Borderlands 2

"Your eyes deceive you, an illusion fools you all, I move for the kill"

I cant stop playing! This game's better than I thought! it's freaking awesome!

I'm at the point were I need to rescue roland. Its damn near impossible without caustic weapons! all these damn loaders! I cant believe I havnt found a single acid weapon yet...

Also, been co-oping. My friend does not know wut is borderlands, its hell. I had to revive him over 20 times during the escape across the dam. Playing solo is preferable sometimes I guess.

Anyway, details dudes, how good is the DLC? Did the lvl cap increase?

The DLC is amazing, the level cap hasn't increased yet, and if you're playing on PS3, you better have a good reason for not inviting me to co-op. I beat the story twice-over, I know what I'm doing. The only problem is that I prefer to play as Gaige, and unless you want to roll with a level 50, I'd have to start a fresh Gaige from scratch.

Rayman origins
Collected all electoons and the Darktoon teeth, which means I've unlocked the land of the Livid dead. Just got that left and I'm done.

I Hate that place.

Dishonored

I Escaped from the flooded district and went to the sewers, where i find Granny Rags the "elder" woman blessed with the outsider's powers and Slackjaw the gang leader, and i helped both of them times in the past, Rags want to make of Slackjaws bones a bone charm, Slackjaw want's me to set him free..ummmm a weird old lady with powers or a man with his word....Slackjaw was my choice, after burning Granny Rag's Cameo which gives her immortality i sleep darted her and i kept my hands clean from blood, Slackjaw gave me lots of money, and i entered Granny's house to find some bone and runes, good for me.
Now i returned to the hound pits, i will throw that damn traitor to dust! but the place is a Tallboy Hell, the whole city watch is there. Plans...Plans

Borderlands 2

I Skipped the first one and bought this while i can, the result was:

This game is the first game, but 1000% more awesome.

i met tiny tina and got her bandobandoks thing, and made exploded the hyperion train, now it's time for the real robot smashing.

That would be cool, but im only level, 12 I think? I play so much I forget what level I am.

How is Gaige anyway? I read up on her, and was seriously debating buying her...

anyway, I wouldn't be against co oping with you, I just dont want to play with someone who's overpowered. I did that once, wasnt too fun.

I think I have Maya around that level, I'd have to check.

Gaige is the bomb. Most of Deathtrap's abilities are hilariously overpowered. And Gaige herself is a totally cute redhead who tends to make Unreal Tournament quotes during combat.

In DCUO, I have a tendency to join in combat far below my CR. The result is that my friends all have combat done for them.

Mass Effect 2 (PS3)
Platinumed and got all the trophies for Arrival as well. One Insanity run did it.

Mass Effect 3 (PS3)
Imported my Shepard from 2, half-way through the Mars portion, doing Insanity first run to try and platinum this in one run as well. Also running multiplayer for a few hours a day.

Saints Row The Third (PC)
Right now I'm just running around the sitting taking out rival gang positions. Probably should advance the story, but I've been playing in little 30 minute bursts.

Persona 4 Golden (PS Vita)
Combat! Finally! Two hours plus into this and I finally had my first fight and unlocked my Persona. Story is pretty interesting and I get sucked into it for hours even though it was basically a high school simulator with a murder mystery angle. Now we're invading TVs though.

Apparently so, which is weird seeing as it's impossible to experience the full game in one playthrough, being a Bioware game and all.

You can start an import run on Insanity, and as long as you do some multiplayer in 3, yes to both ME2 and ME3. It can be platinumed in one run each.

Mass Effect on the PS3 however will take a MINIMUM of 3 playthroughs as you have to unlock Hardcore and Insanity with a run on Normal and hardcore.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
After over 2 hours trying, I finally got through the Day 2 boss(es) for Ayane. those 3 guys kept beating my down with frustrating ease. I finally watched some walkthroughs for tips and found out there is an unblockable F U attack that can hit all 3 of them and take 10-20% of their health each hit. Neat.
So now I'm back to Ryu in a jungle area. Just unlocked the Staff weapon. Nifty but hard to time since it has a habit of auto-attacking which kills my timing. but still, new weapon.

Lost in Shadow
started the game. Learning the game mechanics, but liking it so far. Got a sword and reached level 6F of the tower.

Borderlands 2

OK! So far I've rescued roland, met up with Mordocai (Mordacai?) anyway... Havnt really mentioned it yet, but i've been trying to figure out what race he was all this time, and had him tagged as either asian, or hispanic. "Gotchya Pandaho!" Hispanic it is!
Also, god he sounds different.

Moving on...

Hijacked a train with the help of two fine ladies, was off da chain! Wut!?

Wilhelm kicked my ass up and down that glacier a few times, but thats done with, stole his power core and...

Holy crap! Plot!
'This is wunna dem moments! CATCH A RIIIIIIIIIIIIDE!!!
Sup. "Teleports city'

Well DAYUM. Sh!ts gett'n real now son!

I also delivered the pizza, celibated a birthday, turned a robot into a gun, lit a whole coult on fire, torched a volleyball net, and so-on.

Im now lvl 19.

Bought the Creature slaughter dome, The collectors edition, and The Mechromancer packs. Im set.

[Shadowman]

Mordocai (Mordacai?)

Mordecai.

Also, god he sounds different.

Roland and Mordecai both got new voice actors.

Alpha Protocol:
Cleared Taipei with the crazy awesome Steven Heck, moved on to Moscow. Killed Brayko; was it because he pimped out his sisters since he was a kid? Was it because of my job? Or was it just because of his crimes against taste? The answer is yes.

[BeastProwl]

I dont like his new VA all that much, I have to imagine the years and booze and bloody combat had their toll. Roland's is fine though.

Mass Effect 3 (PS3)
Got to Palavan then got distracted with multiplayer and friends again.

Saint's Row The Third (Steam/PC)
A few more trohpies, some more swiped cars at my disposal and a few more missions down.

Persona 4 Golden (PS Vita)
Not much further. Distracted with...

Transformers: Legends (Android)
The tournament took up a surprising amount of my handheld time even though I ended up not placing because of my own bad timing.

Minion Master (PC)
Just grabbed this to review. Neat cross between Heroscape and Magic The Gathering without any of the clean-up. Primarily a multiplayer game which is great with friends but currently no one really online playing it. The AI is smart enough and the game mechanics work well enough that playing alone is still a challenge.

Dungeons and Dragons Online (PC/Steam)
Worked on getting my Ranger/Rogue/Fighter flagged for a raid and a few other smaller quests.

Mass Effect 3 (PS3)

ME3 multiplayer is actually really fun. Probably because it isn't player-versus-player like you'd expect, closer to WfC/FoC's Escalation mode, except at round 10 they just say "Hey, get to this spot and you win." Not to mention doing it enough gets you the better endings.

Borderlands 2:
Bought Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt. Beat it in a day, mostly because I was using a level 50 Gaige on level 30 enemies. (Saving Playthrough 2/True Vault Hunter Mode for when the level increase patch comes out) It's not quite as good as the last two, but still actually really fun, especially the interactions between the characters...even id there are only three of them.

Claptrap: "And I learned to be myself, ad not to just try to copy Sir Hammerlock!"
Hammerlock: "True strength comes from accepting out weaknesses, Claptrap."
Claptrap: "OMIGOD THAT WAS SO CLASSY TEACH ME TO BE LIKE YOUUUUUU!"

Fought my way through the wildlife exploitation reserve to rescue Bloodwing.

Things got dark...

I really dont like handsome jack, and I really hope that, when I kill him, it is utterly satisfying...

It's not about liking Handsome Jack. It's about realizing that, despite being a pure evil sociopathic douchebag, the things he says are still hilarious. Like his story about the guy in New Haven who tried to bum rush Jack with a spoon, especially the "moral" of the story. Had me in stitches.

And things are going to get a lot darker before the story ends.

[BeastProwl]

Everything he says makes me laugh! I feel like a total dick because of it.

Anthony Burch said he had a "stupid amount of freedom" when it came to writing the game, and that only three people at Gearbox knew about Butt Stallion when the game was released.

lvl 22, i finally found the assualt rifle of my dreams, and i "rescued" Bloodwing, i am progressing slowly in the story because i spend most of my time going through side-quests. During that, i found a...

Minecraft Easter Egg




Dishonored

THIS WHY I AM PROGRESSING SLOWLY IN BORDERLANDS!!!!, THIS GAME IS FRIGGIN' AWESOME! it's must play despite the first mission being a bit boring, but boring because my first Playthrough was a stealth low chaos game to get the first ending, but at the ending it turns out to be very fun, now i am on my second playthrough, the KILL KILL KILL playthrough, this game's swordfighting is better then Skyrim, and i enjoy summoning rats and blowing people, the game is really fun on both ones, also, i discovered that the game has some capable bosses, who can be skipped entirely if you don't want a cinematic battle, Choices....I got the DLC and it's challenging me, it's really good DLC, i like how Arkane Studios came to gaming from nowehere and brought us a Gem in gaming, a must get. I feel sorry for anyone who didn't play this and Rayman Origins.

Also, there is a peeing guard

Went on a quest for the dastardly cursed gun known as The Bane.
Figuring this gun was going to be totally badass, I went out of my way to get it.

Lets just s call it a novelty gun

I played the s*** out of this game. I went through playthroughs in a row, it's that good. I even got the clean hands trophy without killing anybody, not even the targets. It's amazing.

Hitman Absolution
I've been playing missions over and over again trying to get the challenges done.

I'll get to that game eventually. My Wii U has suddenly developed a backlog I need to get to.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
Just cleared Day 3. The final section was a boss battle against... a... METAL-SKINNED CYBORG CLONE T-REX.

Hard as hell, but far from boring.

Good to see someone else considering to get Dishonored, i think it was overlooked by a lot of people despite having some really good sales that made Bethesda beg Arkane to make a sequel (Arkane said it won't make a sequel).

Hunting down Kelly, one of the guys who trashed our ninja hideout. This game is really pimp, which I'd expect from the people who brought us Shank.
