XenoBlade Chronicles
Moving forward with the story. My rescued companion had an ailment and I had to retrieve parts to fix it. She's fine now. the game threw us a twist by introducing a lost race that hadn't yet been seen. Cool.
We've fallen completely off the world and are now on a giant fallen hand at the foot of the Mechonis. Ran a few quests for the lost people and learned a lot about the history of the Mechon war. Was pointed to a path that lead to the Mechonis. I am now inside the Mechonis, working my way towards the top.

Borderlands 2:
BEATEN! Well, sort of. Yes, I beat the main story. Yes, I let Lilith kill Handsome Jack. But I still got a bunch of sidequests left to do, and the DLC, and Playthrough 2.

Mordecai: "Heheh, you know what that means."
Lilith: "Yeah. No rest for the wicked."

Just started on Hitman Absolution. Glad to find David Bateson still voicing 47.

It's been years since I last played a Hitman game, but the controls are intuitive enough. Love the ability to ambush someone from a corner. The difficulty has been upped somewhat--guards now grow suspicious when you;re disguised as one of them and walk past them. The "instinct" feature allows you to temporarily tilt your head down to mimnimize suspicion, but the meter doesn't usually last long enough for you to get past safely.

Completed three missions, scoring Silent Assassin rank in the second mission (King of Chinatown).

Resident Evil 5
I beat it. Alot. I beat the game first on normal, then on veteran, and then on professional. I have every weapon upgrade and and got the infinite rocket launcher from beating it a 4th time in under 5 hours. I have most of the trophies from it.

Dishonored
I'm on my second playthrough. I'm trying to get the clean hands trophy and mostly flesh and steel trophy. That's where I have to beat the game without killing anybody and not buying any powers. Blink was just given to me so I whore the f*** out of it. So, I've been trying to ninja this game (yes I used ninja as a verb) like a bitch now and I've been pretty successful. I managed to not kill anybody, knock out everybody who got in my way and neutralize all of the targets. But then I got to the Flooded District. I've gone through that mission 3 times last night and didn't kill anybody, at all. But when it got to the mission end, it said I killed someone. 3 times! I'm still trying to to do this mission without killing anybody.

I don't have every weapon upgrade, mostly because it seemed kind of pointless after getting an Infinite Ammo Lightning Hawk. Give that to Sheva, and watch as all the problems people had with the AI partner suddenly vanish, replaced with a giant pile of dead Lickers.

Borderlands 2:
Doing Playthrough 2, or True Vault Hunter Mode as it's called. Now things are starting to get tough. Enemies that were only kinda tricky before are kicking my ass like they're getting the respawn fee. Good thing Deathtrap is such a badass robotic death god.

Hitman Absolution

Completed chapter 4 and 5. The new instinct system is going to be a bit of a pain until I unlock enough instinct meter upgrades to pass the guards before the meter runs out.

As I play through the game, I noticed there's less trial and error in play than in previous Hitman games, as you can now improvise via any of the new features such as feigning surrender before disarming the guard, point shooting a group of enemies, and even duking it out with the guard.

Your rank will of course be affected, but there's less of a need to restart from a checkpoint.

Fall of Cybertron

Why am I still playing this after beating all difficulties and unlocking all perks, data-logs and weapons? Transforming robots fighting on a metal battlefield, nuff said.

Dishonored

I beat the whole game without killing anybody, including the targets and didn't upgrade any of the powers. Now I gotta go through it again without killing or alerting anybody besides the targets. But it will be alot simpler this time because I can buy some powers now that I have the Mostly Steel And Flesh trophy. Using possession on people makes sneaking around alot easier than just hiding behind things and trying to climb on rooftops.

Borderlands

LVL 23, i am at a prefect state, i got good elemental weapons, a large backpack, my ol'Sniper, A Machine Gun, and a Tirple Rocket RPG (Fires three rockets per click), i manged to get through Mad Mel by sniping his Vehicle from above the ramp, because i found beating him in a "Fair" game of Vehicle vs Vehicle hard, since he got other vehicles spawning with him. Met Scooter in person at last, went to Patrica Tannis (Or was it Tennis?)the half mad woman that i recovered her Journal once and...what did i do for her else...i forgot that part.

Elder Scrolls V Skyrim

i can't believe i reinstalled that escapist paradise, but something brought me back to Skyrim, was it DragonBorn DLC? or didn't experience everything Dawngaurd has...but, well.
My Past Characters were beasts, but know i will settle for a Nord named Tyren, i am on my way up to High Hrothgar.

1. It is Tannis.

2. She's not half mad. The second game mentions she has Aspergers, and that was before Pandora had its way with her. After that, well, what you see in the base game is her at her most stable. She is entirely mad.

3. Most likely it was the Vault Key.

Thanks, now i just bought Borderlands 2 (yay) but i am not launching that game until i finished Borderlands.
I Remembered what i did else "For Her", it was clearing her mine-site from ghosts.

Rex Prime wrote:I Remembered what i did else "For Her", it was clearing her mine-site from ghosts.

Took me a minute to remember that one, mostly because Guardians probably aren't ghosts. (Protip: Their shields are strong, but under that they're very brittle, and a good shock weapon will do them in quick)

Borderlands 2:
BEATEN! Again, sort of. On True Vault Hunter Mode, this time, so I've done with Story Mode twice over. Since I hit the level 50, the current cap, I kind of stopped doing side missions. I guess I'll do those when they increase the level cap. (Which the achievement for level 50 implies they're going to do)

Might as well start trying out the other characters.

I just got Borderlands 2 too. But I joined a game that was ahead of my story and apparently it skipped me to that mission when I got back on single player, so I just quit...

Hitman Absolution

Finished the game, now trying to complete the challenges and try new signature kills. The preset checkpoints can get super-annoying if you're trying to complete Infiltrator challenges. Make a wrong move and get spotted, and it's back the last checkpoint. Massively infuriating.

Still trying to figure out exactly what certain challenges actually want you to do (i.e. "Lieutenant Bad" in Chinatown--kill by proxy?!)

It's not supposed to do that. No reason you can't just start a new character. Hell, I started three new characters just because I ran out of stuff to do on the first one.

Well, I continued my Siren playthrough afterwards, who was only at level 3. The first playthrough was with Zero, who I had at level 18 before the game skipped me. But I quickly leveled up my Siren to level 18 because I joined a level 50 game and just let everyone kill all the enemies for me while I leveled up. A cheap ass tactic, but effective.

Wouldn't the level 50 game also be ahead of you in the story? I didn't hit 50 until I was fighting BNK3R on TVHM.

Borderlands 2:
Focusing on Maya for...well, I guess you could call it playthrough 3? Putting more focus on her Cataclysm skill tree, since it's all of Lilith's best skills focused into only a couple of skills. Phaselock can be upgraded to cause four elemental effects (Shock, Corrosion, Fire, and Slag) and all kinds of other crazy cool stuff.

Everyone has Borderlands 2, I'm still rock'n 1 like a boss.

Borderlands: Playthrough 2

Finally beat it.

Lots of bitch'n, downright sexy-ass guns. One of my personal favorites, The Scoped Guardian. Hold your ground...Forever.

And that one shotgun, Holy crap it shoots rockets!

and the vicious invader, BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

Anyhow, after I defeated The Destroyer, all the enemies on Pandora leveled up with me, holy crap! I cant drive for five seconds without being totally obliterated, kinda sucks.

Well, whenever I get the rest of that DLC...

Yeah, but when it skipped me ahead in my first playthrough, a message popped up after I finished the mission I was on and I just pressed X without reading it. It said something about skipping ahead, but I didn't care enough to finish reading it... So I would assume clicking on the "No" button will keep me where I am in the story.

Huh? I can't hear you over all my guns that make Bessie (The strongest sniper rifle in the game) look like a cheap pellet gun. Oh, hello 7000 damage rating assault rifle, how are you? Why, yes, I have met the 130k damage Rocket Launcher, I was just having lunch with him and the 4000 damage incendiary SMG.

No offense to Bessie, you know I still love you, babe.

BeastProwl wrote:Anyhow, after I defeated The Destroyer, all the enemies on Pandora leveled up with me, holy crap! I cant drive for five seconds without being totally obliterated, kinda sucks.

Yeah, that's playthrough 2.5; all the enemies become MUCH tougher. Borderlands 2 has it as well, part of the reason I'm not touching any of the leftover sidequests until the level cap increase comes out.

BeastProwl wrote:Well, whenever I get the rest of that DLC...

Do it! Borderlands has some of the best DLC ever. It's like Fallout's DLC, but satisfying.

It's complicated.

"Gasps" So my friend gave me his PSN so I was able to download all the DLC and Borderlands for free, but didn't have enough time to download them all, just the...underdome... since then I spent all that time in illinois, and now Im in georgia, and I dont have any wifi, so I can't finish the download. Not like I could though, since then Sony has put a stricter limit to how many people can share accounts, so he booted me off temporarely untill I get wireless, and is sharing with another frient ATM.so in short if I sign on to PSN, I loose Borderlands and several other games and add ons I got from his account.

Thats why I was wondering, can I buy the Game of the year edition of borderlands, and download the DLC from the disk itself? Then use it on my downloaded copy so I dont have to start over again due to the data being different between the two? It was for LBP Game of the year edition, so I assume borderlands is the same? If I restart AGAIN it will be for the fourth time! I cant find an answer to that exact question anywere on the internet...

Nope, since the GOTY edition doesn't use downloading (What with being disc-based and all) and even so, apparently regular BL saves are incompatible with GOTY, which I realize makes no sense at all, but that's how it goes.

EDIT: Here's what you do. Since you don't have wifi, but you do have internet, get yourself a long enough ethernet cable to reach from your modem or router to your PS3, or, if you can, pull the ethernet cable from your PC and hook that into your PS3, if your TV is close enough to your computer, anyway. In my experience, wired internet is vastly superior to wireless anyway.

Shadowman wrote:In my experience, wired internet is vastly superior to wireless anyway.

It is. If I can find my 50 foot chord, I would be able to play DCUO.

Starcraft
I'm not really a PC gamer, but after watching the tournament of Starcraft 2 on IGN, I want to play it also. So now I'm playing 1 right now for the story so I can start 2. And I haven't played an RTS game like 11 years so I suck. Badly. It took me 2 hours to beat 1 mission. But I got done with mission 6 of the Terran campaign the day before yesterday and am about to dive into that again. But this time, I'm looking for tips and stuff so I don't take forever playing 1 damn mission.

Dishonored
I'm on a third playthrough (yes, it's that fun). This time I'm going through it withought anybody getting alarmed of my presence so I can get the ghost trophy. After I get these stealth trophies, I'm playing one more time and I'm slaughtering EVERYBODY.

Thanks For The Tip, but killing them was easy, probably because i was lvl 22 that time. Recently i got a good shock SMG, so if if i ever meet a Guardian again i will make sure i remember what you said.

Black Mesa

second Playthrough, trying to beat through the game in medium, those Aimbot HECU don't give me a chance to make good tactics, so the best tactic is crouch in place with a shotgun, and when he comes to you...shoot'em! just Reached Power Up, i never liked how Garngunta's became invincible and only scripted events could kill them.

Hitman Absolution


Finally found the Charlie Chipmunk costume and completed the Lieutenant Bad challenge.

RE 6

Going crazy with the grenade launcher and submachine pistols, trying to score enough kills for infinite ammo and "Master" buffs.

Because sometimes, people deserve to have their faith rewarded.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:
Picked up and completed a quest to return a cursed sword to its alter to banish some crazy ghost lady. It's been a year, and I'm still finding new stuff to do in this game. Goddamn I love Skyrim.
