Saints Row: IV

I've been playing the crap out of this game, probably about 9 hours yesterday alone lol. But I am enjoying the game and should be at the later parts of the story.

Skyrim

Level 16. Okay so I did this hit job for this kid and I claimed to be part of the Dark Brotherhood. Well, the actual member of the Dark Brotherhood found me and did the thing where I joined them now. It's pretty sweet. The bad thing, if I try to wear the cowl with the mask, the mask doesn't show. Oh well. I still have the thieves armor so I'm using that because its the strongest light armor I have and it's just sweet looking.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow:
BEATEN! Killed Satan (Voice of Jason Isaacs!) and saved the world...and yet didn't really get jack out of it, except for a free revive. Gabe is just a tad pissed about that. Teamed up with Laura to stop the Forgotten One (When you really think about it, the DLC missions are just one sly reference to Lament of Innocence) and in the process, gained his power...and Laura's.

Post credits, modern day, the sequel is set up, after the Lord of Deaths asks for assistance from Gabe--oh, sorry, Gabe's not here anymore. Now he's Dracula.

Also before he fought the Forgotten One, Gabriel shouted "Enough talk! Have at you!" The entire game was worth it for that one line...

CastleVania: Rondo of Blood
Up to level 5. I can make it to Death but he whittles me down quickly with those mini-scythes of his.
I'm glad this game includes a save feature or I'd never get through it.

Lego Batman 2
Defeated the Joker and put him back in Jail. All is well. Up until someone breaks him and most of the prisoners out. I round them all back up in Arkham but the JOker got away. The moment I turn my back, the cops lose the rest of them. #-o

Nobody?

Got to put a little bit of time into all my games today.

CastleVania: Lords of Shadow
Met Pan in the forest, solved a puzzle, saw my first fairy :shock:

Moved on and fought an Ice titan who turned out to be more annoying that intended. I was able to take him down and meet a fellow brotherhood member.
Before anyone comments, I've read the wikis so I know the game's plot.

Lego Batman 2
Took down the 'Juggernaut' vehicle but didn't stop the bad guys. Their new weapon reduced the batmobile to chunks.
Found and defeated Killer Croc and Captain boomerang and unlocked them.

Trine 2
After meeting a talking flower, moved on and took out a giant Goblin. Currently in a witch's house.

Darksiders II
I met the dead king but he won't help unless I collect his dead court. Found the first one but the second wouldn't budge until I trapped 3 lost souls for him to judge. Collected the souls and teh Judicator is now in my power. Moving on to #3.

CastleVania: Aria of Sorrow
More exploring. Met Graham and Yoko a second time. Got the power to walk on water. Used it to reach the floating gardens maze, met a drop-kicking skeleton and got his soul. moved on to the Clocktower and met Death. Got his soul and the ability to walk underwater. Currently exploring the depths.

League Of Legends

This game is slowly starting to consume my free time lol, I haven't really played this game bfore and played a few games and got to level 5.

Borderlands 2

Okay then.
Digistruct Peak is just The Underdome in a line,
Also "playthrough 4" is just a bitch. See, ive been playing BL1 lately, and I seem to have noticed something. In BL1 when you needed good usable loot it was findable! Or buyable! In BL2 its just "Screw that noise! Have my 10,000th white repeater drop this game! Its TOTALLY better than a good gun you can actually use! Right?"

This is gonna be one helluva week...

Devil May Cry

Despite having never gotten into resident evil...I really like this. Its challenging and really fun. But seriously **** that stupid shadow lion thing.

I beat that black knight guy (sparda?) and have progressed a bit, but jesus this is a hard game...

Saints Row IV

Collected all of the audio logs and Zinyak text adventure fragments inbetween bouts of causing mayhem for kicks. Also going through whatever unlocks I skipped or couldn't get in the main campaign, like unlimited ammo for everything. This includes special weapons like the Dubstep Gun.

Having the ability to destroy anything with a never-ending stream of exploding wubs is too much power for one man to wield responsibly.

Nelo Angelo. And no, he is not related to Nero from DMC4.

CastleVania: Rondo of Blood
Had this on Virtual console for ages but only recently put some dedicated time into it. Cleared the game as Rictor, having saved Maria and Annette. Game could be downright frustrating but it's definitely a classic castlevania game at heart. Now if only I could get my hands on symphony of the night on Wii/U or Pc. :-?

I haven't actually been playing Skyrim for a while and I think I'm still level 16. Or something... About to hop back into that. I'm still anxious for Batman Arkham Origins to come out though...

BioShock Infinite:
BEATEN! Ah...yeah. Funny story there, see me and a friend of mine were talking about the new Family Sharing thing Steam is going to get going, and I mentioned I'd be able to play this, through that system as he already owns it. Then he buys it for me anyway because he is Jesus.

Then I played it for, rough estimate here, 13 hours straight. Beat it in one sitting. You might think being able to beat a game in one sitting is a sign of a lousy game, but in this case it's quite the opposite: I was entirely compelled to keep going, I couldn't bring myself to exit to desktop. It's just that good.

Sure, I missed Rapture as much as anyone (Well, except for the brief amount of time where you actually get to visit a short bit of it, just to kill Songbird and also in the upcoming DLC, Burial at Sea) but Columbia is a-okay in my book. Not sure if replacing the superpowered crackheads with militant, racist bible-thumpers was such a hot move, though...

Darksiders 2
Retrieved the dead Court and they were welcomed back with open arms, sort of.
Was sent to the City of the dead. Defeated an evil spirit and freed the souls that he held captive. Was met by the soul of a dead friend who pointed me to a new area.
Entered the LostLight realm (outskirts of Heaven) and met an angel who was apparently an old friend. I was sent to the Archon to see my next path, which apparently leads me to Earth.
Before taking that plunge, hit some side quests. Retried all parts of the lost Guardian. Turned in a book of the dead chapter to Vulgrim and used the supplied key to access a treasure trove.

Tomb Raider:
It went on sale the exact day I had money, for the exact amount I had to spare.

Just avoided the samurai and left the rather drafty temple.

That was actually a really good ass game. I never tried multiplayer though because I read EVERYWHERE that it SUCKED. Think Uncharted multiplayer, but 100% worse. And what's funny, I always thought Uncharted was just a copy of the TR games.

Yeah, and I was probably wrong, too. Since Comstock is Booker after he had accepted his baptism, Elizabeth(s) decide the only way to permanently unmake Comstock and Columbia is to kill Booker before he has a chance to be baptized in the river.

Wigglez wrote:And what's funny, I always thought Uncharted was just a copy of the TR games.

It's not impossible, but chances are they were going for a modern Indiana Jones sort of deal, and that just happened to be TR's thing. Then again, I never played Uncharted...

Skyrim

I hopped back into this. Level 19. I did some contracts for The Dark Brotherhood and they were super easy. I also did this mission for Mercer Frey from The Guild where we were looking for Karliah and it turns out, that f***er Frey tried to kill me! So I went to Winterhold and talked to that guy who was sopposed to translate the book for me, but then did that mission where I had to get the translator guide for him.

I also did some other random missions like doing some detective work in Markarth where you first walk in and that 1 guy just openly kills that women right there in plain view. I also spoke with The Greybeards leader, Paarthurnax. Which turned out to be a dragon. I don't know how I didn't see that coming :BANG_HEAD:

. I also bought some land and started building a house. Too bad I can't own a mill on my land because that would be way easier than doing what I'm doing now... I also adopted a kid from Whiterun.

I'm about to hop back in and see if I can start getting rid of like a dozen missions I have on my list. I might even start the Dragonborn mission or the Dawngaurd one. Oh and if you haven't notice, I'm trying to do like, EVERYTHING possible in 1 playthrough.

Fun fact, if you're quick, you can kill the would-be assassin before he can kill the woman. It even adds an optional objective to the subsequent quest.

Tomb Raider:
BEATEN! Stopped the evil ghost last from possessing Sam, and gunned down the cult leader. (With Lara finally getting to use dual pistols) Overall, really fun game.

Well, I'm kind of late on that so I just did the missions that followed the murder.

It really was. The most fun I actually had was watching the weapons progress to where they are after collecting things and upgrading them through the game. Especially the bow

Am I the only one who thinks the guy who narrates the Yamatai general's journals sounds a lot like Ken Watanabe?

BTW...

Splinter Cell - Blacklist

Finished the solo campaign and completed all 4E missions, unlocking all six pieces of stealth and assault armor.

Bought all SC-type weapons and fully-upgraded them (pistol, SMG, assault rifle, sniper rifle and shotgun).

...and lost all progress when the frakking game froze during a save in the Site F mission.

I had to redo everything, but this time, I took the time to copy the save data to a thumb-drive after every mission. Good thing I did, as it froze again during the LNG Terminal cutscene with the fireman.

The damn game's been lagging during inexplicably during several of the later missions sometimes, and there's little you can do except restart from the latest checkpoint, as it'll usually only get worse until you either reach a cutscene or complete the mission.

Exploring a bit using my new underwater walking powers. Mapped a good chunk of castlespace but it just led me to dead ends. Hmm...

Super Mario Bros U
Revisited this to finish off the last few areas. Cleared the SuperStar Road with all star coins. Whee!

I'm going to hop back OUT of Skyrim for a bit again because I'm currently downloading GTA V. I'm going to play the s*** out of this game. And then I'll get back into Skyrim 'till GTA Online starts up and then I'll alternate between the 2. In my opinion, GTA Online is like a small version of an MMO. And before you bash me, Here are my reasons. You can go around and do missions with friends, shoot up other people and pretty much do anything besides raids. I think I'm going to like this better than DCUO. I'm still iffy though
