yeah. There is no date yet but a couple of weeks ago I posted a long video showing a ton of game play. It looks tremendous. Here is a link in case you want to watch it. It is a 12 minute video
Bioshock 2 is more of the same as 1, just better looking. You'd probably have more fun playing A.A. at this point.
Thanks. At this point you are right. I'm not really having fun playing Bioshock 1. I just need to finish it.
i thought BI was very boring and couldnt wait for it to end
I just bought them all. From ashes mission was pretty generic. Felt like even less than one of the n7 missions. Javik does provide a lot of bbackstory though.Starting omega tonight. Its 2gbs so it should have something good. Citadel is 4 gbs but it must take place layer cause nothing is different yet.
Finally finished it tonight. Beating Fountaine was too easy. But the lead up was good. Building the big daddy suit and protecting little sisters was fun.
I mentioned these in an earlier post. I got all of the single player DLCs simply because I didn't want the game to end. From Ashes is the one that was part of the original game but EA carved it out prior to release so they could nick us with the extra spend on release date. That being said it is a good mission and provides a squad mate that will give a lot of very cool back story on the Protheans. All in all, however, I found him to be a relatively uninteresting character after I got all the story from the DLC. I think I may have preferred having a different squad mate than Javik Leviathan and Omega are similar in quality. Leviathan is more interesting as it gives more context to the reapers and Omega is much more focused on action and doesn't really relate to the overall reaper story (Omega also takes away your squad as you go off on the mission alone with Aria). Citadel is the most gratifying from my perspective. I think the boss fight was the toughest perhaps in the entire game (for reasons that will become obvious) and it was also the most humorously written story arc in the entire series. Lots of good one liners and, like the suicide mission from ME2, all of your squad gets involved, which is very cool. It also gives you the "send off" that the audience wanted (and felt Shepard deserved) and was one of the chief complaints about the actual final mission from ME3. It just leaves you feeling good. You need to complete Citadel before the assault on Cerberus base but I would wait until you get that mission before completing Citadel so you can have everyone available for the post mission party. All of the DLCs have value because they provide you with war assets that are gained without having to do multiplayer, or the two mobile DLCs, which give you war assets that expire after something like 12 hours, so you really have to grind on those platforms to get any value out of them. All in all I am happy I did them all. I would probably rank them Citadel>>>>>Leviathan>From Ashes=Omega
Just got done omega. That was a blast. Way better than the 5 second javik retrieval. I love aria though. And a female turian, knew we were missing something.The characters in me3 are fairly boring. Wish they added a new angle. I saw angry joe suggested that batarian that tries to kill us in the docks. That would have been interesting as a teammate. Hell a batarian in general since Shepard did kill 350k of them in arrival.
Thanks. I don't know how I missed that.
Question - All I've read about is how great the Great Sythe is so I went for a dex build. Then I got a Black Knight Sword which I fell in love with. Problem is I pumped my dex up to 40 and even my +5 fire great Sythe doesn't even come close to the damage my great black sword deals out.Is my build gimped? Should I just keep pumping into dex and put down the black sword for another play through/stregth build? (Yes I know I will have to hope for another BS drop)
Omega is definitely fast paced but it also got a bit derivative and the ultimate payoff is severely lacking.
It's been too long since I've played this to give good build advice -- sorry. What you're describing though is sort of what I was complaining about. The sythe is a pretty cool weapon, but it's just so badly outclassed by other stuff in the game that you feel like you're gimping yourself by using it. And lighthing weapons do significantly more damage than fire (IIRC) that it makes it hard to justify using fire weapons -- especially when you consider that so many enemies are weak to lightning but a bunch are strong vs. fire.
Kind of gimped if you absolutely have to use the BKGS, 40 dex is a lot.My philosophy in Dark Souls is that you play the game however you want, but if you wanna use a certain weapon set out to only use that weapon. If you like the BKGS, I suggest restarting and building specifically to the BKGS. But I might suggest you try out the other great weapons like the Zweihander or the Black Knight Halberd, Smough's Hammer is also hilarious.When I played I chose weapons that had great combos and didn't worry about stat scaling.
From Ashes was very brief but full of action and the Prothean background info that you gain from the mission was very interesting and a nice payoff after three games of trying to figure out who those guys were. Omega is longer and more action packed but From Ashes has the better payoff.Well it fit my Shepard fine.
I'm not trying to disagree with you for the sake of disagreeing but from most accounts the Great Scythe is the most powerful weapon in the game. IIRC that's with high dex and +5 fire. While others love the range - I just don't like it.
Up the tutorial time.
Is this a mod or expansion? I picked up CK2 last summer on steam but haven't played it at all yet. However, I am a GOT junkie so this could motivate me to start tonight.
These do not support co-op but are great RPG games in a fantasy settingDemon SoulsDark Souls Kingdoms of AmalurIf you are looking for similar RPB gameplay but not in a fantasy setting, give Fallout 3 a whirl. Fabulous game.
You will be fine sticking with Skyrim, get some DLC...Dragon Age Origins is amazing. You may want to check out Dragons Dogma. I heard it is a heck of a RPG. And if you want to throw your controller through the TV go grab Demons Souls or Dark Souls (awesome titles that are very difficult games).
Not a traditional rpg but a great game in its own right is the shooter/rpg Borderland 1 & 2. Both can be bought as good deals now. These especially work with your two player split screen co-op.
Not sure how much content it adds, looked it up and it just says it follows the Artorias story. If it adds all of the content from the prepare to die edition then absolutely - if its just the Artorias stuff, meh.
That should say madshot not Todem below.
I never played Borderlands but Borderlands 2 is perhaps the funniest game I have ever played. The dialogue is sometimes spit take funny. I also love the co-op mode, it really takes the game to another level to be able to play cooperatively against the AI from remote systems. They really nailed that dynamic. I am almost embarrassed to tell how many hours I have put into that game.
