Video games...what ya playing? And what are you looking forward to? (6 Viewers)

Ironman is the only way to go. Makes the battles much more intense knowing you can't reload.

Finished my first run through XCOM. Tremendously enjoyable game. The final mission was slightly tougher than expected, but that's mainly because I was sloppy with my maxed-out, all-ghost, mostly-psionic, all-plasma squad.

I think I want to do the next run on Normal (like the first one) but Ironman this time. After starting it up and doing a couple of missions though, I think I may have overestimated what I learned from the first playthrough. I lost a couple of rookies on the second mission, and I'm not completely sure that I'm sequencing the facilities construction correctly, which I know is crucial in the early game. I'm strongly inclined to press on and see how things go. If this doesn't go well, I can always just try a "regular" Classic run.

Definitely. I re-started to try to do a little better in the first couple of missions (successfully), but it does rip your heart out a little every time a ranked-up soldier dies. I'm only in month 3 of this one, so when I lose somebody they're usually a sergeant or less, but still it thins your stable out. I learned really fast that this is a setting that isn't for everybody because it makes the game very stressful to play.

Edit: I also lost the UK early on to a screw-up on my part. The UK already had a panic level of 4, and I got a terror mission there in month two. My highest-ranked sniper was going to recover from injuries one day later, so I figured I could just advance the clock a day and do the mission with my best squad. Nope. As soon as I started scanning to advance the clock, England pulled out of the council. The mission is still there but the country itself is lost. Oh well. If I'd known that was the choice I was facing, I might have let the UK walk anyway, since a terror mission probably would have cost me a soldier or two.

Turn to omni gel. Cash is near meaningless in this game as you can find as good or better gear as you can buy. I say this knowing you don't care about trophy's.As a soldier, I think you want to make sure you take a long a character that has good decryption so that you can open the containers. As long as someone in the party has the skill level high enough, you can then perform the button mash decryption.There are side quests that revolve around finding a ton of different items that you either mine or survey for. Check every planet in every system. Some you can't do anything, some you only survey, some you can land on and mine.Also, check for smaller items in the map like moons, space stations, asteroids etc. There is a bunch that you can land on. Key is to just check everything in the map.

Wow, ok. So Omni-gel it is.

Okay, so as long as SOMEONE has decryption. That's good to know. I need to pay more attention to who I take along them. See, this is this type of thing you miss not having a manual handy!

I'll pay more attention on the map screens. I was doing good to make sure I looked at all the planets. Never even thought to look for space stations and derelict space craft.

So much to learn...

 

[TxBuckeye]

Another thing, when you land on a planet, there will be spots marked on the overhead map to explore. There are also spots not on that map that you can find. Keep an eye on your radar when driving around. You'll notice orange markers pop up on the radar that don't appear on the map.

Yea, I've done this already. Found some unit emblems, some mineral deposits, relics, stuff like that.

To be honest, I don't think the manual says any of that. OF course I never look at manuals unless they're for sports games.

Looks like I've been taking the right people. I just haven't been putting points in to THEIR decryption. I've been more concerned with making them useful and survivable in a fight. Most the time, seems I'm the one fighting, and my team mates are just fodder to draw fire for a bit before they go down. I need to learn some better squad control. Or accept them as fodder and put points in to things like decryption or whatnot so they serve SOME purpose.

I think I re-started 50 times before beating it on classic ironman. I definitely got my money's worth on this game.

Can Bioschock and TR be played on PC no problem? I mean from a controls perspective. Seems shooters are better for consoles but if I play either of these it would probably be on PC and don't want to do that if it sucks.

Really? I found Classic fairly simple after a bit. It was a step up from Normal for sure. But after playing Impossible for a bit, going back to Classic became a fairly easy playthrough. I won either my first or second try of Ironman. It's a shame I could never pursue I/I. Just to many bugs for that to be doable IMHO.

The Bioshock games play well on PC. Just as good as any shooter. I can't say about Tomb Raider, but I would have to assume it would work about the same as Assassin's Creed at the least. And if you don't like the controls for TR, you can still play with a controller.

Just started playing Deus Ex (yeah I know, it's so 2011) only just started but it has a very cool interface and storyline early on. I hope it holds up. Just wondering do the choices you make during the interactive process (e.g. reason, humble, empathize) change the actual outcomes of the story or merely alter the dialogue?

I did the same. Started it a couple months ago. Got bogged down quickly though and I haven't gone back yet. Was a pretty cool setting with pretty good controls. Not sure if the choices have much bearing later on but they give you points as if they do (i.e. you get "good" or "bad" points towards something). I'll go back at some point just haven't yet.

There multiple endings but your decisions during most of the game do not effect which one you get.

Bioshock: Infinite is almost TOO disorienting and strange. I'm not having as much fun (yet) as I thought I would. I just got to the Chen Lin part -

The first main "alternate world" part.

The music that plays on the Fink docks is UGLY. I know it's supposed to be but sheesh...

I only played Ironman ever on this game. I'm sure if I hadn't played Ironman the learning curve would've been easier.

so i decided to not worry about all the little things in tomb raider. although missing 1 thing of eggs is killing me. anyway just want to get through the story.

can anyone tell me how much i have left

Spoiler

i just got back onto the ship and am trying to find the guy that went for parts, i jut beat that giant dude and acquired thestrong rope pull thing and dropped the thing into the ship, and wen to my locker

Probably about 2/3 done. Maybe a little less.

 

[TxBuckeye]

Yea, I'm sure. Early on with the game, I felt it was more important to try things out and, if they failed, reload and try something else out. Trying something and finding out it doesn't work, only to have to restart from scratch, that doesn't sound like much fun when you are new to the game. Ironman is something you should probably work up too.

This is exactly what I am worried about after seeing the trailers. Can you expand on that a bit? Or would it be impossible to do without throwing out to many spoilers?

I think that I'm always so busy looking for clues as to what's I'm leading up to that I don't pay attention to what I'm doing in the moment.

I'm overstating it a bit. It's not strange as in "macabre". It just doesn't reveal things very quickly and I get impatient with that.

thank you sir, it say 58 % complete but wasnt sure how much that included the gps caches etc. really enjoying it, only had a couple frustrating levels but overall good fun

I like it that way. I like to do things right. Even on game levels that I've beaten I'll go back if I can see a better way. The problem I had with this game is there wasn't a decent tutorial.

Yeah, it's a slow burn so far. I haven't gotten too far yet (at the Hall of Heroes) there have been a lot of hints about the story but I am totally mistified as to the grander picture. I wasn't really getting into it until I finally got to girl seen in the trailers. Now it's awesome.

And wow, the subtle and way not so subtle racism themes are in your face. I know they are trying to be true to the time period and this "city in the clouds" setting they've created, but there's some messed up stuff here and there (like the Hall of Heroes for example.) This is not a game I would let younger kids play.

The 58% includes everything, GPS caches, relics, challenges, etc. I finished at 90% as I said earlier, and I did all the caches and relics. To be honest, I had the feeling you are a little further along than what Andy said. I was going to put you at 75% or 80%. I was on that ship and finished the game the next day (or perhaps two days). And I tend to have very short play sessions. But it could have been that I was just enjoying the game more by then as I was through all the annoying QTEs. Either way, the end is in sight!

 

[shake zula]

I just finished bio shock infinite and it was an aswesome ending. Overall one of the best games I've played. I may go back and finish the original Bioshock as I gave it up midway through.

I'll wait for your final review. With me being knee-deep in ME, it will be awhile before I look to get Infinite. I'll be interested in your final opinion once you get through the whole game.

All I'll say is that I was also overwhelmed by everything going on when I was trying to be a step ahead of the story. The best thing to do is take everything as it comes and it will all explain itself in the end. Not to say that you can't try to figure it out yourself.

I agree with this statement. I played it slow, exploring and reading everything, just I like I did in the original Bioshock (and pretty much everything else I play). But I really didn't feel like I was into the game until I met Elizabeth. I probably should mention that thanks to playing it like I did and absorbing so much of the world, it still helped me appreciate the game moreso once the story ended.

 

[Mad Cow]

Never finished Bioshock from when it first came out. Going to go do a full run for the story, I think. Start over and see. I have #2 sitting in my Steam library anyway.

 

[OC Zed]

I picked up XCOM yesterday per all the recent talk in this thread. I enjoyed the first few missions I played, but didn't realize it wasn't autosaving and all of my (early) progress was lost. I'm not too worked up about it as I am still getting my feet wet here and won't mind so much going back to redo these levels.

I really like the style of gameplay here and it feels like a total throwback to turn based RPGs which I miss. The graphics aren't the best, but I can live with that.

Been waiting to pick up XCOM forever but that game is retaining it's price better than most.

Tried to pick it up at Christmas when Green Man gaming had it on sale but their amateur hour site couldn't handle the web traffic.

I paid $27.99 at Gamestop for a used copy. That's more than I wanted to pay, but still a lot cheaper than the other new games that look interesting (i.e., Bioshock, TR, The Show, etc.). Also, I can still return it for a full refund within 7 days if I don't like it or finish it before then.

One more ME question that I couldn't find the answer to in the online manual. How do you melee? I keep getting cornered due to the horrible movement AI for the NPCs. Many times, I need to swack something in the face. I have managed it a few times by accident, thought it was the fire button (R2)? But that doesn't seem to consistently work. Is that the right key to be using?

By the way, I progressed the main story today. Finished up the Thorian and got the cypher. I am going to do a few of the side quests I picked up around Feros, at least four or so, before going on to the next storyline mission. I like exploring planets. Provides a break from the run and gun that the main storyline missions seem to provide.

Melee is more of an automatic thing. You have your weapon out and you use R2 like you're firing but you have to be like right on top of the guy you want to hit. If you're too far it shoots. So it's not a real exact science.

Ok, that makes sense. That seems to be exactly what happened. I had time to do another side quest today. Just some planetary science camp where everyone had become husks. Seemed like a VERY easy mission, but the place was loaded with good stuff! I don't know if this is because of my level, but my weapon damaged basically doubled doing what seemed like one of the simpler quests in the game. I think my Assault Rifle damage went from like 120 to 238 on this one. My gun seems MUCH more effective now. I'm a lawn mower, just mowing down husks! And I got an awesome sniper rifle and some kick butt armor to boot. I definitely see the benefits of doing side quests. Though I have no one in my party with electrnics, so I can never harness the debris I find.

Yea, gaining the xp is totally worth the side quests. Also depends on what difficulty you're playing on. Casual is just to breeze through for the story. Normal is pretty much cake. Veteran is a challenge but manageable. Hardcore (after you beat the game once) is brutal. You lose your shields within 1 or 2 shots everytime. Plus it takes a ton to bring down theirs.

You can always go back. It took me something like a day to go back to get them all after all was said and done. It was funny running into enemies that were still stuck on the island after the end. I was surprised that new ones didn't spawn, so most of the island is deserted.

I am playing whatever the default level is. That's what I normally do. I think that it is Normal? I won't lie, I died quite a few times in places, like the Thorian main battle area. Sometimes I get lazy. Or don't pay enough attention to my health and shields. Really wish they wouldn't always bury that stuff in the bottom left of the screen. I would love my health and shield status to be center top of the screen, right around the area where my eyes are concentrated. Lots of good skills to save yourself when low on health. But I'm never aware I need to use them until I see my crumpled body on the screen.

I reads somewhere (I think IGN) that after the game is over, there are no enemies, you are free to explore. So I'm actually surprised you ran in to any enemies at all. They definitely aren't respawning though. Well, according to the site anyways. I never went back once the game ended.

You can always go back. It took me something like a day to go back to get them all after all was said and done. It was funny running into enemies that were still stuck on the island after the end. I was surprised that new ones didn't spawn, so most of the island is deserted.

I reads somewhere (I think IGN) that after the game is over, there are no enemies, you are free to explore. So I'm actually surprised you ran in to any enemies at all. They definitely aren't respawning though. Well, according to the site anyways. I never went back once the game ended.

It may have been guys I didn't completely dispose of the first time. Either way, their commentary was interesting.
