2015 VIDEO GAME CATCH-ALL THREAD

Recommended Posts

 

Has anyone ever been able to find a video of Nintendo's 1997 CES presentation where a CGI Mario explained that Nintendo would not be producing a CD-ROM because they were just a fad and cartridges were here to stay?

 

Well, technically Nintendo never DID release a CD-ROM system so at least that part was right :)

 

Two current consoles use cartridges and I can't remember the last time a game was released on CD-ROM. Mario wouldn't lie to us guys.

PSN was having issues yesterday, so that may explain the slow download.

If you're talking about me, the download was fine once it got started. But every time I tried to make the purchase, it would give me an error. And this shit happens to me in the PSN Store all the time. Admittedly, it's much worse on PS3, which is almost unusable, but even on PS4 I get a lot more trouble than I do on my X-Boxes.

So I just completed Mass Effect 2's final mission, and...

There's an achievement for the whole squad surviving the suicide mission. Legion got kidnapped by swarms during a cutscene and at no point did anyone say "Here's how we rescue Legion, we should really get him back before the big explosion that kills everything on board." Is that a troll trophy or something?

 

I'm literally not watching the end credits right now.

Did you do his loyalty mission?

I did, yeah. He was in his alternate outfit and everything. I had max paragon so I could resolve his argument with Tali without losing either's loyatly (I had to work to get Miranda's back though).

 

Also, I'm level 29 and you get a trophy for reaching thirty. How? There's no game left!

Ok, during which part did Legion get taken? Was he on a fire team? Who was leading it? Did you send him in the ducts (he and Tali are the ones that do well there)? I'm trying to remember how it all goes, but basically I'd try selecting different people than you selected for all those choices.

Tali died too, off camera. We were going through the swarms, with Jacob being the biotic force field, and Grunt and Legion on my Fireteam. Garrus was leading the other squad and Mordin was escorting the crew back to the ship. Got to the end of the swarm area, everyone rushed through the door except Legion who hung back to give covering fire, and then he got swarmed and carried off.

 

EDIT: Looked at the guide. It seems my mistake was using Jacob as the Biotic, because I should have used Jack or Samara. Tali probably died because I kept the elite warriors with me at the end, instead of bringing a weak team and relying on myself to kick ass.

 

I did scan a few planets to find extra missions and make level 30 though. Although I'll probably go back to finish the finale with all Survivors before I go into ME3.

Finally played and beat Bayonetta 2.  It's the Ben-Hur of anime.  Didn't have anything quite as awesome as the part from the first game where she shot the cherub in the pee-hole.

Playing dishonored.

 

it's...okay. Blink is fun but the upgrade works for verticality, not for huge extended lateral blinks.

 

the characters look weird as hell too. 

 

It's playing like a steampunk metal gear game; doesn't quite know what it wants to be.

Batman: Arkham Asylum on Hard Mode is ridiculous. I'm nearing the end and I hate this game. I may or may not do the other trophies for a Platinum. The enemies take away too much health and the health upgrades suck. To me, Arkham Asylum has not aged well and is in danger of being overrated.

Asylum's hard mode is all about saving the heath upgrades for the boss fights.  

 

Besides, you want hard?  Arkham City New Game+ on Hard calls you a pussy.

Knight on New Game + hasn't been too difficult outside of a few situations where you're swarmed by ~20 enemies. I'm thinking of saving the rest of it for after I go back and play through Asylum and City again.

Like.... I literally am always confused how everyone calls the Arkham games very difficult. Save the Deathstroke fight in Arkham Origins, I've never found anything in any of those games difficult.

Beat Persona 4 Golden with the True Ending.

 

Game is a goddamned masterpiece and the Persona games (since the very first one back on PSone) are the only JRPGs I can get into.

 

Have you played any of the other games in the series?  The MegaTen/Persona games are probably my favorite jrpg series.

Yeah, I've been playing since Revelations: Persona on PSX.

 

Only Persona I haven't played is the English translation of Persona 2: Innocent Sin but I have a PSTV now (Guys, they're $40 at Gamestop and worth it for that price if you don't have a Vita and want to play P4G), so I'll eventually do so.

 

I've branched out a little to other Megaten games but I don't get into them as much as Persona, usually.  Right now the only one I can play on systems I own that isn't Persona is the original Shin Megami Tensei which I have on my iPad.  PS4 not being backwards compatible ruins all the PS2 ones and my PS2 died.
