2015 VIDEO GAME CATCH-ALL THREAD


Gonzo

Recommended Posts

I've had a WiiU sitting around unopened for about 7 months. I decided to finally set it up recently. I was wondering if there were any good free games on the shops that I could download? I got Zen Pinball, that was a damn demo, not a full game as advertised. Any others I could get to tide me over until pay day?

I'm still annoyed that the Casino Night bonus content never came to PS3.  I bought the PC version when it was in a Humble Bundle, but it doesn't run well enough on my old-ass system to be worthwhile.

 

i'm still waiting for Sonic 4 (part 2) to be available for the Wii or Wii-U.

Binged on Destiny over the weekend so no busting Triad asses in HK lately.   The Sleeping Dogs reports should return this week since I am on graveyard for two weeks straight and stuck with parent's worthless router.   Gonna have to get serious about finding them some new equipment that doesn't fubar my gameage.

 

I may have to tap out and just tell them to swap out the Techicolor router for an Arris one at the Xfinity equipment place.   They also have an outdated cable box in the guest room.

Your JT IS FINALLY PLAYING SLEEPING DOGS~! report.

 

- Didn't get a lot of gaming in today.  First day after pulling graveyard is always murder.

 

- Found the last six lockboxes in Central (ACHIEVEMENT~!).  Bummed that a revenue stream is gone, but I own all off the cars, have all of the safehouse upgrades, and own most of the clothing so it's not like I need to have money for anything other than buffs for missions.

 

- No achievement yet for owning all clothes in the game.  Probably more preset outfits linked to completing missions.

 

- Finished the last two available races. (ACHIEVEMENT~!).  Still very thankful that there is not much to racing in this game other than owning the most expensive vehicles.  Velocita has ridiculous amounts of breakaway speed.  If no one PITs you at the beginning of the race, you are guaranteed to win if you don't fubar yourself by running off course.

 

- Got two more missions done.   I am almost dying trying to get Fluid Striker points.   Gonna have to check YouTube for a cheese tactic to get that Gold medal.  Also finding out how hard it is to wreck cars in this game without a grenade launcher.  Damn vehicles are made out of kryptonite or something. 

 

- I also need to get more Disarms but no one seems to be coming at me with melee weapons lately.

 

- I am one kill away from the blind fire gold medal.  Riot Shotguns FTW!

Night Dive finally got System Shock 1 onto GOG (and so presumably it will be on Steam in 4-6 weeks).  I've played and loved 2. I know the rep of 1. So far, I'm finding its archaicness frustrating in a way that doesn't really happen for most pre-mouselook shooters; I think I need to do some tweaking and shit.

I legit cannot even start to imagine what Wasteland 2 will be like on PS4. I'd say "fool's errand' but the insane console ports are what brought me to the Ultima table, so you never know.

 

Not to mention Divinity: Original Sin Director's Cut is coming. If PS4 can get a version of Elite: Dangerous or a port of Civilization V, it's over.

- RIP Jackie Ma.  Mother Fuckers have to pay.

 

- RIP Big Smile Lee.  The ending of this game is filled with so much over the top Hong Kong action film goodness that it is criminal. 

 

- I still have some work to do via action replay.  I am still not Triad Level 10, so I guess I have to repeat some missions to get Triad XP and earn more medal progress.

 

- Also missing some articles of clothing somewhere.  Back to checking out the stores to make sure I bought them all out.  If that doesn't work, I guess I will get the DLC on the cheap and beat them to see if the added content set different completion criteria for the achievments.

 

- Apparently I also didn't kill someone with ten different firearms.  A little annoyed that it appears that completion of achievements via Action Replay or DLC seems like it was designed into the game.

This is legit astonishing. The Star Trek Enterprise-D being recreated in the Unreal Engine by one guy with a lot of free time.

 

Make a full game with this and take my fucking money.

 

I bought that Star Trek:TNG technical manual on CD-ROM when I was a little nipper because of the virtual tour it had of the bridge and engineering.  13-year-old Zimbra's head would explode if he saw this.

IIRC there are a couple of pieces of clothing that are only sold at one store.  I remember having to go to all of the stores to make sure I got everything.

 

You definitely can't get 100% on a normal playthrough.  You don't get enough Triad points or enough gun kills.  I grinded the mission with the shootout in the hospital to get a few of the trophies.

I need to blow up more cars so I will grind the funeral mission and check my kill% to see which guns I haven't used.  Then I will cheat via YouTube to see which missions use those firearms.

 

I will also grind the wedding massacre since you can earn points toward Disarm and Fluid Striker by doing that table vault / disarm thing on the 18K goons.

The Governor of Rhode Island is also a villain in this story. Arguably more so than Schilling.

Lots of villains - Wells Fargo knew the loan was bad and still sold the state on doing it.

The public library where I work is starting a game collection. Since its B2G1 weekend at GameStop, I ended up going on a $1500.00 shopping spree. It's my normal GS (and about 200 yards from my office), so I know the people there, which helped. It's not a full collection by any means, but is a hell of a start.

There's something surreal about just being able to sweep most anything you want into a box and not have to worry about how you're going to pay for it.

Turns out, even if you're spending $1500 on games, they still don't hesitate to ask if you want to preorder anything. Heh.
