OK, just finished ME1 (doing casual combat etc...Hey i did say this is like my 5th playthrough and simply doing it for LoLZ).

Finished with my RENEGADE through the roof! it is max. The last few Missions (Feros and killing all colonists controlled by the Thorian), Vermire and killing Wrex (something I had never done in all my playthroughs).

But, still have a few achievements that have alluded me and I have no clue what I need to do to get them.

EVERY mission I had Tali and Liara, and yet, not achievement for playing majority of Game with the Assari nor Playing majority of game with Quarrian.... ???

I mean, seriously EA/BIOWARE? If I NEVER take anyone else (except Ashley and Kaidan at the beginning because they are the only options), then how do I achieve those achievements?

It's a matter of how many missions you complete with them as your party members. To get the achievement, you've got to complete a certain number of missions with them in your party so you probably aren't doing enough side-missions.

Been playing through Shadow of Mordor GOTY Edition on PS4 recently. Finally got through all of the Weapon Legend side missions...Some of the ones for Acharn drove me up a wall. [madflame]

I've been playing Black Ops 3 on the side lately. All things considered, I think that it's better than Infinite Warfare in practically every way.

On the Continuing Advebtures of jerk Shepard, Finished ME2 with the following:

Never Woke Grunt
Turned Legion over to Cerberus
Killed Samara and took Morinth in her place
Succeeded in Killing off Kasumi, Garus, jack, Tali, Thane, & Moridin in the Suicide Mission

Only survivors were: Zaede, Morinth, Miranda, Jacob

In ME3, I have successfully "broken up" with Miranda (she cried as she walked away), continue to be the biggest Jerk in Galaxy, and found out that if you don't heal your Scares in ME2, they come back in ME3 >:D

Ah, Sheppard...you're such a jerk!

So you're going to be stuck with EDI, Liara, and Vega as your only squad mates in ME3, unless you plan to dig up Javik?

Got Javik.

And if they the only ones, then they the only ones.

Again, part of the curiousity in me in seeing how the game progresses with all my past decisions. And I must say, they did do a fine job of it. I t gives the game the 'feeling' of being a living game.

Picked up the Division. Pretty fun so far.

On PC I've currently been playing Grim Dawn. Started up a Warder (Shaman/Soldier) this time around.

On PS4 I've been playing Berserk and the Band of the Hawk as well as NieR: Automata.

I got a free copy of Hard Reset Redux from Twitch Prime, so I've been plugging away at that. It's...not great. The graphics are quite good, and the gameplay is pretty solid so far, but the story is butt. Stinky butt.

Getting back into Elder Scrolls Online.
I have so many recipes to cover now that houses are in.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #380 on:** 18 March 2017, 01:18:51 »

Well, I beat Horizon Zero Dawn. It was a lot of fun, but I ended up not bothering to complete everything on it- just started getting too repetitive and the late game just doesn't offer enough stuff- I had all the best weapons by about 1/3rd of the way through and if you know what you're doing you can get absolutely the best suit of armor even earlier, which is a total game breaker. It level caps at 50, which doesn't give you enough skill points to get everything, but there are enough quests that grant extra skill points that you can still make it. Unfortunately, some of the skills are underpowered- I never even used the Strike From Below skill once in the game so the only reason to get it was to get the Leader Strike (which I used a lot), and unless you go for it straight from the start, Scavenger Plus is pointless because you'll have no trouble finding enough parts on the machines you kill.

Still, it's a fun game and I'm quite happy with having purchased it.

Well, almost done (think I'm around 85% or so), I am enjoying it, but then, I am a completor, doing all side missions. Yes, the level Cap is...weird. You actually earn with all side mission and other things more skill points than you can spend them on. I have all skills unlocked, and am still getting skill points :-\

As to the story, very interesting, and I enjoyed it.

OK, so one of the 'side missions' I did was to assist a character in SunHold in tracking down a man who was wanted by the Sun Priests, this led to a big battle in the mountains that saw the demise of the Sun Priest. Later I was told to meet another gentlemen to assist the SunHold royal family (the mother and young King) to felle across the lake to Meridian. The led to a big battle with a Rock Spitter, more troops and ultimately a one-on-one pretty much with a turned Thunderjaw.

THEN I went into the Gaia/Zero Dawn complex under Sunhold. When I was then captured and sacrificed in the Arena, the villan went on about how I assisted the royal family to flee to meridian, and how it mattered little in the grand scheme. So, not sure if that part of the speech would have mattered or not if I did not do the side quest before entering the Gaia/Zero dawn complex.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #382 on:** 18 March 2017, 11:40:22 »

No, that part of the speech only occurs if you do those quests beforehand.

Anyone else preorder Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition?

Wrangler · « **Reply #385 on:** 09 April 2017, 21:53:34 »

I'm currently playing (slowly) Interstellar Pilot. This best be described as Elite, but a Light weight version.
My game on Droid, however you can use it on any platform if you download a emulator (I've not tried this yet).

Its basically a space simulation game where you can control a singular ship and potentially more as you increase your fortunes. It's free for the basic version, with 8 potential star systems to interact with (alternate 8 different ones in different game mode). Ships travel between systems via wormholes. There are fighters to battleships as well civilian vessels.

The game offers a player different style of game play. Instant action allows you just do a one-off fight, while other modes allows you to take your time and play in differient size space settings. WHere you can perform certain job roles from miner, explorer, trader, enforcer etc. There huge slew different type ships. The free download offers only fighter size ships with biggest being shuttle. However, 1.99 allows you access to the capital ships. Your ship has cargo holds, passenger modules you can add, tractor beam to snag debris and of course minerals from mining.

While flying the ship, the universe is 3d. Combat is pretty much straight forward, where you can circle your enemy and fire your array of weaponry. Depending on the ship you can mount from few different kinds of energy, missile and even space mines as you fly.

So far I've enjoyed myself. Its simple version of Elite essentially, but its intended to operate on a phone so it not as complicate as PC simulator. Despite being phone game, I find it remarkable how vast it is in things you can do and universe you can travel. There no real how to play file, but there is tutorials to learn how to operate the ship, but not in-dept stuff on how make money in detail.

If your looking for some easy and it's time killer. This potentially good semi-depth game, but not too deep.

I'm in the middle of Zelda for the Switch.

My goodness this game is amazing. It's like Zelda got mixed with Skyrim and they poured a whole bucket of Studio Ghibli paint all over it. It's beautiful.

The hardware is very nice too. The controller is surprisingly comfortable and the transition to portable is quick and easy. Good fit and finish. Good UI. No cloud saves (boo!).

i was watching gunhed last night...is it my imagination that all the mechs from armored core series are pretty much gunhed with extra weapons?

Wrangler · « **Reply #389 on:** 10 April 2017, 20:23:48 »

I think that could be situation where one influences the other. I remember Japan back in the day like similar machines, nod to another design. I remember how the original Gundam strongly resembles the original G1 Optimus Prime.

Or It's Gunhead design similarities is just a continence. I wish they had made a Gunhead video game! That would been awesome to play!
