Aren't you in the Oddworld Forums Steam group?

I remembered I had Final Fantasy VI on my Wii, so I've been playing that. It's fun, but I don't know how to get to the other continent without my ship. Kinda confused about that.

Where exactly are you?

Yes.

Well you can't have STM, he's already made commitments.

I was at the part shortly after the War ends, when Kefka is in jail. I'm now looking for the Espers that have been running around causing shenanigans, as Terra and that thief guy (whose name escapes me as I named him after my cat). I'm not quite sure where to go now; this game can be very vague on objective details... very vague.

But it wouldn't be FF if it wasn't like that, I guess.

Have you been to a town called Thamas yet and met Stragos and Relm? If not, that's your next destination. You go to Albrook and get a ship with General Leo to the place where it is.

Well who will play with me? I'm sick of playing with myself.

MeechMunchie · #68 09-03-2012, 11:16 PM

It's funny because it's true.

Mac Sirloin · #69 09-04-2012, 06:18 AM

I'm playing the Donkey Kong Country remakes for the Gameboy Advance. For some reason DKC3's music is completely different from the SNES release, but it was done by the same guy at Rare. I played these more than anything else when I was a kid.

Nepsotic · #70 09-04-2012, 10:58 AM

Well, I finished the Amnesia DLC! (Still haven't finished the actual game, yet) Justine's voice is so hot, it's like pure sex.

Varrok · #71 09-04-2012, 11:17 AM

You've already experienced pure sex? Wow, man

MeechMunchie · #72 09-04-2012, 12:21 PM

Pure in the sense that there was only one person.

OANST · #73 09-04-2012, 12:42 PM

Still playing Darksiders 2. Jesus Christ but the City of the Dead dungeon was immense. I've played entire games that were shorter than that dungeon. And I don't mean flash games. I wasn't that crazy about the Earth dungeon, but it made up for it with the next two. There were a couple of good head scratcher puzzles in the final two dungeons as well, which was nice. I'm about at the end of the game now, but I'm going to go search out the things that I know I missed before completing it.

That's funny, I've been playing the original three on my Wii recently. I forgot how damn challenging these games can be. Especially the second and third. Still, such classic games. I could play them all the time.

In my pre-university boredom, I've started replaying Tony Hawk's Underground 2. I loved this game when I was younger; it's scary to think that it's almost eight years old. I blitzed through the story mode in a couple of days on the hardest setting, but I fully expected to. I was pretty competent when I first played it, and my manual dexterity has only improved in the seven or so years since I last played it. I now have the classic mode to look forward to, which I never completed when I was younger.

I remember getting the game when I was a lot younger on the original Xbox, I loved every bit of it. I also thought the hardest difficulty was actually pretty easy but when I tried it out a few years ago, I just couldn't beat the last mission in Skatopia.

Also, that classic mode had me raging for many days, it's really hard.

The best thing about the game though was unlocking all those secret characters (with cheats of course!). Oh yeah and the level editor was beast and me and my friend spent many, many hours playing with that thing.

Crashpunk · #77 09-05-2012, 11:13 AM

I've played a bit of Metal Gear Solid 3 and I'm having trouble being... stealthy. I just keep running in and killing everyone cause hiding doesn't seem to work for me. I've also ran out of bullets for my tranquillizer gun so now all I have is a knife. Not the greatest start but I'm going to continue cause I remember how much I love MGS2.

Oh and I've also played Wii Sports and Wii Sports resort with friends on random occasions. It's actually still fun, partially the bike racing on Resort and Boxing on Wii Sports.

Don't get me started on those rail track stages. My god...

Stealth in MGS3 is a bit different experience from the previous games in series - You can try caring more about the camouflage, use first person view to search for possible enemies, and crawl more

Wings of Fire · #79 09-05-2012, 11:41 AM

In other words it actually requires skill.

Bullet Magnet · #80 09-05-2012, 12:01 PM

Use a bush instead of a box in outdoor segments.

Oh man, those are horrible. I mean, they're fun, and engaging, and well designed, but... god damn do they take ages to finally complete.

Though, when you finally do complete them, the feeling of gratification is awesome. Fuck you, Donkey Kong Country!

I hope you enjoy the ride, because there will not be a Darksiders 3. I enjoy it, but they could have trimmed a lot of fat from the game.

OANST · #83 09-07-2012, 09:29 AM

Why do you say there won't be a third? They said that if the game sold well they would make a third. The game sold well.

Daxter King · #84 09-07-2012, 09:32 AM

If I recall correctly they wanted it to do around 2 million, it did 247K in the US in its first month, pretty sure thats under the first Darksiders.

OANST · #85 09-07-2012, 09:35 AM

That can't be right. Darksiders 2 was the highest selling game of August, and Super Mario Bros. 2 sold that in it's first week. That number likely applies to only one platform.

Edit: Apparently that number is right.

Edit Edit: Still, though. That means that the game made about 14 Million in August alone. That and the fact that it was number one cannot go unnoticed. I think we'll have to wait and see if it continues to sell well before completely writing it off.

JennyGenesis · #86 09-08-2012, 03:23 AM

I picked up LA Noire The Complete Edition yesterday, I've been enjoying it so far even though I am only on the third case, I'm surprised how deep the game is.

My question is though, do I ever get the chance just to explore LA? Like GTA? It seems that I am constantly on a mission with my partner tagging along with me, I want the chance to explore the environment.

Dynamithix · #87 09-08-2012, 04:35 AM

Yeah, the free roam is called The Streets of LA, you unlock it when you complete a desk of cases and then you can choose it in the main menu.

Crashpunk · #88 09-09-2012, 02:12 AM

So after my horrible start at Metal Gear Solid 3, I played literally a whole day more of it and my god, it's great. I love the survival aspect of the game when you have to hunt for food to regain stamina and the camouflage really is helpful. The guns are brilliant like expected. I try to be all hidden by using the tranquillizer gun but most of the time I feel confident just to run around with a shotgun killing everything in my path.

I had a huge amount of problems beating The Fear because it's so difficult to actually locate him. Because of that, it's one of the hardest boss fights I've ever come across. The Pain was pretty easy, I found that whole cave section really cool and how you have to use the cigar to light up the way.

Right now I'm currently at The End boss fight (The Sniper one). What is it with piss taking boss fights in this game? Seriously, anyone know a affective way to beat him?

You can cheat defeat him by putting the clock forward by one week.

Of course that's lame, and the only proper way to beat him is by draining his stamina so you get that tasty tranq rifle.

Varrok · #90 09-09-2012, 08:58 AM

The first time I played MGS3 I killed The End in a method described by WoF. I felt like such a dick afterwards
