Hurlshort Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Calax, are we calling Greybriar the official Obsidianite server? I think we can safely say Defiant is our faction, those guardians are too goody two-shoesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechanicalLemon Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Just got Alpha Protocol (I know I'm late!). Granted, I'm still in the beginning but I'm really enjoying it so far. Apparently the game is even better after you leave Saudi Arabia. Can't wait to see how the game pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigranes Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Playing AP for the 7th time and it's still lots of fun, if flawed. Still seeing some stuff I've never seen before, like how Shaheed dies in the missile blast if you arrest him . Also hoping to get the Mina/Heck kills Scarlet part of the ending, no idea how to. Hell, also want to have Heck end up on the boat with you but that's very difficult, too.

Hell, also want to have Heck end up on the boat with you but that's very difficult, too. I thought getting Heck on the boat with you was as easy as having him as your handler for the final mission. It was the first ending I got with the game. I recently did my third play through and it was the first time I ever ran into Scarlet during the final section. I would always walk past the room she is in and she is right before the cave in/flooding area that prevents you from returning. I would have missed it a third time but I checked my journal and made sure to look around. I don't know what it is about the door she is behind but it is sort of off to the side in an intense section and easily missable, for me at least. I did get the Mina kills Scarlet ending, but the only thing I could say about that is it was during a no-kill stealth play through. Very cool ending though!

Tigranes Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 No. the way priorities are set up for the boat is such that in most cases, you get Mina. It is only if you have not freed MIna, killed her, or she hates you, etc, where it then checks for, for instance, who your handler is or whether you have a good relationship with another woman that has a reason to be there - e.g. you freed Scarlet, etc. Despite deliberately trying various things I got Mina most of the time. Hell, you can end up alone on the boat. I'm playing a stealth build this time again - AP is just not as much fun if you go in guns blazing - with the .ini edited so the enemies aren't as blind and deaf. Makes ghosting the whole game impossible, but certainly am minimising kills.

Lexx Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I didn't even knew you can have Heck on the boat and I played the game at least 9 times-- with always a somewhat different ending.

Labadal Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 There is a game I want to try, but I thought I would ask here before getting it. The Guild. I have always wanted to try a game like this, but I don't know how complicated the game is, or if I should start with another game that plays like it. I'm asking because GoG.com has a JoWood sale.

Tigranes Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I can't remember which, maybe it was Anno 1400 or it was the Guild, but I remember being discouraged by the sheer complexity and the interface, though I really wanted to get into it.

pmp10 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) Just finished Tropico 3. It's a fun cute little game but could really do with a bit more depth or at least better production values. Certainly worked better than the Guild for me. Edited April 28, 2011 by pmp10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorth Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Finally got around to start my first game of Fallout: New Vegas (yeah, a bit late, I know). My tech savvy explosives/energy weapon expert followed this girl around for a short while to learn basic survival in the world of FO:NV and promptly got himself killed by a pair of Geckos I got so distracted by the hilarious animations that i forgot to keep shooting at the critters. Hit it in the head with a laser pistol and it will bury its head in its "hands" (paws, claws, whatever) and go 'Ow! Ow! Ow!...' while rubbing its eyes.

Malcador Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hilarious moment in FIFA. Cutting United apart 11-1, and most of the goals were believable, then the game crashes and I have to replay the match. Should up the difficulty, hopefully the AI will learn to do something other than long ball to their god striker. Why has elegance found so little following?

The weapons changes are definitely awesome from an "I take more damage now" perspective. The world is more dangerous around human enemies and I like it. Probably not enough to carry me through another entire run of the game (or even a half-run, heh) but a very nice job of tweaking. Edited April 29, 2011 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

Labadal Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I tried The Guild and I didn't last long. Uncontrollable debts got me sent to the dungeons for the rest of my life. I only lasted three years. Too much spending and minimal profit was what ended my career as a thieving son of a thief. Maybe I should try to play as a trader first, and then try the thief route(the way I want to play). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niten_Ryu Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Just finished S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl - Really loved the ending "I want to be rich" This game has been on hiatus for years - I bought this game in 2007, but my PC back then couldn't handle the graphics with good enough framerate. I did upgrade my machine later in 2007, but World of Warcraft took most of my gaming time. So Stalker was buried deep into game boxes bag and moved to attic... untill I bought it again from the Steam holiday sales (yes, I have two copies of this game). Shame I didn't get a chance to finish this game few days earlier, as it's been 25 years (how time flies fast) since the disaster (26th april 1986). I still remember the event vididly. Glad I finished the the game after all these years. Other then early part of the game gimpy weapons, few bugs and poor voice acting, I don't have much to criticize.

None of the wish granter endings are the good endings, just fyi. You're not even meant to go there to be honest. To get one of the good endings, you have to follow a specific quest line throughout the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I just thought I'd have a quick dabble on Alpha Centauri while I had an hour or so free. Heh.
