Ragnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

 

Lost two hours I should've spent playing/sleeping because of this hilarious bug.

Dreams of the Fallen: Ego Draconis

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was definitely tempted to get Civ:BE day 1.  I'm definitely interested in feedback, though.

 

Just for you, Keyrock!

 

I've played Civ:BE for one hour, and so far it's like a more intense CiV with more atmosphere, quests and a start that certainly is more threatening and alien.

I picked Franco-Iberia, and went for a scientific and tech-y set of advantages. I landed on a planet with lots of islands and huge insects with chitin and miasma and horrific swamps everywhere.

I've managed to launch a solar satellite, kill some wolf beetles and search some resource pods.

The music and the sound effects are wonderful - it's all very sci-fi. I'd say the UI has been improved. I've also made good use of the AMD Mantle feature, so the game's loading quickly (I hardly notice it) on a massive map with maxed settings in 1980x1020 or whatever the resolution is called.

 

It's pure joy and excitement so far.

Only the best emote

Waiting for my turn. Pfft, 2 Phalanxes. Chances are that maybe one of them knows other tactics than spamming the Balanced style combo and hoping the other player walks into it.

Gotta love Bayonetta with her utterly impossible proportions.  Look at how long her legs are!  

 

So wrong, yet so right.

 

Gotta love the Luigi plushie. 

 

I didn't manage to get a screenshot of it yet, but she's got fire flowers embroidered on the ankles of her stockings.  Also, instead of halos, enemies drop coins, and it even makes the Super Mario coin collecting sound when you pick them up.  Gotta love the attention to detail.

Started playing Borderlands 2 -- the criticism I've read is unfounded. Bigger, better, smoother. The new classes are especially great, loving Maya's Phaselock. In the last BL 1 DLC the main quest hub was a train station, but the train there wasn't moving, it was added while you were away, and removed the same way. Now in BL 2 we got moving trains, and as an obsessively curious explorer, the first thing that came to my mind: will it kill you if you stand in its way?
 


Of course it will, it's Borderlands. Bonus points for including a quest goal with "badonkadonks". I learned that word from this video (I'm a fan of Hugh Laurie).

The only thing I hate about BL2 is the interface. Otherwise, it is a great game.

Misogy-tastic!

Mmm, serpent lunch!

 

D'aww, so adorable!

Just chillin'

 

It's a nice touch that you can raise or lower the face shield on the Varia Suit.

Whatcha gonna do, brother, when Cerezamania runs wild on you!?

 

This reminded me of when I visited the Efteling

 

 

Bally Dancer Bayonetta 

 

Fighting a Lumen Sage while his summon fights mine in the background

 

Oh, and you get to play a brief round of rock em sock em robots as the summons, because why wouldn't you?

Am I the only one who can't see **** in the Bayonetta 2 screenshots? It looks like if my dog ate a box of crayons and vomited on my screen.

I feel like I would need to do drugs to really appreciate Bayonetta.

I think you can ignore everything in those screenshots except the squirrel and have a thorough understanding of why Keyrock is unreservedly positive about the game.

It's from Japan so..

It's less uptight and more fun and colorful.

Woohoo, my first chapter platinum!  

I'm pretty proud of myself, even if it was an easy chapter.  I thought those 2 silvers I got toward the end would sink my overall score to a gold, but the 3 pure platinums I got earlier were enough to raise my overall score to platinum status.  Now I need to be able to do that in the later chapters.  Baby steps.

Keyrock's Bayonetta 2 posts are giving me wii(u)-envy

It was never meant for gaijin eyes

 

Had the same thought when playing the beginning. Flashing lights and stuff all around, couldn't see anything, didn't even realized the game was going already. Will seriously need to get used to that first.

 

On the other side, I had a similar feeling when playing Unreal Tournament 3 for the very first time. There had been so many objects and stuff in the maps, it was so hard to look at anything important, because my brain wasn't used to all the details on screen.

The games, both of them, basically border on sensory overload during combat all the time, so you either get used to it (I did) or the game will definitely give you problems.  I've sort of developed a sixth sense to the game, to the point that I can always "feel" where my character is and what she's doing, even though there are many times that I can't particularly see it very well because so much **** is happening on the screen all at the same time.  I imagine that this is how Jedi will train in the future to master The Force.  Platinum is just ahead of their time.
