But seriously, why should we scrap the first several days? There was nothing wrong with those days. We can always do this tournament again (and I'd definitely be in favor of it!)

For the reasons I mentioned, and because it's only 2-3 days? If we were two weeks in to a 30-day competition or something then yeah that'd be way too much data to scrap, but we only really got two solid days before there were problems (latecomer, missing score, etc.)

Why not just start over so everyone can enjoy a minty-fresh clean start? I'd be advocating for that even if I was in first. Besides, does anyone here seriously doubt that you won't have this in the bag under any circumstances Vigilantechewy? :D

Oh really? Because I was being super serious. So super super serious... I was ready to find out where you live so we could fight on your front lawn.

I know. You're always so super serious. It's kind of creepy. You need to take up a fun hobby like drinking or something. Maybe eat some brownies and chill.

 
Wow, we just beat the story mode in the Avengers playset on Infinity. Ridiculously short... much shorter than any single playset from the first game. Pretty upsetting.
 
Finally started TWAU today, really liking it so far.  Makes me want to go back and read all the fables.  Isn't this based on a comic book?  What's the name of it?

It rained here yesterday morning. I think that's about all the precipitation we are going to get here. Today's high temperature was supposedly 70, although it felt cooler with the wind.

I'm still not really digging Hungry Horde.  And I don't think those leaderboards are working either.  It says my high score is still 24 even though I'm pretty sure I scored in the 2000s.

 
Hard mode down, apparently that unlocked an even harder difficulty level but fuck that. Difficulty level basically spikes damage to you (looks like 1X for easy, 2X for normal, and 4X for hard) and also increases the HP of the enemies by a similar ratio. By the time I got to the last 3 bosses it became hella tedious because it took so many bullets to kill them. By the time I killed the main final boss I was down to a 1/3rd of my shells for the shotgun, was completely out of pistol bullets (I fuck ing never run out of pistol bullets) and had about 30 rounds of machine gun ammo, ridiculous.

Now just got to finish a quick run through on easy

The only leaderboard I had issues with was the one for infection because it won't count the very last level toward your score, but the game as a whole has been fairly buggy since it launched. I give it somewhere around a 5-6/10, with the biggest knocks being the bugs, the repetitive mini games, and the lack of content.

To their credit, they did get a patch out for the unobtainable trophies and black screen glitch pretty quick but the game obviously could have used a little more polish.

Yeah, definitely not a lot of content here. No idea how this game got a platinum.

 
Done with Scott PIlgrim, btw. Didn't go for 100% because I refuse to run through the game so many times just to play as different characters. Just did it once with Scott and most of a second time with a 2nd character (Knives.) One trophy was pretty hard to pull off because I just didn't give it enough thought. Ninja Somersault, specifically--you get it by doing at least 10 consecutive head stomps with the character. There's an easy place to do head stomps (against the end boss), but no matter how many times I tried it I always maxed out at 9 stomps.

Here's where you can do it (watch from about 3m 30s):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SYL74Ubcvc&t=3m20s

After going against the boss four times I realized why the player in the video could pull off the head-stomps when I never could manage it. I completely forgot to account for the character statistics; as you progress through the game you can buy items to level up your character's will, defense, strength, and speed. My speed was nowhere near maxed out so when I was doing head stomps they were happening slowly enough that the bad guy in the video would always move away before I got to ten. If your speed isn't high enough you just won't be able to head-stomp 10 times quickly enough to pull it off.

Since SP was on sale recently and I'm guessing some of you picked it up I just wanted to mention this. None of the trophy guides I saw brought this issue up so it's easy to run into the same problem I did.

Any advice on the fastest way to level up Infinity characters (1.0 version)? The advice I've seen on the guides seems to take forever.

That sucks. Especially is that's the only play set it comes with, compared to the three in the first game. The original three all lasted a good while.

Once I got all the feat stuff done, I did that for the other characters. Seemed to work well.

Are the Disney infinity/skylanders games any good on your own, or are they just good games to coop with kids?
Click to expand...
I enjoyed it (Disney 1.0), but it is a very basic 3D platforming action game. It definitely won't appeal to everyone.

They're not bad by any means. Lots of stuff to do in both. Lots of mindless button mashing in Skylanders. Some decent play in Infinity 1.0.

Good to hear. I've always been interested in checking them out, though the potential cost is a little intimidating. I'll have to check out some black Friday ads

Wow, that is pretty quick. Did you mange to finish it without the boy cussing at that final boss? :)

I will probably still pick it up on Black Friday for that price since as I mentioned above, I liked 1.0 and the Marvel characters are more in my wheelhouse.

I posted about it before, but SoM really felt poor when you were climbing and running around things because it was so simplified. You just run up walls without any real care, to the point where climbing felt more like an annoying but meaningless hurdle than a real factor in how to move from place to place. AC in general provides a much more tactile system where it really feels like climbing requires figuring out a workable path to get somewhere. Prior to this I'd only played 1, Bloodlines, and II, and Rogue does a great job of making that concept feel and control much more naturally in comparison. In the prior games I was constantly jumping from ledges on accident, running up walls I was trying to run parallel to, etc.. Rogue has me doing those things very infrequently, and when I do run up an object unintentionally it's not an inconvenience because it's handled smoothly and with little inconvenience.

I'm not sure if Rogue is any different from 3 or Black Flag in how it handles the above since I have not played them at all yet, but that Unity is worse makes me wonder if Rogue did have some significant improvements in movement.

 
But I had to do it, in order to make Tyler mad.

It's my first 100% on PSN. So appropriate. I will admit it took me a while. According to PSNProfiles, 1 year and 2 months.
