Yeah Gator, I think we all mentioned SoM and Ass Creed but no one went on a Therm level diatribe about it. It was a lot of fun at first, but I actually got bored of it after a while and just wanted to finish it. Then it just...ended. Oh that ending. You will love it!
I am pretty sure I already saw the ending. I happened to check out Tyler's stream on a weekend and it was the ending of the game he was at as soon as I clicked on it. Just a bunch of the annoying QTE things is all I really remember.

 
I'm still wondering if that and the birthday code stack. Use both plus the b2g1 that's still running... :D/

Though honestly at this point I'm coming up empty on PS3 games I want but haven't bought. There'd be more for Vita if those games were released physically, but the selection is pretty damn limiting...I guess I might look into that One Piece game, though that looks like something that might be better on another system. OTOH I do want to move away from PS3 so Vita is probably the better choice due to that.

Otherwise I guess I should look into Danganronpa, Hyperdimension neptunia Re;Birth1, and Senran Kagura. Maybe Deception IV. Thoughts on these?
FYI, the B2G1 officially ends today, so if it stacks with the 30%, today's the only day you can do it.

One Piece felt perfect on Vita IMO. Danganronpa is among the best the Vita has to offer, and while I have Re;Birth1 and Senran Kagura in my backlog, I'm eager to play them eventually. I have no interest in Deception IV, so I can't help you there.

Yep. QTE ending that basically comes out of nowhere. I will say that the story ending, though absolutely terrible and abrupt, wasn't much of a letdown. There really wasn't any story to the game so a proper sense of closure wasn't really necessary. Same is true of the end boss fights--SoM has absolutely no value as a fighter if you're looking at combat with one enemy at a time. It's just not balanced for that, and none of the enemies can stand alone at all. The combat is entirely focused on dealing with mobs of enemies and there's no way they really could have made an end boss feel worthwhile with that approach, I think. So yeah...the ending, poor as it was, fit the story and gameplay about as well as they could have for what lead into the finale.

I preferred the penultimate boss, honestly, as it required stealth.

Not really. Just running above him and then stealth-bombing from above. It was easier to find and get to him with that approach anyway. Both bosses felt like a waste of time. The Black Captain actually was better than both, though he was nothing more than a damage sponge with some orc support.

Man, I started Far Cry last night and I am loving it!!  So many good games this year, and funny how most of them are third party!

Got the shit scared out of me this morning playing, had no idea there were snakes in the game.  Was running through some weeds to an outpost and the snake jumped out a bit me.  Woke my wife up from upstairs....

I'll definitely be working for the plat in Far Cry, seems very enjoyable and not too much of a grind.

 
got my best buy stash yesterday, pretty excited to try out rocksmith (plus I was able to sell my ps3 copy for a $15 profit which helps ease the pain of the ps4 upgrade). to make things stranger, my wife asked if she could play it too. maybe we'll end up doing some couples streaming in a non-velo way. she's way funnier than I am.
 
endergeek - If you're considering platting Project Diva F 2nd, be advised that you're going to have to spend a lot of time in the Diva Rooms. I've been doing what I can between playing the Rhythm Game, and now that I'm nearly done with that (just one more song to "grind" and one performer to get to 50 songs played for unlockables), it still looks like I'll be in those rooms for quite some time to get to 78 requests.

Probably enough to keep me from getting the plat then. I need to finish running through the songs to see if I even want to hold on to the game

 
Did anyone happen to listen to the Tribute Games podcast where they talk about why Mercenary Kings is not out on Vita yet?  I am trying to listen to it now, but would rather just know what they said about that than listening to all the other junk they are talking about.

 
wow has there been any discussion on last nights South Park?  All about game streaming and Pewdiepie specifically.... pretty hilarious

 
It doesn't show any deaths but I assume someone died? That sucks. Good luck on your next attempt.
So I dont really follow you guys much when you talk about Destiny. If you went for a flawless raid, what didnt go flawlessly? I dont see any deaths in that screen shot. So how did you not do whatever it is you thought you were going to do?
I'm wondering too. Must have been someone else involved that isn't in the picture.
0 deaths and 1 death show the same in stats.

So if you have 115 kills and 0 deaths, 115/0, technically that is incalculable but they display it as a K/D of 115.0.

If you have 115 kills and 1 death, 115/1, then obviously that is still a K/D of 115.0.

So what is the purpose of the screen shot if it doesnt show the death anywhere? It just tells you how many kills each person got but I see nothing about what they won or lost.

I had been stupidly reading the big 0 death number at the top as the team and realize now that its just Jay's death total.

Basically what tyler said. One dude died at the very end, probably 30-60 seconds from finishing it. We made it though most of the raid a couple times without any issues, but the tough part is the platforming/jumping section near the end. The walls are apparently made of rubber so you just bounce off them completely if you bump them from the wrong angle.

What I am saying is, I was hoping to see a big red FAIL somewhere on the screen shot with who caused the failure. That would be awesome.

Wait, platforming?!? With rubber walls? What. The fuck. That would piss me off. First Person platforming is the worst. Especially in a shooter.

Pretty much the purpose of the screenshot is to show that Jay wasn't the one who died.

 
I feel like I'm swimming in games right now and I haven't played much of anything the past few days. I think I'm having withdrawals. Gotta stop looking at deals, guessing the next few weeks of PSN sales probably won't help much though. :)

There is one death. Having one death doesn't affect your KDR.
 
So when you upgrade your exotic, apparently it will reset your nodes, but the starting Attack becomes 300. So really all you're losing is s couple of the perks, but the weapon's strength essentially stays the same.

To avoid making anyone else struggle through listening to French Canadians speaking English for around 20 minutes like I did, they claim it will not be out this year (this was mid Nov when they recorded it). Apparently, there is issues with running C# code on the Vita and they are stuck at that technical hurdle currently. They referened other people are working on the issue as well. I am not sure if that meant other devs collaborating with them that also are trying to get C# games to run on Vita or Sony trying to help them get past the problem.

 
that Lords of Shadow 2 trophy card looks pretty sweet.  I can't wait to fire up the first one (if it ever gets here; ordered saturday and still no ship).  May have to do the back and forth w/ that and Just Cause 2.

Did you know you can only upgrade certain exotics each week? That's really dumb.
 
On a whim, I checked Kmart.com again for Ground Zeroes and found that the page is back up. I ordered a $4.99 copy for in-store pickup. :D/

Yeah it is sweet. And LoS1 was a great game when I played it. LoS2 is no where near as good even the graphics seem to be a step down but that may be because I am playing PS4 games now.

And just because. JUST CAUSE 2!

 
Question about Shadow of Mordor. How gory is it and is there an option to turn off (or at least down), the extreme gore (if it has that)? My son doesn't like lots of gore and I see it's rated M for extreme gore or something.

 
The Orioles losing Markakis is like the worst thing ever. I'm worried we're in for another 17 years or whatever of shitty baseball now. fuck

IIRC, it mostly just features decapitations, and I don't think you can turn them off. Decapitating orcs/Uruks is part of the fun anyway.

I know he's a good player, but it shouldn't be hard for them to replace his production. It's mainly his presence that will be missed. His last two years haven't been his best either. I'm hoping he can return to form here in Atlanta.

None in stock within 50 miles of me. Same as with Knack. Kmart and Sears fucking suck asshole.

Maybe I'll for real go to best buy and try to get a price match on both of them today.

Thanks for the info on Mordor. I'll have to think about what to do now…. I can always make it a game for me.

What about Nelson Cruz? I thought that was a big loss too. I wish the Brewers hadn't traded him away.
Cruz was a loss, but his career is on the downswing. We could deal with that a lot more than losing Markakis who's value is quite a bit more than his batting average. I guess we wait and see who they get to replace Markakis.

LOL dude hit 40 homers last year. Played in 159 games. What part is on the downswing? I know he's 34, but he should still provide good power for at least another 3-4 years.

 
Dont worry Chewy, you wont have to worry about the Rays anymore at least.  They are pretty much gutted now.   And they have Raul Ibanez on their short list for new manager!  How the hell could that be possible?  He doesnt have any coaching experience as he was playing just last year! 

Thankfully I have never been a big baseball fan so this will be one less team and sport I have to follow.  The Rays are setting themselves up to move I think.

The Rays will be back. Good scouting and player development means they are always a threat.

I dont know, from what little I hear on sports talk they seem to think there isnt that much coming up in the minors now. The Rays never had any bats and still dont it seems. And hitting on all these pitchers cant go on forever.

 
The only thing I can add to the Destiny conversation is that I saw Tyler's stream. I then see Matt mention 0 deaths in the text chat so I congratulate everybody on the Victory and Platinum. I didn't know about the 1 death and the reaction was not good.

I'm sure nobody was expecting me to salt in the wounds which was unintentional.

Oh it won't be a quick turnaround, but they'll be back. I admire the way they find a way to field a good team in a stacked division with a minuscule payroll.

His first half of the year was awesome, but his second half wasn't that impressive. But sure he was a big deal. I just think he's aging and having to have a long contract for him wouldn't pay off in the long run.
