Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic (1 year ago)
Yeah Athiss and Hammer station were average. The level 30 2-parter flashpoints (Taral V Rep / Boarding Party Imp) and (Maelstrom Prison Rep / Foundry Imp) were MUCH better and had a lot more story to them then the rest. Quite a few little treats in them too for those that played KOTOR.

Re: Mass Effect 3 (1 year ago)
Considering all the pre-order DLC was released later on as DLC packs later on i am not going to bother shifting my pre-order from EB to Game for their better pre-order bonus

So i get to play the Early Access and then cut off from the 20th-Whenever Amazon gets it here. Quite impressed they have managed to get that thread up to 180 pages in 2 and a half hours.
Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic (1 year ago)
Anyone know if GTC are region restricted? I would imagine not. Reason i ask is that Zavvi have them quite cheap for ~ $22 for 60 days. It works out at about $12 cheaper for 6 months of GTC then it would be getting the 6 month sub.
Well i do hope the anime reaches about the same arc that the game will reach before then. The only hope of that happening though is that they stop putting season filler arcs between 3-4 story episodes
Re: Assassin's Creed Revelations (1 year ago)
Oh no doubt - i am not saying that it is going to exclude those time periods or anything simply because they showed up in Legacy or The Fall. In fact i wouldn't be surprised if it did end up in Russia as The Fall was very well received from what i have heard and Daniel Cross did come up in revelations. Personally though i would like to see Shao-Jun's story wrapped up from Embers and follow her into China.
Thats what i love about the potential for the AC games. Everything, every time period is possible for them to go to with the convenience of using the animus as a plot mechanism to take them there.

Re: Assassin's Creed Revelations (1 year ago)
Its funny because they have already covered most of those conflicts already through other media - Project Legacy, Comics etc...
Re: PALGN users game of the year (1 year ago)
My top 5
1. Batman: Arkham City
Personally can't believe that this hasn't appeared in this thread yet. I LOVED this game - it was so close to being perfect. The story i thought was solid enough, it was longer with more things to do and explore and the voice acting blew me away. Can't wait for Arkham 3.
2. Assassin's Creed Revelations
Echoing what was said above - i think this was the "dullest" of Ezio's trilogy but i think it had the strongest story after you got past Sequence 3. I think the MP is improved enough to make me alternate between it and BF3 for my MP needs. However not enough was changed for me to put it above the Dark Knight.
3. L.A. Noire
TBH i hadn't really followed this game AT ALL until like 3-4 days till launch as i wasn't really interested. But the more i found out about it the more i was intrigued and eventually felt the need to pre-order it 2 days before launch. Once i started playing i never looked back. Unlike others who i know have played the game i enjoyed both the first and back half of the story although i did enjoy the ending much. If a game has such a pronounced effect on you that it makes you look at other games and look at their facial animations and it makes you wince - then you know you have played something special.
4. Portal 2
Its Portal...2. Enough Said.
5. Crysis 2
I think this game was underrated. While i wanted to see Nomad's story continued and felt that this was deliberately distancing itself from the first game so as not to alienate console users (which i was quite angry about at the time) i felt overall it had quite a good tale to tell. While it wasn't the graphical system changer that Crysis 1 was that forced every man and their dog to upgrade to play it, i thought it looked great even without the DX11 features.
Honourable Mentions:
From Dust
I still haven't gone back and finished the last 2-3 levels of this but i really enjoyed this game. It was a very interesting take on the god genre.
Deus Ex: HR
Haven't finished it which is why it isn't higher (due to thesis) but from what i played of it so far it at the very least deserves an honourable mention.
(Apologies to my copies of Forza 4, Skyrim and Witcher 2 - i will see you December 25th!).
Who knows though... Come December 20th i might be shaking up my list to include The Old Republic if the beta was anything to go by.

Re: Batman: Arkham City (56k big pics) (1 year ago)
A quick run through of just the main AA storyline should only take 4-5 hours without any real attempt at riddler trophies and side quests.
However i wouldn't say it is essential - but there are references to it that that you might have trouble picking up on as it dosen't offer any lead in from the other game.

Re: Assassin's Creed Revelations (1 year ago)
@ Benza - You might want to download the Da Vinci Disappearance on Brotherhood if you haven't already as that explains that spoiler you mentioned. If you have then what was revealed in that DLC would give you this in google maps.

Basically without spoiling - that is the spot at the end of revelations and what it is supposed to look like 2012.

Re: Assassin's Creed Revelations (1 year ago)
Just finished it then. Even though the game is called revelations and it did indeed reveal some pivotal plot points you feel a little cheated as every reveal seemed to raise another question. The ending i felt was very well done emotionally for Altair and Ezio but felt lacking in terms of desmond and TWCB somehow even though they were the focus. The cinematics i thought though were well done.
After finishing up i felt there could have been more things to do with desmond, even though the next game seems to be leaning on a focus with him and i was disappointed about how little 16 there was in the game.
As was said above - the game did feel a little buggier then normal and a little shorter in terms of side quests but i thought the story was as good as AC2 and the main story arc seemed to go on for longer then in Brotherhood and seemed more relevant and had a greater sense of urgency and danger to it which i thought Brotherhood lacked.
Overall while it was "shorter" (I am at 70% total sync and have sunk about 25-30 hours into it) then Brotherhood i think it was better.

Re: Assassin's Creed Revelations (1 year ago)
Actually one thing i have found pretty jarring is that they look like they have completely changed Desmond's face. Is that just me or does he now look like a completely different person? Or is that just a result of where he is (without spoiling).

Re: Assassin's Creed Revelations (1 year ago)
Picked up the animus edition as well today and i also thought EB squashed it with it being so skewed. Had a quick flick through the encyclopaedia and am very impressed with the quality of it. Will definitely sit down and read it after finishing revelations because apparently there are some spoilers in it.
After finishing the first 2 chapters i feel weird... It dosen't really seem like an AC game so far although i did enjoy the den defence meta game. Hopefully it picks up as it goes along like the others. Although i have to say i picked up the multiplayer by playing a round to see if it has improved and by George this may pull me away from BF3 for a few months if i let it take hold. The amount of content and customisation options alone, along with much better gameplay mechanics and overall feel make me feel that this may last longer then brotherhood lasted me.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Review (1 year ago)
GAHHH my collectors edition better come today in the post... Good review although i think when you listed the villians you meant Talia Al Gaul - rather then the other villian you mentioned... AH - i hope that wasn't a spoiler in the review 
But no - great review, well written and i am glad this game got the score i feel from reading about it so far it deserved.

Re: Battlefield 3 (1 year ago)
I think the 360 with the HD pack looks quite good actually considering it is running on ancient hardware. The non-HD pack looks butt ugly though - if you didn't have a HDD on your 360 you would be getting one just so you could install the pack.
Luckily im getting it on the PC

You could just play through the game you are playing now and play New Game + with the catwoman content. Otherwise, yes a restart would be in order.

Getting kind of annoyed at this limited edition. I could pre-order at EB, but I don't want to pay $110 and I don't know if they'll match prices. I don't know if Big W will sell the limited edition on launch, and if I buy online I won't get it until after the weekend. Might just have to end up paying $110, don't think I've ever paid that much for a game :\

In other news, Batman Arkham City Collectors Edition is going to be delayed for a couple of days in Australia as far as i know, but pre-orderers are well compensated (this is inside info so i can't get into any specifics, but retailers should have been in touch with people with pre-orders by monday about it, so it should be all over the internets soon). Standard edition game is still on track for being released on the 19th though

They haven't said if that edition is going to go on sale or is limited to a competition yet but if it was on sale then i would be all over it.

Re: Mass Effect 3 (1 year ago)
Said it once when it was rumour and will say it again now that it is fact. EVERYONE rubbished brotherhood for having an MP mode when it was supposed to be strictly an "Single-player" only experience forever according to the community. Well the MP didn't last long but it didn't suck and it certainly didn't detract from the main game.
If ubisoft can do it so can bioware.
