Yes good i like this team.

My fire team is:

Arcanine, Ninetales (surprise eh?!), Pyroar, Houndoom, Rapidash, Delphox. The Elite 4 actually kind of blows tbh

Been bouncing around between these three games over the weekend.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Easily one of the prettiest games I've ever seen and finally something that I haven't been able to max out. The writing is solid and the combat is a pretty good blend of button mashing (or mouse clicking) and tactics with enough complexity to keep you on your feet.

Contrast

An interesting blend of 3D adventure and 2D puzzle platforming with a 1920's film noir/ jazz setting with some amazing art deco architecture. Stylistically it looks like the films Coraline, The City of Lost Children, and Dark City were all mashed up and seeing as how I love all of them I'm quite a fan of the style. I wish there was some anti aliasing to help round out some of the edges, but overall there's a lot of color and is quite aesthetically pleasing. Puzzle wise it's pretty basic, and definitely won't tax your brain too much but is pretty cool how you manipulate objects in a 3D space to create shadows to gain access to new areas in the 2D plane. It's one of the PS4 launch titles and is available on Steam so I'd recommend you check it out.

A Walk in the Dark

It's basically Limbo but you're a cat. There's some really pretty piano music and the game is reasonably priced but beyond that it really just is Limbo but you're a cat.

Limbo as a cat sounds ace.

Keep meaning to pick up Witcher 2 but haven't played the first and that puts me off.

The only thing I don't like about Contrast is that there are certain spots where you should be able to merge into the shadow and stay there but you get popped out because of a weird angle. Other than that, I'm enjoying it so far.

Resogun is interesting but I only can play it in short bursts before I start to get highly annoyed.

The Batlord · 11-18-2013, 03:35 PM

Playing Dragon Age:Origins and I named myself The Batlord specifically so that I could name my dog The Batdog.

You really don't have to play the first game to be able to get into the second. It might make the lore make a little more sense, but honestly I've gotten by pretty well so far without it. Plus you can always just read the Wiki. As for combat, apparently it underwent a huge overhaul to streamline it (not dissimilar to Dragon Age 2 ironically) so you can get through by mashing the attack button while occasionally remembering to block and dodge out of the way. Definitely worth the $20 it currently costs on Steam.

Yeah I had that happen to me a couple of times which got annoying.

Star Wars: The Old Republic

I took a bit of a break from this game but I recently got back into it full swing. When I first started playing, I started as a Jedi knight, but than I got really bored so I started a new character as a Sith warrior, and I am having way more fun than before. I love all the fighting and action with Sith. Being a Jedi is so boring for me for some reason.

So, La Mulana started pissing me off because it's ass-balls hard, confusing, completely unforgiving, and doesn't give you any clues as to what you're supposed to do to advance. Seriously, **** that **** yo. So I browse through stream, lookin for something that seems casual but fun and bought this:

It should be called Volgarr the Wimpy Ass Bitch Who Can't Jump for **** and Dies When Kicked in the Tits by Lizard Men. This game is hard. It's taken me about 20 tries just to get to the first checkpoint.
