Do you know what the best way is to get past level 20?

I don't think there is one, you just have to keep playing. The light levels on your gear go up as you upgrade them so a full set of fully upgraded blue gear should get you to level 22. Beyond that you might want to focus solely on PvP or PvE to earn vanguard/crucible marks and reputation.

Also, Ki, Majora's Mask is incredible. It's definitely my favorite Zelda game and easily trumps it's predecessor in every single way IMO.

What is there to dislike about Wind Waker??

I should give this game a shot cause the Zelda games are the only good rpgs the N64 had.

i also got a N64 emulator but i haven't used it cause the N64 probably has one of the worst and most limited game library in any console especially in their rpg section.
Most of the games are clunky FPS or blocky platformers but the Zelda games are one of the few games that had better graphics and decent gameplay.

Decided to give it another go now that they ditched the auction house and wouldn't you know it the game is great. I'm finally getting loot drops I can use and while I can't comment on fixes to skill trees, my wizard is kicking some serious ass. They're basically a combination of Storm and Cyclops from X-Men. I wish I could host a game on my own computer though cause I've been getting some pretty bad lag spikes at pretty regular intervals. Despite all that I am going to play through to the end and maybe even pick up the expansion when it goes on sale.

Finally out of the beta and wouldn't you know it, it actually lives up to the hype. It's been encouraging that the more high profile Kickstarter games are coming out in a polished and playable state. That said there are still some bugs, but it's nothing compared to some of the bugs that come out in big AAA games. The game is pretty dense while not being overly huge and I've always preferred that type of RPG compared to games like Skyrim which feel like a cookie sheet, expansive but not very deep. Wasteland 2 is more like a casserole dish, if that makes any sense. I do wish they kept the stealth aspect of it though, but I can understand how it would be a hard thing to balance. Definitely worth picking up if you're an old school CRPG fan.

I know I have discussed this on this forum before but Wind Waker is easily my least favorite Zelda game:

Spoiler for Reasons:

I did like how long it was, ignoring the travel time, and that it is easily one of the most difficult 3-D zelda games.

Black Francis · 09-26-2014, 04:40 PM

i liked traveling on the boat and how the weather system makes the world feel alive but i admit the charm wears off eventually especially when back tracking. other than that the other things you mentioned were a nuisance at times but overall it didn't ruin the game experience for me.

i don't remember every detail about the game cause i played it back in the game cube but i remember really liking the game and passing it.
it wasn't that difficult as i recall it was more tedious than anything but overall not that hard.

the most difficult Zelda has to be the 2nd one, that's the only Zelda game that can make me rage quit and by comparison it makes all the other Zelda games ive played a breeze

Borderlands 2

Finally got around to finishing the download for this that I got as a gift through Steam. I'm going to be putting so many hours into this game since I loved the hell out of the first one. I know i'm late to the party with these games, but better late than never.

Got it from gog.com just the other day, unfortunately my graphics cadr finally died and that integrated intel "hd something" won't give me more than ~10 fps here...
So I'm waiting, waiting for that paycheck and I'll let you all know my irrelevant opinion about the game

Sorry about your card dying, what are you planning on replacing it with? I've heard good things about the GTX 750 Ti being a decent budget card. I'm running with a 770 right now and I'm getting a solid 60 FPS which is far better than the 30-50 I was getting while it was still in beta. That said though, I've heard nothing but good things about the 970, and at $350 USD it's an absolute steal.

Parting words of wisdom for when you eventually get into the game:

1) Give each member on your team different guns, otherwise you will run out of ammo.
2) Always have a designated medic/surgeon
3) Don't make said medic/surgeon responsible for opening crates/gates because they are booby trapped and they will die.
4) Put points into toaster repair, you will get some amazing shit.
5) Shotguns are not an ideal weapon as you will more often than not hit a teammate with friendly fire. Sniper rifles are also a hard weapon to master as enemies will inevitably run up to you and throw your aim way off. Also ammo is crazy scarce for sniper rifles so you will run out.

Honestly, this is the only real complaint I had about that game. It took way too long to get all those pieces. If I try to somehow take the nostalgia factor away from OoT, it would easily be my favourite Zelda game.
