I think I may have finished the Dark Brotherhood questline. In that a big event happened where the poo hits the spinning blades, and then I finished up the main contract. I got an achievement, and then was given what seems to be a generic contract, so I suspect that’s it for story. It was great though. After dealing with all that, I went and got married. Since I’d proposed* to $hlmun people, I didn’t know which I’d marry, but …
It’s about time I actually completed something! Skyrim has sucked most of my time, and although I’ve been playing other games, none of them are that near the end. This game was pretty short though, if a bit difficult. I wrote this about it last time I completed it (back on an actual Game Boy!): Oh my! Only four levels? Just as well as if there were any more, things may have been broken on purpose. Level 3 is the …
Mutant Mudds (3DS) It’s really hard now. I’ve done all 16 main levels, some of the secret levels, and collected all of the diamonds so far. I’ve done the first three Moon levels, but the last one? Nightmare. It’s so difficult! It doesn’t help that you can only have one power up at a time, and you really need all three to make it through. I’ve swapped around which ones I’ve been using, but it’s too hard with any of …
I’m mainly doing stuff for the Dark Brotherhood at the moment. I was going to finish the Thieves Guild questline, but then realised that an item I had from that – a skeleton key – was far too awesome. It’s an unbreakable lockpick! I ain’t giving that back (which is what the final task for that particular questline seems to imply I need to do) just yet! As well as murdering seemingly random people for apparently no (or rubbish) reason, …
This is AWESOME. It’s like Professor Layton only with the puzzles mainly replaced with rhythm action games! Like, I don’t know, Ouendan Adventure or something. They’re fun rhythm action games too, with some catchy music. And a lovely graphical style. I’ve managed to find the crown, break into the police station, and get out again, so far. I’ve had a couple of run-ins with Napoleon (which is bound to turn out not to be him, surely?), and rescued a girl …
Recently on Skyrim! Another dragon slain! Lexicon returned! Dravin’s Bow given back to Dravin! Dude Where’s My Car questline completed! The Mind of Pelagius III entered and finished! And more! Amazed I’ve actually finished off more quests than I started. Just about. The Pelagius III quest in particular was standout – bringing back the dodgy Sheogorath bloke from The Shivering Isles expansion from Oblivion. He was awesome. I’m level 22 now too, if you’re keeping tabs.
I’ve been looking forward to this for a while now, and leapt on it the very second it was available to download. I wasn’t disappointed – it’s excellent! Of course, if you don’t like difficult, old fashioned platform games, you won’t like it. But I do. Oh is it hard though! I’ve cleared the 16 available levels, but since I haven’t collected every diamond I’m not able to progress any further yet. 16 levels may not seem like a lot, …
Final Fantasy games don’t interest me much any more. They lost their way back at Final Fantasy VII, and most spinoffs like the Crystal Chronicles games have left me indifferent. Aside from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, of course. And that Chocobo game for the DS. Er, anyway. As a result, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this Guitar Hero-ish screen tapping rhythm game featuring music from Final Fantasy games, none of which I’m likely to recognise. Thankfully, it was …
I have never played a Kingdom Hearts game. I recently bought the DS Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (worst title ever) game, but haven’t played it. After the DDD demo, I don’t think I’ll bother. It was terrible. The voice acting, the controls, the stupid Jet Set Radio style rail grinding, the camera which insists on pointing in exactly the wrong way at all times, and the seemingly complex fighting system (that appeared to be a bit like that in Eternal …
Yes! It’s another lazy game-play-roundup-post! You know you love them! Oh, and before I get into that, a little bit of housekeeping: I’ve added my Raptr feed to the sidebar. Exciting! Skyrim (360) Somehow I got sidetracked from what I presume is the last quest in the Thieves Guild plotline (it’s easy to do – I talk to everyone and most people give me quests, so I’ve over 60 open now) and ended up finding some more dwarven ruins en-route …
Played this a LOT over the weekend. And don’t feel like I’ve actually progressed much at all. Sure, I’ve got the Eyes of Whatsit from the dwarven ruins, and killed the guy who betrayed everyone, but aside from taking some things I’d picked up along the way to various people to finish some side quests, that seems to be all. Why it took so long, I don’t know. Stats fans! I’m about 38 hours in, on level 21. Hurrah!
Went through another couple of levels, embarrassingly only on intensity 2.4. They were quite easy though, with my new Pudgy Palm of Awezom Power. Its range is a bit feeble though, so I had to change my attack style to suit. It seems there’s a whole second set of achievements for the game too, having unlocked a new page of them today. Only have about 15% of them overall! After that I went and played the first level again – this time …
After a week or so away, it was back to the Thieves Guild to carry on that questline. I’d just reached Goldenglow, and wiped out everything there. After that, it was off to the Honningbrew Meadery for rat-and-spider killings for fun and profit. Oh, and poisoning the captain of the guard. What roffles. Upon returning to Maven Black-Briar to inform her I’d done her deeds, I bumped into a guy at the pub she was in. He challenged me to …
Complet…oh, wait. Seems that the end, which was heavily signposted, even with the “This is the final battle!” speech, turned out to not only be not the end, but actually be the beginning. What. I won’t say why (spoilers), but I was wondering why the game felt so short!
So it turns out that I didn’t return to Skyrim immediately, instead installing this. I have no knowledge of the Clone Wars cartoon, and all I know about the Star Wars 1 to 3 films came from Lego Star Wars II, so I’m going in blind. Not that you need to know anything about the setting in order to play Lego games. You just mash X. I’ve finished the first 5 levels. I don’t know how many levels there are, …
