King Mark 3,624 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Finished Dead Islandwow it took me almost month to complete it. I didn't have marathon sessions on this one, no wonder it felt like I started it ages agonow probably Dishonored after a few days break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 So you enjoyed it then? Disagree with the mean spirited critique it came in for from the snobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,624 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 yes, it was funI even liked the Ryder White campain because you had to use guns instead of melee weapons...made it different. And it was harder than the main game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Did you not find guns in the second half of the campaign? I had rifles and shotguns. Also, I imagine you're probably considering the sequel at some point. I've played a good few hours of it. But just know it's exactly the same as the first game, just with different environments. That might be okay with you, and while I do quite enjoy it, it does feel a bit lazy and samey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,624 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hmm, in the main game I mostly used melee weapons until the end (except for bandits). I only upgraded one pistol in the whole gameAs for the sequel, I think I've had enough of the first game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 You'll possibly feel like returning to its world in the future, as I did after a year or so. But the reviews which criticised it's laziness were right. Even then though it's still fun in its own right. But yeah, you've probably seen it all before.

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think on consoles the frame rate was actually worse in the sequel. On PC it's pretty damn stunning actually. The Chrome Engine is just too much for 512mb of console ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Reading reviews people are saying zombies spawn randomly in areas that you've already cleared. One person saying that one literally spawned in front of him as he was running. Was this a prevalent issue with you? That sounds like a huge buying decision for me. One dude also said the game isn't catered for solo campaign and that the amount of zombies don't change, leaving you overwhelmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,624 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 There's not single launch game of the new consoles I really want, now that I looked more closelyFIFA, Madden, CoD, Forza...yeech.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 You skipped all the good ones. I think my launch day total amassed to something like $1,300.PS4 Watch Dogs bundle + DualShock 4 + Camera + COD: Ghosts + Battlefield 4 + Killzone: Shadow Fall + KnackStandard PS4 consoleIf I skip the second system it'd be a little bit under $900 I think. Everything is sold out again though, so if the consoles are still worth a bunch come launch date, I'll sell off the second PS4 and make all my money back.I'll wait for Assassin's Creed IV to drop in price, and it's not like I'll have time to play any of the ones I already pre-ordered. I was going to wait for Knack to drop too but they are really mostly shooters so I decided to get something to even it out. I'll get DriveClub on PS+.

King Mark 3,624 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 ok, Microsoft made me freak out again with an updated security code...Asks me to go check my email for it...on a DIFFERENT EMAIL than what my account is!! (lucky I had to create a second email for some shit Microsoft pulled earlier when I had to create a second xbox live account to redeem my points cards, otherwise I'd have NO second email)BUT it implies I have to take the internet cable out of my 360 and back to my PC, then when I came back I lost my xboxlive session and it didn't workThey seem to not think of these things and assume EVERYONE has a router with multiple connections or a cell phone. I was about to throw the friggen controller at my TVIt worked the second time when I tried with the phone number option , but I feel I almost locked myself out of my account permanently, or having to go through a great deal of hassle to get it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Haven't really a clue what you're taking about here but I assume it's security measures to protect your account from being stolen. I'm afraid if you're going to play video games in this digital era you MUST have a good memory for passwords and access to the internet via any number of connected devices. I personally don't think these prerequisites are unreasonable. It can be a nuisance sometimes, but if it ensures the safety of my account I'm okay with it.

King Mark 3,624 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 no, my modem has one connection onlyIf I want to send my internet it to multiple devices I need a routerThe point is they made the security update in a way that you can get screwed by your hardware and very unfriendly to users, including very poor explanations on the xbox dashboardAnyways I installed Borderlands 2 and Dishonored...what should I play first? Which takes longer to finish?BTW when I failed to redeem a MS points card last year on my original xboxlive account, you'd EXPECT they give you a message to tell you what to do , such as : Account is not registered to the correct country, please create a second account with the correct country and try againnope, nothing, just a code fail message and no explanationI thought the MS points card was defective and was about to return it to the store. It took me a day of reading online message boards to figure it out that I had to make a new account to Canada ( Accounts default to US if you don't find the hidden menu during the account creation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Borderlands 2 is 5X the size of Dishonored. Both are very good, but I only finished the latter. Which is ironic considering I preferred the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,624 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 It's partly laziness but also that I won't want to set up a wireless home network that you need passwords to access and are easier to hack into (I saw too many news reports of criminals driving by people's homes and hacking into their wireless home network to commit identity theft or steal financial info).And it doesn't excuse Microsoft to assume everyone can be connected to the internet from at least 2 devices at the same time , AND have 2 functional e-mail addresses set up for their shitty update (we'll send you the security code by email now!---to a different e-mail than your regular one!). I hate being caught off guard like this and literally didn't know what to do.

It's not the same thing.HDTV requires a basic set up to work properly, it's an all or nothing proposition, at least here.I have the basic set up for the xbox360 to work online, but suddenly it asked me to have extra hardware and accounts I did not readily have for a security checkIf I turned on my HDTV , and suddenly it asked me to enter a code to watch a show they will send to my cell phone, and I did not own a cell phone, then the situation would be similarand the whole outrage over the xboxone was that a gaming console shouldn't need to be connected at all to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Oh for single player games I fully agree.And yet we are slowly creeping towards the "hive society", where everyone is connected to each other, all the time, and everything we do will be known.We all know this is happening, yet no one seems to want to stop it.
