But you also need cash to buy the upgrades from vendors. You can;t sell anything so you have to do missions to find cash in safesI'm sure Dragon Age 2 wil be great.

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 It's not the boobs which bother me in games, RPGs in this instance; it's the way the more nerdy developers still think the script needs to have juvenile, lead-balloon flirtation between the player and absolutely every single female NPC encountered. It's fucking cringeworthy, especially if there's still players out there who get a buzz out of that sort of pathetic garbage.If there's one thing which sets back the advances made in videogame writing in recent years, it's geek lust like that, and judging by a line I heard in Dragon's Age 2, Bioware are still firmly routed in game dialogue 101 circa 1992. Yawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I like how there's sex in Fallout this time around, but it's funny sex, not cheap geeky sex.There's a quest where you have to gather prostitutes for a place in Freeside, and one has to be a sex robot. I found a securitron in some RobCo building and it's name was Fisto. You can give it a test run and then the screen goes black and you hear a bunch of drilling mechanical noises. One of the dialogue options afterwards is "I can't feel my legs!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really have to make sure to find all the credits on missions. You'll know that you got everything when the amount of credits found matches the Cerberus funding (with a couple of exceptions). Also, don't waste your money on ship models and fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 yeah I bought the fish ( a few times because they kept dying ), model kits and the space hamster (8000 credits)But I did scan ALL the planets for hidden missionsI don't have any DLC so that must be it .I'm missing expensive upgrades like Shields and Heavy Weaving 5 that cost 90000 each .I also think I missed one of the SMG upgrades on a mission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 It's Assassin's Creed 2.5.A vast game in it's own right, Brotherhood features a brand new quest that's about the same size as the last one, an updated graphics engine, better mission design and online multiplayer with ranking and unlock trees etc. It's so much more than a mere expansion, that's for sure, and any AC fan should play it, indeed - it did after all review even better than the great second game.

Is Brotherhood a legitimate sequel that they churned out without a care in the world, or is a giant expansion?II had the weirdest annoying ending I could have imagined for a game. The last part in general was quite a let-down, with the promised Rome/Vatican location turning out to be just the insides of some Vatican buildings. Plus the frame narrative is left completely unresolved. Apparently it was meant to be in two parts, and Brotherhood is the conclusion, with I believe an actual proper Rome level.

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 I've not played the first game. I tried it, but I could see how it might become repetitive. After playing the other games, I can only assume Ubisoft really upped their game. The reviews do state that to be the case.It was ACII which made me a fan of the franchise.

King Mark 3,631 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 We'll see. Usually I "get into" a game in the second third. I just did a few missions to get comfortable with the controls and climbing the buildings. Another game where you can't create multiple save game files so I hope it doesn't get corrupted before the game endsI went through Borderlands and Mass Effect2 in 2 weeks , I have a bit of gaming indigestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
