Because of some chief motivation in the form of ass kickings, I have return full time to SFxT. Akuma has joined my ranks, for the first time in 8 years.

Just finished Dragon Age as a mage. Was a lot more difficult than I expected considering the fact that I was playing on casual.
Really liked it though. The controls felt super-weird, but duh. I am going to play 2 soon. |

Beat Brutal Legend, and I enjoyed it.
It has a likeable cast of characters, excellent art direction, a compelling narrative, the gameplay is intuitive and fun, and the voice acting is tops across the board. I was off-put by the mix of hack-and-slash with RTS at first, but it became second nature pretty quickly thanks to the control scheme. If I had to find a major fault with Brutal Legend, it would be that it's rather easy. The final boss in particular is a cakewalk, and there really isn't a penalty for dying...also, for a game that was driven so much by character interaction and an grand mythic story, the ending was a bit too brief and felt hollow to me. In addition, you're given a pretty large world to explore, but there isn't much to do in it. You have your main quests, and side quests, but the side quests vary between 3-4 different types which all play largely the same. Outside of that you can go on the standard scavenger hunt for various relics and monuments, but the rewards provided for finding them aren't worth the trouble and time used for searching them out. That aside, I really did enjoy the game. The combat is fun, the story engaging, I totally loved the artistic direction (particularly in the Black Metal region) and I found myself laughing on many occasions because the game can be genuinely funny at times. If you haven't played it, I recommend giving it a try, as it can be had very cheaply (got my copy from newegg.com for $5) especially if you're a metal head, or if you just want a light, fun game to play without having to worry about it whipping your ass without mercy. |

Its still worth getting, you get to play as the Justice League etc., just seems a bit funny now that they speak. Think Hasney said it in another thread but its lost a little of its charm because of it.

I'm still in if I can bust things up with the Green Lantern.
Is the character creator deal in again? Kind of sucks in the first one that you had to beat the thing twice before you unlocked everything. I wanted to play as Azreal, but didn't see the point after beating the whole game twice already. |

You get an achievement for defeating Sinestro with Lantern/Zod with Superman. Yeah think so,its in the Batcave, not sure if you have to complete the story first to unlock it though. You're actually running around Gotham between levels, all the non story specific characters are there for you to unlock like the Pirates game, you need Superman to open up parts of the city/flash/lantern to build things.

I got back into Old Republic. God, what fun game. I also picked up Final Fantasy 10 and I'm hooked on that. Except for Blitzball. Concept is great, but needs to be executed diferently. I suck at math.

If you want to unlock all of his Overdrives and his ultimate weapon you'll have to play a lot of Blitzball. You dont NEED any of them but they will help with Dark Aeons / Arena bosses if you're going after them. Just sign a good goalkeeper (ie. the guy on the bench at Moonflow) and sphere shot / jecht shot the shit out of everything.

The dialogue from the characters was incredibly verbose in describing who they are and where they're from and where they're going in the Tolkienism of being described as "Gydneyelsdij of Fryreshuierh" and "Havelkernp from Flendermore" and after a while my head started to hurt and I just didn't give a fuck. Combat isn't great. The AI teammates aren't spectacular. The camera is bad. I beat the first chapter and now I'm sending it out. Waste of time.
