User Name 21 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I just finished the first episode of The Walking Dead. I didn’t realize it’s literally a Choose Your Own Adventure novel in video game form. And I think they were smart to make the puzzles simple so they have a minimal impact on the story's pacing. I liked CYOAs when I was a kid so I'm receptive to playing one now in video game form—especially right now when I'm laid up. So far I'm into it. GameFly also sent me Mass Effect 3 but I think I'll hold off on that because I don't like playing multiple game at once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Kasumi DLC mission isn't too great, but Kasumi is an awesome character to have in your party for combat scenarios. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
soup 105 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I wonder how Fez will be now, the game was really heavily influenced by the online following but now that all that work is done I wonder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Golem Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Started me2 last night, after finishing me1 Is shadow broker the only dlc worth playing, or are the other ones good? Personally, I really like Overlord, and think it's on par with Shadow Broker. They're all a little pricey though, and better kept until the end unless you're getting a squad member out of it like Kasumi. Worth waiting for a sale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kzero 10 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Fucking Ninty man. I'm slightly enjoying Skyward Sword...but FUCK. The game holds your fucking hand the entire time. Walk into a room, oh by all means, show me the room. Then please, have that bitch Fi go on a tangent about my objective and how it might be doable if I move the only fucking movable stone in the room. Christ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
