Did I just read a reaction to a review for a trailer for a film? Should I form my opinion of the whole film based on this?
-
Guys, can we keep this thread on topic please?
-
Actually, DCubed is actually me. I won those races. Give me the points.

My wife made the point that it seems odd that WW believed that man was being controlled by Aries to go to war, and yet had no problem with murdering all those therefore innocent Germans throughout the film. I thought the film was OK. Loved the beginning, liked the middle, thought the ending was crap.

Oh man, I'd forgotten about AC: Origins! When does that come out? I am hyped.
-
Yeah, I was very lucky. I had no tactics, just shot the two disc launchers off, and then went at it, using the shield weave armour to do its thing. I wonder if the DLC is just going to be a new area with a short story, or if we're going to get any new machines with it?

Aaaaaaand I've done it! Very satisfying platinum! Very well presented game. Can't wait for a sequel/DLC. Also, this was me getting a blazing sun in one of the trials by the skin of Aloy's teeth. You had to destroy the two Ravagers using the minigun, within 2 minutes, while a T-Rex presided: https://streamable.com/h54xp

I took the IELTS exam last October. Absolutely nailed it. *brushes imaginary dust off shoulder

Yeah, I know you can knock them off, but after the first one, the whole forest is usually alerted and steams in to fuck up your shit. Trying to hit a second one once they're all shielded up and pissed off is hard. All the videos I've seen online, there are three conveniently placed crates on the floor to begin with. I'll do it eventually, I'm sure.
-
I've managed all of them now but the damn Shell Walker one. Apparently it's entirely random how many loose barrels there are on the floor, and you can only get the blazing sun if you randomly get a setup where there are multiple loose ones. It's infuriating! The one thing holding me back from my platinum!

No, I'm in Japan then.

I cannot do the 19th I'm afraid, I'm in Korea.

Also, Switches get bitches, so you'll be all set.

Well I just lost for the first time since about 2008...

You might be right actually, I managed to polish off a few of them last night. I'll see how it goes!

So I finally completed the main story of this last week. Took me long enough - stats page says i've done around 50 hours, which i guess is around average? It's a huge game. I've still got a few collectables to pick up, and all of the hunting trails (I dislike any kind of timed challenge - so i doubt i'll end up getting the platinum by doing all the blazing sun trails), but I suppose i'm pretty much done with it. The story ended up being pretty good - no complaints here. I have to admit that by the end of the game, I could no longer be bothered to listen to all the guff on all the audio tapes. I'm sure it adds to the 'lore' but having to hang around in a dark cave waiting to listen to them get dull really fast. I doubt i missed out on too much. I enjoyed the final battle (those Carja cannon though, where the hell were they the rest of the game?) The one thing I was a bit disappointed about was the variety in machines. I had basically not read any reviews or watched any videos before I played the game, as I didn't want to spoil any of the machines later in the game. I obviously knew about the Thunderjaw, and was really excited to see what else they had in store - Once they'd all been revealed however, it was a bit of a let-down. Everything else seemed a bit piddly compared to the T-rex, and some of them were very underused. Shell-walkers seemed like an afterthought for example...Also there was a lot of overlap between the types. Sawtooth and Ravagers were basically the same, as were Glinkhawks and Stormbirds. I'm still not sure which was which between Chargers, Striders, Grazers and Tramplers. I think i just let my imagination run away with itself though, imagining battles against screen-filling beasts. Hopefully they've held some ideas back for the inevitable sequel. I really liked the way you get progressively more powerful as the game goes on. I remember at the beginning being really cautious and finding that taking on one Sawtooth quite tough, and by the end I would just saunter into a pack of them and ruin their day. Similarly, the first Thunderjaw you come across seems terrifying - but by then end you can toy with it, picking off parts of it while dodging its attacks.

I think it means that when you navigate to the trophies page, that progress bar at the top will now take less time to move. It used to take several seconds.

I did read somewhere that it is a problem with the PS4s architecture, which is a carry over from the PS3, which means it's harder to fix than you'd think. But....I don't see how? Just have it sync automatically every 10 minutes or something?
-
If only they made it automatic now. But this is a step in the right direction.

Another one? I'm almost out of birthday wishes and we're only halfway through the year. Happy Birthday though.

So I'm 12/13ths of the way through Iron Fist, and he's not done a whole lot of punching stuff. He's mainly been a whiney, curly-haired little bitch.

As in, you sell fields?

Ya Rly. Happy birthday!
