Long games are always daunting for me too. I've had FFX for a while, still haven't had the time to start it, same with Fallout 3. You play Dragon Age and I'll play Fallout 3.


I've barely been able to touch Dragon Age this week. Only managed to play two DLC's, The Darkspawn Chronicles and Leliana's Song. I'll share my opinions of those once I finish the rest and Awakening.

But I will elaborate on a few aspects of the main game I forgot to mention before.

There is this totally awesome glitch I forgot to mention! There is a clipping issue with Morrigan (the hot witch of the wilds who is the public image of the game in articles and such). For some reason if her character gets too close to the camera when you are controlling the player character, like for example you walk into a tightish corridor, and you swing the cam around to see out a window or something. If Morrigan is facing the camera as you move the cam, which will inch in closer because of the small corridor, the camera kinda goes through Morrigan's top rendering it invisible and giving you a whole screen full of her bare naked boobs. Bioware are so awesome for even modeling under her clothes. Nothing they do is half-assed. It is just another awesome easter egg to find in this game.

And on a similar note. I would like to praise the amount of times David Gaider and his writing team managed to fit sex scenes in the game and still have it be important to either, story, character development, atmosphere or even gameplay and the world and lore itself. I do not believe I have found even half of the many intimate moments hidden in the game. It is amazing no one has made a huge fuss out of the fact your character can HAVE A THREESOME WITH CAVE DWELLING PIG RABBITS!!! (it's an in game joke).

And onto more serious aspects of the game. The music is so brilliant. The composer Inon Zur has written some of the most beautiful and touching scores I've ever heard in a video game. I would put some of it at Akira Yamaoko level even. The singer who sings in them, Aubrey Ashburn is so angelic sounding too. The DA "Main Theme", "I am the One", and "Leliana's Song" theme in particular are my favorite three. Youtube them, her voice is comparable with Celine Dion's in my opinion. And you know Celine Dion sounds sexy deep down.

And that's what I've been doing in video games this week.

Started Resident Evil 5 for the first time in about a year or more. Finding it hard to concentrate on this game (too hard, perhaps) and so I got killed by the first truck on the bridge. RE5 makes every RE game before it look like a cakewalk.

Lolwut

I think I have just entered the Twilight Zone. RE5 is far from hard, sure there's a couple rough parts but once you learn how to use the AI partner properly you should be fine.

Oh and there's always co-op.......

Playing Grand Theft Auto 4 and Nazi Zombies (COD: World @ War).
Has anyone played the Enslaved Demo yet? It felt awesome, but the camera was annoying. When the ship started crashing, I felt pretty uneasy, and actually connected to my character, even though its obvious he's going to survive.
The character models aren't too bad, and I'm really interested in the story.

Yeah, RE5 is probably the easiest RE lol.

Well, aside from RE2.

Have you even tried the Ndesu fight on Professional? Without an online partner?
Also. try going through the game using just a knife.

Finally got some spare time to go back to gaming!

Currently playing:

Alan Wake - The Writer
Red Dead Redemption (waiting for the Undead Nightmare pack too, yay!)
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero

Surely you're kidding. Any RE is hard with just a knife lol.

Obviously, yes. I can't imagine how it couldnn't be hard with just a knife.

Also, don't call me Shirley.
