I just started my second playthrough on apocalyptic and am now a little nervous about this part. In all honesty, this game is selling for way below its actual value. I really enjoyed my first playthrough and believe you'd be better off hanging onto it than selling it for $5 or whatever you'd get for it at Gamestop. If worst comes to worst, start over at a lower difficulty and blaze through earlier parts of the game. If not, there's always YouTube for tips on beating that particular section; I'm sure I'll be consulting it when I reach that point in the game.
I totally hear what you're saying and it seemed pretty anticlimactic. However, I can see how making a game in which you kill the Pope (even though he was a bad pope) might be a tough sell for Catholic players. Definitely continue with AC: Brotherhood, though. A break is definitely warranted, but it's a lot of fun and a big improvement over both of the first two ACs.
I still believe that video games could be one of the best ways to create empathy, and this experiment was a powerful example for me. Thanks for sharing. I would have never seen this otherwise.
A few opinions here, eh? Yeah, I totally hear the people who didn't like the game and the faces could be a bit weird. But something about this game really scratched an itch for me. I enjoyed the combat pretty well and I was determined to see all the story variations (I picked Morinth rather than Samara on my last playthrough, for instance). I've played a femshep renegade and enjoyed it and got the Kasumi, Overlord and Shadow Broker when they were on sale. Everything I've heard about Arrival says "Meh" so maybe I'll wait for a price drop or pick it up when ME3 is closer to release. Otherwise, from the sound of things, I've probably gotten my money's worth out of the game. re: ME3. anyone here stoked about being able to shout commands and pick dialogue commands via Kinect? Yeah, me neither.
Yeah, I totally loved ME2 and haven't gotten this much out of a game since Oblivion. It took me awhile to figure it out, but really enjoyed playing as a Vanguard on Insanity, in spite of several controller-throwing moments. I decided to continue after beating the campaign, rather than starting fresh, since I still have a few lingering missions (firewalker [snore] for instance). The question is, what else is there to do? Is Arrival any good? Any secrets or easter eggs to find? Just curious. Doubtless, I should find something else to play now....
I'll be honest: I'm a sucker for aerial combos. I'm not familiar at all with previous DMCs, so they can do whatever they want to the character and it will make no difference to me.
If WoW has taught us anything, it's that MMO gameplay rarely lives up to the kick-ass cinematics. That said, I'll probably try this anyway on the strength of the brand.
