What are you playing, stupid?

[SOUP]

I've got We <3 Katamari here, but I got stuck a while back on the level where you have to roll up fire.
I'll probably give it another go soon if it has an awesome finale like the first game.

You mean Brayko? That Russian mob boss?

I didn't think he was that difficult, I kept running away from whenever he used cocaine, but kept close enough to shoot him while he was down after his fix.

I beat him on my second try.

Personally Sis was the toughest of my opponents because I had to fight her very closely and what a matter of duck, duck, shoot and repeat.

While Brayko had a huge arena that I could move around.

Did a couple of Rome missions. That Marburg is the most interesting character I've faced thus far.

[MadeManG74]

^What kind of character are you using? I wonder if your character build is better suited because Brayko took me ages and many tries to defeat using my Stealth character specialising in Pistols and Shotguns.

Also, still playing New Vegas, still lovin' it.

In Alpha Protocol, if you have a pistol, it is the best thing to take down the Russian boss. Use the the power that slows down time and aim for his head a few times before the power is used up. Keep running around the room away from him ready to fight his thugs either with a close range weapon or your fists if you are strong enough.

What I am playing:

Snoopy Flying Ace: Very good little game. The multiplayer is much better than I was expecting and the graphics are retail-quality. I am kind of bad at it though, but I guess air combat games are not really my thing.

Super Meat Boy: Kind of bought this one on a whim after a few friends told me it was fantastic and that it was going to go up in price sometime this month. I thought I would hate it because it is one of those "Die 60 times to get through one level at all" kind of games, but I really love it. Great style, great fun, very hard, but very fair. I love how it has like a hundred things that you can unlock too.

Halo Reach: Pretty sure I will be playing this game constantly for at least a full year, so from now on everyone should just assume I am always playing this. Brilliant game and all that.

Something I really want to say is that all of these games I have been playing recently have extremely great soundtracks... Like some of the best I have heard in games since Bayonetta even!

Not sure what the next game I will be playing is. It might be Sonic Colors I guess.

@MadeManGT7

Basically, I've been using Thorton as a Commando. I've uped the Toughness and uped the stats with pistols and assault rifles.

[SOUP]

I'm taking fluffymoochicken's advice and playing through We <3 Katamari

[max_cady]

Alpha Protocol, finished all the Rome Missions and fought Marburg.

I love it when a glitch helps me out, he got stuck in a place and I just kept firing. Oh what fun!

Now I'm close to the end of the game.

[SOUP]

I beat We <3 Katamari, and started up God Hand.

I can already see a ton of similarities to Bayonetta already. The so far, odd story line, the look of the characters, the save/shop between each mission.

I'm liking it so far. I bumped it down to easy though, just so the stages didn't drag on as long.

[max_cady]

I just finished Alpha Protocol and once again thanks to a weird glitch.

You see Leland has a rocket launcher and he breaks any pillars with that. For some odd reason there's one portion on which he fires but doesn't do anything, it's a bit far away from his reach, so it's basically me having to use a chain shot every couple of minutes.

And I killed him at the end. Sweet.

It sometimes wants me to replay the game because we end up knowing some facts that we didn't discover otherwise.
Like Mina being involved in my Saudia Arabia mission screw-up and Scarlet being the one who shot Ronald Sung.

Steven Hicks is also a badass character.

But somehow I felt guilty for not shooting Shaeed, in the end credits, he says that he'll continue to use Al-Samad for terrorist attacks. A wasted opportunity but then again, I wouldn't have used this information for leverage on Parker, the analyst.

Quite a complex system and Obisidian worked that pretty well, everything else, however... Is a buggy mess.

[CosmicCastaway]

I would recommend playing it again at some point. =) It's neat how the different choices have a pretty significant effect on the whole game.

I'm currently playing Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light and I'm also replaying God of War III!

[MadeManG74]

Soup: Good to hear you're liking God Hand so far. IT was one of the toughest games I've played in a while, but also really addictive and fun! It really is hard but fair!

And Max Cady, glad you liked Alpha, I didn't seem to run into that many glitches myself, but I definitely am interested in trying another playthrough at some point.

[Sega Stylista]

Mademan, do you have any interest in FOTNS: Ken's Rage?  I'm currently awaiting its arrival in the mail.

[MadeManG74]

Don't know much about it at all unfortunately. I'm guessing it's a brawler style game? Make sure to tell us what you think when you get it!

[SOUP]

@MadeMang:
I like how customizable the moveset is too. I got stuck on the first Boss (Elvis) already . Gotta be more defensive I guess.
It's quite a bit harder on easy than Bayonetta was on Normal difficulty.

[MadeManG74]

Oh yeah, definitely a harder game than Bayonetta. I think I did it on normal, but I didn't even dare to try GodHand's hard mode.

Can't remember too much about Elvis, but he is tough when you first get to him. From memory you really need to use well timed dodges. Good Luck!
