Does it not? I thought that one sucked ass

PW is freakin' great! It's probably my least favorite MGS game I've played, but it's still really fun!
Underrated but not really hated by the fandom, I'd say.
It's also really important to the story, especially for MGSV.

If nothing works to fix it, delete the folder after uninstalling the game. It will basically rebuild the game.

In all seriousness, the best roleplaying games that I've played have either eschewed or downplayed fast-travel. Open worlds truly shine when the entirety of it is meaningful and thoroughly integrated to travel through and explore. Dragon's Dogma is a great example as the journey to a dungeon was part of the adventure, rather than just the dungeon itself.

I'd rather play the game than walk around looking at the same art assets over and over imo.

Got that Until Dawn game on play station store, it was free for the month so decided fuck it why not, had a good laugh watching the Achievement Hunter lets watch on youtube and did have interest in it in the past.

Now... to save as many people as i can... or to cause the deaths of as many people as i can. That is the question.

Save, then try again to kill as many as people as possible.

Or the opposite first.

So on Din's Curse, I finally graduated from my flatbow (lowest level of bow weapon) that does ten damage per second, to a shortbow that does 10.5 damage per second. Not much difference save for sprucing up my confidence enough for me to tackle the higher levels of the game (read: starting at level four or six instead of starting at level two) with my level eleven character. The reason I say starting at is because that's when the lowest levels of monsters are, so if there's level two monsters on the first floor of the dungeon below the town, then there can be higher level monsters on the lower floors, and I have a preference of knocking them out immediately, like one-hit wonders, and at most two hits. I also do not like the higher level monsters that start at level 5 and go up because they have annoying special attacks such as fire attacks which have a damage over time effect, and I try to avoid depleting my stock of health potions and food too.

So anyway, I was going on this dungeon - forgot the name sorry, it's randomly generated anyway - and these creeping broods come out of nowhere as though they're invisible and suddenly materialise by flocking to me, like freaking five of them at a time attacking me! Fuck me, of course I'm swearing as I play, I didn't see them coming and fuck them too. I shouted 'I'll fucking kill you!' before realising I was killing them anyway. But then once those things are knocked out with more than two hits, mind you, a fucking ghost appears out of thin air and I have to knock THAT out too. Both those things appear out of thin air, I knew from my years prior of playing the game but I didn't expect it so soon, especially not at EVERY FEW STEPS I TOOK. So yay.

I need a better bow. :( But at least I have my Fukitol earthquake ability that's basically my 'fuck this' when I'm surrounded on all four fronts - when I'm too lazy to shoot from my bow, I just throw in the towel and press the '3' on my keyboard to activate it. :P

So I assume the game is not suitable for minors at all, which is as it should be.

Its a solid game, though the aging engine hampered it a bit imo, and the illusion of choice you get with all telltale games, but its easily my favourite out of theirs.

Actually not the case. Nothing sexually explicit and the art style means blood and wounds isn't particularly revolting for a game either. But the interactions and conversations are absolutely excellent and the characters from the show feel like they should be involed with the Forresters story without seeming shoved in so they can do the whole "HEY LOOKS ITS TYRION GUYS, LOOK ITS TYRION!!! ISNT THAT AMAZING HE IS IN THE GAME".

I do think the engine is suffering and Telltale needs to get on that ASAP. But even if their is an illusion of choice I'm more than happy to ride this story all the way to the end it's just so enthralling.

Well I just finished it and holy Jesus it has ce,ended itself as one of the best video game narratives I've ever enjoyed. I was just utterly entranced the entire way through. The dialogue was fantastic, the characters and the tone felt completely organic to the world and the wider ASOIAF universe and the twists and turns were both surprising but without M.Knight Shamalamasdingdonging it and ruining the whole affair.

I was rooting for the characters the entire way and I'm sad that despite coming out awhile ago a season 2 has yet to appear so I can continue the Forrester story.

If anyone enjoys fantastic narratives and stories than I thoroughly recommend Telltales Game of Thrones. Especially for Game of Thrones fans. It feels like I got an entire extra season of the show to enjoy which I can actively take part in.

Completed Until Dawn, got most people out a live, some died.

Mike: Survived (bit battered)
Jessica: Survived (Royally fucked up but survived)
Ashley: Survived
Chris: Survived
Sam: Died (Fucked up at the very end with the Wendigo in front of me for the last time whilst saving Mike, controller just went out of the zone and she got impaled by the Wendigo's arm
Matt: Died because i fucked up with the flare gun early on in the game, i knew he was meant to have it to save himself a bit later, but turns out just giving him right when you get it causes him to fire it off leaving it with no rounds.

And Josh became a wendigo, crazy fucker, but felt bad for him. Oh and that Stranger dude died but thats scripted, as are Hannah and Beth at the start, well... beth that is.


Fun game, and i got some different sections compared to the people i watched play on youtube, especially Achievement Hunter and got most of the clues and totems.


Might go back to it again some point down the line and try and get a full completion thing and save everyone, or kill everyone. Would like to see a sequel or something like it down the line, i digged the interactive 90s horror movie aspect to it, where you can make people not do stupid ass decisions.

So, apparently the Takistan Army in ARMA 2 thinks it's a good idea to send T-34's against M1A2 Abrams and Bradleys.
