WooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO I did it! I took Daz's crawl along the floor strategy to its extreme and crawled to victory! Well to the launch room, where I entered the launch codes with about 30 seconds to spare

That level was a PITA. One comedy instance of this is the ending, where troops spawn in the moving trucks!

Played mate

Just polishing off the achievements on Alien Hominid HD. Pretty hard going but quite satisfying - well worth 400 points anyway (got it when it was the deal of the week).

Just done all the HL's finally including running through Lost Coast/Portal/Ep1/Ep2 with commentary's on

Very interesting info and some amusing anecdotes from the actors too

Thanks to my good friend Leo, since Sunday night I have been playing Resident Evil 5. After a bit of co-op with him on Sunday, I restarted it yesterday from scratch, and I'm currently up to chapter 4-2. It's both better and worse than Resi 4 in equal amounts so far. I love the fact there's no annoying person like Ashley that I always have to protect. I love the fact that the AI is smart enough to reload all it's weapons inbetween battles, assuming it's low on ammo. I'm not enjoying the story as much as Resi 4, and I'm not enjoying the micromanagement of the items I pick up. Only having 9 slots to carry items is annoying, especially when buying and equipping armour takes up a slot. With the relative lack of ammo I try to carry 4 weapons with me, and I'm invariably struggling to pick ammo up as I'm out of room. I miss the briefcase system of Resi 4. Still, it's very enjoyable and it's certainly something I'll be picking up myself in the future as I'll probably aim for the full 1000 on it in the end which will require 3 playthroughs as I started on normal difficulty.

Hmmm, RE5 and the new silent hill sounds interesting. I've given up with Mirrors Edge after spending a couple of hours stuck on the same point. I may get it again another time when its in the bargain bin. Some good sections and I liked the concept which is why I kept trying to continue.

The part that really annoyed me was the forced combat sections. It is rather clunky around the combat areas.

SiD the Turtle · 05-05-2009, 12:57

Combat is a waste of time, just peg it

Mirrors Edge is already in the Bargain Bin. I can't think of a single forced Combat Section in the game? I did complete it twice and the Speed Runs and can't think of any points that I HAD to fight?

Psymonkee · 05-05-2009, 16:53

There are about 2 that I can remember - both times your needing to climb a drainpipe and there are guys with guns loitering.

Chapters 3 & 8 iirc

Only takes 2 secs to KO them though

NokkonWud · 05-05-2009, 16:58

Only level I can think of is The Boat, but you CAN do it without fighting anyone. You don't need to fight anyone at the drainpipe either Simon.

Zirax · 05-05-2009, 18:34

Hmmm, fair enough. I'll keep an eye out when its cheap somewhere
