I loved Tomb Raider, so it is a reboot done right. As for the weapons, that's because the bow and arrow was the best weapon in the game. I had no problem with combat though, but I usually took my enemies out in stealth.

Tomb Raider 2013 as in the the new super cute not super sexy Lara Croft?

That Version of Lara Croft has to got to be my favorite now, plus the accent~

But yea in terms of gameplay it was a bit iffy here and there, I found the hunting aspect really, really useless later on. Story and how it was done was really cool.

-----------------------------

Played more of Persona Q last night and gosh darn are these puzzle difficult probably one of the many reasons why I have more hours in this game than P3 and P4 Golden (when I sitll had it) combined.

Yeah, I agree with all of this. I think I only used the shotgun when I had to open barricades. Anything that wasn't the bow was really just another situational tool.

I restarted Conception 2 and i'm making good progress through the game. I'm befriending Ellie because out of the first 4 girls she's my favorite. But once Torri comes into the story i'm probably gonna ditch her in favor of Torri because she's my overall favorite. I'm on chapter 2 and i forgot where Torri shows up so i think it'll be a while.


Also i started playing Professor Layton and the miracle Mask, i'm on chapter 2 right now, man is the first chapter of that game long, whenever i play it tires me out.

I'm a bit of an achievement whore, so I had to get down and dirty quite a bit to get those weapon achievements- got them all except, you guessed it, the shotgun.

Speaking of, when you really did have to get in close, like at the end, the distraction skill was a bit wonky. I would've liked if it auto-locked on the nearest enemy as opposed to the direction you were facing/scrambling to, because it's a reasonable assumption that you're going to be moving AWAY from the heavily armored dude with the giant sharp stick instead of TOWARD him.

Yes, the one with the Jennifer Lawrence-esque Lara instead of the version that was once portrayed by Angelina Jolie.

The story was pretty standard Hero's Journey type stuff and you could see everything coming a mile away if you're even remotely familiar with how these types of plots go- but it was still very enjoyably done.

The bow was so OP once you got the right skills and upgrades that the only real shortcoming I found was against large numbers of enemies at once- but then I got the explosive arrows and that more or less rectified the problem.

Yeahhhh I still hate the collectibles and achievements in that game for making me do a second run because so many were missable. Even if it was a great game, rushing through it just for them was a bore.

Still achievement hunting in AC: Rogue. That world is just so disproportionately big compared to the length of the game proper it's ridiculous. Finished up everything in the north Atlantic (except legendary ships since I don't think I have enough upgrades) and am starting on the river valley.

THere are only a few trophies I did not get in Tomb Raider. One of them was pulling off guys from cliffs with the zip line and stuff. However, game wise, I 100% it.

Mother fucker I think my Rogue save is bugged because one of the renovation guys won't appear... I do not want to make a new save for collectibles in a bloody Assassin's Creed game of all things.

Edit: Neeeevermind. Just realized I had slipped into a location in a zone I haven't taken the fort in to unlock him.

I accidentally finished the game before I'd finished all the side missions. I liked it, but after seeing the ending I didn't really feel compelled to keep doing side stuff.

Hard to believe but Screw Attack's AVGN Adventures is coming out for Wii U in North America this Thursday!

That's something to look forward to after work! I'm still waiting on Freedom Planet but I do love a good side scroller!
