Arrow takes a while to get going, because the showrunners didn't want to put a lot of comic book stuff into it at first. By season 2 it is totally a comic book show. Flash,on the other hand, takes off right away. He has his full costume by episode 2, while Arrow doesn't get his mask until the end of season 2.
That was my game of 2015. Nothing else even came close for me.
EXACTLY! There was a mission in GTA V where I captured a couple and took them to some cult compound. It was a series of side quests. But when I realized how freaking far the compound was from everything I decided I would never do any of the other ones.
I unabashedly love Underworld. I thought the locations were really inspired, and I loved the use of Norse mythology. That stuff is woefully underused in video games. I didn't get to play the other two Crystal Dynamics games, but I agree: they have been building from what was a solid foundation with Tomb Raider Legend, and I was upset that Square Enix was not happy with the 2013 game selling a million units in its first month after Underworld sold less than that over its lifetime.
Now, if only they would let Crystal Dynamics use some of this tech and design for a new Legacy of Kain game...
Also, good to hear from you! Feels like you haven't been around.
Also, also, does the fact that you played Rise of the Tomb Raider mean you now have an Xbox One?
It really is. I've been living out of boxes for 8 years, and I'm ready to set up the place where I live the way I want it to be.
You're right, and I thought about that a lot today. I went with that complex and didn't even try another place. It just felt right.
It depends on the series for me. A very story-heavy series like Mass Effect or Dead Space makes me want to play from the beginning. But games that are more about the action are easier for me to skip to the "relevant" ones.
For instance, I keep hearing that Uncharted 2 is one of the best PS3 games, but the first game is "fine" and doesn't hold up as well. So I don't mind skipping the first game.
I hope you will let us know your thoughts. I enjoy your detailed comments on the show, even if I don't get to respond to them as quickly as I would like!
To be honest, we've been a little rocky since we got back from our hiatus. I'm trying hard to iron out our audio issues, but episode 80 feels the most like NWP has in a long time.
Silent protagonists are a big point of contention for me. Having a voiced character was the main reason I bought Fallout 4. But I still really want to spend some time with this one. The question is when I will have the time...
