I'm playing Bioshock 2. Is this one harder than the first, or do I just need to get used to the controls and shit? Because I'm getting fucking creamed :(
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Definitely harder. The only time I died in the original was an accidental suicide on my fifth playthrough.

I've probably died 5 times already in 2. You really need the armored shell and the eve link upgrades. Anything to reduce damage and make getting health easier is a must.

Yup, I've got those upgrades, but I'm still dying left and right. The thing is, I'm a Big Daddy fercryinoutloud! You'd think I'd be a little stronger, able to take some punishment. I'm in this one area now though where the enemies have tommy guns, and they're murderizing me. And, worse, I can't see where they're coming from! Half the time I'm being shot at and I don't even know from where! I'm like, "WHO THE FUCK IS SHOOTING AT ME?!!!" Also, I have a problem with the other Big Daddies. I'm protecting my Little Sister while she's siphoning the Adam out of those special glowing corpses, y'know? And, never fucking fails, another Big Daddy comes along and pokes his nose into my business. He gets into my line of fire, thinks I'm attacking him, and then kicks the living shit out of me. And, unfortunately, my Little Sister's progress isn't saved if I die. We have to start all over again.

Oh, nothin fer nuthin, but I killed a Little Sister instead of saving her. Never done that before. I regretted it. Seriously, her reaction shook me up. I won't do that again.

I finished Bioshock 2. Frustrated, though, because I'm kind of a completionist and I couldn't get into a room near the end on my way to the Pediatrics ward. I did see a code written on the wall of a cell in the cell block area that I'd just been in, but that didn't work here. Which leads me to believe there are two doors I didn't get through, though it seems I missed one of them entirely.
Whatever were in those rooms prolly wouldn't have done me much good that late in the game anyway. I was getting a shitload of Adam at this point for instance, but what was the point? Fat lot of good it did me five minutes before the ending :ddpan:

In the cell block, some prat kept yattering on about me finding the code. Okay, okay, I thought, I found the fucking code. Whatever. Figured its use would become apparent in due course, only it didn't.

I did like this game, but not as much as the first. Hard to top the first.

By the way, it is Tilda Swinton doing the voice of Lamb, right? It must be.

Finished Company of Heroes.
Almost finished Splinter Cell: Double Agent. Fuckers had a buggy PC release so the final scene won't play out. The game won't officially end even though I completed the last level.
Now playing Brothers in Arms. Fairly... shit, to be honest. People talked it up but it was rather underwhelming.

I replayed the game and found a hint for the code in one of those recorded messages you find laying about. It had to do with the paintings on the wall. I thought something was up with those paintings.
Anyway, I didn't kill anyone I didn't have to this time around. Massages my ego. And the girl, in turn, gave me a happy ending. Of sorts. I still died, while she sucked the juice from me. But I guess I died happy :dono:

Now I started Fallout 3, which to my understanding was an awesome game. But I don't like it. I can't carry anything I pick up. I get a message saying I'm overloaded. So what's the point of exploring and picking things up if I can't carry them? I can drop some things to lighten my load, of course. But which things? How the fuck do I know which things I'll need or won't need :lay:
And why does it take like a hundred fucking gunshots to kill an enemy :lay:

In the Good Ending you're dying anyway so she takes your ADAM so you'll "be together forever".

Yeah. Plus she doesn't kill all the Little Sisters. Plus she saves her mum from drowning.
Why? You never got the good ending? :hehe:

Drop the difficulty level, sell all your stuff except essentials, only pick up limited weapons in the field, but always pick up all the meds and ammo you can, and buy as much as possible too. (doesn't weigh anything, as good as currency, and useful!) Or get a house to store your junk in. Simples.

I loved Fallout.

Well I haven't died yet or anything, so I hate to drop the difficulty setting just yet.
What are the essentials :dono:
Wait, sell non-essentials? How :dono:
A house :think:

And why do I have to kill all the doggies I meet? Why I can't I make one be my friend? I like doggies :cry:
