So I’ve integrated DLC, researched alien weaponry, manufactured them in the proving ground, seen a facility pop up that has a “powerful enemy guarding it” and launched in.

The mission was super easy - the enemies barely a threat despite it being marked as one of my first Very Hard missions. I have looked and looked and there is no bastarding alien ruler at this facility much less guarding it.

I’m on Iron Man so I’m a little scared to plant the X4 and extract in case this ruins my game and I don’t encounter this ruler ever again. Has anyone encountered this before? Are they sometimes hidden in corners of the map? Or in buildings? I’ve looked online and can’t see anyone mentioning this - it

Just finished the game and am absolutely gutted there seems to be poor chance of a sequel. I assume, like me, a lot of you are yearning for similar content.

While I was playing, a lot of themes and the player character reminded me of the film ‘Filth’. James McAvoy plays a racist, homophobic, corrupt, stimulant-snorting, alcoholic cop in Edinburgh. Won’t go into spoilers but there’s a lot of mystery around his character and his past, and you know something just isn’t quite right. He’s tasked with solving the murder of a Japanese student and it all ties in with him getting a promotion. He’s an absolute cunt but there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye. The book is written by Irvine Welsh

Hey. Me and my mate have just gotten back into the game after a 3 year hiatus. We've ran all the raids in Destiny 1 before but none in Destiny 2. We've just ran the Prophecy and Shattered Throne dungeons for the first time as well without using a guide which was fun. We'd love for someone to show us the ropes in the Deep Stone Crypt so we can then show the rest of our clan how to run it. We are from Scotland so are in the GMT timezone and play in the evenings during the week and all weekend. We're above power level 1300. Please drop a comment, PM me or add me on PSN if you are interested: aPsychoticPeanut

Cheers!

"Loading save": a familiar message for every RPG gamer with a completionist, indecisive or morbidly curious mind. Simulated consequences are rendered null, as the player is provided with the ability to rescind regrettable decisions and return to a previous save state as if nothing happened.

This concept of accountable immunity was a troubling obsession for Corey; an anxiety-plagued young adult whose paralysing remorse lay primed in his tortured soul, disarmed solely by hollow distractions that remained constant. Unforeseeable variables and alternate scenarios gnawed and clawed at his battered conscience whenever he seldom allowed himself to reflect on his beloved kin's pointless deaths: a

Can anyone help me here, I feel like I’m going crazy! At one point I was watching some of the cast of Game of Thrones reading their own character’s passages from ASOIAF and it was amazing. For example, Jack Gleeson read a viewpoint from Joffrey talking about the black cells. I can’t find them anywhere anymore and can’t even find a mention of them! Another example is Charles Dance talking about Casterly Rock I believe. Anyone else listened to these?

In Daredevil Season 3, it’s revealed that she was the direct cause of her brother’s death in a car accident.

Just rewatching Season 2, at the part where Frank Castle crashes into her car with her and the Blacksmith in it. She begs Frank not to kill him, saying that she’ll be dead to him, but he does it anyway.

She walks back to the car wreck and stares at it before bursting out crying. We assume this is because Frank wouldn’t listen to her, but it now really seems like it reminds her of her brother’s death.

At the start of the game, you are told that some enemies are resistant to the Leviathan axe and you should therefore use your fists instead. These enemies are the frost-enemies, Hel-walkers. Throughout the game whenever they showed up, I threw my axe and went unarmed.

Then you get the Blades of Chaos, which I can only assume is now a substitute for the Leviathan axe when fighting Hel-walkers. But I’m now at the end game and I see Hel-walkers and I get curious. They take a couple of combos with the Blades of Chaos to kill, which is no hassle. But I take out my Leviathan axe, throw at it one’s head and it dies in one hit! What the fuck? I then slaughter the rest with the axe like a hot knife

Holy shit, that took me like 100 tries. Came a ballhair away from dying before Boy finished her off with an arrow! Those valkyries better be on our side in the sequel or I swear to Odin I will cry.

The best thing is you realise how fluid the gameplay is and how accurate the hitboxes are while you’re fighting these bosses.

Normally on very difficult games, the bullshit causes you to push the limits of the mechanics and then you find exploits/cracks in the game, ruining the fun. But in God of War, these cracks don’t show and you wind up perfecting your play style and upping your game. It’s a great feeling to finally finish this quest and stick the game on the shelf until New Game plus come

Not sure if this has been pointed out, but I think I might have noticed some subtle writing used to manage the viewer’s expectations.

At the beginning of the season, we’re introduced to Whizzer. We immediately write him off as crazy because he is in the middle of a quickcut/montage of clients that Jessica is annoyed at. We then find out that he was telling the truth, so our expectations are changed when watching the the rest of the show.

Then we are introduced to the Healer, who most viewers would have been sceptical of right off the bat. (Some may still have seen the twist coming, but I believe that’s just because we know there’s going to be some more conflict in her storyline.) But becau

Haven’t seen this really debated much because it seems as though everyone thinks the Vigilante ending is somehow the only right ending. I’m absolutely sticking with not trusting John and certainly not letting him be a vigilante.

John is not only mentally ill, but he’s prone to violent outbursts and doesn’t empathise with anyone except his “friends”. Believing that he only killed those agents in self defence is very reckless as if it were anyone else, you’d believe otherwise. We know almost nothing about the guy, remember.

I also believe he killed the Riddler, which still seems heavily implied as the culprit hasn’t been revealed (And Batman doesn’t really seem to care, surprisingly). I thin

I remember reading people having doubts about his version of the Joker’s voice, and disappointed he didn’t impersonate Hamil or Ledger. I admittedly thought he couldn’t step up to those guys despite being great at his Joker impressions.

But that episode, holy shit. He really convinced me that John was going through some real emotional shit. That he was scared, and really needed a friend. But then I shot him down and you almost hear him snap, just through the changes in his voice and inflections. It’s fucking outstanding, honestly.

By the end, when Joker really became a villain, he really sounded like a new Joker voice that I can really get behind. Arguably better than Baker’s, in Arkham O
