wait, woah woah...back the truck up! I thought you were a PS3 person, you game on Xlive as well?
Oh and I forgot, once you get past level 6, ditch rook in favor of a pawn of proper level.
they don't tell you how it goes, with the color coding but red quests tend to be super difficult and above your level, yellow are on par for your level, green should be super easy, and grey you should be able to do while sleeping rolling your face over the controller :p
I have a level 68 pawn mage, I don't think I have an RC value on her if you would like to borrow her, though it may make the game a bit to easy and take the challenge away. You can find me on Xlive as "HallowedSilent" and my pawn is "Kuene"
I have my pawn as a mage, you can always feel free to borrow her to help you along! Right now, I don't really have any problems with ogres or gryph's (I'm a Ranger/Assasin/Mage Knight) my primary vocation now is Ranger which lets me range my attacks, especially against Ur-Dragon (the big bad guy). I am going through my NG+ right now to prep for the next one for Dark Arisen! oh and I'm looking for the Direworlf helm to replace my Lupin one so I got the whole direwolf look with the helm and cape...ya and the white face paint with red eyes! <---huntsmen by trade :p
Yeah, maybe I'm not enough of a narcassistic terrible person lol!
Honestly, its like any other hobby but better! I mean you've got people who collect all sorts of stuff for what ever reason! Its a sense of being a part of that particular time of history! I love my collection, and I really don't do game trade in's (unless its out of spite for a poorly executed game *glares at Homefront*)
I mean, i guess its like a picture in time that you can go relive if you have a system that works! like if you walk by and look at your old NES, your old Zelda game, Batman, Sonic etc.. you just remember that time in front of your old CRT television with your friends! or even Golden Eye with your 4 friends trying to steal and kill each other with the golden gun! so many great games that just evoke incredible memories.
That's pretty normal, I mean i'm a guy and I get those looks and I am a guy! I'm also an avid hunter/fisher, I have a higher degree (Masters of Accounting) and a few professional credentials such as my CPA, CFA (pending), and CMT (pending).
Not only do people give me strange looks when I tell them I'm a gamer (and have been), they give me even stranger looks when I tell them I'm an avid outdoorsman and survivalist. They expect me to be this obnoxious walstreet finance person that has no concern but money and sex...I guess I'm not narcassistic enough to live in my own shoes for public opinion lol.
This is something that so many experts are watching since this becomes more the developers fighting the retailers! I know they are trying to reassure gamers, but the market's not buying this bull! They are watching this closely because there will likely be a response, and that could potentially be higher prices to off set losses. Its possible that will be what some experts think will drive digital download sales.
While I am not certain, its definitely one of those phenomenons to watch out for. I do think if this "anti secondary market" crap does continue to a point of making it impossible to exist that the FTC will likely get involved because it would do such an amount of damage to retailers, especially brick and mortar establishments.
yikes...to NY!?! well I guess that means I may see you all if I get a shot at going to the NY comic con >.>
I agree, as do many others, that the implications of destroying the secondary market are insane. The market view is that it could be very damaging, and it would be a harsh move to pull because companies like gamestop derive so much of their profit from those secondary markets. It really has generated interest in both the consumer and investor market.
My hope is that the physical media stays put, but they do expand the digital downloads to try and pick up those indie games that don't have the capital behind them. I honestly believe if PSN and Xlive make it easier for indie games to make their way to market, with some better support, this generation we may see the rise of some great companies!
I know Steam has that, but in general PC games tend to be cheaper, (around $10 on avg), I would hope if there was a shift, we would see some savings, OR! I would hope that the option for a digital download in lieu of physical media is offered where you could do the digital download for a reduced price. I know its a big question in the market because this directly impacts the gamestops and amazon.com's of the world.
I do too, There is something about owning the physical media, and the recent failures in the market by EA are mostly highlighted in their Origin software which is their primary direct download gateway. I would say most of those are dealing with the iOS sales (I hope) but you never know. We will have to take a wait and see mentality with it.

Hasn't friended me on Xlive yet <,<
Hiya Nice to see you made the trip! I am really feeling good about this community as it goes forward! Its really nice to see a continuous flow of 1uppers!
I am gald you enjoyed it! you may be right with MS, I sort of hope that they can be competitive with Sony and we can see a decent amount of games, exclusives and events!
its possible for sure! I don't think they would so foolish as to irritate their own consumer base but I mean they did that in a few ways with the PS3 by removing so many featuers that people wanted... I hope you are too and I hope the system is competitive, but I really worry about the anti-used game mechanics.
ha! That is what I am hoping for! it would truly be great, and that would look fantastic!
Always nice to meet a famiilar face over here! hope to see more of you around :D
And that's quite the problem for them! They didn't really release any system sellers! I mean the VITA released an Uncharted game that a lot of people like, and the 3DS finally (finally) came into stride with their own decent game selection and backwards compatibility.
The Wii U needs a system seller, some good games that are unique to the system and that people love. I would love to see a Zelda game that went down the road that Skyward Sword went, but a little further. A game that was about puzzles, but had character development as well!
Ha, yeah, I didn't buy in at first, my biggest thing was Fable 2, which turned out to be crap :-/. I am hoping Fable 4 will be good though! It will exist without its Peter Molyneau (its spelled wrong, but you know what i mean). So this will be a real chance for it to be fantastic! I am interested in seeing what both systems offer before I made my decision :p
On a side note, I would be willing to bet, around the holiday season, we will see a Zelda Special Edition Wii U!
Thanks! I do my best in terms of trying to present a good analysis!
I think the PS4 will eventually, but that slow start could leave a lot of ground for Xbox to over take them with, it defeats the purpose of that advanage. I think Nintendo's biggest problem was that they released their system with a bunch of games that were already out on the 360 and PS3. They should have driven their sales with a Zelda game, and then continued on with new multiplatformers!
I may buy a PS4, but we will see...I want to see what MS is bringing to the table before I make that decision..my likely decision will probably be...both lol! Sony is a good company in the end, they just make some bad decision, but bad decisions seam pretty rampant in the industry as of late.
Welcome fellow refugee! always good to see more people migrate this way! Its a nice little community instead of moving into the big city where no one knows anyone! remember to break down your boat, and stop by the gift shop :p
only 70? I mean I am doing HUD audits AND taxes and I think I am up to arond 90-110 :p
Great! Though while there are CPA's that do taxes, the credential itself is more related to financial reporting and understanding of US GAAP. I am currently working through my Chartered Market Technician, as well as Chartered Financial Analyst. Most of my specialization revolves around that.
I spend a lot of time looking through financial statement, and oddly enough gaming one lol! I did my masters final project going through Activision's financial statements :p
Sounds fanastic! in your case it will likely be the 360, and that is because I think we can generate more people at the same time! That and borrowing games is a bit easier :p
