Loser! (La-Hooo Sa-Her) / Back 4 Blood
February 19, 2023, 07:27:00 PM
I haven't played Back 4 Blood since the Beta but @Grindspine, @SpartanEvolved and I fired it up for a while today. Holy crap, even the easiest difficulty is challenging. We struggled just getting through Act 1 on the easiest difficulty. Haven't quite figured out the Card system yet so that may help, but it seems way harder than L4D so far. Want to get back into playing it some more!

That said, Spartan left and Grindspine and I fired up Act 2 on the same difficulty with another friend and a random. The random was horrible but regardless, we got wrecked about 3 maps into Act 2 and couldn't finish.

Where is Snake and Tetris?

Anyone ever play this? I love this game. There are 8 very long and good campaigns (four are "good guy" characters and four are not). Lots of character growth and customization for both yourself and your AI "companions", hunting if you want, and even multiplayer campaigns and modes if you wish.

There is a free version that can really get you as far as you want although sometimes you'll be limited in amount of items you can carry and whatnot. Definitely good enough to at least try the game and see what you think, anyway.

I beat one of the campaigns solo which took me weeks and @Grindspine and I were working through a different campaign a while ago.  Seeing the new Star Wars trailer makes me wanna get back into it haha.

Help / Issues / PMs not working

I think PMs must not be working correctly, I have been sending them and have not been getting replies.

@BLUEVOODU, please take a look at this ASAP.

Loser! (La-Hooo Sa-Her) / Unbeatable Games
February 22, 2018, 11:14:34 PM
Spartan and I are usually pretty good at powering through even the crappiest, hardest co-op games. But, there are two co-op games we gave up on and I don't believe we were even on the hardest difficulty on either one.

Game 1: Perfect Dark Zero.  I'm pretty sure we weren't even playing the hardest difficulty, we were playing the second hardest (Perfect Agent IIRC). The checkpoints were ridiculous, the AI was extremely smart, and our weapons were terrible. I think we got to level 12 or 13 on this difficulty (out of 14) and quit. Never going back, but I'll never forget how terrible this was.

Game 2: Command & Conquer 4. We'd played C&C games for years but this one was impossible. There were parts of C&C: Red Alert 3 that were frustrating and near impossible, but we got about 2 or 3 levels into C&C4 and quit. Not only were the missions hard, but I think the gameplay itself was rough and different than other C&C games. I'd like to try this again someday (especially since I don't think there have been any C&C games since), but I'd have to be pretty bored haha.

Anyone else come across games you'd consider "unbeatable", or at least unbeatable in their harder difficulties?

A Winner Is You / Halo Achievement Accomplishments
February 12, 2018, 02:48:30 AM
I feel like a couple of my biggest video game accomplishments were some friggin tough "Vidmaster Challenge" achievements in various Halo games. Most of them were completed with some help of EGA members haha. Each one of these took several hours of intense focus and lots of retries. Here are a few of the hardest:

Vidmaster Challenge: Annual (Halo 3)
After 9/25/08, completed Halo on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and everyone in Ghosts.
Only 2.66% of gamers unlocked this
Unlocked 12/28/2008


Vidmaster Challenge: Déjà Vu (Halo 3: ODST)
Completed Highway on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and no 'Hog or Scorpion.
Only 4.92% of gamers unlocked this
Unlocked 12/28/2009


Vidmaster Challenge: Endure (Halo 3: ODST)
In Firefight, on any mission, passed the 4th Set on 4-player Heroic LIVE co-op.
Only 3.84% of gamers unlocked this
Unlocked 5/11/2010


Any mission with Iron skull is already tough because any time someone in the party dies, the game sends everyone back to the last checkpoint.  It takes a lot of teamwork to make sure that everyone survives it.

The Endure one, I think, was probably the hardest of the three. 4 sets is a lot of sets because I believe there were 6 rounds in each set and they all got progressively harder. There'd be snipers, vehicles, invisible Elites, etc. You're given a limited number of lives. I still think it's pure luck that we got this one.

I believe Mega and Strubes helped out with at least one or two of these and I think SpartanEvolved was with me on all three. What also sucked is that the achievements were not actually worth any achievement points, so there isn't a lot to show for the hours and hours we spent unlocking these haha.
