Your son made a good decision.My son yesterday went and bought a PS4. So he could play the Spider-Man game.
You read that right. He bought the whole system so he could play a single game.
Tell him to pick up God of War while he's at it.

It must be your unspoiled record.Why. Do. I. ALWAYS. Think. I can WIN at Fantasy Football????

Because you like rooftop parties where 12 people gather around a 4.5 inch screen to play?I bought a Wii to play Mario Galaxy (and that was basically all I ever played)
I bought a Wii-U to play Mario Maker.
I bought a Switch to play....I still don't know why I bought a Switch.
Ditto. I played it and said to a friend "it's just Yakuza with fist of the North Star added in... Meaning it's the best thing in the world"So I played that Fist of the North Star demo on PS4 and it's just plain old Yakuza with Fist of the North Star insanity added onto the already insane Yakuza.
I've never been so ready for something before.
Oh yes. Darth Cartman. You're going to hate him a lot.After watching too many "oh no I'm stuck in an MMO" animes, I decided to try SWTOR again. It seems like they've made leveling faster yet again. I tried an imperial for the first time really. A) there are so many more people playing on the imperial side. Wonder what that says about people. B) My master's name is Darth Bare-Ass. Oh, they can spell it Baras, but all I hear is Bare-Ass.
I finished the Consular and Smuggler class stories. I found the Consular's story much more interesting than the Smuggler's. It was pretty easy to build influence with the Consular's companions, but half the Smuggler's companions seemed more evil than roguish. I did like Guss, though. Risha was beyond irritating, disapproving anything even remotely noble. Oh, and the gunslinger smuggler was ridiculously overpowered. Basically 'Sweeping Gunfire' kills almost everything. Even bosses later on.Oh yes. Darth Cartman. You're going to hate him a lot.
The thing is, the Imperial side generally has better companions and better story. All of the classes are pretty good to play through.
Sith Warrior? Both Light Side and Dark Side give you a compelling character and the companions are pretty decent. Vette is great, Malavai Quinn is kind of hypercompetent adjudant type who isn't really a kiss-ass, Dark Side Jaesa is a riot, Light Side Jaesa's a bit bland but not horrible, Pierce is your fill in for Canderous Ordo or Zaeed - your experienced vaguely psycho-for-hire military guy, he's alright, and Broonmark. Broonmark sucks.
Sith Inquisitor? You're sort of like a Sith Indiana Jones, a lot of your adventures involve delving for Ancient Sith Relics and coming into contact with the spirits of your ancestor and other ancient Sith Masters. You have some truly unique companions. Khem Val is sort of like having a Predator on your team, he's tanky and melee focused while the Inquisitor is frequently AoE, so they can clear enemy groups *quickly*. Andronikos Revel is a space pirate voiced by Steve Blum, nuff said. Ashara Zavros is a Padawan taught by some seriously fucking stupid Jedi, to the point where she loses confidence in the entire Jedi methodology and spends most of her time trying to find a middle ground between Sith and Jedi methods. Talos Drellik is surprisingly likable, he's an Imperial historian who's quest for relics makes him a good match for the Inquisitor. He's got a kind of goofy personality with a bit of "stiff upper lip" way of dealing with things. And then there's Xalek. Xalek is pretty cool looking with a menacing voice, but he joins the party so late there really isn't a lot of time for him to develop.
Imperial Agent? James Bond in the Empire. The only companion I'm not crazy about is Vector Hyllus, a Killik Joiner. It's not that he's bad, but he's kind of dull compared to Kaliyo (violent mercenary bad girl), SCORPIO (murdery fembot), Eckhard Lokin (mad scientist, spymaster, and were-monster), and Raina Temple (clever young officer with an unusual backstory that never really plays too much of a role).
Bounty Hunter - professional gunslinger and people finder. You can join the Mandalorians or not. The story arc is basically an action movie - Act I is building your rep, Act II is benefitting from it, Act III is taking revenge when it all comes crashing down. Mako's the techy good girl, Gault's the silver-tongued con man, Torian's Johnny Yong Bosch, Blizz is a Jawa with a rocket launcher, and Skadge is a big toad-looking motherfucker that you'd undoubtably kill instead of recruit if it were an option.
The thing is with Sith Warrior is that you're in a time where the Sith are powerful and they've kind of lost perspective. It's all power plays, backstabbing, reckless violence, and self-gratification. A LS Sith Warrior isn't necessarily *good* but they've mastered restraint, patience, and thinking for the long term. That even plays out in the overall war - the Sith are aggressive and offense minded, so they can conduct devastating assaults and make large gains in short amounts of time. But instead of being able to consolidate their holdings, they almost immediately fall to internal squabbling over the spoils, while the Republic builds up a counter-offensive.I finished the Consular and Smuggler class stories. I found the Consular's story much more interesting than the Smuggler's. It was pretty easy to build influence with the Consular's companions, but half the Smuggler's companions seemed more evil than roguish. I did like Guss, though. Risha was beyond irritating, disapproving anything even remotely noble. Oh, and the gunslinger smuggler was ridiculously overpowered. Basically 'Sweeping Gunfire' kills almost everything. Even bosses later on.
As for the Warrior, one thing that's annoying is that I want to build dark side points, but a lot of the dark side dialogue choices are downright stupid, and the light side choice seems more Sithy. I do like that it gives you the choice, because I never quite understood why most of the Sith in the Star Wars 'verse are evil. There's plenty of room for good Sith in the mythos. I get that the Sith code is self-focused, but that doesn't mean evil. There are plenty of passionate good people in the world. It'd be harder to have an evil Jedi, but you could certainly have a cold, dispassionate neutral one.
It's telling that ALL of the non-Jedi stories are about cleaning up after the Jedi/Sith or about avoiding them entirely.The Imperial Agent plot even highlights how *difficult* the Sith make things in terms of keeping things running. Oh, you've been slowly working on turning a powerful gangster into an ally so he'll take down his boss and align his resources with the Sith in that sector? Too bad some Sith having a night on the town killed his son for kicks.
There won't be, because this game was bankrolled by Sony. But that's a conversation for another time (I actually have come around to thinking console exclusives can be a good thing)Let me know when there's a pc port. But nice pics.
I personally think the DLC is on par with, if not better, than the base game. Daud is just so much fun to play as.Put a whooping on my no kill playthrough of Dishonored.
Oh. My. God. Who. Could. Have. Predicted. Thaaat? Twist.
I am now going to play the DLC. And then maybe do a quick murder spree turbo high chaos run where I get to actually sink knives into all these pieces of shit.
Also, I can tell you this much, there are A LOT of guards going to get their own squad after last night.
My favorite thing to do was take a battery out of the electric wall, get a guard's attention, and then pop the battery back in just as he reached me.Put a whooping on my no kill playthrough of Dishonored.

Ha. That's hilariously appropriate.Oh yes. Darth Cartman.
Vader had a very different situation. Vader would probably have been a Light or Neutral Sith Immortal Juggernaut Warrior (literally, the designers said that's what they designed the class after). But he was a single apprentice to a master who needed a visible enforcer to invoke fear over the former Republic. The Sith Warrior in SWTOR is one of thousands in a thriving Sith civilization with an Emperor, Dark Council of Sith Lords, other Sith Lords and Masters, etc, all with their own ends in mind.
Yelling at Junpei is a moral imperative.I've been working my way through Persona 3 for months, mostly because I stop playing every time my daughter complains about how long I'm farming Tartarus. So I bought her Persona 3 Portable so she can use FeMC and leave me alooooone. All she does is sit downstairs and yell at Junpei now. (@Hailey Zero Mission may be the only one who understands this tweet)
Very often with Sith Warrior it's going to be "do we do this with intimidation and few needless deaths (Light Side), or do I just kill everyone (Dark Side)?"Interesting. I am playing a Juggernaut, actually.
I get the dichotomy in the light side and dark side choices in terms of game mechanics. I guess I'm being pedantic. Those are both dark side choices to me. They're only light side in game terms.
These days, adding your voice to a video game is the new Hollywood Squares.Susan Sarandon played Granny Rags?
Holy shit.
Here I was impressed that the game had Brad Douriff and Michael fucking Madsen (both of whom I could easily identify) in it and I read up that Lena Headey, Carrie Fisher and Chloe Grace Moretz all voice characters.
That's a helluva voice cast.
