The Daily Grind - Day Twenty Eight

Morning,
How goes every one's weekend? hopefully you been getting plenty of gaming in like myself. Well got to say I'm please so far with the fact I clocked Uncharted and half way through Green Lantern, hoping to finish it off today and I will then trade it in. After that I've got my rental game Thor to do as well as all the summer challenge games I've got listed, thinking one of the PC games to be honest. Either Starcraft 2, Bulletstorm, Dawn of War 2 Retribution or Fable 3. Also do have some pick up games to finish off like Where the Wild Things are on PlayStation 3, X-men official game with one achievement left and Pirates of the Caribbean Worlds End with one achievement left as well. So plenty to do afterwards, just no Idea where I will start...anyway I'm going to jump straight into Green Lantern, no time like the present.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So if you remember from my last post last night I was opening a series of doors and died which put me back at the start, this time I took my time and now opened the main door and entering the main chamber for which I'm guessing is the boss fight with the queen again. Got to say the two mace power is the best for controlling groups of enemies, been a life saver the last few fights.

Level 6 finished, boss fight was pretty cool basically the queen merged with a giant well statue. Anyway now on my way to Biot to rescue one of are friends who is missing there.

Just making my way across several levels, a moment ago just finished off another Ultra Manhunter. While I'm playing keep making sure to do the upgrades since they make a lot of difference, in fact just found one awesome upgrade that I'm getting next. When in ring surge mode you get unlimited energy for your attacks, well you can get upgrades that increase damage, reduce damage taken etc while in that mode. Anyway there is a second upgrade for the reduce damage that makes you invulnerable while in ring mode, score!

Got the upgrade and it is awesome, just go into ring surge mode and Gatling gun everything without worry of damage. Anyway I'm going in circles since I'm back at the start again but on a higher level this time, then back down to where I took on the Ultra. Honestly the levels look exactly the same, from the looks I will be going back to the Ultra area again.

Back at that area again and just shooting down floating mines, picked up another upgrade that allows me to refill the ring surge meter faster. LMAO just took on two Ultras and just went into ring surge mode, they stood no chance and now level 9 thanks to that.

Just died trying to open the third gate and back to the start with the two ultras again, this can be very annoying. Right defeated them both the hard way and got the last ring surge upgrade to give me more time in that mode. Woah just got level 10 on the top floor! so maxed level now as well.

Boss fight against the Grandmaster, was able to open all the doors with the perfect timing of the ring surge mode. Really does make all the difference, if you do decide to get this game put all your upgrade points into it. Took a while and he was tough but was able to get him down, found out the traitor which shocked me to be honest was expecting him. Anyway just finished upgrading all the basic attacks so now putting points into the constructs.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Another level down but this time it was a flight one and the boss fight was horrible, basically you was just taking on another Ultra Manhunter but you pushed close. Imagine playing a flight sim but the plane is pretty much stuck against a wall, you cannot aim with the guy because of the angel so just have to pray that the missile lock will work.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Just had a huge break and spent some time with my dad watching tv, so back now and time to finish. According to my achievements I'm on level 9 of 10 so pretty much in the end game now and currently have 505 gamerscore so far. Will have to go back and mop up while finish off purchasing the missing upgrades but should not be too hard.

Making my way through the level trying to find Kilrogg or what ever his name is, just unlocked the missile pack construct so now working on the x kills with it for the achievement.

Took out the second generator to open some kind of vault door and had one small bar of health left, one hit and would be down. Made it through several groups and got some health back only to die to an attack from a group with a fighter aircraft backing them up. Of course made it through the next time since I knew what to expect and now currently heading down a huge evaluator with tons of manhunters attacking me in groups so spamming the mace attack. Just purchased the mech suit construct, good as time as any to get the x kills for it.

Just got completely wiped out by three ultras! and it puts me right back up at the top again...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Made it down this time but was ready so kept my ring surge ready...what the hell two huge ultra, well lets call them grandmasters in a way just attacked.

Right here we go going into the central area now and I can see one huge manhunter in the background. Kilowog is the name of the green lantern and hes powering the so called "Highmaster". Oh that's great, boss fight and if you move the giant fans around the area take up the whole screen so your blind! good development, ever heard of alpha and beta testing.

Seems to only happen when in co-op since the camera has a limit thanks to the second player, makes it a lot hard to dodge for both of us. Auto aim is shit, keep trying to find throw bombs at the boss but at the last second hal will decide to turn and throw at my coop buddy...

Done it finally, bloody hell they really should had tested this game in coop because the camera can go badly at the wrong times, hell that boss battle was unplayable at most points. Anyway time for the last level and to end this game.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Died at the end of the second stage of the fight, doing feck all damage to him and he takes out 40% of your health per hit and block does not work.

Lmao ok so made it through the three stages and just barely on the last bit then the sound dies...yup no sounds just the talking voices so no stomping or fighting sounds. Now having a giant mech battle and its just weird without sound, sound came back half way through the battle at least and the mech battle was actually quite cool in the end. So that's the game completed, well the story anyway so time to go back and clear up the missing collectibles and x amount kills with certain constructs.

Only a few meteorites are missing so that's cool, ah dinner is ready be right back!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Good lunch, now on mission three cleaning up and just picked up my first green meteorite which was the last one I needed which was cool. Just two blue left to go, one here and one on the level 9.

Just picked up the first blue meteorite and now loading up level 9 to get the last one, after that I just need 100k points to get the last upgrade and that's the game fully 100% clocked.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Had another break and went to watch a film, currently now on my 6th play through of level five in which I'm just grinding out upgrade points. So far its the fastest way I've found and only need four more to finish off.

And done! 1,000g for Green Lantern, which now brings me up to two games finished this weekend so a job well done. Of course I then look at my collection and groan realising I got ton still to go, but least I'm getting there. Think it's time to update all my stats for my progress this year and the challenges, so be right back.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Just updated the progress and now standing on 31 games completed but my percent for new releases only increased by one so still sitting on 26% so really could do with knocking out a few new games next really. On the ways of my Golden Key challenge I'm close to getting Level 12, sitting on a nice 36% for the fourteen old games as well. But still got a long way to go for the rest of the goals, my gamer score goal is dragging thanks to the massive PlayStation marathon I've been having lately.

Still in two minds on what to play next so I think I will take advantage of this free time to do some updates on the site that have been waiting, first up changing that countdown timer since E3 ended ages ago. Going to set it to the first release of the massive load of games that are coming out later this year, right now that starts with Deus EX on the 26th August.

Ok that's up now and running, currently got 60 days left! not much time to get my summer challenge finished really. So what next can I do for the site....hmmm where is that list I put together, think it's on the iPad hang on!

Ah ha! right first up going to finally put up a post about E3, if you remember I did post a while back saying what I hope to see at the conferences. Well time to go back and see what came true and what did not, from the looks a lot of the stuff I was hoping for came true but there was a few things that did not happen but oh well.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well forgot to do the daily Lord Ahune quest in Warcraft, feck! probably the day I would got something knowing my luck. Did have a huge session on WOW though with my mate Matt again, this weekly thing is great and hopefully be doing it more often then a Sunday Night. We got up to level 12 and now finished with the starting zone and in the real world.

Goblin starting zone is without a doubt the best zone I've played in a long time, from giant mechanical chickens to zombies, to mechanical shark submarines and rocket boots. Every minute you was doing something wacky that only a Goblin would come up with and we blew up a volcano and destroyed an island! That's a fun night

Anyway off to bed so catch you in the morning, have a good one!
