No, I'm not dead...Or maybe I am...
Hello there gamers and internet creepers, I'm back and doing a...GameLog...? Whoa! Shocker, ain't it? And a continuation! A sequel! Hurrah.
Anyways, let's take a moment to think about where we left off on our last TLS GameLog...(Link: http://www.ablogforgamers.blogspot.com/2013/02/gamelog-last-story.html) I started the game and got through a few chapters, and ended right before going on this boat where they're keeping one of the main characters hostage. (Gurak Warship)
Well, I defeated the ship. It was pretty simple, except for the boss. The boss was...Ugh. One thing you HAVE TO HAVE if you want to play this game: Patience. There should be a warning on the box that says: "WARNING, patience is needed if you want to play this game...Otherwise, you'll jump off a bridge into a lake of fire."
Yeah. I thought about bridge jumping a lot during this game.
After about...Three hours of trying to beat this boss, I came out successful, of course. My group got the boat, and Lady Calista (Aka Lisa...Don't even complain about spoilers. It's extremely obvious and, yes, clichéd. I mean, the whole princess running away from her palace thing? Uhh, yeah.) joins you...Everything's dandy now. You're given random missions which, somehow, add to the plot. Like: Going out to explore this shipwreck, in which you learn more about one of the characters fathers backstory. I don't see how this is needed in the game in any way, but if I can slaughter some giant spiders and have a good time, it's all good. And dude, storyline additions?!?!?! Cut scenes?!?! I'm THERE.
There are two of these "Side quests" (Which aren't side quests because you have to do them), Yurick and Mirania. The latter is way more fun. At some point you're put into this maze...You have a very hard duty. You have to lure these skully Gurak, one by one, over to your group and kill them without drawing attention to the other. If one sees you, they summon uncountable numbers of backup, and you die. I'm a cocky gamer, I feel invisible in games. At that moment when I was told "Lure them one-by-one over or you'll die" I thought: PISH POSH, I'm a boss who can take these noobs.
So I just waltz out and let everyone see me, and die.
There is no way to win if you do it that way, take my advice. You have to, again, use patience and do it the right way. Although hard and at times annoying, it was wicked fun. Yes, I died many many times, but I had so much fun doing it. One of the highlights of the game, I'd say.
Moving on. With your awesome warship, you end up going into a Gurak military base. Once there you're thrown into multiple battle scenes, cut scenes, and lots of uneventful things in which I can hardly remember.
But then there's a plot twist. Let's just say...You end up in prison. Awesome, right? You're reunited with Syrenne and Lowell, who are SO far behind in levels it's ridiculous, (Because they've been absent for more then half the game) and you're introduced to Horace. He's a really interesting character, I quite like him. He's not a very good helper battle-wise, but you kinda get to boss him around at times. Total plus.
By now we're at Chapter Nineteen, so as you can tell, I've covered a lot of ground in the...months...I've not done a GameLog. And I'm not done, so let's move right along.
At the moment, I'm stuck on a side-quest in chapter 21. (Yes, I did somewhat of a skip...For spoiler purposes. You're welcome) The boss, Lesser Shade, is AWFUL. The only thing you can hit him with is fire, so you rely almost fully on Yurick's fire magic, but NO, THAT'S NOT ALL! Lesser Shade also can possess one of your teammates and heal himself(And kill said teammate). It takes so much patience that I don't have, that I can only get him to not heal himself 30% of the time. So it turns into this never ending cycle...Oh wait, it does end, because then I die. ERMAGERSH.
It's brutal. I've put in a good three hours to this guy. Am I the only one that has so many troubles with this game? Who knows. Maybe I just suck. The game is still overly awesome, so I'm not complaining too much.
Thanks for reading! The next GameLog might take this long, it might not, who knows? I sure as Gurak don't.
