Time to take on the Edy Detachment’s various skirmish map challenges, which is actually pretty cool since I haven’t actually played any of them before. With each map, things get more and more interesting with various scenarios thrown at you based around each character class.
Stopped the Star Wars: X-Wing playthrough indefinitely. Can’t keep the ship steady any more, the drift caused by my joystick is getting worse. Next Thursday, I start Dead Island on #twitch
Things are getting a hell of a lot more difficult are I near the end of the fourth tour of duty. In a two hour period, I only manage to beat two levels which is pretty slow compared to how I was going earlier on in the game.
Edy is annoying as all hell and so is her “Enter the Edy Detachment!” mission. The only good part about it is the fact that Lynn, Jann and Marina are there, making them the only competent characters in the roster.
Spent quite a few hours on getting this game finished all over again and got A ranks on all the story missions including every report. Unfortunately, because I’ve finished the game over again, I kinda have to go through at least SOME of the missions all over again…
We’re close to the end here with this game, yet still so far… I’m pretty sure I’m on the final missions of Tour IV, but there’s still another full tour of duty to complete after that which will feature plenty of B-Wing action, I’m sure.
Getting back into the cockpit, I’m starting to pay around with some of the strange tips that the game has been giving me. Who knew that NOT shooting down an enemy ship would help you?
New Game+ begins! I’ll be going through the entire game, skipping all the cutscenes but aiming for A ranks on all missions, skirmishes and DLC content as well as grabbing all the enemy ace gear, etc to get myself a 100% completion rate on the entire game.
I spent the entirety of today’s session finishing off this game, however… it’s not over yet! This is a 100% completion playthrough of the game, which means I still have plenty left to do. I need to go back over all those missions and get A ranks for them…
Going through Tour of Duty IV and I’m noticing that there are a hell of a lot of escort missions in this expansion… as in, every mission is an escort mission of some kind. Then you have another interesting change during mission 6…
Off stream, I spent a day grinding some experience points and getting all of my soldiers up to their max levels… all so I can focus more on the actual story and getting through things without having to stop and grind live. I’ve managed to get a few more recruits as well…
