I really didn't find Jason's transition that believable.  He ability to use and accurately fire assault rifles, bows, and pistols without any real training was impossible.  I find it much easier to have my game tell me my character is ex-military or something.

It wasn’t believable at all, but the game didn’t bludgeon you over the head with how unbelievable it was, which TR I felt did, with the cut scenes of her being wussy.

Oh I can't really compare the two since I haven't played TR, but I will say that the transition to Far Cry 4 is a bit odd.  The FC4 character is a straight killing machine with no explanation of his past experiences OR an attempt to fake character progression from 20 something returning son to hard killer.

No idea. Depending on your SC allocation, it’s sometimes better to just buy the new version. 17 SC vs 7.5k glimmer and 1 sc to exchange.

I've been dreaming about this for a year now. Is this real life?

You know that game they mention, Stellar Impact?

It's absolute garbage.

Just fyi. And no, this isn't Whitey being Whitey, the game is genuinely bad.
I thought he should act responsibly and just kill himself.

On FTL: I couldn't complete the rock cruiser achievements for ages, then did two on one run! Hurrah. So I can now get the C rock ship. Just the B version of the crystal ship to go!

Also, having two pegasus missile launchers is amazing. Would you like four missiles in your shield room, Mr Flagship? I suspect not.

Halberd people and teleporter are still some of my favorite things. Nothing feels better then killing all the weapons on the flagship.

I just need the crystal cruiser. Havn't even come close to unlocking it. Don't think Ive ever run into the random event for it.

I've done the crystal cruiser unlock quest at least twice! Once normally, then again as the rock cruiser for the achievement. It does take a lot of luck though.

Yeah, that one has pretty much the longest chain of requirements of any of the unlocks. Took me a loooong time until the stars finally aligned!

Wow, ok. I don't have time to raid so haven't been keeping up with it.

Loving Obsidian Mind though, insanity. Xur was so good last weekend.

 What's FTL? And has anyone heard anything about Sins of a Solar Empire? I've had that recommended to me but I'm not sure my laptop can handle it.....  :-(

Faster Than Light, a very cool Rogue Like game, where you are a captain of your own starship. I've heard that SoSE is a very good game, highly recommended.

FTL is amazing. Simply amazing.

I'm a fan of Sins of a Solar Empire but it is a REALLY long game. The beginning and start up especially take forever with very little happening unless you boost it so everyone get's resources and tech super fast.
