Finally she tells him that he needs to get out and steal a van of painkillers for her. He quickly runs out, wanting to please his mother and here you take over again, you have to find and steal the van.
I've finished most of it, the final mission before the credits was a bit of a fizzer, bet hey , you cant have it all.
I will try killing trev or mike next time just to see, the options presented for major heists and some missions make it a very re-playable game.
BTW, are you referring to the torture scene?
When you've done that you return to the trailer. But his mother is nowhere to be seen and she never returns again during the game. I (and most others) assume his mother was never there in the first place and it all happened inside his brain. Why? Dunno. Guilt maybe. Maybe he killed her?
Anyway, playing Batman Arkham Origins now. Also very nice, but a tad unoriginal after Arkham City.

There's definately some things I wouldn't do, but generally I think every town needs a Trevor or two

Ha, well, I happen to be 32 (for another full 7 days that is). Not Australian though.
That actually sounds damn old for an average gaming age. Maybe they also counted Solitaire and Candy Crush as games.

I turned 37 this month and I've been playing MMORPGs for maybe 15 years now. A huge number of players are married, with kids, in their 30s, with respectable jobs. This is common especially for what is known as the "raiders", the ones who play one or two nights a week in big multiplayer "raids" and are fairly serious about playing well and maximizing their efficacy to get better gear and to advance their characters.

I'm just saying the old stereotypes aren't all that true anymore.

I play EvE online and my corps has a nearing-retirement truck driver,
an ex-navy veteran, several middle aged family guys, as well as a few
collage and mid twenties bods, plus the odd teen.
So we have pretty much the full spread.
Would like a better gender balance, but sadly eve has been pretty poor at
attracting female gamers...
Don't know if its a community thing, or a lack of having any interaction on the
human scale as opposed to spaceship to spaceship... or both.

I was sadly disappointed by the various attempts at a Star Wars MMO, and so I heard the rather negative reviews of STO and never checked it out for myself. Never tried Eve Online either, even though I'm a huge sci-fi fan. I was really, really involved with City of Heroes before NCSoft pulled the plug about a year ago. I'm still in mourning for CoH. Far and away my favorite MMO of all time.
