I have so much love for this game. SO MUCH.


Except for the occasional camera angle in a free-running puzzle that makes me go EERRGGGGGHHH. And the occasional mistyped subtitle. And the fact that it says stuff like "press (picture of "up" on a D-pad)" in the tooltips, when you don't HAVE a D-pad on a computer. It's not even the arrow keys.... :P

So, yeah. Minor complaints here and there, and occasionally I've run into those pathfinding things that make Wolfgang want to punch his monitor, but I be lovin dis gaem. And I just got the pistol and a 25,000F sword. SO I BE ROCKIN' NAO

Continues to impress, but the depraved sexuality in this game is just dumb. I love how it is described as being handled in a "more mature way" than the previous game. Ha, not hardly. That's probably my only major gripe with this game.

Never have I hated and enjoyed a game so much at the same time.

Love the game in general, other times... pathfinding and klunky camera angles make me nerdrage XD

Still fun. Saved up a million bucks so I could buy the cheat weapons crate...so worth it. XD My only problem is...I can't carry around the portable airstrike because the splash damage is so massive. O_o It'd kill civvies, and Alliance soldiers in the same shot that 'sploded a dozen NK Jeeps. It's...too big to use except in certain situations. The street sweeper (a chopper gun) and the pocket artillery though?

Yeah. Yeah, I can use those. XD

But the airstrike is sweeter.

This game is fulfilling that tactical shooter itch for me. Really good in someways, sort of clunky in others.

Played it about halfway, then stopped. Now I have no idea where to go or what's going on. Did the same thing with Breath of Fire II.

Have. To. Stop. Quitting. JRPG's. Halfway. Through. XD

Well, your new. Plus, I've been playing that game for over 200 hours.

- Mass Effect 2

Didn't realize after the _____________________________________________________ reformatting, I lost all saved games.

So, I'm playing all over again.

It's odd, you know, because comparing this game against Final Fantasy or most other JRPG's from that day, and it comes up short. but it does stuff that actually, in my eyes, surpasses them.

It's regionalization was done terribly, with typos, misspellings and grammars bad enough for me to notice. The controls are slow and clunky, and ala Phantasy Star, your party trails along behind you. But the game has replaced the death system I hate with something far better. Instead of playing for two hours without finding a save point (dungeon grinding, for example) and having a single sour battle killing all your hard work (which is spirit breaking), in this, if you die you appear back at the save point with half your money but with all your experience and items. To make this even better, there's an in-world bank that saves your money even if you do die.

Each character also has their own special abilities, with the lead character being able to fish, the katt lady breaking boulders and the monkey boy stretching his arms to reach across gaps.

Yet...it still feels cheap.

Beat the co-op with my sis, then watched her beat the single player. Such a great game :D

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

At times, I love this game (the crossbow.... so epic) but occasionally I feel like this is just Assassin's Creed II (a game I enjoyed immensely) with a couple changed elements/added features.


Maybe I should've played something else for a while so as to not feel overwhelmed by constant Assassin's Creedliness.

Either way, it's still a good game.

God of War II

Didn't get very far in this one. I started fighting the Colossus and died. So I gave up and watched Stargate instead. :P

and then

Bioshock 2. Man, I put this game down for awhile because I was distracted with L.A. Noire and The Witcher 2, but I've picked it right back up. The first games story and atmosphere were more engrossing, but I feel a better connection to this one. Plus, the action is better. :) Getting near the end now, so good.
