The Gaming Diary: Chapter 2

[Izret101]

Finished Dragons Lair for its birthday.

Happy 30th Dragons Lair.

Pocketbike Racer (Xbox) - This is actually kinda fun.

[Necrosaro]

I Platinum'd Sleeping Dogs last night. 6th Platinum overall. Really an underrated gem of 2012.

Viewtiful Joe is kicking my butt. Capcom platformers are so hard for me.

Debating over whether to play Saints Row: The Third because I'm burned out on timesink RPGs.

[techwizard]

started my survivor playthrough of The Last of Us. i'm intentionally trying to make it harder for myself by turning off all hint systems and the "listen mode" that you use with R2. it's made it more challenging for sure, but the lack of listen mode isn't too bad because having just finished the game, i already know the enemy locations well enough.

Roll In The Hole (WP7) - With the internet down while moving, time to put some work into this!

Debating over whether to play Saints Row: The Third because I'm burned out on timesink RPGs.

There's no debate. If you think Sleepy Dogs was good (and I agree that it was), Saint's Row blows it out of the water. The only reason to wait is to not have sandbox burnout.

As for me I'm still working on Atelier Totori.

Fuse (360) - Finished. The final boss is hard due to the bad pathing of the AI. The final battle takes place in a circle and your allies would constantly get stuck. I honestly had more fun with Army of Two the Devil's Cartel.

Metro Last Light (360) - Working my way through, and it's one of my favorite games this year. The atmosphere and story go a long way to making this game work. If you can grab the PC version cheaply I highly recommend it over the 360 version as the graphics are greatly improved.

Really loving Dragon Age. That is all.

I've been meaning to get back to Origins. My first playthrough I remember finding the game boring, but I'm told that had a lot to do with how I was playing.

Hmm, don't really think there is a wrong way of playing it... well with a guide would be joyless, but outside of that.

Just beat Streets of Rage 2. Man, I love this game.

Mostly I had been building my character wrong and it was making the game needlessly cumbersome. I have a better idea of what I'm supposed to be doing now.

Ahh, I see. Well best of luck with your playthrough. I finally finished Origins last night... personally for me, it was one of those few games that I was really sad to end.

So, finally started Sleeping Dogs. Can't say I find the story very interesting, but I guess there is something to be said for a sandbox full of toys.

Just finished Bastion to get the second ending.  Never fails to move me.  Back to Thomas Was Alone, I think.

[GrayGhost81]

I "finished" Atelier Totori today.

And by "finished" I mean I got the bad ending after slowly painting myself into an inescapable corner over the past two weeks over about 22 hours of play time. Fuck.

Debating over whether to play Saints Row: The Third because I'm burned out on timesink RPGs.

Just completed it, great fun but if anything a bit short took about 30 hours with 92% completion and that's including a lot  arseing blowing up cops and doing stunts.
