danielpholt Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Played about 3 hours of Darksiders and almost threw my controller against a wall. The jumping mechanic in that game is horrible. It takes forever to realise I've jumped,leading to many a accidentle death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'm working on Killzone 2 right now. I think I'd enjoy it a lot more if I could use my 360 controller and adapter instead of the DS3 because of it's retardedly loose sticks and giant deadzones, but mandatory sixaxis actions make that impossible. Still liking it though. Feels similar to Call of Duty. I really wish I could set it to let me use the left trigger for iron sights though.

Eleven Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Finished Dragon Age 2. I liked it a lot! I'd say I wish there was more, but I think I've had enough of those maps... Next stop would probably be L.A. Noire. Hrm... or Darksiders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 lol, your avatar is Cole and you haven't even finished LA Noire? Yeah! The end was already spoiled for me. I doesn't bother me though. I did like Cole a lot when I played the game. I don't know why. I guess it's the suit... And my PSN avatar is also cole... so why not.

TheMightyEthan Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Skyward Sword. Good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Yeah, I really like it but just haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to it. I just beat the Lanayru Mining Facility, but I don't know where that puts me in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Finished Killzone 2 today, now I'm working on inFAMOUS. I liked Killzone 2 quite a bit, but there were a few parts where OH MY GOD, just give me another fucking checkpoint. I'm okay with games being hard, but I don't like it when failure at one part means I have to redo a long period before that part, over and over and over again. There was also one difficulty spike on the train involving a tank that made me want to stab someone, but other than that I really liked it. The train one wouldn't have been too bad if my ally was even remotely competent, but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 So far, finished Spec Ops: The Line. Still have Crysis 2 and Syndicate to finish, but at this point I'm not sure if I'll be able to. Considering just setting the difficulty to easy and blazing through them both, as there's no achievements tied to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Strike out Infamous. Going to finish up conquering territories then on to Infamous 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyGriever Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I hope I can finish either ME3, Gravity Rush or Catherine. Those are my top priorities right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Catherine is the shorter one, but it can get very hard near the end. Hard to the point where you can get stuck. Gravity Rush is about 12-14 hours and its pretty easy for the most part. ME3 should be saved til last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Yeah, I'd go with Catherine first, and then use Gravity Rush as the game you switch to when you get too frustrated with Catherine and have to take a break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Finished Infamous 2, so marked it out. Also added Dead Space 2. Not sure why I neglected to put it on there originally. *Edit* - Also straight-up removed a few games that I got for free from PS+ and so decided they don't really count toward my "backlog" since I didn't buy them. Infamous 1 & 2 should have been in that category, but I'm keeping them since I already finished them, and because I downloaded them because I actually wanted to play them, not just because of slight passing interest like the others.

TheMightyEthan Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Just took Sol Survivor off. I'm going to try to squeeze Bulletstorm in this weekend, but Sol Survivor will probably be my last entry for this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoshuke Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 So, as we near the end of this month of shameness, I thought I'd update you with news on the games I focused on finishing this month. I set out to finish three games by the thirty-first and have not held myself to that. For those of you who clearly care about this more then me I say: "... sorry?" Allow me to explain. Deus Ex: Human Revolution (PS3): I purchased this game at the start of the year. I began the game playing as a psuedo-pacifist stealthy dude (I would sneak about and try not to kill, but would if I was caught or surrounded) who dabbled in hacking. This was how I played until I lost interest and left it for a few months. Bad move. Upon picking it back up, I had forgotten most of the major and minor plot points, as well as the characters. This was not helped by having a newly acquired distaste for stealth gameplay, as I attempted to take a somewhat more traditional FPS approach to gameplay with a character who was not kitted out to do so. Needless to say, I grew tired within a few hours of play-time and abandoned it again. If I were to play this again, I'd start from scratch. At least that way I'd know what's going on. Half Life 2: Episode 1 (PC): I had gotten this game as a free achievement award during last year's (2011's) Steam winter sales. This game does not hold up. The objectives you're given for the first few chapters of the game are "Go here, talk to a dude for a while[rather, get talked to], go there." During my time playing this month, I played through the chapters Highway17 and some of Sandtraps, which are chapters substantially lacking in narrative, differing locations or anything remotely fun. Hell, that's pretty much a valid description of most of the game I played. I'm most certainly not going back to this game or the rest of it's series, even if the fabled 3 chapter/title-game comes out. Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery (iPhone): I'm unsure as to exactly when I picked up this game, but it was some time ago. Unlike the last two games, I really enjoy S:S&S. The only reason I have yet to finish it is that it literately takes an entire lunar month to play. Two of the items-of-high-import in this game can only be collected during the dark phase and light phase of the moon, which coincidentally line up with the middle and end of this month, respectively. Yes, I know I can just set my phone's date to match, but come on, this lines up way too well to 'cheat.' Since I've yet to finish it, and plan to in a couple of days, I'll reserve judgement.

TheMightyEthan Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Finished Bulletstorm. Quite unlikely I'll get any more games done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDex Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I think I'll be able to get The Last Story finished before August begins. I got stuck into it last night and played it until the wee hours of this morning. I battled through the final boss battles, dying right on the last sequence. At that point, I decided to turn it off and get some rest but that little push tonight should do the trick. I'm a bit disappointed by the length of the game, I have to say. I'm just closing in on 27 hours. Anyway, even though it's still been a pretty shameful month of gaming for me, I'll be happy to be able to put The Last Story back on shelf.

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I only finished Bastion. I did not come close on Skyward Sword, only beat the Lanayru mining facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I finished Spec Ops: The Line and it pretty much ruined Syndicate and Crysis 2 for me. I'll probably write a more indepth article about it when I get the chance, but travel is making it difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 How does one game ruin 2 other games that are in the same genre but not related? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 How does one game ruin 2 other games that are in the same genre but not related? It had an excellent story (Spec Ops), and Crysis 2 and Syndicate have bad stories. Couple that with terrible FOVs, bland shooting, and suddenly Crysis 2 and Syndicate sort of have nothing going for them. Not that Spec Ops: The Line had this fantastic gameplay or anything, but the story was good enough to easily make up for that. Crysis 2 and Syndicate, although they're not terrible, just seemed mediocre throughout, even though their mechanics were better than Spec Ops in some areas.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 In that case, what does that have to do with Spec Ops? They should be considered poor games on their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Spec Ops made him notice how bad they are, when previously he hadn't noticed that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
