I started tonight and beaten Darkness II though I think I need to go through New Game + and fight the real last boss else it would be quite a crap ending...

Overall though, it was a fun enough game. The controls were a bit funky and there is a chance to get stuck before the gremlin's movement is poorly mapped but it was enjoyable.

 

 

Edit:I guess there is no fight?

All I'm imagining now is a kawaii-desu moe moe MetalCaveman. Anyways...

 

Mirror's Edge.

 

So the Alt key made it so I can get pass the first level plus I have more motivation to figure stuff out. Overall it is a fine game. Not great though since the controls can be off at times. Also.. yes, I got pissed off at the snipers and the swarms of enemies, so I gunned them down. Pretty much proves what kind of trouble maker I could be if the government pull this shit and push me... with that said, hello NSA.

Devil May Cry 4. Guess I was more than halfway through when I mentioned it in the currently playing thread cause I finished it like 20mins ago. 

 

Overall, I enjoyed it. Like I said, it feels really dated when compared to more recent games. But I was really into the series back in the day (Dante's Awakening is probably in my top 10 games ever), so I didn't mind.

 

Dante's missions are the best part of the game but they feel oddly superfluous. Like they were originally going to make the game only about Nero and someone stepped in and made them give Dante a bigger role. As Dante, all you really do is go back through the same levels, only this time backwards, refight the same bosses that Nero didn't finish off and collect their weapons and just make it back to the beginning of the game for the final boss fight. What feels weird is that throughout the game Nero hasn't been collecting any new weapons but here you collect an entire game's worth of weapons in only about half a dozen missions. It basically all boils down to a fetch quest that feels like padding and fan service rather than a necessary part of the story. But hey, you get to play as Dante, so whatever!

 

Now I really need to play the reboot.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I didn't mind Nero while I was playing as him but it was kinda weird. When I realized that I wasn't collecting any new weapons, I thought that kinda sucked. But the Devil Bringer arm was kind of really useful in combat so I figured that was the trade-off. And then when I switched to Dante I actually missed the Devil Bringer at first. But once I started playing with Dante's different fighting styles from DMC3 and got back into the old style of play, I started really having fun and realized just how boring playing as Nero actually was.

 

Like I said, I enjoyed the game. But I can see why it killed the series and they felt the need to reboot.

The Last of Us. 

There's been so many great games this generation. Red Dead Redemption, Uncharted 2, Super Mario Galaxy, Fallout 3/NV, Mass Effect 2, Assassins Creed Brotherhood, I'd even put Bioshock Infinite in that list, but I think, and this is really fresh, I need some time to digest it, but I think The Last of Us might be my favourite. It's really good. I was expecting climbing, shootouts, and puzzles like Uncharted, but it wasn't like that at all. In my opinion, the perfect review scores are completely justified. I'll post more thoughts in the TLoU thread. But this game is awesome, everyone should play it.

The Walking Dead.

 

 

:(

 

 

Really good stuff. Gripping, tense, harrowing, moving, shocking; it never lets up. I talk about 'pace' a lot when it comes to games/films/TV shows, and this does it really well. I really dug even the subtle little ways that your choices were recognised ("Manure!") even though it seems a lot of the major stuff has no impact BEYOND THAT ON YOUR SOUL.

 

 

Wasn't too fond of the 'stranger' plot overall. Felt a bit too forced, when the game already had a knack for a more natural story progression. Also felt a bit let down by seeing how little certain choices actually mattered in the bigger picture, but that's meta-gaming anyway...

 

Also, I was a little unsettled by the fact that, effectively, I still needed to help Clementine in the end. Not sure if that was a deliberate game choice or just a bad design decision...

 

And I was hoping there would be a pay-off with how useless Ben (and I suppose Kenny, in my game) had been. Nope, just another gut punch/puncture

 

 

p.s. do I really want to play The Last of Us next? Can my poor heart take it? :unsure2:

Just beat Ni No Kuni. Just a bit over 70hrs. Beat all the sidequests right up to the end of the main quest. 

It was the most fun I've had with a Jrpg in a while. 

Hope to see a spirtual successor in the near future. Loved the whole "pokemon/familiar" thing.

Story....eh....could have been better. A fuckton of a lot better.

Shadow of the Colossus.

 

I beat Ico when I first bought the HD collection but I couldn't get into SotC at the time, for some reason. I spent the first hour fighting with the controls and got kinda frustrated with it at first, but overall it's still as good as I remembered. A bit shorter, though. Only took me about 7h and there's a solid 30mins of that that was basically just me falling off the last fucking Colossus non-stop like a retard.
