Haha, yeah, I was borderline trolling by calling it God's controller.

 

I'll just say that I find the 360 controller much more comfortable, and I like the feel of the sticks and triggers better, but I don't think you're wrong for liking the DS3 better. :P

*ignores imminent shitstorm argument*

 

 

... Modern Warfare 3

 

I actually tried starting it last week and the very first mission gave me this overwhelming feeling of "Ugh, I played this fucking game multiple times before!!" and promptly quit.

 

Then yesterday I didn't feel like playing Skyrim, so I fired it up to give it another shot. This time I somehow managed to get into it a bit more and finished the first mission. I kept playing and about five missions in something unexpected happened: I realized I was having a blast.

 

Maybe my expectations were simply too low because of Modern Warfare 2, but I think the game is a shitload of fun. They really cranked up the "crazy thrill ride" factor, and that's what I like most about the series. It seemed like every other mission made me giggle and grin like an idiot because of how ridiculously insane, over-the-top and downright fucking badass it all was.

 

It probably also helped that they replaced the "regular soldier" part of the campaign with a fucking Delta Force squad. I'm easy to please when it comes to this: put me in the role of a special ops guy and make me go through missions that make me feel like a complete badass and I'll have fun simply getting into character. ...unless the game is too easy and kinda boring... *cough* Medal of Honor *cough*

 

It's by no means a perfect game nor does it breathe new life into the series. It's not as good as COD4 (which I don't think the series is ever going to top anyway) and they break new ground in the art of having a ridiculously short campaign (main menu says I completed it in 5h12mins! ). But it's nowhere near as stupid as MW2 and I thought it was a lot of fun.

 

Really glad I didn't buy it, though. I'm probably the last person on earth who still plays COD for the single-player, so with no interest in MP, there's really no way to justify paying 60 bucks for this.

Only way I'll be buying this is the same way I bought MW2: two years later, for 15 bucks on Steam. :P

 

And now, just because holy shit

 

SSOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAPPPP, NOOOO!!!! :(

 

At first I laughed when I saw I was playing yet another new protagonist. I figured I'd get yet another first-person POV death scene and revert to Soap for the final few missions. But then they fucking killed Soap right before my fucking eyes!! Did NOT expect that.

 

Also, I actually gasped when I realized I was playing the last level as Price. That was just awesome.

Other than that, I loved how it neatly ties all three games together.

 

 

 

Oh, and the Dualshock is the best controller, period. :P

I completed Homefront in slightly less than 4 hours. ;)

Yeah...well...your mum!

 

 

Wasn't there also an old video of someone completing Morrowind in like..15 minutes, or something?

I cut you!

 

Just kidding. Anyways, let's all agree that nintendo-snes-controller.png is the best controller ever.

Now I can't decide whether to go back to Skyrim or to start in on Arkham City. :/

 

You will now go play Wind Waker ... and fucking LOVE it! ;)

 

As for me, well I can add Pikmin 2 (New Play Control version) to the list. Wow! the Wii controls made a great game even better! Where's my Pikmin 3, Nintendo?!

 

My current quandary is whether to go back to Sonic Colors, start Skyward Sword or actually start Atelier Rorona. I really wish I had more time ...
