Now I feel sorry for them. I was being contrary. They weren't terrible. Overpriced I think though. And Death Mode is so retarded.Quote:

I punched one in the face and they all ran. Parts of that game were REALLY difficult to play through.Quote:

#49 - Bayonetta (360)
Played through twice on normal to get all the hidden shit and powerups, about halfway through hard but there's way too much to play this month to get hung up on this. Incredible action game. Having skipped DMC 2, 3, and 4 this feels like a natural progression for the game type and the unofficial sequel. Definitely will be coming back to this from time to time.
#50 - Lumines: Electronic Symphony (Vita) 100% Trophies
Started off as "oh, it's just Lumines," but eventually got really into it. Pretty easy to dismiss the game unless you go back and try the first or second PSP releases and realize what a big graphical leap it actually is. Let's face it, at least 75% of this shit is music and presentation. Kinda felt a little bare bones without the puzzle modes.
Forza Horizon - Just finished the single player campaign - took about 10 hours, and I've still got a lot of side things to do like street races that I'll probably do, and then there are things like OCD achievements I probably won't.
Finally finished Rage for 360 - well worth the $19.99.
#11 - Diablo III - beat it on normal with a demon hunter. I liked it well enough, I never beat D2 because I found it unengaging but this game has a really decent combat system. I'm really in no rush to play it through again. Especially not on normal with a new character. Maybe after 1.0.5 comes out.
Yakuza: Dead Souls (PS3)
I was harsh on this game in its thread, but that's only because it comes so very close to being good and then falters where it counts. It has its funny moments, it has its poignant moments. But the combat stinks, getting around is a chore, and everything down to liquor descriptions is copypasta from Yakuza 4. That last part is key. Even if I wanted to look past the broken core mechanics, the lack of attention to detail that so charmed in previous titles just isn't here. That's a shame.
Alan Wake (360)
Played the main game and the DLC episodes. Loved everything but the stupid birds.
Infinity Blade II (iOS)
Sometimes more of a good thing makes the good thing not so good. And fuck any game that makes IAP gold more or less a requirement for superior gear. I'm proud to say I didn't bite.
Resonance (PC)
Did you know that personal computers can be used for interactive entertainment? I'm rediscovering that in 2012. Anyways, this is an average at best point-and-click. It shakes things up a little bit with its "memory" system and character swapping. I admire the effort, even if it the execution falls flat at times. It's cheap, though, so if you're a fan of the genre it might be worth your time.
Alan Wake's American Nightmare (360)
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I liked it more than the original. I'm a sucker for anything in an American Southwest setting (hello, New Vegas), and it's over before the combat has a chance to feel repetitive.

65. LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes (Vita)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...uperHeroes.png
Craving them Vita games, got this by breaking a 10. It's alright. Mostly for the gf, but why the heck not. Never really been into the LEGO games much (save the two I work) but this one was alright. Some ugly 3DS compressed videos they just slammed to a bigger screen, but the gameplay is the same fare as in every other game. Break things to pieces then, build build build. The character swapping in NG+ is pretty neat. Makes some levels have a 'vania feel to them, save that your skills are just more DC characters.
66. Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...fCybertron.png
Beaten on Normal, sided with Optimus (TILL ALL ARE ONE). I liked it. Playing this made me realize how truly spoiled we are to play games that look so magnificent, but because we live in a fast paced digital era, we get wowed by them and forget about them the week after. Solid run and gun mechanics, far more varied locations and types of missions than in War for Cybertron (they did their homework). Not a big fan of playing this multiplayer, but the fact they focused on it at all is commendable. This one's a keeper...
67. - 72 Mega Man 1 through 6
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../67MegaMan.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...68MegaMan2.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...69MegaMan3.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...70MegaMan4.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...71MegaMan5.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...72MegaMan6.png
Had nothing to do one night and the gf was asleep after we watched some Gamecenter CX, so I got all nostalgic and fired up the Anniversary Collection of the Blue bomber games for PS2 and gave the first one a run. Surprisingly beat it in one sitting (I never did before). Since that night I kept playing through the series until I beat the 6th game and took a little break (the whole NES series took me about a week to storm through. Sadly, playing them back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back makes you see the similarities much more profoundly. The same template of x villain's several bosses to their castle, to several forms of the final hit, to B-level twists that are embarrassing, all for the sake of gameplay over quality of storytelling (which is not the point). Surprisingly, I grew up always adoring 2 the most (as the general public seems to also believe), but after this most recent 8-bit blitz, I find 3 is my favourite by a long shot. Just the right amount of new tricks, bells and whistles and all the bosses are more interesting, even if the original 8 from MM2 are pretty iconic.
That said, I am never doing this shit again. I actually used to dislike the original MM games as a teen because I just never found them that fun. Much bigger fan of the X and Z games. And that's my two cents on this. I might start the MM8 demake some day Looks very accurate.
73. Tekken Tag Tournament 2
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ournament2.png
Platinum. 682 matches. Lars and Lili. Unlocked 48 of the 50ish endings. Insanely fun, just, it's a fighter, so your attention span on it can only stay on it for so long. Fantastic soundtrack. Some pretty pretty visuals. Not enough praise for all the animations in this, even if some are re-used things from 3. Perhaps my favourite Tutorial in a fighting game (Practice is pretty swell, too). Overall a lot of love went in this (even the WTF stuff is pretty admirable). Overall great great great. Reached 31st Dan with Lars and called it a day, taking a tiny break.
74. Resistance: Burning Skies
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...rningSkies.png
Platinum. I never played any of these Resistance games before. I don't exactly like the setting and don't find much original of aliens attacking Earth, only in a much older and alternate setting. I see the potential, but it's just not there to me. Picked this up since it was on sale (and I see why now). It isn't terrible. It even looks alright in some spots. Controls are pretty great for a handheld. Mostly wanted to see/feel what an FPS with two sticks felt like. It was this or Unit 21. Can't say either are really my thing. Traded it in moments after finishing it for credit for Adventure Time 3DS.
75. Marvel Super Heroes
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...uperHeroes.png
Not much to say here. Nostalgic stuff. Got Marvel vs. Capcom Origins. Love Iron Galaxy. Beat it with all characters. Then played it some more.
76. Ninja Gaiden
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...injaGaiden.png
Beat it in one sitting. I hate birds.
77. Ninja Gaiden II
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...jaGaidenII.png
Was very tempted to just play the Ryukenden series instead, but being hard-headed has its issues. Beat this the next day.
Are you talking about the NG+ stuff? I never did that because I first wanted to max out one of every piece of equipment for the stats, but for the normal mode IAPs aren't needed at all. I ended up with pretty much the best of everything just getting the main ending and a little extra grinding.Quote:
