Yep, so did me and my friend, and you're right, even the last boss was a joke.
It really doesn't feel like I've accomplished anything because of the lack of difficulty.
We're replaying it on Nightmare now though, and the enemies are a lot tougher!
We're in the beginning of Act I and have actually died a couple of times already! :eek:

Currently playing Disgaea 4... I've been playing for 5 hours and apparently I've already finished the game once, dafuq is this lol. Turns out it's one of the alternate endings if you lose against Emizel... started again on my second cycle though, and I'm gonna' get a few levels and buy new equipment for everyone, since I was only focusing on Valvatorez and Fenrich.

---

Right, so I levelled up a little, bought new equipment for people, and killed Emizel, it was really easy afterwards lol, and my stats were almost doubled (Well, my HP and Attack anyway) on both Valvatorez and Fenrich, along with a Male Fighter.

I'm a few fights into Chapter 2 now, and I'm really enjoying it (Even though I'm not too far), partly due to Valvatorez being a pretty cool character, much better than Mao from Disgaea 3, for a start his voice isn't annoying (Mao's voice got annoying after the first few hours of hearing it, lol), and aside from his obsession with sardines, he isn't as crazy or over the top as Mao was (Even though that might be a bad thing for some people, since Disgaea is pretty much over the top with just about everything it does... but when it comes to characters and dialogue, there's a limit)

Also, I'm loving the new sprites for everyone, and it's great that they've given you the option to back to the classic style (There's actually a trophy to have 5 fights in a row with the classic sprite style), along with giving the character illustrations more life in the cutscenes, they actually move a whole lot more now, which is really cool too.

So I just checked my bank and was like "Dafuq?! £35 has just... vanished!" but then I realised it was from Zavvi... I forgot that Dragon's Dogma comes out on Friday here and I've had it preordered for a few weeks now, lol... I got an email from them too saying they've sent it off now, so I'll have it either tomorrow or the day after, I hope it's tomorrow since it's another day off for me, and I'm working all day on Wednesday D:

After I finish Disgaea 4 (I'll just finish the story, I'll come back to the post game later on, although I've still been grinding inbetween fights anyway) I'll jump into it methinks

Still playing Diablo III, and.... WoW, for the first time since Cata came out :l
It's kind of confusing but I'm starting to get into it again, I might just keep playing.

So just as I came downstairs today... shirtless, someone knocked at the door, it was the post woman (I say woman... she's actually new.. and young, she's like 18 (Still in college so yeah I assume that age)), and she gave me four packages...

1) A new case for my Vita, since I desperately needed one
2) Tales of the Abyss
3) Dragon's Dogma
4) Max Payne... WITH A FREE TSHIRT! :biggrin:

So I put the tshirt on right there and tadaa, I don't have to go digging through the ironing pile for a tshirt that I'd have to iron before I could put on.
 
I stopped playing diablo III and played some anno 2070 because it was on sale for 50% off and i had to buy it~

Its a really fun game. I love how the premise of city building is so simple with the interface and how everything works. At first I didnt think i was going to like it because it seemed too easy but the game is surprisingly deep and there is a bunch to do. I played a continuous game and I got some 4th level ecos all on one of my islands and now im working on my techs on another island.

I almost got hit by a tornado too. It went through both of the computer players town center and it literally was on both of my islands shore (I had to expand because the main island didn't grow wheat and i already used my fertility for vegetables x:)

So far its a really cool game and i think i might like it better than sim city 4 (which is tough as balls) and Tropico (which i could never really get into for some reason).

Anno is a pretty cool game, but for some reason I can't seem to get into 2070.
I keep going back to 1404, I guess it's because I like the timeframe better.
 
I bought Anno 2070 as well, but the CONSTANT bleeping reminders drive me INSANE. Also, IDK, I feel less like I'm in control over crap that happens. Like I do a thing b/c they recommend I do it, and then a bunch of things happen that I can't really explain the why's for, and then the task is complete. Very strange.

Being able to dive underwater is pretty boss, but it never feels like there's enough to do under there. Like it's just a really pretty, but pointless, gimmick.
 
Also in case anyone is like "wow im looking for a city simulation game to play but hrm dunno what to pick blah blah", seriously buy tropico 4

it is

so fun ;o;

i just bought the expansion (Modern Times) and the little DLCs for it too
sofun :O

also, you will NEVER be able to get the music out of your head

It's enough like Tropico 3 that they may have been able to just get away with making it a very very large expansion. But they seriously improved on all of 3's shortcomings. The HUD is better, the interactions and story are more clever/lighthearted/silly, and the US and USSR are WAY less of gigantic assdicks. They also have alleviated the pressure to have an extremely large army ... In 3, if you didn't have a decent army, you were pretty much fucked, but in this one, if you're a diplomacy magnate or you shower your people with happytimes, there is MUCH less, if any, rebellion.
You can also "level up" your El Presidente's traits.

I make all my little people sing my name from the rooftops with glee, so rebellion is seldom any worry for me.
But if you like to be a real tyrant dicknose, and rule with fear, there's plenty of opportunity, in many nasty ways. You can even convert old temples and landmarks and turn them into torture dungeons :x.
And you can set it so that even if your people live in misery & squalor, they can't ever leave, and so long as you have a devoted army, you can keep all those pendejos in check.

Those Pokemon games are so challenging. I always yield to the temptation to give EACH AND EVERY ONE one of the little bastards an obscene nickname, and after about midgame or so, it gets hard to keep coming up with novel ones.
