Just finished Alter Aila Genesis


Okay by finished I mean story I'm probably 5% of total game and secrets completion fssssssssss
Dear shitting lord there are so many goddamn secrets. I have like no clue how to do anything, either. Also wish the story didn't end on such a note, although it ended awesomely how it did.




Replaying/refinishing Tales of Eternia on expse. It's absolutely ASTOUNDING how many secrets I missed the first (couple) times I played through it, and I got past level 100 + 9999 hp + 999 tp on various characters. From secret bosses to dungeons to skills (what hell those skills) to lens (although I knew) to just STUFF.
Once I finish it I'll redo it on hardcore mode for the challenge. It's gonna be massively hard with little payoff, but hey, that's what grinding is for.



Prototype 2. For some reason I don't find it as fun as prototype 1. Something about movement feels clunkier. :F




Played a little bit more of super meat boy. Fun. Just not all my style for more than 10 minutes.





I plan to play some of Starless Umbra, Destiny's Blades, Everlong (storymode naturally fuque th9at grind), and The Way (mostly story mode). Rm2k3 greats, classics, and even a unique failure in there. Brainstorming/stealing various puzzles and ideas from those to get inspired and use them in the game I'm developing, as well as see how they implemented the extras into theirs.
 
Just beat Vampire arc of [Skyrim] Dawnguard. Considering playing Dawnguard arc with my other character.

Less fun than the Shivering Isles expansion, but isn't bad. The follower you get in the vampire arc is pretty good.

Being a Vampire Lord ... It's more powerful than being a werewolf, but has the same limit of not being able to access the inventory or your shouts etc., and you also can't interact with anything other than levers or doors, so I feel like there's little point. You can level it up, but so many people are required to absorb (note: you can't just bite sleeping NPCs to level, you have to absorb them AS a Vamp Lord), it feels pointless to even morph. I'm playing on Master as a level 40-something, so very few things are easy enough to absorb as a Vamp Lord without being able to heal with spells or potions, so I can't level it.

So basically it just forced my character to have immunity to poison & such, have cool glowing eyes, a nifty/cost-less Night Eye, but ... Little other benefit. Weighed against being VERY weak to fire damage, universally hated after 5 days without drinking blood, and lacking the ability to regen HP, MP, or Fatigue while out in the sun. (Lame.)

Maybe someone'll mod it to actually being useful.

im playing too many games right now @.@ im trying to hit 4k trophys and the end of the year....

Plats are the only trophies that matter my friend. ;)

Anyways, I''m playing Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning.
And after getting used to the fact that there is no jumping button (WHY?) this game isn't that bad. Story is pretty cool too so far (but I've only done like 3 main story quests sooo).

So far I've only did some side questing (no factions) and I'm currently level 15 with some super awesome flame chakrams and a fire staff. I feel rather over leveled since every enemy dies in half a combo haha.
 
Max Payne 3, it's a payne in the ass, gets harder every level, stage or whatever.

Overall, kick ass game. You just have to know how to kill all the enemies quickly.

I can understand most people wonder what happened with the story, it's just about Max trying to forget about all the pain and the suffering in
the past to protect someone.
 
Finally got around to playing psychonauts
obv its a really fun game i would recommend it to anyone who liked any n64 rare platformers (its better) or anyone who just like 3D adventure/platforming games in general. Dialogue is great, concept is great, everything about this game is great. I have not found one qualm in gameplay other that the framerate skips sometimes and the audio cuts

REALLY liked Max Payne 3. IMO Rockstar did an EXCELLENT job in staying true to the originals. I was really worried about it but they totally pulled it off.

And yeah it was a son of a bitch in difficulty at some points ;x

(What's funny though is that I had the WORST time in the office building -- the part with all the cubicles where you have to protect the nerd. I died like 20 times and nearly had an aneurysm. But then everyone I talked to that played it said they had ZERO trouble there. Graaah

But holy shit, to me, p much all of the rest of the game was a CAKEWALK compared to that fucking cubicle room aaaaaaaa)

(and no that wasn't a spoiler, the scene was even depicted briefly in a trailer, shut up spoilernazis)

Kinda flipping between Super Paper Mario, Final Fantasy IV, and The Last Remnant right now. I'm also playing AC: Brotherhood, Uncharted 2, Silent Hill 3, and Beyond Good & Evil as Let's Plays.

Two Words:

in all seriousness it was a really fun game i would recommend it to anyone. I didnt like the last bit though mainly because i would fall a ton. x;
Sometimes the game wasn't very specific in telling you what to do too
But overall i would recommend it to anyone who is even remotely interested in adventure/platformers

Awesome Bro

Has anyone played Sound Shapes yet? It's fucking brilliant! The campaign is short, with only 20 levels, they'll take like 4-7 minutes each to complete, but the Death Mode that you unlock afterwards is so good! It's pretty hard too, basically, you have to collect a set amount of notes within a time limit, and if you die, you start from the beginning but they're on random spawns so you can't figure out a strategy or anything because it's different everytime.

I hope they bring some DLC out for this with more songs and challenge levels and stuff, it's just such a fun game!

Definitely worth the price tag!
