Like 50 or 60, something like that. Did you deal with a lot of the area affinity stuff and whatnot? I didn't do a lot of the sidequests, mainly only the monster killing ones since I was gonna kill those things anyway and don't have to backtrack to turn them in.

It sure f*cking does. The logic holes are so ridiculous it's amazing to me that there are people who actively defend it.

I ****ing hate Heavy Rain.

Too bad it wasn't a better game, I would REAHLEE laik to hahve one.

**Barkworm** · 05-12-2012, 01:10 PM

Oh Mass Effect. I've been such a good Paragon and did everything you wanted me to do for more than 100 hours. Yes, including that one dumb sidequest in ME1 that you have to repeat for about 30 times and the lame scanning from 2 and 3. Nevertheless I still can't get the best military strength level? Now I'm really looking forward to that ending no one liked.

**Barkworm** · 05-13-2012, 04:46 AM

So... I wasn't that upset with the ending since I liked most of the character interaction right before it and during the final mission. But sure, the ending was weird and silly. Also turns out that I was worried about nothing since having a better EMS level would have changed NOTHING to my ending.

Yeah, I did a ton of that. The backtracking wasn't that bad since you have fast travel. I think I'll jump into it again later but I'll try The Walking Dead first.

Minecraft has a terrible habit of making me completely lose track of time. Almost 2:30 am and I'm just going to bed. 5:30 wake-up is gonna be f*cking great.

My favourite thing is the fact that I spent 3/4 of my play time making a stupid f*cking mine look aesthetically pleasing.

愛 · 05-15-2012, 04:30 AM

Playing some of that Diablo III before going to work. Man, this game is really dumbed down compared to the second game. But I kind of like that, because it was too much of a hassle going online and finding out the best build when the game can just do that for you. Of course, that takes away from the customization of your character, but I've never really been about that, anyway.

I was in the beta, so the first hour or so will be all the same. Oh well. Work time!

Took me only 2 days! i started it on friday and finished it on sunday! i am not going to play it online because i play very few games online. i am still going to continue playing street fighter x teken online and in 1 week i will buy max payne 3

Peanut · 05-22-2012, 12:57 PM

Because that game is awffffuuullll, man! Damn! We beat it in one night co-op.

I played a bunch of XBLIG yesterday that I'd been meaning to play. DLC Quest is pretty clever and pretty funny. It's like 20-30 minutes long, but for 80 points you can't expect much else. Also played a bunch of Vidiots Game, which is among the most insane things I've ever experienced.

愛 · 05-22-2012, 05:51 PM

I started Operation Raccoon City, blinked, and then it was over. Seriously, what was even the point of that game?

*XERO* · 05-22-2012, 05:59 PM

I've been playing a lot of Uncharted 3 lately.

Hot damn.

I love that game. My favorite in the series.

Peanut · 05-23-2012, 11:15 PM

Played a bunch of Dragon's Dogma, which is both better and different than I thought it would be. Doesn't seem like I'm too far in, but I've had some pretty great experiences so far.

*Roland* · 05-24-2012, 04:52 PM

Playing some Primal Rage. Sauron is ruler of urth now.

*Turo602* · 05-26-2012, 12:58 PM

I completed Max Payne 3 a few hours back, and I really enjoyed the hell out of it. The action is awesome, the story telling is amazing, the voice acting is spot on, and the music is great. Nothing too memorable in the music department, but it really sets the mood and gets you pumped in the moment. The story was very interesting, characters you didn't expect much out of were important down the line, the twists and turns, and the symbolism really did this game justice as a Max Payne game. It wasn't just mindless random action. I definitely recommended this game.

I beat the game today as well. The combat is fun, fluid, and exciting. However, it's the presentation that makes the game special. Voice acting is stellar, graphics are great, and (here's where we disagree) the music is completely stellar. It steals the show, especially in a late-game moment reminiscent of a pretty special Red Dead Redemption moment - Not, that I was a huge fan of RDR, overall, but the way they have shown their appreciation for video-game music this generation has earned them the title "Rockstar".

Nah, I wouldn't disagree with that. The music wasn't bad, it was great. Just nothing too memorable. I mean, the air-port shoot-out was really awesome, and I guess you could say the music played a large part in that, for obvious reasons.

Like I said, it really set the tone and kept you pumped during the shoot-outs. But can you honestly remember what you heard? It's no Mario or Zelda, but it was good for the time being. The music was impactful to the experience (especially in the later parts), but not outside of it.

And Red Dead was awesome!
