I know I keep crying about this, but how I wish my Xbox hadn't died

Don't feel too bad, man. It took me something like two years to get a new one.

Sad thing is, since nobody has an Xbox here, there's no point in buying one. All of my friends have PS3s. And with life catching up, I have much less time for games these days. Having 2 consoles is a luxury I can't afford.

Still, I really hate missing out on some great games..

Anyway, I finished Mirror's Edge, God of War 2 (yes, 2) and Portal 2 completely some time ago so I could start on my backlog.

Started GoW3 but hated it and left it.

Now playing Alice: Madness Returns.

Maybe I'll finish Infamous if I have time after that.

Don't say things like that. It makes me sad!

You love it that much?

The first game was great, the second was good, and the third could've been much better - had they not made a game that revolved only around violence. [minor spoiler] The minute I ripped off Helios' head, I turned the game off and decided not to touch it again. [/minor spoiler]

That part was in the E3 demo that I think everyone had access to, so I think you're good with the spoiler.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not in love with the game, but I did enjoy it well enough. The second one will always be my favorite, and the second is pretty guilty of some gratuitous violence, like when you get the key from that dude on the horses or steeds of time or whatever.

Never had so much fun mashing the circle button in my life.

But yeah, if gratuitous blood and violence turns you off, then I never really thought the God of War series was for you. I think that's why Earl's not too keen on it.

It's not that violence puts me off; my problem is that this game revolves around it. There were fewer puzzles, the story just made Kratos seem like an asshole and there was a ton of unnecessary violence imo.

The second game barely passed the fun barrier for me; the third was just outrageous.

I'm sinking way too much time every night into League of Legends...not progressing on any other games.

I'm on the fifth of six (I hope) dungeons in 3D Dot Game Heroes and I'm getting through the Ice Cavern at the start of the third disc in Lost Odyssey.

I also got a free limited edition collector's copy of Perfect Dark Zero and I'm firing through that since I never played it cause I had no Xbox 360 at launch. It's not terrible but it sure isn't great either.

I finished the fifth temple and I had to go running around trying to find the Flame Sage so I could get the spell from the Red Orb. I literally had to run around to all the temples and find the old sages so they could tell me that they saw him and he went somewhere else.

Ugh.

magus113 · 08-07-2011, 10:03 PM

I beat 3D Dot Game Heroes today! Yay!

Finally got myself a decent gaming PC. I just started playing The Witcher (the first one). Haven't gotten very far, though. Took a while to download and its getting late.

Seth · 08-08-2011, 01:52 PM

Give us the specs!

Ginkasa · 08-09-2011, 04:06 AM

Windows 7 64-bit
4 GB RAM
AMD Phenom II X4
GeForce GTX 550 Ti

Nothing super fancy, but it seems to be working well so far. I've never built a PC before, so I'm pretty excited about it.

I bought Wii Play Motion.

Mostly for the 3rd controller. But some mini games are actually pretty good.
