You know whats good? The penny arcade rpg. Good. Also i played the ffxiii-2 demo: No open world map. No airships. No buy.

No J-pop intro?

Me tooooo. Those games are actually legit good games though, as well as being hilarious and good just because of the association. I really hope they make more.

Sazh and Snow were annoyingly bitchy enough, being forced to play with them during the tutorial that lasted for 85% of the game didn't help. So much wasted potential in that game, hopefully XIII-2 fixes those issues and be what XIII should've been.

I'm still in and out of Skyrim. Slay dragon > round corner > get killed by snow bear > rage quit

Yeah fuck bears. The loady screen says the bears don't attack unless provoked. EVERY SINGLE BEAR EVER GOES OUT OF ITS WAY TO FIND AND EAT ME.

Also, those animated kills are whack. Attack a mage with who has an 1 handed axe> his first hit is an instant KO>rage quit. Slitting ghosts' throats is pretty sweet though.

Near the end there I totally gave up on 2-handed weapons. Why even use them when you can get the executions like 90% of the time with the crazy fast swing speed of 1-handers? Every other enemy murders me on the first swing, may as well do the same thing to them.

Man I played Red Dead Redemption at my friend's house the other night. SO GOOD.
Shooting motherfuckers off their horses and watching them cartwheel down hillsides is the best thing ever. I was going full speed on mah horse and some stupidass wild dog ran out and got trampled instantly. I died laughing. Eventually I calmed down and walked over to skin it like a badass, and a mountain lion mauled me to death out of nowhere.
You can wrangle you up some womenfolk with yer lasso too. And put them on train tracks. And then jump on them with your horse because the train isn't coming anytime soon.

It's the best game.

lol. i hate sandbox games. actually something a PA strip touched on, i think the way they phrased it was, "the freedom to do anything is paralyzing". i've never played one that i didn't just bullshit non-main quest shit for a few hours till i got bored. like, i don't get as much time to play games as i used to, so i want to feel like i PROGRESSED after 2 hours. and i never get that, at least story-wise, from sandboxes.

but that description of RDR is fucking beautiful and makes me want to fight through that shit. my lil brother LOVES that game. got pissed off that he didn't try online until like a month ago. and there were never more than 2 doods in a town. FUN.

I beat Arkham City a while ago, now playing it through on New Game Plus and finding them Riddler Trophies and such. I have like 220 so far but I'll probably have to start looking stuff up online to get to 400.

I've been getting a great kick out of using the unrelenting force shout to knock them off the sides of cliffs

That's the only way I fight outdoors. Mostly because my level comes almost entirely from sneaking and lockpicking...

Achy just sold a copy of RDD.

OMGWTFBBQ I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE GRINDING MAD LOOTZ!!

...... just downloaded Torchlight for the 360. point and click dungeon crawling maps really well to a controller. i'm surprised.

it's a straight Diablo rip off, but with different monster types and loot structures and a way different cartoony cell shaded feel.

FUN.
