Finished ME3.
Ending wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be.

Still was a poorly done game. Could have done away with the Token Mexican completely, as well as Ashley after her bit in the first part of the game.
Previously interesting characters like Liara/Garrus really had bit roles as well, despite being main squad members (though they are still handy in battle).
Interesting characters who actually had something to do with the story like Jack/Mordin/Legion/Miranda are actually unplayable this time around.

Very little exploration, a lot of "Go to Point A, Then Point B, Then Back To A" fetch missions, as well as repetative "walk into room with lots of cover and defend from waves" battles.
Feels like they were riding too much on the confidence and praise of ME:2 and kinda got lost somewhere. Not a bad game, but not great.
I'd rank them in the order they came out :thumb:

Uncharted 3 on the other hand has been a blast so far! Good stuff.
There's some Batman Arkham City style brawling in the beginning, hopefully it continues (along with the usually platforming/TPS stuff).
There are some that call me...morningstaru?

I wasn't completely sold on the 3d thing until I played this game...they use it really well to add to the experience instead of just using it as a gimmicky after thought. I love that about nintendo, the really go out of their way to take something that could just be a silly schtick and turn it into their trademark. Super realistic visuals be damned.

Running over cars with a tank in Saints Row: The Third is super satisfying.

Dark Souls is confirmed for PC with two additional bosses. Even though I have the PS3 version, I'll definitely be picking this up.

Oooo, intriguing, that game looks fun but I don't own any modern consoles.

Blacklight Retribution is awesome. One of - if not THE - best free game I have ever played. Definitely the best free shooter.

EDIT: Upon playing more I, there are a bunch of server lag issues which is kind of ruining it...

Does anyone else love Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden as much as I do?!

Such good writing...the obnoxious Japanophile save point might be my favorite character.

Okay, Tribes:Ascend is incredibly awesome. You only have to score one "Blue Plate Special" to get hooked, foshizzle.

Check it, dudes: https://account.hirezstudios.com/tribes ... aign=email

What console (or do you game on a PC?) are you playing on again? I need to find some ILF bros on Xbox to play this with!
