Glad to see someone enjoying that game. I bought it for my son as a birthday gift (it's not his birthday yet), and then I read the reviews. He's more into the whole Resident Evil story, so the flaws will probably go unnoticed as major setbacks for him. However, I did worry a bit. But if I see things like this, then I feel better.Quote:

Sooooo.... stuck in a hotel until May. No internet for Xbox Live, but have regular internet. Brought my Kinect, though, so I figured I'd knock out some of the achievements I normally don't get a chance to do. I need to "finish" up the following:
Fruit Ninja Kinect (2 achievements left)
Your Shape: Fitness (need to burn 5000 calories... and I will do it legitimately)
Dance Central 2 (uh, I'll only get a couple of achievements on this one). Fun as all heck, but I'm the average non-dancing dude. In addition, I have no party going on in my room, so no friends drunk dancing.
Some of the Kinect Fun Labs stuff (yeah, too many off the top of my head)
I do have ME3 with me, but I'm only 1 achievement short of 100% and I want to get that one while playing multiplayer.
I do have other Xbox arcade games, but I need to do a lot of studying as well, so the Kinect games gets the love from me while I'm stuck here.

Got the Fruit Ninja Kinect achievements that were remaining.
Played up some World of Keflings, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, and Unbound Saga. I am missing the multiplayer achievements from them, so I'll get those when I get back as well.
Might play Renegade Ops, From Dust, or Crimson Alliance until I get back.
Shogun 2 TW FOTS.
Should get around to finishing Kingdom of Amalur Reckoning too, but just got annoyed and I'm about near the end..i think.
I played the demo, shamefully to get the ME3 weapons and armor, but I did enjoy it. The bad part about playing Kingdoms of Amalur is that the studio is going down, so it looks like there will not be anything new added to the game.Quote:

On another note, I did receive Ghost Recon Future Soldier in the mail after a lengthy pre-order and am playing it. It's fun, but after having a certain mentality from playing Battlefield, GoW3, Halo, ME3, and other shooters, I was in for a shock on how to play this one. It is definitely a different play style.
I finally broke down and bought Saints Row the Third! I was waiting for the price to drop on Steam. But I am awfully happy with my purchase. I heard many good and bad things about it but sometimes the ridiculousness of the game makes you roll your eyes. But I very much enjoy the crazy missions coupled with great aiming and overall gameplay this game plays way smoother than it has any right to given the crazy things you do.
I really do think that this installment pushes the series far away from the "this is justa GTA rip off" and into its own bracket.
Oh and ***SPOLIER*** their zombies are a bit meaner then dead island zombies.
Sad to hear the studio going down. Had a lot of hype around it. Was hoping to see the MMO they were talking about. Ah well.Quote:

If the ending(s) was in any other game, it wouldn't have been bad. However, Bioware has developed a huge reputation for its storytelling ability and the use of having multiple options available to players. The ending for ME3 just doesn't quite fit the bill that most players expected. Bioware is releasing some kind of update that will explain the ending(s) better, but that's later this summer.Quote:
