Just finished Deadlight, it was free this month for xbox gold members.
I always had an eye on it, but now I'm glad I never paid for it.
Gameplay, graphics and sound (esp. the music) were all good, but the story was forgettable and the main character got on my nerves.
Also there were two or three SUUUUUPER frustrating sequences (helicopter rooftop chase and collapsing building), where I literally died a hundred times, not because I'm too stupid, but Randall has a really hard time letting go in tight situations esp. fences and walls. He clings to them, like his life depends on it, when it actually is the other way around. LET GO TO LIVE!!!!

Oh and I finished episode 2 of The Walking Dead. WOHOOOO!

After 254 attempts (seriously...) I finally beat Spelunky! Look, photographic evidence and everything!. Now to try and defeat the hidden levels and hidden final boss. Considering it's a harder task than just beating the actual game, I imagine it'll take another couple of hundred attempts!

^ Are you willing to throw another 100+ attempts at the game again? I say just retire from it

Tuffty · « **Reply #2783 on:** April 25, 2014, 09:33:23 PM »

Oh don't misunderstand me, I've had a blast in every attempt! There's enough depth in the game to warrant coming back to it so I'm more than happy to see it all myself. It's one of those games that is so hard to put down. Would recommend it to absolutely everyone.

Hotline Miami 2 preview video has got me pretty excited for the sequel and an itch to replay the original.

This rumoured list of games to be announced at Sony's E3 conference is too good to be true Which probably means it is. But still, get hyped! Uncharted 4, Project Beast (the spiritual successor to Demon Souls) and The Last Guardian are Sony exclusive titles to really get excited about....if true.

I don't know, it's hard for me to get excited for that list, which means... it's probably true!!

Playing Shadowrun Returns now, I missed playing Shadowrun games in general hahaha. Downloaded a mod that makes it more sandbox like too woo!

just ordered a razer sabertooth controller for the 360 and ordered some more kontrol freeks - another set of the cqc signatures (love those) and a couple sets of the fps vortex. my friend got the vortex and i really liked the way they felt. it now feels weird to use a normal controller

I think they got a lot of them, haha. The only thing I could think of is the people who have "raffles" on their streams.
(100's of people buy $10 raffle tickets for a $150 prize)

NOOOOO WHY DO YOU LOOK SO AMAZING

For any persona fans, Ken Amada is shown slightly older in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax with Koromaru in tow.
Any thoughts?

got the sabertooth the other day - still trying to figure out the best button config for shooters (it has several programmable extra buttons) and stuff but so far i'm impressed

That's cool, but I can't get too excited for it unfortunately. P4 Arena took forever to come out in Europe and as earlier on this week, it was actually taken down on the PSN completely. Arc System Works doesn't view Europe in a good way at all considering games like Blazblue were also a struggle to be released over here and region locked so you can't even import it.

Thanks for the input. I didn't know about that since I mostly go my friend's house to play their ps3 and ps4. Are jrpg games not as popular in Europe as they are here in America? I remember a few months back when Rune Factory 4 was release, I recommended it to one of my friend who was in Europe at the time. They were sad to hear XSEED Games cancelled it for the European release.

JRPG's are usually given fine representation over here. We get all the major releases like the US and some niche titles too. It's just Arc System Works that doesn't like Europe haha

Finished the 3rd episode of TWD, didn't feel as intense as the last one, but still great.
Also new personal record: I only died once! Usually I die tons because of the stuttering and wonky controls.
Now on to watch some let's plays to see alternate routes.

Decided to make a go of it and get up in the online leaderboards with Bull Hunter, a specific challenge for the Darts mini game in Yakuza 4. As you may have guessed, the idea is to get as many bulls eyes in a row as you can. Turns out, I've done well enough to be in the Overall Top 10!

Think I will keep trying to go even higher. I mean, a couple more darts and I can be in top 5 at least. Trying to get No.1 will be tough but I'm determined enough to go for it!

Was playing Yakuza 4 tonight and after a while cleaning up some sub stories, I decided to give the Bull Hunter challenge another go but after being away for so long, my skills were a bit rusty and I wasn't great. So I tried to see if there was another challenge and I went with the Strike King challenge instead, which sees how many strikes in a row you can get. A good dozen or so attempts later and I managed to get into the overall top 10 for it too! 27 strikes in a row. Still a way to go yet before challenging for the top in either challenge

^ At least in Strike King you have no equal! I mean, people are either better or worse than you, but no one is as good AS you! That feat

Getting distracted last night, I decided to watch some gameplay and review vids of Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions (which I do own, but have never played much further than the first level) and now I'm really excited to give the game another crack. Only problem is that I have to wait about a month until I'm done with all my assessments and finals for this semester

By the time I'm done with everything important, I will have completely forgotten about all this, I'm sure
