List of Games I’ve Recently Played and My Thoughts
Felt like doing this.
Bayonetta - Probably my favorite game of 2010, though I just got around to playing it a few months back. It’s just great fun and it’s extremely over the top, but not so much that it makes the game groan-worthy to play.
Saints Row: The Third - And NOW my favorite game of 2011 (Sorry, inFamous 2!!). I could play this game over and over; it’s just so much fun. It’s crazy, violent, and the customization options are almost endless. It’s actually good enough to be one of my favorite games of all time.
Resident Evil 4: HD Edition - OMFG WHY ARE THE CONTROLS SO AWKWARD I DON’ REMEMBER HOW TO PLAY DISSS
Skullgirls - What a wonderful little game. It’s probably the best fighting game I’ve played in a very long time, it’s tough but has a slew of tutorials to help beginners like me at least stand some kind of chance against the more expert players. My only gripe is the lack of content and modes, but I’m sure they will change that with DLC and patches as time passes on.
Mass Effect 3 - This one actually surprised me. I was a little sketchy since I am pretty crap at these kind of games (shooters), but actually, it doesn’t require that much experience at those games at all. At first, I was bored out of my mind through the first maybe hour (the introduction and the Mars mission were groan-inducingly boring for me for some reason), but once you hit the Citadel and the Normandy to chat with everyone, I got really engrossed in the story. It is a spectacular game, and my only real complaints are the beginning and the ending (I know the ending is ‘controversially’ bad, but it’s not amazingly terrible. I think the introduction was actually worse to go through, really).
Dragon’s Dogma (demo) - CAN’T. STOP. PLAYING. Seriously, I actually pre-ordered this completely the other day. This game pleases me to play to no end, even though there’s only a prologue, character edit, and mini-boss fight to play in the demo. May 22nd cannot come FAST ENOUGH.
No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise - This is the game I am currently playing (besides the Dragon’s Dogma demo for like the 52nd time). This game actually reminds me a lot of God Hand for the PS2; critically, I would say both of these games are pretty terrible; however, I find great fun in playing them. God Hand is one of my favorite games, and this game, while not as fun as that game, is still very fun. I just wish the motorbike wasn’t so… glitchy (yeesh!). I love the style of the game and how silly and bloody it is, and so far I’ve adored all of the assassin bosses I’ve fought (so far I’m Rank 8, so it’s only about three of them, sans the bonus bosses you fight in those dream sequences). Also, NO AUTOSAVE UGGHHHH I LOST ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF’S WORTH OF PROGRESS BECAUSE IT FROZE AND I HADN’T SAVED FFFFUUUUU—
