Heard it was basically an open world super hero game now like Prototype, Infamous, Crackdown, Just Cause 2 etc.

Oh, also I've been playing BLOPS2 Single Player. I 'Acquired' it and as far as I can tell that makes multiplayer impossible to participate in which is really what I wanted to play but $60? Fuck that. I'll wait for a sale I guess.

I might play three then.
 
to me its like GTA meets prototype with alot of matrix dumped in there.

I haven't played a game this funny in awhile though. its pretty damn funny

Actually SR2 was pretty funny as well. And it was pretty close to being as 'off the wall' as SR3. SR2 was when it still had some semblance of seriousness on occasion but was now leaning mostly into looney-ville. I actually played the PC version and had none of the commonly complained about issues that most had with the port so I was fortunate in that way.

SR1 was actually pretty good in its time but I'd definitely never be able to go back now after playing SR2 and up. Its almost bare bones in comparison as far as I recall. I played some of its multiplayer... It was terrible so I can understand why they stopped implementing it.

Oh also I flipping out because I'm playing CODBLOPS2 and I just realized I can't infinitely retry the strike missions and that they have a very heavy effect on story. I'm playing on Veteran difficulty (basically "Very Hard" and/or Hardest difficulty) specifically because I'm ok with dying a lot. But I'm less OK with getting a shitty ending because of finite retries on these missions that are super different in structure to the rest of the missions. Don't get me wrong they are interesting, but its changing of the status quo has put in in an awkward position, I'm a stickler for getting the 'best ending' on my first play through because I hate replaying games for multiple endings. In fact there are maybe 2 games I've ever beaten multiple times in my life and I did so for sheer fun and Coop.

I'm either going to try and see if there is a trainer mod to let me infinitely retry these missions or lower the difficulty to easy for basically assured victory. I'd prefer the former.
 
I feel like this could have been handled better, perhaps having separate difficulty settings for the Strike Missions would have worked, IDK. On top of this, the mode doesn't give you a lot of breathing room to actually learn what works in the mode in the first place. Like, I would have been OK with a 'training mode' where wins and losses don't count so I can learn the ropes. The tutorial did not actually cover any tactics or explain the fine details, just unit controls. I know the game got a lot of praise for actually breaking the mold with this introduction but I'm not a huge fan of branching story lines that Treyarch seems to like doing. Hell, I was event fairly upset when I found out that I could have saved a minor character in World at War if I had played well enough in a certain section. I did not, probably because I played veteran difficulty like usual. I barely survived when I did succeed but I would have retried the section had the game informed me "Hey! Player! you can actually save this guy! We aren't railroading him into death like 99% of games will do." It was like the game concealed the fact that I had technically failed at a side quest and told me to continue on, oblivious of the fact, and then only for me to find out that the only way to 'fix' my experience is to fucking replay that shit.
 
Yeah, OK I'm bitter about it. I just think that when a game deviates from the normal 'video game logic' that the game should fucking say so. As much as I loved the games, this is what ended up forcing me to replay a huge sections of Deus Ex and KOTOR 2 as well because I only discovered I had played the story wrong and the game never informed me. If I ever plan to get around to Mass Effect 3 I'll need to do the same with ME2 because my roommate knowingly misinformed me on a story element so that I would do a fairly ugly renegade action because he told me I'd lose Garrus as a teammate otherwise. That shit pissed me off though in that case it wasn't the games fault. My roommate in this case thought that lying to me to get me to break away from my OCD video game nature was for my own good. I did not agree. I don't speak with him anymore.
 
Its also really hard to know what actions to take in a game in order to get the 'good' ending in games with out actually spoiling the endings. I hate spoilers equally as much as I hate getting a non-cannon or 'bad' end. And not completing a game for these reasons is just not an option. Leaving me in an infuriating conundrum.
 
I'm not normally an angry or violent person but its this sort of stuff that makes me want to strangle people.

My frustration in trying to get around the problem has overcome my obsession. Bad end ho!

lol my girlfriend's 6 year old daughter wanted to play it so I helped her make a pink haired hoochie mama with a hello kitty backpack, butterfly/farie sleeves and leg tats. she's runnin around freeroaming on it.

I'm playing the free old Spelunky lots recently and it's a really good holistic "experience"
