I started Sin & Punishment 2!

Finished 3 levels on Easy so far. It's more fun than expected... it's the Star Fox we haven't had since 64.

Edit: beat Bowser in SMG2. Still lots of stars to get though.

I'm still playing the campaign of Portal 2. I finished the rooms and I got past the plot twist... and now the game is SO boring. I hope that doesn't take long, because I can barely stand it.

I finished the third disc of Lost Odyssey yesterday. Since I technically don't have class until tomorrow I guess I could try and get some more out of the way tonight.

I did a dungeon and I actually took some time to go exploring in Lost Odyssey, whether it was to look for more dreams to read, or a treasure quest or two. It's nice, but sadly it won't help me get closer to finishing the game.

Now that class started who knows how much time I'll have to finish this during the semester.

Some of the levels of Sin & Punishment 2 are awesome. I've had 1 really frustrating boss so far, that will be a disaster on normal/hard.

I might just want to try and get some more stuff done in Lost Odyssey tonight before the REAL work starts piling up. I had to set all my calendar reminders for my online course quizzes and the like and it looks like a barrel of monkeys from here until December. I think I should try to enjoy what fun I can have while I still can.

I finished Lost Odyssey! The credits haven't finished rolling yet, but there should be a little more than 53 hours clocked in on there.

The ending was really long too. I think from the second the last boss battle ended to the credits it was 20+ minutes. I mean it's not MGS fare, but long enough when it's not expected.

EDIT: At the clear save it clocked me at 54 hours, 28 minutes.

I think I'm fighting the last boss of Sin & Punishment 2. It's on easy, so no big deal. After this I'll try a normal run and I'll choose the other character. I'm also looking forward to being able to switch character.

I beat S&P2.

Also: original Japanese voice acting!

I tried picking up Zelda Phantom Hourglass, but I coudln't remember what I was doing. I played for 15 minutes and all I did was redo parts of the AWEFUL Temple of Tedious Repetition.
I'll have to look up a walkthrough... again.

Man Spirit Tracks was sooo much better. SO MUCH BETTER

I don't want to start that before I finished PH. I'm very close too, I got all the 3 metals. And the hammer.

My co-workers and I went back to 1995 after work. We were playing The Dig for a few hours at a time and we finally finished today. Sci-Fi adventure gaming at its best. Difficult, but its best.

magus113 · 09-04-2011, 04:42 PM

I finally finished Perfect Dark Zero. Now I can finally say I beat the game and never play it again.

Angrist · 09-06-2011, 09:10 AM

I finally beat Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. I've struggled with it for years... and I really started to appreciate it after I beat the last boss.
So after that I went back to fetch chests, collect ship parts etc. A customizable ship was genious, I hope we'll see things like that more often in Zelda games.

In the next few weeks I will start Spirit Tracks.

The customizable ship thing goes into Spirit Tracks with the trains. You'll like it, as the central "hub" or "temple" was done much much better this time around, and the whole attachment you get from having Princess Zelda around makes for a wonderful storytelling mechanic, like in Twilight Princess with Midna.

Nice, looking forward to it.

But before ST, I want to beat SMG2 and S&P2 (on normal, maybe try hard). Oh and maybe Monster Hunter 3 (the offline part... 2 monsters left).
