The Gaming Diary: Chapter 2

Rayman is brutal for the completion.


World of Tanks. 100 kills left.

I picked up BattleZone: Rise of the Black Dogs on N64.  As far as I can tell, I'm suppose to be on the moon shooting at things in a tank I think.  The joystick moves the turret around the screen, and the C Buttons move my tank around.  I guess this was their way of trying to do dual analog on an N64 but it's really weird to control. 

A lot of those types of games on the N64 (PSP as well) do this.  Why they didn't use the same controls and design as Goldeneye is beyond me. 

A lot of companies were trying to figure out the best way to emulate twin-stick games on the N64. Goldeneye's just ended up being the most comfortable for a lot of people.

GoldenEye also had 8 different control styles.

007: Quantum of Solace (DS) - Killing time before bed.

007: Quantum of Solace (G4W) - After tinkering around, I finally got it up and running. It feels weird playing with a keyboard versus a controller, no 360 controller support is kinda baffling.

Finished up World of Tanks yesterday afternoon and Narco Terror late last night.

Just queued up episode 3 of The Wolf Among Us. I like that the game is super easy and doesn't have a lot of running around. But i'm not into the story. Pretty sure i grabbed season pass on sale shortly after release. I hope i did anyways because i don't feel this "series" is worth asking price.

Walking Dead Season 2 needs to hurry up and get all their eps out so it can go on sale too

Gamefly gave me a month for $1, so I rented Ducktales Remastered.  It's pretty fun so far.  I beat it on Easy so now I'm going to head into Hard mode.  I don't think I'll be able to do it on Extreme, though.

Ducktales was definitely harder than i had expected. I liked it though. I started a hard run and got sidetracked. I should try getting back to that one myself.

As for the endless cut scenes which i have read many complaints about i think all (or almost all anyways) can be skipped by pausing and selecting skip cutscene.

007: Quantum of Solace (G4W) - Slowly getting used to the keyboard/mouse controls.

Yeah, the cutscenes are definitely annoying, but AFAIK, they're all skippable.

I'm still working on a hard playthrough, but I also started playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012).  I REALLY like this game.  I loved NFS: Rivals for PS4, but I think I like this one a bit more.  I like the customization aspect in MW, and I thought the game looked excellent visually.  I haven't run into nearly as many glitches in MW as I have in Rivals, but I've also read about some of the "collectibles" glitching in MW which makes me a bit worried.

Finished Wolf Among Us chapter 3 shortly after last post about downloading it.

Been playing Bejeweled 2 endless mode since then. Need to hit level 280. I think i am around level 75 now. Only a hundred+ hours left!

Need to figure out what the next real game i am going to play is. Still need to wrap up Sacred Citadel so maybe that.

007: Quantum of Solace (G4W) - The last mission is such a pain...

[Izret101]

Finished my mage playthru of Sacred Citadel.
Got most of the way through with the Shaman.
Only finished chapter 1 with the Ranger.

Hopefully i can get Ranger and Shaman done tomorrow.

007: Quantum of Solace (G4W) - Lost my progress, so I'm back in Venice.
