The Gaming Diary: Chapter 2

Grand Theft Auto V (360) - Finished. I really liked it compared to GTA IV. I'm not sure if I will try to complete it on the PS3 as well.

I hated IV but a few friends have told me to play Lost and Damned and Gay Tony.  I'm curious about V but I have a few things in the hopper right now so I can wait.  Glad to see that people like me who weren't crazy about IV seem to like this one.

L&D was a great game and totally worth the purchase.  The plot, characters, and vehicles really make the game.  You'll never want to get off the bike (it drives that well).

Played some more Arma II, the first campaign. I really want to like this game. I love the open world "there's a war on" feel of it. However, the controls are wonky, I can't ever seem to aim fast enough, my team slaughters and gets slaughtered by enemies I never even see...I pretty much just hide and tell my team to do objectives. It's kind of boring. I'm all for crawling around in the dirt realistic shooters but this one just has design flaws. Maybe the MP is better, but I'm afraid I'll just get buttraped until I can actually operate in SP.

Cut the Rope: Experiments (WP7) - Wrapping up the last few achievements.

Been playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. It's pretty fun, but goddamn if it doesn't go out of it's way to throw fetch quests at you.

Just bought the 400 Days DLC for The Walking Dead, probably gonna dive into that later tonight.

Taking a break from Project Zomboid.  Just beat those freaking Mummies in the first Castlevania.  Hoping to beat it tonight before one of my kids wake up (or I have to go to work).

Volgarr the Viking - Good game but hard. It sort of reminds me of the Dark Souls series in that once you have to memorize the enemy's patterns and how long it will take for you to finish your attack.

Volgar is a lot like Rastan on SMS. Worth picking up

Rastan is in the first level of Volgarr the Viking.

Virtua Fighter 2 (PSN) - Going through Arcade mode.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Bit more ArmA II. Got a mod to play a single player open roam deal which was way more fun than the campaign (the missions are too much work).

Also downloaded The Dark Mod which is pretty much a fan made Thief that runs off of the Doom III engine. Messed around with that for awhile then stopped because it wouldn't reload quick saves and I didn't feel like figuring out why. Might get into that in a bit.

Always spend more time trying to get mods and settings to work than playing, and I actually fine it more entertaining quite often.
