Oh dear. I picked up a disc of this game that's in my backlog. I was looking forward to it for all the same reasons you were. Now I'll probably be disappointed for all the same reasons too.

1/10: Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery EP (Steam)
1/10: Rusty's Real Deal Baseball: Bat & Switch (3DS DL)
1/11: Time Fcuk (Steam)
1/11: Coil (Steam)
1/17: Portal 2 (Steam)
1/31: Tales of Xillia (PS3)
Total: 6 games
Yay, I beat my first Tales game! I've only played a tiny bit of Symphonia, so it's kind of nice to finally try out one of the Tales games (even if it supposedly isn't the best in the series). The story is kind of ehh until the 3rd chapter (4 total) and there is one part in the game where you have to run aimlessly around a tooon but the positives greatly outweigh that. I liked collecting random junk to upgrade the shops, the battles (even if I mostly button mashed), upgrading my party with the orb thingy, and most of all the characters (minus Teepo and I didn't like Leia much either). Nearly every cutscene, skit, and side mission that I did had some good character interaction. And I looove some good/interesting characters.
So yeah, it was good Little worried about Xillia 2, since Xillia didn't really feel like it needed a sequel, but I'll just have to see how it is when I get to it.

They did manage to depict the horrors of war much better then I thought they would. And some of the collectible intel was interesting to read. They detail how the war started, from a oil crisis, too North Korea's rise in power in western Asia.J T wrote:Oh dear. I picked up a disc of this game that's in my backlog.

It ultimately feels like someone pitched this awesome idea. And then the executives said 'Ya, lets do that. But make it this way instead.'
Its also short. Very short.

Re: Games Beaten 2015
I agree with many points on your thoughts of Alien Isolation but I always make sure to ask you if you know that your motion tracker does in fact make noise and that the Alien is very much designed to hear that thing from like miles away.
After I learned that it made the encounters much less frustrating.
The working joes though man. Those are the things that made me quit.
I'll beat it at some point though.

I'm still not sure whether I'm a kid or a squid now.

Re: Games Beaten 2015
Yeah, I figured out the tracker pretty quickly. I found myself using it less and less as the game wore on to be honest, mostly because as you get further in the areas you're thrown into generally get smaller anyway so you can keep eye contact with it.

I loved reading that entire review. Thanks for making it so thorough!
@BoneSnap: I hope you enjoy Alcahest when you get around to playing it. It was one of those games that I played for a few hours, thought I was done with for the night, but then meandered back to and wound up playing straight through until 5 AM. Really enjoyable. My only complaint with it is that it has an enemy respawn system that's on par with some NES games, but that said, defeating enemies earns you points that stack toward gaining more continues. So at least you're rewarded in some way for having to kill the same freaking fire plant twenty times.

1/31 Infamous: First Light (PS4)
This is a tangential storyline to Infamous Second Son, starring Fetch another superpowered person you meet therein. Despite knowing a huge part of her tragic backstory, they manage to make the story arc interesting and impactful. The story and pacing I felt were much better than Second Son and I liked the protaganist more than Delsin.
I thought going back to just having 1 superpower set would be a little limiting after having a set of 4 in SS, but I actually quite liked not having to switch back and forth for different situations. This might be because it made the game overall feel more concise. I just liked that it was a shorter bite-sized game, that is highly tuned, focused, and features a engaging storyline. Certainly recommended at $15!
