PixlBit

I tried to read up on the GameCube version but I couldn't find much. The game was in long development and Microsoft meddled a bit because they had just bought Rare. 

I didn't get super into Nier Automata the first time but it was probably because I got stuck early on, before I even got to a save point, so I just repeated the opening battles over and over. I got to figure out that double saw battle next time. 

Oh Severed. I think I have that on my Vita. I remember playing it for a while but not finishing it. Some puzzle got me stuck, I think. 

They made Kratos a God and now he's a barely functional old man who has to have is tiny son save his ass. Totally stupid. I loved the combat in the 4 previous God of War games but they've been getting farther and farther away from it as QTEs and heaps of story and cinematics crept into the series. I no like! Kratos smash! That's all I want, bloody chunks and flying chain blades. They're gettin' too fancy with it. 

I got past that Factory level the first time I played it. I guess I was just impatient this time. 

I'm still thinking about Deadpool. Want to play it again and finish it on Ultraviolent. Deadpool 2 in the theaters this friday!!!

Really, the camera and control is much better than many other games I've played. I tend to exagerate a little when I get frustrated with a game. It's actually a testament to how good it is overall that I'm still playing it. I have little tolerance for control issues in games. I usually quit well before finishing them. 

Yea, I was looking forward to flying, but I had to jump across these pedistals and kept falling off. Ug, nothing angers me more than having to repeat a platforming sequence over and over. 

I think Souls fans might love it. Man is it a gorgeous feast for the eyes though. It's totally worth it for the visuals. I love the way it moves into a cut scene. The only way you know it's a cut scene is that suddenly you can't control the character. Nothing visually changes at all. Great. 

That's the thing, when you approach a game, you assume it's easy to learn, actually, no learning required. It's there to entertain you, so you don't even look for a manual or list of possible moves and control scheme. Then you get stuck and say WTF! Sometimes I think I've been learning something as hard as calculous this whole time I've been playing games. 

I like a faster fighting style. This seems slow and plodding. Everything charges the heck out of you too. I end up endlessly backpedaling until I get an opening. In previous God of War games, I would charge everything and overwelm them with power and speed. That's a GOW game to me. 

I've heard they are great, and was always curious about them. Maybe I'll try one just once.
