Still with the new one out, your little review and various bits you've been posting have me super excited to play! Also have heavy rain too, so I'm kinda itching to give that a go now, but I have like a million games downloaded to play as well...

Being late to the party is awesome for how cheap stuff can be but not for the volume of stuff to play =p

Haha with how negative I usually am, the fact I am positive about inFAMOUS 2 is like the ultimate seal of approval

I love the inFamous series, 2 had the better gameplay but I think 1 had the better story.

Just took Festival of Blood out for a test spin. DIS GON BE GOOD.

Yeah there wasn't a lot too inFAMOUS 2. It might be one of my main (and only) criticisms, the lack of variety - or general huge length of the game - would have felt more justified if there was.

I never played Festival of Blood tell me how it is.

Yeah and the storyline kind of felt shitty either way you went. It was like Dark Choice A or Dark Choice B.

So far I've turned into a vampire, got the power to fly (well sort of, isn't that what Cole always wanted? ) and am running around the city feeding on humans and slaying vampires IT IS AWESOME. Not to mention this is the New Marais festival "Pyres Night" so the whole town is crazy.

It's disappointing that the karmic system has been removed, it'd have been fun to fight your urges and play as a heroic vampire like Angel but it is nice that as there is no karmic system to aim at, you can just unleash hell without consequence (well other than the players soul I guess )

In terms of inFAMOUS 2 the real thing that pissed me off about the ending was the lack of choice. Both in the fact that one was a necessary evil and the other one not so much, who even decides this? But also as you were bound by your karmic stance, the choice was taken. I wanted to actually side with the Beast *don't look at me that way!* but I'd have to go away and remove three bars of good karma and gain evil karma just to do it. Fuck that, I'm not that dedicated.

Took Anarchy Reigns out for a spin, it's okay.

The single player is great, the online is basically dead and you can simulate online matches which is a FANTASTIC feature but it's also BRUTALLY difficult which kinda ruins the point for me. Meh. At least so far the single player isn't quite so punishing.

Didn't realise my copy of Heavy Rain had extra content on the disk, played the Taxidermist and was done in like half an hour. It was basically just one long fight scene which the 2013 Maniac appeared to rip off. I think I'm done with this game now.

Jesus christ! I'm trying to unlock the secret minigame in Tatsunoko vs Capcom and it's like a living hell!

Playing more of Festival of Blood. It's okay. At first the charm is huge but as it goes on, you realise there isn't much to it. That was the problem with inFAMOUS 2 as well, but the charm of that lasted a lot longer before the repetition became monotonous.

Still trudging along Bravely Default, I'm about to fight Lord Delorosso.

I like how the guy appears behind the group in a puff of smoke and the four don't even react.

Im playing on easy but with the encounter rate maxed out so the grind hasn't been totally terrible, my characters are about level 67 but MAN does the difficult spike during this quest line.

The dragons alone were rather troublesome and took me almost half an hour a piece to beat.

And I like h ow self aware this game is, there's so much world building that I can by the fact that people actually use asterisk stones as part of their everyday life.

I'm fighting Lord Delorosso on chapter 4 so we'll see how that goes with my current builds.
