Feeling kinda meh about Skyrim at this point, it has such little variation in locations and mission types it becomes a grind fairly quickly. It doesn't help that the game doesn't seem to want to end, I killed Alduin assuming he was the big bad, but he was just a blip. Missions have been coming in for hours after him and are still coming.

trust me, that's how skyrim is. it generates more missions for you so you can keep playing. have you tried any of the DLC? that usually spices it up some more.

Nope. Was never really a big fan of the game but it just gives me something to do. I was quite into it for a while, there is a lot to like but you've basically seen it all in the first ten hours then there is like another two hundred hours left to go after that. I'm not sure if I'll even bother playing the main game until the end, let alone buying DLC for it.

Yeah. I lost my interest in Skyrim because of stuff like that, too. It seems like The Elder Scrolls games have about a million different story lines you could follow, but none of them are important. It hypes up Alduin, but the game just...Keeps going.

The game is fun, as all Elder Scrolls games I played are (Morrowind and onward. Never played Daggerfall or Arena), but after a certain point, you become a titan and there is no challenge.

Anyway, recently started playing some more Injustice: Gods Among Us. It's fun, and I managed to win a first to 3 against a Zod (A character I have no experience fighting against because he was both released a few days back and I haven't been watching much videos of him) and won a first to 5 against a guy who's rank was about 30 levels higher (My measly 41 vs. his 74), all while using a lower tiered character (Ares) against his top tier nonsense (Killer Frost and Superman), so that made me feel good.
Also helped that they released a free costume for Ares a few days back to incentivize me . Not gonna lie, the free costume was the reason why I started playing today (I was afraid it was a timed release).

I am stuck in Arkham city, i think this is the last time you fight the Joker but the area is blocked off by way to many snipers. I can manage to defeat most of them they still kill me.

Final Fantasy XIII: Still loving it, but the Chapter 12 opening cut scene was a big WTF?

Actually the only thing I really didn't like about Skyrim was, shockingly, its lack of freedom of choice. Missions are given to you whether you like it or not, and many of them have just one solution. It utterly ruins the role-playing aspect, requiring me to reload saves just to make sure I didn't receive the mission.

For instance, there was a Daedra hunter who requested my help in Markarth. It turns out that it was a trick by a powerful Daedric lord, who requested my help in torturing an enemy of his. There is literally no way to finish this quest without committing murder somehow or another and it is really annoying when role-playing a good character.

There was an opportunity to say no to the Daedric Lord, but it accomplished nothing, the mission was still in your journal and uncompleted. So the only way for a good character to resolve this mission is to not get it at all, meaning I had to avoid talking to that person. Now this wouldn't be a problem if he didn't automatically rope me into a conversation as I so much as neared him.

This is only one instance out of many. How about when I had to either work with or assassinate the leader of the Forsworn? Or when I had to kill a defenseless old lady to stop the Dark Brotherhood?

Some Random Things Sentai Misses in Video Games Because He Really is a Nossan

Password Saving - Megaman comes to mind almost immediately. From having to match different colored balls, to having to remember faces.

Flashing Bosses - Alot of good classic Arcade games used this trick. As you defeat a boss he would start flashing white and orange. The quicker he flashed, the closer you were to winning.

Games Without Multiplayer - I hate multiplayer. And I think it's because of Call of Duty. I love Call of Duty's Single Player, Modern Combat especially. But.. Recently games have been giving out really lackluster short single player campaigns, just to say they have one, so they spend all their time and resources on multiplayer missions that some twelve year old in his parents basement is always better at than you anyway.

Game Genie - I had one for the original Nintendo and loved it. Game Shark not so much...

I love multiplayer.
Granted, I'm a huge fan of fighting games, so having the opportunity to fight my brother in them was always great.
The first time I got to play a fighting game online. Oh god. I practically fainted in pleasure. My brother (And eventual brothers) tended to quickly drop below me in terms of skill, so I never really ascended in skill when it came to playing most fighters. Having the chance to play others online and constantly hone my gameplay was a godsend when you realized that the computer AI in fighters tend to just read inputs to beat the player.

I've become totally spoiled by this, too. I grew up playing fighting games with my friend Brian, who always kicked my ass at all of them. I did some online play with friends over arcade emulators back in the mid-00s, but didn't get that into it. It wasn't until this year that I decided I was tired of watching fighting game streams and wanted to play, too. So I got out my clearance aisle copy of SFxT, bought a month of Gold, and dove right into the world of online fighting games.

And immediately got my ass kicked.

I'm not very good at SFxT. Thankfully Injustice came out and it's both crazy fun and I'm really good at it (around 1200th overall in ranked matches). I mostly play Wonder Woman and Batgirl, although I'm experimenting with Hawkgirl now that her awesome Earth 2 skin is out.
