Just started playing Pikmin 3, it's fun! Just got through the first day and i have no idea what i'm doing. XD

I like Brittany already, she's a funny character.

Mass Effect 3: Beat the game. I can understand the anger, but I didn't think the ending was that bad.

Pikmin 3 might be the only game beyond the upcoming Smash 4 that makes me want a Wii U.
If they release a new F-Zero or Custom Robo on the Wii U, too, then I'm gonna have to buy one, without second thought.

I don't think it was the quality of the ending explicitly, but the fact that people were quick to realize the 4 (Was it 4?) possible endings were all the same with minor bits added or removed depending on some choices, making things nebulous and the statements about "All your choices matter!" made during the first two games something of a lie.

Yeah. I mostly enjoyed the ending but they were all basically the same and most of the stuff you did had no impact in the end. It's fine if they want to have an official ending for the story they created but they shouldn't have given you options at the end if they were all going to be 95% the same no matter which one you picked.

Just beat a very difficult boss in Pikmin 3. A moment of silence for all the Steve's lost in the battle.

I also finished Kingdom Hearts 3D, this game marks as my favorite KH game with RE:Coded as my second favorite. Though it feels like they put effort in some worlds where in places like Pranksters paradise it feels like they got lazy.

I went in knowing my choices wouldn't have much impact, so that may explain why it didn't bother me as much as it should have.

I got stuck on Pikmin 3. When i found Louie i got excited, but he ends up taking your supplies which means your on a limited time. There's a boss that's like a huge rock,plant with legs and it killed all my blues.

That is how most games are. I think people got upset because the Mass Effect series was advertised as you creating the story for yourself in many ways. Especially that you could screw it all up if you made bad choices. Like in Mass Effect 2 you could die if you didn't do it right. With the 3rd game they just didn't know how to close it off while maintaining that promise. I still liked the game but it could have done better at the end.

I absolutely loved that about ME2, it's by far my favorite of the series and that is a strong reason why. It made you want to play on the hardest difficulty, it made you want to work hard to make sure every member of your team survived the suicide mission. ME3 was.. it was just a huge let down on all fronts.

I got Tales of Xillia today.

If you played Graces, they kept the CC system but it plays a lot closer to a classic Tales of game. Opening part does get a little weird because there's some gaps that aren't filled out, due to the fact that you'll also need to play Jude's story too.

Overall, I'm enjoying this more then I did Graces. The Press Select events continue to be some of the best parts of the game.
