Another update on my gaming goals of 2011!
by mooseymcman
So...BioWare announced today that Mass Effect 3 isn't coming out this year...Which means that all of my goals related to Mass Effect 3 are, well, impossible to accomplish this year. So that means I won't be able to accomplish those goals, but hey, at least it's not my fault! Also, if everything goes correctly, I should be returning home tomorrow until the fall semester, which means I'll have to...

Also, if everything goes correctly, I should be returning home tomorrow until the fall semester, which means I'll have tons of time for getting all my other goals done. Yay!
Play through the entire Mass Effect trilogy.
Progress: Failed. I can't play a game that isn't out in this year!Buy a 3DS.
Progress: Abandoned! After spending some time with a 3DS, and taking a good long look at both the games currently available, and those announced for the rest of the year, I've decided that I don't want to buy a 3DS this year. Unless there's a big price drop, but I doubt that will happen.Upload at least one good LittleBigPlanet 2 level.
Progress: I at least played through all the tutorials, and I have some great ideas for a weird level.Become skilled at Marvel vs. Capcom 3
Progress: Complete! Depending on how you define skilled, anyway.Acquire a copy of ZHP: Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman
Progress: Complete! I've actually played it enough to get five or six different endings (note that after one play through, you can get endings at the end of each dungeon, so you can get them pretty quick).S-Rank Deadly Premonition
Progress: I have beaten the game on easy, meaning that all I have left is beating it on hard. It will be done!S-Rank Mass Effect 3
Progress: Failed! As stated above, I can't play a game that isn't out this year!Finish Alpha Protocol (with my friend).
Progress: Not much of anything has happened here since last time. Hopefully we'll have time to go at this soon.Beat Deus Ex: Human Revolution with zero kills.
Progress: I still intend on doing this. It'll probably be hard though.Try once again to beat Dead Rising (and probably not succeed).
Progress: Technically I have done this, because I played a decent chunk of DR earlier this year. But I still kinda want to finish it, especially with the "Westernized" (get it?) version of Dead Rising 2 coming out later this year.Buy and beat Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.
Progress: Game ain't out yet!
Don't buy this year's Call of Duty.
Progress: I don't think Activision has even officially announced what this game will be yet. But if it's what I think it will be (Modern Warfare 3), then I'm going to have to borrow it from someone like I did with MW2, because that game ended on a huge cliffhanger.Don't buy anything at GameStop.
Progress: Goin' strong! You won't get any of my money this year, GameStop!Buy at least one Wii game.
Progress: With rumors of the WiiWii (it's not much dumber than "Stream") becoming more widespread (especially since Nintendo said they're going to show it off at E3), there's rumors that Skyward Sword (the last Wii game I'm interested in) might pull a Twilight Princess and be on both systems, or even be a WiiWii game outright. So who knows if that'll be out. And there's literally no other Wii games that I want to buy. Maybe Mario Galaxy 2, if it went on sale. Maybe.Beat Yakuza 3, then buy/beat Yakuza 4.
Progress: I'm pretty close to the end of Yakuza 3, so that part'll be easy. I'll finish this one easily.Buy the new Mortal Kombat game, and memorize some fatalities.
Progress: I bought a kopy the other day on Amazon for $40, and it should arrive soon! And memorizing a few fatalities should be easy.Resist buying Portal 2 (or any other Valve product) until Valve gives some concrete info on the next Half-Life game.
Progress: Still going. After watching the ending of Portal 2 online, and listening to the GB Spoilercast for the game, I find my interest in the game to be zero. I didn't like what I saw, and the gameplay isn't really enough to lure me in. I'm not giving in Valve. At least say SOMETHING about Half-Life. ANYTHING! It's ridiculous that you announced Episode III years ago and have put out so much other crap in the meantime, all without saying anything concrete about this! I understand taking your sweet time with it, but putting out so much other stuff (and announcing future stuff like that Dota thing) just makes it seem like you are purposely doing this just to laugh at us! Why?!
Never give up on the other long rumored games I've been waiting for.
Progress: I have not given up yet. And I shan't. Some day I will be playing Shenmue III on my Dreamcast II whilst also playing Metroid Dread, etc.
So, yeah. Not much progress on anything, I just thought the ME3 delay justified updating my goals. I think next time I update the list I'll just omit those entirely. You know what, while I'm here, let me come up with another couple of new goals, just for you!
Get back my S-Rank in ME2.
With the release of yet another DLC thing for ME2, I realized that my S-Rank is gone. So I'll need to spend $10 (because while it costs $7, Microsoft only sells MS Points in multiples of $5 (you know, on PSN, they don't do that, once you spend over $5, you can do whatever you want)) to get that back. This is especially great given the sterling reputation this latest DLC has. Great!
See every hidden Calendar Man conversation in Batman Arkham City.
According to "the internet," Batman's greatest foe, Calendar Man, is going to be in Arkham City. And apparently if you talk to him on a holiday, he'll say different things. So, yeah.
That's about it.
