Yet another update on my gaming goals of 2011. And Enslaved!
by mooseymcman
So, if you've been keeping up with me (and there must be a few people out there with enough free time to be doing that), then you know that a while ago I came up with some "achievable" goals for my gaming this year. And here's another update. Also, I've added one at the beginning (with an asterisk too!). *100% LA Noire, and 5-Star every case. So, you may have read that I was kinda bummed by LA...
So, if you've been keeping up with me (and there must be a few people out there with enough free time to be doing that), then you know that a while ago I came up with some "achievable" goals for my gaming this year. And here's another update. Also, I've added one at the beginning (with an asterisk too!).
*100% LA Noire, and 5-Star every case.
So, you may have read that I was kinda bummed by LA Noire's final hours, but that didn't diminish how much I loved the rest of it. So much so that I want to get 100% game completion, and get a five star rating in every case. I've found every landmark, done every street crime mission, found every newspaper, and already five starred a few missions. Now I just need to find half of the remaining film feels, and about half of the remaining cars. Yeah, it'll take a while, but it'll be worth it (not really, but what else do I have to do?).Upload at least one good LittleBigPlanet 2 level.
Progress: None since last time.Become skilled at Marvel vs. Capcom 3
Progress: Complete! Depending on how you define skilled, anyway. I'm probably out of practice, but whatever.Acquire a copy of ZHP: Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman
Progress: Complete!S-Rank Deadly Premonition
Progress: On hold until I get a new Xbox.Finish Alpha Protocol (with my friend).
Progress: We'll finish it. Someday...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: I've already tried to beat it this year, and didn't succeed, so I guess that's probably the best I'll do, at least until I replace my broken Xbox.Buy and beat Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.
Progress: To be frank, I'm still interested in that game.
Don't buy this year's Call of Duty.
Progress: Man, that trailer with in-game footage...But I'm not giving in.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: You know, I really want to play Skyward Sword. But, unless I'm mistaken, Nintendo's said nothing about the game's release date, so who knows if it'll be out this year. I hope so.Beat Yakuza 3, then buy/beat Yakuza 4.
Progress: I have beaten Yakuza 3, and Yakuza 4 should arrive some time this week.Buy the new Mortal Kombat game, and memorize some fatalities.
Progress: I have kompleted this task!Resist buying Portal 2 (or any other Valve product) until Valve gives some concrete info on the next Half-Life game.
Progress: What's that you say? Valve said something about not being at E3? Curses!
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.
Get back my S-Rank in ME2.
On hold until I get a new Xbox. Once I do, I can assure you that the first new thing I download onto it will be the last ME2 DLC, regardless of how poor it is! I mean, I bought the second DLC for ME1, and that was really bad, so I gotta keep the trend going!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.Oh, in other news, I started playing Enslaved yesterday after beating LA Noire, and I beat it today. Aside from thinking that the game is a little on the short side, and a few issues with the camera, I thought the game was really good. Surprisingly good, to be frank. And given the low prices that it can be found for (about 20 clams on Amazon right now), I wholeheartedly recommend it (assuming you like games with lots of climbing on stuff, and beating up robots with a stick).
Although, I do think it may have had more Andy Serkis that I can handle. Without spoiling anything, it gets real weird at the end. But in a way that I love. Okay, I will spoil it, but in one of those spoiler dealies.
So that's about it. My copy of Yakuza 4 should arrive soon, so I'll make sure and post about that (though I'm willing to guess that I'm going to like it).
