Tried the "Just Cause" games. #2 looked a lot better but ultimately I turned both of them off. Not really about the games, I'm just a bit judgmental these days and a game really has to grab me or I just don't bother.

Installing the second epis0de of the walking dead telltale game at the moment. I stuck through the first, looking forward to this.

Just Cause 2 is awesome with the free multiplayer mod, otherwise it's just not engaging.


Goat Simulator
Headbutting "Michael Bay Ninja Turdles" while wearing a Deadmou5 helmet as a goat is more entertaining than I thought it would be.

Started on "The Walking Dead" Season 1.
While I realise they're not games in the traditional sense, I like the universe and the storyline. I enjoy. Have waited quite some time to actually play this.

My wife sat and watched me play the game in the beginning, and then asked me to keep playing when she was around so she could see how the story played out. Damn good writing. Wolf Among Us was really good too, Tales From the Borderlands was fun, and I actually think they'll do a good job with Minecraft: Story Mode.

Kane and Lynch - Dead Men.

This is my third attempt at playing this game.
I have been stopped by one scenario every time. I like the game. I enjoy the characters and the storyline.
I got to the scene I could never get past...it's not even that far into the game...and yet again, I could not pass it.

In case anyone familiar with this title was wondering, I am referring to a level called "reunion" where you have to protect your daughter, then fend off someone driving a big-ass tractor/trick thing.

I had the right idea the first time around as it turns out, shoot the window.
It just didn't work.
I tried some 10 times. It didn't work.
I gave up.

The second time, I thought "I'll just stick with it, I'm gonna get this done".
Nope.
Googled it. Turned out, as I said, I had the right idea.
Tried more.
Nope.
Gave up.

Then I found both titles for sale second hand VERY cheaply. It's been a few years, why not? I'm more patient these days, there's no way I'm not going to do this, I will not LET myself give up.

...but I did...
I even looked up a youtube tutorial/playthrough and the guy was doing exactly the fuck what I'd been doing all along.
Now, I'm no gaming bitch, and I'm not one to play in the "easy" team, but I turned the difficulty down.
Tried again.
Still goddamn motherfucking nothing.

I came up in the 8 and 16 bit era, I've owned and played a console (or multiples) from every single generation since, and numerous pcs.
I'm not a professional, but generally speaking, a good 19/20 games I start, I will complete.

This, is just an asshole of a stage.
Whoever okays this kind of stage to make it into a game, should have a different job, they really should.
I have tried this stage what must be a total of 50 times.
Perhaps some have not had to...but I did...
It seems to me that if I have to try something so many times the same way and it's just down to dumb luck that I'm actually getting through it - it's just time to fuck it off once and for all.

But, it kept getting to me.
I really wanted to see how it ends, play more of the stages I'd been enjoying up until that stage.
So, I cheated.
I downloaded someones complete savegame, and replaced mine with it.

I've since been playing beyond this point and I'm having no problems at all moving through it.
Maybe I should have been more patient. I'm sure many other people got past it.
I tried far more times than I was prepared to.

While I really do like this game, I would not recommend it to anyone on account of the presence of such an evil, senseless fuckwit of a stage being present at any point in the game.

For the same reason (almost) with the SAW game that I actually enjoyed and proceeded through quite well, I gave up due to a recurring pipeline puzzle.
An otherwise fun game, for me anyways.
Then someone completely sours the experience by putting something like this, or a timed/countdown mission, or an escort or protect mission where you have to cover an astoundingly stupid piece of shit NPCAI.

So, I will continue to play Kane and Lynch as I an enjoying and getting through ALL other aspects of the game without problem...but when I'm done, I think I'm going to burn the fucking thing.
