I wish rather than simple date started date finished, there was a way to actually track hours played.
Me too! I'm not sure if Velocity has an in-game timer or not

It does, but I lost my save when moving to a bigger memory card because I'm dumb and didn't auto upload my save data...

Think I'm going to try to rush through the Watch Dogs campaign and ignore the side stuff so I can sell the game off. Still really dislike the online stuff. It never seems fun so much as something that pops up right when I'm at a mission marker.

Plus I hate the main character's chronic case of Batman voice.

 
It's pretty bad ass so far.

I had wanted to play that since they announced it was coming to Wii all those moons ago (because that's all I had). Of coirse it never came out on it and it's never been on sale since I've had a PS3. Looked like a great Mega Man clone.
 
I really want to watch The Killing, just have to get around to it. I watched Orange is the new black and thought season 1 was fantastic, but season 2 took a huge nose dive. I also watched the first season of House of Cards, but really need to get my shit together and watch season 2.
Season 2 was much better than season 1, IMO, with the exception of one particular element I didn't like at all.

This:

The whole thing with Doug Stamper and Rachel Posner. Doug was fairly interesting in s1, but a huge loser in s2 and dragged things down quite a bit.

OTOH, the thing I disliked most about s1 was the relationship with Zoe Barnes, which was handled great in S2, so...

The killing season one and two is great, season three is a new case and wasn't that good....
 
Finally beat the
fireball boss
in Rogue Legacy's The Maya, and it only took me until I was Level 87! :wall:

I'm not looking forward to the
endless-slime boss,
no sirree.
That one I beat at like...level 20. It wasn't hard once I figured out the basic pattern.

The second one I haven't beat yet. I've tried about ten times using the Architect, but I just got annoyed since there wasn't an easy way to handle it. The biggest annoyance was the spawning locks. Probably having character that can cast the crow spell would be the way to go for this boss? Maybe I'll look up a strategy.

Right now I'm just focusing on leveling up my character. I screwed myself over there by going for the plat first, which means I have all but 2 upgrades now (which each cost like $5k so won't be happening soon). I hit level 43 or so last night and have switched to leveling up equipment, health, attack, and armor for better survivability. I think I played ~4 hours last night. Restarting with a new character is way too fast and compelling. Very much like OlliOlli and Luftrausers in the "one more try" addictivity. Such a good game.

Yeah, most of the side stuff is pretty lackluster but I highly encourage you to check out the Gang Hideouts. They play a lot like Splinter Cell with the stealth and its very satisfying to do.

 
Finally found the last shard in Infamous and got the platinum.  It was down low in a park on top a rock in the Historic District.  I was bored just running around looking so decided to do most of the side missions and hope I would stumble across it.  All but cleared the other two islands.  Was spamming L1 as I did the missions.  Was riding / escorting a bus and it finally showed up on the mini radar.  I almost didn't believe it.

Glad to be done with this finally.  Now I can move onto another game.  Not sure what.  Infamous 2, Festival of Blood, Saints Row 4 or maybe finish up the single player on Injustice Gods Among Us or something else.

Anyone have madden 12 that could help on the trade trophy? Guess I have to trade for a better card and only guy that has trades listed isn't accepting any trades I offer?!?

Injustice, IMO. No reason to burn yourself out on Infamous and SR is another 3rd person game as well.

I'd have to look again, but I think the plat took me like 7 or 8 in game hours. I'll agree that it wasn't that bad for me either - 50 was the only course I had to retry more than 10 times I think.

I won't be back around my PS3 until Wednesday night, but if you haven't gotten it by then, I should be able to help you out. I took a glance at the trophy list and it looks pretty easy since the MUT ones are just play a certain number. I can't remember, but those can be played offline right? If so, I might go back just to get the plat.

I'd say whatever you do, don't play another Infamous game so soon after that. Franchise fatigue can really ruin a good game.

The boss itself wasn't hard to figure out--I had more trouble dealing with the spike-balls floating around that can throw off your rhythm. I was able to finally defeat him using a character with dwarfism.

It took me quite a few tries to beat the super-version of that boss, though. I'm glad you're allowed to immediately try again should you die against those.

Kind of worried. My kid and I were just playing some Sonic Racing, when the screen went black. Thought to myself it was no big deal, and restarted the system. Then after the very next event we played, the sound cut out, frame rate started chugging, and the game never returned to the World Tour screen. Restarted it again and played through an event in single player with no issues. Anyone else had trouble with this game, or should I be worried about my PS3?

Ty another game. If you're having issues, might be the system. If not, then it's probably the game.

We've put maybe 5 hours into it so far with no problems, but today's only the second time we've played multiplayer in the World Tour, so maybe that's got something to do with it. I guess I'll know more about it when I fire up Dante's Inferno tonight.

Yeah, and then maybe after that you can let us know what happens when you play a good game.

Ultimate Team is completely online.
