I don't understand why cowboom sells Wii U's without the tablet.  They're having a console flash sale and a 32gb came up for $80, console only.

 
Ughhhhh Aikman again?!?! I guess as long as the Packers are good we will get one of the top announcing teams but cmon.

$50 and a console revision to go, then I'm in.

 
Gamestop's extended return period started today, according to my receipt: "Any product purchased between 10/4/15 and 12/24/15 may be returned with receipt by 1/16/16. Product must be in resale condition. Package for new product must be unopened."
 
Nothing says you don't know pop culture like a Dominos ad with a bunch of (assumed) celebrities in it and you only recognize Richard Sherman.   :lol:

I shouldn't be looking at games to play but I really want to try killzone mercenary next on vita. Pretty good game right? Much higher rated than I thought it would be.

The SP campaign has a pretty stupid story, which makes sense since it was a last-minute addition, but that was my only complaint. It plays pretty well.

 
Me vs Zimm is looking close this week. Might lose my 3-0 streak tonight because of a few dumb decisions as to who should be on the bench.  :wall:

This took longer than I thought it would. Clocked in at about 23 hours by the time I was finished with everything. The pst.org guide says 10-20. Probably could have cut off a number of hours but the guide and trophy comments make it sound like a lot of the collectible and kill counts don't roll over--most do, though. If I'd just rushed through the first 3 playthroughs and then saved the grinding for the last one I would have knocked it down to around 15, I think.

The game isn't bad, which is weird because the story is trash, the textures are around what you'd expect for a PSP game, the target locking doesn't work well against groups of enemies, and the grappling hook is inconsistent. Despite all that, running around slaughtering ninjas like crazy is a lot of fun. There's a couple types of stealth kill; the first is to just sneak up on somebody and attack them from above/behind/the side/whatever, and the second is to do a fancy jump-in from a distance attack with a little cut scene (these require energy, but if you have enough you can target up to 10 enemies at a time and just slaughter them all in an instant.) Despite the iffyness of the grappling hook, it's still fun to fly around the map with. There's also an alchemy element which lets you make bombs and potions; the potions can be used to give you a huge boost of speed and strength, which is fun.

There are maybe 10 maps. Around the same number of enemy types. Not a lot of variation, which is made worse if you're going for the plat inefficiently (like I did.) 

The basic premise is that you ally yourself with one of three daimyos and do missions for them. Those missions can involve attacking the other daimyos, attacking random bandits, or attacking some ninja group. As you progress through the missions and demolish the other two daimyos story-related missions will also become available. The best way to play the game is to only play the story missions and the missions that hurt the other daimyos--once the other daimyos have their forces demolished enough you can kill them which triggers the story missions to end the game.

Most of the trophies come from the story progression, the difficulty (4), completing each daimyo (3), and seeing three additional ending sequences based on three choices you make during the game. The other trophies are around performing 50 kills with a secondary character, performing X stealth kills, performing each type of stealth kill, etc.. One of the trophies is for creating an ultimate alchemy item and in the process you can create a potion that will let you curb-stomp pretty much everything even on Deadly difficulty since you'll be hitting too fast and hard for the enemy to ever get a chance to retaliate.

Overall the game was pretty fun. I wish the guide had been better because it did end up being tedious by the end. If I hadn't wasted so much time grinding for trophies in specific playthroughs (that rolled over and didn't need to be grinded) then I would have enjoyed it quite a bit more. Still I don't regret the $6.99 Gamestop purchase at all.

So I started up Garden Warfare a few days back...is there really no SP mode with it?  I know the game is a primarily MP focus but that's still surprising to me.

I thought it was rad. There's a decent amount of variety in the sp and the mp is fun. The only other kz I've played is shadow fall and what little I played of that sucked in comparison.

If you care about the tropheez there's one super grind and one or two tough to get mp trophies (even boosting) but I don't mind helping with those if I can.
 
What a stupid way to waste a last timeout by Payton. He called it because he thought the officials got the review of the tying touchdown wrong.
