This. This. and This. QFT!This year overall has been pretty bad in terms of me finishing games. My desire to play games was slowly dying. However, I was able to sell/trade a lot of games I really didn't have interest in playing so that helped me change my perspective. I used to buy games because they were reviewed well and were cheap at the same time. Now I'm trying to buy games I really want to play and know will enjoy.
So I bought a Nintendo Switch with Super Mario Odyssey and Steamworld Dig 2 a week ago. I've already finished both games' campaigns and now I'm working for 100% completion on both.
I often play games until there is 10% left and then stop playing them. IDK why I do this.This. This. and This. QFT!
One failed strategy after another, wasting time playing older games I tried so hard to enjoy but didn't just to knock one out of the backlog - I, too, traded a bunch of games that I knew I would not be interested in or would probably play WAY later, like when they would eventually be available for free via GwG or PS+ or super cheap.
I thought this was going to be the year of the RPG for me but after beating Dark Souls 1 and 2 relatively back to back, I digressed and started playing some games that were just mindless fun and it felt DAMN good to play the latest titles like Injustice 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn. I have since traded them in and plan to repurchase once the complete editions of both are super cheap.
I have had A LOT of death in my family recently as well as close friends and I'm humbled - time is precious and.....I may not play when I want - career, family, wife and kids, etc. - but when I do have time to play, I'm going to play what I want to play.
Don’t quit. The story rounds out nicely towards the end. Trust me, I wanted to as well but I’m glad that I did not. I played this and the Old Blood. I just started up Wolfenstein II and I’m even more glad that I did not quit the first. Stick it out - when you start the second one hopefully, like me, you will say to yourself it was worth it.Ugh, I give up on Wolfenstein: The New Order. Game feels so sluggish, and did not age well.
Made it to the prison stage, and could not get used to the forced stealth mechanics. Then while looking up online how to do it, realized there's still a wooping 12 chapters to go. All this just to play the second one too.
HA, I just beat the MvCI story mode about an hour ago. I got the same deal as well from GS had a $25 rewards certificate making it $16 for the deluxe edition! I agree, the story is not that good but I did enjoy playing through it. I like to two team better than the 3 from MvC3.I completed the story for Marvel vs Capcom Infinite. It wasn't that good. I only did it because I knew there were stage unlocks tied to it.
The game itself is fun. I got the itch to play it after having fun doing crazy Ibuki combos in Street Fighter V. I was thinking of getting the $30 standard edition at Gamestop, but then they dropped the deluxe edition further down to $40. That's a good deal for the game and season 1 pass.
That brings the games I beat this year to 16.

Thanks, I guess I'll try again eventually, at least before I play WII. But I think I'll wait a bit so I can finish up some other games and then give another try when I have a little more patience. I did really like the story though, and especially how it was told.Don’t quit. The story rounds out nicely towards the end. Trust me, I wanted to as well but I’m glad that I did not. I played this and the Old Blood. I just started up Wolfenstein II and I’m even more glad that I did not quit the first. Stick it out - when you start the second one hopefully, like me, you will say to yourself it was worth it.
Nvm, I ended up winning that match somehow. Took me like 3 more tries, but I was able to beat John Cena, Roman Reigns, The Miz, Sami Zayn, and Dean Ambrose all at once in a ladder match, while doing some super specific objectives. Not only that, but they all had ratings between 95-85 while I was stuck at 60.Ugh, I give up on WWE 2K18 now too. Got as far as I could in career mode before I ran into a ridiculously hard match with very specific win scenarios. Now I'm stuck because my character is too weak and I don't want to pay for the booster pack DLC. Its funny, I don't even remember the last time I got stuck in a game due to bad game design. It must be somewhere around the PS2 days.
No matter the sale I see on this title, I always duck out think behind this. Unless It's an Xbox Live Gold title for free!I finished Mafia III. The game isn't bad; it's just very boilerplate. The only interesting gameplay mechanic it has is you get perks from your lieutenants as you do jobs for them and assign them territories. Though even that isn't that deep, and some of their jobs are the most mundane missions in the game. Start the mission on one side of the map, drive to the other side of the map to steal a slow vehicle, and drive it back across the map. One of those missions didn't even have bad guys guarding the vehicle.
The best parts about the game are the music and voice acting. Getting several headshots with slow motion is fun. And I liked how the game presented the story through a documentary.
The game itself was worth the $10, but it might not be worth your time. I don't regret playing through it, but it left me thinking why am I playing an average video game when my backlog also has games that are regarded as being great?
Well, a big reason I decided to play this game is it's a 60GB install. I wanted to finish it so I could delete it.
Oh, that's what I did with Fall of Cybertron, but now I need to re-download it. I thought about replaying one of the chapters with a song from the 1986 movie, and that's something I really want to do.
