Dragon's Dogma (PS3):
Attempt to make the first action RPG with combat that doesn't suck ass is commendable, but the headache inducing framerate and RPG grind tropes made me scratch it off my "to buy in the future" list.
I was already struggling with painful framerate but when they asked me to collect five specific flowers that only appear in some area only during the night i lost all interest.
Sengoku Basara 3 Utage:
Played japanese version a bit. All menues are in moon, so it took me a while to start the campaign. Fortunately my random pick ended up to be Mogami Yoshiaki.
He is super funny and super fun to kill hundreds of poor mooks.
Not gonna start playing Sengoku Basara proper, but it's cool to give it a look to see what's it about.
I changed my work PC and now i can finally login into steam directly from my workplace. Now i can play Steam games on lunch breaks. This should do some good for some of my neglected steam games, like
Stealth bastard Deluxe. I S-ranked half of the game due to this.
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (PPSSPP):
"Body dragging simulator" moniker is right. Most of the levels are pretty small and missions are pretty brief but the majority of it you will be spending dragging bodies to the truck of closest box.
Managing your growing army of soldiers with random animal names gets tedious, ultimately you don't really need it though, except for spy units.
Playing as other characters somewhat breaks the monotony though. It's pretty funny to play as a wimpy scientist or a nurse taking down bosses.
I've defeated two bosses so far, and both took me a few restarts and i had to sacrifice a few of my guys to finish them. Their design is nothing special -- you just run around the corner and as they come out you shoot them. I didn't even bother with trying to do this non-lethally (but apparently i should have because if you defeat first boss non-lethally you recruit him as a playable character).
Overall the game is quite boring but sometimes you can do some neat metal gear things. I actually don't mind comic book style story cutscenes and the story is okay.
