I know that those games are designed to be tough (and my reflexes are not that good at all), but this is a whole new level of awesome (although I need to find out if I can start from the 2nd loop because it will suck if I can't).

I've played much better games.

I'm 4 hours into it and getting frustrated at the auto aim's bad habit of picking the target that will get me a bounty on my head instead of the target i need to kill for an immediate mission (note that, when these issues have come up, i've been looking straight at the target needed for the mission, and the one needed for the mission was closer than the other one).

Free Roam just isn't worth playing to me, since I don't like PvP in games for which that's not the only purpose (so i'll do pvp in Tribal Wars cause it's pvp only, but not in, say, WoW or other MMOs).

I did that one in 2 or 3 tries, but it took me around 25 minutes, heh.

A lot of them are much easier and not insanely difficult with a partner. I've done about half of them, but haven't even tried to do the one where you have to use knife/explosives to kill the juggernauts. I did the last one in the last set with my friend, it took us about an hour or so including retries. We hung out in one spot on the top deck where there is only one way in, it's through the building that is to the right once you go up the last flight of stairs. That description isn't very good, so hopefully you can understand what I'm talking about haha.

The knife/explosive one is easiest with a partner. Hide in that room in the far corner of the map with only one entrance and no windows. Have one person stand in the doorway facing out and the other crouching right next to him, against the dresser.

The one in the doorway knifes out at the juggernauts. Every time he goes down, the guy in the room revives him. You continue this for about 10 minutes; the guy in the doorway prevents the juggernauts from getting into the room; the other one prevents the knife user from staying down long enough to get killed and fail the mission.

1.)I am having issues with the one in the Airplane graveyard.
2.)I am also having issues with the wave defense one in the city with the burger town/taco joint. Once my turrets get downed I get worked.
3.)The Estate one with juggernauts is kicking my ass.
4.)The timed explosives one inside the favela - just don't have enough time.
5.)Don't have enough time on the AC-130 one either.

Tips for those would be great.

I remember the days when the success of Wizardry was running rampant all over Japan and it appeared that a rift of interest formed - only to appear to come back together again with the emergence of the internet. It appears that this rift is far greater now then it has ever been.

Some of their games that don't come to the US or sporadically come here are incredible. They are a great developer and a great influence in the anime community that continuously wins the award for worst. publisher. ever.

Overall it seems good. The combos are fluid and the stealth sections are well done. My one big complaint is that the "blue vision" (aka detective mode) seems annoying to turn on and off. I wish the game would just bring up the detective mode when it's relevant and leave it off when it's not.

Forgot that there was an actual post for games here hehe.... anyways, anyone here has Animal Crossing for the Wii and would like to exchange friends codes?

Unfortunately, it is not a strategy game like the first three - it's a first person shooter.

First: I wasn't amused by Red Dead Redemption. I'm not a PVPer so Free Roam just made me rage, and I don't have enough friends with the game to do private free roams. Single player is made boring and frustrating by the following:
1) A story that's way too slow to develop.
2) A game world with not much going on (think GTA with a mile between each building).
3) Cougars.

I canceled my GameFly subscription, am renewing WoW.

BUT, IN OTHER NEWS:
For those of you who are fans of the sadistically hard I Wanna Be The Guy games, someone has released the beta of a new version called I Wanna Be the Boshy. Boshy is the owner of justin.tv/boshytime, a specific channel on a site for streaming live video. It's essentially a tribute both to the IWBTG series and to Boshy in particular. Anyway, the beta can be found here: http://www.solgryn.org/ give it a try! It has co-op!
