Yeah I gave up on it too. I played Chris, Leon's, and then I got about halfway through Jacob's campaign and just lost interest. I wanted to go for the platinum trophy, but just too much "work".
It hurts me to give up on it, cause it's not even a bad game. There's just nothing special about it, and combined with a few bad design choices I just can't help feeling like I'm wasting my time playing it when there's a thousand other gaming experiences I'd rather be having.
I feel old when talking to anyone my age yet too inexperienced to effectively talk to anyone older. Life is grand that way.

I thought it was a bad game. Far too many quick-time-events, and as long as you can mash buttons, you never really die because you just kick the dang zombies off of you.

I never got beyond Leon's Mission because I hated it.

Just started Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories. Have to say I have mixed feelings about this game so far. The encounter system and card style combat don't really feel that great at this point. Plus the different voice actor for Sora killed me especially since I just finished Kingdom Hearts. I was kind of glad when the game reverted to text based dialog. Anyways I guess I'm going to power through it so I can finally play KH2.

At this point I am kind of wondering if I would enjoy the GBA version of the game more then this version.

PS:
Does KH2 have the same voice actor for Sora as KH? I really liked the original Voice actor and can't stand the one they used for this one.

All the quick time events is one of the problems I had with it.

And that "kick the zombies off you" complaint could also be said about Left 4 Dead, but everyone lauds that game.

Nope. It's the same person in every game, but he hit puberty after doing the voice for Sora in KH1. So we will never hear KH1 Sora again.

Dang that is quite a change. Kind of disappointing but at least they didn't replace the guy for hitting puberty. Ill just have to get used to the voice :P.

Try a Sly Cooper game. The series has had four games so far, and Carmelita has had a new voice actress every single game :lol:

Ill get to it eventually I have 1-3 :P. It's kind of buried in my back log though. Think my current plan is to play through the Kingdom Hearts games that were available on the PS2, then its on to either the MGS series or Resident Evil 1-6(+ 3 other side entries).

Alright, I just beat the second Bowser fight in SMB64DS, and my patience finally wore out. I'm quitting the game.


Next up, I'll be starting Chrono Trigger, and maybe also Diablo 2.

I played a little Frobisher Says on Vita yesterday. What a fun and funny game! I have never played a Wario Ware game before, but if they are anything like this I might have too.

The game is free (unless you count DLC) and looks like an easy Platinum for you trophy hunters. Honestly, there is no reason not to play it. It's easy and accessible and not a game that will tax your skills or be a huge time investment. It feels like what a perfect, cheap mobile game should be like. This is way more fun than garbage like Angry Birds.

I've recently started to put a dent in a bunch of the classics I've picked up at GoG over the last while. Currently I'm playing Lords of Magic and it's actually quite charming despite all of its clunkiness. It's an nice little pause-able real-time strategy game. =)
