Diablo 3- As far as Action RPG's, this is probably my favorite. What a fun and addictive game. I finished the story last night with my Barbarian (level 57) and I'm playing co op with a buddy with a Crusader on Hardcore. The story actually wasn't too bad, if not a little cliche. The real hook for this game is the loot and leveling up. The game does a wonderful job of blending it all together and making it fun getting new weapons and armor every few levels without getting stale.

I was worried I wouldn't like this game after my disappointment with Dragon's Crown, but this game is sooooooo much better (IMO). It reminds me of the X-Men Legends and Ultimate Alliance games.

Luke is the NES master. He is the only person to ever finish Bayou Billy.

Yes that is true skill. Not only in beating that game, but sticking with it.

I had that game when I was a kid, and besides the difficulty, the only thing I remember is when you power it up and the title screen announcer. I hated that guy.

Infamous Second Son

I feel like First Light is a better example of how to do an Infamous game, as it's just short enough to not lose your interest. I was pretty bored with Second Son by the time I beat it. When you get right down to it, for however much they pretend to be comic book super hero games, the Infamous games are really just third person shooters. Or as one funny review I read put it, "generic shooters with delusions of grandeur." Sure, there are some fun powers you can use, but combat generally boils down to shooting at people and taking cover. Rinse, repeat. That's the whole game in a nutshell. And given that there are fifty billion shooters on the market today, Second Son doesn't stay very interesting for very long

Also, the game completely jumps the shark once that stupid, twerp Eugene comes into the story. Suddenly, Infamous tries to become Darksiders - and it's completely ridiculous. Now you're fighting angels and demons and fighting some huge monster in some netherworld

Fucking stupid

It's pretty much all downhill from there. You acquire a completely lame and useless new power after that (video power), which just feels like a downgrade from your previously acquired neon powers. It also doesn't help that the character you get the power from is repeatedly shown doing FAR more bad ass things with it than you get to do.

The story from this point on in the game plays out in very predictable fashion and the characters never really become compelling or interesting

It boggles the mind that this is the same studio that made the Sly Cooper games, as these characters exhibit absolutely none of the charm those characters had. They're bland, cardboard, cut out characters that feel like they came out of a marketing meeting.

When all is said and done, Infamous games are generic, cookie cutter games aimed at not very discriminating young gamers(i.e. teens). They can be fun in small bursts though, but feel like bargain bin titles rather than "must play" material.

I used to love Sucker Punch, now they feel like just another generic game developer.

Bayou Billy almost broke my spirit.

Still to this day I'm consider myself extremely lucky if I make it to Bourbon street.

That that terrible noise of Billy dying..."Euuuahh!" haunts me. Sounds more like a dry heave than anything.

I imagine Luke as one of those crazy post traumatic war Vietnam vets now.

In the past two weeks I have finished the original trilogy of Armored Core games on PS1. Here are my thoughts:

Armored Core
It's pretty surprising how great Armored Core is, considering it was From Software's initial foray into mech combat. Indeed, From Software got much more right, then they got wrong, with their first attempt. The all important customization extravaganza we mech geeks crave is in full effect here. Unfortunately a flaky camera, somewhat absent OST, and threadbare plot presentation sap some of the fun. All the same there's plenty of fast paced giant robot battling fun to be had with the original Armored Core. 7/10

Armored Core: Project Phantasma
Armored Core: Project Phantasma is an expansion pack to the first Armored Core, so play AC first and then load your AC saved game into AC:PP for an edge. The new AC:PP plot has decent depth and good cutscenes to involve the player. The missions this time are fewer, but are more detailed in execution (and actually have consistent BGM). The new Arena Mode is an enthralling blast, and now there's also two-player split-screen battles. As an expansion pack Project Phantasma improves greatly upon its progenitor in fun and meaningful ways, though the camera will still drive you bonkers at times. 8/10

Amored Core: Master Of Arena
Armored Core: Master Of Arena is an expansion pack for Armored Core, or Armored Core: Project Phantasma. You can import your saved game's AC from either of those games into Master Of Arena. As an expansion pack Master Of Arena adds 19 new missions that are quite fun, as well as a Sub-Arena, Arena, Ex Arena, and a Ranker Arena. Being the third game in this series on PS1, Master Of Arena doesn't offer much new outside tons of Arena style battles and slightly upgraded AI. That said, if you're a fan of Armored Core or Armored Core: Project Phantasma, you'll find plenty more of the same AC style fun to be had with this one. 8.5/10

Now I'm going to go back to Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl and finish it up.

Im yet to actually play one by myself but this is the very exact though it comes to my mind when i see someone playin it.

He should try downloading some of the DLC of games he hates. That might be helpful.
