Default Mayan Apocalypse Play Want Bin (PWB 2 Jan 2012)

It's two weeks worth of Play/Want/Bin to report today, if you like.

Play:
=-=-=

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (360) - Started a new character before the 360
died, went in the opposite direction of the quest marker and saw how well
the radiant AI system is implemented. The Warriors of A'kir are running
around on their way to Whiterun, stopping every Redguard woman they can
get close to. A mercenary has been sent from one the other holds to see
for herself why Helgen is on fire. There's news that one of the lore book
authors is in Skyrim. And there's a headless horseman for some reason? I
was tempted to do what I never did with Oblivion, which is to just ignore
the main quest and try to carve out some sort of separate RPG experience
here. Then I got bored for some reason, which probably has to do with
repeating a battle with a Spriggan five times. Of course, now I really
want to continue and the hardware's dead.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (GB) - Not the DX edition (which I
never owned) but the original Gameboy cart (which I never owned either). I
seem to recall that the first time I played the game, it was due to the
practise of young men temporarily trading cartridges in order to share the
limited riches of gaming media. Of course, this would have been in the
mid-nineties, which meant that we were negotiating such trades at the
coffee station rather than in the schoolyard. How do I get this stupid
alligator to sell me a banana?

Donkey Kong (CLV) - Had the Colecovision going because I picked up one of
these just this past Friday:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Su...o_DSCF0353.JPG

It looks lovely. And it's completely, utterly unusable. The symmetrical
design is intended to allow for left-handed or right-handed use, but
really it's got the ergonomics of a saddle horn. The 'up' direction on the
stick is also dodgy, but I'm afraid that if I open it the elves magically
contained inside will escape and I'll no longer have a working controller.

Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympics (Wii) - A lovely holiday gift.
It's the same game it was the last four times, but the first one I've
owned. Interestingly, the localisation for the US region puts the western
hemisphere countries first in the selection list, but continues to call
the team field event 'football' and not 'soccer'. I stink at the
rhythm-based games, mostly because of age and bad eyesight now.

Endless Ocean (Wii) - Not as formless or pointless as I was led to
believe. There should be more family-friendly games that don't have little
black dog noses at the end of all the faces, and where there's not a
tremendous evil to conquer or a world to save.

Ninja Assault (PS2) - I knew that Sega and Namco's light gun collaboration
was something less than the sum of its parts. But holy hell, 35 percent
accuracy in the first level earns you an S-rank? That's just a bad
difficulty curve right there.

Endgame (PS2) - Now *this* is more like it. A western-developed light gun
game that somehow slipped through my radar. Judicious use of cut scenes
makes it much more than a Time Crisis clone, in that every frame of
animation reinforces the you-against-the-world setting. It feels desperate
and like every shot matters, which in this case is actually true. I
imagine I might have felt differently if I had paid full price.

Two Worlds II (360) - Tiny text. Can't read. Opening cinema runs through
twenty RPG stereotypes in the space of as many seconds. Saving this one
for later.

Want:
=-=-=

A Guncon2 peripheral (PS2) - See the Expenditure section below for more
details.

A new Xbox 360 (360) - See the Bin section below for more details.

Bin:
=-=

My 360 (360) - It's definitively dead. No amount of cleaning or
resoldering is going to fix this bad graphics chip. I figure four years of
operation after the warranty RROD repair isn't actually worthy of
complaint. I wonder how much the other parts are worth.

Expenditure:
=--=--=--=

Time for a reset. If you'd like to participate, post your total for all of
2011 and I'll put together a fun-filled chart.

Balance Forward - $1,886

Resonance of Fate (360) - $20
Two Worlds II (360) - $15
Nier (360) - Free! (buy-two-360-games-get-one-free)
Disgaea 3 (PS3) - $15
Eureka Seven Volume 2: The New Vision (PS2) - $7
Sega Smash Pack (GBA) - $2
Endgame (PS2) - $2 (Woo! Original Guncon support.)
Ninja Assault (PS2) - $2 (What? Guncon2 only? Ripoff.)
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (GC) - $10 (bargain!)
Star Trek Invasion (PSX) - $5
Outlaw Volleyball: Red Hot (Xbox) - Free! (with purchase)
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (GB) - $3
Red Dead Revolver (Xbox) - $5
Gurumin (PSP) - $5
Stupid Invaders (DC) - $5
Super Runabout: San Francisco Edition (DC) - $5
Montezuma's Revenge (SMS) - $5
The Mafat Conspiracy (NES) - $3
Colecovision Super Action Controller (CLV) - $10 (so awesome!)
Wico Colecovision Command Control Joystick (CLV) - $10

Total for 2011 - $2,015 (Damn. If only I'd spent $4 less.)

-KKC, hunting around for his Golgo 13 cartridge.

Skyrim (360)
40 hours in so far, still loving it & enjoying writing a skyrim diary on
my blog about my adventures, back to work now so will only get a few
hours each day to play.

Sticking with one game only does limit me & I'm toying about possibly
playing Enslaved with Skyrim.

Nothing else except Borderlands 2 - still no news on a release date or
any footage from the gearbox.

Star Wars: The Old Republic (PC) - been playing my Imperial Agent who at
level 10 was set on the Operative career path, which is essentially
being a sneaky bastard who moves around in stealth before sticking the
knife in. However, I'm currently spending in the healing tree to keep
both me and my NPC companion alive while we're doing so.

My character is now level 19 and has his own spaceship which means that
now I can do the space combat missions. They make me think of Lylat Wars
(N64) for some reason (WHICH IS A GOOD THING) :-)

While the game is pretty much generic MMO fayre in some ways, the
storyline and cutscenes with dialogue choices makes it feel a 100 times
more fun than the other MMOs I've played


SpaceChem (PC) - mi brane hurtz.


Skyrim (PC) - my attention has been taken away from this by SWTOR but
I've spent a few hours wandering about killing and getting killed.

> Want:
> =-=-=


Guild Wars 2 (PC)
Diablo 3 (PC) - maybe
Prey 2 (PC) - maybe
Far Cry 3 (PC)
Trackmania 2 Canyon (PC)


> Bin:
> =-=



> Expenditure:
> =--=--=--=


I've done this in more detail in another thread but...

£ 67.71 January
£ 20.84 February
£ 71.89 March
£ 74.55 April
£106.06 May
£ 31.98 June
£119.87 July
£ 20.36 August
£ 88.81 September
£156.77 October
£ 22.08 November

£ 47.64 December so far...

+

£ 6.49 Morrowind GOTY (PC)
£ 1.74 SpaceChem (PC)
£ 1.74 Universe Sandbox (PC)

So

£ 57.65 December Total

Which means that at the end of the 2011

£819.09 2011 Final total.

=============================

So now it's 2012

£ 8.74 L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition (PC)

Hooray for Steam Sales!!!

I actually find that convenient, and if you don't mind I'll be responding
to that thread with the comparison numbers once everyone's posted.

Yes - two for me!

> Play:

Sonic Generations (3DS)
SHIT. Completed.

Pullblox (3DS)
AWESOME. Completed.

Mario Kart 7 (3DS)
ACEBEST. Completed.

Super Scribblenauts (DS)
ACES. Completed.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (360)
EXCELLENT. Achievement mop up.

Zen Pinball (3DS)
FUN. Still crap at it.

Mario vs Donkey Kong (3DS)
GREAT. Not that far in though.

Crysis 2 (360)
MEH. A few hours in. Rip of HL/AvP/Conduit so far.

Super Monkey Ball 3D (3DS)
AWFUL. Completed.

Demon's Souls (PS3)
REPETITIVE. I've better things to be doing with my time.

> Want:

Skyrim/Batman/etc. as always. Waiting for them to get cheap, but also to
rack up (COMING SOON!) before I can buy them.

> Bin:
> =-=


PS3. Total waste of time. Worst thing I bought last year. Wish I hadn't.
Had more fun with my new clutch, frankly.
God knows why I got one. I didn't learn from my PS1/PS2/PSP purchase,
clearly.
I really MUST NOT buy a Vita - at least, not until they're about 50p
anyway, and even then just to complete the collection.

> Expenditure:

£888 for the year. Mmmm, subtitles.

You'd think with two weeks of playing that it would be a packed post...

Skyrim (PC) - Finished now and stored for future DLC. I think I clocked
about 100 hours in the end, which is about what I did with Oblivion.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 (PC) - Thankfully very cheap. Played
through this in a few hours, enjoying the first half way more than the
second. The first couple of boss fights were pretty cool, but you get
the feeling that someone said "okay guys, funding just got cut. Drop
what you're doing and slap on the Vader level." when the game was about
halfway finished.

I bought a load of stuff in the steam sale for pennies, but the things
I've actually played are:

Tropico 4 (PC) - A nice and straightforward island management sim that's
got a lot more going on than just the humor. Very much a better game
than:

Cities XL (PC) - which I bought to satisfy my desire for a citybuilder
game. It's good at what it does and with the exception of the interface,
it's well presented. Just a little cold in terms of experience I think.
Tropico has lots of little asides popping up to keep you on your toes or
thinking about the game...Cities just leaves you to it.

Sonic Generations (PC) - I'm not a great fan of sonic, but I like the
structure of this one so far. The game runs fantastically well at 720p
on my PC.

Solar 2 (PC) - I wish I had all the time in the world, as it would mean
that I could waste a good portion of it playing this. I was finding
myself playing it for a good couple of hours at a time over christmas,
then exiting it and feeling like I'd wasted those hours. A smartphone
version of this would be a better idea.

A Vita.

Fucking colds. I think this is the third, slightly different cold,
that I've had in as many weeks now. My daughter is just getting over a
full on chest infection that she managed to pick up in time for chrismas
day, and the new baby sounds like we're drowning a pig in treacle when
she's trying to go to sleep.

Just Cause 2 (360) - Complet0rized. Took me 73hrs to get to 75%
completion so I could go on to complete the story (which I could have
done anyway if I wanted). And then 11hrs to quick play the story on the
hardest difficulty to get 1000G. Just goes to show what you would miss
without achievements. You could probably finish the game to credits
rolling in about 8hrs on casual difficulty but barely scratch the
surface of what you can do in the game. With achievements for all sorts
of additional stuff I got 84hrs of enjoyment out of it and excellent
value for money.

Band Hero (360) - I had one annoying online achievement left to get
1000G. Surprised to find a few people still playing online but managed
to get the achievement using two gold accounts on the same console.

Pullblox (3DS) - I quite like this. Nice easy, relaxing game to play in
short bursts.

A Kindle. Bought one for Mrs jochta for Christmas and I've read a book
on it too. Really really nice.

A new game to start. Went through my shrinkwrapped pile and nothing
inspired me to start it. Maybe I'll go back to LA Noire instead.

Only one save slot on games. My daughter wanted to play Pullblox but she
can only replay levels I have played as there is only one save.

3DS battery life. Really is pitiful, spends more time being charged than
being used.

3DS screen resolution. Zen Pinball would be really great if it didn't
look like LEGO after using the retina display.

Didn't keep tabs in 2011 but it wasn't a lot. I will keep better records
in 2012.

Interested in selling it?
Abbas now wants to revisit the game.
