Ok folks, last time I blogged Yakuza 3 on the West was just a mirage, and now it's real.

Also, I've arrived to some new conclusions:

On the PC:
I NO LONGER HATE BETHESDA. Giving Obsidian the chance to make Fallout: New Vegas was a good move on them, and not something that any company would do, i.e., giving a chance to some of the old developers from Fallout 2 to take the franchise for a new spin. I still hate Fallout 3 though.


I AM IN LOVE WITH BIOWARE AGAIN. Dragon Age is amazing, I've barely just touched it (I've just completed the nightmare with that sleepy demon guy in the Wizard's Tower), but it is awesome and brings back so many memories of Baldur's Gate I can't help but love it.

Also, I gave a chance to Mass Effect 2. It's great. I still can't play the first one, the shooting bits are pretty bad, but ME2 is fantastic. I haven't completed it yet, but I will!


I hate default Shepard. I tried to make the roughest tough-guy I could imagine


SYSTEM SHOCK WITH MOUSE LOOK: Someone made a mod so you can use proper mouse look on the oldie System Shock. This makes the game instantly more playable than it was before. Now it works like a true FPS. The game is incredibly deep for a '94 game, when games were just mere distractions for kids, or so they thought. In fact, this game is incredibly deep for a 2010 game!




BIOSHOCK 2 IS GREAT: Another one that I haven't finished, but it's looking very solid. Love the hack tool, it solved the hack problems I had with Bioshock that I mentioned in a previous post.

On the PS3:

AFTER 2 YEARS, I FINALLY FINISHED GTA4. Incredible, it took me more than 2 years to finish that game. It was very hard to resist the compulsion to steal a car, run over a bunch of people and start shooting random cars and then escape the police and start destroying helicopters. It's all because of the Euphoria engine, it makes chaos so beautiful and irresistible, I would spend a whole day just to arrive at the spot of a mission, killing hundreds in the way.


LAST GAME I GOT FOR MY PS3 WAS BAYONETTA. It fucking rocks. Here's a game for the action fanatic. This one I've already finished, but it's immensely replayable. It allows you to turn off acquired upgrades and abilities, and it show you the full history of game time and points for every stage, once you finish the game. Since one of the unlockables requires a less than 3 hour completion time, I don't need to replay the whole game to achieve it, I can just try to reduce the time on the stages I took longer. The game is filled with jewels like this.

I'll change my header and profile text since it's no longer all true.

Also, just tried the Mount and Blade: Warband beta, it's looking pretty good, though I wish there was a full Campaign-mode multiplayer.
