I usually avoid signing in to anything other than my console before playing a game. Uplay came up when I played Child of Light, but I ignored it. I got enough things I have to sign into already.
Man, Wired's Game/Life Podcast today was talking about how many of the triple-A games now are going to have in-game purchasing options. Ugh. I find it scary to have such things within a game. The temptations are too much.
I love dogs, but I haven't had one since High School, and can't have one where I live. I have virtual dogs in Minecraft instead. They are really stupid in that game though: they walk right into lava, fall down mine shafts, get blown up by creepers. You can't let them alone for a minute.
I always try and do the right thing and gently transition to something new when there's trouble but sometimes it's so bad I can't take it. Call me weak, but I got my limits.
Hey, it's The First Templar. I played the demo for that on Xbox a while back. I believe it had co-op, so I wanted to play it. It was kind of a budget title when it came out, but sometimes those games can be fun. I'll pick it up someday - can't beat 43 cents.
Oh no! Bandit! Sounds like he was begining to suffer too much though. So sad.
Good to hear from you.
You mean you didn't have to pay to get past that one boss? Just kidding. Sounds a lot like the moment in a free-to-pay game where they make it hard to encourage you to pay to get through it.
Having your own zoo in a game is neat.
Have fun at PAX. Wish I was going. Someday perhaps.
Interesting. I think I'd rather just play it within the game though. Of course, having a mobile device that could play it would maybe change my mind.
It's basically a nightmare right now for me. Not sure how it's all going to fall out, but I have an opportunity to switch to another store if I can't handle it anymore. That's something at least.
Puzzle-like games just get to me after a while. I played Angry Birds on Xbox and thought it was cool, but I eventually gave up on it. I guess it's that trial-and-error type gameplay that annoys me.
I ripped the vinyl to my ipod touch. I listen to everything on the road.
