For real, this game is probably the most underrated game ever.

I'm sort of dabbling in many titles at the same time these days. I got Wind Waker going (although it will be my second playthrough) and then Saints Row the Third, Battlefield 3 and the first The Witcher which I thought I'd play through as I wanna try the second one.

Besides Wind Waker which I already love, none of the others have succeeded in really motivating me. I gather Battlefield 3 is more interesting in multiplayer, but I'm currently going through the 1 player campaign and it basically feels like Call of Duty with more interactive environments. It's alright, but doesn't exactly feel fresh.

Saints Row the Third seems fun, but perhaps a bit shallow. I like GTA for the fact the worlds Rockstar create pull you in like a good movie. Saints Row is like an unhinged GTA and seems fun, but I think I still prefer the GTA series, if only for their immersiveness.

The Witcher is a game I tried when it was new and I played a while, but then lost interest. I thought the dialogues and so on were pretty horrid and that turned me off. Then, before the release of The Witcher 2, I saw the enhanced version of the first game was on a special offer on gog.com. Many aspects, including dialogues, are polished and so I thought I'd give it a try. I have to say the game has aged though and I'm not positive I'm going to find the motivation to play through it.

RESIDENT EVIL 5.

I hatelove it. The controls are frustrating and ineffective and it's hard to see where I'm shooting in bright areas. The online versuses modes are addictive and it's very satisfying when you beat a level or section that you've been stuck at for a while. The plot is mediocre and the game play gets a bit boring after a while. It's decent but I'm looking for something new.

Really fun if you're playing with friends. I like the unlock system. It's kind of like collecting trading cards. You buy certain packs, and they give you random chances for certain cards. The more expensive the pack, the more likely you'll get rare weapons/items/upgrades.

I loved the first 2 Saints titles, I think the third has lost its appeal by trying too hard to be OTT, at some points it becomes so childish it's cringeworthy.

I've been putting off buying Mass effect 3, I know it's going drain any productivity I've got left so I'll probably end up rushing through it. Holding out for an uneventful month or two.

I found this gem in my old games:

SUCH awful graphics. But strangely, I can't stop playing it.

so yeah, I've become one of those Free To Play people who actually BUYS stuff, mostly hats and miscellaneous items though, no weapons.
