Don't think I've ever 100%'d a game before (he says, after probably saying achievements "didn't matter" in that topic about them ages ago. :roll: ;-)). I say 100%, but there are still some there, for the Shivering Isles DLC. I want to move on, play some of the other very decent-to-good games that are mostly also gonna be big-hour games I've not even touched yet (Far Cry 2 and 3, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Alan Wake), as well as crack on with the Skyrim stuff I've still to do (also new DLC),but, I think I'm gonna go purchase it later. This save may end up North of 200 hours now.... :sad:


- My copy of Far Cry 2 broke.
- Alan Wake's decent, but overrated.
- Deus Ex is brilliant as a shooter, RPG, and/or stealth game.

Conclusion? Play HR!

Double that at least if you really do want to do everything. I'd done the stuff I wanted and got kinda bored so explored less and got on with the "big" storylines, but there are gonna be missions that remain uncompleted, like Umbacanno's Ayleid statues, I just can not be arsed to loot every dungeon to go find them all, especially since the financial reward which was nice at the start of the game is now totally pointless as I now have so much gold, I literally just leave very expensive pieces of enemy loot just sitting there. There are also loads of locations like caves, villages, forts, Ayleid ruins etc. that I've never even been near. So yeah, to do "everything" would be an incredibly impressive feat, which would take a huge amount of time to complete. I reckon I could do so, and if I had no other games I would, but as it stands, life is just too short! :lol:

Mitts, it was gonna go in order: FC3, 'cos my gamer mate at work is into it just now, and is a great guy to shoot the shit with about games. Then HR, 'cos I played the very first way back in about 2000 and loved it, and HR got great things said about it by fans of the original, unlike Invisible War. The synopsis of the story makes it sound like it'll have the gritty atmosphere and geo-political big-conspiracy-that-you-are-part-of feel of the first one too. :D

Then I will just focus on the trophies. How long did the achievements take?

You could probably whittle it down to a lot less than I took, to be fair it's a pretty easy game to 100% if you just do all the "big" things to get the achievements.

EDIT: Mastering a skill could take a while though if you're skipping a lotta battles...

Yeah, if you turn it down you could probably do the whole game weaponless and just punch everyone in the head and it'd still be easy!

Yep. Kinda what I meant. Still, there's an achievement in it that necessitates you to take a different path. So, I did the first one regularly, then when it came to gettin that last achievement the difficulty went straight down, I stripped naked, dropped all my shit, and just beat the absolute fuck outta anything that came my way.

Played the first level of Bioshock awhile back so decided to get back into that. Turns out I played it for a month ago which means I played a single game for a month.

Enjoying R&C 2 of course, I already like it more in some aspects. Even if don't like it more than the first in the end it still kicks ass so far and will more than likely continue to do so. I hope Clank gets back with Ratchet soon though, I am not too far in at Maktar Nebula now.

I've been playing Okami for the first time recently and I'm about 5 hours in at the moment. It started off pretty slow but I'm really getting into it... hopefully I don't get distracted when Ni no Kuni comes out.

Yeah, it was pretty good. Last fight pissed me off to no end though.
