Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsEntries
- 2010-01-07 01:34:05: schmid completed the game. Completion time: 32:04:15, title: Eagle (experienced weapon handlers who racked up their headshot count)
- 2010-01-07 01:19:16: schmid: That was one long-ass cutscene! :)
- 2010-01-07 00:27:56: schmid: Yay! Sunny's outside... That's all I wanted from the ending... :)
- 2010-01-07 00:19:20: schmid: I beat the game?
- 2010-01-07 00:00:16: schmid: Haha... Solid Snake vs. Liquid - FIGHT!!! Hilarious.
- 2010-01-06 23:40:35: schmid: It's nice that Otacon has the same MacBook Pro as me :).
- 2010-01-06 20:15:02: schmid: Yes! Metal Gear on Metal Gear action!
- 2010-01-06 14:29:36: schmid: Hehe ... return to Shadow Moses. Pity that Carlsen spoiled this awesome 'flashback' for me, would have made a great surprise...
- 2010-01-06 00:55:04: schmid: Completed Act 3. Damn, that was a long ass cut-scene at the end.
- 2010-01-02 05:00:08: schmid: The Geckos are organic? Awesome.
- 2010-01-02 01:16:12: schmid: Oh man! They had way to much money to make this game. Sunny's doing a cute little dance routine on the camera, when your fully functional ingame iPod is playing the Two-Han Princess pop song. Insanity.
- 2010-01-02 01:07:34: schmid: The first game of the year! Tag-teaming with Jauert. This game gets better and better, the more you get used to the mechanics. The Metal Gear Mk. II is essentially a mobile camera, which really sets this game apart from the other games in the series. And weapon customization is another awesome feature...
- 2009-12-31 01:25:53: schmid: Playing it right now with Jauert. It's cool and very impressive in scope but has some truly ridiculous features. But that's how MGS always have been, I guess...

Guitar Hero World Tour
Entries
- 2010-01-16 20:26:34: schmid: I'm getting 4 and 5 stars at Expert in the first attempt. This sure as hell isn't as hard as Guitar Hero III.
- 2010-01-06 01:00:22: schmid: Damn, can't use my MadCatz FightStick as a drum controller in GHWT. And I thought it was such a good idea, too...
- 2009-12-30 03:18:36: schmid: Started playing together with Jauert. Played Freak on a Leash. Good stuff, except playing the song in the game reveals how simple the Korn riffs really are.
Tekken 6
Entries
- 2010-03-12 21:00:00: schmid: Played T6 against Nabaz for the first time. I wupped his ass, but he'll pick it up soon enough...
- 2010-01-27 20:04:42: schmid: I've tried ranking up my Jin with offline ghost matches, but apparently, you can only rank up to 1st Dan. So I tried going online, and it seems they've fixed the rage quit issue. Very nice.
- 2009-12-30 02:12:39: schmid got the Tekken Fanatic achievement. - Hurra! Got all achievements in Tekken 6! Had to manually start every single character's Story Mode inside Scenario Gampaign to complete the gallery. Lame. But it is done, and I'm proud :)
- 2009-12-21 00:57:09: schmid got the Machine Crusher achievement. - Used Devil Jin - assigned LP+RP to a single button, and set it to autofire. Used Hellfire Cannon and a lot of sidesteepping.
- 2009-12-05 18:19:56: schmid: Finally I completed all the horrible Scenario Campaign stuff - got all Tekken 6 achievements except for Gallery Completionist (get all movies), and Machine Crusher (defeat NANCY).
- 2009-11-20 02:47:28: schmid completed Arcade Battle with Hwoarang on Very Hard difficulty. Got tired of trying to defeat Azazel on Very Hard after playing for something like two hours. Finally, I chose Hwoarang, put my left kick button on autofire, put a mug on top of it, and looked at some videos. It worked around the fifth attempt.
- 2009-11-19 00:54:08: schmid completed Arcade Battle with Kazuya on Hard difficulty.
- 2009-11-19 00:19:36: schmid completed Arcade Battle with Jin on Medium difficulty. Used the Fightstick. First time I could get a real feel for using this for Tekken.
- 2009-11-16 03:21:35: schmid: Caught up in the ridiculousness of the online play, and the stupidity of the Scneario Campaign, I almost forgot what an awesome fighting game Tekken really is. A couple of arcade fights later, I love this game again...
- 2009-11-16 02:30:21: schmid: This is ridiculous. It seems like every other online match I play ends with the other guy rage-quitting. I don't understand: 1. Why stuff like this isn't fixed in the rules, and 2. Why people are so incredibly stupid and childish. It is really annoying, and why I don't play a lot of online games.
- 2009-11-14 21:17:05: schmid completed Scenario Campaign with Bryan Fury. Finally! I never have to play this crappy mode again... The end sequence is pretty cool though - very Return of the Jedi.
- 2009-11-14 21:05:23: schmid: 'Nice knowing you?' Is that really a befitting line to say to The Destroyer of Worlds after defeating it?
- 2009-11-14 19:30:12: schmid: Haha ... Nancy is pretty awesome to play with...
- 2009-11-14 19:26:00: schmid: Oh great - I'm a giant robot that blocks the entire screen, so I can't see anything.
- 2009-11-14 19:14:24: schmid: Grey aliens? What the F... is going on here?
- 2009-11-13 13:26:37: schmid: Even though the Scenario Campaign is completely and utterly lame gameplay-wise, the cutscenes are not all bad. I enjoyed the Alisa Bosconovitch - robot helicopter fight. For historic reasons, they should have called this mode Tekken Force, because that's basically what it is.
- 2009-11-13 13:23:53: schmid completed Arcade Battle with Bryan Fury. Cool, the grandson of Heihachi takes his place as the penultimate boss.
- 2009-11-12 23:43:49: schmid: Haha... Heihachi catches bullets in his teeth. Awesome. That guy can't be killed.
- 2009-11-12 23:15:24: schmid: Chickens released from the bodies of thugs upon death, pummeling tiny road-bears, punching bouncing pigs. This and much more you get in the 'Scenario Campaign' of Tekken 6. So there.
- 2009-11-09 19:48:11: schmid: Played the first couple of ranked matches. Man, the timing in the online play is weird... Anyways, I have a 1st Kyu ranking with Bryan (24 wins / 13 losses). Not too shabby.
- 2009-10-25 02:01:46: schmid: Oh no! I accidentally preordered this game...
Borderlands
Entries
- 2010-03-11 11:49:45: schmid completed the game with Mordechai (Hunter). Man, this game is so awesome. It's a *game*, everything is secondary to the gameplay, which is the way it should be. And the redneck western style permeates the game, right down to the cool end credits music.
- 2010-03-08 23:50:00: schmid: I've discovered the Crimson Lance Enclave. I'm very close to the end now.
- 2010-02-28 17:43:09: schmid: My Hunter is now Level 30. I'm fighting The Crimson Lance, and they're real badasses.
- 2009-12-28 23:23:01: schmid: Started a couple of new characters with Jauert and Stone: a Hunter and a Berserker.
- 2009-11-15 21:24:31: schmid: I didn't care at all about the Borderlands universe, but the excavations and weird monsters sort of strikes a H. P. Lovecraft chord with me. Which is good.
- 2009-11-08 19:25:26: schmid: Leveled up to 20. I have a Torgue KKA2 Double Anarchy SMG that fires 4x42 damage bullets. Sweet.
- 2009-11-07 23:24:40: schmid: Played the whole day with Jeppe Carlsen, Peter Buchart, and Johannes (don't know his last name). We got into a few quests that were way too hard, which made the experience less than perfect... Still fun though.
- 2009-11-06 00:35:44: schmid: Played it for the first time. Using Mordechai, the hunter, and got him to level 11.
- 2009-11-04 21:59:47: schmid: Got it in the mail. Too tired to play, though, I think...
- 2009-10-25 02:02:11: schmid: Oh no! I accidentally also preordered this game...
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Entries
- 2010-08-03 22:02:50: schmid: Playing a private game with Jauert, who got his brand new Xbox 360 S yesterday. I'm winning. :)
- 2010-07-22 15:19:34: schmid: Completed one of the harder Spec Ops missions with Jauert. Our differences of opinion regarding strategy almost ruined our success... :)
- 2010-07-21 23:00:00: schmid: Played splitscreen deathmatch with Jauert. We're pretty evenly matched, so the matches are a lot of fun.
- 2010-06-28 23:17:42: schmid completed the game on Veteran difficulty. Completed the game on Veteran (hardest) difficulty. The knife part at the end is still pretty awesome and very unpleasant...
- 2010-06-13 21:44:15: schmid: Played half the game on Veteran difficulty. The ridiculous difficulty forces me to play extremely defensively. It's an unfair challenge, but I keep making progress, so I think I'll get it eventually :).
- 2010-05-25 04:28:11: schmid: Borrowed the game from Jeppe again and tried playing some multiplayer.
- 2010-01-09 13:28:34: schmid: Now is the time of my (temporary?) retirement from MW2. I am a Specialist II (level 9) with a score of 8660 with a K/D ratio of 84/174 (1:2) - not good, I know :).
- 2010-01-09 01:24:18: schmid: I'll probably stop playing this now, since Jeppe probably wants his game back :) I have 22/69 stars in Special Ops, and I have played 4 hours of multiplayer...
- 2010-01-09 01:22:39: schmid completed Campaign on Regular difficulty. Took 08:57:38
- 2010-01-08 23:10:05: schmid: 7.62 mm Avtomat Kalashnikova 47, Fabrique Nationale de Herstal: Special Forces Combat Assault Rifle, and P90 - these are a few of my favorite things.
- 2010-01-08 21:07:12: schmid: Recapturing the White House feels good :).
- 2010-01-08 00:48:45: schmid: Completed missions 8-10 and thus nearly finished Act 2. I really enjoyed the stealthy missions 9-10.
- 2010-01-02 22:10:34: schmid: More Spec Ops with Jauert - started playing a few missions on 'Hardened' difficulty.
- 2009-12-28 04:59:00: schmid: Played Spec Ops with Jauert and Stone... Great fun.
- 2009-12-22 02:44:22: schmid: I borrowed MW2 from Jeppe and started playing for real today.
- 2009-12-02 01:26:56: schmid: Played Special Ops with Jeppe Carlsen and Peter Buchardt. Exciting!
Killzone 2
Entries
- 2010-01-05 01:35:14: schmid completed the game on Trooper difficulty. Yeah! Orchestral jungle - what better reward for completing a game? :) It took me 9.5 hours to complete it.
- 2010-01-05 01:28:42: schmid: Finally defeated that damn Radec. Knifed him repeatedly in the face and sniped his ass.
- 2010-01-03 14:49:23: schmid: I'm a Radec fan. He's so Darth Vader :)
- 2009-12-27 10:50:43: schmid: Fired it up. Pretty awesome. Can't get used to the PS3 controller for shooting, though

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Entries
- 2009-12-20 16:06:41: schmid got the Freeflow Perfection achievement.
- 2009-11-09 03:03:28: schmid got the Crack The E Nigma achievement. - Completed all riddles and figured out the identity of the Spirit of Amadeus Arkham. I roamed the halls of the Arkham Asylum for countless hours, but after the Joker was defeated, they were all strangely empty, except for the odd security guard. Still, I've found this riddle hunting strangely entertaining. I especially enjoyed the anamorphosis riddles; I spent an extraordinarily long time figuring out the first one, but the subsequent riddles of the same type were much easier...
- 2009-10-25 15:03:15: schmid completed the game with on normal difficulty.
- 2009-10-25 00:19:15: schmid: Dammit... The game froze on me.
- 2009-09-05 20:48:04: schmid: Survived the Scarecrow's visions of horror and fighting Bane in the basement of the sinister Arkham Asylum. How could this be any better?
- 2009-08-26 13:57:18: schmid: Pre-ordered it from Play.com (full price), because I got caught up by the hype surrounding this game... Waiting impatiently for it.

- 2009-12-13 23:43:06: schmid: I really don't like that Billy Kane.
- 2009-08-04 09:53:30: schmid completed the game with Andy Bogard on 2/8 (easy) difficulty and got the score: 744203. Andy is the brother of the always awesome Terry Bogard. His HCF+C move came in really handy.
- 2009-08-03 12:50:57: schmid completed the game with Terry Bogard on 1/8 (very easy) difficulty and got the score: 636103. The always awesome Terry Bogard... After playing the great Garou: Mark of the Wolves, I had to try a few of the older entries in the Fatal Fury franchise. This is the second most recent proper 2D Fatal Fury game, and it seems cool.
Alien Breed Evolution
Alien Breed EvolutionEntries
- 2009-12-16 23:37:19: schmid: Completed chapter 1 - Aftermath. I like it so far, good atmosphere and the graphics is OK. A few sound glitches, but nothing to detract too much from the overall experience.

- 2009-12-14 03:28:52: schmid completed the game with Terry, Yuri, and Gato on 1/8 (Beginner) difficulty.
- 2009-08-16 11:11:02: schmid completed the game with on 1/8 (Beginner) difficulty. Completed with the ubiquitous Terry Bogard, K', and Ralf Jones (he wasn't much use, I didn't know any moves with him). I fought Adel in the end, and the end sequence is a bit disappointing - it obviously seems like the 'bad' ending. It seems you have to defeat Kusanagi with the finishing move being a Desperation Move, a Leader Desperation Move, or the first hit of a Tag Attack, to get the real ending.

- 2009-12-13 18:44:36: schmid completed the game with Ryu on 1/8 difficulty. The engrish in this game is so great. I fought Dan (who's suspiciously powerful) in the 'Nude Place', which I'm not sure I'm into. In the end, I defeated Akuma.
- 2009-12-13 01:54:31: schmid: Ryu says: 'Those prissy punches affect me not, fool!' What's going on - is Ryu related to Mr. T?
- 2009-12-13 01:51:40: schmid: This game has the best announcer voice ever!

- 2009-08-02 13:27:55: schmid got the Save Your Quarters achievement. - Finally completed without continues. Used the stupid Zangief Double Lariat method. It was too easy...
- 2009-07-19 00:42:06: schmid completed the game with Sagat on Medium difficulty and got the score: 576012. Completed using the Fightstick :)
- 2009-07-18 10:55:18: schmid: Trying out my new Mad Catz Fightstick: Tournament Edition... It is AWESOME :)
- 2009-06-24 00:00:00: schmid got the Storied Reputation achievement. - Completed with all characters on medium. C. Viper was a bitch to complete with. But I got it done... Now I never have to play with her again - I'll just kick her ass, the next time I see Yngve. :)
- 2009-03-24 00:00:00: schmid got the World Champion achievement. - I was getting the shit kicked out of my semi-crappy Gouken on Medium difficulty. When finally completing it, I read somewhere that Seth didn't change difficulty on Hardest difficulty. This meant that I could beat him. And sure enough, during my first fight with him using Sagat, I did it.
- 2009-03-21 00:00:00: schmid: When visiting Morten, I inadvertently tried playing SF4 online. Obviously, I got totally pummelled, but the sheer excitement of it drew me into a black hole of desire. A desire, that could only be satisfied by joining the ranks of Xbox Live zombie slaves of Microsoft: Gold Members ('Gold Member' not 'Goldmember'). So, now I play SF4 online. Must ... give ... all ... my ... money ... to ... Microsoft .
- 2009-03-12 00:00:00: schmid: Trying to beat Goukens combo challenge, I just had an epiphany. Read more in my Street Fighter page.
- 2009-03-11 00:00:00: schmid got the The World Warrior achievement. - Unlocked all characters

- 2009-12-04 03:05:53: schmid completed the game with Ken on Hard 2 difficulty. Still can't defeat M. Bison, though.
- 2009-07-11 00:58:33: schmid completed the game with Guy on Normal difficulty. He's pretty cool, I kind of wish I had him in SF4... Still lost to Bison. I must get the good ending one of these days...
- 2009-06-29 23:09:00: schmid completed the game with Ryu on Easy difficulty. Lost to M. Bison and got the bad ending. Found that X-ism is my style and Turbo 1 is my speed - these most closely represent what I'm used to from SF4

- 2009-09-14 23:16:50: schmid: Completed Destiny Odyssey IX. I'm so relieved that my savegame works... :)
- 2009-09-14 10:42:49: schmid: It seems the firmware upgrade only breaks savegames, if you run a game on the wrong firmware (i.e. on a hacked firmware). Anyways, after spending copious amounts of time, I managed to fix my broken savegame. You can read about it on my wiki.

- 2009-08-27 11:32:48: schmid: It seems I have completed the prologue with The Warrior of Light (also known as the dim-whitted but lethal 'Fighter' in certain circles). This game is mad confusing with all of its point systems. Aside from HP, you have Purchase Points (PP) used to unlock stuff, Ability Points (AP) used to upgrade abilities (moves), Capacity Points (CP), determining how many abilities you can equip, Destiny Points (DP) used to move in story mode, Story Points (SP) which are converted to rewards at the end of a story, Experience Points (EXP) used for levelling and thus gaining new Abilities, and obviously, GIL, used for ... buying stuff, I guess. Also, there are Accomplishments (~ achievements). My head's about to explode. But in a good way... My next story (called Destiny Odyssey) will feature the Dark Knight/Paladin Cecil Harvey from FF4.
- 2009-08-26 18:30:00: schmid: Tried this one out for the first time today. The intro movie and soundtrack are absolutely superb for a PSP title. The game itself, although initially confusing, seems to contain some original and genuinely well-designed combat, exceeding my expectations by far.

In this game, I progress doing what I always do in open world games, running around, experimenting with the world, and destroying random stuff...
- 2009-10-27 23:44:46: schmid: I just love the randomness of all that happens in this game. I just killed a shitload of EDF soldiers, only to be defeated by a windmill, slowly sliding down from a cliff (after I shot rockets at it), slowly crushing me... Ouch.

It was great to see some of the other weapons, I especially like the shotgun; just landing in front of an unsuspecting dude and blowing his head off is very satisfying. The bosses are great - they are all structured as puzzles, and when you've understood what to do, you'll usually just finish them off without much trouble. But some levels of this game are just punishing; for instance, level 6 is pretty rough.

- 2010-05-22 05:41:56: schmid: And a few notes about the more puzzly elements - I realized the following: You can run over quicksand using the Speed Booster. Also, Speed Booster seems to break the arrow blocks, even though the arrows point towards you. You can use the Grapple Beam to attach yourself to certain flying enemies.
- 2010-05-22 05:34:19: schmid: After a long night of playing (still slightly intoxicated from the nice dinner with Jeppe Nielsen and his girlfriend Sascha), I finally resumed playing Super Metroid for real after a considerable break. I defeated Botwoon the worm by firing every single missile I had at his head. Draygon turned out to be way tougher; I finally went for the electrocution trick, and it worked. Draygon is no more, and his children buried him underground. Touching.

While playing with great concentration, I got a question from a guy in a neighbouring seat: Don't you have any better games for your laptop? Not a video game connaisseur, obviously, but he sort of crystallized the popular opinion about video game graphics, that newer is better. I don't agree. :)

The ending was totally uninteresting and disappointing in comparison to the general coolness of the game. I got almost all the items, but I decided that the explosion was not the end of the game. Actually, it was. So I only got 77 percent of the items. But on the plus side, I got 1290 kills :). The campaign took me 9:21:00 to complete.

However, the game is ridiculously frustrating at times; the punishment for not figuring out the right path is always death and restart at checkpoint. But when this game is good, it is really good.

Not that it's hard, or doesn't make sense, because it does. But it is so buggy! I died about 10 times getting stuck on the floor, and a couple of times running up to a tentacle with revved up chainsaw, sawing into it, without any result. I quickly panicked, tried again two times, to no avail, and I ended up on the bottom of the lake. Guess the fight wasn't really tested - but it could easily have been left out of the game. However, I see why they left it in - the Leviathan is an extremely nice model...

- 2009-07-30 14:03:29: schmid: Dammit! Gears seems to have roasted my savegame ... Now I can't play on Insane difficulty. Problems like that can really kill my enthusiasm. I guess I will never finish the game on that difficulty, then. Too bad.
- 2008-09-14 19:59:00: schmid completed the game with on Hardcore difficulty. I had a bit of trouble with the end of chapter 4. I guess the solution is contrary to my playing style, but to quote Cuzit from his GameFAQ: You have thirty seconds to get to the APC. Two Boomers and an Emergence hole stand in your way. The thirty seconds doesn't activate until the Emergence hole activates or one of the two Boomers falls. On Casual or Hardcore, just head outside through either door and make a huge freaking run for it. If you run quick enough, you can get to the APC before the Emergence hole appears, saving you a lot of trouble. That's the only strategy; run like hell. General RAAM is a bit too difficult on hardcore for my taste. I loaded an earlier chapter to get 12 Torque Bow shots ready for the battle. I equipped the Longshot along with the bow, and I got him. If you are having trouble, make sure you have the 12 Torque Bow shots.
- 2008-08-31 17:40:00: schmid completed the game with on Casual difficulty. Gears is very enjoyable, if you like the whole 'playing soldiers' thing. The game is seen solely from the perspective of relatively mindless grunts, which somehow suits the game perfectly. By the way, the main protagnoist, Marcus Fenix, is played by John Di Maggio (Bender from Futurama). One of the other marines, Augustus Cole, seem to be inspired by his sinister namesake from X-Files episode 28 'Sleepless' - the Jacob's Ladder-inspired Vietnam-episode. But the action is like nothing I've ever played. The use of cover, the hip/shoulder fire mechanics, reloading, everything is just the way it should be, and you are pulled into the action with wonderfully realistic simulated hand-held camera and punchy and detailed sound effects. Completing the game on Casual difficulty wasn't much of a problem, indeed the game seems to be tested and designed so as to have a perfectly smooth learning curve, and annoy the player as little as possible. I found a single spot with an annoyingly placed continue point, and a few textures that weren't loaded after continuing, but that was about it. The game is short, but has plenty of multiplayer options, so I'll have to buy a second controller and try it out with some friends.

- 2009-07-03 00:00:00: schmid: I have not been playing Dead Space for a while now. I played on Hard, and it wass just too much. The fear of mutated freaks lurking around every corner is bad enough in itself - it is much worse when they actually kill you once in a while. So I ramped it down and resumed my game on Normal difficulty. Actually, I'm a bit dissatisfied with the difficulty; it is just a little too easy on normal and a little too hard on hard.

- 2009-07-25 20:49:14: schmid completed the game with Ryo Sakazaki on 4/8 difficulty.
FINALLY completed with Ryo Sakazaki. Like so many bosses in fighters, Duke is too cheap. He takes about half my life each time he get's through with an attack; that's not fun, that's just annoying. My current strategy consist of this algorithm:
- Hold block low, wait for Duke to make an attack.
- When his attack is finished, if he is within sweep range, sweep low and follow up with 4 low kicks, walk up to him, and when he rises, perform a juggling combo.
- Repeat.
- If your Power Gauge is full and Duke makes an attack that will not connect, punish him with a DOA Thrashing that has the appropriate range.
- If you are in Guard Crush state, try to dodge attacks using R1+directions.

- 2009-07-11 21:22:54: schmid completed the game with Ryu on 4/8 difficulty and got the score: 1487010. Initially, I started playing on difficulty 1/8, but when I reached Gill, the end boss, he seemed to be unfairly difficult, and I suspected a SF4-like situation, where the end boss difficulty doesn't really change with the difficulty of the other characters. So I restarted on 4/8, and sure enough, he wasn't more difficult; however, I was in better training than the first time, so he had to eat it. And eat it he did.

Had a bit of trouble with this mode, where you can't see the maze, except for the area just around Pac-man and the Ghosts; finally I employed a hack: instead of going for maximum points (= extra lives), I instead focused on staying alive for the first 7 minutes or so by just dodging the ghosts and moving back and forth the tunnels. It worked, and then I started playing 'for real' during the last few minutes. I certainly didn't get a lot of points, but now all the modes are completed.

Man, is the Persephone battle annoying; it's not the battle itself, but that you have to wait a few seconds for loading, run a few seconds, and then sit through a cutscene, and then you can try again. I lose focus every time it happens, and it ruins the experience. Why designers keep accepting these things in a modern game is beyond me.

With the training from playing on Acolyte difficulty, Warrior wasn't too hard. The bosses are still unfair, but some resource management takes the edge off them (saving Lives Of The Thousand Gods for boss fights is imperative). The fighting system is well worth playing the game again. There are still several weapons that I never really used.
- 2009-01-05 00:00:00: schmid completed the game with on Acolyte difficulty. Chapter 12 takes place inside Mount Fuji, which has erupted as a volcano. The insides of Fuji is a horrible nightmarish hell of lava and impossible shapes of rock and huge, snake-like tentacles winding themselves high into the air, joining at a huge pulsating dark heart. Crushed buildings stand teetering over the edges of the burning lava lakes, a bit reminiscent of Gears of War 2. This level has that finished, polished look, that the rest of the game is missing. One of the things that impressed me the most about the original Ninja Gaiden was the end bosses. Surrealism was applied to enable an even greater climax towards the end. The same effect is achieved in Chapter 12, when I now delve even deeper into the heart of the mountain; I am met by a hazy wind-swept forest, bathed in a blinding blue light - unlike anything I've ever seen in a game. Wonderful. But I must go now - I am attacked by robotic tripod ninjas :). Of course, the graphics is not what NG2 is about. It is about dismembering hundreds upon hundreds of evil ninjas.
- 2009-01-04 00:00:00: schmid: NG2 may not be a good-looking game overall, and indeed, the game contains some real eyesores, and all surfaces seem to be made of the same plastic material as Ryu's suit, but there are a few highlights towards the end of the game. Chapter 10, which many has seen in the trailer released before the game, is a Lovecraftian subterranean world of grey stone in improbable geometrical shapes, with winged monsters hovering in the air above. Very nice.
- 2008-12-30 00:00:00: schmid: After demonstrating NG2 to Anders V.M. on Acolyte difficulty, I decided to restart the game on this difficulty. I reached level 6 on Warrior difficulty, but it just wasn't fun anymore. Maybe I'll resume the game on Warrior difficulty later on. Acolyte roughly corresponds to playing God of War on hard difficulty, except for the NG2 bosses, the difficulty of which vary wildly.
