I just picked up WWE '13 today, my first time playing a WWE game using an engine by Yukes (last WWE game I played was Attitude for the Playstation, that was still under what Acclaim was using).

Congratulations on acquring WWE 13, R-
oemello and Pelord! I wanted to obt-
ain this title as well, but this pro-
bably wouldn't have been the
best week to get it (laugh-
s). I had some questio-
ns to ask of the ga-
meplay, but I'm
rushing now
so I be b-
ack:

(in a day or two...)

Final Fantasy X-2

Finally got around to unlocking the final stages of NiGHTS (and in the XBLA version, you unlock the Christmas stages after completing those).

Also got to play WWE '13 with some people, it was absolutely hilarious and it's all recorded :P

What do you think of Final Fantasy X-2, Kenseiden? The
wardrobe changing for attributes (aka accessorizi-
ng) upset FF purists who deemed the title FF-
lite due to the additional fluff and the lig-
hter theme. What's your take on the g-
ame if you mind not my asking? I g-
uess all of my WWE questions h-
ave been answered already a-
fter seeing a few video re-
views and reading more
of how much you bot-
h enjoy it. Some c-
haracter models
were way off
like Mike
Tyson
(if
you pr-
e-purchas-
ed it since he
was a pre-purcha-
se bonus character if
I remember correctly), b-
ut if you can adjust his mod-
el or create a better version of
him, the problem is solved. As for
myself, I haven't gamed in quite a wh-
ile now, but I plan to get back into my Vi-
ta playing on Thanksgiving Day since work k-
ept me busy all last week. What games are you
all enjoying now? Might it be the same titles I ask?

Picked up Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed earlier, I already had the game for a few days but only now just bought my own copy (and it is the Bonus Edition, with the code for Metal Sonic and the Outrun track).

Also, while I didn't preorder either game, I was also able to get the Attitude Era Mike Tyson character for WWE '13.

Congratulations with your purchase of Sonic All-Star Racing
Transformed, Pelord! I've forgotten that title was rele-
ased. In fact, there were plenty of other games th-
at were released in the past few weeks that e-
scaped my interest (not that I currently ha-
ve the funds to invest in them... laugh-
s). How is the Outrun track, Pelord?
I hope Metal Sonic is different e-
nough in terms of attributes
to not be considered a cl-
one of Sonic statistic-
ally. It's equally gr-
eat that you w-
ere able to
obtain
the
WWE e-
dition with
Tyson. I know
in the case that t-
here are plenty of ex-
tras, this tends to happ-
en in the Gamestop in my a-
rea... but it's not that commo-
n over here. I'll check for that ver-
sion when I get the chance. Have you
played both titles online as of yet, Pelord?

Final Fantasy X-2, just starting Chapter 2, 20% complete. I have Yuna at 100% as Gunner, Gun Mage and Black Wizard. Rikku 100% as a Thief and Paine at 100% as a Warrior.
Red Dead Revolver, the bar fight stage.

Yeah, I've played both games online. I downloaded Sonic the Fighters for XBLA earlier this week as well, it's only 400 points and probably the easiest gamerscore ever :P

Now it's primarily 'Dragonborn' via Skyrim. Brought the fun back to the game with a whole new island to explore. Also picked up a Wii U Thursday, so Super Mario U and Nintendo Land have been in the mix as well

I've gotten my Backloggery list updated, as I've just completed Dragon Quest IV & Super Scribblenauts (DS).

I'm currently playing Dragon Quest V (DS) & Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility (Wii)

I've never completed Red Dead Revolver. In fact, I haven't completed the sequel either
after trying out the multiplayer mode and learning how addictive it could be (laugh-
s). If I don't still own it, I'm going to see if I can acquire it... well, one day (tho-
ugh no time soon). When I did play Revolver, I got stuck trying to advance u-
p a hill near the beginning of the game and haven't gotten back to it sinc-
e. My intentions back then were to acquire Final Fantasy X-2 since I've
enjoyed X so much aside from Blitzball (which I couldn't stand), but
I didn't get the opportunity with the slew of games released aro-
und the same time. If I have it in my collection, I know I hav-
en't played it yet... though I would like to. I know what to
expect since it was heavily leaning toward the focus of
accessories being upgrades. Congratulations with y-
our progress so far, Kenseiden. How much furth-
er have you gotten since? That's great you've
manage to acquire the titles you have, Pe-
lord. Was the Sonic Fighter any good a-
t all? I think the easiest achievemen-
ts I've heard of were from Avatar
and TMNT, but for 400 points,
you may be right. We'll see.
Congratulations on acqui-
ring a Wii U, Roemell-
o! What do you thi-
nk of it and it's s-
oftware? I figu-
red you'd en-
joy Drago-
nborn.
Ho-
w did
you like t-
he trip back
to Morrowind??
Congratulations on
your latest acquisition-
s,TStodden! At one point,
I was collecting Dragon Quest
games, but now I'm lost (laughs).
What do you think of all three titles?
As for myself, I've been playing a game
called "work your butt off while the holiday
hours are still available" (laughs). I'm expecte-
d to complete it today. For X-mas, I've only picked
up a few, though I wanted to get a Wii U. Maybe ano-
ther time. For now, these will hold me until next week w-
hen I plan to get a few more like COD: Black Ops 2 and TTT 2.

I'm hoping the Xenosaga trilogy I bought will get here soon.

I've long finished Dragonborn, but it was definitely an awesome piece of DLC!! Did all quests, sidequests, found all the shouts, spells... whole deal. It wasn't a return to Morrowind for me as I never actually played Morrowind. I got into the original Xbox towards the tail end of it's life cycle, so by then, I really didn't know anything about Elder Scrolls, so never got it to play it. It if ever became a digital download on XBL, I'd get it. Oblivion was my first taste of the series.

Now I'm mainly into Mario U and playing a little WWE 13 here and there. As for the Wii U itself... it's not without it's quirks, but I guess to be expected with a new system. The big hour long update was a pain... and having to manually set up online as the systems automatic settings fail. But once ya get through all that, the system runs great! Even upconverts the old Wii games a bit! (even though Nintendo denies it does so, I seen the difference with Twilight Princess... much nicer).

That's quite the list of games, Kenseiden! Congratulations on acquiring
them all. It's a shame that I've never played a Brothers In Arms ga-
me, especially considering how well I've heard they are. They
were mentioned to have features that the more popular
military games either adopted or have yet to. I've b-
een more a Ghost Recon & Call of Duty guy duri-
ng the original X-box phase transitioning to
the 360, so I've never given too many
other military shooters a chance.
Good luck with your Xenosag-
s collection's arrival, Ken-
seiden. I still need to
play Xenoblade o-
n the Wii. D-
o you th-
ink
you'll b-
e getting t-
hat one if you
don't already own
it? I see you weren't p-
laying around with Dragon-
bord, Roemello! Congratulatio-
ns on completing it in its entirety.
It's a shame that you never got to get
into Morrowind back then before playing D-
ragonborn, because the atmosphere, buildings,
inhabitants, enemies and even music go back to th-
at time period. You would have been heavily nostalgic!
An hour long update for the Wii U? Goodness! That reminds
me of the PS3 and it's updates/installs. The upscaling is a nice
touch. I'm hoping that by the time I'm able to get one (probably in
2015... laughs), some of the problems will be addressed. Currently, I
am watching WWE 13 (the demo screens). I'll play it eventually (laughs).
Did you get Mike Tyson as a playable character? He's a pre-purchase bonus.

(from my understanding since I don't have him...)
