Half Life 2- 8/10
I played through this twice before and somehow it's 10x more annoying than I remember.
I haven't even gotten to the Airboat levels yet.
I actually died way more than I should and climbing ladders is more of a chore than it should be.
I always get to the top and always fall off and have to redo it all over again.
It makes me really miss Dishonored and Fallout 3. I know those came later on.
BTW Anyone love Bioshock 2 but hate the others in the series? I must be the only one.
The love the hacking, turrets, gathering sequences and a lot of things you could do in part 1.
I found it extremely hard at first, but then found I was playing it all wrong and using my guns too much.
By the end you get extremely overpowered!
Zelda: A Link to the Past - 10/10
Probably my #1 all time favorite game and I usually try to play through this every year.
Been trying to play Links Awakening (Gameboy color version) but i'm surprised how much harder it is. Haven't played it since it originally came out!
Fable 2 - 10/10
I used to be obsessed with this game when I first started it. Played through it many times and always find it fun. Only real negative is that the controls aren't as good as they could be. Feel a bit sluggish, but perfect in actual combat!
It's also extremely easy, but I don't mind.
I have so many funny memories from this game.
One of them was when I was taking my girlfriend out on a date and wanted to propose to her. I targeted the wrong women with my engagement ring and my girlfriend got mad and took off running!
I spent the next half hour trying to get her to like me enough to not run away again (let's just say the way to do this doesn't equal reality).
I also got into the bad habit of trying to impress all the locals that they liked me too much and I had tons of people hanging around my house all day and being annoying.
My wife also started complaining that she wasn't getting enough allowance for the household budget so I moved my family to a covered wagon in a pirate village!
Unrelated note. I was thinking of getting a Nintendo DS just to play all the old Castlevania DS games. Loved those!
I'm so outdated on all the portable systems that somehow I forgot the Nintendo DS couldn't play 2DS games
Hoping to play all the Dragon Quest games too despite them looking rather ugly.
The first RPG that got me hooked on them was Dragon Warrior 1 on the NES.
I eventually finished Dragon Warrior 4 and 2, but missed part 3.
It's hard to believe that Dragon Warrior 4 on the NES was like $70 on release if I remember right.
I think there were some Sega RPGS that were $80. I think it was due to the memory chip inside or whatever.
I also still miss Final Fantasy XI/Online.
The server I played on was dead so I paid money to switch to an active one but then lost interest.
For years I thought the game was just dead, but it's nowhere near that! Square Enix just hates to do server merges I guess.
A remaster for PS4 would be nice to see, but they already have FF14.
I think i've been playing FFXI since 2005 or whenever it was on the PS2 and supported dialup.
Favorite job was Beastmaster that I leveled solo and duo from 1-75 (before it was super easy to level).
Puppetmaster is really fun now, but is pretty hard to figure out without a lot of help others who play the job.
It's pretty cool soloing Shiva Prime on VD (Very Difficult) with your 2 hour.
I usually go with a Ranger build for my Automaton.
