Ohhhh boy, I remember when I rented Shadow of Mordor when it came out and played it all through that December. Got all but ONE trophy that I still don't have. Drives me mad thinking about it... one day I need to get back and conquer that ridiculous challenge. (The White Rider)

I've only just bought a PS3... so yes! I think some of it also has to do with me not having a great computer early on and stockpiling games. Another contributor are all those bundles! Bundles of bundles!

Happy belated Backlagthday!

I saw the purpose to Geron, lending some contrast to Sadja's epic journey, and her intricate character development (and to another extent, Geron's arc facilitates the ending). In that sense, I *understand* his inclusion, but yes, he was a little poorly written, and didn't do his job nearly as well as Sadja did hers.

I'm also not sure I liked his voice actor all that much, but that might have something to do with how excellent the actors for Sadja and the Staff were. Their story was so much more interesting than Geron's (which was kind of the point, admittedly).

And I agree completely. If I hear that someone loved a game I gave them, it's a special kind of warmth that fills me. Sure, they might've played it eventually anyway, and I don't give anything with expectations it'll be used in a particular way, but it's a uniquely happy moment to give a great game to the right person. More than any other kind of gift, in my experience.

I may have transitioned into rambling at some point. Hard to say.

I really liked it. Never quite seen a story this unique, especially in games. I had some problems with the pacing, but that's small stuff compared to the good.

It's a great experience, definitely one of the most interesting adventure games I've ever played. Sadja is fascinating, such a strangely complex character.

Thank you for gifting it to me

You sound like me with crafters in Everquest 2. Or at least how I was before I decided I wanted to focus on single-player games! I think Bethesda games in general are my "zen game"! I just can't pin it down to just one.

It's likely you'll have stopped playing GW2 by the time I get back to it (as my luck usually has it) but I will be sure to look you up there nonetheless!

One of these days I'll need to get back to playing Guild Wars 2! So many fun things in that game! I *love* the personal stories. I took a hiatus from MMO's in order to play more of my single-player games, so not sure when I'll get back to it. With Mass Effect, I'm working on getting a level 60 Shepard to transfer into ME2 (and finally play that game) and also then do super-fast runthroughs of just the main quest in hardcore and insanity modes to get the final achievements I need for difficulty modes. Sometimes I do want to turn that Mako into scrap metal though.

Oooh congrats on the 100% GW2 map completion!!

Ooh! How was Murdered: Soul Suspect? That game looks really interesting!
