I liked Recetear but didn't get past the third debt collection milestone. The difficulty ramps up fast and my profit margin just wasn't able to keep up.
Organ trail is good but I say that with the following conditions. If you didn't like Oregon Trail don't bother, and the retro graphics and sound aren't everyone's thing. Also prepare to spend a lot of time scavenging.
FTL is hard to describe but I like it. It has a steep learning curve but taking out enemy ships is usually exciting.

I had to tone down the graphics of Mount & Blade so it wouldn't lag. And it was already pre-adjusted for 100% Performance. Pretty much out for this bundle.

Beat Bioshock Infinite. That was easily one of the best action games I've played in quite awhile, and that was one hell of an ending. This is a game I'll be replaying for sure.

I just beat it myself, and I'm feeling kind of... I don't know. Not as strongly as I'd thought I would. Aaaand after playing that bit after the credits, I feel a lot better. I feel like the whole DeWitt being Comstock thing could've been played out a bit better throughout the game, because as it stands it's all just kind of muddled right up until the end.

I had problems with the ending, didn't help that I missed the post-ending credits.

I dunno, I thought it was excellently well done. From what I can understand this is what basically happened: DeWitt fights in war, "The Wounded Knee", and "Boxer Rebellion" DeWitt is deeply wounded emotionally from the war 3a. Dewitt becomes religious and goes through Baptism ceremony, goes through "Rebirth" and calls himself Zachary Comstock 3b. Dewitt doesn't become religious and gets married, his wife gives birth to Anna but dies in childbirth. 4a. Comstock founded Columbia with the help of the technology Lutece invents for the floating city, experiments with quantum Physics and tears renders Comstock impotent. Comstock needs heir to continue his legacy, Comstock, with the help of Lutece, finds alternate universe in which Comstock is not impotent and already has a child ripe for his taking. 4b. DeWitt slumps into gambling addiction and is heavily indebt, his debt is possibly devised by Lutece in the first place (remember the Lutece coin toss scene? where only heads comes up? perhaps this shows that Lutece is capable of manipulating not just the fabric of time and space, but also manipulate chances and odds?), DeWitt gives Anna up to pay his debts "Give us the girl, and the debt is paid". Anna losses finger when DeWitt tries to pry her off of Comstock's hands through the tear. 5 . Years passed and Anna is given a new identity she is now Elizabeth kept in tower and groomed to become Heir 6 . Lutece feels guilty for taking away Anna from DeWitt, hires him, and tells him his target is a girl who needs to be rescued and taken back to New York, rescuee is Anna, unbeknownst to DeWitt. Lutece brings DeWitt to Comstocks Universe (The boat ride at the beginning) to rescue Anna and rightfully return her to her original father. 7 . DeWitt rescues Anna and the events in the game unfold, at the end, DeWitt kills Comstock, however, killing only this alternate universe version of Comstock will not fix any problems, becuase there are an infinite supply of alternate universes where Comstock is still alive and causing trouble, one such example of this is Rapture, although it must be one extremely far away from the current universe, they share similarities with the universe we are playing in but are still different (Elizabeth tells us this), such as Comstock = Andrew Ryan and Anna = Little sisters. They conclude that the only way to completely stop Comstock from ever existing is not to kill him over and over again, but to simply destroy the possibility of Comstock ever existing at all. The way to do this is for DeWitt to kill himslelf during the baptism, thereby completely destroying and possibility of him becoming religious and assuming the identity of Comstock. About the post credit scene: I think this scene shows us yet another alternate universe which occurs after the Comstock branch is forever erased where DeWitt never sells his daughter to Lutece and Comstock, but since this is an alternate universe, about a million other things could have happened to the child, or maybe nothing happens to Anna and we get a happy ever after story, but the scene quickly cuts off when we see the crib from an angle that's impossible to tell if Anna is in it or not, It ends with a somewhat ambiguous ending which IMO is a staple in great movies, which makes you reflect on the story instead of just being given an concluded ending.

I remember why I hate fighting games now.
Bunch of cheap assiness going on, going back to Dark Souls.

Yeah I've never been a fighting game fan. I don't have the speed to mash in those combos. EDIT: In regards to the Bioshock Infinite ending... None of it makes sense. At all. My friend pointed it out to me after she beat it. The writers, and many people don't seem to understand the rules of Time Travel, and the concept of the Multiverse in general. The ending is a paradox, specifically the death by baptism scene. Dewitt has a daughter in several universes, all the daughters from those universes go back and kill him before they were born. They then cease to exist. Because they no longer exist, they couldn't have killed him. See the problem? if they stop existing, he'd have to be alive again, but then they'd exist again, it's a loop of impossibility. That's what a paradox is. Because if they weren't born, they couldn't kill him, so then he wouldn't be dead, because no one existed to kill him. I've been told "But they're only killing the Dewitt that becomes Comstock", there weren't two DeWitt's in that universe...they're sparing the DeWitt of one set of universes from a corresponding Comstock from another set of universes. Where they've got it wrong is that you can't stop a universe from existing through some action...your action only creates another split. Comstock still exists in universes...just now there are universes where neither Comstock nor Dewitt are alive. Another point my friend brought up... He's taken back to just before he made that decision...except, he remembers everything that's happened up to now in the game...how does that work? They kill him in that moment in the past...but how does he remember everything that's happened if its in the past? He should be watching himself instead, not be in the past self. Another way of looking at it, you go back in time to kill Hitler before he comes to power, you tell him what happens in the future, and he's like "but i haven't done any of that"...he has no memories of the future, because he never experienced it...this is Hitler before it happened. you walk through a door, and suddenly you're younger Dewitt...but this Dewitt knows who Comstock is...How? Why did you travel back into your younger self's body? That makes no sense as to how time travel has worked in this world at all or else he would've traveled into Comstock's body when he entered the universe we play in the game. There's some other writing issues beyond that, but yeah... Kinda disappointing, it brings down the game a bit for me. I've brought the topic up a few times before on other boards but people just give me the same answers (Which don't answer anything), or they poorly rationalize it. The fact of the matter is, they fucked up on the ending, which is just really disappointing considering how amazing the rest of the game is. Lessee, other game related stuff... I got Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon for my 3DS, and it's just tons of fun, I really love it so far. Also got Sniper Elite Silver Star Edition, which has all the DLC, also lots of fun, the new DLC levels are fun, especially blowing up Hitlers ballsack with an M1 Garand. It's a shame there haven't been any good sniping games to come out, this is the only decent one out there. Lego City Undercover for my Wii U. This game is soooo much fun, it's basically Lego GTA, big open world, same fun Lego action from previous Lego games, with some hilarious writing. Totally worth it. MGS HD for PS3... Not much to say. I was disappointed that it didn't come with a free download for MGS Peace Walker for Vita/PSP though, I SWEAR I heard it did. Got Darksiders for free from PS+... It's meh. I can't really get into it. And Project Black Sun. Now this game is hard as fuck. It's like the Dark Souls of Metroidvania. I had a lot of trouble just getting past the first boss. It's really fun though, great sprite work, great music, and really tight gameplay. Also PS+ is fucking amazing and I wish I knew years ago that PSN was gonna be awesome and that Xbox Live just wouldn't be worth it.

Magical Diary, pretty fun actually and throws some nice curveballs that can totally fudge up your route. Will replay it down the line. Swords and Soldiers HD, fun and simple. Pick up and play and makes you smile. Painkiller: Black Edition from yesterday's sale but need a thingamabob to make Direct X9 or something run. I don't know. Not playing it yet. Lego City Undercover for my Wii U. This game is soooo much fun, it's basically Lego GTA, big open world, same fun Lego action from previous Lego games, with some hilarious writing. Totally worth it.
That game makes me think of some old Lego games I used to play, and all those Lego sets. They don't make 'em like they used to, sets wise.

So, while everyone else is playing the new Bioshock, I'll be in this corner playing the newest pokemon mystery dungeon game and Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. (which i am slightly confuzzled on. Should I play the World Ends With You before playing this game? I am so lost right now)
Also, here come bother me if you have a 3DS. I need people to harass on Streetpass: 4613-6707-8466

What are you? Some kind of filthy casual?  Playing more Weegee's Mansion 2! I wish Professor E. Gadd didn't contact you so much, it feels like Metal Gear's Codec sometimes.

Since I got Darksiders 2 (which I can't wait to play) I'm trying to plow through Darksiders as fast as I can.
