Welcome to my Diary of a Madman and my quest to 100% all of the games I play. For a 'much too long bio' about me, take a look at the bottom of this post. I tried to make it my second post...but the website insists on merging the two posts...so I guess the top is just for my games and updates and the bottom my bio. Without further ado, here's my stuff!

Sadly, I don't remember too much about this game. I remember the trophy for getting to the Loom in less than 15 minutes and I remember the final fight and that I thought it was easier than the first God of War. I also remember having a much easier time with the trials compared to the first game. I know I liked it, but even after skimming over the trophies and the trophy guide...I really have nothing specific to say about this game. All I know is I really enjoyed this entire series (except for Ascension) and even though I don't remember anything specific...it's worth playing
Another entry I don't remember much about. The biggest change that sticks out in my mind is that since this was a PSP game originally, the controls are slightly different since there were fewer buttons on the PSP. It took a little getting used to, but this game was really easy and I finished it in a day and a half. I remember the Heavy Hitter trophy feeling stupid since it wasn't something you could really get by playing normal. You had to beat on that basilisk in the beginning. I also remember the joke trophy All Beam Walks Completed for walking over all the beams in the game about two minutes in (there is exactly one). I also remember liking these graphics slightly better because even though they weren't as good as the other games in the series, it was really easy to see. Honestly, for just over $3.00 a game, I really can't complain about anything here since they were all fun.
This game I probably remember the least from the series. I vaguely remember the story took place after the events of the original God of War, and that this game further shows Kratos animosity towards the Gods grow. I think I remember the controls to feel slightly less fluid in this game than in the previous versions and that the wraith enemies were pains in the asses. I don't remember disliking anything or having a particularly hard time with anything in this game...it appears it was a pretty forgettable experience. Being a PSP port, I know I had to relearn the slightly different controls again and that the graphics were a step back from God of War III. However, if you have a PS3 and a spare $20...you could do a lot worse than this series anthology and I would recommend them to anyone that hasn't played the series yet. It is gratuitous in every sense of the word...gratuitous sex, gratuitous violence...it's great!
As my wife became more and more pregnant, I spent a lot more time with her on the couch in case she needed anything...which meant I was exposed to a lot more bad TV...which meant I played more Vita games than normal during this time. Having been a huge fan of the Arkham series, I saw this game was available on the store and I had signed up for the Batman Project Platinum so figured I'd give it a go.
The game isn't bad as a Vita game. It's a 2.5D side scroller where sometimes navigating gets a little confusing since you can't always tell exactly which way you are able to go or how the environment relates to the map. It was a little annoying to do 3 playthroughs since they are all the same with the only real difference being who you defeat last. You need to do this in order to get all of the armor/gear for the platinum. I didn't find the game to be very hard and only had some difficulty finding all of the collectibles. If I recall correctly, I had some challenges getting of the Black Masks. The battle mechanics do a decent job of mirroring the main games from the PS4, but overall the story is pretty meh.
I find I need to temper my expectations when it comes to the handheld games. Obviously a game like Batman won't be anywhere near as good as on the main console. I enjoyed this game fine, but don't feel like it's something you need to go out of your way to play. I feel like Puzzle games, TBS games and Platformers are more suited to the Vita than action style games.
I really don't have much to add to this review. I absolutely loved this series, TBS games are fantastic on the Vita and this game didn't disappoint. The trophy list is much easier since it didn't require 5 playthroughs by starting at each possible zone. It took a little getting used to the slightly modified controls, but this game was perfect for the Vita. If you've never tried the XCOM series on the main consoles and have a Vita, I can't recommend this game enough.
This game was also part of the reason that I played a lot of Vita games in a row. I am a Final Fantasy fanboy from day 1 and I was drawn to this game based on the nostalgia. It looked cool how they were integrating characters from all the games and I was really looking forward to this. I was pretty disappointed. The characters are pretty childish/immature and I really didn't get attached to them at all. I thought it was a weird battle system and screwy that all the mirages stood on each others heads during battle. It was grindy and was just kind of a chore to finish. It was very easy to get distracted by other games.
None of the grind was particularly hard or bad...it was just boring and the story and game play didn't bail out the grind. I also didn't like that you basically needed to have certain mirages in your party at all times due to a peripheral skill needed for roadblocks. Nothing was more annoying or a bigger waste of time than getting to an ice block only to not have a mirage that could melt the ice. You'd need to either use an item to change your mirages on fly, or return to a save spot to change them around. With all of the mirages available, that requirement really limited the actual amount of party variety you could use. Also the trophy for getting all of the treasure chests sucked. There was no counter to let you know how many were in a zone so if you missed one, you literally had to go back and check each one. I missed one and wasted a solid hour looking for it.
I thought they did well enough with the Final Fantasy characters, and that was a little fun, but I would say this game is in the bottom third of games I've played. I don't really watch Anime and the Chibi characters weren't really my thing. I could see where people would like this game, it just wasn't for me. This game is only a super sale kind of game in my opinion.
This game is probably one of the best games I've played. I knew nothing about it going in, but saw on the PSNP front page how many people were playing it and that everyone generally loved it. I had no idea what to expect, but decided to buy it based on the PSNP hype. I was not disappointed. I know a lot of people ended up complaining that it was a typical open world game that didn't introduce anything new, but I hadn't played a ton of open world games and I absolutely loved this story. From start to finish, I couldn't stop playing this game.
While it's probably true, there was nothing game play-wise that was revolutionary, I found the controls to be very fluid and the game was really fun and easy to play. I tend to play these style games with a bow mostly stealth. I didn't use the spear a ton during my first playthrough. I really enjoy the stealth aspect of these games. Once you learn the weak spots on the enemies, they are pretty easy to take down. There were a few monsters that were pretty challenging and there is a lot of kiting and fleeing involved.
What really set this game a part for me was the story. I love the sci-fi genre and I thought this was such an interesting concept. I don't always read all of the lore in these games that are collectible, but I did stop to read all of these. This was also a game where I thought the DLC was completely worth it. My first playthrough on this game really wasn't hard at all. The game is very forgiving as the checkpoints are relatively frequent and once you get the force field armor, you really have to try to die.
Having said that, I nearly screwed myself on my NG+ Ultra Hard playthrough. I inadvertently started the end game sequence with no healing potions or anything and died...a lot. Once the sequence starts, you can't leave it...at least as far as I know. It was really challenging, getting to the different check points and if they weren't so generous with the checkpoints, I may have needed to start over. It took me a few hours to get through the whole ending sequence...in hindsight, I probably had a save file on the cloud I could have downloaded that was from before the final boss sequence...but I didn't think of it at the time.
So fun fact about me...I don't do a ton of research into a game before I play it. I'll look at the trophy list to see if there are any unobtainables or anything and maybe check a Metacritic rating...but I don't watch Youtube videos or anything. With regards to CoM, I had heard that the battles used cards so I was expecting a turn based card game when it came to the battle system. I enjoy that concept and was kind of looking forward to this game since I hadn't played anything like that since I played a Magic the Gathering game on the PC about 20 years ago. I was very disappointed when I saw that the battles were action with a weird card system. I absolutely hated it out of the gate. Because you don't have a ton of cards to start and no good sleights, and I read that you should only really use sleights...there were several battles where I had only one card left. I spent 25 minutes fighting one Fat Bandit in Agrabah before I could kill it. I had one attack card that was a 4 and it took forever for me to be able to get behind it AND attack without the attack being blocked or broken. I didn't run because there's a trophy for not running, and I didn't restart because it had been over an hour since I had saved and I didn't want to lose that progress. I thought I was going to really hate this game after that. Much to my surprise, I ended up enjoying the game. Once I got enough cards and CP where that Fat Bandit situation couldn't happen again and I started unlocking sleights, I found myself really enjoying the battle system.
