Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One: 0
Sly Cooper 3: 1

Deus Ex: Human Revolution: 3.5
Uncharted 3: 1
Portal 2: 1

So games I completed the most... Resistance 3, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, Half-Life 2 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution. and you guys wonder why Insomniac is my favorite game dev lollo

Most Anticipated Title: UH. inFamous 2. Followed veeeeery closely by Resistance 3. I had count down timers on my phone for both of these.

Biggest Letdown: PROBABLY LA NOIRE. I was really excited by this game but then it turns out i am 100000000000% horrible at it and it makes me want to throw my ps3 at a wall so i stopped playing it and then accidentally other games. IT SITS ON MY SHELF TELLING ME TO PLAY IT and im just like NO YOU MADE ME MAD AND ANGRY. also the ending got spoiled for me so i lost motivation.

otherwise inFamous 2 left me feeling kind of uhm...let down. a lot. I ended up replaying inFamous 1 after I beat it. It's also probably a huge reason why I haven't played it anymore than I have already yet. I mean I have played inFamous 1 IDK HOW MANY TIMES ANYMORE but at least 10 or 15 or so. i have the platinum trophy in inFamous 1 twice.

Killzone 3 was super epic but when it ended I was literally left staring at my screen like "wait.....it...it just ended?" BCUZ IDK IT WAS SUDDENLY OVER. IT JUST ENDED. THE END. its hard to describe w/o you having play the game but trust me its kind of awkward.

Also Resistance 3's ending left me kind of :c but I've grown more fond of it after playing it 45830893 times. i still tear up at the credits tho bcuz bawwww most depressing games

Most Surprising Game: I want to say the Valve titles I played. I just...IDK MAN. IDK HOW I MISSED ON THESE FOR SO LONG. Half-Life 2 is easily one of my favorite games now...and I am like years late to this party. where is half-life 3 btw and Portal 2 has been a complete blast. I CANNOT WAIT TO PLATINUM TROFIE DAT.

Favorite Game of 2011: UHM. UHMMMMM. idk how i pick. NO ITS NOT GONNA BE INFAMOUS 2, BEFORE YOU ASSUME FOR ME. :D I know its kind of shocking and I do love that game but I love the first one about 9000x more. They changed too much stuff in inFamous 2 for my taste its hard not to notice when you played the first one so much D: srsly the best part of inFamous 2 was Zeke. idk who that guy was you played as but it really wasn't the Cole I knew. :I and no, giving him a haircut didn't turn him into inFamous 1 Cole even though mostly everyone thinks that did the trick

I THINK I MIGHT SAY DEUS EX, ACTUALLY. Really hard choice though. Close seconds definitely Resistance 3, Half-Life 2 or Ratchet: Crack in Time (see a trend between this list and the "what i played the most")

Top 5 Favorite Characters:
1) ZEKE DUNBAR from inFamous 2. no one can win him at being coolest bro to ever bro. no one. i don't even have to give reasons. IDK WHY HE'S MAGICALLY SHORTER IN THIS GAME but his personality is pretty much the same unlike cole. I do miss his hilariously unrelated to anything Zeke stories though. I BET THEY TOOK THEM OUT BCUZ PEOPLE WHINED ABOUT ZEKE BEING "ANNOYING" IN THE FIRST GAME. gtfo haters i liked zeke before it was cool to like zeke. cashola.

2) David Sarif from Deus Ex: Human Revolution. surely i can't be the only one. i have many reasons for this. i could bore you with them all but i won't bcuz im sure you like ur sanity. let's just say i've over analyzed all the things in this game and they all point to sarif being an awesome dude.

3) Charlie Tent from Resistance 3: OH CHARLIE. oh man. I played Resistance 3 the first time in Sept when it came out, and I thought to myself, you know this Charlie fellow is a pretty cool guy. Then I went on with my life. BUT THEN I REPLAYED THE GAME LIKE 20 TIMES THIS MONTH and suddenly charlie is the COOLEST DUDE. he's also a huge troll who trolls you throughout the game with magic. things like "LOOK UP THERE" and when you do he runs off letting you get gunned to death by chimera. or things like "OH THIS DOOR NEEDS TO OPEN LETS FIND POWER CORES" and he waits for you to leave before suddenly realizing the door opens on its own and he runs through it. the last play i did he HERDED STEELHEADS RIGHT INTO MY FACE AND HAD ME GUNNED DOWN BY THEM. (only to say "Oh hey, you made it" thanks charlie) or when you have to protect him and he's like "ILL FOLLOW YOU" but as soon as you open the door he runs out into direct gunfire in 2.9 seconds and then bitches about being shot at. he is still the best though. my friends and i have re-named him "Charlie Trololol" because its how he rolls. he's also the icon im using to post this entry with

4) Boone from Fallout: New Vegas. HE IS ONE OF THE COMPANIONS YOU PICK UP IN THE GAME. tbh i didn't think i would like him, but i took him in my game bcuz i wanted a pack-mule i am a hoarder in fallout, what can i say but then he annihilated all the things w/ 0 effort and i was like WOW UR SO COOL and then i got attached to him and now idk if i could play the game without him. yep.

5) Jorhan Stahl from Killzone 3: this guy. ever since i saw some of the trailers with him i already thought he seemed like a cool guy. playing Killzone 3 has only told me, he is in fact, a cool guy. In fact, he is my PSN avatar right now because no one else on this list besides Zeke is available as PSN avatars I need to replay Killzone 3 just to remember the exact level of awesome this guy is.

Game that induced the most rage: Uhm. Either Sly Cooper (any of them) or Uncharted 3, honestly. Uncharted 3 had moments where it's like LETS SPAWN YOU, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THOUSANDS OF GUNFIRE, that's ok right. and its like ROOOOOOOARRRRRR. and sly cooper i just idek. pooper.

Game I want to get back to eventually in 2012: inFamous 2. Killzone 3. inFamous: Festival of Blood. Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One. Fallout: New Vegas.

Games from previous years I replayed (at some point) in 2011 Resistance: Fall of Man, Resistance 2, inFamous. i have such a bad memory there was probably more but i 100% remember playing these again

BASICALLY I LIKE GAMES.

COOL.

RIGHT.

if you read all of this you're special.

WELL I'M STEALING IT :D :D :D :D /dealwithit.gif

YEAH I DID. Not too many more...well. At least only counting games that I started this year. :I I'm still finishing games from last year...

lmfao yeah I want to replay it too. I think I remember most of what happens but a refresher would be nice. And then Stahl of course :D I need to finish replaying Killzone 2 too at some point. so many games and yes thank you SPP for Zeke because he made everything in inFamous 2 better. We will just have to forever mourn original Cole is all :'(

HOPEFULLY. I wanted to play more during my break but I've been lazy about it. I need to just play everything without being a completionist for in-game shit and trophies/achievements but it's so hard. :( I hope when my semester starts it's not ultra busy though or I won't end up getting to anything until summer...and by then I'll have at least three more games added to the list too.

luckily ive finished most of my titles...but i do not have as many games as you do. LOL. most of the ones i bought i finished as i bought them... POOR BIOSHOCK THOUGH i need to beat it this year for reals! i would say before infinite comes out but they look almost entirely unrelated so i dont have to. :D:D:D

also collecting trophies is so fun! i cannot stop. though the games where it looks impossible i dont even try to collect them. like Resistance 2... I will never get that, so i dont even try. LOL. i wish more games would have single player only trophies.. i looked at the trophies for Killzone 3 and it has too many multiplayer ones, so i probably wont get that one anyway :\ I like how Insomniac did for Resistance 3. much nicer!

yeah. yeahhhh. I have all of the games ever so LOL. you really do need to finish bioshock, though :'c it's so good. And yeah, Infinite takes place like ~30 years before Bioshock iirc so they won't really have anything to do with each other :'D

it really is. I like to try and get all the non-ridiculous single player trophies in the games I really enjoy but at the same time I need to stop because I don't have the time to do it for every single game. :(

I wish more games had single player only trophies too. Resistance 3 was definitely the best recently, so I hope Insomniac continues that trend with future game. Naughty Dog does really well with trophies too. But yeah Killzone 2 and 3s ridic multiplayer achievements will forever make me sad :( y u do dat, guerrilla games.

FFF i will ok. the bits i played i was already like OMGWOW. so idk why i didnt finish it yet. :'c I WILL THOUGH. i need to!!!!!1

and psh why stop if its fun ok. I MEAN RLY.

I am so glad they toned down their trophies. LOL. seriously though they usually always do pretty good with their trophy stuff. Insomniac has often included "skill points" in their games before trophies were around (resistance 1 has them, and all their ratchet games) and they're all pretty much do-able also. SO IDG WHY THEY DID THAT WITH THE R2 THING. though lmfao its funny bcuz in one of their full moon podcasts they did they talked about the 10k kills trophy and were like YEA IDK WHO DID THAT IDKIDK and making fun of it being the worst idea ever. so at least they know!

ITS KINDA BALLS bcuz i was thinking killzone 3 might be a fun one to plat but then...yea i saw those trophies and was like YEA NO. :D NEXT. lmfao. ill find more games to plat. just you wait.
