Quote:I played this year are Metal Gear Solid 3 (yea yea late to the party),Yeah, I also beat MGS3 this year. I truly enjoyed the experience. The bosses weren't boring at all, they were decent bosses. "The End" was an amazing boss. I liked this battle more than the one with Sniper Wolf in MGS1.
Quote:Xenoblade Chronicles turned out to be a big disappointment for me. It just seems really grindy. Got to get X levels to pass Y areas. I'm very tired of grinds in RPGs; I was burned by it a long time ago with a Final Fantasy. Plus, the MMO inspired combat is not interesting enough to carry the game through that kind of grindfest. Oh well. I haven't beaten it, I'll pick it up and keep going through it later.It's not really grindy, but it can be. It depends on your playstyle. I didn't even have to consider grinding in my full playthrough. Simply do the most relevant quests and sidequests if you're interested and just enjoy the game. Don't pass your judgement on the game yet, beat it first. Depending on how far you are, there's still a lot for you in store.
Quote:Another big disappointment for me was Shadows of the Colossus. Sure it has fantastic music, and the gameplay is really interesting, but the game is more or less just a boss rush. Sure the bosses are cool to fight, but it's just... that's it.... That's not the games fault. The game clearly states that you'll only be fighting giants. You can't be disappointed about something that was never intended in this game.
Shadow of the Colossus, in my opinion, was an amazing game.

runner-ups. Even if it's just a port, I hadn't touched the original game
for five years, so it felt refreshing (refreshing enough for 85+ hours
on three playthroughs on my 3DS XD). I played this almost as much as
Xenoblade Chronicles. Almost.
Did they add anything new to it?
Does it even utilize the 3D capabilities? (I doubt it)
