On the advice of trusted members I tried Harvert Moon. Snes tried first but was a little slow, then tried N64 and PSX, nicer to look at but still slow. Then jumped onto the GBA version, Friends of Mineral Town, took to it right away, just planted my first cabbage seeds B)

 

Awesome. Get a chicken as soon as you can, then put the egg in the incubator so you dont have to buy chickens anymore. Also improve your rucksack as fast as you can, it will help you gather items in the mountain and mine.

 

Done and done!

 

Also back onto Oblivion 360, days just melt away :banghead:

Bioshock on Hard - The revival thing kinda gets to me as it seems you can die without penalty so it leaves room for me to screw around, which I don't mind.

Yggdra Union - Getting screwed with morale and understanding the system is a bit complicated.

 

Also Beat FF5 and Diablo 2

I've been playing Bioshock to pass the time until GTA IV. I never even got to play Bioshock very much or get very far in it, which sucks because the game is so awesome, I'm at the part where the submarine gets blown up (trying not to spoil it for anyone else)

 

speaking of which I have a question, Sometimes I run into Big Daddies that do not have a little girl, which I can kill but then they come back how do I get the little girls to show up with them so I can finish them off and get my damn adam? I've ended up skipping a lot of them because of this. I figured I would get them later at a second run through the game but its starting to be too many for my liking.

just hang around the big daddies and they will start banging on walls and the little sisters will come out of holes in the walls.

GTA IV. Managed to snag a copy despite no pre-order. Stocks criminally low here in the UK. Had to get one from local 24-hour supermarket (Tesco). Luckily enough I have a relative working there. Unbelieveably, for the size of the shop, it only received 28 copies of GTA, 14 per platform. Well I been playing form around 1am GMT and it's now 5.30am, sleep required.

 

To summarize.

 

- Done around 20-ish missions, all a breeze

- Vehicles handle more 'realistically'. You can't throw them around corners as easily now. Plus weather conditions like rain play a big factor. Takes a bit of getting used to

- Used little of the cover system so far but it plays pretty naturally

- Looks great on my generic 32" LCD at 1080i via HDMI

- NO pop-in, ups or outs that I have noticed. Even flying down tree-lined avenues at top speed in the middle of the day there was no frame-rate issues or anything. Smooth

- The non-existant load times are great. You just walk from indoors to outdoors and that's that. Keeps everything ticking along nicely

- Serious lack of bikes. A few of the Harley-esque ones but that's all I've seen so far

- Size-wise it's pretty much on a par with SA, but without all the crappy patches of empty countryside etc

- A lot was made of the vertical space but, being used to Crackdown, it's not come into play for me. Everything still plays pretty much at ground level, at least so far

- The phone is a great tool. Make dates, arrange Pool games in a quick call

- GPS is very useful too, and way-markers can be set to make journeys that much more direct

- Pressing B in Standard mode (in a car) will activate Cinematic camera. Not bad, but if you click the left stick beforehand then Cinematic mode becomes Slo-mo Cinematic mode, making for some great slow motion car wrecks, handbrake turns etc

- Handy mission re-try is activated by replying to a text message on your phone. You are then transported back to the location of that previous mission (Trip Skip)

 

Enjoyable so far. Cut scenes are much more immersive than before, and as always the music is great, this time with even more stations. That's about all I can think of for now.
