I just fought the final boss in Risen 3 and won. What did I get for completing the game?

Just Cause 2 on the 360. Mom picked me up a triple pack because it was the same price new as the game itself in used condition. I liked the Island of Panau a lot. The factions were not particularly sympathetic, and one leader, Bolo, managed to make my mom mad. The enemy patter also pissed her off. Some of the missions were repetitive, and the game uses the 3 factions to pad a fairly short campaign. One stronghold for the Ular boys was repeated twice, but that may have been a bug.

Commuting can be a pain, and missions often leave you twenty clicks out in the boondocks.

Buying vehicles is nearly pointless, as they don't last long and are super expensive.

Weapon upgrades are worhwhile, but choose carefully. I fully upgraded the pistol, and was disappointed. I next upgraded the smg, and was impressed.

Armor and health upgrades are pointlessly chained together, and to an easter egg hunt from hell.

Overall, the game is much like the first installment, a beautiful, empty sandbox. Can't decide on tomb raider or sleeping dogs next.

Wish me luck, if my medical results improve I may get to stop being a bubble boy soon.

Good luck 8ully.

Good luck, 8ully.

I have a habit at the moment of installing games but never starting them.  I'm scared of getting too involved.

I don't think that'll ever change as there is so much to do and so little time.

Just wrapped up Dishonored for the second time. I played it stealth and not a single kill.
Estragon: I can't go on like this.
Vladimir: That's what you think.

Sleeping dogs is really fun. I wish the writers were given a tv series, the coversations and mission flow feel organic and fun. I complained about how chore like Just Cause 2 was, the only mission I found frustrating was karaoke, but that had to do with the controls, not the mission.

Playing Resident Evil 0. It's a remastered version of the 2002 Gamecube version. Slightly better controls, resolutions higher than 1080p if you have the hardware for it. Small ass inventory that keeps you running back and forth dropping items and coming back for them later. It's still a fun game after all these years.

Quote
The story of Resident Evil 0 takes players back to 1998. Reports have been mounting about unusual murders on the outskirts of Raccoon City. The city’s Special Forces division, S.T.A.R.S., sends their Bravo Team - including rookie cop member Rebecca Chambers - to investigate. On route, the team’s helicopter suffers engine trouble and is forced to make a crash landing, where they find an overturned prisoner transport vehicle. Splitting up to search the area, Rebecca discovers the Ecliptic Express, a train stopped dead on the tracks. Inside, she meets death row convict and ex-Navy lieutenant Billy Coen. Throughout the game, you will take control of both Rebecca and Billy, at times switching between both characters in order to proceed. Learning the advantages of each character is the key to solving puzzles and surviving the nightmares that lie ahead.

My main profile on the 360 got the piracy glitch in novac in fallout new vegas, which does weird things.

So I made a new profile and started over. Got to the strip and the 360 locked up.

Bummer.

Did it unlock?

I'm playing The Evil Within now. Had to drop down to the Casual difficulty.

I am still on lotro.  I did lose leadership of the kin during this last hiatus t.. I'm sorry, the old guy who was there when you left was the next in line... I forget his name, I'll remember once I log on some more.  I'd ask for it back but he's been paying rent.  What'do you think?
