the goddamn Worm is kicking my ass and for the life of me I can't beat the fucker.
I have to shoot 12 of those fucking things? I'm lucky if I get two after like 20 minutes of playing.
theres not enough energy or ammo to beat that stupid thing and he jerks around way too fast to be able to use any of the VS weapons like the rocket launcher.
I also can't tell if I should even bother shooting up the hives of those annoying ass flying things before I take on the worm. probably just a waste of time and ammo.

guess I just suck at this game :(

oh hush.

its a nice distraction. I honestly don't see myself playing the offline or online game in a month from now (the online part just feels too... cheap or something. I'll be in a VS and fire 20 rockets at a guy on the ground without killing him then someone with a machine will shoot me in the back twice and I'll die... grumble grumble) but its not a terrible game.

It plays a little mushy... I mean I know the guy is running through 2 feet of snow but I don't give a crap. its almost as much a tax on your patience as piloting a mech in Chromehounds as you slowly watch something in the distance grow closer and closer as you run towards it.

and the zoom sucks.. can you make it so you just click the stick in to zoom? its so painfully obvious that this is a Jap attempt at a shooter. they really don't have a grasp on making decent controls for action games (me thinks of Gun Valkyrie and parts of Otogi).

but I guess the only thing going for it are the atmosphere and the occasion fun times you run into with all the people online at once and the VS's and how fun one or two of them are to pilot.

so yeah- the best part about this game are the mechs.

well it took most of these assholes what, two months to get Gears? so give it some time.

also- I gave up on the worm. despite tweaking the controls I just couldn't beat it. most of the time I couldn't run around the side of it fast enough to flank it.
and nothing could piss me off more than taking out like 6 of those yellow pods and then getting eaten by it. that happened probably three times and I gave up.
I think at this point the only thing compelling me to play are two things:

1.) achievements

2.) playing something on Live besides Gears

In other news if you can believe it I think for the time being I've given up on Chromehounds. I actually got tired of its slow pace. I'm over it. I used to like that about it before but now I'm just done.
