Ooof, man, that's rough! Watcha do, throw away one of the artifacts? Use the book? :/ Honestly, I've never been too bothered about 100% on a game. I look for narrative and enjoyment, personally, and I always find the overall payoff is never worth the detracted enjoyment you find in grafting to get that last 0.1%. I didn't kill the guy for the Skull of Corruption staff. Thing is, it actually doesn't measure it by possession of the item, or the number of items as I obtained but the Ring of Hircine and Savior's Hide from the Ill Met by Moonlight quest but they don't count individually, but by the correct completion of the quest. I don't normally go for 100% either, but I already have 62 of 75, and the ones remaining are all either main quest related, or easily obtainable. My plan was to play until I got all the achievement and then call it done, since there will always be an inconceivable amount of side quests left, and I have already spent about 160 hours in the game. Now I'll end up with 74/75, and it is going to bug me

And on a completely unrelated note, I've been playing Assassin's Creed II for the first time.
I love this game!! Never thought I would.... I did play the first one and saw why it was such a hit. But the second one is so much better and improved.
And to change the topic even further, I have a question. How do you feel about Fall of Cybertron now?
I've been reading a few reviews and I see some points as to why some people may not like it anymore. But here's the thing. When I played it a few times I wanted more action out of the campaign mode. WFC had a lot of that where FoC had a lot more story. And that's where the problem seems to be. Lots of ppl played WFC for a much longer time and when FoC came about it seems that the game had a lot more of the same, with some improvements and more story. Of course there was the multi-player thing as well, and of course I can get my action time in battling fools online. But I'm a campaign guy and I like my games to go on and on.

Fall of Cybertron? Think it's the best Transformers game to be made. War for Cybertron was great for a time, but the campaign was shallow and lacked variety. I loved FoC's campaign.
As for Assassin's Creed II, yeah, it is a great game. Platforming can still be frustrating though. Brotherhood improves on it more, and Revelations is the epitome of the series. Assassin's Creed III falls flat, and I've still yet to beat it.

Being the best game out of a bunch of poor games is one thing , being the best when surrounded by the best is another matter. FoC is a good game but the pacing between action and story isn't good in my opinion. The action is gone too quick. More I say!!

I still haven't completed FoC. I bought it directly of the Playstation network, and it either crashes as it loads the save (I've restarted the level multiple times now and overwritten it) or it starts the saved game then crashes 5 seconds in.

I thought the pacing was good, and can't remember a part I thought was slow that wasn't meant to be slower, like Cliffjumper's sections. It was still a lot of fighting, and often against seemingly insurmountable odds. I liked that it was quite diverse, with different characters sections feeling different from one another, as well as the variety of enemies found in those sections. In War for Cybertron, I was pretty tired of facing the same 5 guys over and over again, and with very little narrative to even keep me interested in the fighting.

Well I'm not talking about Cliffjumper's part, the diversity, different characters, different levels. I'm talking about the amount of action in the campaign and that I feel there should be more. While the pacing might work within the story, coming back to the game is hard cause I get bored. You got throught something, fight a little and then story. I know the story, I want to smash robots! And actually some of he diversity was taken away since before you chose one character out of three on a level, now you can't.

Variety in FoC is more than just a different character model. Playing Optimus was different from Cliffjumper, was different from Jazz, was different from the next character. Not to mention, every level has at least one unique enemy type to it.

I know, but I want to be the guy! I could be Jazz or Sunstreaker for the entire game or parts of the game. Granted if you chose Bumble Bee for the last stage against Megatron you might be in trouble And that was a major point against the TF game for PS2, lack of characters to use.

Bought Final Fantasy VII on Steam, haven't played it since I owned it originally on the Playstation. Hope I remember what to do with the materia and stuff!

Probably would have bought that had I had the money, as it is another game that people talk about all the time. Been picking up games like that, just to say yeah, I played that.
My friend picked me and him up a copy of Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition, and so we played that for like 6 hours yesterday. Another game I wanted to pick up for the sole reason that every list of best RPGs has it in the list, or someone talks about it in the comments.
