listen to the mad man
A Korean guy sold it to me for a little under $30 USD over Paypal. The slightly higher price was worth not having to figure out where to get keys or whatever. Success! Thanks to all who helped.

On a serious note, the matter of games as an enjoyable activity for me has become something that I've recently begun to dwell on. Even just a year ago I'd laugh off the jokes that I buy more games than I intend to play with the internal notion that I'd get around to at least some of them eventually... but over the past six or so months it's become clear to me that I completely lack the desire to continue with something that doesn't wholly appeal to me. Like, I've been a fan of South Park ever since my brother called me into his room one night in the late 90s and showed me Cartman making fun of poor people during the excursion to South America or whatever, but because I watched a mate play through a good portion of what I'd yet to reach myself in Stick of Truth, when I returned home and loaded up own save, my interest had almost eroded entirely -- SoT is great because it feels as though you're playing an elongated episode of South Park, but the actual game component, as it turned out, doesn't appeal to me as strongly as I first thought.

I should probably clarify that my disillusion towards gaming isn't something that bothers me, but having accepted it, it does feel kinda weird that I spend, relative to what I earn, a lot of money on something I don't really feel strongly about. It's all well and good to joke about how it's nice to have something "just in case", but if there's no intention of making use of that product, is there any sense in obtaining it in the first place? Maybe I'm in too deep and have just subconsciously adjusted to go with the flow that I've developed since the closing days of the 2012 Summer Sale? I dunno.

Maybe it's time to take a step back and only buy what you're immediately going to play? It's not too late, I don't think you can ever be in too deep in something like this. You don't have to chase this dragon, JaseC!

people really use guides


I always forget they're there
Click to expand...
I love the community guides, they're brilliant, especially for older games with graphical issues, normally they have in depth .ini editing guides on what to edit and how to get a proper FoV, and stuff like that.

And for newer games they tend to have achievement guides or for certain games a "best min/max build" stuff like that is really useful to me, and I love reading those.

It's one of those features that I really miss when I play games from other digital distribution services(like gog, love that place, but boy do I miss all the little things steam gives to me)

How do you unlock all the arenas for the achievement? Just finish the game?
And yeah, the game is shit.
Click to expand...

I believe the 1st arena unlocks when beating the game or it could be there already, I didn´t try it until I finished it. The others get unlocked once you get to wave 11 in the previous arena.

So, once you get to wave 11 in Arena 1 you unlock Arena 2, do the same in Arena 2 and you unlock arena 3 and so on.

To get the achievement you need to reach wave 11 in all arenas.

I still use gamefaqs if I am using a guide, grew up with it I guess.
Click to expand...

Yeah, if I'm ever forced to use a guide to figure out how to meet the pre-requisites for sidequests, I always use gamfaqs. Or wikis. The Xenoblade wiki, for instance, was a great help for figuring out how to get sidequests.

I force myself to almost never use it for the main game though. I hate using a guide to progress the main plot.

Salsa, please, you have a girlfriend! Unless... it was me all along?

Edit: I should mention that I read all the responses to my earlier post, not just these two, and appreciate the input.

I can't help but wonder what happens if Valve throws open the floodgates, as has often been speculated.

But beyond that, stop trying to 100% Assassin's creed games. I've said it before, but I didn't just hate AC3, it almost made me want to hate every other game ever made.

that said, I cant remember the last time I used a guide. If I can't figure out the achievement for myself then bleh.

I'm going to give this a shot -- my Galaxy S3 has a decent screen size, so it might be easier than the 7" tablet I was considering if it works out well enough.

Thanks.
