Saber shows her love for Mother Russia.
Saber has spent all morning and most of the afternoon grinding away at Modern Warfare 2. So far we’re really enjoying it but can’t help feeling its a little easier than the first game. I’ve definitely died a whole bunch but never been as stuck and frustrated as I got in COD 4.
Back at home with Saber and our game. Saber got all excited and up her hair. We’ll have to fix it tomorrow though because its time for bed. Saber is not too happy that she can’t play right away. And no Saber, you can’t sleep with it.
Back in line again after playing a level of MW2 on the PS3. Enjoyed but wish I could have tried the 360 version. Bullshitting with Trench and random dude. Saber’s waiting in the car. She didn’t like the smell of smoke in line.
7:30 Five hours until MW2 release. Chilling with TRENCH and DREAMDEMON.
6:10 Saber and I arrive at Gamestop to await the midnight release of Modern Warfare 2. Got our stamp and now waiting for Trench to arrive. Despite knowing the manager and multiple assistant managers, we still can’t get the game early. Damn.
Been playing Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 for the last couple days. Short answer is that I really am enjoying this game though it does have its problems. If you have played the first game then you already know what you are getting and you will enjoy this game. There are a ton of mobile suits to choose from and a ton of missions to try them out in. The inclusion of mobile armors is a fantastic new addition to the series and provide a layer of difficulty not found in the previous game. If you are a gundam fan then you will find all the different suits
Strike Freedom so far my favorite gundam
All of this being said, the problems I have with this game are the same as I had with the first game. There are a ton of mobile suits and a ton of characters to play but in the end they all play the same. Playing through all the scenarios with all the different characters becomes tedious real fast. I usually end up finding one gundam that I think is cool and use is throughout the game. You are more limited in doing this than in the first game becaue of the inclusion of a license system that forces a character to meet certain requirements before they can pilot a specific mobile suit. The other problem I am having with the game is the difficulty of defeating the mobile armors. Even on the easy difficulty they can be very difficult to defeat initially. As I have played more I have figured out how to defeat them easier but some like the Dark Gundam still really piss me off whenever I run into it.

Overall the game is good but only a buy for gundam fans or fans of the dynasty warriors series. I should note that I haven’t tried to online aspects of the game as of this post. May post again when I have.
