At the time I thought I might have gone in the wrong direction (at the path that branches off in a few directions) and stuffed it up that way, but having investigated it a little further that doesn't seem to affect it at all so I really don't know what happened. What can you do, though?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626684107210848128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301259633959681657.post-18352820103283140522011-02-01T12:36:09.003-05:002011-02-01T12:36:09.003-05:00@Steven O'Dell - So I was watching my boyfrien...@Steven O'Dell - So I was watching my boyfriend play RDR and he just got to the part where you cross the river into Mexico. Apparently, it is possible to miss that moment I was talking about with the song Far Away. As you land, there are horses waiting for you. As he mounted his horse I could hear the song start playing. I was so excited! Then, he saw the guys he killed and decided to get off his horse to loot them. The song stopped. Looks like the game was programed that way. I'm going to make him do that mission again so he can hear the song! =PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875585004489805891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301259633959681657.post-59544309608848285632011-01-27T10:37:44.621-05:002011-01-27T10:37:44.621-05:00That ending is mindblowing.That ending is mindblowing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626684107210848128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301259633959681657.post-66988190858248396092011-01-26T17:00:22.103-05:002011-01-26T17:00:22.103-05:00@Steven O'Dell - I actually just finished Mine...@Steven O'Dell - I actually just finished Minerva's Den a few days ago, and it was incredible!

I can comment on the other two though, so here goes.<br /><br />"<i>Having a new perspective on things really helps you to understand peoples' actions.</i>"<br /><br />While you used the above sentence to describe the Little Sister moment -- which, by the way, impacted upon me in a similar manner -- I think it highlights why <i>BioShock 2</i> itself was special, too. I always hesitate (I shouldn't, I know) to comment on anything in depth with regards to the franchise because of my obvious bias, but the beauty in the return to Rapture wasn't necessarily that you got to return in the first place (though that was also special for me for obvious reasons) but that it offered a new perspective in which to view the characters and, of course, the city itself. Instead of focusing on the big-wigs and luminaries of Rapture, <i>BioShock 2</i> focused on the 'normal' citizens and the underclass, framing Rapture from their perspective and consequently framing our own interpretation of the city differently to our discoveries in the first game. <br /><br /><i>Minerva's Den</i> only continues this approach and demonstrates, to me at least, just how much potential Rapture still has and the stories it is yet to tell, as well as how remarkable and wonderful the city remains despite claims to the contrary. <br /><br />As for <i>RDR</i>, I never actually got that moment unfortunately. My first moments in Mexico were as quiet as life out in the wilderness was in New Austin before that; no special music and poignant moment for me, just the random events and expected gunshots in the distance as per usual. Not sure what causes the moment to happen for some and not others but, as someone who missed out but keeps on hearing about it anyway, I can't help but feel disappointed. <br /><br />But then, my time with <i>RDR</i> has always felt like a fight even though I've always tried -- and wanted -- to enjoy it. I have, too, but it's been harder than it should have been and I'll explain why on my own blog soon enough.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626684107210848128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301259633959681657.post-35257105728238332322011-01-19T22:04:41.442-05:002011-01-19T22:04:41.442-05:00@Gaming in Public - Thanks! 2011 looks to be a gre...@Gaming in Public - Thanks! 2011 looks to be a great year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875585004489805891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301259633959681657.post-73995082619067805602011-01-19T18:01:46.936-05:002011-01-19T18:01:46.936-05:00I have to agree that entering into Mexico is a mag...I have to agree that entering into Mexico is a magical experience in Red Dead Redemption. The great outdoors never felt so great until you cross that river. <br /><br />For me I am going for a more simple experience with Donkey Kong Country Returns and Super Meat Boy. This might seem crazy but I think the most exciting moment is the sheer fact of getting to the end of each level. Getting ready to shake the wii mote as you hit the barrel at end makes me feel like a kid again! Finally getting to Bandage Girl at the end and seeing her smile before she is taken away is just so magical. I just think games don't reward you anymore unless you beat the whole game. Super Meat Boy and Donkey Kong Country Returns brings me back to my glory days where games told you were good for even beating one level.<br /><br />Heres to your 2010 best moments and a toast as well to 2011!Jacob Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330616929971450515noreply@blogger.com
