Now I know that in the past Ive said that I hate playing FPS in online competitive matches. This is due to the fact that I tend to just really suck. I don’t have enough experience playing against other players, and that leads to me generally getting killed more than I kill others. Now I received Bioshock 2 when it came out, but I had not checked out the multiplayer mode since I hate playing online. But I was bored last night, so I decided to give it a whirl. I was not disappointed.
Between last night and today, I have logged in close to two hours online. I have definitely been doing well, and often come in within the top three places in the team-based deathmatches. Since I do fairly well, I enjoy playing it. There are a few traits to the online mode which I think are what attract me to it.

I sent Dragon Age Origins back to Gamefly today. I probably put about ten to twelve hours into it, and barely scratched the surface. Yet, from what I played, I know its a game that I HAVE to own. I was gunning to get Borderlands, but Dragon Age really blew me away, and I just have to have it as my next game. If I hadnt just bought MUA2, Uncharted 2, and WWE 2010 I would have been more inclined to keep it, but Ive been spending too much on games as it is. Regardless, it is safe to say that Dragon Age is the best RPG on the PS3 that I have played, and that says a lot based on how much I loved Sacred 2.
When you start a game, you create a new character by choosing the race, sex, and class. Then, you will select one of six “background stories” which introduce your character and the game. Which story you can choose depends on what kind of character you created. From there, you are thrust right into the game.

So it is done. What I thought I would never do I did. I completed the story for the silver difficulty on Sacred 2.
It was a blast. The last boss battle was ridiculous.
But I am nowhere near through yet.There are still oh so many trophies to be had. Plus Im going to take my character through the gold difficulty now for ever more XP goodness.

Well, my new Shadow Warrior has finally surpassed the older one, in terms of leveling and exploring. I had originally restarted with a new SW because my old one was broken, since I was still learning to play the game. He was level 44. Today my new SW not only reached level 44, but also made his way out of the swamp area into the desert (my original SW was still plodding along in the swamp).
I would love to eventually beat this game, but I have so much fun exploring, grinding, and side questing. Who knows when I will…not very soon at the rate Im going…

Back in March I hit 20, and as of today Im 26. I played for a few hours this afternoon, and actually leveled twice. I just unlocked the final weapon upgrade for the medic, and in four more levels I’ll be able to get his last armor/gear. My latest weapon is the most powerful, so I’ll be able to do more damage with my Phoenix gun, and be able to launch health further to my allies.
The medic is so awesome because he gets mad experience without having to kill anything. A successful medic hangs in the back, attacking only when every else in the squad has low health. Once someone takes even one hit, you can heal them and get experience. You have these stupid medics who run to the front line and try to get kills with the Phoenix gun, and these are the jokers who get like 4000 xp for the match and end up in last place. I played about six matches today, and was in first place for most of them (ahead of the soldiers and spec ops players too). Its all about playing it smart from the back lines, and making healing a priority over killing. I know it sounds odd for a FPS, but its the best way to get your medic experience so that he can reach the level cap.
