The Blogtastic Blogfest That Is Getmeoutofthis.net!

When I’m all depressed, sometimes I make silly little purchases. This is my excuse for buying a cheap copy of Lost Planet 2 for 360 off of Gamefly.

Now, you may be thinking, “Wait, you already played through that.” And you’re right. On PS3. Which means my save didn’t carry over. Which is fantastic.

Yeah, that’s mostly sarcastic. I dunno. But I did it to myself, so…

Still, I was in for a surprise when I booted it up at random today. For whatever reason I really felt like playing it, mostly due to the revelation that I could equip different weapons in the campaign. I beat the whole game without knowing your “multiplayer” weapon loadout affected the campaign. When I learned of this, I felt stupid, and wanted to see if it made the campaign feel more varied. I booted the game up and went to play with random online people.
And I found some.
I figured the only people playing the campaign at this point would be people doing high-level runs for loot because, I dunno, they really liked the game. But surprisingly, I found people to play the first couple missions with. Not a full group, of course, but I found random online dudes to play with. It was pretty fun! Mostly because people on the internet are way better at video games than me, so when I ran with them through the game on normal, they easily picked up my slack. Or maybe I just have a better knowledge of how the weird-ass game plays now that I’ve beat it once. Who knows.

Anyway, I have no idea if I’ll play through it all again, but I had some fun for one day, so that’s certainly something. And hey, if the Talking Time people whose conversation got me to pick it up ever get on, then that’s something else to do with my purchase, certainly.
