Sometimes it is good to put a game down for a bit if you find a part too difficult.

Psychonauts' final level was something I had to walk away from for a week. I was this close to tossing my PS2 out the window.

Short uninteresting story: I had trouble with the final boss in Final Fantasy 9. After 4 tries, I was very discouraged and eventually went on to other games or maybe summer started. About a year to the day, I realize I never beat the game, so I load it up. Beat the final boss on my first try and wondered how the hell I fucked up so many times back in the day. I played through the game once more since then and got through no problem.

definitely true.

i'm just looking at all these people complaining and saying that it's terrible and such. these people set the bar way too high. i just don't know what they were looking for.

You might summarize Destiny by the way in which it wraps up its story. Once the final, hackneyed closing scene finishes, fireteam members are awarded the same weapon, regardless of class, and a handful of currency. This reminder of how wholly unspecial you are is the big finale of a lavishly produced but troubled game that excels in the basics but lacks creativity and heart. It is role-playing grind in shooter form--an empty house built on a firm foundation.
Gamespot's review summarizes most of how I feel.

They're releasing two DLCs, no? A zelda themed one and something else, I believe.

Yes. An animal crossing one. The Zelda one available in November, AC in March. They also have three free Mercedes karts available now.

The challenge rooms in Infamous:First Light make it worth the price alone. I've been wanting something like this in an Infamous game since the original.

In Destiny, is post level 20 leveling tied to your armor only? I got my first piece of Light armor, but I'm still level 20. I'm a bit confused.

I am an addict. One of those "just one more try" type games.

I'm enjoying Destiny but I find it difficult to find partners for the story missions. Everyone is at different levels it seems like.

I mean in the sense that it's making me want to buy a PS4 before I originally planned because I want to play it.
