Event Log: 4/14/14 - Lunar Eclipse of My Heart

Thanks to the Campaign save glitch in BF4 (which still hasn't been patched to my knowledge), I'm sick of that damn song.

Tonight is special since the moon turns red and planet earth blocks light from the sun. It only managed to capture my interest for ten seconds before I got bored and got back to business--which was going through my backlog. Neat effect though.

I beat Devil May Cry. The original was way harder but I can appreciate a gentle roller coaster ride. The game is in desperate need of 60fps though. There was stuttering and random hitches everywhere unlike traditional framerate drops. It's like the engine couldn't properly handle transitions between cutscenes and gameplay. If I had a decent PC... It's times like these I curse myself.

Next up was Saint's Row 2. Open world games I usually don't want challenge because the gameplay design is not well-suited for tight mechanics. It's always a slapdash of everything and I'm glad my old self thought the same since my current save file was on Casual. In the rare moments I die, it's extremely frustrating. I just wanna relax, man. I think the third one is better. This one might be more consistent in tone but it's just not refined. The city design is better, I'll grant.

It was five in the morning when someone wanted to crash my game. We did a mission together and I had to go to sleep. Thanks to him, my file has cheats enabled.

Ever since I beat Bioshock Infinite, "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" has been stuck in my head. I find myself humming it everywhere.
