I started the day with a light primer before diving into the main course. I booted up Crash and to my amazement, my latest save was rolled back and I lost a couple stages' worth of progress. I was so disheartened that after a couple attempts at the current level, I exited with disgust.
That's when I discovered the good news: the Crash and Spyro games are now enabled on the Vita! This means I can play with a far superior D-pad and use sleep mode in lieu of the broken save system to progress. Here's hoping it isn't a PSN store glitch. I would download everything but my memory card isn't big enough and I don't feel like forking over $100 to import a 64gb card.
I played a little bit of Stealth Inc and Thomas Was Alone. Any progress is still progress. After that was Binary Domain. For what appears to be a mindless third-person cover-based shooter, the story is way more interesting than it has any right to be. I'm genuinely engrossed. It helps that the characters and premise are interesting. I wasn't expecting the story to be this good. What a great surprise!
Finally, it was time for Infamous 2. What can I say? I beat it. Twice. I was only several trophies away from the platinum but I didn't care to replay on Hard. Now I can delete this monstrosity from my hard drive. I mean, it's a great game, but it's 15 gigs. That's a lot of space better reserved for newer hotness. I know Second Son follows from the Good ending but it would've been interesting to see a sequel based on the Evil ending.
Because of Crash, I turned on my Vita for the first time in forever. I forgot that Stealth Inc, Thomas Was Alone, and Lone Survivor were available in portable form . It took me a while to figure out the cross-save function. I think I prefer to play these games on the Vita. Lone Survivor in particular looks like crap on my TV. I also transferred my Crash save from the PS3 to the PS4. Thank god I don't have to start all over again.
