Alright, so I've ditched FFXIII in favour of some Batman: Arkham Asylum. And this morning I had one of the most suspenseful encounters I think I've ever had in a video game.
Basically, there was a timed mission where I had to break into a room before a bomb went off. Only there wasn't a regular counter, it was just the Joker over the PA putting the pressure on with vague timey-wimey indications. So I figure out what it is I have to do and frantically go about trying to get in, when Joker hits 10...9...8...CRAAAAAP! Scurry scurry scurry, hurry hurry hurry, there it is, just have to cut this rope...3...shitshitshit, wrong frikkin weapon, change to Batarang...2...wrestle with the control stick to aim, fire...1...CRASH! *tinkletinkletinkle* OH THANK GOD as I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding. Then..."BOOM!...HAAHAAHAAHEEHEHEEHEHE, only joking! :D"...FRIKKIN HELL JOKER YOU ASSWIPE! YOU MADE ME HURRY WHEN THERE WASN'T ANY REAL DANGER? D:
Ok, so I suck at story telling, but it was pretty damn cool at the time.
THEN! Later on, since the game had already made it clear it wasn't in the business of killing hostages, I dawdled along during another hostage situation. AND THEY KILLED THE HOSTAGE! WAY TO MESS WITH THE RULES GAME!
So yes, I <3 Batman: Arkham Asylum. Having a much better time than if I was still wrestling with FFXIII.
