Have you played the series outside of 1 before?

No and unfortunately it killed all interest for the series for me until I had a whim to play it this week.

So far I dig the free running and finding chests to loot.

If you had an Xbox and a Gold Live membership you could've gotten it for FREE.

While I get you point, if I were to ever give a fuck about XBox and XBL and Gold Live, it would have been years ago.

I have no idea what the hell to do in Don't Starve. Still enjoyable though.

Finally started Saints Row 3 since I got it fo' free (PS+ ) And I fucking love it. Barely played at all and I'm already impressed with this soundtrack, heard some Tyler the Creator, Miike Snow, and Return of the Mack. Then I start a mission and everyone starts singing Sublime on the ride there, lol. Will have to do some Co-Op with you guys some time. My character is the sexiest/baddest bitch ever.

Well, I finally jumped back into Assassin's Creed II to finish up my 2nd playthrough. Nearly forgot how much I loved this series before AC3. Finished up all the Assassin tombs tonight and unlocked Altaïr's armor. Also raided a couple Templar lairs and took some of their treasure. Then did a bunch of mission in Venice and have nearly finished up DNA Sequence 9. Just three more to go after that. It's fun to re-find out why I love the series so much (again, prior to AC3). The treasure, the tombs, the platforming puzzles, Ezio's story, the setting. They just really lost site of what made these games so much fun. Luckily it's looking like they could be addressing at least some of this stuff for the upcoming AC4.

REALLY been wanting to replay that game lately, but I've been holding out so I can play a few other games first. That game definitely delivers some of the most pure fun in gaming.

Just started it last night with Dizzle. I agree j.hen. Had a blast last night (Although I'm going to restart again today to get into the story more)

At the moment, I've co-op's with Twigg, Bomber and my buddy Vermillion so I'm not against throwing another on the bandwagon with J.Hen, if he'd like.

More XP and Money for me to bring back with my character save.

As for restarting saves and such, the saving through co-op (if you aren't hosting) only counts towards XP, Money amount, what weapons you've gotten to your crib stash that carry over (I have a laser rifle that you should only have in the mid-to-late game unless you cheat), cars and clothes... I think.

Story and Side Mission stuff doesn't carry over if you aren't the host.

If you DO host, your saves count for everything and the game keeps all the data for your individual character.

TL;DR - You keep all your stuff, including story/side mission progress if you host.

You keep all the superficial stuff otherwise that ISN'T Story/Side Mission progress otherwise.

Played some more today. Co-Op seems like it'd be a blast, will definitely have to check it out.

Return of the Mack is my fucking jam.

Ok, so, I cleared up a good chunk of the challenges in the Saints Book from SR3, with a big help from Dizzle. It's so much easier going after the car surfing one when you have a competent person driving the car instead of the AI freaking out and driving like a maniac. He also co-op'd a few of the DLC missions. Trophies were flowing like candy. I'm now done 30/41 of the challenges. I'm hoping to have the game 100% complete (and my platinum) in the next few days.

Because of the immense amount of fun I'm still having with this game, I'm leaning more towards getting SR4 on day one. The only thing holding me back is that Splinter Cell comes out the same day and that game does actually come with a $20 RZ bonus from Best Buy so I'm definitely getting that day one. No way I will have time to play both.

I'm guessing I would be Dick Cheney by default because I cab't beat the Hard missions on my own?
