I just beat
The Last Remnant. It had been the game in my 360 since late March (I checked the achievements to be sure). Most of the delay had been due to the very time consuming nature of the gameplay and the fact that I was trying to get the "good ending" which requires completing every quest. I found out a few hours ago that I had missed one unclued quest approximately 20 game hours before my current location and so the final quest was closed to me.
I can't say that I liked the game. On the other hand, I can't say that there is nothing here to like. In a sense, the game managed to keep an odd balance of animosity that kept me from just giving up and shelving it. I think this was due mainly to the fact that, when I did lose, it seemed like a slight shift in the enemy's actions or a few luckier action choices could have changed everything.
I think a lot that is wrong about the game could have been fixed if only they had ditched all of the "one shot" "lost forever" bits.
Regardless, I beat it. I'm going to go get one more achievement and then it goes in the case. I'm actually not sure what 360 game is next in the queue, it has been so long since it last advanced...
