Glad to see you...

If the gaming industry is an automobile, and the game designers are the drivers, then that makes us, the players, backseat drivers, and we'll be damned if we're gonna let the industry keep on heading the way it's going (good or bad) without letting them know what we think. So buckle up, feel free to complain about there being no air in the back, and bring your most critical and analytical mind to the open air discussion of the current age, Backseat Gamers!

Trials of St. Lucia and 60K

Last night I finally purchased the "Trials of St. Lucia" DLC for Dante's Inferno. For those that aren't aware it's basically just a challenge pack. The neat thing about it is that it also allows individual players to create their own challenges and post them for everyone to play. Super cool idea and from the short amount of time I spent with it yesterday it works really well. LOTS to add and very easy to create large scale battles that will really test your skills.

You can vote on user challenges and upload your own to be voted on. There's also a new coop mode that allows you to play as the St. Lucia the Patron Saint of the Blind (I guess the real St. Lucia had her eyes plucked out because she wouldn't marry her betrothed). I haven't had a chance to try the coop yet, but when I played as Lucia she's a very fast character so mixing up styles with another good brawler will be oodles of fun.

Funny enough the ONLY problem I've found in the DLC is all the fault of the players. Since, like most DLC, there's new achievements the overwhelmingly large amount of user created maps were all made to get easy medals for achievements. The other maps that were more serious were 1st or 2nd time attempts at making something compelling and weren't too good. I blame ourselves as gamers for this problem and I truly look forward to the garbage maps being weeded out and seeing what the community can create. I wonder if the developers saw this coming because at least they added 50 new challenges that they made that are actually difficult.

Also, I broke 60,000 achievement points last night and have a larger penis because of it.
