I don't know why, but I love sailing ships in games. I can't get enough of them. In fact, there are very few games that I can think of with such things: Sid Meier's Pirates, Wind Waker, AC3 and 4, Suikoden IV, were ships playable in Risen 1 and 2?... what else? A blog idea is forming in my mind about this.
I so want to play Far Cry 3.
It's a must get for me. I hope it's not too rare when I finally go to pick up a copy.
When I get to it, I'm going to look up a guide and follow it.
I remember playing the demo of AC 1 and thinking the game was all about stealth, and I get frustrated with stealth games. But, I was always thinking that I should try it anyway. I hope to get to it soon to really experience those locations standing on the top of a church steeple or something.
I'll remember that.
I was about to do a second playthrough when I got distracted by other things. I had the feeling I had a lot more to learn about the game. It's going to be fun to go back to it.
Zuko's story was a really good one. Better than many many live action film dramas I've seen. How his Uncle handles it is great too. What a deep, interesting series that Avatar show was!
Mother Russia was awesome!
I played it recently and I was surprised at how similar it was to Bioshock 1 in the basic mechanics - not including the sky-hook stuff of course (which I didn't use for combat at all). I was surprised also by how the world is not all that interactive. In a way it's a blessing because then I didn't have to click on every damn thing to look for stuff.
Kick Ass 1 did a great job contrasting the fictional comic book world with the real one. If you go out to stop crime in a superhero suit, you're going to get F'ed up. Kick Ass 2 didn't do this as well. It seemed confused as to whether to be silly or serious. I couldn't quite get on board with it. Man, did I want to like it though. There are still some good moments. Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Red Mist/Motherfucker) was great throughout.
Saints Row IV is definitely silly and the more I hear about it the more I want to play it. People keep suggesting it's like Crackdown. Music to my ears.
