I finished Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception today after spending a two-day marathon on it. And by marathon I mean I played it for hours until I was too sleepy to continue. From what I can remember, I spent roughly an hour and twenty minutes total behind cover, trying not to get shot.
The first game I played in the series was Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. From my experience with it I knew that frustration will eventually kick in if I played a sequence over and over, like those fights that had five enemies shooting at you and one of them had a rocket launcher. It got worse near the end, when I had to fight the Guardians. They were fast and incredibly durable, requiring almost a full clip from an automatic weapon each to take down. And that was on Normal difficulty.
Knowing that made me think twice about selecting Hard when I started Uncharted 3, but pride took over reason so I went ahead and chose that anyway. Things were great until I got to the ship graveyard level.
The Steam Summer Sale is over. What did you buy this year? It’s actually my first time to participate, being a latecomer to Steam and all. Here’s my list:
- Half-Life 2 (for shame, I know)
- Half-Life 2 Episode 1 (ditto!)
- Half-Life 2 Episode 2 (see above)
- Bioshock
- Hitman: Blood Money
- X3: Terran Conflict
I didn’t buy HL2 back when it was all the rage and ignored it the other times it was on sale because I was distracted by a certain game. Now that that’s over I can spend some time playing other titles. HL2 and Bioshock are installed. I’ll get to them as soon as I’m done with Metal Gear Solid 4. Currently downloading X3. I hope it’s good. I haven’t played a good space sim since Freelancer.
What did you buy?
Gameplay Review: Bulletstorm
Posted on 2011 under Commentary, PC, PS3, Reviews, Xbox 360 | No Comment9 Jul
Let’s cut to the chase. The entire point of Bulletstorm is to “kill with skill”. This involves dispatching your targets in the most creative, often the most gruesome ways possible. Doing so rewards you with skillpoints which you can use to resupply your weapons and unlock charged shots for them. Everything else is secondary to this. The graphics, audio, voice acting and story all act as backdrops to the skill-based shooting.
Gameplay Review: Crysis 2
Posted on 2011 under Commentary, PC, PS3, Reviews, Xbox 360 | No Comment7 Jul
If you played the original, the first thing you’ll notice about Crysis 2 is that you’re more confined. You’re not in the jungle anymore so the wide open space that was there back then is all gone, replaced by the urban landscape of a ravaged New York. There’s a plague spreading in the city and you find out early on that it isn’t man-made. You’re almost killed by its creators in the introduction.
