Augustus Cole

I'm busy. I have a project deadline on friday. Much work must be completed. I don't even have time to write a half decent blog explaining why I haven't been writing any half decent blogs.

HOWEVER

I was shown this OLD old video on youtube and the first thing I thought was - "This guy should play Augustus Cole in the Gears Of War movie". Yes? Yes. Good.

It was fun playing with you guys. Seriously, all of you are freaking awesome. Forget what I said in my past blog (whoever actually read it, understood it, and took offense to it).

I am playing the campaign now. So far, it's incredibly chaotic and epic. I am just lacking the satisfying feeling that I got from GeoW1, and I know why: Normal difficulty. I should really go back to hardcore. Normal makes the game look like an arcade-ish shooter without the score board. Enemies are dying from left to right without me taking a shot, and it feels derivative.

And that's what makes me think: The reason why most single player campaigns for games these days aren't as good as it's multiplayer counter parts is because of it's Normal difficulty mode. Hell, even Heroic on Halo3 was freaking easy! Really, games and their default difficulty modes need to be harder. I am now thinking that GeoW1 went on the right path with its difficulty selection; it was challenging, but fucking rewarding.

I'ma gonna play (and hopefully beat) the campaign. I hope to play Horde mode with your guys later. C'ya! :D

Oh man... after checking out what Riddler posted here, I had to see more.

Man that stuff is awesome.
