Current Gameplay: Past and Present.
By trulyalive 1 Comments
I've been playing pretty extensively these past few days, between sorting out my job situation.
I guess I'm savouring my days off before the inevitable hell of working two jobs at the busiest time of the year. Yaaaaay =/

So far, I've yet to have the moment that makes me go "Wow" but the servers aren't online yet. Given that the Americas had to wait a week, I'm relishing this as the chance I have to play the single player campaign and try to suss out level design. So far, all my attempts have been...tragic. Though, in all fairness, I think I've been trying a bit too hard. I should tone things down and start simple before embarking on my Odyssey.
Or I could just pla everyone elses levels whilst seething with envy.
That's good too.
I guess.
Still, I will happily challenge anyone who remarks against Sackboys cuteness to a duel. You've been warned.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend
Now, as a 17 year old (nearly 18 ;_; ) I find myself playing through it and being unable to do anything but sigh. The game is good, but it's not as great as I used to think. The poor gameplay elements that I overlooked back then now cause nothing but seething frustration. Some of the mechanics are downright broken and although the game is fun, it's not as fun as I once thought.
I hate growing up.
Good things are that the achievements are easy as they come and it's filling me with hope that Crystal have spent the past two years working out some of the retarded kinks.
Bad news is that if Underworld hasn't improved, my heart will be broken.
Battlefield: Bad Company
I'll give you guys a moment to let that comment sink in.
Yeah, wierd, huh?
Ok, so the difficulty setting is set way too easy, the atmosphere is conflicted and the inclusion of such obscene amounts of explosions sets the battles firmly in your favour, but what the hell. I don't care. I got more than enough laughs out of it and the story was awesome. I'm looking forward to the proposed sequel and absolutely fell in love with the voice of Preston Marlowe. He's got, like, this perfect little drawl that gets me excited whenever he speaks.
I haven't yet played the Multiplayer, but I've heard it's...OK.
I'll need to check it out myself, but that is the element I'm expecting to let the game out. We'll see.
Anyway, that's about all I'm up to at the moment.
I have 3 days of work, before I get two more days off and then I start my new job.
I swear, as much as working at Game is my ideal job, working two jobs over Christmas sure as hell isn't.
This'll be fun...
B[o]ut.
