AAA my A**

I have all these amazing 3D games here. Games I have been drooling over for a loooooong time.
Breathtaking games. And there tons of games I have not that I would have killed...ehm...payed for not long ago.

What happend ? Besides my amazingly wiered fun to play outdated computer games ?

I found a game which immerses me right now more than anything else.

Terraria

Somebody thought : Let us combine elements of Super Mario on SNES, Ultima Online Crafting and Minecraft into 2D.

And it works. It's an indie an it has many negative sides. But actually it keeps me going, exploring, mining and researching.

So, I will make a break from taking older games apart in row right now, and I report back when my retro mission is finished.

Below here I post all my findings about Terraria.

Cutscenes with George Takei and Tim Curry ? Time for C&C Red Alert 3 !

I was hired by EA for a computer game !
Yeah. Everyone has played this game,maybe. Everyone but me.

I just have a vague memory of playing some C&C. And I remember I stoped when there appeared missions where you have to control single human units in a story driven environment, more specific in a bunker.

Good. Long its gone. I am positively thrilled by the change in cutscene quality, lol. So time for same base building and overdriven colors everywhere.





After going through the tutorials, I fear there is all done I want from this game. It's like a Pokemon for C&C fans, really neat to look upon, very imaginative extras for the units, and even humor that's okai. Well I am not sure I want more. Hmm.

I'm happy that you can use full HD. And I must say, it looks really great.
Well, I have still the visuals from C&C 1 and 2 before my eyes, that is.

And really, the real actor video gives the whole thing such a surrealistic (tex murphy-wing commander) atmosphere, it's dazzling.

Actually, I am interested in the story of the campaign. And this whole "Einstein never invented the Atom Bomb" thus we end up with three different forces with neat weapons and a good CD.

PayDay 1 - The heist - aka Lets get into THAT vault- Oh, Is that sexist ???

CURRENT RATING 
FRUSTRATING




Since I am all up for CoOp at this time (even with ppl after 1995) I got myself PayDay 1 - The Heist for 1,49 on Steam.

I always try to start a series with its first appearance, so hmm. And I made a good xp, the PhysX installer recognized that there was a newer version of it installed ! *fireworks*

The start music was decent. Less decent was that the first thing the program showed me was a BIG ADVERTISMENT for a DLC, even in the main menu.

Well, what the hell. Lets go looking for some criminals online to rob a bank. Or two.

Battle Field 4 Campaign - Champagne for the Style, But Linear is Algebra thats gone bad

Wow. Everything so big, still fu*king stupid linear, but wow SO BIG.

And wow. That destruction. WOW. WTF. WOW. BOOM. BANG. CUT LEG. BOOM.

But still, I really have to tune into that Why Bad Company 2 was so great article here. (even besides the fact that it was -linear-)


I made it into 15 minutes of the BF4 campaign. Then I turned it off.
And made a break. And still wonder what I play next. To burn it here.

Somebody whispered to me I really should try Titanfall for 48h for free on Origin.
It would be very good, really nice teamwork, really dynamic missions.
The idea of EA to start with the 48h when you install it, is by the way, EPIC PR GOLD.

3 x Far Cry. Far. Far. Far. Cry. Summer Sale, you make my cry. Let's try the Cry of Ubisoft, maybe its Ubihard or Ubiswollen ?

CURRENT RATING (6h)
TRASHY
FRUSTRATING
FRUSTRATING


UPDATE: I played the whole single player campaign.
Actually a lot of fun, but the moral of it is strange.

 Original text

First off all, I am noticing that I am no longer so much into Single Player campaigns. I think after enjoying them too much in other games, I'm just burned out when it comes to SP Campaigns.

I love playing Co-Op campaigns/missions. I noticed that in BF3.

And perhaps the minor fact that I played only CoOp since OFP thus since 2002 in good clans. But I always enjoyed a good SPC in a FPS.

So I was quite happy to see that FC3 had a CoOp Mode. Trying it before playing the SPC, I hoped to spare me the time of stupid AI and foreseeable story lines. Sadly UPLAY and FC3 seem to be buggy.

TWOT - Female half-vampire, Nazis, Monsters, Big Boobies (Term inspired to use by PeePeeDie) but with Brain and Fangs - My Sunday is SAVE TO WASTE !

CURRENT RATING
TRASHY
TRASHY
FUNNY
FRUSTRATING


Since I am, as it seems, trying out new genres (last time I played a Wild West Game and actually enjoyed most of it) so suddenly I had the urge to learn something about a game from 2002.

Its called BloodRayne. Well I am conditioned to (and I DO) hate Nazis.

By the way :  We do a slight exception from our "NO ZOMBIE BLOG" rule. Primarly cause Zombies arent really the focus here and only important in a part of the game. (And the zombies ? are shooting with guns so technically they are no zombies right) 

So. Yes, and I love strong female characters (mostly, not the kyle's mother type though).



And since everybody is shouting about Ubisoft removing female assassins, I though, hey ten years ago there actually was (next to Lara Croft of course,who is as we all know just a female Indiana Jones) a female *DARK* hero.

Wild Wild West - Or how one thing lead to another and now I am trying WWW Shooters ?!

CURRENT RATING
FUNNY



Steam Sale. Nevertheless the steam sale game is a pure brilliant *cliche on* women money on shoes *cliche off*.
unimaginative rip off, I enjoy spending little money on games like

And since the twitch stream of humble bundle yesterday involved a WWW game, I thought ey, I never actually played a WWW FPS !!

And the advantage of a FPS, it can be played with Keyboard/Mouse.

So I bought Call of Juarez Gunslinger.

Despite the name and the fact that I know NOTHING about this game OR the developers, I was curious. Good ol'Ubisoft as publisher and an Engine I never heard of plus a wild wild west setting. OK. Well, first thing was the game needed only 3.8 gb. 3.8gb for a full flechted FPS ? OK ?!?!

Well I write this here being untouched about this game, so lets go. *reloads his colt*
