Photos From the Wasteland 1: Fallout 4 Reviewish Ongoing Series

So, as you know, I got a new laptop, and a rather nice boy I know got me a present before it even shipped. Fallout 4.

The fallout games have always been dear to me, because they combine elements of things I love, with things that I like but am terrible at, so they help me learn. I’m terrible at FPS. Truly terrible. When something jumps me, I freak out, flail, and die. It’s embarrassing. Fallout has an FPS element, but it’s not all shooting, and if there’s a foe I just cant deal with, there’s VATS to help out. I’ve become something of a skilled sharpshooter though, which is nice.

 


The Witcher: Reviewish

I’ve started playing the enhanced edition of The Witcher.  Honestly, I’m not sure it’s going to be my thing.

There are WAY too many cut-scenes; the start of the game was like half an hour!  They are too frequent and too long.  If I want to watch a movie, I’d watch a movie.  I’m playing a game, because I want to actually play.


Torchlight II: Reviewish

Torchlight II game is really REALLY fun. I initially thought that it was going to be like Diablo, which, though fun, was a little disappointing. I felt Diablo was short. And too easy. I was a noob, and I creamed it on the hardest setting.

I’ve been traipsing around Torchlight II for two weeks now, and I’m nowhere near finished, as far as I can tell. Also, I HAVE A BADGER FOR A PET. A BADGER. I, of course, have named it Honey.


Bastion: Reviewish

Bastion Game Art

My goodness! It’s a really cute little game! I like how the narrator speaks, depending on what you do, or at least it seems that way. Maybe the speech could just be map position triggered? Either way, its a nice touch. The artwork is lovely, and has the charm of old spritey-ness, without the tedious 4-different-views only of old sprites.

It’s a really cute little game, on the surface it is at least. Its hard! I died so many times in the first hour while trying to figure out controls, and figure out exactly wtf was going on. the little blue-black, inverted water droplets are adorable! I didn’t realise immediately that they were baddies. Nor did I realise that the shard things were good for you. Still not 100% sure what they ultimately do. The “Kid falls to his death…just kidding” stuff is made of lolz.


This War of Mine: Reviewish

Hey,

I played This War of Mine for a while. It wasn’t too bad. I found good points and bad points. how events transpired.

Let’s start with the bad. I found it got a bit repetitive. Dig, gather, try to eat, try not to die. Repeat. Likely die anyway. I didn’t like that if you tried to be a decent person, you ended up starving or getting shot. I don’t want to kill people or steal from people. If I wanted to do stuff like that, I’d jump on the GTA5 train. No thanks.


Diablo III: Reviewish

So, I think we can all agree that I’m no pro at the Vidja Games.

I just finished Diablo III for the first time. EASY. Holy easy. The hardest part was when I stopped playing for two months, only to come back and have no idea what was going on, so I ran around a desert forest for 6 hours because I didn’t know where I was supposed to be.
