• Finished Deus Ex and other news (Wet, Battlefield 3)

    Took a while (had several periods of non-playing) but I got to the end recently. Very solid game. It’s far from the engrossing experience and freedom of The Fallouts, but still really nice. Shooting, sneaking, RPGing (getting new augmentations and new weapons and weapon-upgrades), unfolding the story (good story by game standards), experiencing some pretty darn cool environments, good music. Lots of cyberpunk lore.

    And that’s the end of that chapter, unless I decide to go back and play it as a hardcore sneaker. I did a fair amount of sneaking, but also a lot of shooting and it is possible to sneak far more (and shoot less). I didn’t even get some of the sneak augmentations (like seeing the cone of vision of enemies).

    The augmentations are really cool and many are very useful (like seeing enemies through walls, or being invisible for a short period time), more useful than you think when you first get them.

    Anyway, if I do play it again it’ll take a while because now I want to focus on other games. Right now I’m playing Wet, an action game. I like it, but it won’t last much longer. When I’m done I’m probably going for a big game, possibly Dragon Age 1 complete (all DLCs).

    Interspersed with the above games I’ve played Battlefield 3. Not going great but it’s fun. Current K/D ratio is slightly above 0.5, so I’m excelling mostly at dying. But my W/L ratio is 1.32. Doing a lot of spotting to help my team.

  • Another update

    Yeah I continued Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but haven’t finished, and now I’m off again, for a while. But it is pretty kick-ass though. The game play is kind of like Batman: Arkham Asylum, sneaking, fighting, developing the character and getting better gadgets/weapons, stopping bigger-than-life evil, some exploring and boss fights etc.

    I like both, they’re very solid, but I like Deus Ex more, partly because I love the cyberpunk theme.

    Also played some Battlefield 3, but only a couple of hours so far. Fun fun fun, except that I suck.
