Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 (PS3) and Thief (PS4)
Both are good, but have their flaws. Glad I picked them up though!
Yeah. Quite hooked on it to be quite honest. I'm really not getting all the hate right now, although I guess I'll be able to judge it better after I've beaten it. So things could still change. But I already have 8 hours of playtime logged in the bloody thing and I just started Chapter 3, which is kinda crazy.I spent at least half of that time in the hub world exploring and breaking into random homes.
I've seen people criticize it for being too small and limited but in all honesty the city hub is fairly complex and quite enjoyable to navigate, it has far more rooftop space than Deadly Shadows (which had little to none). The use of rope arrows at only specific places is pretty retarded, though (in the original Thief you could shoot it onto any wooden surface), but not something I can't overlook.
I see people saying Dishonored is miles better but I could never really get into that game and its setting. I can kinda make a guess as to why that is. In Dishonored you had an insane amount of freedom since you had a short range teleport skill that allowed you to go to all sorts of places, while in Thief you have to look for climbable surfaces. I'm guessing that's what pisses people off, but I couldn't care less, personally, I got used to it pretty fast, and it doesn't feel as restrictive as some people make it out to be. I hated Dishonored's industrial-ish setting and really felt indifferent to many of its levels. This game is far darker and has much more of the classic Thief (or at least Deadly Shadows)feel than Dishonored.
I think my final opinion will depend on how awesome the rest of the story missions are.

Thanks to God of Battle for recommending me this game!![]()
Did I ever mention I'm playing Thief? Well I am. I've just finished chapter 4 and I'm really enjoying it a lot! I'm taking my time and trying not to get caught/take anyone out. But when it needs to be done, it needs to be done. This is the sort of game I'd want to go back through and loot everything and try and do a run without taking anyone out!
Really enjoying it though, and I'm really looking right past its flaws.![]()
Golden Sun Dark Dawn-I'm at the Apollo Sanctum Gate
Bioshock Infinite, the game seems easier than previous Bioshock games and the vigors don't seem essential, I'm coasting along along by just using the weapons most of the time.
How far are you Tass? I kinda feel the same way as you about the vigors.... I never really used them until much much later in the game, and about the only one I seem to remember using the most was the flock of ravens. It worked in almost any situation. There were several areas to use vigors for environmental purposes, like oil and whatnot, but I don't recall ever even utilizing those.
I never tried the 1999 mode, I've heard it's much more difficult. If I ever try the game again I'll be sure to do that mode.
Half Life 2. Another backlog one added to the dozen or so games I have going on at once![]()
