This is the opening sequence of Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising as well as part of the first mission as played by me, CandyStoreRock. It will give you an idea of the tactical gameplay and graphical style of the game. If you’re sitting on the fence as to whether to pop into GameStation and purcase OpFlash this Saturday morning, hopefully this will help you decide either way.
I wasn’t sure what to call this. Video game faces? Skate 2 frustration? I obviously opted for the former, but it’s a perfect example of how frustrating Skate 2 can be! Anyway, things I’ve discovered about myself; I’m an annoying gamer, I feel sorry for the people I’ve been playing Left 4 Dead with due to the irritating shrieking, and I can’t figure out if that’s a hiccup or a burp.
Over the past 2 years my passion towards gaming has dwindled, as has been evident by the lack of frequent updates on this blog. I figured it was just part of getting older; my priorities were changing and my interests were evolving. Then Mass Effect 3 came along.
I think Mass Effect 3 has had the effect on me I expected Skyrim to have. To give some perspective; I put 80 odd hours into Skyrim over the course of 3 months and never completed the main quest. I’ve had Mass Effect 3 for less than 4 weeks and have already put close to 40 hours into it.
My life consists of going to the gym, taking photographs, selling insurance and looking after my dog. It may not sound much but it keeps me busy. Very busy. I was beginning to give up hope that games would play on my mind as much as they did back in my gaming heyday, circa 2008. Then Mass Effect 3 came along.
Hmm. Uhh. Yeah. Skyrim. It’s massive. The quests are never-ending. My character has a mohawk. My class is Breton. Don’t follow me on Twitter if you want to hear zilch about this game. 300 alleged hours of gameplay? I’m being quite sensible, though, and still juggling life responsibly. Just.
