Whew haven't updated in a while since I just got done moving...
Slogged my way through Killzone 2 - definitely grew on me as time went on. The controls were a bit of a problem at first but eventually I had them tweaked to near-COD4 standards. Now a game with bad controls is that F.E.A.R. 2 demo *shudder*
Didn't get stuck too often (except that last room/sequence - what a beast!) & I was playing on normal. The checkpoints were more spread out than I was thinking they should have been at the time. But that reminded me how much of wussies games today are making us
How hardcore those NES kids must have been in the last 80s - I mean of course I played NES as a kid but by the time I like remember anything of my childhood its already 1990 or maaaybe some of 89? So the NES was already on the way out, + my Nickelodeon & MTV induced ADD made sure I rarely stuck with a game that frustrated me, though I remember fondly playing the early levels of many games over and over. I'd like to think I don't suck at games as much as I did before my parents got me my first fixes, but a quick login to any online game will quickly remind me the suckage is alive and well ^^
Speaking of games being easy nowadays, after sending back Killzone 2 I managed to get Prince of Persia! The environments are quite beautiful, though the strange stylization of the character models, while somewhat cool, sticks out as a bit of a sore thumb IMHO. The controls are smooth and flowing for the most part, and the combat while annoying at times is holding up so far once you figure out the situation and perhaps glance at the surprisingly deep combo list. More on that later.
