<snip> LaPtiteBete: Good afternoon, Ghost !!
Glad to read you're doing well :)
Wow, you played a lot of games !! any opinion about Metro Last Light and Saints Row 3 ?
**Big ghostly hug** <big squishy happy to see you hug>
I'm really trying to get through some of the backlog, and knocking out those games I know I can play through relatively quickly, but it's hard with new releases popping up. I have quite a few "in-play", (installed, started and re-started a few times, waiting for me to get to). heh!
Metro Last Light was interesting, more of a survival shooter adventure, with a touch of (non-scary) horror. The combat action is good, weapons are varied and functional.
You can play it stealthily or go guns blazing. Once the game is finished, it opens up some separate scenarios to play in the world, which I didn't play through but will eventually get to, since I saved the save game files. And... it wasn't overly sexualized like some complaints I've read.
The Story picks up after 2033, and this game makes me want to play that one, though I don't think it necessary to play 2033 first. The story itself is simple, yet reflects the harsh post apocalyptic world the people live in, and I suspect it might have different endings depending on a couple choices we make, so I'll probably play through it again at another time.
You need air filters to survive in outside areas that have limited use time, you can find filters when exploring but the level design is difficult to traverse at times, so if you don't find the filters you will die, The game wants you to explore, to find scattered notes and things like the world's currency, extra ammo and weapons. If you don't explore you will have just enough time on the filters to get through the level. And towards the end, there was a couple battles which I had to figure out specifically how to get through them, which were minor annoyances. Overall, it is a good game.
Saints Row 3 is silly, over the top cartoon-violent and over-sexualized, in bad taste, and ridiculous fun, The combat action is good, the different side missions are varied and the overall story campaign is as over the top as the World that it takes place in.
There is a lot of detail put into the game. Everything is fully voiced, including your character interacting with the world, and not to much cursing, considering all the dialog. I made it through about 90% of the game missions, both endings, and didn't have a problem with any of the vehicles using a controller. ;D
