As I’ve said before, I don’t like soldier games. Medal of Honour and Call of Duty both bore me to tears. Every other soldier game I’ve played since, well, Cannon Fodder I suppose, has been “meh” to me. So imagine my surprise when I found this to be just as tedious. OK, so it’s pretty and funny and the way you can blow holes in walls is nice, but it’s the whole “being a soldier” thing I don’t like about …
Completed all of the remaining “Scary Castle” levels today, followed by the first six or so in the Sewers. But now I’m stuck. Bah.
At 57 hours game time, and on my third attempt, I completed the final mission and killed Dimitri. Game over! And around 20 minutes of credits too – they even name the office receptionist… But I wasn’t happy with the outcome. Someone dies, and I didn’t like it. So I went back to a previous save and chose to kill Dimitri then rather than work with him. The result? Another death. A different death, sure, but one that was a …
Played mainly online today. Started off with a bit of Free Play, then Deathmatched for a game or to, before finishing off the session with several rounds of Mafiya Work. The latter of which was actually better than I was expecting, but seemed far too random to require much skill – whoever was nearest the target when it appeared tended to “win”. After that, I was kicked off Live for some reason, so played offline for a bit. I attempted …
Just two levels on this tonight. I’d hoped to have done more, but 2-7 was far too hard. Well, it wasn’t in the end, I was just looking at it the wrong way.
So I tooled up and retried the mission, completing it without any problems this time. After which it was time for Roman’s wedding – a wedding which I was told was going to take place at 10am. I hung around a safe house, shopped for a new suit, and went for a walk while waiting. But the game never told me where to actually go. Come 1pm, I decided to save my game, and then immediately afterwards got a call …
I think I’m almost done! I went back to the main story, and found Darko Brevic – who I decided not to kill. I don’t know if that was the right decision or not, but since I’ve saved everyone I could so far, and Roman was quite insistent I spare him, I thought it best. And then I attempted what I assume is the final mission. I was given the choice of working with Dimitri, or killing him. I chose …
It was very easy and felt like Kung Fu Panda only with more gore. I’ve been told the full version is harder and more varied, but if the demo doesn’t win me over I’m not likely to buy the full game. Mind you, I’ve done it before and everything worked out for the best…
Just vigilante missions again today, and completed them all. Which netted me another achievement! Some of them were pretty good too – far better and more varied than the usual stuff from previous games in the series. I then played online for a while, on Ranked Deathmatch. Picked up another two achievements there as well, even though I didn’t do especially well.
Just Vigilante missions again today. I’ve finished all the Most Wanted missions in the Bohan/Broker areas, and completed two in Alderney too. I’m also over 51 hours in now. And I’ve still not completed it. It’s also just about the only game I’ve played for almost two weeks now too. Yes, it is very good.
Mainly spent my time on vigilante missions today, getting the achievement for taking down 20 criminals found on the police computer, and then completing all the Algonquin “Most Wanted” missions. After that I did Gravelli’s (or whatever his name is – old bloke in the hospital) next mission – blowing up some vans filled with cocaine. I took an indirect route around some rooftops, which made it much easier than it originally looked. Then I retried Phil’s mission getting some …
Quite a lot of play on this again today. I’m past 48 hours on it now. That’s a lot more than any of the other GTA games, despite the fact this has a smaller map than San Andreas. Or does it? It might actually be larger – just being more filled in makes it seem smaller… Anyway. I broke the $500,000 “barrier” today, mainly by nicking cars for Brucie and Stevie. And not a lot else, actually. Silly me hadn’t …
First off today I did my first Assassin mission, followed by the rest of them in quick succession. They were all pretty easy, and doing all nine netted me an achievement. I then did a couple of missions for Jimmy, and found a guy on the street I’d met in the game previously and did a “side-mission” with him. Or rather, shot him. Then I stole some cars (and bikes) for Brucie, took Little Jacob and Dwayne out for meals, …
