Fallout 3 – Going back

I haven’t played fallout 3 in little over a month, beforehand I think I played it at least every other day for about a month and a half. I think somewhere in that initial play, I must have hit a point where it turned into a bit of a grind and not really realised it because it sort of crept up on me. Going back to it the other day felt a little on the monotonous side. The fact I’ve been level 20 for a while now, and essentially have no problems with supplies due to earlier hoarding has meant that I’m essentially trekking around buildings that all look and feel similar for the few interesting bits about them, whether it be a tiny bit of narrative or a rare / unique item. I Happened to be somewhere that was exclusively filled with super mutants, which are a pretty easy kill for me without even trying, which probably didn’t help. Maybe because the time away has left me doing more fast paced and colourful things, going back was just a bit of a shock, but it really didn’t grab me In the way it had previously. I think the time’s right to really hit the story hard and get through to the other side, I don’t think that there’s much left in the wasteland wandering for me at the moment…

Attempt to get back on track #01

Ok, so i havn’t blogged in a while, but thats mainly because i’ve been to busy sitting slack jawed infront of my 360. Since the last post, i’ve failed to get much further with mother, mainly because the 2 trips i’ve been on lacked either a) power to my GBA or b) headphones for the battles.

As for Lara, i’m afraid there’s just been much better games to be playing.  I’ve been hitting fallout Hard lately, around 60 hours in now with a level 14 saintly creature who’s penchant for exploring and side quests have left me with lots of storyline almost discarded thus far.   I’ve barely even started the main story line, i’ve been so happy just wandering around the place and taking every little thing out of the wastes to sell.  The stupid thing is that even though i’m doing that, by the time you take into account repairs and expended bullets and stimpacks etc. i’m probably not that much better off. I have found myself in some lovely places though, and with some great experiences from it all. I doubt this is the last you’ve heard on Fallout 3.

Rock Band 2 has also hit the 360, and it’s just as fun as the last one.  Me and Anniedele ar eexclusively hard players now, although it’s *really* hard on some songs, usually it’s been the ones i’ve liked the most tune wise that have been the hardest on the drums :(  I’ve also been playing Bass when it gets late, which is pretty straight forwards compared to the guitar, but still great fun on most of the tracks (Bar beastie boys….)

The other biggie is Left 4 Dead, of which i only have the demo, but damn that demo is good! Got to play the 4 on 4 round a friends house over the weekend, and it’s beyond fun! I really can’t wait to hit the LAN party with it.  I am rubbish with all the zombies bar the boomer, but then you can’t win ‘em all.

The real key on this blog now is how long it takes to get the next one up isn’t it…..
