I’m about 8 hours late on this post. Forgot to hit “Publish”…
Finally beat two games I’d been meaning to for months but work combined with poor drivers from ATi and some sort of Windows Audio service issue because of some driver conflict with the Creative X-Fi (thanks Creative… You suck) and ASUS Xonar D2X stopped me from even being able to play games much at all.
I just finished Mass Effect and am letting the credits roll. NOW I’m excited for the sequel, kinda. Seems like it’ll be pretty boring much as Mass Effect became not more than 4 hours in. Half-Life 2: Episode One was the other game I finished. That was a lot more fun but very linear as is Valve’s style where they hold your hand throughout the game and very vague storyline. Thing about Half-Life 2 though is that it’s fun. It’s never gotten old to watch those amazing Havok ragdoll physics and use all the guns in the game in various ways. I think this is why I’ve been so kept in Valve’s camp this entire time; they just make fun games.
I know I still have a crapload more to beat, but hopefully when the new video drivers are released, I can finish up some other ones like Crysis Warhead and Assassin’s Creed which are crashtacular at the moment. I’ll be so happy to start finishing up games again. this is awesome!
[Update]
Apparently Crysis Warhead had an issue because of a bug in the software which ONLY happens if you save during this one stage. It was because of a patch in February, and get this, the ONE place I chose to save happened to the be the one place that bugs up the game. Great…
