Yep...it's that time again.
I'm currently playing Thief 3, The Suffering, and Devil May Cry. A truly
diabolical line-up now that I'm looking at it.
Thief 3 is going good so far. Basically more of the same if you played the
firs two, even though the absence of swimming is inexcusable. Graphics are
GREAT...my first real taste of next-gen (I could never really play Far Cry
properly at the higher detail levels) visuals. I can actually maintain a
very playable framerate with everything turned up at 1280. It's surprising.
Light and shadows, bloom effect all combine for a really immersive
experience.
Also, it's fun to listen to people's conversations from the shadows. The
voice acting is good and pleasantly funny at times. I was in the guards'
barracks stealing their stuff and one was talking in his sleep. "No
Mummy...I don't want any more porridge..."
Hahaha!
The Suffering is some dark, morbid, violent, sadistic, scary and profane
survival action gaming.
Doorbell ringing...more later.
