The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings, for the 3rd time. Still enjoying it just as much as when I played it the first time though. This time on Dark Mode though, so had a couple frustrating moments, especially against the Kayran ! Think I restarted it 30/40 times before it was done ! Now at act 2 and be farming loads of harpies for coins towards the Dark Mode schematics for the armour..
It is, it is also the hardest difficulty. You have Insane but that one they rating it to be between Hard and Dark Mode when it comes to combat and such. With Insane though, if you die, all save files gets corrupted and you have to restart from the beginning. So lot of save scumming and if you doubt you win the fight, reload before dying.I've only played that game once and have never heard of the Dark Mode but after looking it up, it sounds quite fascinating.
In my hiatus from gaming I missed Max Payne 3 so catching up with our favourite noir detective although interesting change of setting.
I'm on my second play through of Rise just now. I'm a bit opposite to your comments though as I enjoyed both games equally, I love everything the game does and I love the gameplay, in particular the climbing which I find so satisfying, especially using the hooks. I can't think of many other modern games that gets 'platforming' right the way Tomb Raider does. I found the climbing/platforming in Assassin's Creed to be quite frustrating for example...I've done almost a complete 180 on Rise of The Tomb Raider. It is better than the first one.
I don't like a lot of the things it does, and the gameplay is pretty basic, but I am enjoying it.
Went for it then
Cracking game...
