But late but I'm playing gta v as it was on offer somewhere. I'm at the end but I didn't like it as much as I liked San Andreas all those years ago. Maybe I'm just older and harder to please.
Games you're playing, and games...

Started Indiana Jones this weekend and although I enjoy the story and some of the puzzles this is pretty poor. Combat belongs on a 1990's game and first person just doesn't work, it should have been 3rd person. Some of the climbing and swinging is so glitchy you almost teleport to ledges. Visually it belongs on an xbox one. Tomb raider games on the X360 play better than this.
Stealth mechanics give Splinter Cell and MGS a run for their money though!
Interesting, must be because I have everything at default because I have no stealth mechanics. I've only done the first two areas but I pick something up, batter them with it. Pick up what they dropped and batter the next person. I've not seen the need to stealth anything, even when I entered a huge room to navigate with plenty of AI I've just beat the **** out of them until I was last man standing.
Some one is going to have to explain to me how you crack a whip around a scaffold pole so that it holds firm to swing on.
Aside from my normal simracing, I'm playing a few games currently, casual in nature I guess:
1. Jusant - picked it up cheaply after contemplating it for a while. Nice visuals, sound and puzzles are OK but starting to feel a bit repetitive.
2. Lonely Mountains: Snow Rider - loved the demo and enjoying learning the courses and improving my times. Will hopefully pursuade a few friends to join for multi-player and a bit of zen mode ski-ing too!
3. Escapists 2 - an old one I know, but was persuaded to get it to play online with a couple of friends. Great fun in multiplayer and enjoyed doing the single player escapes too.

No, the stealth is almost non existent. I was being facetious. I gave it up after a couple of hours, found it underwhelming.Interesting, must be because I have everything at default because I have no stealth mechanics.

Unfortunately the combat doesn’t improve. If anything for me it got worse. The characters and world were great but the combat janky af.
Henry is useless, it's the only game I know of, where you start as a complete zero - and it means the learning curve is vertical!
It does get a lot easier as you level up, but it takes a lot of time - personally I ranked up my stealth and bow skills, and focused on swords a lot later.
A great game imo, and my pre order is in for the 2nd
I think it saves when you sleep in a bed you own or rent (iirc), but you learn the saviour schnapps recipie early on, and can loot them too. I think I burgled a shop that sold them on my first play through

Yeah, I think I lost a few of them, then never bothered with that questline until much later on my other playthroughs.Started the side quest with the injured people in the monastery not knowing it was timed. People were dying ! I couldn’t even read by that pointgonna have to roll back a save or two. Wish KCD would tell you if a mission is time critical.
Iirc, it's the only one that has any sort of timer ticking.
Seems like you gotta go into it at least somewhat prepared. (Finding that Simon guy first. Learning to read and having bandages at hand. Not sure how I’m going to deal with a broken leg..as I’m only level one first aid)
It's a shame that it seemed to be one of the natural quests you'd follow, after the initial attack on your village, so easy to end up at too early (in skills terms); a bit of bad pacing there on the part of the Devs

I picked up Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League for cheap during the Christmas sales - so far I've been enjoying it. I'm still fairly early on so probably haven't hit the grindy aspect of it yet and it's definitely a very different game to the Batman Arkham games, however the story part seems good so far.
