Video Games... Almost heaven, but who has the time
I recently Acquired a copy of Final Fantasy XIII for my birthday. Also since I have won a series of gift cards from my work. I was also able to purchase Assassins Creed (AC).
Both these games I've already purchased and started to play to some extent, more on that later.
Since I still had quite a bit of money left over after the purchase of AC I decided that two more games should also be in effect. So from Amazon I've ordered the Sequel to AC, Assassin's Creed 2 (which I'm told is a major improvement from the previous game), as well as Heavy Rain (played the demo and the gaming is so revolutionary to my understanding of what gaming is I HAD to get it)
These two new games are being shipped and are on their way to my house as we speak.
So my dilemma falls to which game I should play first or which one I'll play more often.
Now when it comes to how I like to play games, it all depends on how much time I have. If I have a longer day I like to play games that are naturally long or have quite a bit of playtime before coming to a save point or saving "event." If I have a short amount of time I like to play games that I can quickly progress in with frequent saves, or Auto Saving.
Generally most of my experience with final fantasy games lends itself to the idea that it takes a long time to get from one point to another or a long time to do anything worthwhile in the game. so I generally only play those games when I have like all day of a weekend to play. however it seems, so far, that save points are actually somewhat frequent. and judging by how AMAZING the game seems so far I may actually play some times other than just long Saturdays.
However AC seems to also be pretty fun with good A.I. and graphics. not to mention frequent auto saves. so I may dedicate the shorter amounts of time to that game. I'll probably go both ways for a while
once heavy rain gets here. that'll confuse the whole deal. even more, but hey I'm a gamer I have to manage my time right? lol
Expect reviews to come soon on each game
