You are the villain who sends her a line of dark, fantastic passion
So my capture card arrived today, only for me to find that the power supply was missing. Sigh. That'll get to me either Saturday or next Saturday, but still. Disappointing. Did get a lunchbox, though, so now I'm wondering what I should take to have a more filling lunch, since previously all I could manage was a drink and a sandwich.
Manliest nerd ever.
Right now, I've got to say shooters. Halo, Gears, Half-Life, love 'em. I was an RPG fan for the longest time, but once I started getting into these, there was something exciting about taking on a group of enemies that, as an equivalent encounter in an RPG, would make you pause, and just blazing through not with the best equipment, but with reflexes, skill, and flatout luck. When I want a story, an RPG can deliver, but for gameplay, give me a shooter, hands down.
Now when you merge the two together, that is when we are fucking talking here. There's a reason I have high praises for Mass Effect and Fallout 3, and that's because the genres come together in harmony. The gameplay is about 90% shooter with 10% RPG "pause to consider the battle" element (Mass Effect's power wheel, Fallout 3's V.A.T.S. mechanic), but the backend isn't entirely about skill and includes RPG elements, like having a character with better knowledge of energy weapons does more damage with a laser pistol. Mass Effect 2 really shines here, in that it has upgrades alone for damage boosts and general buffs, whereas character levels are more for powers and class-specific awesomeness.
