i finished the light campaign of sacred 2 last night. the last battle was stupidly hard - i drank about 250 heal potions, got in no spells or combos. basically, i was hitting the heal button every half a second and died whenever i tried to do anything else but hit the thing with my swords. bosses shouldn't be that overpowered. unless you are meant to be at 50th level or something before you go to kill it. i was at 40 and even with all my heals, i still died about 15 times. i'd died a total of 14 times during the whole rest of the game. so, to me, that seems like pretty bad game design.
but anyway - i did enjoy playing the game. my dark campaign character is on 7th level, and i'm considering ignoring side quests with her and just doing the main quest. might get the dedicated achievement too (completing main quest with exploring less than 20% of the map).
when i was younger, hide and seek was my favourite game. i was never any good at tag, because i'm not fast, but with hide and seek, it was all about finding a good spot and keeping quiet. a lot of the people i played with didn't understand this and peeked out or laughed or whatever. but not me. i was good at hiding. the reason i'm posting this is because i'm playing splinter cell at the moment and i absolutely love sneaky games. the thief series is one of my favourites and it's all about hanging out in the shadows, not moving and waiting for the right moment to run to the next hidey-spot or to take out the patrolling guard. i just find that the most fun ever.
the other day i was thinking about advanced rules for hide and seek. where there are two people who are "it." one is the normal "it" who tries to find everyone, but the other is kinda special. this person hides and everyone else has to try and find them. so the winner is the person who finds the "hider" without being caught. i think it would be great fun.
my new passport arrived today. yeay, me and lordkilljoy can go off on a holiday now.
