Hello :)
Since my last post I’ve played 3 games, 2 of them were SG wins and the last one was on PS3. Recently dear friend of mine gave me his PS3 to play all the exlusives for Playstation and that means I’m in huge backlog trouble. He gave me Uncharted 1-3, 2 God of war games, Red Dead Redemption and Shadow of the Colossus. I will start with my SG wins first in my update.

Sniper Ghost Warrior 2:

Well the game is pretty average, nothing special neither nothing bad. I felt it like a Call of Duty game, pretty straight forward with stupid characters which you don’t care about. Even the cutscenes felt bad, they just looked ugly. Besides these minor flaws I enjoyed the game. I’m huge sniper fan and there is a lot of shooting with snipers in this game. There are 3 difficulties, I’ve played it on Hard(which is the hardest difficulty) and even on Hard the game is pretty easy so I guess the difficulty isn’t a factor to discuss. Recommending this game to achievemenet hunters since the cheevos are really easy to obtain. There are quite a few MP achievements which can be done with a friend in a private session(thanking the heavens for that). I wrote a, in my opinion, really helpful guide for one MP achievement which will save you ton of time —> link
Collectables in this game are easy to get, just find a good guide.

Is it a game? Is it a movie? I don’t know to be honest. The game is really something different and you all know that sometimes difference is not well accepted. Some love it some don’t, I’m right in the middle. It’s very abstract, like an art. People who study something related to literature will find way more details than these who don’t. For some reason the game run for me in constant 20-25 fps on min, which was quite a surprise for me. I know my pc is bad but it runs indie games just fine, well not anymore I guess.
Because of the game not running good on my pc my motivation to get all cheevos went down the drain.

Red Dead Redemption:

Red Dead Redemption

Before you read this part about Red Dead Redemtion take a big note that I’m HUGE Rockstar fan, like I don’t see any flaws. I’m sure there are some, I even gonna mark some but at the end they will not change my mind about how great this game is :D.
Damn it was worth it to accept the PS3 only for Red Dead Redemption. The game was ton of fun, interesting characters(at least the main one), enormous world with ton of stuff to do in it, great representation of the wild west it really sends you in that time period. Missions are really interesting, by far my favorite ones are the very last 10 missions or so, they were so relaxing and I really enjoyed them. The shoothing mechanics were fine I guess, I really hate playing with joystick and I can’t stop thinking how better would this game be with a keyboard and a mouse. There is ton of stuff to do after you complete the story but sadly this is where the game lost me. You really need to travel huge distances to do stuff and the fast travel is really “slow”. In order to fast travel you need to place a small camp but it’s not possible to place camp everywhere and it’s really tedious how long is taking to place a fucking camp. I had couple of bugs while playing, character just freze and can’t shoot, had to restart checkpoints(they are perfectly placed so you don’t loose much progress in the mission)

I’m not a big Rockstar fan but I also really, REALLY adored Red Dead Redemption. I played it waaaayyy late after the hype had passed, and while at first I got lost in the ‘everything including the kitchen sink’ type of gameplay (too much to do), once I hooked into how the plot progressed and how to find the really interesting sidequests (like the one with that guy in the top hat!) I fell in love with the game and the world.

I enjoyed riding around the map and thought the horses handled wonderfully. I think John Marston is one of the few male video game protagonists I ever really not just cared about but liked. He was a really charming, likable man who was well-rounded and interesting. There’s a really fascinating article about his voice actor that you might want to read - I think a big part of how good the character was was just how good his performance was. Red Dead Redemption is, in my opinion, the best Rockstar has to offer, and I’m holding out hope for the sequel to be good (but without Marston? ehhhhh….)
