Since I have had little else to do I've spent the majority of the week playing video games, namely Skyrim and Killing Floor. I also played Grand Theft Auto V because it is apparently a really good game, but no, as it turns out it is probably the worst game to have been released so far in this decade, I'd rather play Fifa '14. I don't see what all the fuss was about a game with a horrendous control system, physics engine and story was all about, the overuse of the words "fuck" and "nigger" didn't help either. I've got nothing against profanity, but you can't make an entire sentence out of the words "fuck" and "nigger".
I suppose the fuss is all about the mindless violence, but really if I wanted to play a game with mindless violence I'd play Prototype, that at least has a story, and quite a good one in my opinion, hell even Crackdown has a better storyline than Grand Theft Auto. I may just be fussy when it comes to games, but I like games that have a decent storyline and a nice feel to the gameplay mechanics, I hope you can understand what I mean by that, because I can't explain it. Another thing I like is immersion, I like to feel like I'm part of the world the game is set, when I play Fallout 3 I feel like I'm the Lone-Wanderer who is saving the Capital Wasteland, when I play Gears of War 3 I feel like I'm fending off hordes of locusts, hell when I play Overlord I Feel like I'm an evil overlord who commands armies of goblins.
Sometimes there are great games that don't strictly have a storyline such as Minecraft, Team Fortress and Killing Floor. These games are great because they make up for it in gameplay, and you can make up your own storyline to them. On the other end of the scale there are bad games with good storylines, such as Too Human, which isn't worth talking about, and also Final Fantasy XIII which is just a film that pauses every now and again so you can move a character four feet to the left so another cinematic can start.
Another thing I hate about Grand Theft Auto is the fact it kept changing my radio station from the classic rock station I left on to the station full of "music" that sounds like a bunch of fat people puking and farting along to some idiot smacking a bass drum with his face, or the other station that was full of lyrics that must have been written by a four year old with tourettes because every line in it is so disjointed, and full of profanity and, more importantly, there isn't a single piece of punctuation to be found in any of them damned "songs".
If you haven't guessed I really despise Grand Theft Auto, I'd rather vigorously dildo myself with a rasp than play it again. If your interested in a few games I approve of try these ones:
Killing Floor
Blue Dragon
Skyrim
Fallout 3
Oblivion
Prototype
Minecraft
Diablo II
Half Life
On a completely unrelated topic I watched Fight Club last night for the first time and it probably one of the best films I have ever seen, so I'll be buying that on DVD as soon as I get the opportunity. I also watched the first two episodes of a show called Person of Interest, which was pretty damned good, so I'll be watching the rest of those when I'm done with Breaking Bad.
