Comment on What game did you last finish? What did you think of it?

Last finished was Black mesa few months ago, and had a blast remembering playing HL1 and 2 in the day. Just to show you don’t need the best graphics to enjoy.

Prior to that was Metros Exodus, and it was one of those games you remember well after a year of playing.

In between, I have started RDR2 but can’t get to keep it going, I’m not hooked on that one.

Source engine is just so clean looking that the graphics can hold up, the geometry is all crisp and clean but lighting effects hadn’t really developed beyond bloom at that point. Almost like minimalist graphics, in some ways I even prefer that. The game feels so light and free and all the art design is perfect for it.

I’m commenting I RDR2 because it’s my last finished game, and I also had trouble getting into it at first three years ago. Particularly the slower pace and the pretty low intensity of events, at first when you’re in New Hanover. The thing is it builds up slowly, bit like a movie, or a show. And it never stops upping the ante, at some point it throws at you spectacle after spectacle, and at this point you are possibly so invested in the characters (character writing being nothing short of excellent) that you’re all in this cowboy fantasy. Basically it’s a slow first quarter and then you’re in for surprises

Will have to play Stray. It’s very intriguing.
