So I've finally got to 20,000 points, and I'm way behind schedule. However, I am slowly getting there, so I'm still pretty confident of hitting my overall target.
Recent games that have added to my total have been Street Fighter IV and Halo Wars.
Street Fighter IV has given a pretty easy 400 or so points, but I think it's the kind of game that I'll probably keep playing, even though no points are involved. It's not perfect by any means, but it's the kind of game that you could always easily just put on for a few quick online games.
There are some really annoying parts to it that should never be in a game that ranks so highly on Metacritic though. Like not even giving you the ability to turn, what has got to be some of the most horrible music ever made, completely off.
You can turn it down.
But never off.
...Then on top of that, there's the incredibly annoying fight announcer!
There's an achievement to play 500 online games, plus there are all of the fights that you'll have to do to unlock all of the characters, and then you'll want to finish it with every character, and the challenges, etc, etc.
Did they not think that they'd need more than 2 or 3 phrases for the fight announcer to come out with over possibly THOUSANDS of games!?!?
They phrases get so annoyingly repetitive, all you want to do is turn them right off, but guess what?
You can only turn them off if you turn off all the speech in the ENTIRE game!
That's right, no fight announcer, no 'Hadooken!', no 'Tiger Uppercut!', no 'Sonic boom!'.
If I had reviewed this game, I'd have given it a big fat ZERO for audio.
So besides that, I've also been playing Halo Wars, which I've enjoyed a lot more than I originally thought I would. I just don't seem to get bored of building massive armies in different ways and taking out my enemies.
I've never really been into RTS games before.
I tried Command and Conquer, but it still remains one of those 'yeah, I'll play that one later' type games that I have so many of.
It could be the case that Halo Wars is more straight forward than most other RTS's, so it allows me to focus on the building and fighting parts of the game that makes it so appealing to me. I'm not sure, but enjoying this game as much as I have has made me want to see what else the RTS genre has to offer in the near future.
30k, here we come!
