I'm managing to stretch my playthrough of Modern Warfare 3 out over weeks, which is quite an achievement considering the campaign is reportedly not that long. Anyway, I'm really enjoying it, with the game delivering all the thrills and set-pieces I've come to expect from the series. I heard some less than positive things about the game's visuals when it was released last November, but to my eyes it's a very impressive looking game. Sure, it's not Crysis 2 levels of OMG, but the amount of action on the screen all running at a smooth, fast frame rate is still a great achievement. I bought Joe Danger in the Xbox LIVE Arcade sale recently, but for now MW3 is providing me with no reason to stop shooting people in the head.
You're going to have to excuse me, because I'm in the process of moving house at the moment. I don't have a car, so I've been trotting to and from one house to the other with a backpack and a suitcase, lugging all my stuff and getting pretty sweaty in this unusually hot spring heatwave. I don't have any internet, and between my house and the train station there's a surprisingly large hill that I need to cross.
With the exception of the sun's merry rays, my life is currently an eerily perfect recreation of Skyrim. In Skyrim I'm constantly lugging stuff around and climbing hills, and they haven't quite managed to pipe fresh Whiterun yet, either. I feel like a Z-tier Dragonborn. If it snows in Forest Hill this winter there's a good chance I might wake up one morning and actually think I've been transported to Tamriel.
Oh, and I also killed some baddies and rode my horse about a bit. I'm at least 80% sure I was doing that in the game.
Ah brilliant, I've already welled up playing Mass Effect 3. In case you weren't already convinced I was a giant human baby after hearing my anecdote about that one time when I finished The Longest Journey and wept, at just a handful of hours in I'm already feeling the emotional toll of this bloody game. So yes, cheers for that BioWare. Looking forward to seeing the end at this point however, I've successfully managed to ignore all complaints about the game so far. Does it turn out it's all a dream inside a cat?
