Finally decided to try GTA to see what the fuss was about.
GTA3 that is. Am 2/3 into it, probably. Though even if I play a bit this weekend, I'm not going to finish it before going on vacation.
Obviously the fuss about how it's a horrible and violent and deviant game was blown out of proportion. And playing it 14 years after release, the novelty and innovation doesn't strike me either
Well, it's amusing, it's fun to see they have an entire radio station devoted to Scarface soundtrack, I'm still a better driver in game than in real life, I'm quite unsure it's realistic because you can crush passersby by the dozen without getting noticed by the cops, and I loathe the saving system to high heaven.
When it'll be over, it'll probably be time for me for a new game of XCOM, or to try Age of Empires III at long last. In the longer run, I'll use my WOW Token (good thing I farmed all available quests all these years, it allowed me to stack a decent amount of gold, enough to buy a token). But that's definitely not for this weekend, not even for this month.
