SWTOR got a lot of play Thursday and Friday, easy stress escape and I got caught up in leveling my bounty hunter. What is really irritating me is that since the last time I played the fine folks over a Bioware have for some unfathomable reason disabled the ability to take a screenshot during a dialogue scene with a NPC. I’ve missed countless great shots of humorous lines or facial expressions as a result. Hell, I’ve just missed great shots of my characters up close.
I have a plethora of screenshot for the wildlife or environment but not one of my character. I am going to have to remedy that next time I log on. I fell into the crafting trap this weekend, you know the one. You spend more time logging in and out of various characters to craft items or send raw materials. I wish they would release an app for one of the mobile platforms to let gamers do that stuff while away from their gaming rig. I would definitely spend more free time in SWTOR or any game to be honest, that let me get some of the more mundane but vital activities, like crafting, accomplished while waiting at the doctor’s office or watching television.
I fired up the Xbox demo for Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD before I had my first cup of coffee on Saturday morning. It left a bad taste in my mouth and I quickly moved on. Hubby woke up and he tried it thankfully and I was instantly charmed. So a couple of cups of coffee and a trial by hubby and AC: Liberation wound up on my game rotation for the week. A full review when I am more than a couple of hours of game play in and more than one cup of coffee consumed.
Thanks to the fine folks at Gamefly I also played some Diablo III on Saturday. I created a female barbarian and set off on my single adventures. I got to New Tristam and learned that there was no way to link my battle.net account to my Xbox account and was instantly frustrated. All those fine goodies from virtual Blizzcon tickets are going to go to waste because of my platform choice? Seems like a oversight that should not have happened. Diablo III never felt like a PC game to me and there is no way I’m paying PC prices for it when I can rent it or buy it from Gamefly. The one thing I do really like about the port to the console is that cooperative game play isn’t fouled up by a split screen which drives us both bonkers.
Hubby fired up Mass Effect and started the ugliest character he has ever created on Insanity. No seriously, the Shepard he created was so ugly I cringed every single time I looked up at the television and caught a glimpse of him. He took pity on me and recreated Shepard as Sheldon Cooper and started over on Insanity. All I have to saw is that Insanity is a difficulty setting I will never be attempting!
