i guess it doesn't help that basically all the first person shooters i've played in the past year push you to keep moving and give you plenty of mobility. whether it's doom, titanfall 2, or even overwatch, i was never just staying put and peeking out of cover to kill enemies. maybe i'm just not so good at this game, but i'm just not really digging the actual shooting here. weapons aren't that interesting either.

it's a style preference for sure. you're right in that it's slower, more methodical, at least compared to other recent FPS games. it's a lot like Half-Life in a sense. I don't agree that the weapons aren't interesting though, you're crazy! if you can't have fun dual wielding shotguns why are you even playing video games =)

I dunno if you had plans on The Old Blood, but there's a lot more stealth and a less interesting story. I liked it, but TNO is also one of my favourite FPSers ever, so.

I played a bit more of Game of Thrones last night. I finished episode 2. I continue to go into that game with low expectations and walk away modestly impressed. I'm still having a hard time getting to know these characters, which is kind of a unique problem for TT games. Either I go into a series knowing who these people are already, or a handful of characters have such a presence on screen that I gel with them immediately. It's much easier to identify the House Forrester plight, which might be the intent.

One area this game excels in is its use of dramatic irony. There were 4 perspectives I played from in the last episode, all from House Forrester, but all four are set in different parts of Westeros. All four characters are working towards a common goal, but there are competing interests in play, and the characters don't communicate with each other. It's neat stuff.
