Well, That Was Fast!

Good morning, Readers!
Picture
Last night I streamed the 2013 Tomb Raider game.  It was the fourth stream of the game... and the last.

Turns out, I was closer to the end of the game than I thought.  It ended just shy of two hours into the stream.

I'm actually genuinely sad about having finished the game already, as I really liked it.  A full sassy review will be forthcoming.  Those take a while to write up, so I'll try and have it for you on Monday.

The next game I'm streaming is the new Assassin's Creed installment, Origins.  I figured after such a short game, something that is longer might be nice.  The roster following that is Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and Rise of the Tomb Raider, both of which are shorter games.  Then I have Far Cry Primal on the list.  That promises to be a long game.  Not Skyrim long (I've streamed enough to take me into February of next year and I'm nowhere near done), but long.

I think I'll be posting the streams on my YouTube channel.  There are only four of them, after all.

I am surprised that the game was so short.  It really could have been a bit longer (but also not, I'll explain in my review).  I think The Last of Us hit the mark for game length.  Then again, I'm not sure it would have served the story and the driving feel of the game if it was longer.

As I'm getting more into the streaming stuff, I've created a new page just for gaming things.  If you're not all that interested in my writing career or my other activities but want to keep up with the gaming stuff, my Facebook page SMC Awkwardly Plays is the place for you.  If you're interested in it all, for some reason, The S.M. Carrière Facebook Café is the place to be.  That's the central hub for all of my stuff.

(Quick reminder: my Facebook activity is restricted only to professional stuff (my gaming, video podcasting and writing), so I won't be active on there save for my pages and the café)

Are there actually any gamers reading this?  I'm interested to know which games you've played and loved, and really wished was a little longer?  Let me know below!

​Ciao!

I can't really say which game I really like that I wish was a bit longer. But I would have to say Gungrave it was decent fun but it took me like 8 hrs or less tip finish. Other than that I don't like long game anymore especially the Final Fantasy series good games but it take way to upgrade your character to make them strong enough to defeat a boss or monsters.

It depends on the game for me. I don't mind spending 200+ hours in Skyrim because it's a lot of fun to be in that world, and I expect to be there a while. But for games with more urgent, driving plot lines, it is not fun to have to play too much. Tomb Raider was, I feel, a bit short. The Last of Us was great for length... but I think that was because they wanted more time for character development. Tomb Raider was a lot less complex in that regard.

I don’t necessarily wish it was longer, but Journey was one of my favourite games pretty much ever, and I immediately played through it a second time upon completing it the first. Of course, it’s only 40 minutes to 2 hours long, depending on where you go...

I have not yet played it, but I have heard amazing things about Journey.
