UPlay Rubbish
Hey and welcome to my first blogged rant!
So I’ve been playing Assassins Creed 4 for the last 2 days (great game so far, I’ll do a separate writeup another time) but what is really starting to annoy me is UPlay. It’s a Ubisoft thing and in AC4 it prompts you to sign in. Twice. EVERY TIME YOU START THE GAME! Just bleep off and let me enjoy the game. Nobody wants it so just take the hint and stop bothering me.UPDATE: So I finally caved in and registered a UPlay account and Passport. To Ubisoft’s credit, this is now free (despite the text still saying to purchase it), but frankly, I shouldn’t have to just to avoid 2 annoying prompts.

Game Completed: Killzone 2
So I finally played through Killzone 2, figured I should have some background before embarking on Killzone Shadowfall.
On the whole quite enjoyed it, playing through on standard difficulty, except for the end boss. Despite reading tactics I ended up wussing out and completing the last fight on easy. Which is weird – everybody said -getting- to him was the difficult bit, actually taking him out isn’t that bad. For me it was the other way around, getting through his minions was doable, but one-on-one (Rico is worse than useless) proved impossible for me. Just have no idea how one is supposed to take down an invisible teleporting dude with a super machinegun and one-hit-kill if he gets too close to you, which he keeps doing because he teleports behind you. On easy it was tough but doable – requiring significantly fewer hits.
An FPS-maniac I, clearly, am not.

Hobbit : Part 2
Watched the second part of the Hobbit tonight. On the whole quite good I thought, especially the addition of Gandalf’s quest, but not sure why it deviated from the book in certain respects (no details as I don’t want to spoil it).
Doesn’t really add to the story, just got the feeling it was different for differences sake.
The people in our group who had not read the book thought it was quite good.
