My Week in Gaming 12/22-12/28

Far Cry 4

I got a few more hours into Far Cry 4, and I'm enjoying it more. I am not the type of gamer that enjoys just cruising around open worlds. I have to feel like there is a purpose to me being there. Getting more into the story and side missions of Far Cry 4 helps me a lot to really get invested in the world and, therefore, enjoy my time there more.

Papers, Please

I played Papers, Please when it came out on PC and made a big splash. However, I didn't really enjoy the controls and trying to manage all the documents. Since the game is really like doing a job and being as efficient as possible, having any issue with the controls really ruins an already (purposely) tedious experience. :)

However, now I'm playing the game on my iPad. It is so, so, so much better! The controls are completely intuitive and make more sense, as it really feels like I'm in the booth moving things around and flipping through the pages of regulations/rules.

Honestly, I'm still not sure how much I'll play of the game, since it is like a job, but I really feel like I'm getting the "real" experience now - and giving the game the time it deserves, whether or not I end up loving my time in the game.
