Really long introduction. Took forever to become a mage, one of the 3 classes available in the game, the other 2 being ranged attacker and melee. Diablo-like stuff.
Combat appears to focus on melee. Though magic, bows and crossbows are available, monsters move too fast to be kited, so unless you can kill them before they reach you (without you moving), melee combat is a necessity.
Though there are only 3 types of magic for fighting, there are also about 20 types of potions and scrolls that can be used and crafted. Yea, not a lot of variety really.
But this game has a lot of content to offset the crappy combat. The developers seemed to have spent most of their time creating and designing quests. Like I said, really long introduction. There's a loooooooooot of quests that can be completed before specialising in anything. Of course they can be skipped but it's not advisable to miss too many because certain quests require combat and they can't be completed if the character is too weak.
Ok, so for my first week dabbling in the American stock market in this simulation, this is my result. Lost almost $2k. As for TATA I could have sold it earlier to get more profit (over $500 net) but in the end I thought it didn't really matter in the larger picture.
SC2 GSL Season 3 begins on Monday! I see what Blizzard is trying to do. Instead of merely creating a great game, they've decided to go one step further and try to make it an established game like soccer or basketball in real life.
I wonder if it will actually work. This game is no longer just a game for many. It's actually stressful to play if one is to take it seriously.
Witcher 2 can be pre-ordered now! Costs US$45 though :( Usual price is US$50 :(((
