Visiting Rio de Janeiro in Gold Rush! Classic |
The following post is part of a series of posts that are published every Sunday to update readers on what Mark G has been up to with respect to finishing off games on his "Pile of Shame". The games to target are picked by Choicest Games contributors Choona, Luke and myself. As I'll be talking about my progress through these games, there may be spoilers ahead, especially for games containing a narrative. Consider yourself warned.
Wasteland 2: Director's Cut
- Picked by Me
- Percentage Complete = 36%
I also came across a frustrating bug where my own followers blocked the damn doorway! This meant my squad was split in two and the only squad members I had available to take on the remaining enemies were ones that specialised in pistols. Since the combat encounters in Wasteland 2 are designed to only finish when all enemies are dead (i.e. you can't attempt to flee beforehand) that encounter could've ended real badly. Fortunately, at the last minute, one of the followers finally decided to move out of the way so I could send the rest of the squad as backup!
Homefront: The Revolution
- Picked by Luke
- Percentage Complete = 53%
I also used an explosive RC car for the first time to help me get into a radio room: one of the doors to the room was padlocked and the only way to destroy it was sending an RC car into a small crack that led to the inside of the locked room. From there, it could then get close enough to the padlock to destroy it. I like the fact you have to perform basic puzzle solving in order to unlock areas in the game, but I guess it's pretty similar to what you do when you're climbing towers in Far Cry, Assassin's Creed or Tomb Raider, so it's not exactly, revolutionary (mind the pun).
Gold Rush! Classic
- Picked by Choona
- Percentage Complete = 36%
I like how the game is broken into stages since at the end of each stage, it tells you the maximum points you could've achieved as well as providing hints on anything you've missed.
Anyway, I'm now at a place called Sutter's Fort which was a real place during the California Gold Rush, and now I need to figure out what to do. I'm hoping Jerrod's brother's letter will provide clues.
One thing I found confusing was why La Cucaracha was played when you visited Rio de Janeiro... I mean, wasn't Rio de Janeiro a Portuguese colony and isn't La Cucaracha a Spanish folk song popular in Mexico?
