Added 2020-11-09 14:06:31 +0000 UTCFinished GI Joe: Operation Blackout. On the one hand, the story didn't seem designed to make me want to kill myself, with a lot of nice fannish touches like giving Destro a Scottish accent. On the other hand, it's unpolished to the point of feeling unfinished. The aiming is janky as hell (in a shooter!), every mission is about the same (go here, defend against hordes of faceless robots, bossfight that's exactly the same as other bossfights), and it's a hero shooter where they never explain how the Ultimates work--unless you quit to the main menu and read about them in the character bios. And those are presented in white text on a partly white background, making them hard to read! Did anyone play-test this one or did they just throw it on a disc and hope it would boot up once it sold?
Anyway, got a longstanding commission done and I'm going to work on another one today, as well as trying to get a hard and fast 500 words *at least* done on my novel per day. I'm hopeful I can queue up another week's worth of fics before my next video game arrives.
It's Rogue Squadron but you ride dragons. If this one's bad, it can only be through a deliberate act of malice.
