So I Think I Have Given Up
Ceallach | 9:50 AM on 07.13.2008 8 comments


Now normally I'm a completist. I have never actively given up on a game before. I have done everything I could to finish every game I own. I paid for it right?

But fucking Turok. I just don't have it in me.

I bought this abomination on day 1. Both out of high school nostaligia for Turok 1 for N64 and the free preorder T-shirt. I drudged through it for awhile. Convincing myself that it wasnt terrible, but it was just so boring. Not terrible and the novelty of stabbing dinos was fun, but I kept getting to parts where if I fucked up once I just didnt feel like trying again, and I would come back to the game a few weeks later, making progress, but man, I cant do it anymore.

It is just no fun. It isn't extremely difficult or extremely bad, I just cant justify spending free time on this god damn thing anymore.

I feel guilty and since I never sellback games, it will sit there on my DVD shelf for years taunting me, that one I just would not do. And there we will be forever, living together with nothing but contempt between us.

Fuck you Turok, I hope you're happy.

I played the demo. For some reason they wanted the knife to be important, but forgot to make regular weapons useful. The knife dinosaur fights was fun. But only the first ten times I did it.

Don't feel too bad, it was pretty terrible. I didn't get very far in it before giving up as you have.
