What was they thinking
Started the game thought was good started strange which i like. Went though the tutorial liking it once got more squad members seem to go down hill from there. Either as a 3rd person or tactical would be good, but thix.of both to me just dont seem to gel. Personally i think that should had kept at 3rd person only and would been ok. Controls are standard for a 3rd person shooter so nothing tha makes it stands out. And the 15 hour game play for the campain just dont seem as in depth as other xcoms

"The Blackhouse" by Peter May is told in alternating 1st/3rd person chapters. Saying that I've never seen this done before would be a lie, but I've never seen it done so well. The transition was seamless and logical. I have never thought about using something like this in my own writing, but now that I've read this book, man do I want to! #goals

The 3rd in the Rogue Squadron series was probably the most fun as it added several modes not in the previous two games and also gameplay as improved. Who doesn't love to run around on Hoth, run up beneath an AT-AT, and destroy it with a grenade? Most of the vehicle missions were a lot of fun too and this was a very memorable Star Wars GameCube game.

cool 1st/3rd person alternating chapters, lovable MC, tension (0 more)
With this book, I felt like I gained an insight into Lewis and the human experience. There isn't just one mystery to be solved, or one lie being told. May's characters are deep and full of surprises. Fin, the MC, must return to the land that was once home, but is also a source of distress, to solve the murder of a former classmate. I'm only 22, so my youth isn't haunting me yet, but Fin is still relatable and has my heart.

I loved the film, the storyline was good, it just didn't wow me like the first one did. It seemed to me that it was trying to hard to beat Jurassic World. Bryce Dallas Howard, excels herself in it, but she is maybe not the beat person for it. It felt like she was trying to hard to keep up with Chris Pratt & everyone else.
I hope they do a 3rd and final one, and don't be money grabbing idiots and try and drain it. It would be nice to see how Blue ended up.
