This was a long awaited thing, and I thoroughly enjoyed playing the game. Unfortunately we could only play one battle but you could pick either Rome or Egypt of which I tried both. Rome was the more challenging of the two and I just left my navy to die after forgetting about them but out played the defending Egyptians on land so I won the battle anyway. Then playing as Egypt I felt like the game played me... I couldn't set my army out in a formation I was comfortable with so I got a displeasing set up and then to top it off spent half the battle trying to figure out how to deploy these really cool fire ball things and by the time I had figured it out, the Romans were engaging me. Least to say I thought "Well shit." but alas even out positioned because I was trying to figure shit out they were losing and I had nothing tactically to do... I was just winning from the word go. This wasn't satisfying as I was not earning this victory and it felt like I'd just pushed an old guy down the stairs. I couldn't feel proud of this victory. I can just hope that was on easy battle difficulty.
Then I played the Ocolus Rift (VIRTUAL REALITY SHIT) and it was incredibly. The game is my tutors game which I am personally excited for but as a device this was one of the coolest things I have experienced. It helped that the environment was stunning as I was walking through trees, looking down a cliff and across a town but to be inside of a game was incredible!! I can only wait for what the future holds for this stuff because it's heading in the perfect direction.
After an awesome day we went to rest our heads at a hotel we booked...
Least to say... we checked in for an hour and then left to stay somewhere else... All in all a great weekend!
