Magic Carpet 2
One of the better sequel, which adds many new enemies with every spell having three levels of power is making a huge change compared to its predecessor. With the new underground and night levels, we have a shorter game, but the variety of tasks which will need to do makes it better. I advise to find all the secret passages, since we can gather experience scrolls that will level up our spells a lot faster. Otherwise, we need to use them to finally gain a next upgrade. I love the terrain changing ones, like a small volcano on lvl. 1 becomes a huge mountain spitting fire and rocks all around. Also, the Meteor, which becomes "nuke it from orbit" spell. Original had too many repetitive build castle -> destroy other mages routine. The new foes are really making it harder for us to survive, like the Cymmerians that don't die easily. Instead, they become tiny bugs that will attack our castle. Or little devils, which are usually in big packs, and have that annoying laugh that pisses you off. Hiding behind the rocks to avoid the gaze of the stone Sentinels, which can kill you in a couple of secons. Or behemoths of the netherworlds - dragons, leviathans and hydras. The battles with Hydras are the most exciting ones. They can take a lot of damage, and they are easily attracted to our castle. Killing them is the most satisfying thing that you can do, and you will pimp your castle with that precious mana of her.
The only problem, is that due to the Electronic Arts meddling, MC2 was rushed and has some problems with handling the DOS4GW and it can crash easily, when you choose the SVGA graphics. In low resolution it is less frequent. Just like with most of the Bullfrog titles, MC2 has a really very addictive gameplay and it is always fun to replay it from time to time.

I don't like what the Gun Runner's Arsenal did with this place. Used to be just a bunch of Rebar clubs (heavy, worth 100 caps each) and some laser pistols on the dead Bright ghouls. But GRA DLC added Plasma. And that's like 450 caps each. By the time you finished Novac, money is no longer a problem and you have Plasma rifles and sometimes Plasma Defenders.

Thought he was giving the finger there at first. Be a cool game over screen, wouldn't it?
The Jury Rigging perk broke the game that way anyway. Able to repair the most expensive weapons using garbage you find everywhere. It's a heavy investment at 90 repair at level 14, but still, you could dedicate your entire pack to weapons and have all the money in the world for ammo/armour etc. from selling what you didn't use

That's level 14 tho.
Level 14 is always the breaking point of the game since there's so many good perks in there to choose from.
Anyway, launched ghouls to space and arrived at Boulder City.
Interesting, if you tell the NCR officer that you're sneaking in the Khans will become hostile. If you tell him you want to negotiate, they'll let you approach without hostility. Strange design decision.
Anyway, that laughing intro guy gets decapitated by Mr. Power Fist.
The walk to New Vegas should be straightforward, but I decided to blow 20,000 caps on surgery and went to do bounty for McCarran.

Both great games, top ten action games for me. Played both a lot including multiplayer. In the end I preferred the first simpler mechanic. Terra forming spells were teh shit, you really felt like a powerful wizard tearing ground apart and making everything moving explode into balls of mana. Raining meteorites were great too, after a while of total mayhem you weren't sure where's up and down.
I like first's intro:
2 days after the doggos, i got 7 cats
I just got 9 terriers, think I'll sell them. Too bad real life unwanted pets aren't that easy to sell.

Forgot to bring a demolitions expert aboard Goto's ship? No problem.
I am sure Kreia has some lesson to teach us about walking into a dozen mines.

In case of emergency like drop raids.
Veronica's seen enough and decided to wake her brothers up.
The trip to the hidden bunker is plagued with a dozen radscorpions of all shapes and sizes.
Good thing I have a grenade launcher handy.
Now that we're inside, it's time to acquire some nice tech.
Stealthboy - on.
Pickpocket the armory officer for the key...and we're in.
Four sets of T-51B in GOOD condition worth 4,000 caps each.
Carry all this for me, Ronnie.
Fuck yeah. I wonder if Arcade is able to wear one too?
