Title: Say Anything About The Game You're Currently Playing...
Post by: ethomaz on Jun 05, 2014, 03:13 AM
Two or so hours on Child of Light (Hard)... the game is absolutely gorgeous and good... one of the best games I played this generation for sure.

I'm loving it.

Picked BL2 up this week where I left off more than a year ago. I intend to finish it, and I'm really close. Still as good as ever.

Playing FFX-2, but haven't really played for days ...  :'(

I beat that game by shooting from a rock while standing behind  (I think it was) a pink/purple wall that makes sure you can't go to a big fight after you died.  :o
I liked the first game more, I remember having an Omega- or Alpha-shield that was so strong that no enemy could empty it.  ;D

honestly I liked the second game more just because it was easier the second time around with the visuals and controls for me. I had a hard time seeing enemies from the background in the first one.

the drinking games wouldnt be nearly as bad if it wasnt for all the annoying shame in between games.   Just let me grind the game..  instead is 20 seconds of you passing out,   another 15 seconds before you can move when you wake up,  then you need to get back to the game.   Then throw in phone calls and media reports that you cant stop/skip that prevent you from playing the mini game till they are done,   plus pedestrians calling the police just for standing there....   you spend just as much time in between than you do actually playing the mini game

Yep and I fail so much as well. I just played for over half an hour and didn't pass a single level. I went onto the ubi forums to see if anyone else was finding it super hard and it turns out the thread complaining about it the drinking games is Watch Dogs' biggest thread.  I seriously might just give up on this cause I just can't do it.

ive been told it is possible to do,  but only with 2 people holding the controller,   1 for left 1 for right.   if your stuck at a certain stage in a level,  it works out to 20 seconds of practive for every 6 minutes playing, with all the bs in between and having to redo the first 4-5 steps on a level.   and ive had to turn volume off because im sick of listening to the same dumb baby in the background telling her friend about a time he got wasted,  or her needing a new car.  it seems to be the only shame she can talk about.. i want to kill her but if i do well.. then i cant play the game.

This is the first time i can remember playing such a large open world game game where it actively tries to piss you off.  it tries to prevent you from doing what you want to do, and shove shame in your face that it wants you to do...   it completely misses what the whole point of this genre is.   i have killed myself 100+ times because its the fastest way to get back to doing what you wanna do.

Lol yeah those convos get annoying super quick. I might spend a little bit of time trying every now and then but they're so much harder than the rest of the game. Why they make a minigame so hard and time consuming for a bronze trophy is beyond me. Seeing as loads of people are complaining I hope they will change it in some way but tbh I bet they won't.

Played Battlefield: Hardline beta...

It is not running in 1080p
BF4 looks better
The movements are slow even compared with BF4
It is a little confusing for starters (maybe because it is the beta)
It is Battlefield so boring

Everything else is fine... cool game for these that like these kind... even so it have potential but for now it is not delivering the Hiest.

@etho: how big are the maps?

It is compact... way small than BF4 maps but it is only 32 players too.

Don't get that wrong... the maps works and are really good... just small due the goal of the game... it is policies vs. bad guys (lol) catch so you will be always focused in the stole package and not disperse in the map... there are cars and motorcycles too but it is more used to go from re-spawn point to the middle of the battle.

I'm a bit disappointed in BFH and understand why some people referred to it as what should have just been DLC... destruction seems nerfed a lot in this game, and it mostly feels like new game modes not necessarily a new game... then again I don't buy COD every year because its always the same more or less with a few tweaks...

Meanwhile Destiny Alpha is a solid gaming experience I can't wait to see more of that game!

Theres 2 locations that do that, one is much easier than the other. Up to you then I guess.

@fish:   im really getting addicted to it,  last night i unlocked my first level 2 plane.. but then it threw me straight in with level 2 guys and i got my dog handed to me.  so im not using it until i have a few more that level so i stand a chance

it took me about an hour to do 6, once I worked out how I could do the one where you have to get them both in the really small circle, it was pretty easy. And the levels after that are super easy, so do level 6 and you've practically done it.

Yeah it sucks, what I did was just focus on L and then used my peripheral vision to move R, like I do when they are in separate circles, and  it worked straight away. When they become two ?s it is much easier still because they move much less randomly.

Once you work out what to do you have loads of time with the buttons. I try and leave the ones that create new buttons to press as long as I can. Try and spot for patterns as well.

I tried to get the last PSN save and it was old (19 days ago)... so I just back to what I was two weeks ago.

It was weird because Trine 2 was one of the saves my PS4 is not uploading to Cloud every day... all others saves are up to date.

Congrats etho! How long did it take you (without the lost save)?

I guess some 15 hours... I'm just estimating because my second play after the save crashed was really faster (because I know what to do and where is the location for all secrets until the level 12... there are 20 levels.

Mainly playing Super Mario 3D Land right now.

I'm on Special World 3. Fantastic game, way better than the boring/stale NSMB series.

I plan to finish Bravely Default after I finish up SM3DL.

Pokemon Emerald - I'm still rendering videos - I've got like 15 clips to edit - I'm at the 4th gym so far.

Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY - I'm heading Arkham North :O



I'm also waiting for my order of Uncharted Dual Pack + DMC HD collection. Will be the first time I will have owned a Naughty Dog Game! (let alone play it :P)

im really getting tired of war thunder and its bs..  wish i never put in the 15 bucks.  im sick of peppering a plane with shots for 4 minutes only to have him turn around, hit me 3 times and i explode like a bomb.   im starting to think premium members got 500% extra damage, either that or they have delibrately gimped british planes.  for some messed up reason the lancaster is a grade 4, when comparable aircraft for other countries are earlier (especially american) why no stirling? or halifax?.  and even at its max upgrade its completely gimped compared to real world specs.  Every place you turn they are trying to get you to spend more and more money to basically pay to win,  you need to pay if you want to use your main aircraft more then once every 20 minutes,  by the 3rd rank it costs a shame load to upgrade or takes forever,  and they havent bothered to scale anything.  the bases and units are the same as the beginning so now bombers destoy a base in 1 hit,   its great if you manage to get to be the first to a base which is 1/6 games,  usually though someone magically spawns 2km further ahead then you so they are all gone by the time you get there.  and the pay to win air crafts that are completly imbalanced and ruin things.


my final review of war thunder: 6/10

is it destiny time yet?  i want a real game

Just recently finished Bioshock 2 fun game great, addictive gameplay. I didn't care for the story though, but to my biggest surprise the multiplayer is very fun. Its layout is very identical to that of uncharted 2. Now im kind of sad that infinite didn't include mp. It could of evolve into something epic :(

DD, that sucks about Warthunder. I didn't get to spend as much time with the game as you did because my Internet robs me at gun point monthly. I really like it for the time I spent with it . Sounds like free to play is really holding the game back from being great.

The best character is Delsin's brother.

that's not cheating... its patched on the PC to be able to change your stuff around when restarting the game... normally you start off with a kinetic damage move that can destroy the walls, but I was using only passive DoT's that do no damage to the walls... you are not supposed to be stuck there :P

Yet playing Strider... finished it on hard (I always try to play games on the hardest difficult) and got over 80% of the trophies... so it is a easy Platinum because most trophies are story related and collectives (the map show all collectives... so impossible to miss).
I just need to speed run now in less than 4 hours... I'm playing on Normal (because there is a trophy for normal) and it is really easy... played 37 minutes and already killed four bosses... it is really that easy.

I had some weird error while playing diablo, In the middle of play it cut back to the dash board and told me the application couldn't be played, after trying to reenter the game 10 times and getting the same error I tried to eject the disk. But it wouldn't, so im starting to have a slight panic attack now, thinking my ps4 was fried. I restarted and everything works now.. I'm still a bit scared.

I tried getting into that game but I just lost interest. Not sure why, it just didn't click for me


Yeah definitely not for everyone...but the mechanics and systems in the game is really good especially when you play longer.

In terms of just normal moment to moment action, it does not feel as good as a diablo or torchlight.

POE's strength lies in theorycrafting and coming up with new builds. The game is also always changing.

The expansion just dropped a couple of hours ago along with new leagues. This is a good time to give it another try, let me know if you want to play together :)

Title: Re: Say Anything About Your Current Playing Game...
Post by: Silverf0x on Aug 21, 2014, 11:47 AM
PC
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - Best played with friends, or not at all.
Shovel Knight - Easier than I expected, but fun.
Divinity: Original Sin - Probably my pick for GOTY so far.

3DS
Nothing. I've had my fill of Tomodachi Life, and it's a long wait for Smash Bros.

Wii
Xenoblade Chronicles - Astounding RPG. Once the sequel is out, I'm buying a Wii U for sure.

I've never played xenoblade... but that seems like a game I would have really liked to play. I actually sold of my Wii to get the PS Move set up since I thought Sony and 3rd party would have really supported it with Wii Like games in HD... was I ever wrong :P

- Increase round fail time by 20%. More time for player to finish.
- Increase button cycling time by 50%. More time between button switch.
- Increase player reticle radius by 25% in collect button mode. Allow easier button press succeeded on bad latency tv.
- Increase player reticle last frame velocity impact on this frame position (inertia friction) by 70%. The player reticle slow down faster when no input from player -> easier to stay on the spot targeted & More precise player control.
- Increase player input factor by 50%. More precise and more reactive player control.
- Reduce max force applied randomly to player reticle from 0.35 to 0.29. Less strong random impulse for drunk effect.
- Reduce moving target speed by 15%. Easier for player to time his button press on a target.


i played for 15 minutes last night...  i was in a bad mood cause after that i said fudge it and now im just gonna trade it in.     it certainly is easier, but they didnt change the crud with spawning 200meters away, and getting harrassed in between.   and you still gotta do all the crud in pawnee.  the later rounds are still really hard and because of how its set up you get 10 seconds to practice the thing your failing, about ever 5-6 minutes.   which im sure we can all agree is terrible and annoying game design.

I will not be preordering an ubisoft game for a long time.  ill be waiting until after it comes out to see how it is.

I've played it before. It has a few things going for it (highly customizable UI and control, plus a strange and obtuse conspiratorial plot), but the level design is nothing to write home about. GoldenEye is the better Wii FPS.

Started playing this two days ago and have to say plenty of action, naughtiness, and story all in one :O in the beginning lol. Havent really played that far into it to judge the game like other people have said that AC2 is better than Brotherhood. I'm in sequence 2 and been exploring Rome destroying borgia towers, claiming view points and renovating the shops.

The King of Fighters XIII Steam Edition (Steam/PC)
Started this 2 weeks ago or so? Loving the game so far - most favorite fighter on Steam right now (Sorry Skullgirls). Been playing Arcade mode the whole time unlocking gallery pictures and movies. I will do story mode later when I unlocked everything I can through Arcade.

That is my main issue with AC games... you need to repeat the same think dozen of times so it gets boring fast.

Actually aside from the annoying puzzles in the secret areas - I enjoy every other aspect in the game. The killing of roman captain of the guards and destroying the towers afterwards is quite refreshing :P.

I just finished Sequence 2 and am in Sequence 3. I noticed how they have more playtime outside of the Animus - wonder what I can do in the town later in the game :o.

Its OK so far.

Cant say much about the Story and the Characters themselves yet though since I'm only a hour into the game just mass exploring/grindin :P. Level 6 right now.

Voice acting is pretty cool - reminds me of Basch from FFXII which ironically for some reason first thing that came to mind when I saw the character in the beginning of the game (Dunbar or somethin, not Shulk I mean lol).

I like the equipment system where you can equip the crystals in the slots to make you better in stats.

Not a fan of the forced auto-attack for regular attack and the switching between the skill sets to do a skill that has a timer err.....its OK I guess.

I like how you can finish quests and dont have to go back to the NPC - having to go back to the NPC in Ni No Kuni pissed me off so this was good that they didnt do the same in Xenoblade.

Visuals look OK but they look a bit weird since I'm playing it on my HDTV. Character design looks weird....like Shulk looks ugly as hell lol.

Worst part of the experience so far is the camera controls.....I wish you could use the GCN controller for this game cause the fact I have to push one button just to change the camera with the d-pad is so annoying/tedious. I'm using the default controls so...if its possible to change the camera controls...plox explain how.

Oh and the music is glorious so far - I'll be getting the OST for this game for my Ipod once I beat the game :)

Post by: Shinobi-san on Sep 07, 2014, 10:48 AM
@BasilZero for me Brotherhood is the best AC game so far. They absolutely nailed the melee combat in that game. People say that its too easy...but imo all AC games have easy combat...at least in brotherhood the challenge is getting a super high kill streak and taking out entire groups of soldiers in one go. Which is more fitting of the story and the character. You are an assassin after all.

That's where the new AC games should be going, and not try and make the combat unnecessarily challenging which breaks the flow of the game and will probably ended up simply adding frustration rather than challenge.

@BasilZero for me Brotherhood is the best AC game so far. They absolutely nailed the melee combat in that game.

Agreed, I loved the combat of Brotherhood and Revelations. It just flowed so well and felt so good

I'm enjoying it so far. I'll get more into it later today when I get back from work.

Yesterday the only thing I played was Breath of Fire III and am on lv 8......pissed off that my main character got KO'd at the end of two boss battles in the prologue :(.

So I didnt get the exp T.T. Also dat prologue - I dont remember it being this long compared to when I first played the game years ago o.O - I'm already 3 hours into the game lol.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Steam/PC)
10 hours into the game - Finished Sequence 3 and right now into 4. So far I'm loving the combat and the overall gameplay - its pretty much like AC2 but with expanded mechanics and improved ones at it as well. Storyline wise its pretty good too.

Breath of Fire III (PSP)
5 hours into the game and I'm still playing as Kid Ryu :P - got Nina in my party and just left Wyndia - lv 11 as well which is pretty low I think. Game is a lot harder than BoF1 and 2.

Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii)
3 hours into the game - I'm lv 9 on Shulk - just got Fiora and been doing sidequests in Colony 9 - also saw that cutscene with the Monado lol - gameplay is OK in terms of battle gameplay, user interface and design is good but the clunky controls outside of battle/traveling reminds me of those b-rated animesque jRPGs on the PS1 lol - dat jumping for an example. Also the visuals look a bit distorted - probably cause I'm actually playing it on the Wii and its on my HDTV.

Final Fantasy IV Advance (GBA)
Havent played much of it since few days ago when I first started recording it. I'm still lv 11 and right before Kaipo and after getting Rydia/losing Kain.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Steam/PC)
13 hours into the game - I made it to sequence 5 - I'm loving the recruit-able assassins (for some reason I've only been able to recruit female ones , not that it matters, just ironic considering what ubi said about female assassins in Unity :P) - the story is shaping up to be quite fantastic although II's story is still fascinates me especially the 2nd part of II. Although gameplay frankly is superior in Brotherhood and I like the way where its going.

Breath of Fire III (PSP)
10 hours into the game - I made it to the town of Rhapala - I remember this part, this is the part right before the time skip. I'm still child ryu and its amazing how much had happened while Ryu is a child o.O. Anyways, gameplay wise I dont like what they did with the dragon system - well for me at least I've had bad luck with the dragon system lol. The use of masters + learnable monster skills is awesome though and has helped me a lot. I miss having 4 characters in the party - dang you Squaresoft for making "3" party members the norm for most rpgs nowadays :(.

Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii)
8 hours into the game - I made it to the bionis leg. I admit the storyline and gameplay is growing onto me - loving the music especially during battles. Character interaction and the sidequests are well done. Although the camera controls are still horrible. I'm loving how you can instantly teleport to a certain landmark rather than having to tediously walk back to a location.

Final Fantasy IV Advance (GBA)
About 4 hours into the game so far - I've progressed quite a lot - I'm actually in Mysidia about to start the Paladin Mt Ordeals test for those who know what I am talking about :). One thing I have to say though, this might actually be the worst version (yes even worse than horribad looking FFIV DS D:) - due to the fact that there is lag and delays during the animation and attacks - although I do admit I did know that there were bugs but I'm playing the European/PAL version and not the terrible North American version.

-----------------

Oooh ya since I forgot to post before I'll post what scores I give to games when I finished them ;o.....since I havent really been posting it - I'll post all the scores and games I've played since May :o.

Post by: BasilZero on Sep 22, 2014, 10:51 AM
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Steam/PC)
18 hours into the game - I made it to sequence 8 - game feels a lot shorter than AC2 o.O. Supposedly there's 9 Sequences. But I guess its longer if you do the much more larger amount of sidequests which I have done like 30%? xD. Loving the story + all the combat missions especially Da Vinci's Weapon missions *-* - I went from Sequence 5 to Sequence 8 in one playthrough though I do admit I did play like 5-6 hours yesterday :P.

Breath of Fire III (PSP)
12 hours into the game - Grinded my characters up to lv 10+ and updated them with latest equips.

Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii)
12 hours into the game - Still in Bionis Leg - Explored around a bit and got a new party member :3 - heading to Colony 6.

Final Fantasy IV Advance (GBA)
About 6 hours into the game or so. Cecil's a paladin and finished the light crystal saga portion of FFIV - about to go underground for the Dark Crystals :O.

Just finished AC Brotherhood - I did all the story missions + Cristina missions + Leonardo missions.

Checked out MP for a bit as well.

Only thing I didnt like was dat cliffhanger ending - one of the worst I've seen lol.

Anyways I enjoyed the game and have to say I'm starting to think Assassin's Creed may be my most favorite 7th gen franchise :P.

My score for Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Steam): 92 out of 100

In comparison to the rest of the series I played so far

Assassin's Creed (Steam): 84
Assassin's Creed II (Steam): 90

Title: Re: Say Anything About Your Current Playing Game...
Post by: BasilZero on Sep 26, 2014, 02:49 AM

How did you play that many games at the same time @Basil?


Well what I do is I'm recording Final Fantasy IV Advance - once I record enough footage - what I do is I play the PC game for a few hours (mainly 3-5 hours mostly on my off days from school + work) and then play Xenoblade/Breath of Fire III while I am rendering videos of my FFIV recordings. I swap between Xenoblade and Breath of Fire III every 5 hours that I play so both games have the same number of hours clocked.

Of course I could go days without playing anything like the last few days earlier in the week when I was busy with work and other stuffs (I just played AC Brotherhood in my little free time :o).



---

Btw I stopped playing Toki Tori 2+ - its not as good as the 1st one and meh got annoyed at the puzzles xD - so I gave up on it FOR NOW. Playing "The Walking Dead" for Steam :P

4 for upgrades: fully upgrade a legendary weapon, fully upgrade an exotic weapon, fully upgrade warlock subclass, fully upgrade hunter subclass...
I'm sure there is more I need as well like the crucible one which I'm trying to complete this weekend (or before the next refresh)

The Walking Dead (Steam/PC)
On Episode 4 with 8 hours clocked - Episodes 1 and 3 were good but 2 was amazing just like Season 2 of TWD Tv series - a lot of great character development.

Breath of Fire III (PSP)
Clocked with 15 hours at Lv 21 - and about to go to Mount Zublo, hated the last part...the light tower portion of the game so dang annoying. Showing signs of being my least favorite BoF game so far....cause of the dungeon design and the heavy grinding.

Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii)
Clocked with 16 hours at lv 26 - Just finished The Ether Mine in the bionis leg - got lost near the end but found my way - really good story progression and cutscenes. Gameplay is showing its horrendous side especially with the camera controls during battles especially - also dat auto attack l0l.

Final Fantasy IV Advance (GBA)
N/A - havent played it since last post.

Currently uploading Pokemon Emerald and Left 4 Dead 2.

Pretty well done game - I got lost a lot :x. lol

It was OK although I liked Quake a bit more ;p

I gave the game a 77 out of 100

Been playing some Dead Space, Bioshock Infinite and The Witcher 2. 
Dead Space: For some reason I can't beat the asteroid level.  I've looked for some help, but all I get is a good number of people complaining that it's the hardest thing in the game.  Tried playing it with Vsync on and off.  Off, I get 300 fps and for some reason the cursor moves really slow (at least it seems to).  On, I get 30 fps.  Overall, it just feels like the controls are slow and inaccurate.  Particularly slow. 

Bioshock Infinite, I'm loving.  Though I am starting to feel that the game is super repetitive and needs more variation. 

The Witcher 2, looks amazing and runs amazing.  I think I will like it a lot.  We will see.  :D

Post by: Raven on Nov 19, 2014, 05:30 PM
Playing WoW's new expansion, Warlords of Draenor. The leveling experience is the best they've ever done. Normally I groan about it but I've really enjoyed it. The pacing of the quests, their presentation, the finale of each zone's overall story... just a much better experience in general. It's like they took what made Jade Forest and Timeless Isle in Mists of Pandaria awesome and combined them for every zone. So far there has only been one zone out of the four I've done that left me feeling a little disappointed and not eager to level on another character but even that feels fine considering I've thoroughly enjoyed the other zones.

The new garrison feature is well done. I thought it would be a boring pain but I really enjoy it and from what I hear it becomes an even bigger part of the game once you've completed the leveling storylines and hit max level. The visuals have once more been improved. The character models are great, a lot of new spell effects that look amazing, and the environments are beautifully done. Every time I think Blizzard can't possibly make the game look any better, considering how old it is, they surprise me.

The only thing I'm concerned about right now is group content. Tried a 5-man dungeon called Bloodmaul Slag Mines while I was leveling early on and it was WAY too easy. I should note that it was a normal difficulty dungeon and the level range for people to queue for it was 90 to 95. That's a big level range for something that has to be doable at level 90 because people at 95 are a higher level than the enemies at that point and you can just walk through it like we did. I'll reserve judgement once I check out the higher level dungeons that require you to be 100 and how difficult all of them are on heroic difficulty.

Aside from the difficulty, I'm also a little concerned about total amount of end-game content as right now there are only 8 dungeons at launch which is the fewest any expansion has started with. This wouldn't concern me so much were it not for the fact that the previous expansion, Mists of Pandaria, launched with only 9 dungeons and never added any new ones in later patches like the expansions before it did. Considering the backlash Blizzard received over the last expansion for having too few dungeons, it would shock and disappoint me if they did it again.

Overall, very much enjoying it. I haven't been this eager to go home and play WoW since the early months of Cataclysm.

Was playing a bit of The Forest. Was pretty fun, but I found the whole constant attacks from cannibals part to be a little aggravating. Especially when anything that I tried to construct required like a half hour of just chopping down trees. It'll be interesting to see where the game go's in the next few updates though.

Dragon Age:  Just got to playing this one last night, i'm not really sure if i like it.

Titainfall: meh.. It's a shooter for noobs. the community is gone.

GTA5: I haven't started the ps4 version yet, but i've played it before and one of my tops games of last year.

LBP3: not really sure how i feel about this one at this point. It wan'ts to feel special.

League of Legends: I wan'ted to play this a bit tonight but the severs on down and i can't make an account. Should have done that yesterday. Might have gotten to play tonight if i did.

Race the sun: Fun game for short gaming periods. Could have been so much more though.

Binding of Issac:  Strange game, it's okay in short burst.

I beg to differ. The controls made it so it's very straight forward and keeping with the fast paced aspect of the Metroid series.

The lock-on in the Wii version is so stupid. It locks to the target, but you still have to aim. How retarded is that... -__-
It breaks the fast paced flow of the original version.

Yep - I'm enjoying it more than the first one because it has RPG elements. You gain exp and level up - along with that you can equip armors and weapons that increase your stats but also change your appearance.

The skill system uses a similar system that any other wRPG or MMO has - you got 2 skill trees you can go down (and of course you can reset it as well) to learn different attacks.

The dungeons include a lot of puzzle solving like Zelda and the battles are like God of War or Devil May Cry.

Also on PC its 60 FPS so its great ;)!

Here's a test video I made! Quality may look weird but thats cause of YouTube ;(

I think I will get it. Does the 60 fps hurt the "cinematic feel" though?

Make sure you get the storyline DLCs.

Not sure if you want one of the armor sets that come with a storyline DLC - you dont have to use it but man..it makes the game easy lol.

I think the series was on Sale last week :(

Maybe it'll go on sale again at humble store or somethin.

finally diving into gta online.    its pretty fun so far, although i havent done much besides armed robbery/murder with a fast getaway lol gonna be a long road to platinum

although so many small design decisions in how you get into things is stupid.  you cant set up your own session if you are already in an online game.   if you leave it idle and it boots you, when you come back itll just pop you into an online session instead of asking where to put you,  so if you dont want you be in a random session your forced to sit through the loading of the thing you didnt want, then more loading to get out, all before you can even start setting up what you want to do.

ugh why is it so hard toput a fudgy prompt asking what you want?  and why is it so hard to implement abort features for connecting to things
Title: Re: Say Anything About The Game You're Currently Playing...
Post by: DD_Bwest on May 04, 2015, 03:31 AM
yea early period over, so far online is terrible.   why has the ai taken a complete fudgy nose dive?   im driving around and a car swirves across 3 lanes onto the wrong side of the road (on a highway)  just to hit me.. like wtf? also im in a highspeed chase with the cops, and some random car decides to turn vigilante and was with the cops trying to crash me..  he wasnt another player though because there wasnt anyone in the game...     and im doing this mission where i have to repo a car that a guy is driving around.. apparently you can only kill him by shooting, there is NO other way to stop the car,  i had him roll 8 times off a cliff and land upsidedown,  he just flips over and drives away..   maybe i wouldnt mind if it actually put someone else into the job with me,  as i imagine is alot easier if the second person can shoot while the first guy drives..  idno it was retarded.  he wasnt even driving slow, he was driving at 100mph the entire time.

theres also no mission retry.. well there is, you just need to wait.  if you fudge up you have to do other stuff  and hope it comes up again soon.  you can also end up being in the city with no jobs on your phone and having to wait.  it doesnt take long, but the simple fact that you have to is dumb as shame.  (never mind, i found replay. but its based on everyone voting.. i still dont really like how the mission set up is though..)

Finished Arkham Origins. It was actually 13-14 hours just to go through the main story and a few side missions. Quite long. Enjoyed the story. Gameplay was also good and the boss battles fun.

Here you go.

 LTTP - Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn - NeoGAF (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1081555)

Quote
Oh man, this game. I now can officially dub this my favorite Fire Emblem game.
 I just barely finished the game. While very similar to Path of Radiance, there are a few key things that make this game better.
 The game had a lot of variety. There were tons of weapons, classes, items and everything. Though the level variety wasn't quite as good as PoR, it was still fantastic.
 The characters themselves are really quite amazing. The base conversations in particular are just a joy to watch. You get to see the leader come in and get to know every one of the characters, and you know them as well. It really strengthens my trust for the characters, and builds my desire to keep them alive more. The desire was so great that I never lost a single character.
 Character strength was also very good in this game. I myself took any character that stood out and placed them into my "Dream team" as it were. If a character wasn't fit to be in the dream team, they were out of every level. This didn't help the others get their MVP rank up, but it worked out in the end.
 As a testament of this, here are the rankings for my top 6 characters. RANK 6 - Shinon
Quote
(http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/7/71/Shinon_RD.png/revision/latest?cb=20121204110312)

 
Kills - 69
 Shinon as a character wasn't too spectacular. He has an overwhelming sense of superiority. In the end he grew on me heavily. Him being the same in PoR helped that. What he lacks in character, he makes up for with strength. And man is he strong. He had defense upwards of 35, speed upwards of 30, and strength upwards of 35. Once he promoted he was especially good because he could shoot anywhere from one to three spaces away.RANK 5 - Mia
Quote
(http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/3/37/Mia_%28FE10_Artwork%29.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20130616000800)

 
Kills - 79
 Mia's desire to become stronger by challenging anyone who fit the bill was a good part of her character. If you paired her up with Ike for support, not only were the two unstoppable on the field, they also had some nice support conversations. She was a speed demon through and through. Nothing could hit her, and the moment she counter-attacked was the moment the enemy died. RANK 4 - Sothe
Quote
(http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/3/3d/Sothe_%28FE10_Artwork%29.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/280?cb=20130615232757)

 
Kills - 90
 Sothe went from being a weak kid in PoR, to being an awesome rogue in RD. Throw him next to Micaiah and you've got yourself an awesome couple. His introduction in the first scene was amazing. He was also a speed demon through the first half of the game. By the time I got to the final level though, he wasn't quite pulling the weight everyone else was. RANK 3 - Tibarn
Quote
(http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/6/68/Ferd-tibarn.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/350?cb=20080204083543)

 
Kills - 113
 Tibarn was an awesome character. Throughout PoR and RD you get an overwhelming sense that he is a good king, and a good friend. He has incredible strength and speed, but I can't help but feel that half of those kills came from a single level...RANK 2 - Titania
Quote
(http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/2/20/Titania.jpeg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/300?cb=20120628121751)

 
Kills - 165
 Titania, oh man Titania. She was absolutely OP in PoR, and once you get her speed up in this game, she is nothing short of amazing. Her kill count says it all. MVP - Ike
Quote
(http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/5/59/Ike_(FE10_Artwork).png/revision/latest?cb=20130712073029)

 
Kills - 172
 Ike...What can I say about Ike? He's the best lord in the series(My second favorite, but best nonetheless).
 "In every battle that mattered in my life, I've always been the one left standing, no matter how slim my chances. This battle means more than any of the others, because it's for the life of every person that I've ever cared about. I will win this fight." - Ike.
 Need I even say more?
 The story itself was fantastic. Full of twists and turns at every corner. It kept me on the edge of my seat, Parts 3 and 4 especially. Seeing all these characters clash, and especially fighting the characters you were literally just controlling was quite the spectacle.
 The graphics are quite good, and the CGI cutscenes are nothing short of amazing. Especially after just coming off PoR's cutscenes, these are so amazingly beautiful that I can't even...(http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/0/06/Ike_and_Yune_in_the_final_battle.png/revision/20101125195222)
 All in all, this was an amazing game. No doubt about it.

Red Faction Guerilla is insane. Seriously I just got in some sort of huge mech vehicle that shoots rocket launchers and is super tanky. I just went around destroying shame. You can literally break everything in this game.

Man it really makes me want a next gen version of this, or at least something similar.

Post by: ethomaz on Jul 27, 2015, 12:38 PM

I think so :(

Bastion action/adventure controls are way better than Transistor strategy controls... Transistor looks like you are moving in a chess table and the actions has a delay to happen, it has very primitive controls to be fair.
The opposite happens in Bastion... the controls are fast and responsible and you are more free to do what you want.

It is not only controls... the world and lore of Bastion are better in my opinion (I know I couldn't play Transistor enough... so that part Transistor can be better in the end).

For now I'm liking way way way more Bastion than Transistor.

$4 Bastion >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Free Transistor

Post by: Dr. Pezus on Jul 27, 2015, 04:30 PM
That's because transistor is an entirely different game. It's not an action game, it's more tactical. I like that more. Bastion got quite boring to me and repetitive

I've been chipping away at my backlog.

Limbo: was kinda fun and boring at the same time.
Swapper: was pretty great. Suprised me. Not without fault, but still a fun little indie game. Great atmosphere and graphics. Ending was poor.

Apotheon: sucked. Played a half hour before dropping it.

Entwined: lame and not my type of game. Played a level and then deleted it.

MGSV GZ: great game, awesome. My first metal gear I've finished. Has me hyped for phantom pain.

Haven't played limbo or swapper. Apotheon was really great, I thought, and its one of my ps4 plats. Agree with entwined, I gave it two levels but it didn't capture me at all. I tried ground zeroes but I don't like stealth games and this didn't change here.

I meant a chore in the sense of just walking around the semi open world killing random people and collecting loot, in order to get to objective markers. If the game was linear, I probably would have liked it a lot more.

Also day two of backlog cleansing.

Hohokam is flipping confusing. Not in a fun sense. You just kinda do stuff, and it's hard to tell if you've finished doing the stuff or not. I felt lost through the entire game. Random places with random portals to other random places. I don't need all games to have objectives or "mission accomplished" badges, but strangely this game felt like it was missing them.

Futuridium was ok. Not really my type of game but I kinda like it.

Race the sun was pretty good. I might boot it up again some time. The progression through an endless runner is pretty cool. Heck the entire game is pretty cool.

Rocket League is addicting. I finally understand what you guys were talking about. However after a few matches, I lost most of my interest. The unlocks feel meaningless and I have no reason to keep pushing for "just one more match," outside of the fun of playing a single match. It feels like there is also a very large skill gap between where I am and where the next level is. I don't feel the ambition to push up to that, although that's mostly just do to my little free time. Give the game a solid 7.

Tried it I think 2/3 months ago now, it's interesting.  But I don't really know what's going on.  Don't think there was really any way to see how much progress was going on.

Rocket League becomes about 10x more fun when you're playing it with a group of friends, that's where it really excels. Its still super fun anyway :D

Google searched it. It's common. However, I uninstalled and reinstalled. Other people said it didn't work for them. Worked for me but took hours upon hours. Maybe from software patched it. But when I loaded my game I spawned in front of some people. They were easy but took some life out.

I decided to play Grand Theft Auto V for the first time this Christmas. This is the first Grand Theft Auto game that I've played since Vice City back on the PlayStation 2. I'm not really used to Grand Theft Auto games and so my first impressions weren't exactly the best as I found the controls to be very clunky and the money system in game to be poorly thought out. I was at a point very early in the game where I had no money as Michael but needed to buy a gun in order to complete a mission (Shooting open a security van door) and found that I couldn't generate cash through any actual means (other than killing people and taking their money :P).

Anyway, I decided to continue on with the game and gradually realised that I was still very much in a tutorial and everything would unlock gradually for me. I guess I'm used to games giving me everything at once and I'm the type of player who likes to build up their inventory or cash before actually moving on in the story. I've now completed the first heist mission and done at least 50% of the game and I have to say that I am loving it. Yes the controls are still a bit clunky but I've pretty much unlocked everything at this point and learnt how the money system works and I'm really enjoying the overall gameplay, the vibe of the city and the variety of story and side missions on offer. I often find myself driving around the city just to listen to the OST or playing some random activity like golf or tennis.

I'm now at the point where Michael and Trevor kidnapped that dudes wife and just robbed a bank and I can't wait to go back and continue playing. All in all I'd say it's one of the best games I've played this year and I haven't even finished it. I don't think it's a perfect game, mainly due to some of the mechanics of the game, but it's certainly up there on my favourites list.

The Order 1886

Like The Witcher 3 the gameplay breaks everything what the game has good.

shame how it is supposed to make a tps with so bad shooting mechanics... it is like shooting with toys instead guns... the recoil, the hit, the precision, etc... all terrible.

Sometimes I wish to stop to play it but I will at least finish the campaign.

So I'm getting close to the end of AC Syndicate now and I must say its really good, an improvement over Unity in almost every way.

The story is great and I can't wait to find out what happens at the end. The Frye twins are very likeable and I love the chemistry between them. Combat and movement seem a lot smoother than normal, I no longer get annoyed that my character is doing things I didn't want them to. There's plenty to do in the world and some of the missions are really good. Especially the new assassination missions, they really nailed those.

If you've ever liked an AC game in the past I'd recommend you pick it up.
Title: Re: Say Anything About The Game You're Currently Playing...
Post by: Xevross on Feb 04, 2016, 11:08 PM
I finished Syndicate, really good game. Last mission was excellent although the run up to it was a bit boring. Very solid AC game, much better than unity but not quite as good as the Ezio games and Black Flag. Probably an 8/10 from me.


Also I picked up Telltale GoT since episode 1 was free and I'm really enjoying it. It's the first time I've played a telltale game and I think it's pretty good, I'm a big GoT fan so I think I enjoy more than I would any other telltale game but I must say that I'm enjoying the gameplay (or lack of) much more than I thought I would.

Might try tales of the Borderlands after this.

Finished the witcher 3.

Solid B from me. Lots of potential with great world building and environments, but it failed in a lot of other areas imo. Combat was good but didn't mesh with traversal. Game badly needed a way to exit combat stance. I died a fair amount of times from getting stuck on geometry I should have been able to jump over, and moving around enemies was clunky at a distance. Also slightly annoying when running to an objective and having random enemies slow you down.

Writing was pretty nice but the on screen choices a bit too often were misleading. I restarted the game about 5 times because Geralt said something completely opposite to how I was role playing him. One time it was pretty odd where late game an entire conversation had zero choices and Geralt was stuck saying things I didn't feel he should say. On the topic of choice, the majority of the time it felt shallow. Was really obvious when NPC responses could cover both dialogue options. Even had one point where an NPC said "what, you hadn't heard?" in a dark and said tone, only to follow it with "she lived happily ever after." Maybe since I'm a dev I payed more attention to this stuff then I should, but it really hampered my experience.

Was happy with the outcomes of my choices at least. Out of all the avoidable deaths, not a single one of my friends died. Ending felt a bit off but it was nice and matched my play style. However I looked online and was just one dialogue choice away from much worse endings. Don't agree with how CD determines the endings since I feel I lucked into a good one.

Liked the enemy designs and loved the more human monsters.

Side quests became really repetitive late into the game. It kinda ruined the magic and reminded me it was a game.

I did platinued in one run if I remember correctly.

I don't use vita Chambers even when I played for fun... I don't like this feature.

Clocked about 24 hours in Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, so far. The mechanics are a lot more nuanced than Pokemon. Not only are there elemental weaknesses, but also a Data/Vaccine/Virus weakness system. Evolution is non-linear and two-way. At times, it's actually beneficial to de-Digivolve for various reasons: increasing level cap, inheriting new abilities, etc. I also like how Hard difficulty poses a reasonable challenge, though sometimes the difficulty spikes up a bit too much. I'm out of Revival Capsules and not at the point to be able to purchase them, so hopefully, my Digimon won't get KO'ed in future boss battles.

Depends what you like really. I am not sure how much it is now in the UK. I have put nearly 20 hours into and it is good fun. The game improves so much when you get new characters as I could see it getting repetitive if you had like 6 characters, luckily there is like 12 I think. It is a musou game but it has an RPG under current with plenty of levelling up and upgrades. It has decent variety of levels from forests to caves and the voice acting for the most part is good. My biggest problem is that it can feel a limited game in this day and age, it could benefit from a deeper combat system and interaction with the levels. But if you can pick it up for like £15/£20 I think it would be worth it.

----------------------

Also played Ratchet and Clank. Best game of 2016 so far.

Finished

Uncharted Collection

Currently Playing

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth (>50%, 33 hours)
Tearaway Unfolded (Just started)
Gravity Rush Remastered (10%)

Thoughts

Definitely think UC2 is better than UC3. Talbot isn't as menacing of a villain as Lazaravic and there wasn't much of a final boss. The walking in the desert sequence was dragged out too long, as well.

On hard difficulty, some of Digimon's bosses are nearly broken. Frustrations and multiple attempts aside, figuring out creative ways to beat them while is fun.

Tearaway looks great on the PS4 and Gravity Rush is a lot of fun. It definitely controls better than on the Vita, though the camera is a bit iffy.

Just beat Gravity Rush Remastered. Story was solid, but a tad short. Music was great and the gameplay was fun. My biggest complaint, however, is the camera. I feel that it's one step behind the action. Hopefully, it is snappier in the second game.

What's left in my PS4 library are Digimon and Tearaway Unfolded. I'm thinking about purchasing Odin Sphere for my next game once I finish either one.

Talos Principle so far is great.

Some puzzles have been pretty good, but I'm mostly loving it due to the lore. I think I have a pretty good understanding of what's going on, and I'm close to the end relatively. Played 14 hours so far.
Title: Re: Say Anything About The Game You're Currently Playing...
Post by: Legend on Jun 28, 2016, 04:54 AM
Finished Talos. 9/10 or around that.

Ended with 113 sigils and enjoyed most of the puzzles. Was a really really great game, but the average ending robbed it of a perfect score. My understanding of the lore from yesterday was spot on which kinda made these last 6 hours drag on. No new mysteries and no new details. Just confirmation.

Spoiler for Hidden:
Loved the doomsday messages though. I actually felt sad reading some and it&#39;s definitely changed my state of mind, at least for the next few days.

As far as 2D games go, play Zero Mission, AM2R, a replay of Super Metroid(for good measure) then Fusion. The story is pretty continuous through the mainline games. Were it not for the remakes though I would just recommend playing Super and Fusion because Super brings you up to speed on the things you absolutely need to know at the time.

Call of Juarez bound in blood.  

SAVE FILE fudgy CORRUPTED.  

Wouldn't let me download the backed up file off the online storage either so I had to restart.  flew through the first 5 missions while listening to thr MMA hour podcast.  Skipping thr cutscenes help.  Another 3 missions and I'll be back to where I was.  Pain in the dog though.

Spec ops the line.  

Bought for $3 on sale.  Playing the campaign on easy.  Currently on chapter 8/15.

The game is really fun.  It's not too serious but the story and gameplay is fun.  

Reminds me of battlefield hardline a bit.  Well worth buying it for a cheap price.

Finished life is strange. Loved most of it but the ending sucked. Think worse than Mass Effect 3's ending.

In my head cannon the real ending is:

Spoiler for life is strange ending spoiler:
When back in time warning Chloe who the real killer is, Max also tells Chloe the tornado is coming. They get the killer arrested and use that publicity to warn/evacuate the town.

Yeah I quite liked it.  I agree with the clue finding.  I felt it got boring sometimes.  The interrogations were awesome for me.  I wish the studio didn't have horrible working conditions cause we likely would have had a sequel by now.

If there was a sequel I'd like them to flesh out the clue finding to be more thoughtful. Make it so you have to reconstruct what happened from the clues. Obviously that means you can completely screw the pooch with the investigation, but hey, that's what happens with bad detective work. Make it so you have to weed out what you think is relevant or not and again, bad detective work can result in bad evidence (either contaminated or misleading)... Stuff like that

Got it for $5 on a psn sale last year. It's one of the last games on my ps3 backlog list.  Kept it near the end to motivate me to get through the many others I've played.  a reward as such.  

When I finish yakuza 4 I'll move onto RDR.  After that it's only Jak 3, Yakuza 5 left. Unless ps plus adds something else I'd like.

I still have my GOTY copy on PS3 - I should play that since I dont expect R* to do a proper remaster on RDR, maybe a straight re-release port on PSN similar to XBO b/c with X360 ver.

Like they heavily hinted that Nathan and his family knew the storm was coming. &nbsp;The entire thing was pretty empty too. &nbsp;I mean, you spend the entire game trying to save Chloe, and the real ending is to let her die. &nbsp;Yes it&#39;s bitter sweet, but shame I didn&#39;t go through 10 hours of gameplay plus watching my friend do an alternate playthrough, just to let her die.

I hope you enjoy ToS more than I did.

I dont know why but for some reason I had weird slow downs when I played the game on my gamecube (it happened like about 4-5 times during battle where my characters slowed down but the enemies were normal speed - and this was no status effect or anything).


Since you are playing the PS3 ver (saw you earlier playing it :p) - you'll have the best ver (bar not having 60 FPS) but all the PS2 ver' content.

I'mma buy the Steam/PC version which is pretty much a port of the PS3 ver. Just wish the sequel was on Steam/PC too :(!

Also your backlog is nothing compared to mine

That's pretty bold. You think critics will rate Zelda highly just because it's Zelda?

I was honestly thinking before but I never typed it here, but it kinda irks me that, while great, Horizon is going to end with a high 80 metacritic while Zelda will be getting a close to perfect scores just for being Zelda.  Same thing happened with Mario Galaxy 2, despite the core gameplay being way dated with a fresh coat of paint, it's the highest rated game last gen.

Playing yakuza 4.

On Part 4: Chapter 4.,game almost complete. I'll finish it next playthrough.  Story coming together.  Really enjoying it.  Can't wait to finish it up.

Currently playing the new Ratchet & Clank and I'm really enjoying it! Some of the areas really bring me back to the good old PS2 days when I used to play this game, but there's also so much new places in this game that I've never seen before (Or at least I think I haven't) which is making it really fun to go through the game.

I know this game did really well commercially and critically so I hope they do a full fledged Ratchet & Clank game next (Not a remaster/remake but a brand new story)

I made a horribly ugly person in Elite Dangerous.

I also am playing Zelda. It's really great but it's also odd playing it right after Horizon. It highlights the good and bad of both games. Yet to kill a guardian. Don't really like weapon degradation in combination with the lack of no experience points. I realised it's counterproductive to fight enemies unless they have better weapons or super valuable loot.

I finished Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Some good parts and some stupid parts. I found the ending really disappointing. It just happened so fast and didn't have anything happen. Game really really set itself up for a sequel.

Spoiler for Hidden:
Also I was disappointed the divine source wasn&#39;t related to God. When the game first started setting up the plot, I was thinking it was really cool and unique compared to other adventure games. Then they end up making the divine source less interesting and way more generic.

I'm using the wizard. Don't know if anyone here knows that class in diablo but that stream of arcane/fire thingie (usually used by pressing R2 if you have it) is so so OP. It hits multiple enemies (and goes through them) with a constant stream of like 15-25k in damage probably a few times per second. Most enemies seem to have around 20-40k HP where I am now so this just immediately kills most. This is while playing in extremely hard mode lulz

The Bridge (2013) for PC Reviews - Metacritic (https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/the-bridge-2013)

Played The Bridge.

Wasn't too great, but I did start to enjoy the puzzles towards the end. Was very very similar to Braid. Bad ending and pacing. I thought I had beat the game and could now do optional mirror versions of the puzzles, but that was still the main game. So then once I finished those mirror puzzles and it repeated itself I was expecting a third act, but that time it was actually the end.

TLoU - amazing game but i can hardly stand playing it right now.   life is soo stressful as is this game isn't helping.  and the "pandemic" theme hits a little to close to home.  i picked the wrong time to play this.  but still, really good when i can stand to play it.

Divinity orignal sin 2 - amazing game.  i can't wait for their next game.  i'm playing it co-op with a friend.  my only complaint is soo much of the story is easily missed because my friend is in a dialog i'm not listening to.   

Lego marvel super heros 2 - i'm been playing a lot of lego games with my son.  the first couple were okay at best  but this one really is waaay better than the last few I played.   almost good enough to recommend to an adult without kids.

Everybody's golf - i like it a lot.  it's relaxing/happy feel is really a good thing for me right now.  and it's gameplay and visuals and general polish is a big step up from the last entry.

Plants vs zombies heros - i love it.  been playing for over a year now.  almost have collected every card in the game.

Heaven's Vault is surprising. Very simple game yet has some depth I wasn't expecting. Not a huge fan of the "second phase" with the conlang. It really has nothing to do with the language and is just randomly guessing which shapes will trigger progress.

yeah. I really liked that too.  I didn't realize it was stop motion but now that you say it it makes sense. 

I'm not far enough to judge the story.  excelant writing is essential in this kind of game but so far I've felt like it was more the acting than the writing.  I'm at most 2 hours into the game and I feel like I can't be any more than half way though. 

as I play I can't help but think quantic dream could perfect this style to great affect.

<br>Graphics: this is a major step up from the previous games. &nbsp;The worlds are much much bigger and better looking than the previous games. &nbsp;<br>More impressive to me though is that the art style works so much better. &nbsp;KH2 felt a bit more jarring with the real life worlds. This game does it so much better. &nbsp;<br><br>Music: for whatever reason I feel like the music is less present in this game than the previous ones. <br><br>The first two games were so wonderful starting up the menu with this song. &nbsp;And this game just hasn&#39;t reached that for me. &nbsp;<br><br><div style="text-align:center;margin:auto;padding:5px;max-width:560px;"><div style="position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;padding-top:0px;height:0;overflow:hidden;" class="youtube Jk4P10nsq4c"> <iframe style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jk4P10nsq4c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></div><br><br>Overall story: it feels a little lacking. A lot of the story just seems to be revolving around what players like me missed or forgotten and it feels a bit strange. It just gives a strange tone. <br><br>World stories: a step up from KH2, a step down from KH1. <br>The stories are a lot like KH2 in that they are more like retreads of the same story from the movie, with a few exceptions. &nbsp;But it&#39;s done better here. In the second game there were instances where they put in famous lines of dialogue from the movie and it was fine very poorly. &nbsp;They were just thrown in without context and the dialogue didn&#39;t even make sense. &nbsp;<br><br>I still feel it&#39;s a step down from KH1. &nbsp;<br><br><br>Gameplay: <br>This game introduces so many more mechanics than the previous games. Some of them are great, some arent. On the whole I feel good about this game. &nbsp;But for a while it was really putting me off of the game. &nbsp;<br><br><br><br>Conclusion:<br>On the whole, in some ways it&#39;s probably the best KH game, some ways it&#39;s probably the worst. &nbsp;Overall though I still prefer the first two games. &nbsp;But I can understand why someone might find this to be their favorite. <br>

I finished Heaven's Vault. Liked it a fair bit more than I expected.

Looked it up online though and oh boy. At least from the one presentation I saw, the developers really had no idea what they were doing with the language. It's not an English relex, but it's pretty close. The language is almost a satirical example of bad conlanging yet it actually felt pretty great while playing.

Story and some other things were the same way. After looking it up with all the different paths and options, it's significantly worse than I realized. Enjoyed it while playing though so I'm not sure how to feel about it.

More impressive to me though is that the art style works so much better.  KH2 felt a bit more jarring with the real life worlds. This game does it so much better.  

Music: for whatever reason I feel like the music is less present in this game than the previous ones.

The first two games were so wonderful starting up the menu with this song.  And this game just hasn't reached that for me.  



Overall story: it feels a little lacking. A lot of the story just seems to be revolving around what players like me missed or forgotten and it feels a bit strange. It just gives a strange tone.

World stories: a step up from KH2, a step down from KH1.
The stories are a lot like KH2 in that they are more like retreads of the same story from the movie, with a few exceptions.  But it's done better here. In the second game there were instances where they put in famous lines of dialogue from the movie and it was fine very poorly.  They were just thrown in without context and the dialogue didn't even make sense.  

I still feel it's a step down from KH1.  


Gameplay:
This game introduces so many more mechanics than the previous games. Some of them are great, some arent. On the whole I feel good about this game.  But for a while it was really putting me off of the game.  



Conclusion:
On the whole, in some ways it's probably the best KH game, some ways it's probably the worst.  Overall though I still prefer the first two games.  But I can understand why someone might find this to be their favorite.



Spoiler for Hidden:
<br><br>Firelord just put in the final word. :o<br><br>


It is done.


I think ill give it an 8.5/10.

A lot better than I felt in the start. A bit of a step down for me from the previous games, but great nonetheless.

I'm turning off permadeath in Watch Dogs Legion.

My main person was killed in a shootout and it felt fair. I got greedy and deserved that. With my second best person I finished the mission but dinged a car on the way out and exploded. That death felt like GTA wacky physics and wasn't fun.


Other than that, the game is cool.

Watch Dogs Legion is seriously flawed but also really unique and cool. Playing as different people actually works really well. It feels like jumping into an already existing life. Every NPC really does have a full life including jobs and things outside the play zone.

Voice tech is pretty bad though. Everything is very monotone because of it.

This is the kind of stuff I heard about it, if you're into it it seems like a fun system but it replacing main playable characters seems like an overall loss rather than a gain for me.

I've got past halfway in Hyrule Warriors AoC now. I'm still loving it but I think only because its filling in lore and giving me story moments of my favourite game ever. Its a good game overall but has a lot of problems, I think the problems are pretty much standard Musou genre stuff though. Some problems to do with Switch's low power and the game looking ugly as sin at times.

I also started Sackboy. Its fun and is very well polished but there's nothing particularly amazing about it. Its funny how Nintendo is just on another level with platformers, still after all this time. Though, they don't put many of them out.

I haven't even been doing quests. Just running around the world exploring and recruiting.

If you want Watch Dogs 3, then yeah it's a huge downgrade. As its own thing though it's much better. The jank is problematic but was worth the tradeoff imo.

I had been swapping back and forth between Cuphead and Hollow Knight for the first hour or so. 

I don't think I will do that anymore though. 

Cuphead is good.  But I feel like most of the length and enjoyment of the game comes from it's difficulty.  How long to beat has it at 10-20 hours.  Based on the successful attempts at levels and the progress that equated to, this would probably be like a 1-2 hour game otherwise. 
That's fine, plenty of great games that are like that. 
The game also does a great job of feeling fair so far. Probably will be a game I only finish once. 

Hollow Knight on the other hand, I am getting into. I'm getting Bloodborne 2D vibes. Just getting better and better as I'm going through. Been a while since I've felt so excited about a game.

I finished Journey to the Savage Planet.

Was pretty fun. Way more of a puzzle game than anything else. Combat was barely serviceable. Final fight was a boring joke, although I did die once because it forced me to stand on lava. Story was all over the place but I enjoyed parts of it.

Remove the shooting, improve the story or just gut half the "haha dystopias am I right?" jokes, and it could have been high 80's imo. I thought the length was perfect. I thought the science progression sucked. Don't make random crud like that a core progression system! "Kill 10 enemies with melee without taking damage" should be a surprise unlock or a trophy hunter goal, not a required step towards unlocking important things. I powered through some but eventually gave up and embraced I'd never do it.

I jumped into skyrim again as a distraction.

Series X load times are amazing. It's as if the world was seamless. Game itself feels pretty dated. I'm playing the special edition but I did not expect it to remind me of playing TES Blades on switch.

Console mods are cool but scary. You just have to hope everything works because there is no way to tweak things yourself. I have a cheat mod that lets me teleport into a cheat room as needed. Pretty funky solution since they couldn't make a ui.

Skyrim is really cool. First 10 hours you feel like you can do anything.

After that you feel like you can do nothing.


All the quests are so linear and don't really give you a chance to role play. I went into Riften wanting to clean the city up but nah, not in the cards. It felt like the devs teased me haha.


Makes me really excited about Forged Odyssey, but nervous that my first 10 hours won't be good enough. Skyrim is great at selling its world and the people in it. I can't compete with their dialogue.

I played it back at release but never made it that far. I focused on the main quest while this time I'm ignoring it.

Yeah I'm planning to take the dark brotherhood down! My character is an all powerful god that wants to make things better. I'm using a cheat sword that one hit kills everything, since Skyrim combat wasn't even that good at launch.

Also using a cheat potion that gives me infinite carry weight. I'm playing in 3rd person and looting is really tedious, so instead I just take everything from people I kill and sell the clothes+weapons.


Kinda thinking of doing a full marathon of Elder Scrolls. Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind, Daggerfall, and then Arena. I never finished Morrowind or Daggerfall either so it should be fun.

I saw on howlongtobeat that it was around 6 hours but 30 for everything. Well by the time I hit 20 hours, I pulled up a hint guide. lol sure enough I had been in the end game for a day or two and a super early puzzle I didn't like wasn't just an extra.


It's a really good game but I also had some big issues with it. I'm not one that cares about increasing numbers and the vast majority of levels just felt like work for the sake of work. Wish it introduced new things faster, but I do appreciate how thoroughly it explores the concept.

Persona 5 is way way too long. Its a fantastic game but man there's just so much of it and its been kind of the same structure without much new for a while now. The lack of autosaves and having to go back to your last safe room when you die adds to the annoyance.

Dying is normally quite avoidable but for whatever reason they decided that if Joker goes down then that's an insta-lose. Anyone else in your party you can revive or even let them stay down and finish the fight but Joker = loss. And Joker can randomly get one-hit like the rest of them. I mostly love the fast paced combat in P5, some JRPGs have fights last ages with lots of HP on the monster and your party's sides but P5 is very much you and the monster's hurt each other a lot and fights are very quick. You've gotta think about what you're doing and try to take down enemies swiftly without giving them much of a chance to hit you. Its real fun, but when Joker randomly dies in one go without you being able to do anything about it, and that causes you to have to reload at a safe room and lose almost an hour of progress, not fun.

I love P5 and want to finish it but I'm taking a break for a bit as its starting to annoy me.

So I started playing Pyre. Its quite fun but I'm not sure its super clicking with me, its a very weird unique game. The game inside and outside of the rites doesn't blend well, but each part in isolation is fun. The rites are complex but you can get by with just using the basic moves. We'll see, I only played 2 hours and I think its a really good game but its just not grabbing me, I don't feel so engaged.

Some fun game design facts about Jak and Daxter:

- as far as I recall there are no invisible walls that are accessible for the player.  If the player gets somewhere they aren't supposed to be, the game will eat them. (a shark eats them, after some warning music).  

- there are rooms in Jak 2 and 3 that are obviously secretly loading screens.

No.  Every map is designed so it's not necessary.

Jak 1: map is surrounded by cliffs and ocean
Jak 2: game takes place in a guarded city, surrounded by walls.
Jak 3: map is surrounded by ocean.

A slight correction later games no longer have the shark.  Jak 2 has an underwater security robot.  Jak 3 I believe has an octopus?  It's been a while since I've played that.

Hollow knight is awesome. I already have like 16 hours into it.

What I really dislike is the harder platforming sections, but thankfully they are far in between. Some bosses are difficult though

however the game feels like a 2D bloodborne. Which is something I honestly love

Jak feels like a very unique game.

Spoiler for images:
<br>(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8M1IcLXE7UM/hqdefault.jpg)<br>(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2d/6c/9f/2d6c9f7116626a841a7c38692d4c7c18.png)<br>

The big collectibles are relics from some forgotten civilization.  You trade most of the orbs on the top for the "power cells" on the bottom.
The world has a lot of these energies called ecos, each one gives a different power up. 

The first game starts off by a side character falling in to a dark eco pit, and transforms into a weasel. And much of the game is about getting past obstacles to find the guy who would be able to turn him back.

Spoiler for story ending spoilers:
<br>That guy ends up being bad.&nbsp; And you end up getting this foreshadowing that he might come back, but he never does.<br>


I don't know how to describe it, but the game has a fairly unique fantasy, yet kind of familiar world.

-----------------

Jak 2 is different.  Many of the elements in the first game are kept.  But it's a bit more like Mario and Grand Theft Auto met in the middle for a T rated game.

Still, there's some interesting story bits that come out of it.

Spoiler for beginning story spoiler:
<br>The game starts with Jak going to the future.<br><br>And he randomly gets tortured for 2 years.<br>


The world is interesting.  It's open world, but it's essentially made out of lots of linear channels. 
Even the outer world is.  you can often see where a future mission will occur, but it's not accessible. 

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>Some of the barriers are doors that will get opened later.&nbsp; One of them will get blown up.<br>

I did play superliminal though. Didn't think it was that good of a puzzle mechanic when the dev would post their progress, and they seem to have known that too. Super short and other mechanics were more common.

Enjoyed it in a meh way. Some elements were really clever. I think this is the first indie game I've played that I followed progress on so that was fun.

It's definitely one of the best games of 2017 and that was a really stacked year.

I think for me it's 4th behind BOTW, SMO and HZD but those 3 games are all in my top 10 of all time.

I finished Jak 1 a long time ago.  It was "good".  I don't regret the $29.99 I spent on it.  Or was it 19.99?  I can't remember.

Finished Toren last night.  Did it in a sitting.  It was a weird game.  Not sure how much I spent on it.  I think I rate it $10 cad dollars.  

Finished Remnants from the Ashes with my friends.  They put it down so I stopped playing it.  I liked it.  Not sure if I'd spend money on it, but it was ps+

Was thinking of picking up a JRPG to play.  I was thinking of Wild Arms.

Well it released on PS4 in 2018, so im not sure if I consider it a 2017 or 2018 game.

I think I like it more than horizon. Its fantastic, and it nails something important that horizon just doesn't, which is exploration.

So I went back to finish uncharted the lost legacy after finishing hollow knight. Hollow knight just sucked me in and I was too taken by it and didn't uncharted.

Anyways its a great game, specially the final third. It shows that uncharted is about epic set pieces the most. It definitely was great, but the story/twist at the end was rather stupid

Spoiler for Hidden:
All this time hunting for the tusk and then its just to buy a bomb? Really? With the money they spent hunting the tusk they could have gotten a bomb. It was rather dumb.

I played through Gears 4. It was very good, feels like classic video game. Just, fun video game. It's like the closest to a big budget blockbuster movie in video game form, just fun popcorn stuff. It's certainly nothing special, and at one point I realised it came out half a year after Uncharted 4 and I thought yeeesh. Gameplay feels very classic but bogstandard and repetitive, not much to break it up, just similar encounters over and over.

Anyway, I started Gears 5 and this feels like a huuuge step up so far, a massive leap for a direct sequel out only 3 years after. I'm interested to reach the controversial open sections, I'm expecting to not like them.

I binged Subnautica Below Zero.

Was good but not as good as the first. Many many things were improved but it managed to be even worse than the first one at guiding the player. I discovered almost every location on my own before the game wanted me to and that really screwed things up. The map was also a big downgrade over the first. Felt like there were fewer biomes and almost everything was just tunnels instead of massive caves like the first.

7/10

Well what makes it the most unique is that there are characters in the world that you can go talk to at anytime. The map has different districts, usually characters stay in their district but some move around.

You can talk to all these characters, and they can reveal information about each other. Sometimes you find pieces of information in other parts of the map. You can also kill any character you want for extra xp, and thats the fastest way to get xp. But your actions have consequences. Honestly they are all (well for the most part) very well written.

So the world really revolves around these characters as much as it does you, the main character. Im still playing it, so to what degree the consequences of my action affect the world is still not known to me. The whole structure of the game is different from your typical open world game. Its honestly refreshing and fun

I played The Forgotten City since it's leaving gamepass.

Really fun how much it felt like playing skyrim lol. It was a skyrim mod that was reimagined as a full game yet they perfectly recaptured the feel of skyrim's character controller. They even included functionality that makes no sense outside of skyrim, as far as I can tell.

Pretty fun but way too linear to be great. I also think it's fundamentally flawed by having a failure state that restarts the loop and a failure state that requires loading a save. Often I'd think I had unlocked knowledge, only to realize that progress wasn't saved because it was the wrong type of death.

Writing was mostly good with some meh mixed in, same with story.

Dyson Sphere Program is pretty interesting. Lots of cool ideas but also pretty slow and unfinished feeling (it's in early access)

I'm pretty lost with the tech tree. At this point I'm just selecting whatever and unlocking a whole bunch of stuff that I can't use till later. Like I unlocked a new feature for my dyson sphere, but I need to wait for a much later tech unlock that allows me to actually launch it and use it.

Played all 4 on The Room games and each felt unique. The first 2 were more about finding hidden switches and latches on containers (puzzle boxes) while the last 2 evolved into solving whole rooms rather than just boxes. It felt like each game improved with the series although you might be disappointed if you prefer the puzzle boxes but the dollhouse of the final game was the most rounded and most fun imo.

Also playing Gedonia because I felt like playing a simple old school RPG. Played a few hours and it's seems OK. Not played many RPGs so don't know how it compares but it's fun while also buggy.

Played a bit of Somerville. It's cool but the controls are a bit wonky and frustrating. I'll probably play again tomorrow, but I'm seriously considering waiting for a patch. The current setup makes me avoid exploration of any kind.
Title: Re: Say Anything About The Game You're Currently Playing...
Post by: Legend on Nov 16, 2022, 05:09 AM
I finished Somerville. Not very good but it had cool elements. The player controls were incredibly frustrating and ruin the gameplay. Your character is way too slow, gets stuck on random geometry, and fails to grab things a lot of times. It would have been better imo if there was a run button or if the character moved at a pace that fit the story.

Animation glitches and other bugs also wrecked my sense of immersion. Very hard to care about an emotional moment when people pop from pose to pose or shake violently. Near the end of the game the controller started vibrating and never stopped, even post credits back in the menu.

The story maybe had potential but wasn't executed well imo. The lack of voice acting was extremely distracting at times. There were 2 slow moments in the game that just had friendly "in the know" people stare at you, and there was one moment where a simple line of dialogue from the player character would have avoided a bunch of negative outcomes.

The visuals were pretty good and I liked a couple puzzles. Maybe a 4/10 on my scale. Made me appreciate Inside a lot more. I wish Inside actually had a deeper meaning to uncover, but its surface is very polished.

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>The player has a way to instantly kill bad guys if he shines a light on them and uses a power. Later in the game his wife has a flashlight and they are being chased by bad guys. They could have had a carefree day if he told her this or asked for the light.<br>


The frustrating gameplay made me not explore everything. I don't think I fully understood the story so maybe it had some meta commentary and the issues were all on purpose  :P

Post by: SWORDF1SH on Dec 09, 2022, 01:21 PM
Just finished playing 'The Painscreek Killings' and absolutely loved it... until the end. The ending isn't bad but also so dumb. So the whole premise of the game is that you freely investigate an abandoned town to find evidence in relation to the murders. Loved doing it and loved the puzzle element to it but towards the end you find evidence that blatantly tell you things that you already cleverly worked out yourself with other little clues. It felt like, what's the point of trying to work things out if the game eventually tells you what went on. It wasn't too bad until the very end. After spending 10+ hours investigating the town and piecing everything together yourself, the game actually shows you who the murderer is
Spoiler for Hidden:
coupled with a corny action scene where you are chased down by the murderer
. The conclusion could of been handled so much better.

The game also has a few twists which were cool but doesn't really work with an Pi sim. Some of the evidence you find is purposefully done to mislead you into thinking a certain direction but because the game spends a lot of time doing this it has to tell you that you were mislead and then go on to tell you exactly what happened instead of you working it out yourself.

The game is brilliant with the investigation part and also really good and slowly unravelling the story and even in 3/4 of the game it's amazing as a detective sim but the fact it just eventually tells you everything at the end, kind of ruins the fun of working it out yourself.

One last thing that probably annoyed me the most, the game was brilliant and creating suspense by using creepy moments sparingly like
Spoiler for Hidden:
the unoriginal but effective &quot;somebody turned off the power&quot; moment and also seeing the ghost of one of the murder victims.
My issue is that
Spoiler for Hidden:
seeing the ghost of a murder victim in the distance was pretty well done because I only noticed it once during the first 99% of the game and it was enough to put me on edge for the rest of the game but they then ruin that with the corny final action scene where the ghost keeps appearing to lead you the way out while the murderer chased you through a sewer system. I just really enjoyed the subtle use of the ghost (maybe appearing a few more times in random locations would of also been cool) and then they blow it at the end. It maybe could of worked but dang, it was implemented not that great.


But it is a great game with good story and good puzzles but annoying if you expect to work things it out yourself.

I would 100% recommend it. The puzzles and story are really good. Investigating is also rewarding to solve the puzzles and discover new locations. My main disappointed was not having to piece together who the murderer was myself although it could of been my reward to get the major clues for discovering deeper into the game. You can leave the game at any moment and use the clues you already got and getting deeper into the game requires a lot of poking around and puzzle solving. Maybe I'm being overcritical because I had just finished the game and was a little annoyed by it and the final action sequence because it's a really good game. In fact I'm looking for a very similar game to it but with no success lol

Started Resident Evil 3. Might get back to this one. Looks great. Gameplay I'm a little less sure about. Although I found out that I'm missing some things. I'm hoping that it'll be better getting back into it.

Started Resident Evil 5. I feel like I'm not going to play this. It plays really badly. You can't aim and move at the same time. Aiming by itself just feels bad. But the zombies being terrible might make this playable. But ugh I really don't get it.

Started Death Stranding. Very interesting game. Very different kind of game.

Started Ghost of Tsushima. Very good game as well. I like that the enemies are pretty quick to take down.

just finished two games quickly back to back:

the gardens between and the pedestrian.  

both were solid but not exceptional puzzle games.  "free" on extra so I would recommend to at least legend. 

gardens between was a bit simplistic of a mechanic but I did kind of like the game was reduced to just 2 buttons. 

the pedestrian had a ton of style.  my biggest complaint is the took the game in a cool direction for the final puzzle.  wish they made that section longer.

Playing Consortium. Probably the most "immersive" game out there since it refuses to even call itself a game. Acts like it is software that connects you to a time traveling satellite. Pretty interesting. It's as if Assassin's Creed used the Animus as the main menu and acted like work from home software.

Also fun to break the fake fourth wall sometimes. In game I can make comments about how I'm a time traveler or how I can't interact since their isn't a button prompt, and people get really confused.

Overall the game is pretty average though  :P

the pedestrian had a ton of style.  my biggest complaint is the took the game in a cool direction for the final puzzle.  wish they made that section longer.
I've played pedestrian. Thought I posted about it here but can't find it.

Enjoyed it too but didn't love it.

my current game is the artful escape.

it had wonderful reviews on steam but holy crud is this "game" terrible.    it's pretty but it not an exaggeration to say there is no gameplay.  all i do is walk from left to right while holding down square while shame bounces around in the background.   i feel like i'm back in college watching winamp.   

is that a dated reference?  anyone else spend hours watching a winamp vizulization?

Finished Consortium.

What a weird game. Near the end it just threw in so much random lore as if I'd understand what was going on. Way too much bland dialogue to play again and find the stuff I missed. I didn't even bother figuring out who the killer was.

finished omno.  

it was like zelda if you eliminated any combat.  just light 3rd person puzzle obstacles with light 3D platforming.   a relaxing look and soundtrack.   was pretty good.  only took ~5 hours to play though and i don't think i would have wanted it to last longer.  would need to add combat to make it varied enough for a longer game.   the power-ups were pretty satisfying though.  i dash and warp mechanical were particularly well done.

the first portal was a better puzzle game.  what i didn't like about the second portal game was they heavily restricted which surfaces you could put a portal on.   taking away those degrees of freedom guided the player to the answer which is probably a good thing for all those main-stream non-puzzle gamers.  ...but for me it made the solution far too obvious to the point it was all about execution and not about thinking things though.  in the first game you had to think and one of the fun things was seeing the "expected" solution and then finding another even crazier solution that also worked.   the sequel had very few puzzles that could be solved in any way other than the intended solution.   

...but the writing in the second game.   dear god was the writing amazing.   

so yeah, overall the sequel was better.

I enjoyed my time with it but too much of the difficulty came from trying to figure out what the game wanted vs playing detective. Last level tripped me up but I beat the game without any hints. Maybe I need to find a lets play to see how the hint system would have worked.

Total bummer that the game wasn't more open.

I think there were a few instances where I filled out a section by using what I know and working out the rest by reading writing and filling in what makes sense. Felt like cheating.
The game does feel like all the evidence is there though and i it was fun working it out but it did fell like the game peaked after the first few chapters and then went downhill. The puzzles seem to get lazy at times.

I spoke to soon about Portal 2. I thought I was as the end when I last posted but there's been 2 more chapters.

A new game mechanic as been introduced with the gels. Doesn&#39;t make the game harder but a nice change. Also seeing a different side to GLaDOS.

I want to love the game and I love a lot about it, but for now I'm really bummed that it's not the game I expected. It's much more of a point and click adventure game than an "immersive problem solving" game like Return of the Obra Dinn or Her Story. Great puzzles at least.

Dinn is on my wishlist waiting for a price cut. Played it on the PS and had a break from it but when I got back to it I completely forgot what was happening. So going to start again on PC. PC is just a better way to play.

Something really stupid. The device that you aim with to switch between what the giant wind turbine powers. I tried a few occasions to aim between different positions and I'm positive that it wasn't locked into one position before trying to move it.

it was a long game.  much longer than I thought it would be going in. 

but some of the puzzles are quite expansive and with multiple parts.   if you forget what you did on the first part you may have no chance at the fourth part.

I was the only thing I played and I played it for maybe 3 hours a night and it took me three weeks I think.  maybe four.   it was at least 40-60 hours for me.

Haha I pulled out my old notebook and I definitely didn't look anything up. I did prioritize puzzles over lore though so I missed a few story things.

Also for fun here's my post from 2016.

Finished the game. At the moment it feels like a solid 8. Lots of great things it does, but man does it love wasting your time.

It felt like I spent over an hour on one specific puzzle that was near trivial. The game should have a super run speed and should speed up loading. Man do I feel sorry for people who don't play on an SSD.

Game wasn't too hard, at least to get to an ending. I never noticed a backup save option so I have near zero drive to go back in and try different things, so I'll just go on youtube and see if there's anything significant I missed.


One specific moment stole the show for me and man did I love it. Wish more scenes built off it.

I've been jumping around with a bunch of games.  I haven't really felt completely grabbed by anything, so I've been jumping around when I hit a wall with something.

Have slightly mixed feelings on Returnal. So many things about the game are fantastic. The game is visually stunning, the story is interesting. Running around feels good. Maybe it's a mechanical thing that I missed, but it seems like there is an enormous amount of time between shooting. Seems like the guns take like dozens of seconds to recharge. It feels like the primary part of the game is just running around/running away from enemies, and occasionally shooting. Doesn't feel like a good balance to me, right now. I wish that the weapons were weaker with less recharge time.

Switching to Nioh, when I get a little discouraged by Returnal.
Weirdly feels like a PS2 game. But getting used to it, and I'm starting to get excited to play it.

currently i'm playing lost words:
https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP4735-CUSA13809_00-LOSTWORDSGAME000

it plays exactly what it was described to me.  it's actually pretty close the the artful escape that i just played.   very lite on gameplay and pretty much just walking from left to right.  somehow i like it better here since the theme of the game is "books".   the overuse of story over gameplay feels better since this is basically supposed to be a book that came alive more than a video game with a story.

still working on GoW.   i'm probably not even half way though.

There's definitely a roughness to it. But there is a lot that I love about it.  Thinking about it overall, I think I prefer Batman AA over Spider-man.

Yep.  

I even played Arkham Knight on PC at launch. Was a huge mess, but didn't stop me from enjoying it.  

Arkham City and Arkham Asylum I apparently listed as my #23 and #22 favorite games a few months ago. I think I would swap the rating now.

Actually here are some fun facts.

Was more of a passive fan of Batman before Arkham Asylum.

But it was my second PS3 game, after LittleBigPlanet, and just before Uncharted 2.  

When I originally got my PS3, got LittleBigPlanet first. And played a number of demos like Arkham Asylum, Uncharted 2, a few others. The AA demo convinced me to get the game. The Uncharted 2 demo might have set me back surprisingly. (For some reason wasn't able to figure out from the demo that I was expected to climb up a sign.)

The AA demo was very interesting after playing the game, because I found they seamlessly combined two different levels to make the demo.

A business week later finished the first game.

Deciding whether or not to go for more of the puzzles.

Some rough edges but still a great game.

Compared to Spiderman, I prefer the level design and world design. (not that they're great but swinging around tall buildings isn't my favorite thing)

Spiderman had a more meaningful ending and slightly better controls than the first Batman game. But I think almost everything else I prefer Batman AA over Spider-man. (except visuals)

I love the idea of portions of other planets being intwined with other and the game mechanics that stems from it and also the the type of puzzles it creates, but, some of the puzzles are very good but some are simple and tediously lengthy.

I hate Villein number system!!! &nbsp;&gt;:( &nbsp;Out of the four worlds you visit, one had this semi-openworldness to it, which isn&#39;t a problem in itself, but the short paths that stemmed off to nowhere were pointless and annoying just to try and give the illusion it&#39;s not as linear as it is that same world had those darn bridges. Another world had nothing to it. Just a path to one location and back out again.

Also no reward for exploring. It's not a must but I love it when games do reward you.

There are way more positives though. I like the story, 75% of the puzzle and the teleporting from one side of the map and to other worlds was neat. The transition effect while transport between world was oddly impressive. Overall, I loved spending time in this game even though at one point I spent 10 hours plus on working out something simple.

Also just finished The Pedestrian. The puzzles where well made. A lot of the puzzles felt initially a little bit "what-the-hell-do-I-do-here" but then working it out felt rewarding. Also a good balance of not to hard but hard enough without being frustrating.

I am fully on board with Hogwarts Legacy.  So addicting to explore. Almost 20 hours in and i think i'm only just over 1/3 through the story.

After i fully 100% Hogwarts, i'll jump back to Forspoken then Callisto Protocol

Finished Haven Moon. A fun little Myst-like puzzle game that heavily relies on being observant.
Only real complaint is the lack of visual/audio cues when you solve part of a puzzle. An example being when I get the generator to work, there are no sounds or sparks coming from the wires to indicate you've  completed that part of the puzzle. It sometimes leaves you wondering if you've done it right.
The puzzles doesn't really require a lot of thinking but more about keeping your eyes open for clues.
For a game made by one guy, it's really good.

So one of my great shames as a gamer: /s

is that I've never finished Horizon 1. I remember getting stuck on some boss battle, that I think was the last one in the game, and wasn't able to get out of it to do other things.

Tried a couple of other times to play through, but usually I get picked up by another game. I feel like it's an issue I've always had. I feel like I would rather play my favorite game 11 times, rather than play a game I even like just fine once through. Especially if I hit a wall somewhere and stop having fun. It's just easier to play something else for a bit.

I still haven't played Horizon 2 despite preordering it. I would like to genuinely get into Horizon 1, and finish it.

So many games I'd like to play. It just feels kind of discouraging. I usually only have an hour or two a day to play a game, and it often feels discouraging to play long games if I'm not absolutely loving every second of it.  Like Death Stranding is like 40 hours (https://howlongtobeat.com/game/38061) for a typical playthrough. Which means it would probably take me somewhere between 3 and 6 weeks to play it through.

But I'm going to try to finish Horizon this time.

Still have a bunch of other games to finish that I've put in a fair amount of time into.
Death Stranding
Ghost of Tsushima
Sackboy
Returnal
Nioh

and there are probably a few others that aren't coming to mind.




Writing all this out, kind of makes me rethink some of the Batman AA stuff.

I think it helps a lot that its a relatively short title, and it helps that I've played it before. So I didn't have to figure out many of the challenges.

But still it is an awesome game and I still felt like I wanted to explore more even though I got all the riddles for once.

Let me know what infra is like. I go into these games as blind as possible so I haven't known if Infra is what I'm into.

Also since Hapax is taking too long, just buy the DLC for Outer Wilds. It's eerily similar lol.

I get that 100%. I love short games that I can just enjoy and then move on from. I only play a few long games a year since really the only way to play is to fully give yourself to the game and embrace however long it takes.

This was a short post because I was heading to bed.

There are a number of things I would like changed with Horizon. There are a lot of NPCs that are just "Nora braves", that are more like just interactable environment pieces. I feel like the melee could feel better.

But there's something pretty awesome about finding destroyed ruins, climbing up and climbing onto a tall neck.

First impressions of Infra. I like the free roam aspect of it. Story not really kicked off yet but the voice acting isn't amazing but not bad enough to be a deal braker. I'm hoping it doesn't go too phycological horror but starting to feel tense. Feels like you get a few eater eggs if you search the maps. So far, I'm enjoying it.

Just to expand, it hasn't had any horror elements yet but feels it could go that way.

Post by: SWORDF1SH on Feb 22, 2023, 10:45 AM
In Infra, I like that a lot of the objects are climbable so trying to break out of the map just for fun (not achieved it yet lol). There is also a huge amount of references to real world products and movie/TV shows which does make you smile when you see them. Maybe a little to many though.

I think the one big thing that I would complain about with Horizon is that combat sometimes doesn't feel great.

It doesn't feel like a great experience if you got caught. It can be pretty easy to get thrashed around by an overpowered machine, and it's really hard to get out of those situations.

Everything else is pretty great. Visuals are stunning. Running around is fun. The sense of discovery is pretty good.

The crazy thing is I must have gotten Horizon 1 for my birthday and now 6 years later I finished the story just in time for my next birthday.

Also I was only like 5 minutes from competing the story,

It strangely felt like I played through Horizon for the first time.

I'm guessing I've played about halfway through Infra and it's one of my favourite walking sim adventures. I love how natural everything feels with no on screen objectives, a few "side missions" that the game doesn't tell you to do but by exploring the world you can work out how to do them and nothing is too far fetched.

There's so much to find and explore that I will play it over again to get everything I missed.

Negatives so far is that some spaces are quite big but you seem to do very little withing them. I'm reserving final judgement on that because I feel there are more to some of these spaces.

O and the game is really good looking.

There's a rare bug that does that. If it's ever a major issue I can probably recover the original.

At the time did you realize how close you were to finishing Horizon?

Controversial opinion here, and something that I am probably completely wrong about.


 But I feel like Horizon might be a better game if machines were less common. There's a machine site like every 200 feet in the first game. There's nothing particularly special about fighting the machines. It feels like the norm.

I'm not bible thumping prude or whatever but I don't particularly loved killing humans in any video game.  

I can do without blood and gore must of the time. I prefer enemies that turn into smoke or fireworks or whatever over corpses.  

that part of what fighting machine dinosaurs was good for.  all of the killing none of the guilt.  

I don't know if I would agree that H1 had too many.  you could traverse that land without engaging them for the most part.  

I do think they could have been a bit more engaging in their over world design.  most of the machines were there just to fill space.

Most of the map is like this, where like 90% of the locations are different machine sites.


Like I think I'd rather see like half of those stripped out, and make some of the bigger machines roam over wider areas.

Instead of there being a dedicated Thunderjaw area, make it so that a thunderjaw just appears every once in a while. Have it more of a surprise.

i'd mostly agree but phrase it slightly differently.

...make if feel like an ecosystem.  some animals roam in groups.  other defend a territory.  but always there is interaction between them.  horizon was structured too much like a game with specific locations you'd find specific robos with no interactions between them.   that's good i guess if you're gameplay is structured around farming kills for part but the game wasn't really structured like that so i think a more dynamic ecosystem approach would feel/play better.

but absolutely, i have  a specific memory of a thunderjaw sitting by itself in a caldera (https://www.hellocanaryislands.com/sites/default/files/styles/16_9_desktop/public/resources/header_images/caldera_blanca-cab-D.jpg?itok=UcKZAIKW) just pacing back and forth.   it was weird.  i'd rather it roam around freely.   so long as there is a tell that one is approaching it would have been more fun (imo) to have to hunt for one when i wanted to kill it or to run from one if i wanted to avoid it.

I agree. Id love to see a more natural movement for machines. Have herds move around. A huge number of machines migrate, have them have cycles in their activity.

I think they did it like this because it saves time. 2- because if hunting and to easily find materials. 3-  to make it easier and have the "routes" of the machine planned out, so you can set the traps and such

You should play the second game lol. I don't know if it's pulled off that well, but they have herds. Makes a few fights fun where you're hunting the herd and unexpectedly wander into a dangerous machine's area.

I'm really enjoying Infra. Story is ok but feels very strung out. Puzzles feel relatively natural for a game and not overcomplicated but being more simple goes well with a game that doesn't hold your hand. They've done a great job with making the maps seem bigger than they are and I really love the idea for industrial plants puzzles although could of been pulled off better. Would love to her your take on it but won't say to much.

I've played MGSV on PS4 but never completed it so will be nice to start again on PC.

I think I'm going to keep trying with it. I "spoiled" myself by watching the trailers and while those didn't excite me, almost all the steam reviews say exactly what I want to hear. Plus your posts have been pretty glowing too.

I think I'm going to keep trying with it. I "spoiled" myself by watching the trailers and while those didn't excite me, almost all the steam reviews say exactly what I want to hear. Plus your posts have been pretty glowing too.

Yes the torch battery life is horrendous but you don't really need it on for long periods. I just do a quick flash in dark areas and I don't need to change batteries that often.
I hope it gets better for you, keep me updated on your thoughts.

I took a long pause but I played it again this morning. It's at least interesting now with proper diverging paths.

What was the intended way to get to the control room in the flooded dam? I could shut off the electricity in the water but then the door wouldn't open. So instead I stacked boxes and jumped up.

If its the area I think, you are supposed to jump along the machinery in the middle of the flooded area and use the boxes to help jump along area that are to far to jump.

I did the bad ending first and then the good. If I could only do one I would of chose the good but knew that I could do both so didn't think about it. What I like about the story is that if you pay a little bit of attention, it's obvious what to choose. A lot of multiple ending stories if a 50/50 shot if you are making the right choices. How did you find the puzzles? For me the concept of the puzzles were nothing new but very well done.

A lot people online seem to think the other ending was the good ending. They blindly trusted the floating orb. I did both too just to see what happened.

I liked a fair amount of the puzzles but I also disliked a fair amount. Maybe I was rushing but many puzzles were slow and annoying to experiment. If it takes a few minutes to validate a puzzle solution it's pretty lame. Like the underwater area was all kinda slow even if the ideas were cool.

Also with its inventory it sometimes felt more like an adventure game than a Myst style game, which I didn't like. Made things feel too artificial and restricted. Like for example how most of your inventory disappears once you go underground, so you know everything remaining must have a use.

I enjoyed the self contained puzzles and some of the others like the "Indiana Jones sand weight" one. Gave it a 5/10 in my notes. Had a major performance issue every time it autosaved.

Wait a minute, I just realised the ending you chose as good. Nah, trusting the orb was the good ending. The guy clearly went crazy and also ruined all the ancient buildings for power. Sharing the tech would of destroyed everybody and everything... maybe what is good and what is the bad ending isn't as black and white as I thought.

I enjoyed the underwater section, I didn't spend too much time on it. I found the second half of the game easier and I'm not sure iif the puzzles got easier or I just had a better understanding of the puzzles in Quern. Kind of like when you do cryptic crosswords from different magazines/newspapers, they have their own style and takes a few solutions to get into their mindset

I didn't feel like there was much experimenting like you say either except for one occasion when I was like "nah, I ain't doing that". That was the different effects of the berries. It felt like it wanted me to find where I needed to use the berries and find out which one I should use at the same time. I confess, I used a guide for that part.

I didn't mind the the puzzles being in a linear fashion but I do agree that you should of kept the items you collected instead of just leaving only the items you need.

I also like the way you could take not but didn't really find a need to use it that much other than to take a load of notes to get the achievement lol.

I used a hint for the berries too! Here's my post right after I finished it: Battle of the Backlog (https://vizioneck.com/forum/index.php?msg=277953)

For the ending the devs definitely wanted you to like the orb, but she was way too pompous. Her actions lead to the destruction of her people yet she shows no humility or personal responsibility. I think it would have been much more effective if she had doubts herself near the end and was more resigned, letting the player "independently" agree with her.

You really didn't like it lol. I don't think I solved a puzzle by randomly trying all the objects. I mean I tried a few times when I was stuck but failed before finding an object I didn't pick up from a previous puzzle lol. Even the berries that I cheated on, I discovered later that if you try all the berries in the room you juice them, there's a clue of which berry you need and for what. I think the biggest stretch for what object to use was the magnet for the hook which I figured out quite quickly but on another day I might of spent a while on it.

I think I might of enjoyed it more than Obduction  :o

I think I worded that poorly and let a bit too much of my frustration seep through. I never brute forced puzzles (except the one after the diving suit where you seemingly need to brute force the 5th number). Instead it felt like there was poor "cause and effect" in the game. Like for example this from the game:

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>(https://i.imgur.com/1zLJyro.png)<br>


There's no hint that leads you here. You know it probably has something to do with blue light but it's just exhausting all possibilities until you try putting the blue spotlight on this specific object. Some players will get lucky and discover this pretty quickly, but in my case I only shined the spotlight at different areas.

Crazy that you liked it more than Obduction!

That blue light bit took me ages. Yeah you're right about that. Brute forcing the 5th number was also little strange I agree.
Obduction was a way more polished game with a better story and if I scored both I'd put Obduction above Quern easily because of the overall package. But I feel like I enjoyed Quern more, I enjoy Quern type of puzzles more.

I wish I liked quern more. The puzzles with the plant and position area were pretty cool most of the time. Just on its puzzles though, I'd still rank it below everything from Cyan.

Also playing a game recommended by legend, 7 Days to End With You. Very Unique very you have to work out the foreign language by slowly learning what each word is. I'm struggling to decipher the words but really like the challenge so far. Any tips Legend?

I kinda liked call of the sea. I think about it far more than most mediocre games. Also fun that the character is from Colorado, although they mispronounced Englewood lol.

One thing that's good to know is that the game is only 7 days long (shocker). You're expected to play it multiple times and not have everything figured out by the end of your first playthrough.

Played 15 minutes of Riven and got a refund fir the Myst collection lol. I was prepared fie dated graphics but didn't realise it was a point and click. I don't mind point and click in the styles of Broken Sword or The Room but it's a bit tedious when you have to click to move a short distant or to rotate 90 degree or to look up.

I would of enjoyed this game 25 years ago but today it sucks the soul out of me. I will check out the other Myst games and buy 3,4 and 5 individually if the are true 3D like the Myst remaster.

3 and 4 are also point and click, but they at least upgraded to 360 panoramic pictures.

Myst was first converted to 3D in 2000 so many people have only experienced it that way.

Riven has a cool moment that wouldn't translate well to 3D. Wonder how they'll handle it in the remake.

I kind of do but also find it tedious to look around with that system.

It's strange because even though I'm quite an impatient person, I can spend hours running around trying to solve 1 puzzle but 5 minutes of looking around in 90° increments was enough for me even though the puzzles seemed interesting.

I would of loved this game when it released, it's like the old school text adventures on steroids but modern games have spoilt us.

Started a new game called Puzzle Park. So far not bad. It's inspired by The Witness but not as clever and the puzzles so far aren't too difficult but hard enough to be satisfying to solve.

Also finished Call of the Sea. I enjoyed the puzzles but the story is where it really shone.

Also bought Logic - Keypad which looks cool enough to pass a bit of time.

Also I need to get back into Outer Wilds. Like the idea of the breaking the loop to progress, wasn't expecting that.

Also gotta try and get into 7 Days Ends with You. I think I'll enjoy it but got to be in the right mood.

Puzzle Park was ok. Worth the £5 for a few hours of puzzle solving. Just started Logic - Keypad and it is very rough. Even more rough than Puzzle Park but still enjoying it. One of my main gripes with LK is that some puzzles are that are connected to another people doesn't really you give you any inkling that they are connected.

But what I'm really excited for is Disco Elysium. It just had a 75% discount down to £8 so can't wait to give that a go

It seems, unsurprisingly, a common theme in these low budget games but what the game lacked in puzzle implementation it made up for in creativity that improved over the 3 levels. I would buy Logic - Keypad 2 if ever released to see how it improves.

You win some and you lose some.

BTW I finished Infra a few days ago. Pretty interesting. I didn't bother reading anything so some puzzles were pretty hard lol. Wish the game was open world or something because while I loved a lot of the exploration and problem solving, it sucked not knowing which path was optional and which was mandatory.

You completed the game in under 22 hours? dang I'm slow at these games. I spent over 50 hours on Infra!!!
I'm just too smarrt.

Factory puzzles were fun. I liked most but a few times I used the audio hint to know when I was done.

I love puzzles that are "real" like that. I wish it did a better job telling you the goal. Like in general you just assume you need to turn on the machine and fix things, but sometimes I was pretty aimless.

Playing Photon Engineer which so far is a good little laser puzzle game. It feels loosely Talos Principle inspired but as where TP made complicated puzzle with simple game mechanics, PE give you a various but small amount of puzzle items to make the puzzles more complex. PE you have items to direct the right colour beams to the right laser pad using boxes, 90 degree laser reflectors, coloured laser combiners, splitters, split the combined laser back into the primary colours (unlocked so far). Also the main laser pads require a certain coloured laser or no laser at certain increments (6 increments a second apart) after pushing the button to start timer. So the first increment might require a red laser, second no laser, third green laser etc so you also have a delay laser item to assist with that. It's just a well made laser type puzzle game. 

How are you getting on Legend? You might not be as impressed as me but around level 10 it starts to get you thinking.

I absolutely loved the variety of concepts and ideas. Almost every level required a new way of thinking. Story wasn't bad either.

I definitely skip the fluff, but sometimes it's hard to know what's important and what's fluff! What I liked in Photon Engineer is that the story is pretty small and minor but it's still an important part of the game.

Thanks again for the game!

How is the gameplay?  It doesn't need to be great for me, but I want it to be at least fun and engaging enough to last me through the story and world

I want to play this but I am pissed because it was given away on PS+, but in my region they didn't give us the game. Which is battleship IMO as they gave a shaming game instead

It's solid and surprisingly not janky. In combat you have your swords, hammers, axes as your typical weapons but also these rings which do magic attacks. You also have a gun which you need to use sparingly but it is useful for stop enemies and doing serious damage. The game is broken up into open areas but can be quite limited and you'll definitely know you cannot venture to certain places. The enemies can also be quite tough as well if you're not prepared. I don't think it's a massive game either. Maybe 25 hours doing everything. The universe has a lot of potential so I am watching the sequel closely now.

Can't solve 1 puzzle in a special way. I'm really stumped.

I looked at the trophy list and I like these types of trophies which adds to the game rather than trophies for reaching checkpoints. I haven't played on my PC for a short while but I think I'm on platform 18 or 19.

I was right, the puzzle was 100% impossible with the tools at my disposal. There just happened to be another tool I didn't know about lol.

Played it years ago when it released. It's cool but highly overrated imo. Simple puzzles but a pleasant atmosphere. The sequel is on my backlog.

I also played their vr game Lands End and it was similar. Simple puzzles but a pleasant atmosphere.

Played The Witness and I remembering more than I thought I would but still fun. My aim is to find all those god dang scenery patterns that I failed to do on PlayStation. Probably the best secondary puzzle scheme ever implemented into a game.

yeah, that one.  that final pillar was something that if you could quickly logic it out I never figured out the stategy.  I was just "button mashing" as hard as I could hoping I got lucky.  

I always wasted too much time solving the middle puzzle where 2 of the 3 were unsolvable too.  maybe if I could figure out how to do that quickly I would have made it.  everything else I was really good at.

let us know if you beat it and especially if you figure out some foolproof stategy to solve things quick.   I feel like there needs to be something I could have done better to solve things quick that I didn't figure out.

I think you're right. Probably ends under the mountain but the bulk is towards the monastery and town.

Gdi. I just paced it all out below and above (using strafe, forwards and backwards) to find out where the record player is located from above and but found the tunnel the other side of the record player that pops out right below the well. Definitely right under the town. What a waste of time. I was so disoriented down there lol.

I'm 7 environment puzzles away from finding them all on The Witness. Gave up on the music player challenge after 20+ attempts. I cheated and found out the pattern for the theatre which would of been unlocked if you completed music player challenge because I suspected that that was the missing film to get one of the environment patterns and that's the only time I've looked at a guide. It was weird because I couldn't remember completing that environment puzzle last time but remember the stories told in the video so I must of done it.

Overall, The Witness kind of feels like a new experience because I forgot so much. The deeper I got into the game the more it became unfamiliar. A lot of thing I remembered but also vague memories were enough to help solve a lot of other puzzle, both panels and environment.  

Still enjoying loads but not as special as playing it first time around.


Note: I'm still finding hidden easter eggs. Which is crazy how much I explred the island the first time.

I only played one or two levels but I had a glitch that launched me all the way across to the finish. Was appreciated.


Played Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord. It's a pretty fun and cool game but its limitations really got me hyped about Forged Odyssey if I ever go back to it. Diplomacy and personal interactions were really lacking. I married my brother off to a queen and I didn't get a single thing out of it! I thought she was joining my house since the game never said anything about it being matrilineal. At the very least the game should of made our houses allies. I had to execute my brother just a few months later after she declared war.

I decided to just go on a rampage executing everyone since there isn't much else to do in the game. Pretty much all the quests are just boring ones that increase a relationship counter. The most fun way to increase a relationship is to just fight people and release them, so the game becomes so pointless once you're tired of the combat.


Played Medieval Dynasty. It kinda sucks. I have no idea if the game wants me to go on an adventure or settle down because both options are pretty poor. Crafting is a joke with something like a hammer taking a third of a tree's wood. Everything takes too long yet there's simultaneously nothing to do except run back and forth for fetch quests. I got a person to join my settlement yet she takes so long to collect wood. A regular city builder with fast forward options could be a lot more fun, or at least give me more flexibility.

I think I want to play more Warhorn. That game was super small yet handled a lot of these things better.

But id argue its better you experience it at the start rather than later on. I only ever experienced one game breaking bug, and was with ZombieU. (I think they just called it Zombie) on PS4.  Apperantly it was a bug that was present on the WiiU version, got fixed on there, but then when they ported to the PS4 they didn't port it with the fix. Its literally a game breaking bug as you can't progress after it. And no matter what you do you can't undo it. And they had the audacity to release that game on PS+

i just made a thread about returnal because that deserves it's own thread.

...but also just plat'd humanity last night.  

overall very good.  legend or Pi (probably) made that post about games that change their genre part way though.   that might not be exactly how i should describe humanity but also i will anyways.   early levels were what i expected and very "puzzle" game.  late levels much less so.  it's probably inaccurate to call it an RTS but it felt more like an RTS than a puzzle game.   i did enjoy it for what it was but also i wanted it to be more of a puzzle game.

had amazing style though.   i loved the way the levels appeared when you started a level and the music was very solid all the way though.

Been jumping around some games again.

Started Diablo 3 after finishing FF XVI. It feels like a different kind of game. The moment to moment gameplay mechanics don't feel very engaging to me, but the progression systems are pretty great. Like I don't like the combat at all, but it's still awesome to be able to crush an army with ease.

Played like 2.5 hours of Skyrim yesterday. There's lots about the game that isn't very well done. But like as a package, it does so many things that I've yet to see another offline game do all of.

Also playing formerly Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. A real fun time.

I've been playing Baba is You. Didn't know it existed until I was recommended it a week ago. Not that deep onto it but I'm liking the need to consistently think out of the box. I can imagine this game getting crazy complex in later levels.
I talked about it a fair amount but I spam a lot so that's fair.

It's really great.

Probably not taken an interest because I've always been put off by Sokoban style games. I judge games way to often on looks and sokoban games never really caught my attention. Baba is You has just opened up a whole lot of games on my radar.

Moving on to Starfield, I'm maybe a few hours in and probably won't play more. I just think I don't like RPGs that much. I always love the idea of RPGs and get sucked in but I never follow through. It's like I get to a point of realisation that i have to pump 100s of hours into it and i don't feel it's worth it for me.
Starfield looks great and is a great game but this was the reason I wasn't sure if to Game Pass it or buy it. Game Pass was the right choice.

And I feel like I'm the opposite.  

I'd rather put 100 hours into a great game, than put 10 hours into 10 good games.

Even with shorter games, I will just replay them a lot. Uncharted 2, I've played all the way through ~15 times. It's like a 12 hour game, and I've probably put 300 hours into it (including multiplayer before someone maths me.)

Absolutely and I get it. Building up you character and exploring huge worlds is appealing to me until I do it, but I get why people love it. Maybe I'm weird because I'd happily spend hours solving one puzzle on Talos or tens of hours finding all the hidden treasures on Uncharted but I guess RPGs aren't for me. And I've tried a varied amount of RPG's - Legend of Dragoon, FFVII, Horizon, GoW, Disco Elysium, Salt 2, some old school Zelda like clone on Steam, Skyrim- and I never finish them. I couldn't even finish MGSV and I love that series. I also think I've gotten more impatient which age which doesn't help

I would say I'm a gamer but not compared to you guys.

i'm the same.   i started the witcher 3 and said to myself, "this is kind of fun!   ...but it seems like it will take 12+ months to beat.   next game!!".   

10-20 is the sweet spot for me because i don't want to play just 1 game a year.   i want to try a bunch of games in a bunch of genres.   the only games i can drop 100s of hours into is things like rocket league and multiversus where it's just a series of 5 minute commitments.    ...or top teir puzzle games like talos principle or fez.

Nah, I don't even game that much.

I only play like an hour, maybe 2 a day.

I spent like 12 months mostly just playing through Dark Souls 1-3, Demon's Souls, Elden Ring. Putting like 100 hours into each one.

And I would do it again frankly....

I think my problem with most large games is that you're just doing the same thing over and over. After a few hours, do they really have that much left to say on the gameplay side?

I loved MGSV, Horizon, AC Odyssey, all the Mass Effects, etc. but I really need to be in the correct state of mind for them.

A lot of people will keep their subs I feel. With every big game, the base sub count will rise. I think Game Pass will be successful and a missed opportunity for Sony as they were the first to do game subscription. I just hope that it doesn't dilute the quality of games in the future.

That's worrying for MS then. I wonder what the numbers will be after the dust settles from Starfield . Starfield is probably the biggest console exclusive on Game Pass and will appeal to millions of gamers outside of Xbox ecosystem.

The worrying thing for MS is that gamers expect all first party games to be on Games Pass. Even CoD when they aquire ABK. Will Game Pass produce more money than if the MS Studios weren't under Game Pass?

I am also very curious about the numbers post starfield too.  

this is the biggest "event" since gamepass was introduced.  if this can't drive subs then nothing can.  I really hope we get new numbers but knowing MS we probably won't get them. 

and yeah, exactly.   putting CoD on gamepass would drastically reduce revenue imo.   I have ps+ extra and my spend is down massively for what I typically spend in a year.

yeah, i noticed that.

tbh,.. i would still think gamepass is a good deal if instead of all first party available for free day-1 it was all first party available for 50% off day-1.   at this point they'd get a massive amount of bad press about it because it is worst then what's available now but like... for a $180 a year subscription i think that's more than fair.     else,.. MS needs to cap their first party output to 3 releases a year to align with $180/$70 = 2.5.

Most of the rest are just finishing a few storylines.

Dark Brotherhood questline is really good but I don't like having it with my character. And I was quite surprised how much I remembered.

The college questline feels like it could be a little more fleshed out.

According to the Platinum guide, it takes 125 hours to platinum. But I think i'll come very short of that. I'm only like 40 hours in, and I've done half the list already and the other half doesn't look bad.

But I'm also intending to do Dawnguard and Dragonborne storylines.

I finished Chants of Sennaar.

It has 186 words yet I can only remember ~5 of them. It's crazy how much this game abandoned language learning and just started doing everything in English. (Edt: whole game is about language and glyphs but how you use them changes) Pretty fun game yet the first half is so much better than the second half.

Hapax is scary since players really need to learn the language and Chants makes me feel a bit more confident in that choice. The translation tools in Chants feel awesome when you first start but they are way overpowered.

The game is a 7 out of ten. Maybe an 8 if I focus on the first half. Would recomend for any puzzle fans. It's like return of the obra dinn but with words instead of death.

that's okay,.. to each their own.  I just finished the plat.  I chatted up my coop buddy about it and he thinks it has parallels to tunic.   

I haven't played tunic yet but it's been "on the list" for a long time.  he made me really want to play it even more. 

Better than returnal?
no, I liked returnal more. 

returnal is clearly the bigger and more impressive game.  it was extra fresh being in the a 3rd person perspective.  the story surprised me especially in that it was so perfectly matched to the gameplay loop. 

death door was highly polished for what it was but there are a million isometric games you could compare it to,.. many of them also great.   death's door excelled at really hitting the right balance in gameplay: hard but fair, death was frequent but not punishing, level and enemy design varied but distinct, and they actually had a pretty robust end game for those going for the plat. 

it was great but not innovative. 

 returnal really felt like something new to me which is hard for a guy like me that has been playing for about 40 years.

I had a similar feeling. Stopped me from doing all the extra stuff, but maybe I'll go back.

In my case I think it's just the same issue I have with most sokoban games. Some levels let me feel clever but so many levels just feel like I'm exhausting the possibility space. Solving the puzzle feels too much like work instead of play.

Skyrim update:

- like a third of the way through the Thieves Guild.

Had a weird reaction yesterday. So the guards will face you and make random one liners. It's the usual thing but for some reason, the way that the guard turned around and talked gave me a weird vibe. It felt a lot less scripted than it usually does and there's not really a reason why I don't think.

Playing through The Talos Principle again. In the past I've spent many hours solving the puzzles and revisiting lots of levels in search of the stars over multiple playthroughs. Even with all those hours pumped in and every puzzle space recognisable the instant I step into it, 95% percent of puzzles I've either forgot or vaguely remember how to solve so it's still fun to play. Even more fun than playing The Witness again.

Finished the Thieves Guild story line. It's so lame. The first half is about a secret organization that means nothing to me. And then the second half is just randomly generated thief jobs.

I first played it about 3 years ago but my memory just isn't that great. I do find myself beating levels like I'm Legend, so vaguely remembering how to solve the puzzle does at as clues but not a deal breaker.

some of it is just inherit to the puzzle mechanic.   so many puzzle game involve a literal or figurative "switch".   it can be in either position A or B.  talos principal has a solution but it is more analog which helps make it so the level design does "tell" the solution. 

I remember 1 puzzle in particular that I was having a hard time with and I finally found a solution that involved borrowing a beam from a neighboring puzzle.  I thought to myself that can't be what they wanted.  I looked it up and sure enough the expected solution was a lot simpler and did not require the borrowed beam.  still, I felt proud of myself.

some of it is just inherit to the puzzle mechanic.   so many puzzle game involve a literal or figurative "switch".   it can be in either position A or B.  talos principal has a solution but it is more analog which helps make it so the level design does "tell" the solution.

Was that the correct solution for a later puzzle? I remember borrowing a beam too.

There's a few puzzles that require a neighbouring beam to get the stars. I think the main puzzles are self contained.

I think I remember Talos principle having a good difficulty level. Not mindless like so many puzzle games, but not annoying either. I definitly remember really having to think on some of those optional puzzles, like an underground cave on a floating island or something? IDK.
The DLC? I think I still need to complete that. I got a fair way through it, just need to mop a few things up.

Earlier one actually,.. was how i got the idea.  The way i did it borrowing the beam was very complex and require pinpoint accuracy.   …whch is why of felt like a hack.  My beam was going through the corner of a pillar.

The DLC? I think I still need to complete that. I got a fair way through it, just need to mop a few things up.
The dlc was fantastic.  The challenge puzzels especially were great.  From what i've read few manage to get them without a guide but i did it by myself.

I'm 2 hours into Monster's Expedition. I like it more than Stephen's sausage roll in general, but I felt far too aimless for most of those 2 hours. The game has a clear objective/success state but you have to spend some time learning what that is.

It's a fun sokoban. Absolutely loved how it handled the game's title. The writing is pretty bleh but a kid would probably have a lot of fun with it.

Game has a good/easy flow when I know what the goal is. A few times I've been stuck for more than a few minutes since what I think is the goal is not actually the goal.

Fair amount of clever stuff. I think I'm getting close to the end, but I don't know. My biggest critique is that progression is just so mindless.
Title: Re: Say Anything About The Game You're Currently Playing...
Post by: Legend on Oct 04, 2023, 10:32 PM
Finished monsters expedition. Pretty disappointing ending, but overall I enjoyed it. Had clever ideas and was executed well but its only big surprise was in the opening.

Was pretty fun to play. Most puzzles were relatively easy so I made it through in under 10 hours despite doing most of the extra content. Some puzzles were fun and hard, but most of the hard puzzles were just annoying. I wouldn't even know what the game wanted me to do so I'd have to exhaust the possibility space.


Gonna clean up stuff I missed. I'm hoping the game still has some secrets but I doubt it.

I know some of the dark brotherhood quest but otherwise you lost me.

Here I spoil the 6 big quests in the game.

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br><br>Dark Brotherhood one is cool. You take someone&#39;s identity, get double crossed and end up killing the emperor.<br><br>The main storyline has a couple interesting beats, where you kind of travel back into the past and you also go to &quot;heaven&quot; to have a final boss fight.&nbsp; <br><br>College of Winterhold is mostly boring, but there&#39;s one quest that almost gets emotional. It could have been done better, but you see the head of the college lose like 6 companions trying to get through a single dungeon. <br><br>The companions involves becoming a werewolf and taking out some werewolf hunters. <br><br>Thieves Guild, I&#39;m probably underrating this one. The first half is about this secret organization, but it doesn&#39;t feel as meaningful as some of the other ones. And then the second half is just a bunch of thief quests and it&#39;s kind of boring.<br><br>The war arc is just a bunch of battles, and one instance where you trick the other side by delivering a letter with fake info.<br>
Title: Re: Say Anything About The Game You're Currently Playing...
Post by: Legend on Oct 05, 2023, 06:42 PM
I member parts of most of those. Just had no clue what the quest names were.




I hate temporarily impossible puzzles in puzzle games. Monsters Expedition has just a few and now whenever I'm stuck I have no idea if I need to think harder or go solve unrelated puzzles. The game uses a fog of war over the map so you can't know what's even just one island over.

I'm going for 100% so the game's doing something right, but it has a lot of issues outside its sokoban gameplay.

100% of expeditions done. Still have some snowmen remaining but I think I'm calling it for monster's expedition. The fog of war is just so unfun in these later stages, at least for me.

7/10. Moment to moment is often pretty fun and is better than Baba is you and Stephen's sausage roll imo but it's just the exact same thing hour after hour.

And then I can put Skyrim away for another 8 years.

Completed the Talos Principle. Got all the sigil and stars in 27 hours. Almost as enjoyable at when I played it the first time.

Things felt familiar but still a challenge. I can remember I had help on 2 of the stars the first time round and still had to get help on how to work out that dang clock puzzle.
All in all, I completed this a lot quicker than the first time round because of previous experience but still not quicker than legend lol

Now on to the DLC.

You pay a guy to mine into a dungeon, before you explore it, and you have to keep coming back to explore everything, as they dig up more of the mine.

F you Talos,  f you.

I played the Talos 2 principle demo and it shows a prompt if you right click, to move a laser connector, you can keep all the devices connected to the laser connector, connected.  So handy if you have to move the laser connector a  little bit or need to add on another device without resetting it.

I thought it was a nice knew addition until I tried the right click on Talos 1 and lo and behold, I could do the same on there but they don't show the prompt.

So basically after multiple playthroughs and I'm pretty much done with the game, I discover a feature that would of made things a little less awkward and it was seemingly always there.

Post by: Legend on Nov 01, 2023, 05:40 PM
I had a lot of trouble with Painscreek killings. I missed one important thing super early in the game so eventually I had 90% solved all mysteries yet had no way to progress. I had to keep searching areas with a fine tooth comb and while I found a couple things, none of them ever lead to new mysteries. Finally I found the important thing and then the whole game opened up again, but it was lame busy work because I already knew almost everything the game was trying to reveal. Very end was fun though.

I missed something in Scott Brooks' room. That building was the very first open world building I entered, so I was just super unlucky. Like the complete opposite of my OW Echoes of the Eye playthrough.


Painscreek Killings has a lot of similarities to Hapax but hopefully the differences in execution work out in my favor. My design is a lot less rigid so players shouldn't ever feel like they discovered stuff in the wrong order or missed something mandatory. Painscreek feels engineered with all the hints and leads but even the world design feels engineered. Lots of problems could be solved if the player could just smash a window or crouch under a chain. It's fine, but it forces you as the player to think "what do the devs want me to do to solve this" instead of just "how do I solve this." Hapax is an immersive sim so of course it doesn't have this issue. Also Hapax is a genuine world so there's no reason to expect a solution to just fall into the player's lap if they keep playing.

Of course my big fear with Hapax is that it'll be boring. Solving murders is a lot more thrilling than alien archeology.

Edt: forgot to give a score. Painscreek 8/10

I'm having trouble finishing any games.  

If I love a game, I have no problem spending months in a single game.

Other than that, I feel antsy. I keep thinking I could be playing Returnal or Ghost of Tsushima or a dozen other games. So many games in my backlog.  

I know I'm going to be playing Super Mario RPG in 2 weeks. But aside from that I am struggling to get through a game.

There are a few games that I know that I would get sucked into, been wanting to replay Uncharted, Batman AC recently, but I feel like I should play more of the games that have been stuck in my backlog.

I got sucked into Skyrim, Horizon 2 recently.

Yet I'm struggling to put 10 hours into any of these games:
- Returnal
- Ghost of Tsushima
- Death Stranding
- Diablo 3

I gave up on deliver us mars. First hour is slow and funky. Maybe it'd make a bit more sense if I remembered everything from the first game, but the acting and story is so poor most of the time.

Very bad and dated looking most of the time. The menu looked amazing and sometimes it looks great, but most of the time the lighting, faces, and animations are funky. Big problem since it's trying to be an emotional and slow game.

Q.U.B.E 2 is a fun Portal style puzzle game. I'm 5 hours in and it feels like about an hour left judging by the story. After playing Talos 2 it's nice to play a game that's just the main puzzles with no other distractions. Puzzles are about mid difficulty max and not that complicated but still fun if you want a quick puzzle game to play. Definitely worth a play if on discount ( I picked up for £2).

Finished Qube took 5 hours, the puzzles are bit more varied and slightly harder than the Qube 2, especially the last puzzle. I need to get the collectibles which adds a harder difficulty to the puzzles to collect which I really like. I think I could spend another 5 to 10 hours getting the collectibles.

Qube 1 is more challenging and it felt like it had more variation on how to solve each puzzle. Qube 2 remained more focused on the types of puzzles but added more cube types instead of having a clear distinction between the types of puzzles like in Qube 1. Overall both are great games but Qube 2 felt like the better game although slightly less difficult.

I requested my first steam refund.

Was super hyped for Shadows of Doubt but my hour with it was incredibly disappointing. Way more restrictive than I expected and just not that fun. Was loading into it to give it a second chance but it had even more stupid stuff.

Glad I bought this Christmas present myself  :P
I reakon I get a refund on about 25% of the games I buy lol.

Spoiler for the ending of qube 1

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>I thought I might have had a choice with the ending so I didn&#39;t go in the escape pod. I let the game idle to see if I could get a bad ending but nope &nbsp;:P <br>

Refund rate is high because I spend ages looking through games using Streams dodgy tags and judge the games by screenshot and short description. Most of the time it's not what I expected or it didn't grip me straight away. But I've found a few gems and the easy refund system means I can be a bit more risky in search of games I might like.

The extra Sector 8 level in Qube is pretty good. It ups the difficulty when you reach the Master Room. There's also 'Tough Going' extra puzzles which sounds like it will be difficult. Having a lot more fun with this game than I expected.

I've started playing evil west. It feels like your typical PS3 game. Which I'm enjoying honestly. Graphics are weak, cut scenes are average. Puzzles are weak. But gameplay is surprisingly very good so far. And the story is interesting. Lore is interesting too.

Overall I'm enjoying it. Let's see how it develops.

If you're up for a typical linear action game, evil west is it.

Honestly it's nothing special. It literally feels like a PS3 game. But it's fun, it's free. I have been enjoying these types of games lately. I don't want to spend 40-50 hours on each game.

This game really makes me wish we get a sequel to The Order 1886. Though we know that will never happen

I just finished playing Syllogism which is a walking sim puzzle game. It's a 6/10 game but it was a fun few hours for £4. Each puzzle has 4 pillars with a dial on top that can be rotated into 8 position. There are 6 zones and in each zone the dial is used in different ways to solve the puzzle. A lot of the puzzles are to easy but there are a few that will get you to think for a few minutes and then you have the stars to collect.

It's a game you want to love but it's to much of a cliche of puzzle games and a lot of the puzzles just ain't it. It's till a fun game to explore if you have a few hours and don't want to be tested all that much

I've been playing Balatro which is a roguelike deck building game based on poker.  You can can add modified cards to the decks and buy joker cards which are score modifiers and come in a wide variety. You can also buy tarot cards that have one time uses that can add multipliers, modify cards etc. I'm really like it being based on poker and with traditional playing cards and love the how the special cards look.
Only a demo at the moment and released next month. Definitely adding it to wishlist or buy it if price is right.

I don't really play deck builders but recently played Fights in Tight Spaces and enjoyed it so gave Balatro a try after a friend recommended it. Because I'm not really into this genre, what appeals to me is it's not overcomplicated and fun to build up a powerful deck.

I finished The Invincible today. It was pretty good, but I had no idea it had a branching story. I thought it was linear with a couple fake options. Really interesting experience to analyze.

Story was interesting and it's a game I'd recommend, although the gameplay was slow. I think you might like it a bit more if you know that actions have consequences. Or you might like it less because the consequences seem a bit random.


First half spoilers explaining why the game felt linear with fake choices:
Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>I found an injured astronaut that I was trying to save. I took off my oxygen tank and gave it to the injured astronaut, since he needed all the help he could get. The game played this up as an important choice, yet the injured astronaut still died and I found a spare oxygen tank before it ever impacted me. That sure felt like a fake choice in a linear game, but I guess there was a way to save that astronaut.<br><br>Shortly after that I was at a fork in the road. Left went to safety while right went into an enemy camp. I thought the game was linear so I took the safe path and sure enough something went wrong, forcing me into the enemy camp. Again that really reinforced that the game was linear with fake choices only.<br>

Some times the game looked really great and felt like classic sci fi. Other times the overdone sharpening filter was distractingly bad. I wish I could have turned it off.

I played Manifold Garden.

It was kinda good, but I don't understand what I missed. My total play time was only 2 hours 48 minutes and I found a fair amount of things that I couldn't do anything with. Did I miss a lot of content or something? I was genuinely surprised when I got a trophy saying "opened the last door" since I thought I was only finishing the first act out of 3.

Nothing post credits is hinting at me only being partially finished so I guess I'll check out the steam achievements.


Judging as is, it had better puzzles than I expected. Still pretty simple but some of them did a great job of reinforcing the game's funky geometry. Only a couple were bad imo. Visuals were great. Story however sucked and was worse than I expected.
Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>I&#39;m no stranger to minimalistic artistic stories, but this was just 6 colors and then a rainbow. It has hints of a deeper meaning but the main stuff on screen came across as incredibly fake. Like it was imitating things without understanding why they work in other games/movies. Ending looked cool and I liked the hypercube dropping to fewer and fewer dimensions, but I was just thinking about other things like 2001 a Space Odyssey and FEZ while watching it.<br>


Also it's pretty fun to finally play this game after all these years. I followed Manifold Garden's development from the beginning and while the only thing I copied was a screenshot idea from him, I really appreciated all the stuff he shared. Also in many ways it feels like playing the older version of VizionEck/Hapax. I never used portals for large big spaces but the smaller non euclidian stuff is exactly like how old VizionEck worked for a while. I also had walls that would shift the direction of gravity and I even had small black holes that would warp space around them. Manifold Garden does all of this stuff better than I did so it's kinda like my 2014 game was just magically completed by someone else  ;D

I checked achievements and it seems that I did a full regular playthrough.

I liked falling through those long empty hallways so that would have saved some time, but I got lost once too. I also spent a fair amount of time taking blocks out of their areas because I expected secret uses.

I think I'll replay it and go for that last trophy.

I played Manifold Garden again for my missing achievements. This time it took 5 hours and 24 minutes, and man am I glad that I spoiled the beginning of this run because otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

It's not just a couple extra collectables, but essentially a second campaign that is woven within the first. I highly recommend it just because it adds a lot more to the game. Was frustrating at times with both glitches and mindless hide and seek sections, but had a lot of great moments too. Still haven't accessed one area I saw through windows so there might be even more.

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>Ending was worse, which is lame, but it also didn&#39;t have the random color cutscenes so I think it was better overall. I loved the idea of revisiting levels in a unique order and using parts for a completely different purpose. I just wish it was a bit more guided and structured at times. It was great when I had a goal and explored to solve that goal but it sucked when I had no goal and just needed to comb the world for something that wasn&#39;t part of the first campaign.<br><br>

There's a way to complete the game without using the dark cubes. I didn't attempt it, it seemed like it would take a while to do. Maybe attempt to do thatl unless that's what you already did on your second run.

It takes a while but it's an independent campaign that's mostly new puzzles. I highly recommend it despite it feeling only 90% finished, plus a few other issues.

Yup played it last year. It was pretty good.

Not too many games use language learning as a puzzle mechanic so I was really excited to try it out. I'd recomend it to every puzzle game fan.

Only real negative was the in game journal was a bit too helpful. For a harder challenge I wish I could have skipped it.

Just finished Door2 and Door3. Had an absolute blast with Door3.  Really good open world puzzle game. With Door2 I abandoned for a while but when I went back, I accepted it flaws (so many in Door2) and then enjoyed playing it so much, I bought Door3 (which improved so much).
Door2 invites you to break the literal boundaries of the game and it is required to collect all the keys. You can even find a lot of ways to skips puzzles by finding a ways to break through, which I found just as fun as solving the puzzle (99% of the time I'd go back to solve the puzzles anyway). It was just frustrating that the game had no checkpoints when meant solving a lot of the puzzles over and over. Door3 did a much better job at saving your progress.
The first Door game felt like a broken mess. Got a refund. But now I might go back and give it a try and no refund this time even if I don't like it, now I've played a lot of game from SVGames and I really like their stuff so I will support them.

Just finished Door2 and Door3. Had an absolute blast with Door3.  Really good open world puzzle game. With Door2 I abandoned for a while but when I went back, I accepted it flaws (so many in Door2) and then enjoyed playing it so much, I bought Door3 (which improved so much).
Door2 invites you to break the literal boundaries of the game and it is required to collect all the keys. You can even find a lot of ways to skips puzzles by finding a ways to break through, which I found just as fun as solving the puzzle (99% of the time I'd go back to solve the puzzles anyway).

Oh there was an old itouch game about doors and I just assumed that's what these were.

I'll have to check them out.

edt: I had no idea the itouch was only discontinued in 2022. I was thinking of a ~2010 game.

well i have finished talos principle 2 now.

good but also disappointing.   maybe it's just because i learned a lot of the mechanics via playing the first game but i found this game to be waaaay too easy. i think i finished every puzzle in about 5 mins with at most 2-3 taking maybe 10 minutes to reason out.   i think that would have been okay for the "main" puzzles but the optional puzzles were also too easy.    worse yet,.. many of the "monument stars" weren't even puzzles.    "find my spirt" is not fuking puzzle,.. its a fuking chore to just mindlessly walk around.   yes i know the monument pointed in the direction of the spirt but with all the cliffs it was really hard to follow that line.

anyways, i 100%ed the game without any guides other than i used some maps i found to navigate the terrain a bit.   having no map in game was fine for the initial play though but it sucked donkey balls when trying to clean up trophies.

...which by the way i loath the "3 mayors" trophies.   one would think after 100%ing the game i'd have the platinum.   i didn't want to use a guide though as to not spoil my game.   part of me wants the plat but a far bigger part of me is pissed off it takes 3 playthoughs or a highly specific guide to get the plat.   puzzle games just don't have the kind of replayability that makes me want to play this a 2nd, 3rd time just to get a plat.

Islands of Insight is that game. A big map crammed with plenty to explore and puzzles to solve.
The upgrade system is pointless but can see what they're attempting and hopefully improve upon.
The multiplayer side of it needs work. It's cool to see people running around doing their own thing but the interacting is painful and nobody bothers because even when you do squad up, you can talk or text chat. It would be great to be able to communicate properly instead of just gestures because some areas are hard to 100% along with the mysteries puzzles would be cool to have somebody to play along with.
The game is well made though and seems pretty popular so it will be interesting to how they continue to support it. It's set up like a live service game and a type of live service game I'd be willing to support. 60 hours in so far and maybe the same amount again until I'll have nothing left to do other than mop up a few areas.

Sadly the studio shut down all further development.
