Round 1...

Still haven't finished Tears of the Kingdom. I mostly wanted to share the end with family. They already saw all the shorts uncovered during the game so they have an idea of what's going on.
In the middle of Starfield now and still enjoying it, though it's not quite grabbing me the same way an Elder Scrolls or Fallout would.
I'm also trying some indie games out that I saw at PAX West. Some are in alpha demos, some early release, some fully released. All at least interesting and worth a gander.
-
Still working on Baldur's Gate 3. Some people I know say they've got save game files that are 90 hours long and they haven't even left Act 1 yet...
-
working through a new map in Timberborn (https://timberborngame.com/), trying to get a feel for the current Folktails set up in different maps while waiting to see if the new experimental build features (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1062090/view/7034115464063354887) will be added to the main build or not. having 'bad water' to deal with sounds interesting, but the idea of 'bad tides' where all the normal water sources start spewing it is less attractive.. i kinda hope they don't adopt that bit. (i'd rather see the additions of 'wet seasons' with just extra water output, instead. make people have to build some extra slack into their water management.

I reached 100% completion on 8-Bit Hordes yesterday. Got an acquaintance who's really good at the game to help me beat the final co-op campaign mission with every objective complete, which was the barrier to the only achievements I was missing. Took us 3-4 tries.
Now to get the final achievement on 8-Bit Armies, and I'll have completed the entire 8-Bit RTS trilogy.
-
Just finished first playthrough of STARFIELD, and now I look to my back catalog...ALAN WAKE to get ready for ALAN WAKE II, MILES MORALES to get ready for SPIDER MAN 2, restart CYBERPUNK as PHANTOM LIBERTY.
Heck I still need to play Dishonoured 2, and PREY 2, as well as I got those as pack.
-
Still mindless drone, playing War Robots and it's not so hot War Robots: Frontier (Steam)
-
Started playing Touhou: Hero of Ice Fairy for the first time on steam
-
Played through the NERF World in Minecraft Bedrock Edition. I liked it quite a bit, actually, but I have a few complaints with it. The most damaging blaster in the game, the Ender Dragon, is also horribly unreliable, which makes crowd control a pain. Crowd control is important, of course, when the game is choosing to spawn your enemies pretty much right next to you anytime new mobs spawn, which can lead to you getting beaten to death by mobs of mobs really quickly with little warning and no recourse in some rounds.
There's a part of me that wonders how it would go in co-op; this isn't necessarily a single-player world, it's just how I played it because none of my other Minecraft-playing (Bedrock or otherwise) friends were online at the time. This world is free, you can claim it on the Marketplace right now and play it for yourself if you want to. In fact, consider inviting me along for the ride. I want to see if the rounds are any easier with an extra person shooting. lol
On the other hand, it might take longer to unlock all the blasters in co-op, with the currency potentially getting spread around to each player individually, so I suppose that can wait until at least some of the blasters are unlocked. In any case, I recommend giving it a try.
EDIT: Turns out the currency is in fact shared! And yeah, co-op makes everything better!
-
Started a game of X-COM the other day. It's amazing how much tension they bake in to that game.

I'm currently way deep into Jagged Alliance 3 and truth be told, will probably be busy with it for the rest of the year at least. There's a future Baldur's Gate 3 co-op campaign penciled with some friends some time in the future. We might start around the Xmas break. It took us like 4 months to finish Divinity Original Sin 2, so...
-
star valor
its an indie game tha tone person worked on for past 8 years plus fun and still in active development
-
robocop new game in december...i am looking t play that its a fps according to articles i saw online
-
Yeah, though Steam has it inexplicably listed as an RPG.
-
btw speaking of robocop and halloween at least in USA my friend had one of the original stunt suits from robocop 2 he forked almost 6k usd...but that was almost 17 years back
-
Enjoying the story of Fate\Samurai Remnant; given that I'm a FGO player, I easily recognize many of the servants except for a few
That evade is still clunky to use though
-
Played Minecraft Java Edition for several hours this morning, something I haven't done in some time; mostly I spend time on Bedrock Edition. Joined a new SMP, and I'm once again trying something a little different. Building a house out of concrete. lol
-
Funny, I've been only playing on a singular Java based Minecraft server which was modified for naval warfare. I don't play as often as I'd like too, but fun when enough people can be on to man the ships properly.
Most of the public servers I used to go to which were survival are gone now. I don't know if I like single player. It just not the same for me.
-
ok cities skylines 2
took me few hours to get the thing to work seems i was not only one having issue to even get it to start thanks to error volumetric materials.well there is a fix for it...and had been playing it
fix is on reddit...
but so far so good...in few weeks ill take a look what mods will be available for it but it seems modders are out of the gate and modding

I'm gathering the performance increases dramatically if you disable tilt shift filters.

I'm gathering the performance increases dramatically if you disable tilt shift filters.
to be honest had not noticed the only thing i killed in it was shadows bit because it hurt my eyes and made me nausious
only one time i felt like that was with old fps red faction in early 2000
found out later it was due to refresh rate on old monitors
-
Well,finished Marvel's Spider-Man 2 yesterday. Great game, highly recommend. Now back to Baldur's Gate 3 to try things I didn't try in my last playthrough.

Hahaha - in the final Stretch for Spider-Man 2 and after that it's on to ALAN WAKE 2...Baldur's gate - I'll get back to you soon...

Did you get to the third act twist yet? If you have to ask what it is, you haven't.

Did you get to the third act twist yet? If you have to ask what it is, you haven't.
Then likely not
-
Tried Cult of the Lamb while it was free for the week on Switch. Felt too much like a job.
-
For those of you who have been playing Baldur's gate 3, how is the game in your opinion?
-
It's not hyperbole to call it one of the greatest RPGs ever made.

yep think of it along lines of fallout 2 smashed toghether with fallout 4
with d and d motif
but its still good only if they fixed the mini map issue i would go back to playing it.

It's a rarity in today's video game market: a game that was given a leisurely development cycle with a team that was passionate about the project and allowed to work on getting it right initially instead of being forced to work on a tight deadline to get out for the Christmas rush with tons of microtransactions crammed into it for extra monetization.
The sheer depth of details in the game is amazing- there are tons of dialog options that are dependent on your race, class, and background. If you're playing a wizard, you have the option to go into full fanboy/fangirl mode upon meeting Elminster. Playing a paladin lets you invoke your oath to bypass some charisma checks in order to get NPCs to trust you. A Duergar, Drow, or Deep Gnome gets special dialog about going into the Underdark. The hardest difficulty mode, Tactician, doesn't make enemies stronger of tougher, it makes them smarter. You can easily put 150 hours into a single playthrough and still not find everything there is in the game.

This is something that Swen/Larian has pursued intentionally from the start. It comes from a place of wanting to make the best damned RPG come hell or high water, not to build a business. Both are honorable pursuits and there's a lot to be said about the sustainability of the latter. We learned in our aviation small business coursework that you really do need to be a plane nut second and businessperson first to make an airport FBO survive (and even then...). But sometimes circumstances align through a combination of long hard work and luck to build both a surviving business and a great game and that's what Larian has done.
I don't think they would have been in this position if it weren't for Kickstarter. They leveraged their reputation through three really good middle-tier RPGs (Divine Divinity, Beyond Divinity, Divinity II) and created Original Sin I and II and the latter gave them the credibility they needed to get the coveted Baldur's Gate license. And they ran away with it because they'd learned so many lessons from those first five games. Things about quest design and 3D perspective in DII, deep story and interface from DD, how to kill your babies (namely the day, night cycle) and sustaining your story till the end from D:OS I. It's all been building up to this point and will be a top 25 historical classic.
And I say all that as a die-hard Ultima VII fan. I loved the gameplay, interface, and combat. But I know an RPG couldn't thrive in a modern market using those dated design choices, as much as I love them. I'm content to have something like Skyrim which gets the closest to that sort of experimental, functioning world that I remember.

Oh do I know that. I am into Act III (took a break to other things), but there are things in Act I and Act II I only found out about by watching the odd video that mentioned places I had not even GLIMPSED!.
Multiple play throughs, o yeah, the game has it!
-
Over the course of a couple days, a couple of friends and I went through a Civilization: Beyond Earth – Rising Tide playthrough. 3v5 bots match. One friend pursued the Harmony affinity, the other aimed for Supremacy, so I took the hybrid affinity of the two more often than not.
We were originally pursuing a Transcendence victory, but after taking too many capitals in defensive wars against the bots, we decided to get the Domination victory instead. Was fun, honestly. I don’t think I’ve cleared a Civilization since Revolution for Xbox 360.
I was ARC, my friends were the Slavic Union and Franco-Iberia. By any measure, I had the most effective spies on my team, though I seldom told them what I was doing. Slavic Union’s spy network floundered, while the Franco-Iberians had a relatively decent run with theirs. lol
-
Played Silica recently. A combination FPS and RTS game, one player plays the commander of a given faction, while units, which otherwise behave like normal RTS units, are allowed to be commandeered by the said commander or by other players assuming direct control as part of the commander's team.
I like what it's putting down, but it needs a lot of work. Unit pathing is the worst I've seen in an RTS since LEGO Battles for Nintendo DS; honestly, it's probably even worse than that. Too many times, I needed to micromanage my army around obstacles that in any other RTS game they could navigate around just fine; in cases where they got stuck, I had to control them directly in FPS mode to unstick them, and sometimes even that wasn't possible, or took way too long that nothing worthwhile got done for nearly a full minute, which is devastating in an RTS game.
Had fun with it, though, mostly because I was playing with friends against bot-controlled enemies.
-
About 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through ALAN WAKE 2 - pretty awesome game!
-
Anyone playing RoboCop: Rogue City? Hype? Or actually decent?
-
microcivilization
still in early access but it seems to have solid bones to build on so far
-
I've actually been revisiting Dishonored 2. Playing as Corvo which I've not done before as I found the different powers of Emily more fun on the first pass.
Actually playing the whole series beginning to end having polished off my seventh or eighth replays of W3, Days Gone, and HZD.

I've been playing Star Ocean 2 and Super Mario RPG on the Switch. On the Steams I've been going through Kingdoms of Amalur and Fallout 4 (mostly research for my tabletop group going through the Modiphius game).
-
ok microcivilization was fun but too repetitive so it got old fast
i just found stellar tactics still in development but it feels like almost as its finished. game is sort of like x com mixed with final fantasy 7 for ps 1 had a baby and its good
-
Finished ALAN WAKE II - Awesome game - love the Remedy Surrealism!
Now I am onto my Re-playthrough of CYBERPUNK 2077. With all the changes etc to how the game worked, I figured best to just start all over play from the begining.
-
I am two thirds complete with Civilization: Beyond Earth. Don't know why I decided to be a completionist for this game, but the objectives seemed within my reach, and those that aren't, I have friends willing to assist as time permits.
Amusingly, there's one achievement I need that I may have actually become literally too good at the game to unlock by playing against bots. Gotta get beaten to 10 wonders, and to date I've only been beaten to 2; I'm pretty sure both of those were from my very earliest attempts at playing, where I was on my own and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I think I can get a friend to help with this one; go onto a Duel map or whatever, tech as quickly as possible without building wonders, communicate with the friend about which wonders they're building, then let them get them ahead of me as I queue up the same wonders. Effectively, challenge my friend to a wonder race and throw it.
Gonna be heading back into it tonight after work, after checking out my loyalty ’Mechs in MWO, since the patch will probably have released by the time I get home; I'm specifically interested in the Wolfhound IIC. Gonna camospec it as close to the BattleTech: Legends art as I can. lol
-
Ten achievements away from 100% completion in Civilization: Beyond Earth now. Gotta clear it with four more of the playable factions, get beaten to 8 more wonders, build all the artifact wonders in the game, complete all the marvel quests, beat the game on maximum difficulty… Oh, and buy a bunch of tiles with energy. That’s going to take some doing. lol
Also, I got Pizza Tower. Gonna be looking forward to trying to complete that too.
-
the mario rpg remaster. delightful in every way.
-
Been trying Persona 5 Tactica.
It's mostly fun, though I do dislike that it lacks the non-combat stuff of the original game or Strikers. And setting up the new All Out Attack, Triple Threat, is annoyingly difficult outside of the tutorial zones.
-
Heads Will Roll: Reforged, an ''authentic medieval dating simulator'' :grin:
Ignore waifus, focus on roguelite hacking up the enemies, while raging at RNG and laughing at story.

Just revisited Super Mario Land 2: The Six Golden Coins via Switch Gameboy catalogue. I do remember the time as a kid that I Manage to make it to Wario's castle but I ending up dying a lot in the booby trapped room with the fists going up and down pounding the floor. That part frustrated me.
-
That's a really great example of how Nintendo learned to manage the limitations of the medium and make a great gameplay experience. The first SMB Land title was just really weak, almost worthy of a TI-83 game. 6 Golden Coins was a proper game.
-
Super Mario Land was a launch title for the game boy so it should be regarded as an expensive tech demo. Development probably started in 1987. For context, that team would have pushed out Metroid and Kid Icarus the previous year. Mario Land 2 was post-super famicom so the dev tools would have been like moving from a washboard to industrial washing machine.
-
been playing the new "Star Trek Infinite" game. it is a lot less like Stellaris than people assumed at first, though you can definately see that said game served as a core skeleton for it.
while i haven't progressed past the initial tutorial mode game session (want to run through it till 'victory' date just to see how it goes.. though honestly there isn't much challenge at this point since at tutorial settings, it was really easy to build the federation into a powerhouse and outpace all the others.)
general impressions though.. i feel like there is a gameplay vs aesthetic vs narrative disconnect in it, and it is something thay can't really address without major reworks.
because you start the game with a fairly tiny federation that has little more than the 4 core members and a few of the surrounding systems. you are expected to expand this, discover your neighbors like the betazoids, the Acamarians, the hypurians, the Trill, Bajor, etc.. and then using diplomacy or conquest (depending on how you play, you can actually take the 'section 31' route to things) incorporate those into your nation.
all well and good. core stellaris tyle 4x gameplay there. actually has an improvement over stellaris, since you can use diplomacy to intergrate NPC powers more directly, rather than having to go the convoluted route of creating client states first. and the incorporation of logistical concerns makes you have to think more about deploying your fleets (only science ships and 'hero ships' like the enterprise D can go anywhere). it makes for a good balance given they got rid of stellaris's hyperlanes.
the disconnect is two fold..
first, the timeline feels weird. because as i said, you have a tiny federation, one that matches say, the late 22nd century, right after the romulan war and at the birth of the federation. yet the narrative timeline is that it is right after the Khitomer massacre, in the early 24th century, long after most of the minor powers on the map are supposed to have already joined the federation. further, the units you build are anachronistic. your basic corvette type ship is a Miranda variant, sure. and your cruiser is a Excelsior.. but your Destroyer type, which you pick up very early? the Intrepid class. which feels very out of place. you actually get the intrepids before you get the Enterprise D and Galaxy class. which is just weird. i feel like they should have picked a different class for that destroyer role. Constellation class maybe?
making it weirder, the technologies just don't feel right either. despite taking place (narratively) just prior to TNG era wise, you don;t actualyl start with any of the classic technologies. you don't have photon torpedoes, you have "plasma charges", you don't have phasers, you have "particle beams". at least in the ship construction side, it feels more like the early federation/ENT era that the map does. the fact you have to do a ton of research to get phasers and photon torpedoes is another disconnect from the narrative setting. though the planetary side of things feels more TNG at least, when it comes to tech and upgrade naming.
and as you play you get more and more narrative dissonance.. you have random events with references to ships going to the gamma quadrant not long after the khitomer narrative event.. despite the fact that there is no bajoran wormhole. like wise you get a whole chain of borg related events, including janeway showing up.. yet at no point is there any build up for such, like mention of a ship going missing.
and so on. i feel like it suffered some mid-development detours.. like it probably was being envisioned originally as using an ENT/TOS era framing, but then someone decided "no we need to have picard and janeway and sisko" and thus we ended up with a veneer of TNG ship models, some TNG namedrop events, and some half hearted renaming of the planet management options.
i can only hope that updates fix some of this, either through fixing the weird anachronisms of the map, ship models, and tech tree, or through the addition of 'era variants' for ENT/TOS visuals and alternate event chains that better fit the feel.
don't get me wrong, it's fun to play, and if you like stellaris style grand strategy, it'll probably be ebjoyable to you. but as a trek fan, some of the decisions they made are really baffling.

Mario Land 2 was post-super famicom so the dev tools would have been like moving from a washboard to industrial washing machine.
I remember as a kid being weirded out by just how different Super Mario Land was from the NES Super Mario games. It felt even less like Mario than Super Mario 2 (which was a reskinned version of a completely unrelated game).
-
ok speaking of super mario bros...i bet if any of us played it today either in arcade or on nintendo we would die many times before we reached world 2 - 1 or even remember where the 2 warp zones were
btw used the nintendo original hardware and tmnt to punish my kids...
omagine being a gamer and being tortured by a game so hard to beat you want to swear off games
-
I think the skills and timing come back pretty quick. I'd have trouble on an arcade stick, though. I've just never gotten used to the kind of throw and force a joystick needs.
-
IIRC, modern emulations of games from that era have a bit of lag compared to the original cartridges. It's supposedly one of the reasons that retro gamers try to avoid emulations.

It depends on the emulation. There's multiple ways to go about dealing with playing those games, but only replicating the hardware in software would replicate the frame-by-frame timing needed to actually execute the sorts of moves needed by speed runners. This, of course, means you need powerful enough hardware to run the emulated machine at full speed.
The corollary to that is that companies like Analogue make FPGA equipment that also replicate hardware and do the best job of running your old cartridges accurately.
I do both. Sometimes I want total fidelity. Other times I don't mind going through Super Mario World with a bluetooth 8bitdo controller. It depends on the mood and purpose.
-
made some progress in Metroid Prime Remastered, manage to defeat the giant Sheegoth and got the wave beam.
What I did is get slightly close to it, before it breathes ice on me, I did a double strafe jump after it stop breathing ice, I strafe jumped back to the front and fired missiles at its mouth. Rinse and repeat
-
ok went through some old files and disks
found old ps1 game carnage heart by altus
damn i missed it and not even knew it program build battle just cant go wrong
-
playing more satisfactory, and Fixmas event (again)
I am currently working on the last elevator project, the one involving thrusters, and nuclear pasta
I am kind of looking forward to the Dyson sphere project, update that is scheduled to drop on the 15th.
also playing some of the return to Moria yesterday, finally got the T2 gauntlet recipe, and the steel sword (t2) yesterday, still trying to find the path to the lower deeps out of the mine area

I'm keeping my eye on Lightyear Frontier (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1677110/Lightyear_Frontier/), aka what looks like an Agromech Simulator.
For other games, I still enjoy Startopia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startopia)

Doing the Indigo Disk DLC story in Pokemon Violet.
-
Finally beat Persona 5 Tactica.
It was fun, mostly, but the game largely provides you with the way to beat each level, so once you figure it out there's not a lot of challenge. Also, the game really limits how much money you can earn, which makes trying to fuse high level personas that require you to get a lot of expensive personas from your list an exercise in annoyance. I don't think it's worth playing through again just to pick up the last few achievements.
So back to Baldur's Gate 3, especially given the new epilogues added in Patch 5 and the ability to recruit Minthara without siding with the goblins in Act 1!

the newest one wh40k rouge traders
have to grugenlly admit i am enjoying it some what...
nice story easy to get into combat system turn based and so far easy to get into sort of like original x com from 1992 fast enough and game so far does not feel like its rushing you so you will not how crappy it is...visuals are very nicely rendered controls are intuitive and story line does not make you eat the lore of wh40k
i will have to implant my foot up my friends bum for dropping it of at my place...but with love and care
-

More like sacrilege that it took you so long.
40k games are some of my all-time favorites.
BFG, Dawn of War, BOLTGUN, Space Marine-- to name just a few of the masterpiece titles for your electronic enjoyment.
Purge the Xenos, already!!

not really i had a bad encounter about 25 plus years ago with a warhammer twitwaffle that made me stay away from the whole thing that had anything to do with warhammer40k.
this was when mall hobby stores were a thing and gamers were flocking to them to play...
-
Yeah, I can kick myself for selling my Necron Army right when the 4th Gen came out...
Now while most of them have been retired from the game, a local store near me happened to be running an older Gen 2 game as a demo...
I happily played a run with them, even showed up with my old Polaroids of my Army the next time I was there. Turns out, I could have gotten five times the amount I sold them, based off my Polaroid pictures. Like $2k and I had more not even pictured.
But alas, tis gone...

Just discovered a demo game that's mech based called Kriegsfront Tactics on steam. It's a Front Mission style game (early, like turn style type.)
Really fun, I can't wait for the full on game comes out.
-
Been playing Barony with my partners lately, trying to get as far as we can. It’s a really hard game.
I’ve been playing an Automaton Mechanist, while my partners seem to tend toward a succubus and a skeleton, respectively. The succubus is our healer, and the skeleton is a monk who seems to prefer picking up axes instead of staying unarmed as the class would normally play. I believe the furthest we’ve gone was somewhere between Floor 10 and Floor 18. We don’t know how many floors there are.

allrighty then

-
Did a random number generator to relieve some decision paralysis about which of my 700 unplayed steam games to try out.
The wheel of fate gave me The Forgotten City. It’s a trippy time travel / time loop game where you end up in the Roman Empire and have to solve a supernatural mystery. Pretty good voice acting and an interesting story so far
-
ok silly independent game
choo choo charles
silly mix of horror and comedy rolled into one
you are invited to an island to obtain a special item for a museum ...monster is like thomas the tank engine but with 8 legs and it hunts you down while you try to get the item
-
If you haven't seen it already, the Stupendium has a fantastic filk song about that game called The End of the Line on YouTube.
-
Factorio and System Shock remake on the Deck. I guess I’ll be returning to the nineties after the vacation as I bought the Commander Keen series from the Steam Sale the other day 🙈
-
Yesterday I played Portal 1 (that was bundled with the Portal Companion Collection) for the Switch. TTBT, it plays very well on the Switch. I do have the original steam games though. :smiley:

League of Legends. I've been playing it for 5 years. I consider myself a veteran, but there's still much to learn. Five years is not enough to fully understand it. That's how complex this game is.
If you're a newbie starting out, some additional help can come in handy. Read as much as you can about this game, such as this League of Legends blog (https://lol-script.com/blog/), where you can find tips and strategies to play better. Watch how others play. You'll find on Youtube many streamers. Just don't give up. The first period will be hard, but you'll get the hang of it eventually. This game is worth it.

The Forgotten City was a great little game. Only 7-12 hour depending on your detective skills but full of interesting characters a number of unexpected twists.
-
Cleared Barony for the first and second time, yesterday and this morning respectively. First time was in co-op, I was mesmer succubus and my ally was a conjurer skeleton. Second time, I played conjurer skeleton alone.
My conjurer run was pretty slow going for the first half of the game on account of the skeleton’s painfully slow mana and health regen, but my conjured skeleton minions carried me through. Despite being its signature class, skeletons don’t play conjurer or other caster classes very well at all. I had a good time regardless, though. Don’t think I’ll play skeleton casters again, though. Heh.
Next, I’m trying my hand at beating the game as a punisher incubus and hunter insectoid. I want to unlock all the DLC signature classes so I can freely choose between them regardless of race by the end of the month. Humans may be able to play whatever class they want, but to play a monster’s signature class as any other monster, you have to beat the game as that monster – not necessarily their associated class, though because I’m also achievement hunting, I’m doing exactly that anyway.
-
Finished Fate Samurai Remnant on the Good Ending with 52% achievements completed on the first play though. I dislike the fact that you are cut off from completing alot of things because your never warned in advance.
Otherwise, loved the story though I wish we got more to the Good Ending
Now I just have to distract myself for another couple of weeks till Granblue Fantasy Relink comes out

After about a month break from Star Trek Online, I came back to a free coupon for a T6 ship, which I redeemed for a Dominion Vanguard Carrier for my Jem’Hadar character. So far, I like it! The wingmen in particular are very useful. I hear they’re a super effective means of power leveling as well; if I start a new non-Dominion character in the future, I might pop them into this thing for a while. My only worry is that it might backfire by leaving me horribly undergeared on ground content, but I think I can mitigate or even eliminate that by preparing ahead of time buying stuff with other characters. lol
-
Picked up Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth today.
Been fun so far, but the fact that New Game Plus mode is restricted to the Ultimate Edition of the game is really galling even if I rarely bother with it in Yakuza games.

Tekken 8
I am not joking when I say that I bought PS5 mainly for this game. I got mine today as bday present and so far I did some practice and I also played little bit arcade as well. Turns out I am liking to most play one of new character Azucena when I was so sure that I would like to play returning character Jun most. Coffee girl is really just so fun to play.
-
Coffee girl is just as fun to play as the previews made her out to be? Good to know.
Also, is Jun physically back in the story mode and not just as a flashback character or her spirit that appears to Jin or whatever?
I was very excited upon seeing Jun's reveal trailer, but I worry that it means once and for all that Asuka will never again be relevant to the game's plot and is permanently relegated to being the object of Lili's tsundere yuri crush.
-
Asuka does get to do things in story mode and help Jin alongside Lili but she got nerfed so that Jun could keep her good moves so honestly she isn't that good anymore. As far as is Jun actually being in story mode goes I can't answer that because I am not that far.
-
Received Palworld as a gift. Played it for like 9 and a half hours straight. Already I, uh, “convinced” a couple of invading Syndicate thugs to switch sides and join me instead of beating me and my Pals up and breaking my stuff.
This is going to be an interesting game. At least the player characters are easier on the eyes than the ARK player characters.
-
Disregarding the colorful animals, is it more coop or PvP focused survivor play? How's the polish feel rn?
-
I heard there are plans to implement PvP at some point, but for the moment it’s full co-op play. As for polish, I personally haven’t run into any grievous errors yet, but I’m still technically in the early game, and the game overall is still in Early Access. That being said, it all looks nice IMO.
-
Started playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder. I'm playing as Luigi. And so far it's great!

Back into Giren's Greed on my PSP. Trying for a completion run to unlock all factions and the enclyclopedia

Early this noon, I played a demo of Lightyear Frontier on Steam, and it's a very relaxing game with an Agro Mech used for farming.
-
Still playing Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. And after relentlessly doing every side mission possible I'm about ten levels above where I should be for the chapter I'm in. Really stomping my way through everything in my path.

Found a copy of Steel-Panthers: World at War that will play on my computer! I just annihilated two US-Army infantry companies with a Panzer-Grenadier Platoon and a Tiger-tank Platoon. I lost two men; they lost 249!. I guess they won't be getting a fat VA-loan in the '50's! I spread my forces on each objective, then, I bought one recon-unit, a PSW-231 8-Rad and sent him as fast as he could to the American-rear. For some reason, my mechanized infantry wouldn't mount on my SPW-251s, so, I just had them walk and use them vehicles and mobile machine-guns. Early on, I get hit by four B-25 Mitchell Bombers; I did buy a flak-unit, a SdKfz-6/2, but they didn't even fire at the bombers and it was my Tiger's AA MGs that damaged them enough not to come back. So I used the AA-Flak as anti-infantry support. The Americans were up on a hill with rough-terrain, and I had no artillery, so I used MGs and just fired away, every turn. The recon-car got behind enemey-lines, and took out the commander, and stayed behind there providing support with its 20mm's; any units that ran, got hit. I lost control of two of my Tigers; for some reason, I could only move them backwards. The biggest problem I had was running out of HE-ammo.
And I have to do something about the scroll-speed; too fast!
-
I loved the Churchill AVRE in that game, it could one-shot the dug in infantry squads.
-

Much like the Soviet's KV-2; the 152mm wouldn't one-shot the whole infantry-squad, but enough so they would disperse; and sometimes, I'd use it against tanks; one-shot would destroy a panzer in '41.

Steel Panthers: Japan v. Soviets, '41; river-advance; I bypassed the river and noticed the objectives were all along a North-South road. So I did a hook, used my tanks and SNLF-forces to go around, while my normal-infantry was cannon-fodder. I had motorcycles scouting and cavalry, that got slaughtered. I used my MGs and infantry-cannons up first, and to fire on all enemy-units, which is what they're supposed to do. I was surprised how effective the Japanese-tanks were against Soviet-tanks; the T-26 company didn't hit any of my tanks: Whereas, my tanks' 57mm cannon was more than a match for the Soviets. The biggest problem I had were some of my tanks, just wouldn't move forward and only backwards. I needed mobility and they wouldn't move.
-
And I found my Ground-Control CD, so, I'm going to install that and see if I can like it.

HELLDIVERS 2
Awesome game, and how a GAMES AS A SERVICE should be done. You travel to various planets and "Liberate them them for Democracy and Super Earth!" at the end of your mission depending how well you did, you get XP, some resources and bring said planet a little bit more under control (Think 0.0004% or somewhere there abouts). But it's not just you, everyone playing on line is contributing to the control of the planet.
Currently two factions you battle against: Robots (not fought yet), that look to be a mix of Terminators and AT-ST Walkers and not, and the Bugs
(https://i.makeagif.com/media/9-02-2023/VINDM6.gif)
Yeah, it is StarShip Troopers all the way, and it is glorious, The humor very tongue in cheek, and draws very heavily from said motif.
For Glory, For DEMOCRACY!

How's the online connection been? Because I've heard a lot of complaints about how prone the servers are to losing connection and how bad the matchmaking is.
-

Playing on a PS5
Matchmaking has been pretty good, I've not had issues, I think I've crashed (and that was whole game mind you) only once mid mission. The Character Level only means a difference in what kind of gear/strategems you can bring in (every one is max 4), and when you die, you drop any equipment you had, so...simply matter of picking back up and continuing.
heck, a Level 1 player is frankly just as powerful as a level 12, so...no issues for me.
-
So I have to turn off Orders for Steel-Panthers; I like units out of contact, but, I waste a lot of time clicking units, trying to move them only to have them only move backwards and not towards an objective; it would be great if I have all the units order and then that, effected them, but I have to move each unit one by one and it takes a lot of time with useless clicking.

Trying out Dragon Ball FighterZ. Not really a Dragon Ball fan but multiple friends recommended this game to me and so far it does seem to have a very in-depth single player campaign for a tournament fighter.

On an unrelated note, I also got Crab Champions, a game made by the person who did the Crab Rave video. Looks fun!

ok happy and annoyed at same time
battletech mod rogue tech got new update today...
sadly it kills old saves oth some things had been tweaked like artilery which i had been waiting for
-
In-between sessions of Helldivers 2, Star Trek Online, and the occasional day of MWO and Crab Champions, I'm finding time to play the newest entry in the 8-Bit RTS series, 9-Bit Armies: A Bit Too Far.
It's got a lot of familiar stuff going on from the original 8-Bit Armies. The playable factions are, effectively, the original Renegades and Guardians with new names. It also brings some new stuff with it, like naval combat and mega structures (which in this case means combining four structures of some specific types to create a bigger, stronger version of it) and a means to expand your base and economy without necessarily "base crawling" everywhere you need to be the way you usually had to in the original games.
But of course, it's an early access game, and it's got some bugs that need to be fixed. It's a fun game, though; definitely an improvement on what made the original game fun to play, as far as I'm concerned!

Yesterday in Super Mario Bros. 3 I've made it to the 7th world. Man those ice levels from the 6th world are annoying, like all ice levels. THis is through the Switch's NES Catalogue

I found my old copy of Heavy Gear II (Hey, it's non-Battletech), that I got from Electronic-Boutique, probably like, twenty-years ago. for $1.99. I remember I tried it on my old Windows Millennium PC and it wouldn't work, so, I just discarded it in the pile.

You know, with the Activision Blizzard acquisition complete, Microsoft now owns all the IP and rights to a bunch of the 90s mech games although it's missing out on MW3.
We know, of course, about the rights to Battletech video games via FASA Interactive, but Activision Blizzard brings with it Sierra's homegrown Metaltech setting (Earthsiege/Starsiege/Tribes/Missionforce:Cyberstorm) and Heavy Gear 1/2, although I don't know about the licensing agreement with Dreampod 9.
Earthsiege, for those unfamiliar with it, is a kind of Terminator-esque post-apocalyptic setting. Also in Microsoft's IP portfolio? Crimson skies, and Interstate '76 from Activision.

I don't know how it'd fare in the market today, but I tell you this: my cold, dead heart, would explode from joy :cheesy:
I don't think I'm asking for anything weird, just the obvious crossover nexus of dieselpunk dogfights and Zeppelins crossed with heavily armed muscle cars and at least two flavours of gigantic mecha.

Microsoft wanted Activision-Blizzard for WoW and the company's mobile game studio, since live service games are generally a license to print money no matter how bad they are (Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League looking to be an exception due to its decade of development time and already-dismally small player base).
But I'm certainly happy to dream of Interstate 76 being updated with modern gameplay and graphics for consoles. Fun fact: the reason the game exists is because Activision decided that after the money they'd spent on Mechwarrior 2's game engine they wanted to try making another game on it for a better return on their investment.
-
Switched to Necromancer mastery in my new playthrough for Last Epoch. I just raise armies of skeleton mages, wraiths and fire golems to kill everything I encounter, and my minions never seem to die either, even against bosses. It's kind of easy mode with this meta style, but its a great way to unwind after a long day. azn

Big live service games are generally a huge fiscal sink unless they explode onto the market and can maintain their player base. They simply have far too many ongoing costs, from servers to moderation and community engagement to a stream of new content.
Especially if they aren't charging subscription fees, they need to continuously be churning new content with good uptake rates just to keep the lights on, and you'll never get the slow burn or long tail of games with small but devoted bases or that explode in popularity years after release due to being rediscovered by say, a streamer with a huge viewership or going viral on social media.
There are exceptions like Eve Online, but they aren't really mass market endeavours either. I guess Star Citizen is effectively a live service game where they continually sell content to keep making payroll...
-
Ooooo....it's not the exception, it's just the latest in a long list:
https://www.thegamer.com/live-service-games-shut-down-quickly/
No, it's the exception in that it had a long and expensive development time. Most live service games do not and consequently it's actually really easy for the studio to make a profit even if the game doesn't last too long.
This is because of microtransactions. Put in a whole lot of microtransations and pay-to-win mechanics and you'll get players who will drop thousands of dollars into the game on gatcha. Only a small percentage of the player base is willing to do this, but that small percentage spends enough to insure that the game makes money anyway, even if support for it is dropped in less than a year. It's why companies like Square and EA are still pushing live service games even with how many high-profile flops there have been.
And then you get into the field of mobile games, which has become almost entirely dominated by live service gatcha type games that are all basically just the same game with different skins.

Is there a map-editor for Heavy Gear II?
Also, back in the day, I remembered Microsoft's games were exclusive and expensive like Age of Empires and Close Combat; critics were raving about them; now, I can find them for $0.50 cents at the local library used book-stores. (Age of Mythology, anyways).

Steel Panthers again;
Japan vs. USMC '44, Assault. Japan-side; I dug my forces in, and got a patrol boat that went actively hunted down Landing-boat. I got three of them, but, I had C&C on, so I couldn't command my boat to move. The USMC landed their mortars and tanks first, which were easy-picking for my 47mm ATGs and my infantry. My plan was to resist the landing at a few points, then, stage ambushes along the route to the objectives. It worked; I got scores of USMC vehicles hit. I was surprised how many kills I got hitting Sherman-tanks with 47mm rounds. Well, because of C&C, I couldn't move any of my forces. So, my initial plan failed. I did get a strong-point with 150mm cannon that was very effective against the landing-craft. Some highlights were, an 70mm Infantry gun took out a USMC LVT, with one surviving crew, that jumped out and took out the cannon! I had a squad inside a house that was surrounded; they used flame-throwers and grenades and still, they lasted several-turns, with the house literally on fire!
Right now, I'm Germans v. Poland, Sept, '39. The Poles aren't that easy to roll over; I've got a Panzer Company and mechanized, two Panzer-Grenadier companies and their infantry is slowing me down and I'm taking moderate-losses. They love to shoot at my scout-motorcycles.

Been playing Tekken 8. Much better story mode than 7, and the Character Episodes are much better than the one-off battles. I am rather annoyed that the game has costumes for some of the characters that are updated versions of their classic Tekken and Tekken 2 outfits, like Nina's catsuit, Marshall Law's classic Bruce Lee tracksuit, or King's button-down shirt with suspenders and tie. And made them all paid DLC.
Still enjoying the game a lot. Hope that they focus on a more balanced approach when it comes to DLC characters and gives us more old favorites from the start rather than stuffing a whole lot of crossover characters and new characters who are basically the same as old characters.

tekken is up to 8?

Eight numbered games, plus two non-canon tag-battle games (called Tekken Tag Tournament and Tekken Tag Tournament 2, very imaginative, I know), and some spinoffs that didn't do very well. Also an animated movie based on the second game, a poorly-rated live action movie based on the first, and an anime series on Netflix loosely based on the third. Plus two crossover games with Street Fighter (one of which was never released outside of Japan). And a comic book at some point.
It's not exactly as big as Street Fighter, but it's done pretty well.

Beat the Overlords campaign to 9-Bit Armies. Twice, once on Easy and once on Normal difficulty.
It turns out the Overlords are in fact the previously nameless opposing faction to the Renegades in the original 8-Bit Armies campaign, back when the Renegades were the only faction in the game but the game still needed an enemy to beat; this is the canon explanation for why their tech is exactly the same, because the Renegades stole all of it from the Overlords. Some time-travel shenanigans undid the Eternal Commander's – that is, the player character of those games – involvement in the war that set the course for everything that happened throughout the original 8-Bit RTS trilogy. So the Renegades are no more, because there was no Eternal Commander to lead them to victory against the Overlords in this version of the setting, and the Overlords stomped out the Guardians for the most part, whom originally rose up to oppose the Renegades; what resistance cells remain reorganized into the Sentinels, who are the Overlords's primary opposition in the 9-Bit Armies campaign.
Honestly, I'm probably the only one here who cares about this, but hey, I'm having a good time with it. Looking forward to the Sentinels campaign, which I expect will take place after the Overlords campaign as is seemingly tradition with this series. lol
-
Beat the Overlords campaign to 9-Bit Armies. Twice, once on Easy and once on Normal difficulty.
That's funny. I just bought the game today.
-
Oh yeah? Maybe we could play together at some point! :D
I beat it again on Hard today, in co-op mode. I am now very ready for the Sentinels campaign whenever that's coming. For now, though, I'm probably gonna focus on achievement hunting what's presently possible. Gonna need a human player for an ally when I attempt to fight 6 Hard bots; there's an achievement for doing that specifically, apparently.
-
Maybe a little bit till I am ready to play other players, I've never ever played the series ever.
I'm still just dabbling while I'm working. I'll let you know if I'm freed up and know how to play. Lol

Fair enough! It's a good game, even in its early-access stage!

For those that loved Ogre Battle on the SNES and Ogre Battle 64 on the N64, Unicord Overlord is indeed going to be your jam. It doesn't surpass either but it definitely scratches that itch for RTS army maneuvering combined with JRPG squad battles and experience gain.

I remember playing Crying Suns and it was... okay. I liked the atmosphere and art for sure, but the tactical combat and events* certainly had me missing FTL.
*Crying Suns had an insufficiently deep amount of events available that they almost always began to repeat. And the push-your-luck risk element was gone too because the events had preset resolutions instead of being probability based. Ie, this character would always betray you, and that faction was always trustworthy, etc.

UQM is an open-source fan-made remake of SC2, I imagine one of the main things is that it has some more content and is playable on more modern systems than the original (oh, I don't want to count the hours spent on the original back in the day) :cheesy:
One of these years I'll have the time to try this one out myself. But before that I've got some spaghetti to refactor and more production lines to be added in Factorio :tongue:

urquan masters was indie expansion of original sc2 it had been around even before sc by stardock by years
it is even on android it was ported after android just became a staple of tablets...
it was i think one of the first games that fandom really expanded on and had been steadly build up on and yes its team still works on it as far as i can tell and been at at since late 2001 early 2002

UQM is an open-source fan-made remake of SC2, I imagine one of the main things is that it has some more content and is playable on more modern systems than the original (oh, I don't want to count the hours spent on the original back in the day) :cheesy:
One of these years I'll have the time to try this one out myself. But before that I've got some spaghetti to refactor and more production lines to be added in Factorio :tongue:
i still enjoy original on sega emulator. abandon ware sites have it but game seems to be broken and even when you run it in dos emulation
i think gog has it too...just checked they do original 1 and 2 pack with sc 3
-
I know Stardock has SC I and II as a pack on Steam.
-
my fave race is still suicidal rackoons
and i still giggle at syreen penertator,,,if you are still not giggling at it you lie!
Those two ships sucked the most, so, I think I either destroyed, or almost got an Ur-Quan, with a Scout, without blowing up.
I couldn't take the Syreen's seriously, but I probably could get good at stealing crew.
Star-Control 1, for Sega Genesis, when I first got it, was the only game I stayed up all night, to play it!

you kidding? my buddy and i would have marathon weekends on original sc on genesis...one pizza place refused to send out delivery because drivers would stay and play with us lol
-
ok just got my copy of front mission 2
installed it was about to start...and guess who got called in to fix emergency between neighbors....
well the mood is gone ill play tomorrow and i swear ill make their petty squabble look like a vacation in candy land...both know i will do it too
-
So Helldivers II grew on me a little bit. I think I play it a little more than the partner I usually play it with does these days. I actually outrank him now. lol
I also have one achievement left to unlock. Gotta get some folks together to help me throw six orbital barrage stratagems into one place. Can't manage that with randos, I don't think. Probably gonna go for it on a low-difficulty drop, where the consequences don't matter a whole lot.
I wonder which barrages count for the purposes of the achievement. There are two I am pretty certain count. If the walking barrage counts too, then it's probably doable with two people, but I don't know that for certain yet.

Yep - I need that one as well, but I was able to get the achievement with my son of the Level 7+ Drop where no one fires their main weapon, so we did a defense drop (the ones where you just sit at the drop sit killing Bugs) and tossed out soo many turrets/orbital bombs. We also did the strip the arms off a hulk and extract with it still alive.

on 3 hours i am locking my door shutting off the phone and put sign up unless world is ending go away and if it is ending still go away
and going off line for 6 hours so i can finally play front mission 2
-
i am not sure if i should be flattered happy or really POD
i specifically shut myself off and insulated myself so i can have at least 6 hours to myself and play frnt missions 2
something i had been looking foreward to for about a month.
just to have my neighbors bang on the door with few of my friends...
to see if i was ok since i went dark
wasted 8 hours with them lost my fun time until this evening...
well about 2 hours in into game so far its fun graphics are an improvement story is fun ai seem to be come ill give you a hug to more come here (it smiles)and bites your legs off and then gives you the puppy eyes. some things had changed in controls you cant earn money in arena since i had not seen one extra cash and stuff can be earned in training but game seems to balance out more another fun one over first one is ability to switch ammo...but so far i had not done it
standard missions destroy defend obtain
well found an arena so looks like that was carried over from first remake
-
i got an Analogue Pocket so pokemon red is required
-
Still completely stuck on fixing my earlier spaghetti in Factorio and happy sorting out my issues. Also, I need lots more trains so my factory ends up looks like anything in Transport Tycoon!
i think gog has it too...just checked they do original 1 and 2 pack with sc 3
You know you're an enabler, right? :grin:
-
Lordy I love the original Transportation Tycoon. My computer can't run the thing.

you too? open source version does work tho on win 10
i wish i could get locomotion to work...used to love that game
-
OpenTTD has long since surpassed the original and I think is free on Steam.
-
Cossacks 2; not really playing it, but using the editor; I like the Russian sprites and I'm making a map of a Russian church-town that sprang up in the middle of the forest. Unlike their previous games, like American Conquest, there's no random terrain-generator program, so, I have to get down and tedious and put each individual-tree down.
-
Been playing Descent 3 via the Piccu Engine source port which is more recent.
-
Hades 2 is out in early access. The bisexuals are eating well today. Hephestus is my personal choice for 'hottest bod' with his paunch, above-the-knee amputation, beard, muscled arms, and wheelchair. Aphrodite Aeria is doing pretty well on her own however, wearing stylized arm and leg armor, wielding spear and shield, and letting her hair do any remaining duties to modesty. And then there's Eris, goddess of discord, with her buzz-cut, big gun, and skirt so short...
Oh, and the gameplay's nice to.
-
In Tiberium-Sun, I usually milk the enemy bases for kills; I disable them, so they can't fire ion-cannons or missiles at me, then, I let them produce and attack me. However, I got owned that this base took over other bases, and I had to destroy their contruction-yard, messing up my plans for thousands of units killed! :(

New warbond in Helldivers II dropped this morning. In an objective sense, it's far from ideal; general consensus seems to be, it's the worst one yet.
I have it, but I don't have any of its content unlocked yet, so I haven't tried any of it myself to determine if it really is as bad as people are reporting, at least for my purposes. I do hope that these weapons get some adjustments to make them better by the time I get to unlocking them, though. Same for some of the stuff we've got already.
Arrowhead's CEO mentioned they were going to be re-evaluating their approach to balance on Twitter; it seems they, or at least he, noticed an undesired pattern as well. I'm not as hardline about these sorts of things as some other people, but I can see kind of where people are coming from.
In other news, the major order is nearly complete. If we can tough it out, we might be able to clear things up before time... I'm kinda tired of fighting Terminids. Never been a fan of fighting them, really. Give me more Automatons to fight, and I'll be happy. lol
-
several hours ago I finished the main story of Touhou: Hero of Ice Fairy but...not 100% complete because I need to do all Challenge mode fights in order to get the true ending, funny enough
-
I am currently in the middle of Planet Crafter, kind of a hybrid between an FPS base builder with Satisfactory vibes, Surviving Mars the video game or Terraforming Mars the board game, and No Man's Sky if you restricted it to just one planet or area.
The terraforming part is obviously unrealistically compressed (there's not, like, generations of humans), but if you roll with it it's lots of fun to watch the sky turn blue and then water filling up basins. There's a number of biomes and mysterious crashed spaceships to explorer and the tech progression is generally satisfying. I quite like the game as a kind of different take on the terraforming idea.
-
I'd be playing Homeworld 3. But apparently I need a new laptop. I should probably finish off Super Robot Wars 30 and Front Mission 1 on Switch first.

That's what we call a, "Shake N' Bake", colony. I also saw pictures of two-large moons, which isn't plausible, given the orbital-dynamics. But it's sci-fi.
Edit: and I'd like to see the characters in the game grow old and be replaced by their next of kin etc. But, a game can only do so much.
-
Unicorn Overlord; complete game, not the Demo. Absolutely love this game and the customization for your squads is quite enjoyable. Also very punishing too if you mess up; Thank Heavens permadeath is not a thing unlike the Fire Emblem series

For sure. It's basically an aesthetic for the vibes. I'm really enjoying it.

Have you played Ogre Battle or Ogre Battle 64 before? That's the lineage.

Trying Fallout 4 again after having not played since 2017.
Honestly, the game was fairly ugly when it was brand new and the graphics are a whole lot worse now.

I must be easily pleased. Most anything in the XB 360 and later era has seemed fine for me. Maybe just becoming a fogey.

Eh, I'm just doing things like looking at how a "rock" is obviously a pile of flat edges with a "rocky" texture applied to the surface and even games that were FO4's contemporaries, like Horizon Zero Dawn, were putting a lot more effort into graphical stuff, much less modern games. The game was released almost a decade after FO3, on the next generation of game systems, yet there really wasn't that much progress made on the graphics. That's unimpressive.

I've heard of Ogre Battle and Ogre Battle 64 but never really played them; didn't know they had a connection to Unicorn Overlord

Ogre Battle was one of my favorite SNES games. If you work the lineage backwards, combine the slow RTS placement of units in Unicorn with the breadth of class changes from Final Fantasy Tactics and you'll get the idea. The other big element was an alignment system. Evil and good units worked best with their own, city liberation usually preferred good units, and fighting higher level enemies raised your alignment while beating down on lower level enemies lowered it. In this way you could recruit and steer whether a dragon became a virtuous metal dragon or an evil zombie dragon.

Homeworld 3.
I've issues with it, which pains me to admit as a fan since the start. Pacing seems off, no time to regroup and missions
start automatically. Which means regrouping and rebuilding aren't something you can do, prior to moving forward. Then there's
units, which seem appallingly fragile in comparison to the originals.
But it's very pretty, and the Paul Ruskay soundtrack is as fantastic as earlier versions.

I just installed Steel Panther's MBT on my advanced computer (that runs on XP). I was surprised it actually worked. The graphics, were all fuzzy. I think that one on a CRT-monitor, fuzzy-graphics are less noticeable because, everything's fuzzy; all the time.
I have to figure out how to speed up my mouse in the game.
