It doesn't seem like you are enjoying this hobby. I can't remember reading any positive comments about any games you've been playing.

Maybe gardening is more for you?
"Why are these stupid bugs ruining my flowers?" "Why was this soil made so hard?"

Why is this idiot on d-pad life wasting my time with a dumb post?

I've recently praised multiple games including The Pirates of Dark Water on the SNES, Might Morphin Power Rangers on the SNES, and Warrior Blade Rastan III.

Fuck off snowflake, I'm not here to post things for your specific enjoyment.

I tried playing this He-Man game that OpenBOR fans go on and on about all the time. What a piece of trash. This game has the most awkward looking animations. I played as Lion-O, who is in this game because of the He-Man/Thundercats comic book crossover I guess. He is a warrior...with a FUCKING...SWORD. Yet every time you attack someone he throws out this shitty little jab with no range. You can't hit anyone with it unless you are practically on top of them. He also has this special move that is a rising attack. Again, the animation for it looks so embarrassing. What kind of retard designed this?

Why does this game show up in every youtuber's OpenBOR recommendation video? It's like they are the Borg, they are all the same.

You've been on a b'mup tear!!!

Don't know if you've ever seen this video, but it does a great breakdown of the genre and gets into why the new "dodge roll" b'mups are whack.

I'm playing Nobody Wants to Die

And I'm loving it. Detective game set in a world similar to that of Altered Carbon. Interesting detective loop so far, sort of like a mixture of Condemned Criminal Origins and Cyberpunks brain dance scenes. Good dialogue too, slight Max Payne vibes from the main character, nice pacing. It hasn't been out for too long and is currently on sale. Only a few hours in but from what I have played so far, it seems like it is made with great care.

 

[regawdless]

I'll play that one next year once I upgraded my PC, seems like a very attractive game, visually. Already bought it some time ago, but m performance wasn't great so I put that one in hold for now.

 

[J-Roderton]

Still just Death Stranding. I think I'm getting close to the end of episode 3. I learned I can build a freaking racetrack so I'm probably going to get sidelined with this for a while once I figure out where it is.

Anyone know if I can still go back and just complete all the standard orders and little things like that after completing the main story or would it be best to finish them all up beforehand?

You can go back and max out all the various "hubs" after you beat the main story. Keep in mind that you'll still receive generic deliveries for those places.

Elden Ring... I have wasted so much time on this one, but it's my first souls game, so I keep restarting and trying new builds.

Very minor spoiler

Spoiler: Right here

You can respec your character lots of times through the game and the option becomes available fairly early on

 

[chainsaw]

Oh I know, I've played to 85% completion probably ten times, beaten it on NG three times and on NG+3 on one character. I'm prone to starting from scratch with a "theme" in mind, then deciding to delete it after a while and start from scratch again. It's absurd and I'm not proud of the OCD need to "start fresh," lolol! Admittedly though, I do prefer the early/mid-game the most and that probably plays into it.

Appreciate the friendly tip though!

 

[Kadayi]

Not playing quite yet, but planning to replay KCD over the Christmas break. I never played any of the DLC that came after release so I want to dig into that, plus it will be good to familiarise myself with the original again so I can prep the OT for KCDII.

 

[Spiders]

One of my favorite parts of the game is starting a fresh file as a wretched and scrounging and scavenging.

 

[Grinchy]

I've been really liking No Man's Sky, and I've been liking the expeditions to get awesome content for my main save. But it sure can be annoying as fuck sometimes with how unintuitive it can be.

And then you can get hit with bugs that are exclusive to you, or exclusive to VR, or are ones that have just always been around for everyone. There are quest directives that are explained so horribly in-game that even searching reddit posts and random wikis becomes way more difficult than it should be. But it really is quite good at what it's good at.

 

[HE1NZ]

Finished Mad Max. I think it's a solid 7. I had a good time with it. I can see Miller being frustrated with it because it rips off another of his Fury Road prequel ideas but does it kind of poorly as there's barely a story here. He probably wishes Kojima would remake it, with 5 hours of cutscenes.

On a side note, half the map takes place on the bottom of a dried up ocean, and to get to another half you have to climb the "beach" and then you'll see actual ruins and stuff in there. Cool environmental storytelling.

 

[TaySan]

It's a weird 3DO era fps shooter but i'm diggin it. The first enemies you fight in the game are literal asses that shoot shit at you lol
The beginning weapons in the game suck but once you get the actual guns and the jetpack the game starts to click.

Also, this difficulty selection made me laugh:

 

[The_Mike]

So I just completed Project Warlock 2.

I got mixed feelings tbh.

I really liked the first chapter, but second one felt really weak. The maps had its moments, but I found alot of annoying areas where you could get lost easily.

The first chapter I enjoyed more than the prequel. But chapter 2 is forgetable.

Will be interesting to see what they cook to chapter 3.

 

[HE1NZ]

Now playing remaster of Quake II

They changed a lot of things in it and I don't remember the game that well. Compass and more aggresive AI are new features but did enemies actually run towards alarm buttons to summon reinforcements before? Or were there medic enemies that resurrected your kills? This game was ahead of its time.

Never played Quake II with music before and turns out it kicks ass. Also never played expansions. So far the game (and remaster) is awesome.

Quake 2 was really ahead of its time and it was massive back when it got released.

I miss that time. Shooters were fast paced and awesome.

Yeah I read a lot of mixed opinions, most say it's not better than the first one.

Finished Nobody Wants to Die today. Good game.

Fun sci fi story. Love the setting and world building. It's a narrative based game with detective segments. It was fun to play something different. Some of the visuals are very impressive in scope, especially out in the open. You can watch the traffic roaming the skies from miles away, skyscrapers are ginormous.

I think I got it for £11. It's worth it for this price. Around 6 hours to complete and the pace is nice, the story is strong.

Nearing the end of disc 3 of Lost Odyssey. I'm currently fighting some ice boss. First the boss casts a spell to nullify physical attacks against it and I was like "okay. Magic attacks it is". Then the boss cast Reflect…. Now my magic attacks do no damage WTF?!??! I really hate JRPGs sometimes


Edit:

Shit! I think I have fucked myself for the current boss I'm up to. Two of the four members in my party don't rejoin until after a cutscene that leads into the boss fight. So there is no way for me to level up those members. One of them is woefully under-levelled because I didn't realise if they are not being used they don't gain experience. I'm not really sure what to do…

 

[HE1NZ]

Quake II remaster is boomer shooter perfection. I remember the game being sort of laborious to play and confusing. With new balance changes, AI behaviour and compass to help navigate complicated hubs it play so much better. Finished original campaign in a day. Couldn't stop playing. They bumped it to Quake 1 levels of awesome.

The DLC made for the Quake 1 remaster was pretty fun and refreshing. Are you going to play its counterpart in 2?

Yeah playing original expansions now but will play Quake 64 and Call of the Machine too.

Let me know which ones of those are worth playing. As much as I love these games, I always find they get old for me quickly, so I'd rather pick and play the best levels.

It's wild how Quake series nowadays is just some old shooter, yet what they were doing in Quake 2 a year before half life came out is remarkable.

This sounds exactly like what happened in my play through many years back. Ancient history now, but I was gutted at the time.

If you find a workaround to this scenario, please post here so I can know what would have saved my run all those years ago.

And good luck

I haven't tried yet, but all I can think of is levelling up the other two party members and hopefully one of them learns a new ability that might help. Looking at the spell list in the menu, there is an ability called Dispel, which might work against Reflect??

Not sure if I'll try though. I really hate grinding.

Had to set Path of Exile II aside, it was threatening to consume everything else. Also hit a wall in Act 3. If that's how it looks even in Early Access can't even image what it will be like by 1.0 Release.

Rise of the Ronin is insane in the sheer amount of content, combat styles, connections/bonds to npcs, differing storylines. Even has a encyclopedia.

It honestly eclipses Ghost of Tsushima and Assassins Creed in a lot of ways. Ghost has the edge in its painting like visuals but damn Ronin does come close at times. I do not see Assassins Creed Shadows coming anywhere close to Ronin, Ghost, Nioh 1/2 or Sekero.

Also first region is easily the size of some Assassins Creed and open world games but the save file keeps say I'm still only in the Prologue?!

New Dream Game would be a open world Nioh 3 split between Japan and Ireland with magic, fey/oni transformations and abilites building up everything from Nioh 1/2 and Ronins npc bonds, story choices and a overall very solid foundation.

Not to mention there actually are connections to Nioh and Ninja Gaiden hidden in Ronin.

Yeah Ronin is incredible. When I finished Tsushima I had no desire to replay it, but I'll probably play Ronin at least two more times.

 

[El Rey]

Helldivers 2. I think they finally got the spawn rates mostly decent on difficulty 9 where it's challenging yet fun, versus before where it was just endless waves of ridiculous shit. Picked up the Helghast skin too to show my support for the game, considering it launched at 40 bucks, they have done a great job with it since launch.

 

[Asmonius]

Finally got around to playing the Brotato DLC since it was on sale (and also launched on consoles). Really like the changes they made, Curse mechanic makes runs a lot more dynamic and all the new characters are on the mechanically complex end. Balance updates also felt really good across the board, and the new weapons and items are almost all excellent. Wish The Binding of Isaac Rebirth devs took this approach instead of having every DLC flood item pools with bloated drops that do nothing new.

Quake 2 RTX was my GotY the year I played it. Awesome game.

Is 20 hours of playtime while still at the middle of Episode 3 in Death Stranding a lot? I think I'm enjoying the world too much lol, will probably end up dropping 100 hours on this game if I keep the same pace. It's been a few months since a game sucked me in completely like this, I missed this feeling.

I only worry because once this short holiday of mine is over I probably won't have enough time to play this game like I do now.

49 hours in and I'm at Episode 9. I'm already regretting playing too much of the game in such a short time, I can tell now that it's better if it's more a relaxed playthrough spanning a month or more, instead of dumping 3 or 4 (one time 8!) hours a day to finish it as soon as possible.

But I can't take my time either, I already have less than a week before my holiday is due and I'll be back to having almost no time to be playing a big game like this one. Sucks, but that's life.

Anyways the game itself is absolutely brilliant still, I keep thinking about it and planning for routes in my head while at work lol. Still no proper answers to my biggest questions yet but I think I'm getting to the part where things will start to make sense.

 

[J-Roderton]

Death Stranding. Over 60 hours and just starting episode 5. I am the great deliverer.

I spent quite some time in Episode 3 and 5, but like I said in my post above yours, I don't have a lot of free time in the future to take my time now so I rushed it.
Besides, I didn't really like any of the Preppers in Episode 8 to care about getting 5 stars for them. I have 8 5-starts from other preppers and distro centers otherwise.
