But Helldivers 2

 

[pistolpete11]

Bed of Chaos i remember some run beating it easily while having a hellish time on others. But when it goes wrong, it goes very wrong and it becomes a very frustrating experience.

Yeah, like I said frustrating, not hard. And maybe the most frustrating thing is the run back. It's one of the longest in the Soulsborne series I can remember and you could be knocked down a hole in the first 10seconds.

Martyr Logarius was one of the worst run backs that I can remember, but at least you're in a fun fight for a few minutes before having to do the run back.

I guess at least they don't make you break all 3 of the chains or whatever they are in one run.

Bully Scolarship Edition

Did it age well?

Did it age well?

it does, the only problem is the game is so old that it keeps crashing on Steam

I never had the chance to play it when it came out, and it was on sale on steam a few weeks ago so I figured I might as well play. Only issue is the constant crashing.

That's on my shortlist for games to buy on PS4 when I have a chance.

I only played Bully for like a weekend in 2006 when I rented it, and I remember liking it. But never bought it or completed it, and I love Rockstar so it'll probably be worth picking up.

Recently tried a couple games that just aren't for me. I heard of Pseudoregalia recently and grabbed the Humble Bundle with it. The platforming is tight but everything else is meh. I don't mind the early 3D aesthetic but the game is too much of a maze and the rooms all look the same so it's hard to remember where you are and where you want to go. I was never a fan of those trial and error maze games so I gave up after the first half hour.

Also tried NBA Playgrounds 2, hoping for something like NBA Jam and was really disappointed. The microtransactions are straight up mobile level. The game play isn't fun enough either. To shoot you have to hold the shoot button and watch a small meter on the bottom of the screen to let go at the right time. Missing the window is a guaranteed miss. When going for threes, when you do get the timing just right, it's still only ~33% chance to get a three pointer. Considering you'll probably miss the meter filling more than half the time with how small the window is, you probably have a 10% chance to hit a three so there's really no point. Then you're just left driving the basket and going for 2 after 2 after 2 with boring lay ups. Maybe a diehard basketball fan will like this but I'm not a basketball fan and the game play isn't fun.

I'm trying to decide what to even start next. I've been plowing through some shorter games. I still kind of want to go through more shorter games but not sure which one on my backlog to start.

The struggle is real. I installed a walking simulator today that is supposed to take only 2-3 hours. I hate walking simulators and finished one just a week ago that I didn't like. Why am I installing another one? Because it's short. Meanwhile, there are so many games in my backlog that I keep putting off because they'd take weeks to finish, but weeks that I would enjoy every minute of. Instead, I choose shorter games that I have a feeling that I won't enjoy. Something's wrong with me.

Now that I've finished Baldur's Gate 3, I've gone back to finally completing another great RPG, Kingdom Come Deliverance.

No

I just watched the first hour of Death Stranding. Maybe, tomorrow, I'll get to play it.

Finally getting around to Spiderman 2

 

[Andrei79]

I just bought Rogue Trader and the Cyberpunk DLC. I really look forward to both. I'm coming off finishing BG3 and Kingdom Come Deliverance, two amazing RPGs.

Might need to get Unicorn Overlord...

I started FFV on the pixel remaster. I've played it before with mixed feelings - the job system is interesting, but the story and setting is basic and much less compelling compared to IV and VI.

The XP boosts for the pixel remaster make it much easier and quicker to get through, which will let me explore more of the job classes and try to master everything.

I've restarted Sekiro once more. This game is so damn good.

Started Jagged Alliance 3. Never played any of the previous games in the series. Liking it so far.

That's a game series I was always meaning to try but the old ones look really dated. How does it compare to XCOM? I remember seeing the combat is very similar but this one seems to have you prep for missions and put your characters in position all over the playing field before you strike, kind of similar to an RPG in that regard like Wasteland.

I think it compares a bit more to Wasteland 3 and Mutant Year Zero than XCOM. There's way less tension and dread than XCOM, and more RPG elements.

I'm still in the early game, but it's very tongue-in-cheek cliche and bro humour.

You hire mercs to make up your squad, and move and explore in real-time. You can set up ambushes before triggering the turn-based battles.

It's 50% off on Steam right now I think.

 

[Frankie Spankie]

Yeah I saw it was on sale recently but I've really been making an effort of knocking out more of my backlog before I spend more money.

I'm answering myself there, but I just beat Genichiro.

First off, the start of the game was harder than I expected seeing I finished the game. I think my timing was off since I believe its been about 2 years or more that Ive finished it and I didn't replay it since. Like, the seven spears beat me a few times and so did the stupid ogre from the start. But, I noticed my timing has been improving. Ashina castle was a breeze this time.

But, I saw it was back against Genichiro. I think it took me over 20 tries, easily. Maybe 30-50, first time around. This time, beat both phases first try. Got greedy third phase. Then, beat up second try while drinking the gourd only once.

But man, this game is still as good as the first time I played it. Maybe even better as Im noticing the nuances in the story and lore.
