That daily game progress thread...

[theshadowcult]

yeah, the one down side to turn based cmbat is the time it takes. If you have someone to play it with though, you should really play it co-op! players can enter and exit quests in different ways as well as experience different things all at the same time. its pretty cool.

I was gifted the game by a friend for exactly this purpose. Unfortunately, time constraints haven't put us together a lot, and what little we did play together felt a little disconnected. As if he's running around in the world while I'm running around, but it's not our natural first instinct to run around the world together like you would in a more linear game.

That's alright though, I enjoy playing with myself.

Leveled a Tornado Shot Deadeye character to L90 in Path of Exile's latest league, Blight. The league mechanic (tower defense) is more enjoyable than I thought it would be but it doesn't feel rewarding for the time spent on each TD battle.

The game has reached the point where it needs many, *many* quality of life fixes/balances/changes, that the motivation to play the game decreases with each league. I'm wondering at this point if it would be worthwhile for them to license an actual decent gaming engine and start work on PoE2.

Many of their issues are based around their indie self coded engine, while an amazing achievement it has reached the breaking point where it's negatively affecting all aspects of the game.

[theshadowcult]

Not sure i agree about the engine. They have not achieved quite as significant things as the warframe team, but the engine has definitely become quite something.

They could have a small team rewrite the code from the ground up, but no need for an entire new game. Also, you are not supposed to just keep playing it all the time. If its getting stale, stop playing for a year and then come back.

The new 4.0 expansion promises to be something large, and not just another league expansion, so why not quit now and come back when it releases next year?

[DeathKnight]

100% completed Shadow of the Tomb Raider plus all DLC. Steam says 65 hours.

[Apocalypsee]

Finished NFS:U. Felt like teenage again, now with NFS:U2

If you have ray tracing gpus, wait for the ray tracing mod for u2.

Wait what? Really? Any link?

No link, but UFD tech were talking about it in one of the last few videos, saying they were going to do a video on it like their minecraft one.

[KAC]

Punching through Plague Tale and Life is Strange.

[KAC]

Finished Plague Innocence. 9/10.

[KAC]

Too many games to play. These days started Shadow Warrior 2. Have crackdown also started. Mutant year zero is also in the pipe. Punching through Bloodstained as well. Yesterday downloaded Dirt Rally 2.0 and the Surge.

The game I am playing to finish is Life is Strange.

[twonha]

Ugh... My progress in anything is grinding to a halt. Divinity: Original Sin 2 is going to take a million hours to finish,

80 hours in, just had a big story moment. Still moving at glacial pace.

[YellowBeard]

Actually finished a game. Just put the screws to The Surge 1 for a couple weeks and holy smokes, had a lot of fun.

[Evileh]

Finished main story of Borderlands GOTY Enhanced

The game I am playing to finish is Life is Strange.

Life is Strange is fantastic

[KAC]

Finished Life is Strange. Went hardcore lesbo at the end. 8/10.

[Drexion]

Hit Tier 100 in the Fortnite Season 10 battlepass.


I'd like to see some other tripleA dev/publisher attempt to take on FN. Competition is a good thing, right now FN pretty much has a monopoly on BRs with fast paced offensive/defensive building mechanics.

[Athena]

Well back to playing Diablo 3 and Online games so looks like I may not finish games with endings this month unless a miracle happens today. lol

[Drexion]

Completed GreedFall, enjoyed it for the most part. It's a typical Eurojank RPG, in the same vein as previous eurojank titles (Gothic, Risen, Elex etc) - so if you played those you will know exactly what to expect. If you liked those you will like this game.

You could feel the low budget at times, the world feels smaller than previous titles like Elex, there were multiple zones rather than one continuous world, there was some copy/paste with the indoor and city environments, melee combat felt clunky at times, and I'd have liked to see a fast travel from anywhere option.

Nevertheless if you attempt to complete all of its content you can get about 60 hours of gameplay from it, which is probably the ideal way to go for the good endings. The plot is decent, the characters and their subplots are fairly interesting, and there were quite a few well written optional quests with entertaining stories which were enjoyable to play through.

[MNB4800]

30 hours into Code Vein. Really enjoying it despite it being a bit of a step back from most souls like games. Still enjoyable.

[twonha]

Almost a hundred hours into Divinity: Original Sin 2, I was starting to get sick of the puzzles and not knowing what the hell you're doing, even though you're supposedly the new God of all life. At least, I hardly knew what I was doing, and I felt every evil dude in the world was smarter than my character. I read up about some puzzles and about the game's ending, and honestly, it didn't feel like I was missing out on much. The story line never grabbed me, the big threat around the world never seemed all that menacing, the bad guy was rarely in sight.

Everything was just dragging on and on and on and on and uninstalled.

[KAC]

Playing with my Lo Wang.

hehe shadow warrior 2 was great, was disappointed that it got mostly ignored over borderlands

[KAC]

Finished Shadow Warrior 2. 8/10. Best cringe worthy dialog ever.

[KAC]

Started pumping GRID. Finally a good game. After Grid Autosport this is a breath of fresh air just like my fart after eating some McD chicken wings.

[KAC]

This GRID game got no tracks and all cars feel the same lol.

KAC best reviewer!

[KAC]

As I play more I have more comments. I don’t know but I am not feeling this game. Very few tracks, literally no reason to level up driver, boring cars and extremely boring physics. It seems only difference between cars is the SKID-O-Meter. The more muscle the higher the skid. Cars feel like they are on a pole rotating left and right. I think MARIO Kart has better tracks and cars than this. All cars feel the same too.

I give it a 6/10. The best part is during start of the race when you press enter to shut up the commentators.

[twonha]

For the past half year, I haven't been able to find the right single player campaign to hook me. Dishonored 2 felt too dull, and my computer didn't feel up to the task of rendering it at a solid 60fps. After that, I sunk a hundred hours into Divinity: Original Sin 2. I don't think I've ever spent a hundred hours on a game I was having so little fun with, but it was just alright enough to keep going, hoping it'd get better.

With those two excellently-reviewed games ending up by the wayside instead of at the credits, I've spent my time on several different games instead. Bridge Constructor Portal is stupid, but fun. FEAR: Extraction Point was mediocre, but short enough to be over before it completely outlived its welcome. The annual MotoGP games always eat up time, and I replayed The Last of Us in its PS4 remastered form. Honestly the best game I played this year. Oh, and Islanders is cute fun as well.

But now I finally, finally find myself hooked on a new single player experience. Wasn't in the mood for it before, but now I'm having fun webbing myself around New York City and punching bad guys in the face. Thanks Spider-Man!

[KAC]

Spider Man like dope.

[DeathKnight]

Finished the main game in Assassin's Creed Odyssey along with the Secrets of Greece DLC. 140+ hours and level 70.

Now to finish the rest of the DLC (First Blade and Atlantis) so I can uninstall and make room for Outer Worlds, heh

[Jaillum Malord]

Still playing Hollow Knight but i picked up Control on Epic on sale and i have been really enjoying the game so far and it looks really good. I did like Quantum Break a lot particularly the combat although the emphasis on story was a bit of a turn off.....I wanted to shoot things like in a John Woo film and not experience acting from a Michael bay film.

[KAC]

Punching my way through GRID and Borderlands 3.

[twonha]

Spider-Man done and dusted.

There are some sidequests and collection things left to do, but most of it is done. Had a really good time with Spider-Man. Nothing earth shattering, but certainly a solid game.

Yeah it was solid like my penis.

[twonha]

Yeah it was solid like my penis.

The sidequests reminded me of your penis. Significantly lower quality, short, a bit flaccid, definitely on the repetitive side. Fun for a bit though.

I traded in Spider-Man this afternoon for God of War (2018). Price after trade-in: €1.

[twonha]

Alright. It's been a while since I've played a God of War game (PS2 era, in fact), but Kratos knows how to make an entrance, I'll give him that.

The lights must've been off, KAC, my mum sent her maid instead.
