Trudging through AC: Valhalla. Odyssey was so much better.....

[acroig]

Nah, it's ok, Anvil has been pushed to its limits on Valhalla. I simply don't think that medieval England is as beautiful as the Greek isles. There are little filler quests here compared to Odyssey and I know lots of peeps did not like that. I prefer the huge map of Odyssey compared to the rivers of old England.

[KAC]

Finished Hitman 3. 9.5/10.

[Munkus]

Finished Watch Dogs 2. 8/10 good times.

Started Watch Dogs: Legion. Promising. Great eye candy.

[KAC]

Punching through Black Mesa, Ghost of a Tale, Outriders and COD CW S3 about now.

[acroig]

Gonna make that beeotch Fulke pay for what she did to my bro in Valhalla......

But I've been hooking up with his wife so.....

[YellowBeard]

Went back to a strength character I made I Bloodborne a few months ago. Couldn't remember where I left at, found out I was at Blood Starved Beast, and immediately noped out cause I haven't played in a while. Picked up the item to make him optional for the first time. Continued on my journey with my Kirkhammer and finished off the Witches before coming back around to BSB to put him down. Had to force myself to put the game down as I still need some sleep before work tomorrow.

Also, miss my whip from my old skill build. Trick weapons feel sooooo good. Doubly so for the cane whip. Though swording something and transforming it into a giant hammer mid attack is also satisfying.

God I love this game.

Edit: In the spirit of not double posting, made my way through the first set Chalice Dungeon tonight and working on my first random dungeon. 2 more floors to go. Didn't really do too much of the main game at the moment. Unseen Village, helped the Crow out, no bosses though.

Still love this game. Remaster or a sequel injected into my veins please.

[KAC]

Killing shite in Outriders. Game is not as bad as I thought it would be.

[Jet Black]

Getting matched with bad teams in Apex and getting **** on lol.

Also playing some Desperados 3 on Game Pass. Great game if you enjoyed Shadow Tactics (made by the same people).

[Lazy8s]

Returnal: 2 bosses down and 3? I think, to go. Makes Souls-like difficulty look like petting a puppy or something. But soooo beautiful and satisfying

[ugly]

I've been playing through some classic shooters. Taking it slow. Basically just doing about one level a day.

Did Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny a couple years ago.

The last little while I've gone through Doom, Sigil, Doom II, Final Doom (each using the GZDoom engine) and Doom 64 (Steam version).

I think I'll hold off on Doom 3 and keep with some older shooters.

Heretic came out recently on GOG, so now I'm doing that one (GZDoom again).

Play Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

[KAC]

Outriders isn’t exactly an easy game. I am only playing Tier 4 and getting my ass handed to me. Wtf?

[ugly]

Play Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

I'll get to it. I'm thinking I'll generally stick to games more by generation instead of sticking with a series. So right now I'm doing more the Doom-era stuff. I'll probably do stuff like Heretic, Hexen, Duke Nukem, and Redneck Rampage, then move onto the Quake era stuff. I'm not even sure where Return to Castle Wolfenstein fits in. I think it's a bit after Quake.


I also beat Cuphead. Good game. The artwork is really cool. They captured the era for really old cartoons. The style, the animation, the piano soundtrack. I was almost expecting some racist Disney characters to pop up at some point.

The game is difficult, but easy to get better at. It's mostly just boss fights. And, unlike NES games, you don't have to play through a level to reach the bosses. You just die and start the boss over again. They basically take 2 minutes (or less if you die) to beat. So it's actually a good game to jump into if you only have a couple minutes.

I would suggest passing on Redneck Rampage. While i loved the game, it did not age as well as doom, wolfenstein, blood, duke, etc

Oh yeah, RTCW came a good bit after those games. Early 2000's I think. I just regard to be one of the best pure fps games ever made, and a true successor to those early games like Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, etc. so I'll always bring it up as a recommendation.

Honestly I still don't think there's been a better pure fps made since that game. It is perfect.

[twonha]

RTCW ran on a modified Quake Team Arena engine and was released in 2001. It fits in with games like Soldier of Fortune (Quake 2 tech), Red Faction, No-one lives forever 1 and 2, Max Payne, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Halo: Combat Evolved, Unreal Tournament 2003, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, and Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force.

Battlefield 1942 is from the same era, but without a proper single player campaign it might be harder to relive those days.

I think I only played the demo for Redneck Rampage when it came out. Or a friend had it and I only played it a bit. So it would be a first experience for me.

The Doom games held up suprisingly well. I was still having fun even after going through all of them. And between Doom, Sigil, Doom II, The Master Levels, Final Doom and Doom 64, that's a ton of maps.

The original Wolfenstein I have a soft spot for. I remember playing with headphones back in the day that didn't have a volume control. So it only played at full blast. And I'd get totally absorbed in the game. Then I'd nearly crap my pants when some German dude screamed at me.

But Wolfenstein didn't age as well. Towards the end it felt like a bit of a slog.

[KAC]

Finished Outriders. 8/10.

[Jaillum Malord]

Playing Blasphemous while sneaking in a dose of several games that I am a ***t hair away from completing.

[Mangler]

Played some Dirt 5, this games hates my 3090, I can play 3-5 races and then it will crash to desktop.

Seems like a common issues according to the interwebs, It's good thing that I'm playing it for "free" via gamepass, I'm just going to rush through the campaign and then uninstall it.

[Nascar24]

Probably 4 hours in on the AC Valhalla expansion. More of the same.

Same thing for me and most people were saying my 3090 is toast. Guess what it also happens on my 3070 PC. So it is a game issue.

[KAC]

Finished Resident Evil Village. 8.5/10.

[theshadowcult]

Just wanted to mini rant! I sarcastically love how steams having a big open world sale, but horizon zd is not on sale at all :/

Not sure what this is in Aussie Doritos. https://www.cdkeys.com/horizon-zero-...ition-pc-steam

Also all key shop is a good place to get best prices.

[theshadowcult]

thanks kac, but im gonna keep waiting till i see 50% at least.

[Mangler]

Finished Maneater, it is probably the longest sub-7 hour game I've ever played, it got way too repetitive.

6/10, not worth more that $15.

[xCLAVEx]

Finished Spellforce 3 and the expansions. Took about a month and a half and was a good ride. Probably one of the better RPG's I've played in about 10 years.

[Seyiji]

Punched through the whole of Halo 3 ODST in like 5 hours in 3 player coop

[KAC]

Boned COD CW SP 3. 8/10.
Not sure how much more Nuketown I can play. Apparently a fuqlot!

[Mangler]

Played some black mesa, xen looks fantastic for source 2 engine title.

But plz let it end, PLZ!!



I've reached Interloper and it is starting to feel like I've spent more time in Xen than I did in black mesa.

[Mangler]

Finished Black Mesa, got a bunch of achievements left to unlock, but that's never going to happen, I'm never going to replay xen.


It feels like the dev team got a little too proud of how good-looking xen was, so they made every puzzle/platforming section far too long.

I wonder if Xen, for its large open spaces, is easier to develop than Black Mesa's busy facilities. The original Half-Life didn't have any issues with large, open Xen areas where it took you half an hour to get from pad A to pad B. There was no point, but it was there. HLBM felt similar.

I wouldn't have minded if in both cases Xen had been much more mysterious, i.e. short trips, and few of them. Leave us wondering what it's like out there, instead of ruining the surprise answer that it's mind-numbingly dull.

[Mangler]

Finished Call of Duty 2020.

[azalea]

Finally finished CoD Advanced Warfare's campaign from 2014. Then I uninstalled, and reinstalled CoD WW2 to play through that one finally. Have finished all the others, but these two outliers have been by far the most dull.

[Seyiji]

Pew pewin in Halo 4 coop made it to reclaimer and took a break last night.

[Mangler]

Finished the Lego DLC for Forza Horizon 4.

[Mangler]

Finished Amid Evil.

The last episode was really neat.

Now I just got to finish dusk, that game play great, but I really hate the visual style they went for, it looks like an early lithtech title, but plays like something out of id software.

[nutcrackr]

Playing Necromunda hired gun and man it is boring. :/
