That daily game progress thread...

[Jaillum Malord]

Just finished Control.

[Silent-Runner]

Making my way through Last Epoch with my necro. Currently at Lagon who is a real pita, partly due to my shitty gear which makes me literally a oneshot for him. Aside from a few minor bugs here and there it's not a bad game, although the gods of drops kinda failed me so far, i found tons of uniqes for almost every OTHER class but nothing for mine so far, thx, rng-a-holes %%$§".

big squid king? His fight is all about where you stand. Once you see he really only has three attacks and all are easily avoided, his biggest poain is just how god damn long it takes to kill him. He has so much, but you shouldnt get hit.

On the other hand, his minions well he teleports you are a pain in the arse. Its a timed event though if i remember rightly, and you just need to survive till the moon covers over i think.

I wouldnt worry to much about the uniques, not many drop in the campaign, and there are not that many "class" specific ones either, so you are not really missing anything. Only a few are really useful for leveling, and even then, only for like 10-20 levels ish.

Its cool to see people enjoying it though. the more the merrier!

yeah, the second phase is what i meant. It also sucks that you have to start over and over again, i really don't the point in this, but hey, whatever. I'll get past that mofo too, no worries.

[Silent-Runner]

got past Lagon (you can kinda "cheat" to make it a LOT easier ) although the encounter is currently broken. Game seems to be a lot easier than 2 years ago. Need to work on my resistance stats. Still unsure about the build itself, man there are literally hundreds of different builds out there right now.

Some random low quality screens



One of many bugs



Before Lagon



Eat that, sucker



I like the way you can manage your items

yeah, the game just keeps getting bigger, its great to see. I think its gonna take years before it will be as polished as some other games, but they are doing a great job.

yep, at least they are trying, something others could learn from. It's mostly stable right now, i'm curious how the new subclasses (like the Warlock) will fit.

warlock is what im waiting for before going back in, i really am interested in what they have planned for it. Is it lasers and eldritch blasts, or some form of rituals somehow, maybe demons, maybe it will be another shapeshifter like the druid but you take on forms of demons. Im so curious!!

EDIT: incase you are curious, wolcen just released a big update as well. actually looks like it could be maybe time to think about the idea of possibly giving it another try at deciding if its something you could... buh, maybe worth playing again.

[A2597]

Finished Jedi: Fallen Order. Now working my way through Horizon: Zero Dawn.
The steam deck rocks. Total backlog killer!

[KAC]

Most likely RE4 Remake Diablo 4 Beta Hogfarts BF2042 MW2 ... maybe a bit of other crap I have installed like Life is Strange, FIST, and Ghost Recon worst game...

[twonha]

Am playing Company of Heroes 3. Gameplaywise I love it, graphically I love it - it combines COH1's fun with COH2's QoL. At the same time, the game doesn't feel finished, especially in the menu structure and the details in how the Italian campaign is played.

Finished the Italian campaign though, will start the 'regular' campaign soon!

Is the game out?

Yes.

[koralis]

Finished Gotham Knights campaign as Robin. Gotta say, I enjoyed it more than the last Arkham game with all of the forced Batmobile interactions for the sake of forcing you to use the batmobile to limb skyscrapers and drive on top of walls.

[Silent-Runner]

slowly making my way through Dredge, what a great game, loving it so far.

[nutcrackr]

Finished DREDGE. Was a decent fishing game but also felt like it could have been much more.

[theshadowcult]

hu, so i guess nutcrakr and silent runner are the same person. who would of thought

well, i really wished it had an option to mark spots on the map, would've made a lot of things SO much easier, but that aside i really liked it. Also it would've been nice to know that some of the (side) quests were time-limited

Weird, I never noticed that. I guess I did most of them fairly soon after.

[KAC]

Finished FH5 Rally Adventure XP pack.

[ugly]

Played through Metal Slug XX.

It's pretty much the same as the others. Contra-like side scrolling shooter. Fun, but short. The game is difficult, but they give you infinite continues, so you can just keep dying until you win.

I did spend a stupid amount of time on the game. This one has challenges, which are tied to achievements. Things like, beat a level or a boss without dying, and speed runs. It extended the game's short play time to give you something to attempt to master. Made for a good podcast game.

the quests with the robed guys are all time limited for example. It doesn't matter though.

[Jaillum Malord]

Completed Resident Evil 4: Remake.

[A2597]

Been working my way through Horizon Zero Dawn. about half way I think now.
Man I love the steam deck!

[twonha]

Played through Prey (2006). At the time I played the demo, and thought it was a dull affair with portals thrown in. The gunplay was boring and lifeless, the weapons hardly distinguishable from one another, and graphically it was barely up to par. A decade and a half later, not much has changed. A boring shooter with some interesting concepts and level design - but too sporadic to be an enjoyable experience overall other than to waste some time.

[KAC]

Finished Hogfart Legacy. 5/10. Meh.

Im surprised. I wonder if its because you are used to all the stuff in the game and didnt experience it when it was all fresh and new. Prey 2006 was excellent in 2006. Both prey games are fantastic, even if they are unrelated to each other.

[delirium121]

Still on Elden Ring (75hrs) & Rocksmith 2014 (2053hrs)
Currently considering speed running last sections of Elden Ring, to complete Zelda Botw before Tears drops in May.

Like I said, I played the demo back in 2006. Felt the same then. But, having never bought the full game, I figured I'd catch up anyway. And unfortunately, I do not feel Prey was ever excellent - I didn't think so back then, don't think so today. By comparison, Half-Life 2 is two years older and by far the superior experience. It makes Prey look like a game from 2002 with its non-existent character animation, rudimentary enemy design and behavior, mod-level quality vehicle sections... Another comparison would be Portal. Just one year younger, it blows Prey out of the water in terms of what's done with portals.

Prey '06 is not bad per se - I got through the game after all - but it certainly wasn't a match for the actual good games of the era.

[Silent-Runner]

Tried to get back into Wolcen, it's somehow just not fun, i can't even tell why.

Same goes for (T)ESO, i suddenly remembered why i stopped playing it back then, it's the ****** level scaling amongst a lot of other stuff

Still foolin around in Last Epoch.

Starting Wigmund is the next thing i guess.

lol dude, prey was the first to do a bunch of things, and they were all excellent at the time. Comparing the portals to a game that was specifically built around portals and was mostly made in the year following preys release is ridiculous. Its fine not to like it, but damn your criteria is high. Sure hale life 2 was a better game, so what? How does that have any impact on prey?

Man, this gold bar has a scratch on it, not like my other gold bar i got a week ago. This gold bar is ****.

Prey wasn't the first to play with portals, non-death, gravity, changing perspectives... And although it did well to put all of these things into one game, it rarely went further than rudimentary implementation. Also, Portal's gameplay was based on Narbacular Drop, which came out a year before Prey. I'm saying it wasn't a bad game, but considering how many other games did do awesome things, Prey wasn't fantastic either.

[Munkus]

Finished A Plague Tale: Requiem. So many feels at the end.

[KAC]

Started pumping Ghost Wire Tokyo on GP. Seems like another one of shitty games that you start playing but get bored pronto like Atomic Heart. What's with talking stuff in games these days. This is the third game I am playing with someone talking back constantly. Wtf.

[Munkus]

Finished Hogwarts Legacy. Well, the main quest line anyway. I could continue playing to finish all the relationship and field guide quests, but I'd rather not. I was level 33 when I fought the level 35 baddie at the end, so that was pretty tough. I'd recommend most people to be at least level 35 before doing the final main quest mission. Good story overall. 8/10

I finished the game at level 26. You can do whatever you want as enemies always scale accordingly. Last baddie will always be 2 levels up which makes the whole game pretty damn pointless.

Interesting.

[Silent-Runner]

played through Bramble: The Mountain King in one go. Great visuals, awesome score, gritty lil game. Liked it. Although it's very short.

Now back to my re-play of Divine Divinity 2: Definitve Edition. Still easily one of the best rpgs i've played. Still looking fo a cheap second (non GoG) key for my wife because she wants to play it too.

[KAC]

Finished Resident Evil 4. 8.5/10.
