That daily game progress thread...

Finished Deliver Us the Moon. Cool puzzle game. Cool because it's space. The puzzles are relatively simple, so it's almost an interactive story.
 
Playing GTA3 again. I've chosen to edit my save game every now and then with bullet proof cars and non-hostile gangs, because I'm not going for a perfect "do everything right from the start" 100% run, but I do want to roam the city a bit more freely than the original game cares for.

So far, I've 'beaten' the milestone of 12 ambulance missions in a row for the Unlimited Sprint upgrade, and I've found almost 80 Hidden Packages for the weapons at home. I've done twenty police missions on Portland and Staunton, and need just a handful more on Shoreside Vale, for six police bribes at the hide-outs.

Now, twenty years ago I perfected flying the Dodo, so that I could fly anywhere, any time, for as long as I wanted. I could do stunts (loopings!) and everything, with the standard wing-clipped aircraft. Today I've started practicing again and managed a flight from Shoreside Vale's airport back to Portland. But it's not second nature yet and I do still need a bit of luck to stay aflight over open terrain. So, gonna need some time to get this right again.

I'll finish the campaign as well, of course, and that'll probably be the first time since GTA: Vice City, over twenty years ago!
 
Marking First Descendant as finished after spending about 4-5 hours with it. Fucking live service bullshit. Reminded me a lot of Anthem. Just a terrible game with micro transaction galore, 20,000 systems to read about and all of them requiring you to grind like a mofo on crack. Yeah I am not doing that at all. 3/10.

I barely hit level 15 or 16 and level 4 mastery but I have seen everything I wanted to see. Not sure who plays these games but definitely not for me.
 
finished Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss but not really sure how i feel. 6/10 I guess

Some parts are decent as a walking sim, but a few of the deduction mysteries are bad and i hated going back and forth, returning to areas to interact with stuff that was previously not interactable just coz a new mystery unlocked. Also the 15-20 second animations grind my gears.

Played through Superscout. Actually pretty enjoyable and very funny FMV romance from China. But it's a prequel so the romances are not complete.

7/10.
 
Playing GTA3 again.
Finished the campaign, got 80+ Hidden Packages, did a bunch of side quests and re-learned how to fly the Dodo reasonably reliably. Done and dusted.

It was a bit of a surprise just how abruptly the campaign ends. There's not much here in terms of story, let alone character development, and then there's the final mission with revenge on Catalina.
 
Finished Flintlock: The siege of dawn.

I guess it was ok, you have to get over the floaty feeling that some of the movement as in order to enjoy it though.
 
Played through Love is All Around, another Chinese first-person FMV romance game. To be honest I quite enjoy these things. Bit of a fun interactive movie and the eye candy doesn't hurt either. Since it was a full story, with more branching paths, it's was better than Superscout by a nose.
 
Started VLADiK BRUTAL. Heavily influenced by Half-Life, but unfortunately feels like a cheap HL1 mod. Solo dev project (impressive) but not a great game imo.
