Your resident human error.
The rerelease of Doom 1.
This time with Pistol Start, as I recently learned that the levels were balanced around that. It is challenging, but feels so right. The beginning of a level often plays like a little puzzle. Who to kill in what order to get to a decent weapon, before your 50 pistol shots run out. Can’t wait to play the new semi-official expansion they added with the rerelease.
Lost Judgment. I can’t for the life of me bring myself to keep going. The first one was kind of a drag already, but man, the addition of all the High School drama and dancing did not make it any better. The premise of the big case you are trying to solve is quite interesting, but everything around it is so bad.
I’ve already spent 30 hours on it and there are at least 50 more waiting for me. I don’t think I can do it.
Some good old Doom 1.
I played through 1 and 2 about two years ago, but I wanted to try the recent rerelease. Like last time, I play on Ultra Violence. This time with Pistol Start though, as I recently learned that the levels were balanced around that. It is challenging, but feels so right. The beginning of a level often plays like a little puzzle. Who to kill in what order to get to a decent weapon, before your 50 pistol shots run out. Can’t wait to play the new semi-official expansion they added with the rerelease.
Ordered that book two days ago. So excited for it and the upcoming remaster of BS1.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for the PSP was pretty great.
2000s - The rise and fall of Nu Metal, at least in my country.
The right extremists are on the rise in my country. I would rather not have them knocking on my door in a few years to detain me for calling their leader a cunt on the internet.
Too bad, it was such a good fit.
Man, TotalBiscuit and iNcontroL would have loved this… :(
Yea. that is pretty much what I had in mind. A huge persistent battlefield with an ever changing frontline. Players who fail the time travel missions lose their character, but succeeding sents equipment or units to the future or hinders Skynet in some way.
A video game. Terminator crossed with Helldivers, set on a big open battlefield in the future.
The resistance is controlled by the players, AI controls the machines. Players can conquer time machines to go back in time. There they clear small side missions to change the battlefield in the future.
Some more Crime Boss. I tried the Multiplayer. It is nice, but repetitive without any clear overarching goal. They recently patched the game and now the enemies spawn weirdly all around you. I think that killed it for me.
Supermarket Together. Free to play Supermarket Simulator. Played it for about 13 hours with two friends. Quite fun together, but I imagine it to be too bare bones to enjoy it alone. Still, it is free. Give it a look if it sounds like something you might enjoy.
Kind Words 2 playtest. I already “played” a lot of Kind Words 1 a few years back. They added quite a few things to do, besides writing letters to people. The playtest ended, but there is a demo. Try it!
Started the Amid Evil DLC, The Black Labyrinth. Really good stuff and highly recommended if you enjoyed the main game.
Finished Zortch, a boomer Shooter made by a single person. They even wrote their own engine for the game. Plays a bit like Turok. Enemy variety is great, weapon variety not so much.
Some Cosmic Collapse, a neat Suika-Like. I tried a few different Suika inspired games. This one is the best by far.
Well, he wouldn’t be my first choice for stealing a car… but he is close.
That reminds me a lot of Takeshi Terauchi in some parts.
I don’t know what kind of tea parties you “throw”, so to say. But here is a suggestion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eELH0ivexKA
If not this, some Erik Satie maybe?
That would be Ultima Online, released in 1997.
I can tolerate the graphics, but the controls are really something else. Played it for 3 hours and had the urge to play some more, but never did.
He is responsible for lighting and reflections. Pretty overrated guy and gets paid way too much.
+1 for Yakuza. I hope you have played 0, Kiwami 1 and Kiwami 2 before 3.
What genre of indies are you looking for?
