Jumped into the newest patch and expedition of No Man’s Sky. Always good fun but after finishing the tasks of the expedition I always get bored very quickly. :D
In Baldur’s Gate 3 I’m stuck in a fight against a boss in act 3, always getting absolutely smashed even though I’m highest level and have (I think) decent equipment and spells. Haven’t found any guide that explains a way to deal with the fight in the intended way, everyone just says to cheese the fight which I’d like to honestly avoid. :/
Do you have any more info to provide for that fight without spoilers for others so that I can point you in the right direction? What's the issue you're running into in that fight?
BG3 Act 3 spoilersIt’s the fight against Cazador. I can prevent him from doing anything by using Counterspell pretty easily, but I get swarmed by his minions and I do not have enough damage to kill him in the 3 turn limit anyway so he ascends.
Do you have much crowd control in your party? Can you disable either him or his minions? Pay attention to what he is vulnerable to and what makes him vulnerable when he goes into that other state. Remember that you can inspect any enemy and see their buffs and what type of enemy they are. Perhaps you have special arrows strong against that type. Perhaps you have some spells that do a type of damage that works well against him.
Slay the Princess, it is a pretty awesome game and Lies of P which just got cracked,I pirated it out of spite cause I felt betrayed when they added denuvo just before release (I don’t buy denuvo games)
One of my favourite games! I’ve got over 400 hours on Steam and some more on mobile. Did all achievements but I’m still struggling with A20 Heart kills so I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. My favourite class is probably the Silent. I also like the Watcher a lot, but she’s a bit too easy and her decks can feel a bit too similar. The Ironclad has grown on me since I’ve realised that the exhaust cards are good actually. And that he’s not really focused on attacks. Defect is my least favourite but I do play all four. My favourite way to win is with Snecko Eye! Getting an early Snecko Eye and then picking all the expensive cards is a lot of fun.
I’ve been meaning to play a few similar games like Monster Train or Wildfrost but so far I’ve always felt like I need to get back to StS to improve a bit more instead.
For people looking to improve I’d recommend jorbs and Baalorlord on Twitch and YouTube, they’re chill and very good at the game.
My experience with it on Android had several weird bugs
Consumed a lot of battery
Crashed on swapping focus to another app
Opening the app would get stuck connecting to the game state server (even though the app works fine offline) so I had to use airplane mode to launch the app
I could never really get into this one. Too much to try to remember with the cards and just not my style overall. Seems like a great game for the genre just not my cup of tea.
I found it one of the only ones that did click for me, because all effects are explained on the screen itself (or behind a hover). So I was glad I didn’t need to remember every mechanic to get started with the game.
But I totally understand you, I’ve also bounced of certain well regarded games.
Recently finished my very first play through of all 3 Mass Effect (Legendary Edition) games. Started Mass Effect: Andromeda, but for some reason it triggers horrible motion sickness after 30 minutes of playing. As in, “I need to have a barf bucket nearly, and then lie down for the rest of the day” kind of bad.
I absolutely love this type of post! If there is interest I would definitely be down to make this another weekly stickied thing alongside the other thread. Anyone feel free to chime in if they want to see that
I was hoping to get some conversation going and it seems to have worked out well! I would love to help out / keep posting these kinds of things regularly. People could dm possible candidates for the next post or put them at the end of their comments. I’m also interested to do this for games that I know are popular but that I don’t play, always fun to hear people being passionate about stuff :).
I prefer more casual games, but I do like Slay the Spire. I don’t think I’ve tried to get past A4. I got bored with it a while back and downloaded expansions. I LOVE Downfall and kinda like PackMaster, too. If I am feeling lazy, I will do a custom run and pick my starting cards, and choose ‘slow’ and ‘big game hunter’ options as well. It makes me overpowered, but – again – is enjoyably casual for a change.
My last game was exhausting. Years of cryptic lore, mediocre tie-in properties we pretended were good, pvp you could opt out of midstream by switching off your router, a sandbox that one player characterized as "as wide as the universe and one inch deep."
So, I thought I'd try something completely different, and that different thing, god help me, is Evony.
I beat Final Fantasy 2. It's good, definitely one of the better JRPG stories for me, although some parts could definitely be improved if they were a bit more fleshed out. The main characters are really lame, but the supporting cast makes up for it somewhat. The magic system is pretty bad, since there are a gazillion different spells, most of them useless, but even if you wanted to use them, you'd have to level up each one separately for every character. Even the auto battle can't really save that.
Then Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor made it to Early Access, but right now it's pretty disappointing. I've done a dozen or so runs, but all four classes feel just really weak, even on the lowest difficulty. There is some meta progression, but they improve your character so little, and get really expensive, really quickly, that I don't think it'll make that much of a difference. I'll give it some a bit more time, maybe unlock a few more things, since I like the DRG Theme, but will probably shelve it soon and go back to Soulstone Survivors, Vampire Survivors or the dozen other games like this I haven't played yet.
Next, after like a 10-month break, I'm back to Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin. Playing through FF1 really made me play this again. Back when it was released on Steam, I made it through the base game and started on the first DLC, but the then new Bahamut difficulty was a bit too much for me at the time. By that point you can't just overpower everything with better gear anymore, but need to pay attention to your build and stats. I still need to wrap my head around things more, although it kinda sucks, since there are very little guides on the internet to help with that. Most information is for the endgame on the highest difficulty, which doesn't help me that much. There is a kind of "easy mode" called Extra Mode, which (in combination with certain gear that you get) will make you basically permanently invincible, and everyone and their mom recommends to just use that to get to the endgame (where the real game begins hurr durr). I don't want to do that, so I have to crawl through Discord channels, which really sucks, so I can get the basics.
I also tried Helldivers 2, but it's kinda unplayable on Steam, unless you have a group of friends to make a private lobby with, or are willing to manually add random people to your friends list, both of which is a no for me dawg. Matchmaking in this game is broken and doesn't work, if you can even make it into the game. I have no idea how this isn't talked about more, considering other games get clowned on for far less. I'll give it a more few days, but I'm not very hopeful, since it's already been over a week, and will probably refund it.
I’ve only had issues connecting in Helldivers once so far, aside from the quick matching. On the other hand, some of the friends I’ve played with have been having constant problems. Not sure what’s up with that.
I could deal with server queues, I've played WoW. Broken matchmaking is definitely a dealbreaker for me though, since none of my friends play the game.
I've refunded the game now and might check it out later, since I just don't really see it working properly anytime soon.
It’s good to see those who are willing to vote with their wallets. I’m still very much playing helldivers 2. The matchmaking was recently broken and will likely be fixed before the mid week, though it certainly hurt those who just tried it out.
Matchmaking being down means I have to coordinate with the folks I know who are also playing. Thankfully for me, I have plenty of options.
Helldivers 2 was the only game I played this past week.
It clearly has a few major issues, but I’m having a ball, even when the defense mission types are completely busted and the game seemingly isn’t satisfied until it hits the cap for enemies and maintains it.
Alan Wake 2 is an amazing game, I'm glad you're enjoying it. There's nothing that I've played from Remedy that hasn't been great.
I finally finished Vampyr, and I actually managed to get an ending that I hadn't before, so that was pretty nice.
Diablo 4: Season 3 - Nightmare dungeons/vaults for days. But I'm on the verge of getting sick of it, so I'm going to take a little step back and switch my focus back to D3 (which I've been neglecting) for a few days.
My next game outside of Diablo is going to be the Dead Space remake. I've put it off long enough, and I'm ready to visit the Ishimura again.
I love Slay the Spire. It’s been a while since I played it on PC but nowadays I play it on my phone or tablet every now and then. I backed the Slay the Spire boardgame on Kickstarter that will be shipped some time soon and I can’t wait to try it out.
I think the max I got was Ascension 6, I’m not that good at deck builders I think. The Silent and Ironclad are my favourites and I play whatever fits my mood. Getting insane high block together body slam is just as much fun as getting insanely high poison stacks. I never once made it through act 4 sadly.
The music is also something I really enjoy, it fits the game so well! Sometimes I listen to it while driving or working.
You can totally do act 4, I believe in you! Just make sure to remove weak cards (strikes) whenever you can. And try to get enough card draw (an upgraded Pommel Strike does damage and draws 2 cards for example).
