This review is poetry. I read it completely although I don’t care for the game. Thanks for that.

My wife and I still have all three of these systems. All three still work. They are still fun.

bus_factor,

But do you have the Tribal Edition?

rozodru, do games w Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery

man those Tribal GBA SPs. yeah I remember when Nintendos advertising in the US was way more edgy. like when the GameBoy Pocket and GameBoy Color came out the commercials for those were dark.

I have to admit, the GBA SP was pretty hot. I still have mine.

Really want to find GBA Tribal Edition in the wild—if it actually exists.

if it actually exists.

Its easily available, but I suppose by ‘in the wild’ you mean picking it up in a secondhand store, rather than online marketplaces. If not, have a look at buyee to pick up a bargain.

Interestingly they command a higher price than I expected on eBay.

MentalEdge,

Definitely exists. Still have mine.

I'm definitely old since, to me, "vintage" automatically means cartridge games.

Finished the Lies of P: Overture DLC. It was a mixed bag for me. A rough beginning, which got better in the second half, and I got back into the rhythm after not playing this game in a year.

Not sure how to feel about the final boss. The setup was alright, the fight itself not bad, but for me, it was just constantly blocking the 10-20 hit combos of the boss, then maybe get one hit in. This boss in particular, but also other fights, felt like they weren’t made for a player like me, who beat the game once and then came back for the DLC.

Performance wise, this week I noticed a lot more frame drops, mainly when you move the camera. I think it’s connected to small particles flying around, since in the epilogue, your base is just full of these tiny sparks, and fps just tanks. It would be unplayable, if you did more than just walk around for a minute or two. Otherwise, the drops weren’t as bad, and they never caused a death or something, but it’s definitely something the devs should look at.

I’m venturing into Transport Fever 2 as a total newbie and I definitely fucked up my first attempt make a profitable line on medium mode, by overspending with a train line in 1850 already. Imma try only some bus routes now as a start.

axib,

I’ve been interested in that! How do you like it compare to games like OpenTTD, Cities: Skylines, and Factorio (sort of)?

I love the trains in Factorio, and I enjoyed trying out OpenTTD for a bit, but I eventually got bored with it because airlines were easy money, and it was too easy to lose money when building a train network, and it took too long to expand. In Cities: Skylines I could never really figure out how to fix traffic, I felt like silly little things were causing it to back up. I don’t think I ever really got seriously into rail traffic in it, though.

PrivateNoob,

Ahh thanks for asking! I’ve just recently started playing the game starting in 1850 on the slowest date speed but it really does seem like a perfect game for autists (cause trains). My experience only goes to 1866, so do take that in fact.

My only reference point is Cities Skylines and obviously speaking the transportation aspect of the TPF2 is way more in-depth than C:S. Currently I’m easily managing the traffic issues, although truck stations can be sometimes a traffic bottleneck. Figuring out train routes, putting down signals, passing lines can be a good brain game for me which gives me a lot of satisfaction if I succeed at it. In terms of difficulty, I’m playing on medium without industry frequencies and the game just “snowballs” in difficulty. So if you prop down 1 or 2 profitable lines then your life already starts to get noticeably easier over time.

Finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and found it really disappointing.

I did like the idea of the whole story, but overall I didn’t really care about anything. The prologue and the initial parts of act 1 where really strong, but after a while it wasn’t really doing it for me. It picks back up right at the end, but the events there feel rushed, and while I do like where it goes, it didn’t really vibe with me.

The combat on the other hand is a mess. The real time defensive actions are overpowered, as they completely prevent damage, so the only meaningful stats and equipment become the ones that increase the damage you deal. Before the end of act 1, I reached the damage cap on single hits and very quickly after that I reached it on multi hit moves. The enemies also follow the nonsensical animation design of Elden Ring where they hold a pose, twitch and feint, trying to get you to react earlier, which I just don’t find fun.

Music was great tho, and I like the aesthetic even if after a while the environments got samey.

Omfg we are so old :D :3

Nelots, do games w Day 360 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Halo 3 is the only Halo game who's campaign I have never beaten other than Infinite, which I haven't touched and probably never will. I was working on fixing that, deciding to play through each Halo game in order of release on legendary, but I got side tracked. I had planned to first beat the whole Mass Effect trilogy on insanity before returning to Halo, as I've only every played the first game, but then I got side tracked again. Now I'm playing Kenshi. It's no wonder I never finish any game series... I always have the desire to restart from the beginning of a series each time, but have an attention span this small.

Kenshi is worth it lol. I don’t own it myself but played it at a friends house and had fun

I don’t know anything about that game, but good luck 👍

I personally enjoy grand strategy games. But seeing a game about an ongoing war is somewhat strange

Lembot_0004,

Ongoing war? Nah, that is an absolutely typically boring WW2-themed game.

Honestly, going 27 years (of gaming), and I never was smarter and quicker to make tactical decisions. My hand may move slower, but I don't rely on dexterity when flanking your cover.

And other gaming skills, only better.
