I put a lot of time into Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader these last two weeks and finished the game. I had a great time with it, mostly because of the combat, I just really liked it.
Story is kinda meh, because in my run it felt a bit unfocused and bloated. It’s like the devs just wanted to cram as much 40k stuff into it as possible, so story threads just kinda fizzle out or something completely new gets suddenly thrust into the focus. It’s possible that this is because of my choices, how I did quests or if I did or didn’t kill certain NPCs.
This game also made me realize I don’t really like 40k. The whole setting and universe is just too ridiculous, dumb and over the top for me. I’ll still play the occasional 40k game, like Boltgun 2 or Dark Heresy, but it’s not a selling point for me.
I’m definitely gonna do a second playthrough, probably once the second season DLC is released. I actually started another run yesterday, because I just had so much fun with the game, and played through the prologue, making heretical choices, but I’ll try to finally give Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous a proper shot.
I am still hate playing the Oaken Tower Olen beta demo.
I also got back into Mindustry a little and let me tell you how much I hate having to juggle conveyor belts to move everything without getting things accidentally mixed up. Drives me crazy when I have to redo everything because materials are getting accidentally mixed in with the wrong lines. Especially in tight quarters.
Just some additional context, Woden is the Anglo-Saxon name for the same god, worshipped in England prior to the arrival of Christianity. Not too different from how the Roman version of Zeus is Jupiter.
The English word “Wednesday” also etymologically derives from “Woden’s Day,” like how Thursday is also “Thor’s Day”
Rogue Legacy. I really suck at these fast paced reaction games. But I’ll farm some gold casually, upgrade everything and maybe i can brute force the bosses.
On a happy note, I won a giveaway of Vampire Bloodlines. I won’t get into it right away, but it’s good to have it again after many years. Ah, the daughters of Janus…
On an eh note, I was going to quit Star trek online, but it started a gamma recruit event. So even though it’s fomo, I’m like “Yes Founder!” for about an hour almost every day. But by now I’ve got a lot of things i don’t use just sitting there collecting dust, so it’s probably on its last legs.
On a bad note, nah just kidding. No bad note for now.
Couldn’t play much this week, but I got an invite to Deadlock and have been playing that. I’m having fun with it, but I have very little experience with hero shooters and even less with MOBAs, so it’s really confusing at times and feels kind of unlearnable.
Palutena from Kid Icarus Uprising, especially because the internet loves her and Pit’s antics, when I remember most of it was mocking him and gaslighting. I dunno, I like a lot of other bickering duos in games, but she just reminded me too much of grating people in my life. Pit is fine with it, but I somehow doubt asking her to be nicer would help if I was in his position.
In a similiar vein, in Coffin of Andy and Leyley (after overwhelmingly positive reviews baited me into thinking it’s deeper than edgy jokes) I wanted Leyley to just die after an hour or few, but the difference is, she’s flat out evil, and comically so. Palutena is just the realistic, toxic family member, with the excuse being that gods are assholes I guess.
(I didn’t mind Pit and Viridi bickering though, probably because she was an antagonist and Pit/the game doesn’t praise her as much)
I finally got started on Disco Elysium. When I was playing Planescape Torment, I thought the game would have been better if it got rid of combat altogether and just be dialogue. And what do you know! Seems like that’s exactly what DE is. Awesome.
Playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater for the ps1 for the first time since I was a kid. All I can say is I must not have been good at it, this game has a surprisingly high difficulty curve if you want to get all of the points needed for the tapes.
Reaver gets my vote as well. He’s actually worse in Fable 2.
SpoilersHe will kill-steal the final boss, the man who murdered your sister (a young child) and who you’ve been hunting for the entire game spanning decades, if you don’t interrupt his monologue first. He does this because he finds him annoying, not because he has any real beef with him. There’s also a quest when you first try to get his help where he “tricks” you (it’s very obvious, but writer fiat strikes again) into sacrificing your youth to uphold his deal for immortality with some evil fae-like beings (beings who seem to be connected to Jack of Blades, the first game’s villain). He then betrays you to the final boss, apparently just because he’s an asshole. Oh, and he also kills a fan-favorite side character, one of the few people to show you and your sister kindness when you were destitute orphans living on the streets, because Reaver was annoyed that a photograph taken of himself needed to be developed before he could see it.
It’s beyond enraging that you can never get back at him for any of these things. He’s still around generations later in Fable 3, where he’s a wealthy industrialist exploiting orphans. Of course.
