Still grinding World of Warcraft: Legion Remix. Less raiding this week, I’m only clearing each raid twice a day, instead of three times, but did a couple more Mythic+ dungeons to knock out achievements.
The next phase will start in a few days, along with “new” quests, but more importantly another raid to farm every day. At that point, I’ll probably only be running the raids on the highest difficulty, and skip all the others.
Can't wait for a new generation to rediscover the exciting fun of having to survive Kil'Jaeden's balls and whatever that darkness phase is even supposed to be, despite the boss technically hitting 1 HP in 5 seconds.
I basically skipped Legion back in the day, because of how ass the Legendary system was on launch, and never went back, so I never really did any of the raids.
I guess you mean getting knocked around by some orbs, which might instantly kill you because you fall off the platform? Stuff like that is basically the only thing that could be an issue.
From what I read in different comments, the final raid, Antorus, is supposed to have another boss, that could be a problem, Eonar.
Blizzard has actually changed one boss so far (Il’gynoth, where you have to use some blobs to blow up this big eye), although that was probably more because people deal too much damage and would regularly blow up the blobs on accident, the second they spawn, which was just annoying and extended the fight needlessly. Maybe they’ll do more changes, since you can clear these raids daily for the time of the event.
After playing the story through a few times, it’s hard to actually stay invested in it anymore, I also did all side quests one run too, and I’m not keen on repeating that. However, 2077 is the only game where I will start it up just to drive around and listen to some music, whether in game or something I pick myself, and then just turn it off. Usuallt for 30-45 minutes. And I played many of the GTAs and all but the first Saints Rows. But only 2077 will I drive around just for the hell of it.
Crosscode has a ton of dialogue changed if you turn on NG+ modifiers, such as carrying over levels or using a “cheat code” for ludicrous damage, 1shotting almost everything.
One NPC quotes the “you cheated not the game, but yourself” copypasta.
I mean, its kind of a given since the game is effectively a politics simulator choose your own adventure romp. But seriously, I don’t think I’ve seen many other games be this detailed. There’s wikipedia page level text for countries, individuals in your and other governments, cities, factions, and others that, while overwhelming, also shows just how many factors and information you have to understand as a president of a nation — it adds to the pressure and sense of responsibility that you have to make heads or tails on all of this.
No matter how good intentioned you are as a president, you’re still just a person. You’re bound to not know everything. You’re bound to be overwhelmed. And your lack of knowledge, intentional or not, leads to bad stuff… Recession, losing your popularity, waning influence in your party, broken family life, assassination, all out war with a neighboring country… Worst of all, you are to blame since they’re all consequences of your actions.
Not sure if it’s my absolute favorite, but Pathologic has fascinated me for years.
There are so many strange and unique aspects to the world (especially the Polyhedron, an impossible tower floating above the town) that already make for excellent world building, but when they come together it creates a feeling I haven’t felt from any other world.
You know how Lovecraftian horror has a very distinct feeling? The world of Pathologic makes me feel something vaguely similar, but completely unique - no horror or aliens, but the feeling of powers existing far beyond our understanding combined with people who somehow do understand small parts, and the consequences of their choices affecting everyone… it’s really hard to put into words, but it feels like it created its own genre.
Apart from Mass Effect, Pillars of Eternity, and Deus Ex as others have already mentioned, I’d like to also add:
Grim Dawn.
The conflicts in its Universe feels reasonable, all the factions have their history and reasons of existence, there are beneficial and selfish, but no clear black and white, and everything interacts. The Lore is very good for an ARPG that focuses on combat, loots and built.
Still playing Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, I’m in Master Rank 5* missions now and slowly grinding through, not sure how much farther I’ll keep playing, but it’s still kind of fun.
I’ve also been dipping into the original Hades, I bounced off this game before because it was so grindy, buy I’m following some build guides now and I’ve managed to defeat Hades once, so I’ll stick with it some more.
If we’re including fan games for preexisting games, I so far absolutely love Pokemon Empire, the Reborn style difficult fan game set in a region that basically just finished a full-on civil war and you and a friend are finally able to return to the region. Not really spoilers since you are basically told that in the first part of the game.
I am not gonna give away spoilers if possible, but the region feels like it’s divided after the war, which gives it a more real feeling than any official game or basically any fan game. Various NPCs question whether things were better before the war, some want the old monarchy back in power, some are more in favor of the new government, etcetera. It feels less like a typical run through the gyms, defeat evil team, beat elite 4 and champion style game so far with what I have played and how far they are in development.
I like how the writers didn’t just decide to make everyone into a hivemind of “villain team bad!” ( or more than likely just ignore them, like in majority of the official games ) and have people who support them and people who start to question whether or not the villains are in the wrong or not.
I also like how in the tilesets they used, some parts of the region look like they are wartorn to a degree and are a region that is starting the rebuilding process.
I wanna say more things, but then I’d be spoiling stuff and I really don’t wanna spoil things for this game.
The fuck. I’ve never heard of this. Haven’t heard anything that interesting in pokemon since years ago back when I was using smogon university to dig into the meta and play on some online simulator where everyone just locked their pokemon at lv50 and could choose all their IV/EV distribution, natures, and move loadouts for the ultimate meta experiance.
The fun part about this is I didn’t know it existed until maybe a few years back when someone I watch on yt who plays pokemon fan games and ROM hacks ( HeroVoltsy ) played it. And even then, I think I only found out by scrolling through his playlists.
Will say, just like a lot of fan projects like this, the game requires you to join their discord server if you don’t already have the download link. Sadly probably one of the best and worst ways to try and keep the project going while also keeping the corpo lawyers off their back and also being accessible to the majority of people.
Can’t say I know what simulator you are talking about, though. I think the only one I know of is Showdown.
