I shopped around gog and found xiii, street racing stndicate, underrail and alan wake. I started ubderrail and ive been getting clobbered by everyone but its fun. I play it on deck and pc, using heroic to sync saves.

Did you get XIII classic or the remake? I played classic just recently as a fun retro game that I missed back in the day. It’s got so much style, even though some levels felt a little clunky. It’s a shame no other game went for the same art style, they really nailed that look of “play in the panels of a comic book”.

endeavor,

I got the classic thaks to gog having a review system. I am somewhat excited to try out this legendary game and see what the buzz is about.

This week I played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 which I started a while ago. Compared to the first one which I did not like at all, both story and gameplay are a huge improvement. I actually am interested in the characters now and the combat is pretty fun, altho I still haven’t had a chance to experiment much with it.

I have however a few minor complaints: the blade gacha is a terrible concept and I can’t understand why it was put in the game; on handheld, performance is generally good but the graphics are ruined by a really strong sharpening filter; Pyra’s outfit is dumb and doesn’t fit the character.

I’m also playing Chants of Sennarr and it’s really good! I especially liked the design of the first three languages. The artstye is also really nice.

I’m back to Trails of Cold Steel 2. It is better than the first one. It still feels a bit like padding but it doesn’t feel as pointless. The game structure doesn’t feel as formulaic and repetitive, there’s less quests and it moves much quicker. The characters also finally look different from eachother, as they are no longer in uniform.

The issues tho are still mostly the same: the combat is a downgrade from the Crossbell game (the orbment system in Cold Steel is basically materia from FF7, instead of the much more interesting previous implementation) and I don’t care about any of these characters as they barely have a personality (I blame this on the social link-style mechanics and bloated cast).

Bloons Tower Defense 6. I’m mildly ashamed but it’s easy to pick up and put down when I’m busy. I can’t dedicate large blocks of time for gaming anymore

I finished Final Fantasy 7. Compared to Remake or Rebirth this thing just moves, and doesn’t constantly waste your time. However, that also leaves little time for character interaction or development, so that’s where the new games are much better.

Next was Mushroom 11. I played it about halfway almost 10 years ago, and finally decided to go back and finish it. This is a game, where you control some mushroom blob, by erasing parts, causing it to regrow somewhere else, e.g. you erase the backside, and the blob regrows in the front, which makes you move forward. The first three levels are great, but the four levels after that, sometimes require precision, that the game just isn’t build for. I still like the concept, but it really can be frustrating.

Then I started playing through Final Doom’s TNT: Evilution episode. It took me a bit to get my FPS legs back and the first half dozen or so levels were a bit rough, but nothing too bad. I’m playing on Ultra-Violence and with a Pistol Start, so a lot of times, I have to re-play the beginning a couple of times, to get oriented, and look for weapons, while the game just throws Shotgunners and Chaingunners at you to shred you.

Lastly, I returned to Final Fantasy III (Pixel Remaster). The game is basically a bigger and improved FF1, with most of the changes in FF2 removed, for the better I think. The characters are back to being a cardboard cutout though, just like FF1. That’s the one thing FF2 did really well, compared to these first games.

Zainspirowałaś mnie, abym się przyjrzał bliżej Ghostowi. Dla określonych przez Ciebie potrzeb, wygląda to rzeczywiście najlepiej. UX jest jakby pomiędzy Wordpressem a DokuWiki. Z naszego punktu widzenia - budowy infrastruktury dla społeczności - wyklucza go całkowity brak możliwości tworzenia instancji wieloblogowych.

Przynajmniej na razie pozostaniemy przy Wordpressie.

Czyli chodzi o to, że Ghostowi też można w każdej chwili wyciągnąć wtyczkę, tak?

Petros,

Nie. Chodzi mi o to, że jeśli chcemy mieć np. pięć blogów pod Wordpressem, to instalujemy Wordpressa raz, z jednym (dużym) zestawem wtyczek, szablonów i czego tam jeszcze, a każda osoba blogująca sobie z nich wybiera i w ograniczonym zakresie konfiguruje własny blog. Bezpieczeństwo, aktualizacje i inne “grube” zarządzanie jest wykonywane z jednej konsoli (patrz obrazek). Największą taką instalacją jest oczywiście wordpress.com.

Z jednej strony oznacza to, że oczywiście kolektyw hostujący łatwo może każdemu pojedynczemu blogowi “wyciągnąć wtyczkę”, ale z drugiej - że stawianie kolejnych blogów oznacza niewielki jedynie przyrost zużycia zasobów serwera - a co najważniejsze pracy zespołu administrującego.

Z Ghostem i innymi “jednomiejscowymi” platformami jest inaczej. Pięć blogów ghostowych, to pięć oddzielnych instalacji, pięć oddzielnych konsol administracyjnych etc., etc.

It could be so fun, arrows that act as parachutes, grappling hooks, etc. Punching glove arrows

Getting a bit tired of KCD2 by now, not sure what to play next. Might be doing some gamedev for a while instead.

Like a dragon pirate yakuza

Any rgg game is a game I buy. It’s dumb but I love them, especially the action ones where you actually fight (versus the more persona combat oriented ones like 7 and 8). This one is not exceptionally good but the boat parts at least add something new. It’s not bad at all (so far, I’m only a few hours in) but tbh if you don’t like these games you won’t suddenly like this one and if you’re new to the series this definitely isn’t the jump in point

I was playing Project Zomboid because my friends were playing. Turns out they were just waiting for a Star Citizen patch and abandoned PZ when the patch dropped.

I won’t play Star Citizen until they fix optimization issues. Right now it’s a buggy mess with 8 to 10fps.

murmelade,

How did you like PZ? I hear it’s pretty great.

It can be hard and fustrating at times. It’s a zombie game that pulls no punches.

Shoot a gun? Every zombie within half a mile heard that and are now converging on your location.

Hiding in a building? Zombies will break down doors, break in through windows, climb over and under obsticals, etc.

Got a scratch? Theres a chance its the zombie infection. Sympoms set in and you become a zombie

Even on the easiest settings possible, it’s still a challenge to go at it alone.

Add a Sniper Elite like xray slow mo for when you hit enemies with a long range shot or ricochet so you can appreciate breaking the pelvis of a mentally ill man with a boxing glove arrow after aiming for his balls.

Been enjoying the alpha of project CW. love me a high energy tank game. Sad it’s ending today

I played FF7 only and loved it. I did not care for the first remake game, and have not finished it. Hanging at like 70% complete.

16 is absolutely fantastic. I haven’t read any reviews for it so I don’t know what they are saying but I had an absolute blast playing it. Had a smile on my face from beginning to end. Well, I enjoyed it atleast I found the ending very sad.
