Yakuza Gaiden, the ending is a gut punch and leads hopefully to a good ending for Kiryus story. A love letter and greatest hits of the Yakuza series.

You could skip through the side quests as they are mostly a repeat of earlier games.

Starfield. I know people are polarized about it, but I’m enjoying it.

Also Valheim.

Finally done with Pathfinder: Kingmaker. This is a bad game, that nobody should play. The last third was a complete slog and not fun at all. Far too many fights and just full of enemies with bloated health. The post-game epilogue cards, where you get told what happened with your kingdom and companions, was pretty nice though.

I will give the developer, Owlcat, another chance with Rogue Trader, that’s getting released soon, although I’ll wait for some early reports of the game first, since buggy / broken launches seem to be par for the course for them.

Other than that, I also played more Risk of Rain Returns. I managed to beat the game a second time, but I’m just far too inconsistent. I think I’ll do some of the Providence Trials next week and unlock more skills and try some more characters.

Weekly raiding in FFXIV with friends, M+ in WoW by myself, also started back up in EVE Online again, just grinding a bit of isk to get back into the feel of things again.

For non-MMO stuff, I’ve been slowly getting through Cyberpunk 2077 and working on my all-numbered-FFs playthrough. Still playing Guilty Gear Strive, as well. God, there are too many video games to play.

Getting a little bored in 2077, the DLC patch hasn’t changed anything I had real criticisms of and the gameplay isn’t significantly better to make up for it, but I’ll try to power through and see if the DLC itself is any good.

Also a bit into FF2, and the leveling system is…strange. Definitely not a huge fan of leveling individual weapons/spells, especially on a per-action basis. But while the story seems basic so far, I’m interested enough to keep going with it.

As for Guilty Gear, I’m trying to get more consistent with my buttons, and trying to push myself to actually remember combos in matches. I’m good at neutral, I just don’t get enough from winning it to actually win enough games to progress where I’m at rank-wise (floor 8-9). So, getting more reward from winning neutral seems like the next big step on the path to improvement right now.

Who's your Guilty Gear character?

Leshoyadut,
@Leshoyadut@kbin.social avatar

I main Testament. Bottom 3 character, but I love their playstyle and aesthetic, so I’m in it for the long haul with them.

Big things for me right now are learning to do an RC or WA off of hit confirms.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

Bottom 3 character

Nah, in most modern fighting games, the tier lists just don't matter. Whatever tiers exist in Strive are pretty tight these days, and they mostly always have been. You're good with whoever you like. I play a character with a white WA (Goldlewis), so I'm using it more as a neutral tool than a combo tool, but yeah, the general flow is just hit 1, hit 2, special move, red RC, then whatever's good for your character to juggle with. So since you're blessed with one of the game's best 6Ps, stain state confirms, and enormous buttons that win neutral against almost everyone, you're usually doing Slash, Heavy Slash, reaper, RC, and you can just about make up the rest and it won't matter much. You'll get that in no time. Go into training mode, practice it against a bot set to block after the first hit. Then when you've got that down, set them to block randomly so you can practice confirms.

Leshoyadut,
@Leshoyadut@kbin.social avatar

Heh, appreciate the positivity. I don’t mean to say that, because they’re bottom 3, that means Testament can’t win. I mostly use tier lists to help recognize where I may have trouble and need to work to learn the particulars, such as for matchups. The game is very well balanced overall, despite a few small hiccups.

But yeah, my f.S is definitely my main tool for getting hits to confirm off of at range. HS is decent, but very slow and can be punished hard by any sort of disconnected hitbox, so I tend to use it predictively and as a followup more than a poke; great for juggling, though, since it hard bounces. Fireball is a staple, as well, and Arbiter is nice for checking movement (catches dashs if they start out of range).

But yeah. Mostly just need to practice actually using RCs and WAs in real matches. Practiced combos in the lab enough that more isn’t helping a ton.

Thanks for the advice!

  • I finished DmC (again) last week, in my quest to play all DMC games before PS+ pulls that DMC5 Special Edition. To me, it’s better than DMC4 in terms of platforming, and to some extent the combat. The character design is not good, and the writing is good in some parts, but terrible in others. The button configuration sometimes gives me finger cramps.
  • Then I’m continuing my quest to get infinite rocket launcher for Resident Evil HD Remake. I’m using the IGN guide, which I split into smaller parts for each save, annotating it with items in my inventory. I’m better at kiting zombies now. I think it’s doable as long as I can remember what to do next. The annoying thing right now is that I’d accidentally open up the map, when I’m trying to open up the inventory.
  • I will probably start Ys Monstrum Nox this week, it’s part of my “play all these games before PS+ pulls it from the offerings” theme. It’s gonna be exciting, since I enjoyed Celceta and Lacrimosa a lot.

Had a good playthrough of Dishonoured 2 and Death of the Outsider on my Deck. They run extremely well on the Steam Deck and I found a control layout that I liked.

Dishonored 2 is on a 90% discount! Just picked it up, never having played it before.

What’s the control layout you found that works best for you?

    Crystal_Shards64, do games w What are some video games that had remarkably hectic public reaction at physical stores during release day?

    The only midnight launch I ever got to be a part of was the launch of the New 3DS XL. I got the majoras mask edition. It was actually a relatively small midnight launch as far as they used to go. That being said I’m really glad I got to experience at least one. I’m not sure if we’ll see massive midnight launches in the future.

    I remember always seeing and hearing about midnight launches during the 360/ps3/wii era. I remember halo 2 and halo 3 brought in massive crowds.

    When the 360 launched my dad went and waited outside a Wal-Mart in -25°c weather for a couple hours. I wanted to join but had school the next morning. Probably for the best as I would have been a whining little baby about the cold lol.

    If you’re curious I think there’s a lot of youtubers that cover midnight launches/history

    I just sunk basically an entire extended weekend on Killing Floor 2. It’s garbage entertainment but I can’t stop playing 😭

    Watching George Romero got me in the mood for zombie sims, so I’ve also been edging my way back into playing Cataclysm: DDA.

    MrTolkinghoen,

    I have so many hours in KF 1 and still play it. Never got into 2 but really looking forward to 3.

    MangoKangaroo,

    KF1 was a huge part of my childhood, and I actually went back recently and started grabbing HoE achievements for the first time. Looking forward to 3 as well. :D

    DoctorButts, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 12th

    Been testing out lots of stuff recently:

    • Jagged Alliance 3 - Maybe I was too harsh with this game, but the whole experience felt decidedly "budget." I get that a $45 game today is more like a $30 game of only a few years ago, or a $20 game before that, though everything felt rough around the edges: writing, the sparse weapon and enemy types, the unexciting stock-looking art.
    • Iron Oath - It's like a hybrid between Darkest Dungeon and Battle Brothers. You manage a mercenary company by hiring and equipping them, then directing them across an overworld map as in-game days pass. Then you dive into dungeons, progressing from room to room very much like DD, and when there is combat, it's turn-based tactics with pre-deployment on a grid. I played this game nonstop for two days before I tore myself away and got my ass back to work lol. My primary issue is lack of content and lack of combat variety, I'm only halfway through the main campaign but after 100+ battles, they start to feel kinda samey.
    • Despot's Dystopian Army Builder - This is made in the same universe as the creator's prior game, Despot's Game. If you are familiar with these titles, please tell me if/why you like them, because I don't understand their appeal. These look like games, they sound like games, they present themselves like games, but these are not games, these feel as if they were made by someone who has only ever seen other people play video games and never played them personally.

    Half life Alyx. I hadn't played it in well over a year, but decided to get the old VR set out again. It is such a fantastic game. The details are absolutely amazing.
