Got to chapter 12 in A Plague Tale: Innocence. I had thought there were 13 chapters but it doesn’t appear to be near the end, then I read there are 18, which is about right for where I think I am in the story.

One thing for sure, I don’t want it to end! This is one of the most well-written stories I have played in a long time. Instead of a game, it sinks me in like I am in a really good book.

As the game goes on and Amicia improves her sling and the various ammunitions there are more opportunities to take action against your foes. Mostly though, I make use of distractions and shadows.

When I do feel rather like taking out some frustrations on the soldiers, it is very satisfying to knock out their light source or throw rat attractant on them and watch rats strip them to the bone like pirrhanas! :cool:

I definitely recommend this game. The apparent ease with which Asobo Studios has me invested in seeing these two siblings succeed, rooting for them is incredible.

Of all the shots I've taken, this comes close to being the perfect portrayal of that true star of the game, their relationship. The devs succed hands down in making you give a damn by just perfectly prtraying their interaction and Hugo's dependance.

a bit of Rebel Galaxy can't hurt ... specially when you forgot you did clear the main story and just roam for fun hunting bounties and all mission are in the "low Threat" level ...

Finished Kathy Rain...it left me with mixed feelings. On one hand I generally liked the gameplay except a few spots where I got stuck not knowing what to do and there's no objective/hint system so I had to consult a community guide on Steam. On the other hand, the narrative...at first it was compelling, then it got obvious, then it got confusing, and finally disappointing. I can't really explain it better than that without spoilers. It took me about 7 hours to finish so, it's not a bad game...it's just a meh game.

Then I tried some GemCraft - Chasing Shadows. I'm on the fence with this one too. The main selling point is that it is really freakin long (190ish maps I think?) but I'm stuck on like the 20th because they're sending bigger units than I have enough mana to contend with at the start. I've probably retried it 10 times and haven't come up with a solution. An alternative map can't be played until I progress past the one I'm on. There is a third option that I will probably try next but there's a bonus objective in there that can't be completed until after I finish the one I'm stuck on.

If I can't make progress on GemCraft, I'm probably going to play LEGO Batman to kill time until Tuesday when the last two trials unlock in Assassin's Creed Origins and Whispers from the Rift becomes available.


Edit: Yup, was able to do the mission with the side quest I can't do yet. Tricky bastards...

Edit: I spoke too soon, second mission after that one and I'm getting by butt kicked. :(

To summarize:
E6: Unplayable because need freezing.
H1: Early game defeat (freezing becomes available at H4).
M4: Early game defeat.

Logical conclusion is game has serious balancing problems.

Solutions:
1) 49% memory hack mana
2) 51% play LEGO Batman

I'm gonna shower on it. :roll:

Edit: Decided to go with #1 (memory editing is a game in itself, you know :laugh:). If that doesn't go well, will switch to #2.


Edit: Game seems hardened against memory editing. Despite that, I discovered that spending skill points means you get less starting mana so you have to balance skills versus starting mana. Based on that discovery, I was able to progress in the game without hacking. After completing several more levels, I got bored of the repetition. Time for LEGO Batman! :D

I'm finally getting around to playing Crysis 3 and I don't think much of it so far. It's very pretty visually but it's just not drawing me in like 1 and 2 did. Maybe it will get better.

The setting of overgrown and ruined NYC drew me in and was the real star. It reminded me of Enslaved: Odyssey To The West and how overgrown it was in the city. Love that type of environment!

A Plague Tale: Innocence update. I completed the game. The last chapter is a short wrap up...after the credits. The final boss fight was 3 rounds and frustrating. It involved juggling where you were in a rapidly diminishing area because of rats, avoiding the boss’s different attacks, and having to juggle different sling ammo and control your younger brother. It was out of character with the rest of the game and caused multiple rage quits.

That said, this is one of the best games I have played! It moves into my top 20. The story is superbly written and presented. The voice acting excellent and believable, while the relationship between the siblings is extremely well done. It causes you to believe in them and root for them, without the devs overtly pushing “you must care for your brother” onto you. Aside from that, it is extremely beautiful and screenshot worthy!

I have not monitored continually, mostly being drawn into the game immersion, but anytime I have glanced up at the osd it has shown 60fps on 1440p, with my 1080Ti and getting old 4790k.

Game of the year for me. It is really only one of three games released this year I have played but Exodus is definitely in my top 20 (if I could think of 20) and likely in my top 10 (not even sure if I could come up with 10 as the ole brain doesn't work as good as it should anymore).

I feel like going through torture so I've started a fresh run of Darkest Dungeon, this time with all the expansions/content.

Oh... man. Its worth doing this (even though I know it all already) even just to hear the narrator again. So good.

Before starting a quest...
A mecca of madness and morbidity… your work begins.

Or when you manage a critical hit / one hit kill while your party is so close to dying, to then hear that same voice exclaim "Decimated!"

This game remains a brilliant display of artistic vision and how a very simple concept can be so, so great. If you haven't seen it yet, do it. Apparently a sequel has been announced as well...

Hnnngh. Can't. Stop. 126 hours, level 109. I hope once I'm finished with this character I'll have to update the mod loadout, but it can take hours to set everything up perfectly. Mod it 'till it crashes.

Skyrim Together on open beta. They finally allow for private servers and it is pretty stable. Nightly builds. Only had a single crash in several hours of gameplay. Here is the link to download

Honestly I'm waiting for OpenMW to become a multi-game manager, it's already merging with TES3MP, and the road map has newer file format in the works. There was a lot of controversy surrounding SkyrimTogether, so I stayed out of watching what was new. Plus, I don't have any friends that like Elder Scrolls. I'm more interested in the technical aspects.

I was playing ST on closed beta and it was really unstable. The game on open beta is now stable enough to play. However your friends don't always animate properly and followers are invisible to other players most of the time. My friends are running a ton of different mods each and I am running basically nothing, just a quickie mod I made in the creation kit that buffs spells a bit, and I am still able to play with my friends without crashing, though I don't see some of the stuff they would see.

I'm still on the summer reruns of Assassin's Creed. Got though Black Flag, now I'm in the 5th sequence of Unity. Not one bug yet.
Now that's what I call a willing wench.

I've been enjoying killing demons in Shadow Warrior 2. I quickly dropped my original idea of trying to beat the game using only the sword since there are so many weapons in the game. Gotta try them all. :D

Not a fan of the gear upgrade system though, too much micro-management.

It really ups the game though and makes some of the really hard stuff maneagable! Plus you can upgrade different weapons to deal with different enemy types.
