basically saying that the story that the devs ID meant for doom (and the extended lore) is not doom :laugh: ... yep forgetfulness ... in 93 they didn't expand the story that much that's a given although they already pointed Doom to be RPG related (D&D and W40k being behind that), Doom 2016 ('16? Doom 1916? :laugh: ) introduced weapon mods and extended lore (yep you see the sentinels and the Slayer is one of them) and no he's not the only one to be able to kill demons, he's only human and a part of an army, still in the end he's the tougher of them and thus he is epic, 2016 and Eternal just filled the voids that some hardcore fan wanted : lore, how the invasion came to, why, who, where? although i do not consider Maykr to be a childish spelling of Maker because it is not what they are, although i did find interesting the addition of a 3rd party in the lore and Sam not being the "bad guy" we thought him to be due to 2016 ending

Eternal is a bit less surprising than 2016 because it is really hard to top over 2016 indeed, a "tall order", in essence it's a perfect reenactment since Doom II was less acclaimed than Doom'93
i remember an official guidebook for '93 , that i should still have somewhere, claiming that "headshots" were the essential in Doom, yeah... without the Z axis, headshot :laugh: also extended lore was a bit more silly, Slayer became made because demons killed his pet Daisy ... in essence John Wick is his spiritual successor, his Beagle was named Daisy... :laugh:

all in all it's down to personal preferences indeed

Modded Skyrim is something I've gotten into only recently and without a doubt it's a thousand times more interesting than vanilla. It's strange though because for me, Skyrim is ultimately a really bad game.
well Skyrim is a masterpie.... wait nope ... just as all bethesda games, you need to heavily mod it to be good .... aside Doom
and yep there is a lot left to be desired, once i finished my first playthrough my ~ 1000hrs i put in was mostly playing for playing (aka for fun ... technically what a game is for) heavily modding it (well that's what Skyrim, Oblivion or Morrowind were for, "Mod It Until It Crash!" ) because the community always do better than what Bethesda/Zenimax do ...
(which is why i kinda hate TESO for one thing ... no mods since it's a MMORPG)

now, what am i playing atm ...

oh, Guilty Gear Isuka, because the GG Boost mode (a Street of Rage/Double Dragon akin mode )

and oh dog, bridget backpedal is hilarious

good old school resolution :laugh: yes it's 480p fixed

nonetheless enjoyable until my accu in my pad decided to throw the towel,
almost 2/3rd life chipped in the blink of time needed to reach space on the keyboard to pause the game :oops: but yaaayyy "mission complete"
20200426144717_1.jpg20200426144831_1.jpg

and the famous backpedal animation
Webp.net-gifmaker (2).gif


now i need to figure out why Bridget outfit is green instead of her canon blue ... i hate using character with alternate color ... i'm a puriste ... (if i do a 2p game ... i take the canon and the opponent has no other choice if he decide to take the same char then to take an alternate color )

I find GRID 2019 more forgiving than GRID Autosport and GRID 2, with all three on the same difficulty setting. 2019 has become much more arcadey and the so-called Nemesis - a driver who becomes homicidal if you scratch his paint too often - isn't very difficult to outrun, so I may need to up the difficulty setting and then see what it's like.
Graphically, it's more superior and since I use a keyboard, I haven't really noticed much of a difference in the handling, except that my cars tend to stick to the road better.
In a word, it's less challenging on a medium difficulty setting than the other two.
The only GRID I extensively played was the very first one. The later ones didn't seem to find the balance between arcade racing and simulation like the first one did, imo. Though I admit, I haven't given Autosport enough chance to impress me. I have it in my Steam library, maybe I should install it to have a go.

Oh noez! ran into an arena area, ran out of ammo, melee attack do little damage but luckily in that one you have a infinite plasma pistol ... had to glory kill for health (naaahhh no other thing dropped from glory and had to put them into kill mode, no glory kill right off the bat, except on the weaker "zombies") and then a last possessed soldier ... got me ...
kinda a bit like Eternal but on Mars (red is better than blue! and i only talk for planet ... no AMD/Intel relation! I SWEAR!)

i wonder from where came armor and weapon upgrades point ...

nope ... i am not cut for that specially not couch playing...

oh, well at last i am the only gold helmet in the area ... the other 5 are silver :D
20200426192220_1.jpg
yes, i am aware that my health and armor are 9999, that was for the posthume screenshot, i will stick to Hurt me plenty or Ultra Violence

alright back at it ... kinda motivated now ...


edit: yep to drop ammo you need...to use

Started Torment: Tides of Numenara for realsies and golly it's good. Reminds me a lot of gene wolfe but in a good way. I've played about four hours, pretty much all of it being spent on reading. The worldbuilding is masterful for a game.

Keep us posted every once in a while, I'm genuinely curious if its worth going through, held off for now...

So nothing particularly interesting happening here, just a few screens I took to compare with vanilla. Modded Skyrim is something I've gotten into only recently and without a doubt it's a thousand times more interesting than vanilla. It's strange though because for me, Skyrim is ultimately a really bad game. It's undoubtedly the beginning of the end for the lifeblood of Bethesda's brand of CRPG as we know/knew it. Boy do I have a laundry list of problems with this game.

For a start, I don't like the nature of this game, where it's like everything takes place in its own bubble of space and time. Why is it possible for you to become the Archmage of Winterhold, a guardian of the Twilight Sepulcher and a son/daughter of the Night Mother, all at the same time? With no-one so much as blinking an eyelid? Moreover, and perhaps even more egregiously, how on Nirn is it possible for the player to become involved with several different deities simultaneously without any kind of negative or positive effect? Why is Meridia not having a go at me for being a master necromancer? Why is Nocturnal so utterly indifferent to world affairs that she apparently has no issue with the Dragonborn becoming a Nightingale? Does she even realise we're a child of Akatosh, an Aedrothic god, first and foremost? Do any of these Daedric princes care about gaining/losing followers? You'd be forgiven for thinking they did because of their persistent interference in Tamriel and yet they're apparently oblivious to one another, pun not intended.

Why is the civil war so badly constructed? It's literally a case of us being a 1-man army for either one of the poorly-fleshed out factions and the fights, particularly the final city battles, are totally underwhelming. It never feels like there's a civil war going on. Ever. There couldn't possibly be just two factions duking it out, no civil war ever has been just two factions. There should be more than just the Stormcloaks who are rebelling and there should be challenges to Ulfric's leadership. The whole civil war plot is ultimately just completely flaccid.

Why is it possible to master every skill and spell there is? What happened to classes? Bethesda went so far overboard with this it's unbelievable. Level 81 is supposedly the hard level cap. Only it isn't a cap at all because by this time you reach this level, your skills are all maxed out. And to make matters so much worse, they put in some kind of prestige function with the DLC, where you can essentially prestige reset your skills back to 15, making them "legendary", although I'm not sure what it is that makes them legendary other than a Dragonborn icon.

I am gonna stop there because this ain't a thread to bitch in, not really. Just airing my problems with what is supposedly one of the best games of all time. I think people were only impressed with it because it was a lot better than the games that existed up to 2011, although Fallout New Vegas was the far better RPG. There's no doubt that mods make it an amazing game to play but they cannot unfortunately wash away the core problems of the main game. I'll be back with some cool screens if I see anything interesting. Might pop in with some Warhammer stuff as well, maybe some Mordhau and Witcher violence too at some point.

Oh yes, many pages were written in this topic about Skyrim. Do share your woes, I'm sure there's a few readers here for it, @robot zombie has a knack for it too :) Its a pain we all share, I think, strange love/hate thing really :D

a bit of history ...
"The Amagi was undergoing work on these conversions in the Yokosuka Naval Yard when the Great Kanto earthquake struck in September 1923. The damages to the structure of the Amagi as a result of the earthquake were too severe to allow completion of her conversion. Demolition of the Amagi began April 14, 1924 and her remains were sold off as scrap. Of the three remaining Amagi-class battlecruisers only the Akagi completed the conversion to an aircraft carrier, the Atago and Takao being broken up from scrap in July 1924."

Finished Banner Saga 3 (good game, some tough battles that pissed me off made me lower difficulty and rushed to the end which is truly affected by choice on the way-got a good end though) and started Bard's Tale IV which is a pretty nice game imo for the first person-RPG-turn based-combat genre. Continuing Division 2 on co-op also (wouldn't bother for solo playing even if it IS a good game in all aspects) and casually playing Forza Horizon 4 (which is great as an arcade driving game but awful on its control sensitivity which cannot be fixed though its options).

I always hated the master crafted armor as it made Geralt look fat and awkward.
depend on which master crafted you pick ...

Yeah it looks fat but from the number of layers of clothing, it made sense.

that kind of armor has just 2 layer, the barrel shaped steel plate armor and one padded gambeson (usually 4-5mm thick, without the mail about 1cm with the mail )

if you assume "fat" = "richer" as a mindset, it's likely an explanation why most medieval armor were shaped like that ... (and not because "it was easier" to shape them like that)

now ... if you have a complex you could use something like
1588005840698.png


or, as mentioned above, an Ursine
or a Feline
1588005908248.png

or a Wolven
1588005961550.png

or finally a Viper
1588006013599.png

my favorites are Ursine and Viper tbh.

but i agree a Griffin barrel shaped armor fite blood and wine:laugh:

edit: given how Geralt move when he fight ... the Griffin is about the only armor in the game (out of the school type) that would hinder him :roll:

I have some of the armor in the game. Of course Viper that similar to Kaer Morhen armor looks the best on Geralt. But since this is a game I would like him to fit with the scene :D

I'd rather decrease the difficulty level than choose a stronger armour that doesn't fit the setting. :D
I'm a set maniac anyway. I can't go on with the main quest until I have my matching set of armour and weapons. Not only in The Witcher, but in any RPG.

you got me bursting out in a loud laughter with that one :laugh: word of truth (except when although you play on the higher level difficulties even the weakest armour can be enough hehe ... )
I'm a set maniac anyway. I can't go on with the main quest until I have my matching set of armour and weapons. Not only in The Witcher, but in any RPG.
word of truth number 2 ... not only in solo game for me nonetheless, the best day in my mmorpg'er life was when trasmogrification was introduced to each and every single mmorpg i played (i.e.: WoW obviously, FFXIV or some mmo have basic set and then costume set for cosmetics like Tera online )

Still playing DARK SOULS III. I accidentally gave an NPC something I shouldn't have. NOW I gotta make an entirely new character. Maybe I should backtrack to DARK SOULS I & II. Trilogy is complete editions and I don't have Remastered for 1 yet. Might give DEMON'S SOULS more of a play through RPCS3 emulator. BloodBorne is at a friendo's house since I donut have PS4 you see.
