Lichdom - Battlemage (2014)

a slow, repetitive, linear spell slinging action with cumbersome, unintuitive, complicated and almost unfathomable spell crafting (with single column inventories for spell components of ever changing level that keep growing over time and become inconveniently long to scroll up and down that make it difficult to remember the component names you want to compare or combine, especially in case you need to leave the crafting for a short moment to prepare a slightly better spell component in the synthesis menu by combining unneeded components of lesser level), which you have to put up with if you want to survive. the mouse will be tormented in hope to trigger a combo by casting a binding spell and breaking it by a projectile or aoe spell which has destructive augmentation as its defining component (holding button(s) is needed to charge up a spell before casting it as it changes the output damage from low with certain low chance to trigger a critical upto the highest value which is an automatic critical where percentage multipliers apply depending on particular spell augmentations - charging up and casting time are also subjects to augmentations as many things can be tuned to improve responsiveness and symbolize battlemages ability and possibly supremacy after many deaths of course). its going to be tough, if you dont build a strategy. and thats not gonna happen anytime soon if you dont know the system thoroughly beforehand, because the game doesnt let you learn the system any other way than by trying to sling blindly assembled spell variations from what little components you start with and by dying a lot and thus reappearing at the latest checkpoint, where the rarity level of spell augmentations for improved efficiency (that you beat outta the enemies and are automatically attracted to your inventory) is reset as a "reward" for dying. achieved with cry-engine 3, sponsored by AMD. tbh, the internal antialiasing method is kinda shoddy..

That is the most epic "review" I think I have ever seen.

You think it's better then Tera Rising ? I know you experienced a lot of Tera. Even with the recent updates and new gunner class. How would you compare the fighting in Tera vs Final Fantasy ? The dodging and aiming of Tera is unique. The way i see it, it's a mmo. You get quests were you need to kill mobs . So killing mobs over and over and over etc again is all you do. Big mobs,small mobs ,unique mobs, bams,you name it. In Tera you had to be awake,other wise you would get killed every few minutes. Your reaction time had to be perfect.
As for the story line ? There is no story line. It's a mmo. I gived . I tired WoW lord of draenor like a month ago,I was super exacted to finally ever play the amazing World of Warcraft,it left be cold. Couldn't care less about it. Fallowing the story line in 4 days i had lvl 10. Completely super tedious and so boring.
So tell me, how is this Final Fantasy different from anything else ?
I know you are a anime fan, so maybe that is why you feel love for the game ?

as i play both i prefer FFXIV, it has some tera mechanic as the mobs have a mark on the ground for AOE and in line AE, the music is superb the main story line quest is ... well for me... really awesome (some funny sidequest as the Manderville one, screen under xD ) instance are an obligation for advancing (just as in Tera) the class system is enormous (you can do all class on one character also)
reaction time has to be perfect (avoiding AOE PBAE and ILAE in some boss encounter can be pretty tricky)

Manderville goodness

They made another mmorpg and i was excited about this one.
Skyforge gives a new reason (in case anybody need it one ) to randomly kill mobs with other people,and all of this while you'r wearing a nice summer shirt and a very comfortable pair of pants.

You start out as an immortal with a roman looking armor.Then you get to chose whatever you want for appearance. First i thought you get to chose this and stay casual while out of combat in the city. But no, turns out you go out in the field's for some serious hack & slash wearing the same stuff.

The graphics look basic. So you will need a mediocre pc(witch i don't have) to max out the entire thing.
Cool part about this game,is that you can change your class anytime you feel like it. And you have 3 to chose from

With Cryomancer you'l get killed fast. With Lightbinder you'l get killed much slowly . With Paladin you'l get killed,but not before you get to see everybody else die around you.
Sticking with a class is important. Cuz you don't have enough resources to invest in all 3 classes.

It's impossible to do any quest by yourself. The lowest difficulty is medium and even so with 3 players it ca be challenging enough to make it fun (or frustrating). You are immortal, and you get to help humans kill the bad guys. Every female npc in game has big breast,witch is good,and the only aspect of the story line that keeps you interested (if your into that sort of thing),if not just press space bar.You will not miss a thing.
You kill some mobs and then you move to another area of the map for some more questing.

Best thing about the game,water/ice effect. It looks a bit like cryengine (Lichdom Battlemage)

After finishing Metro 2033 Redux and Last Light Redux, I started again with The forest, a great survival horror game.
Have this game in Steam library from more than a year now and I can say that in his actual stage is perfectly playable.

So after an airplane crash you wake up only to see someone is taking away your little son, and here starts your adventure on this beautiful island.
You will have to find food (hunt or recollect), water, build a shelter, weapons and try to avoid or kill the cannibals who live on the same island.
This game has a big amount of gore and great looking graphics.

Only 6 years late, I'm playing Red Faction: Guerilla. This is one really fun game! The combat gets frantic at times, and I can destroy almost anything! My favorite when EDF APC's show up is to peppper groups of them with charges and and then explode them. That's good for 10-20 soldiers at a time.

Finished Mars: War Logs. I quite enjoyed it. It's nothing totally awesome, but it's better than it's almost unknown status would suggest.

First 4K screenshot of next week's review

Also PoE

Also, LoL, because reasons

What is it? The scenery has the Octodad look.

Yeah. Armageddon is nowhere near as fun.

Only NFS: PU i enjoyed was way back the rest or just cheap nasty arcade bullshit, and thats some thing as i hate the cars but the game was aswsome with a wheel.

Always wanted to get into PoE. But didn't really like it, maybe i'm missing something ?
You start progressing into the game,make a few quests in a certain area kill all the mobs (witch takes a lot of time,but you feel a sense of completion) . If you go back 10 minutes after,you teleport again to previous checkpoint (town) whatever it is...the map is repopulated with the same mobs (they spawn back). So you have to go through them again in case you have a small secondary quest you didn't do or something like that.
Yeah sure,nobody should ever complain about this, in every single mmo the map respawns, but in PoE i felt like the mob packs are much more dense and hard to kill. You can't just take a stroll...you are constantly being overwhelmed by mobs in every part of the map.

Maps only repopulate after 10 minutes of being idle, and reset the randomly generated terrain. This is done so people can farm. My main issue with PoE is the passive talent tree, because for new players its utterly horrid. People don't realise how easy it is to set up a passive skill tree and royally screw up their character. Passive respec points are so expensive, the only real option is to start a new character.

Once you're past all that though, the game is actually pretty good, better than Diablo III I'd say, not quite as amazing as D2, but close. It just takes a very long time before you 100% understand the reasoning behind everything in the game. I pretty much hated it for the first few weeks, but stuck with it, as my friend was big on it. Eventually came to quite enjoy it.

A game I would like to play is Kingdom Come: Deliverance, still in alpha phase.
Someone has it? Is it to buggy to play?
May just get it next month, love how it looks.

I've been avoiding it for some time. In terms of Early Access Alpha, it's very Alpha. Not really worth playing right now unless you want to look at unfinished pretty things with less than average framerates.

Can you elaborate a little bit further ?
Give me one example ,how can i mess up my character by adding the wrong passives.
What is your character build ?
Did you pay any money,so far, in game ?

 

[RCoon]

Give me one example ,how can i mess up my character by adding the wrong passives.

For example, not picking up enough health nodes while building your character, and not hitting some of the keystone nodes for certain builds, like Resolute Technique for melee characters. Also not grabbing a few elemental resistances here and there can seriously screw you over late game. Also there are routes to keystone passive nodes that are shorter than others, so you don't waste passive skill points trying to get there.

What is your character build ?

I have quite a few rather different ones! All my characters are here: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/RCoon/characters

Did you pay any money,so far, in game ?

Probably about $10 for some item transmogrification (making an item look like another item), and a skin for Summon Skeletons so they look like statues. Never felt the need to pay for anything tbh.

 

[AsRock]

I thought spending money on that game just added effects to like weapons and nothing that would give another player advantage over another player, or did that change sadly ?.

Nope, still the same. You cannot buy things from the developers to make you any more powerful than anyone else. All you can buy are cosmetic items and additional Guild Stash tabs. Everything must be farmed.

 

[AsRock]

Sweet, as that's one thing they should never change.

you can buy tabs for your account stash too or at least you could last time i've played it (2 years ago)
