Got into Old World. I have zero planning and just roll with it, which led me to start a war against Egypt with my 4 elephants and several axemen thinking i was hot stuff. Egypt had 3 onangers nested on hills, a dozen pikemen and a random ballista.
I was annihilated from the militaristic point of view.
Still won the match through ambitions though since they happened to be a match with what I still had going for me.
I was annoyed though. They were doing 8-10hp damage per hit at times and i was only doing 3. My small army went from hot to not in only a few turns and i couldn’t figure out why. Turns out i just suck at it.
Anyway, if you’ve played Civilization, you’ll easily see the influence. The card and character randomness can be fun or frustrating and you might find yourself wondering at times why your resources aren’t growing as high as you were expecting them to. Better watch for that discontent!
I only have the base game so no comment on the DLCs.
I’m playing a fork of Cataclysm DDA called Cataclysm TLG.
it’s like the main project, but cooler and you are hungry. One of the coolest highlights include grabbing and throwing monsters around for a change. Usually it’s the other way around.
anyway here’s the trailer, take a peek.
I tried but just could not figure out how to start CCDA and ended up deleting the game. Disappointing. Its tutorial/guidance is just so severely lacking.
Not a lot, been sick off and on all week, but got in a little try of the Aviassembly demo, that was fun. Also some BG3 and Factorio with friends, and I’ve been loving the Icaria demo.
L.A. Noire and Persona 5! Both games I started over a year ago, then stopped playing and finally finishing them now haha
Among games with a fixed narrative, Persona 5 Royal is still the longest game I’ve ever played.
Very likely for me too. My save file is at just over 100 hours right now.
How’s LA noire gameplay holding up?
Most of it is fine. It has the typical console port molasses controls (especially when looking at objects).
The big thing that bothered me is the pretty obtuse interrogation system where I’ve resorted to looking at a guide towards the end (you always get the same three choices to respond with, “Truth”, “Doubt”, and “Lie”, with no indication of what your character will exactly say). This seems to be a common complaint, and apparently it got a bit improved in the remastered version which I don’t have.
Still very enjoyable despite this, imo.
Thanks for sharing!
Gonna be starting Metro soon! It was reccomended to me by another fedi user.
You’re in for a ride! Make sure you wait for dialogues of NPCs to fully end when passing by.
will do, lusty argonian :)
Path of Achra. Please send help
- Castlevania: SOTN
- 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
I didn’t think I’d enjoy SOTN so much, as I tend to have mixed feelings towards metroidvanias, but it delivers in many areas - I’d say it’s too easy, but then again it’s a matter of adjusting your equipment to make it more difficult.
I’m attempting another playthrough of 13 Sentinels, I’m not sure why I bounced off of it a couple years ago but I’ve been getting into “gameplay-lite” games lately with great results.
It took a good chunk of time for 13 Sentinels to hook me, but it eventually did and it’s continued to grow on me after finishing it. Delightful soundtrack, too.
SotN is one of my top five games but yeah, it is too easy. Don’t forget that when you finish it you’re only half way through.
I recently picked up “Styx: Master of Darkness” in a Steam sale. It’s really good! It’s a stealth game where you can’t fight your way out if you screw up. If you like the sneaking parts of Assassin’s Creed, Thief or Dishonored then you’ll love Styx.
I played a little bit of that a few years back and thought it was awesome. Unfortunately shortly after I started playing it (on my Xbox One) my console died. I should get it on pc
I’m trying to platinum Snowrunner. I’m currently in Amur, which is one of the hardest maps and it’s the last map in the Y1 DLC pack
Going super old school - Chrono Trigger. Finally picked it up on Steam since $3.75 is cheap enough I’d pay for the convenience to not use an emulator. I figure buying it 3 times is enough for one life.
Monster Hunter Rise, I have yet to see someone respond to my SOS signals lol
Factorio. I can’t recommend it enough. The space age expansion reinvigorated my
addictionenjoyment in the game. You can never have enough green circuitsI’ve seen that game mentioned many times. I’d love to try it but I’m worried I’d get addicted like crazy to it
100percenting snowrunner
lies of p and openttd
I picked up Cyberpunk on the Steam sale so I’m just starting that. Aside from that, I’m kind of casually working my way through Coromon, which so far isn’t great but it scratching the Pokemon-like itch well enough. That said, if other folks were looking for a Pokemon-like to try, I’d recommend Cassette Beast a hundred times over before recommending Coromon.
Oalworld just had an update
