Big Fresh Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Of course! I finished regular XCOM, just not Long War. Way too tough.
Cliff Hanger Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I have no idea whether Lemmings was never good and I had no taste in high school, or it was good in the early 90s but hasn't held up to advances in game design, or Lemmings Touch for PS Vita is just a shit update. But I downloaded it as a PS+ game and boy is it not fun.
SirFozzie Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 We are live.. hopefully the game will be unpacked shortly and you'll get to see the gameplay! http://twitch.tv/sirfozzie
SirFozzie Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 OMG. 5.5 hours later, and I don't want to go to bed. There's enough changed that it's very different and familiar all at the same time. Edit: First Impressions are up on the an8bitmind.com website.
Big Fresh Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I think I played for like 10 hours yesterday. And since I don't have to go back to work until Tuesday, there's no end in sight! I can't tell if I'm doing well though. The Avatar Project is almost halfway done. And I'm kinda stuck until I get some more Engineers!
Big Fresh Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 One disappointment though: the preorder "Warrior Resistance Pack". Every time you use the button to free up all armor on soldiers not currently being used, it resets guys appearance, if they have on stuff from the Warrior Resistance Pack. So I just don't use it anymore.
Shane Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Hand of Fate (one of the free XB1 games this month) is really good. Sort of a D&D-esque, choose your own adventure rogue like based around some basic deck building. With combat similar to the Arkham games. That description makes it sound way more complicated than it actually is. Give it a shot, though. You'll be able to tell within the first level if it'll be something you're into...
AxB Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Finally getting deep into Shadow of the Colossus. Keep forgetting that when you get to the critical point, you raise your sword for the critical hit, and the longer you wait before striking the more damage you do. But because you have to spend so much time finding the weak spot, and the game often screw you over on the approach to the weak spot so you fall off a few times, whenever I get close I just go for the quick jab and do almost no damage. And then fall off. It's a little bit very frustrating.
Big Fresh Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Why PC Gaming sucks: after playing XCOM 2 last night, now my PC no longer awake from sleep mode, no matter what I do with the mouse or keyboard. I have to manually restart it every time I want to use it. And the whole thing boots up much slower than it did yesterday too. Joy.
Adam Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Afternoon folks. I've started enough annoying threads lately so I'll just ask it in here. I've never been a PC gamer in my life, always bought a system at a reasonable price that was a few years old, but today I have gone out and bought a fairly decent setup, so i'm interested in playing decent games on PC. It come with Windows 10, whats the best controller to use? A friend has told me that you can just plug an XBONE controller in and it should work with no 3rd party software needed. If that's the case would (A much cheaper) 360 controller work just as well? Hope someone can help (save me money) thanks -Adam
Jiji Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I use wireless 360 controllers and needed an inexpensive dongle. Microsoft has a page saying it'll automatically install a driver for a wired controller and you'll be good to go.
Adam Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Is that on Windows 10? (Does it make a difference) And do you need the dongle or can you play wired instead? As my TV is literally right next to my bed anyway.
Jiji Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Yeah, Windows 10. Don't need the dongle if it's wired, that's all the dongle is there for - to pick up the wireless signal from the controllers. 1
Big Fresh Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I also use that dongle, but I just got it last week, so I got the one for XBox One controllers, not 360.
Cliff Hanger Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Bit on Lego Avengers, even though it has the wrong Academy kids, because any thing with the Thunderbolts, Quasar and Butterball appeals to me and I generally like the Lego games. Also Gravity Rush, because fuck the Vita version was glorious.
SirSmUgly Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I'm still trying to finish Gravity Rush. I like the idea, but every time I get started, I get bored with it. I wish the combat were more engaging somehow. I even hacked my PSTV to play GR on the big screen, but I didn't get too far. Sometimes, I need to play a good game a couple times to get it, so I'll try again when I have a lull in the backlog. It took me a couple times for RDR to capture my attention, for example, and now I think there is a fair argument that it's the best game ever made. Right now, I'm pretty obsessed with Downwell and X-COM: Enemy Within, and I've started finding and using mods for the first time in my life on Tropico and Civ V. This is probably the first time ever that my PC is getting more attention than any of the consoles in my house.
Raziel Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Fresh, is XCom2's RNG better than 1's, and does it still roll before you even do an action? That was probably 1's most glaring problem.
The Man Known as Dan Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I'm playing a RNG based extremely difficult game of my own in Darkest Dungeon and it's awesome. 2
Big Fresh Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Fresh, is XCom2's RNG better than 1's, and does it still roll before you even do an action? That was probably 1's most glaring problem. I don't know what these words mean. But I made a chick in a skull facepaint like Vampiro who stabs aliens with a goddamn sword. Game of the Decade. 1
SirFozzie Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 So, I've played XCom 2 for 20 hours. Not bad. Wait, what do you mean the game's only been available for 46 or so hours at the time I wrote this? But yeah, game of the year candidate. And strategy game of the year winner. Calling it now.
The Man Known as Dan Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 And I have a laptop that can't play it. Fucking Fuck.
Jiji Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 UPGRADE! I suppose I should get around to playing the last set of X-Com games. One day.
Raziel Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Fresh, is XCom2's RNG better than 1's, and does it still roll before you even do an action? That was probably 1's most glaring problem. I don't know what these words mean.But I made a chick in a skull facepaint like Vampiro who stabs aliens with a goddamn sword. Game of the Decade. See, that you don't know what a RNG is yet run a gaming channel keeps me from taking you seriously.
