What are you playing?

How does that compare to Raiden 4 or the original as I was so into Raiden that i finished 2 on 2 quarters with a friend

It compares in name only. Older Raidens look like they were made and designed for arcade cabinets first and foremost. 5 looks like it was made specially for consoles. In terms of gameplay it doesn't differ that much. But in terms of visuals it's night and day. It could be that I'm too used to pixelated graphics of older arcade games, but to me it just looks meh. Btw I think I played R2 in the arcades the most... a looooong time ago.

I'm one month ahead. I think i kinda screwed a couple things up with social links that I could've started a little bit faster (got stats instead) but generally speaking I "think" I'm going ok as far as 100% goes. It should be possible.

I'm still not sure what the point of the batting cages is, I never used em in the original, yet to do them here as well (just make frigin lockpicks instead..). All I recall is trying and being unable to hit the target thing from 3 years ago The real dark souls is the batting cages

Same here, I only did it once, not going to bother with it anymore. Grinding lockpicks is the way to go. I like the changes to the boost mechanics, it's fun and twins battle mode is better than having to fuse specific personas (unless is it still there?).

 

[Calmmo]

nah, requests are still there, they might be level locked, i think i got the first one in a random visit during the 2nd dungeon.

My children and I finished Trine 4 yesterday. It's a fun game. Not as good as Trine 2 but way better than that disaster that was Trine 3.

Thanks for the feedback I totally get what you are saying. I have every other version, I think 3 might have been my favourite. It has been a long time since arcaders would gather around boxes like Raiden or Centipede damn even asteroids (especially Asteroids) but I do see then, that you too were well versed in the "art of skillful dodge" .

I really miss arcades. Good times.

Still clawing away at Pathfinder Kingmaker...

Stacking AC like a boss... Trying my hand at a combination of Sword Saint and Thug (Rogue). The result is that everything crits, I get sneak attack bonuses, and dodge pretty much anything

Stole the Bloody Mess perk from Fallout

 

[Keullo-e]

Still farming for items (one red, two pink tails) on FF IV, been doing this for about 10 hours and haven't got any. Feels that when I'm almost done getting all the items I need to get the gear for the superbosses, the last ones take forever to drop. This sucks.

Still exploring Egypt on AC Origins. Made it to Giza yesterday, had been waiting to climb those pyramids for a while. 41% game completion in 22h. Not as long as I thought it'd be.

I got another 4.5 hours of Sam’s Story completed yesterday in Metro Exodus. Playing as a speaking character, even if I don’t pick the dialogs is nice.

Several different creatures come back from different locations in Exodus, which is expected. There is some underground delving, because of course the important things we need to find are going to be hidden deep, lol. Much of Vladivostok is above ground in old ruined and flooded buildings.

Well I have been exploring my Steam library a little bit and started X morph Defense with my new Xbox 1 controller. I am on the 3rd stage and is the game a nice combo of tower defense and 3d shump.

Why dafuq am I being drawn to playing games that feature situations similar to the current crisis. Playing Mad Max for a few days now. Reading the history relics haven't been kind to me. See for yourselves:

Sounds like Angie tasted pretty good.

She was a very good wife/partner.

This is the perfect time for open ended Games. I am determined to finish Kingdoms of Amular before I have to go back to work at work.

Tried Code Vein demo today after all them character creator screens... "Hold Shift and press F5 to activate skill" "K, thx bye!".

Kudos to them for making a demo, money saved.

Hold shift. And...... F5?! Dafuq kind of keybind is that. What's next, a Tekken 10-hit directional combo using random letters?

Rocking single player like a Korean MMO grinder. Yeah baby

I started that game like 3 times since its relase but I'm still yet to finish it once,always stop playing it for whatever reason and then manage to lose my savegames too.

Correction, hold RIGHT shift. Left won't work.

Sure, this clearly was designed around controller but at least try to create a reasonable keybind layout for m+k users.

Anyway, it's Soul's like, so it's clearly not for me.

Progress... Varnhold is safe again... Act IV or something now, I don't really care a lot, I just clear the map really and there is some dialogue that keeps me up from time to time. (No, this isn't Baldur's Gate quality writing, at all... but that's okay) About 50% done... This game is massive and from what I did gather from the story here and there, some cool and surprising events do happen. I just got betrayed by one of my council members, for example. That is the same council you build up during the entire game, so quite a setback depending on how you managed things. Luckily the guy wasn't in office for too long.

Right shift?! How? Do you play this game with the keyboard in portrait mode?! I can't even reach that on my miniature apple magic clone.

just use a gamepad with a Xbox one pad it's perfect. (and i am a M/K player ... but sometime pad are the best way for a game, hilariously enough, for example, i prefer M/K in Monster Hunter World since pad controls are awful and i wonder how console players can play it if the controls are the same on consoles)

What's next, a Tekken 10-hit directional combo using random letters?

oh ... there is a shooter for professional typewriter

the Typing of the Dead

Naomi/Dreamcast title but there is a PC version on STEAM xD

The Typing of The Dead: Overkill on Steam

Typing of the dead: Overkill fuses the horror and comedy of the legendary House of the Dead series with unique typing mechanics in order to deliver a truly original gaming experience! This gruesome shooter puts you in the middle of a mutant outbreak in Bayou county.

I've been playing a couple days now of Sam's Story in Metro Exodus, so I figured I would leave a few screenshots. The first one here is Sam leaving the group at Lake Baikal. One of the others could be a little bit spoilery, so the other 4 are in a spoiler.

Spoiler: Sam's Story (Metro Exodus)

i think i need a quick break from Code Vein ...



i said quick break ... soooo probably not the RTS nor Final Fantasy XV ... but SoulCalibur VI will do fine and yes i am angry at the devs/publisher who put canon character as DLC "new character" i mean c'mon ... Cassandra is canon character since SC II, Tira and Amy since SC III, Hildegard Von Krone since SC IV (which was the one i played on X360 and i did own the original SC on Dreamcast, actually i should still have it ), i understand for extra character like Haomaru from Samurai Showdown or 2B from Nier Automata but for canon characters? at 5chf a piece? naaaahhhh i pass (no, not season pass ... ) well, luckily i didn't pay 69.90chf for the game

what decided me to get it? (since the game date a bit ... i am sure quite some would know why )

the next best thing in the world after KOS-MOS in SC III Darth Vader, Starkiller or Yoda in SC V

"raahhh... crap like this, exactly why i hate portals!"

Spoiler: and who hate portals?
