Dicking around in Monster Hunter World and replaying Hollow Knight for the updated material.


-MHW is hysterical when your Hunter is elderly and looks confused or disappointed in 90% of the cutscenes with the Handler addressing them.
The lack of beast wyverns tho.*sigh*
 
Well, fuck. I was playing through Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 (confusing way to name a game huh) where I was blasting my way through the level finding secrets, and jumping through environmental obstacles when the game freezes for like half a second and I accidentally fall to my death, I forgot to save the game and now I have to redo the whole level again, and I was close to finishing the level too! Shit!

One thing I like about Dark Forces 2 is the way the levels are designed where you have to be extremely wary of environmental obstacles such as falling down to your death or hazardous machinery like crushing pillars, the levels are extremely long too so the game blends in a lot of shooting along with platforming and exploration.

Currently trying to get all the weapons in the original Drakengard.

Honestly? I don't really think the gameplay is as bad as a lot of people say it is. It's certainly no Devil May Cry 3 or Bayonetta, and I can see why most people aren't into it, but I'm finding some enjoyment out of it.

Also holy shit the game goes down to some weird places.

I played that game along time ago, it's amazing to think that this game would somehow have to do with Nier and 2B's magnificent robot ass.
 
I'm 100+ hours into Pathfinder: Kingmaker.
It's quite compelling. I'm playing two games at the same time. a 6 character party led by a Lawful Good Divine Hunter, and a 4 character party led by a Chaotic Evil Rogue.

I tell ya, sometime being LG feels more evil than playing CE:
Like telling a peaceful village of Goblins "I do not believe you are capable of being civilized and there is no place for you in my barony, Abadar won't cry for you and neither will I."
It's not bad enough I slaughtered the whole village, I sermoned them.
 
I played through Shantae: Half Genie Hero for the first time. I liked it a lot but was left wanting more. What do you know, Monster Boy came out the other day and it's really good. I'm at least half way through and I've got that melancholy, almost over feeling.
 
Finished The Council. Strangely made game.

I have to retract what I said earlier, because ultimately (regardless of choice), the final showdown of the game turns out to be literally nothing. It ALMOST sets it up like a cliffhanger, but doesn’t even really give you much of a cliff to hang on to.
 
I managed to beat the Link Between Worlds on Master..which is basically you get double damage and half the drops.
I dug out copy of Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. I always liked this one more than Seasons but I'm not sure why..Seasons I think had the sweet Roc's Cape that let you fly like three spaces.
I really hate the Second Dungeon boss because it requires you to make very apt bomb drops or throws.

EDIT: Still on portable carts.
 
RDR2. It's not perfect but it's a solid game. Rockstar needs to release a patch so you can skip shit like skinning animals and dial back the micro-managing. Between you and your horse there's five 'cores' you need to maintain...that's not including needing to eat just so you aren't underweight and making sure you keep your horse clean and happy.
 
Beat Xenosaga Ep II and moved on to III. I'm only a few hours in and already this dominates the other two games. More traditional in it's systems than the others, but it just works so well. If they had tried this from the start instead of dreaming up bizarro stat and battle systems the series might have been successful enough for them to actually have finished it.

Same here. Great soundtrack though. I realized immediately it was the same guy who did Double Dragon Neon.

Drink some booze, eat some kidney beans, shove oatcakes in your buddy's mouth and done. Really isn't as much fuss as it appears though I will say having to brush the horse every 10 mins is dumb. Skinning was the same in the first too so I doubt they'll change it. Every interaction should be faster but.. REALISM.

I agree it should all be faster by holding a button to bypass it or something like that.
