Okay, so honestly, this annoys the crap out of me. EVERY. SINGLE. BANNER. I get promoting the game, okay sure, maybe here or there, but making every banner this same thing gets really old, really fast. Hell the developers for Project Cars 3 aren’t even the same ones that made Dirt Rally 2. It actually annoyed me enough that I put Project Cars 3 on my ignore list.
First. I’ve made my return to Final Fantasy XIV. So that’s been fun.
Also picked up a few things on sale a while back
If you like Final Fantasy Tactics, this might be worth a go. Some reviews have been mixed, I’m liking the game so far, and as long as I don’t run into some horrible mess This should be a good time.
It’s an interesting metroidvania style game. It’s a bit slow and akward. The artstyle is very 8-bit. Which appeals to me, but maybe not others. If I’ll need to spend more time with it, not bad so far.
Cool! XIV is so good, glad you’re having fun! Also, what do you think of Fae Tactics? I really, really, really love FFT and don’t know which game to get that claims to be “inspired” by it.
It’s why I got Fell Seal - reminded me very of Tactics, with all the job classes to unlock etc. I’d play Tactics again if I could, never did figure out how to unlock Mime.
Well, I’ve been interested in playing FPSes lately, and these are my recent games:
It’s a really crappy abandonware DOOM clone from 1994 created in 7 months by a handful of people. It’s as bad as it shows, however it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Thank goodness I’ve already beat it so I can move on to something else.
I’ve started playing it some years ago in Bluestacks, and now that I’ve finally got a decent phone (a Samsung A20s) I can finally go back to it. Yes, it’s a mobile game with some lootboxes; yes, it’s pay to win in some places; yes, it keeps shoving stuff on your face for you to buy them all but hey, at least it’s a good game to kill some time.
After Radiaki I’m looking forward to play another abandonware which’s also a FPS: “You Are Empty”.
It’s a psychological horror game from 2006 which looks very interesting, so I’ll give it a try. It reminds me a lot from “Dementium: The Ward”, a survival horror FPS game made exclusively for Nintendo DS released an year later after this game.
Oh, and a honorable mention to another game I’ll play:
This one was a pleasantly surprise!!
It’s an action-adventure, hack & slash game in the same vein of the old God of War, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Dante’s Inferno.
It feels like a summer blockbuster movie due to the set pieces and over-the-top action sequences. It also has a good dose of humour and doesn’t take itself too serious.
Of course, it’s not as refined as the previously mentioned games, since this one is more on the b-side of things.
If you’re looking for something simple and within this genre, I really recommend this one.
Fae Tactics is OK. I need to play more, currently I have no idea what’s going on in the sotry, and I’ve been using the same 3 characters this whole time.
It’s fun to play, but currently it’s missing some of the tactics, abilities, and variety that FFT had. I really need to just play more to see where it goes.
I also haven’t seen anything nearly as interesting as the FFT jobs systems.
To me, one of the best things M$ added was Shift + Win Key + S. Then grab any part of the screen you want and paste it direct (which I’ve done here). No messing
Not working for me under win 7. But I do have the “snipping tool” which lets you do that even if it isn’t maybe quite as quick. Firefox does have a similar feature too which allows for both capturing of specific elements and freeform selection.
I have finished Wolfenstein The New Order and well. Is it a really great FPS game. It is of right length, action packed and mostly really enjoyable. Some forced turret,under water sections can ruin the pace a bit, and final boss fight was a real miss for me but overally a very solid back to form game for the franchise.
That said devs couldnt have choosen worse engine . You like 60 fps engine lock ? Check . You like vomit inducing head bopping which you cannot disable ? Check . You like horrible bloom,motion blur,DOF,film grain effects you cannot disable ? Check . Finally you like how OpenGL just works like crap on AMD GPUs ? Check.
Only saving grace is that it has console and you can fix some of the stuff via console commands. That said i had to make a .txt file and store 5 lines of console commands and enter them by hand every time i’ve started a new session.
Started playing Party Hard 2 . I cant say too much about it , only spent an hour with it but it seems like toned down version of Hitman . You can kill people way more freely than in Hitman series but if you will start just stabbing everyone in middle of the street people will call police and they will get you. There’s obvious difference in art style ofc.
Finished the fifth mission of Alien: Isolation. Determined to get to the end, however terrifying that may be. It’s a bit out of my comfort zone, but not terribly so. Definite A+ for setting the creepy mood and adding just the right amount of terror. It can certainly be trying after a few hours.
A time travel themed fps where you have the power to stop, slow and rewind time in order to help you through the environments and the various gun fights along the way.
