I finished Quake 2: The Reckoning, the first expansion pack for Quake 2, and started with the second one, Ground Zero. Just like the expansions for Quake 1, it’s pretty much just more Quake. A few new or changed enemies, some new weapons, and I was blasting my way through the Strogg. Just like the base game, I played on Hard, and it’s not really that difficult, much easier than Quake 1. The biggest difference is that you get tons of ammo in Quake 2, so you’re never completely running out.
In Pillars of Eternity, I’m almost done with the second Act, so hopefully I can finish the game in the next couple of days. I don’t think I’ll immediately go into the White March expansion. I got about 100h combined with this and Baldurs Gate 1, these last few weeks, so I want a break from RTwP games. Like I mentioned last week, everything feels much smoother here than Baldurs Gate was, so I’m enjoying it a lot more. The AI pathing is still complete trash though.
Was anything ever done to mod in controller support to Pillars of Eternity from the console versions? I'm building a list of RPGs I'd like to play after BG3. Also, I'm pretty sure the game uses its own roleplaying setting and rules, but is it as complicated as 2e from those old Infinity engine games?
I’m probably not the right person to ask these things.
The game doesn’t have official controller support, according to the Steam Store page, so you’d have to map controller buttons to KBM. There’s a guide on Steam, so I guess you can play it that way, but I don’t know how good it is.
As for the rules, I’ve only barely scratched the surface for anything D&D related, so I can’t really know or compare. To me, it’s complicated, but it offers more information about everything. Keywords in tooltips are highlighted, so you can either click or mouse over, for further explanation about something. There’s a log, that can show rolls, but I’ve barely used it. RTwP with often 10+ characters in a fight, there is just so much spam. The basics for 5e from BG3 felt extremely easy to understand, even for me. Just like BGEE, I’m going through PoE basically higher number better (ignoring that THAC0 stuff in BGEE), and it’s working, although with lots of save scumming.
Undead Nightmare on PC emulated with Xenia. Had just finished the original Red Dead Redemption using the same. Finally went for it when Rockstar made it obvious there wasn’t going to be a PC remaster (and I upgraded my PC so I could play it at non potato fps since emulating is pretty intense). Had just started Cyberpunk 2077 but had stopped as I didn’t want to get too far along since the new expansion was going to add/change a lot.
Anyway it was awesome to finally play RDR. Always wanted to but never had a console (nor did I want one) to play it on. Undead Nightmare looks to be good fun too though I’m maybe just an hour into it. Just killing time til Cyberpunk expansion drops.
Palia. I saw a reference to this multiplayer online game on a news site. I’m an older player and enjoy the calm, combat-free experience. There’s a lot of grinding, though. On a different note, has anyone who is playing Starfield also played Space Engineers or Empyrion Galactic Survival? I’ve played both and wonder how it compares to them.
I’m deep in Earth Defense Force 5. It’s way more fun than it has any right to be. There’s no way I’m going to finish all the content. There is a ludicrous amount, over a hundred stages in a minimum of three difficulties with four characters who all have health and equipment that can be gathered and upgraded. It’s hard to make it sound fun, because it’s really just using crazy guns to shoot giant bugs and aliens and shit. It’s very simple, but the formula is so good. Flying around like a maniac as a Wing Glider feels so bad ass. I gotta figure out how to talk someone into playing it with me >_>
Earth Defense Force is the shit. It's not way more fun than it has any right to be, it's exactly as fun as shooting giant alien insects as an overly patriotic earth sci Fi military SHOULD be.
I think if you show the gameplay to somebody and then the addicting loot system that they'd be down, unless they just don't like the chaotic shooter-ness. But yeah, those games are fucking great
Currently nothing. Finished Metro 2033 Redux yesterday. Most likely will read witcher the last wish some more today and maybe this week will start with metro last light or stalker 1
Just beat the campaign for 2077 for the first time on Thursday. Been playing starfield for 2-3 min at a time hoping it won’t keep stuttering to a complete halt, but it does every time. But no matter my buddy sold me his old components after his most recent upgrade. So while it won’t hit the recommended specs it should cross the minimum and hopefully no more freezing! In the meantime bdl3, 2point hospital, battletech.
I’m on my second playthrough of Baldurs Gate 3, this time with a Dragonborn Fighter ( Half Elf Gloomstalker was my first ). I’m still not sick of the game even if I already have 100 hours in it.
Also picked up Remnant From the Ashes to play together with my SO. So far it’s a fun game even if the story is still very confusing and we had trouble joining each others session. Had to set the session to public, Friends Only didn’t work. Thankfully it is possible to change it back to Friends Only afterwards.
Got in late in last week’s thread so reposting. Got Gotham Knights on sale this week. It’s fine. All the technical issues seem to be gone. Enjoyable enough for $15aud. Also having a go at SYNCED, I like the aesthetic and could be a fun one for quick sessions. Doesn’t run very well though, getting pretty frequent frame rate dips even on low and on low it looks pretty rough.
