About 2/3 through Risen 2 now. The joy of exploration is so great in these games.

Just beat Hugo's scenario in Origin... gonna "play" Dear Esther tonite and then take a small breather from games for a few days. Then it's on to Toal's scenario.

Thought Yunica was a bit more fun to play as than Hugo, but Hugo's story was a bit more interesting.

Been playing Risen, what I like about this game is that the island is hostile and if you go to the wrong place you are fucked and the fact that you have to use skill points/money to buff your stats in a meaningful way and extort people Eurojank

But OMG the human models are ever so terrifying!

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Bought this game for about five bucks like two weeks ago, it was supposed to be DRM free but it would bitch about keys and bring up tages, it got fixed a few days ago lol gamersgate.

No, but it has been streamlined. Also it's a pirate game so you have to expect some travelling and smaller islands. The Sword Coast section is a pretty decent size. Now that they've patched the combat and fixed some stuff I can't imagine anyone who liked Risen not liking it.

The only real streamlining is in the combat, by focusing on just one-handed swords and pistols instead of a wide variety of weapons. It works with the way the world is portrayed, though.

Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals - I don't know why I'm doing this to myself. Game is pretty bad, there's something that just doesn't feel right with the combat.

Anyways, they pretty much force me to go to the roguelike-ish Ancient Cave to progress the story. Now I've never been a fan of the whole roguelike genre, it's probably my least favorite of all RPG spinoffs (yes, even more than western RPGs). Always found that shit so frustrating and unfair. So yeah the game pretty much screwed me over by not giving me any antidotes and I got poisoned to death.

Yeah, even in the Depths (which occurs like 20% of the time now) I often mess up due to turrets. But in the Necropolis those turrets fire explosive shots. And everything else is explosive as well. And there are blue spikes everywhere. And THE BLOAT.

I bought both Dyad and Sound Shapes and put maybe 15 min into each...

Dyad seems a bit simple at first, hasn't grabbed me yet but then again I've only been playing for a little bit. Reminds me of Internal Section but not quite as fun.

Sound Shapes, I'm not used to the physics yet (reminds me of some weird hybrid of Super Meat Boy and LittleBigPlanet) but it seems fun. Don't even bother guessing what stages I tried out first

Spent 20 hours playing Dota 2 before deleting it. The game could be really cool if you have a team of people to play with all the time. But I don't so why bother. Wish there was some offline mode to get to know all the heroes, but there is only bot matches ONLINE (why?). Also don't like the fact a game takes like 40 min. Way too long.

Played an hour of Diablo 3 with with the new patch. Game is still the same but I'm not on inferno.

Donwloading CS:GO now. I hope Ill get my moneys worth, it's the 3rd CS game I have

I'm starting to play God Mode in Mushi Futari Black Label again. I almost forgot how much fun it is to make the HUD/player sprite flicker by turning 481048 bullets into scoring items. There's nothing more satisfying than bringing a game to its knees.

(You can also do that in Akai Katana Shin, but it's much harder to pull off)

Sleeping Dogs is okay too.

Airport Hero 3DS - honolulu - i skipped the first 3DS game because they pretty much announced that the second game was coming straight after. I doubt there's much difference - just whether you want to play Haneda or Honolulu.

It's pretty much the same game as previous - though i don't recall ever seeing airboats?

Pretty terrible graphics - (SONIC POWERED ... uh oh) but the game play is great (if you like air traffic control games, which i can't imagine too many people do)

MH3G - have to get back in on this. I couldn't stomach it after 3rdP as it's too much repeated stuff.

Taiko no Tatsujin or Taiko no Satsujin as my son calls it. He loves it so we've been playing it every few nights on the PS2.

DQX not much the last few days as work is a bit busy and i'm shattered by the end of the night. Fun stuff.

I played the new TF2 co-op mode. It's half-baked as hell. It takes minutes to get into a laggy 100+ ping server and there'll be like 3 or 4 dudes in there. The strength of AI waves does not scale with the number of players, rendering the map unwinnable with a small number of players, and everyone just up and leaves rather than wait for more dudes to connect. Maps are dull. This is sub-tower defense gaming.

To be straight with you, Positive, I doubt they did much playtesting on it 25 years ago when they were just throwing it out there to try and sell a thousand copies. That said, the bat is when Ys separates the men from the boys. He's completely beatable without being hit even at the highest difficulty. So, all I can say here is either man up or level up. Levels mean a lot in Ys 1. If you can't beat batty, you might as well give up on the game, cuz if you think he's bad, the last boss will make you break your PSP in half.

well yeah, no playtesting is what makes so many console games from the late 80's so damn frustrating. i'm at level 10, have all the silver gear (the best you can get at that point), and i'm playing on hard. the fucker still only takes tiny amounts of damage. if i destroy this psp, well, it's shaka's, so he'll just have to take the loss.
