That Divinity game looks sick!
That Divinity game looks sick!
I put a few hours into it right now and man is it impressive. The game is huge and the interaction with spells and the environment is impressive as heck. It feels like I'm playing an updated version of Balder's Gate but with Magika style turn based battle system. Its so interactive and pretty difficult at times.Quote:

I finished the game with a 96% finished rating, which could have easily been 100% if I had of felt like wandering around in the first two areas looking for little dream-catchers to shoot or picking mushrooms for no reason in the 7th area but I didn't. I finished that up afterwards.
The QTE events are thankfully mostly in the beginning of the game, and other than 2 boss fights nowhere to be found in the later game. The puzzles are neat, nothing too frustrating, but they will require you to think.
It is not a game for the weak of heart though, its one of the most brutal games I've ever played, and not because of the combat. Lara has more gruesome death animations than Dead Space's Issac Clarke and thats saying a lot.
I'm going to give this one a solid 8.5 out of 10, and I do foresee playing it again.
The only game that made me want to avoid death purely based on how cringey the death animations were.Quote:

Also playing the original Suikoden for PS1, about 3 hours in or so, and also liking it a lot so far.
Finished Spec Ops: The Line this weekend.
Really enjoyed the story, the combat was fun (and at times overwhelming) but the story definitely made the game.
The story in Spec Ops is the best I've ever played in a FPS by a mile.
Enjoying what I've played of Abyss Odyssey, but I'm only about two hours in according to Steam and I already feel like I'm running out of content. Only had three runs into the dungeon and on my third one I'm pretty sure I made it to the final boss (unless there is some kind of "true form" after I beat the one I died against). Did unlock the second character on that run so I guess I have that to switch it up but I can definitely confirm that the complaints about the game having a lack of content ring true.
::edit::
Played some more yesterday, and beat the game on my fourth overall try (first run of yesterday). After that I tried out the new character I had unlocked, thinking it would be fun to start over at level 1 with only a few skills, but I beat the game on my first try with him.
I'll probably put in whatever time it takes to get the third character but after that I'll be moving on pretty quickly I think.
Just finished Shovel Knight. An enjoyable little game.
FYI...I hear that the devs will alter the enemies and bosses after the final boss is defeated a certain number of times "globally". I think th epoint is to continually refresh the game.Quote:

I've never lost to the violinist; even though he's portrayed as being a tough challenge (if you accept the item he offers the downside is he'll hunt you down) I've found him easier than normal enemies. Enemy levels don't scale at all, so things will only get easier. The black walls that show up when the game wants you to beat X number of enemies before progressing are glitchy; enemies get trapped behind them sometimes, they can't hurt you while behind them but you can hurt them, etc. Loot is completely uninteresting after only about 30 or 40 minutes.
It feels to me right now like the first stage of an early release game. The community progression system just doesn't seem to be implemented all that well IMO; the content is extremely lacking right now, but the only way to get new content is to put a ton of hours into this boring version before getting the more interesting version. The gates for adding new content just take too much work.
Now playing: FarCry 3. Enjoying it immensely.
This weekend I finished The Wolf Among Us. I loved it!
Finished the new Wolfenstein, plus did most of the achievements. Loved the nightmare where he goes back to old school. Good graphics, good story, wished content was longer.
