New thread!
This week I am hopelessly addicted to starfield. I have not been this into a game for a long time…
Trackmania. It’s always what I go to when I run out of things to play
Woah, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. Are they still developing new games, or are you just playing the classics?
A new one was released in 2020 on epic games and I think it’s on steam now. It’s a remake / remaster the TMNF/TMUF games. It’s just called Trackmania but most people call it TM2020. It’s a subscription based game with tiers, which sounds shitty but the prices are pretty normal. Like the best tier is $60 for 3 years and that’s how long most people play $60 games anyway…
anyway I’m currently mostly playing TMUF.
Is there enough people to play against to make it worthwhile? Over just playing one of the older games I still own on Steam…
Mostly waiting for Lies Of P to land in a day or two. I have spent more time with Starfield, but as I mentioned in a previous comment, I think I’m reaching the end of my time with that one.
I don’t think it’s ‘bad’, but I do think it’s a severely compromised game that underwhelms more than it should for a game of it’s budget and the team behind it. There’s moments where you can see so much potential but it is always somewhat hidden by this mid 2000s design that I thought we’d moved past.
Final Fantasy IX Remaster
- I’ve never finished FF9 on PS1 (my optical drive died), then I got distracted playing FF9 remaster a few years earlier. Finally decided to stream the game with a guide
- The battle is slow, even with fast forward, the animation seems to be slower than FF8 or FF7
- The fast forward in this remaster is not implemented as good as FF8 remaster’s.
- It’s only either 1x or 4x speed
- If you started the fast forward and forgot to turn it off before a cutscene, then the cutscene will play at 4x without any way to reset the speed.
- Despite all that, I am enjoying the game, characters are likable. I’m currently at Disc 2, after the Clerya section
Resident Evil Remake
- Again, I’m following a guide to get unlimited rocket launcher. I really dislike that 3 hour time limit. Or maybe I just really dislike time limit in games.
- I’m not into survival horror, but I enjoy the shooting / action part of Resident Evil
- So far, not enjoying it, since I’m just kiting zombies, skipping cutscenes, etc. My aim is to get unlimited ammo, then finally play both Chris and Jill sections without the ammo, and in some ways, inventory constraints.
After more than thirty hours and hours of discussions with a friend who knows Pathfinder and stuff, I’ve finally beaten the first boss of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous!
My character finally created, I got through the intro cutscene thingle, threw a dart, saved, and am in bed waiting to become asleep 🤣
(The joke is that the character creation is so interesting, involved, and/or difficult that it counts as a boss fight just choosing a character class to start with 😅 Also yes it did actually according to Steam take me nearly forty hours to defeat said boss 😅)
My main game continues to be Overwatch.
I’ve also been playing some Diablo IV. I’ve been taking my time - there is a lot to enjoy in that game. I just teamed up with my brother to finish the last act of the main story.
