Ahh, thanks Byron. I'm vaguely aware of what that game is, but it's not one of my usual stomping ground genres, so I've not played it. And am probably very unlikely to!
There's about a gazillion endings, three pretty different life paths and numerous ways to run a build - definitely worth replaying. Pew pew, netrunner, combos and I did become a fan of sandevistan/katana/knife/shotgun build. Plus then there's mods.
I played a netrunner / pew pew for when I got caught build. After doing an ending, I reloaded back at Embers and did the remaining endings. I only didn't do the Phantom Liberty ending because I Spoiler let songbird escape to the moon. I also Spoiler did the secret ending by unlocking it with the tweak tool.
Yeah all but once I helped Spoiler Songbird get to the moon The only time I didn't it was quite a ride (spoiler if you've not done this yet) Spoiler Getting her gift and having netwatch turn up if you use it too much, definitely feels like being a cyberpsycho
Without wanting to give too much away… You really really should try all the Phantom Liberty endings. If you’ve got a save relatively early in the mission Firestarter - before that bit - I highly encourage you to try it the other way and play the expansion through to completion on that path . Spoiler My “canonical” ending is that So Mi gets to the moon, and V rides off into the dusty sunset with the Aldecaldos. With female V because I much prefer the voice acting, and Judy as the love interest, because she tries to act cool and tough but in reality she is just the sweetest and most adorable. There’s still only one “main game” ending path I haven’t done yet, despite well over 400hrs in this game. I just can’t bring myself to do it…
Well im done with cyberpunk. I am not a fan of horror games and even more so when in 1st person. I hit that mission where your hunted by something unkillable and it just triggers my anxitiy to a point i closed the game
This is something they implemented in the 2.1 update: gang chases. If you leave their territory and level up elsewhere you'll be able to deal with them easily.
No its the Somewhat Damaged quest that did me over. Just nope from me. Dont care what ppl think i didnt sign up for alien isolation type game play
Certain games aren't for everyone That particular Somewhat Damaged mission I only did once just to see what it was about. That was probably the one mission that I didn't really like and left me unsatisfied. Every other play through I've made different choices so I've never had to play it again. There are no other missions like that, thankfully. But yeah, I only chose that path once, don't care to do it again.
Oh no, no no no, this is not that… It’s “that quest” in Phantom Liberty. Not my “head canon” ending, but definitely worth playing through at least once.
I think it's a testament to the rest of the game that I was willing to have the bejesus scared out of me for that mission to see things through. I only got through Alien Isolation because I wimped out and played it on easy. You could basically run right in front of the Alien and it wouldn't notice you. No regrets as I originally tried playing it on Nightmare and almost sh@t myself a few times before giving up.
Somone advised i download a mod that makes the camo last 5 times as long and another mod that makes the robot 80% less effective but then it was disclaimers about parts of the mission you still need to be aware off. Where is ye old No Clip when you want it !! I managed to complete the DOW remaster over the last few nights took me back to my younger self i spent so many hours on that game. I miss a good RTS game.
Does it count as “completing” if I’ve got all the achievements but not “done everything”? ‘Cos I’ve done that with Vampire Survivors Not really a game you “complete” though, tbh. I need to finish the most recent DLC, but that one doesn’t have an “Adventure” mode like some of the others. And, as much as I’ve already done, there’s still a ton of stuff to unlock. Ridiculous amount of enjoyment and play time from such a cheap game.
Doom The Dark Ages: 7.7/10 Finally got around to playing this after getting it free with my GPU. It's an interesting addition to the new reboot series, with the Slayer now carrying a shield that is used to deflect attacks, as well as having some other situational uses. You also get to pilot the big Titan mechs first seen in Eternal, which is a nice distraction, and fly on your pet dragon, whom I nicknamed "Fluffy": I preferred this game to Doom Eternal, mainly because they did away with the need to swap weapons every nanosecond to maximise damage whilst trying to figure out which of the umpteen billion different abilities you have are needed . You like a gun in this game? Good - you can happily use it most of the time, only having to go to a backup weapon when you start running out of ammo towards the end of a large battle. Some weapons are a bit more effective against some enemies, but you can just spend a bit more time shooting them instead if you can't be bothered to switch. All guns are functional enough, with the Double Barrel Shotgun being absolutely devasting at close range. The star of the show for creativity is the Pulveriser: Whilst not my most used gun, it was a good fallback option and if a gun that grinds up skulls to fire the shards doesn't make you grin, you may want to reevaluate what you think fun is. A nice upgrade sets the skulls on fire when causing enough damage to trigger it, which may make it the most METAL AS FECK thing I've ever seen. Speaking of METAL AS FECK, this game is relentless in that aspect, like a non-stop Manowar album cover. Personally, I love it to bits and it feels very 40Kish, what with skulls being all over the place. Unfortunately the patron saint of heavy metal music, Mick Gordon, is not involved this time, so while the music is passable, it doesn't quite hit the high standard set by the previous games. So what of the bad? The gameplay, whilst a good balance of fast but not too fast, does start to get a bit repetitive. The major boss battles are suddenly all clumped up in the last three levels (there are 22), with the penultimate boss fight being FAR harder than the final one. Come to think of it, Eternal also had that problem in the DLC. While the graphics look lovely enough (I even turned on path based raytracing, because 5090), I think this is a game that shows developers are starting to get lazy with game optimisation. It doesn't look significantly different from Eternal, yet Eternal runs like a dream. So, all in all, a fun enough game with some cool visuals that is worth a play. If there is any DLC, I'll look forward to seeing it through.
@Pete J - nice review. I'll have a look at this after I've done the task of going back to the previous one and trying to remember what I was actually doing in it. I tried the other night but it looked like I'd forgotten how complicated it was and didn't get past the screen with my guns on waiting to be upgraded. You're getting through some games lately, bud. I need to make the time. Going to try and forge some for Space Marine II first, I reckon.
Just finished Star Wars Outlaws on PS5. Have to say, overall I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hardly any bugs (probably as I left it so long before playing) and it was just fun hopping around in the SW universe without light sabres and the force. Probably give it another run through just to amble about for a bit.
Space Marine 2, For the glory of the Emperor! Was good enough for a game pass single player game, I'm not into FPS multiplayer games so glad I didn't pay full price for it
Just started playing this. Not quite sure what to make of it yet, but it's certainly not a bad game and feels quite wholesome. I'm not really into multiplayer games, but unexpectedly got sucked into the PvE side - I think I have 300 hours in the game now . Got all the classes and weapons maxxed out, excepting the new Techmarine, as every man and his dog is using him at the moment. Going to wait a while for things to settle before trying to level him up. Funnily enough, I gave him a quick go and got kicked out of a game before it started as I assume the host (d!ckhead as he was) was annoyed a lvl 1 character was trying to play on a more difficult setting. Fortunately, the next match up was better...where I proceeded to get most of the end of match awards for damage done etc. I think I've spent too much time playing this game...
