some homm4, mostly scenarios
tried this weird game called judero, but couldnt force myself to finish it, as neither its weirdness nor gameplay capitivated me enough
a bit of tekken 8. i wanted to try another character after a significant break, but i am losing interest fast. the effort to be decent, just decent, at such popular fighting game is too big for me at the current stage of my life. i should have started with an earlier installment of the series ages ago...

I did replay Blood and its expansions.
Also started the Death Wish mod for Blood, but did not finish it.
Other than that, I haven't really played anything else unfortunately, though I do plan to when things are in order.

Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: Back to the Futton - finished the DLC, was definitely better than Ruins of Limis.

Warhammer 40k: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters - decided to go for it first rather Rogue Trader for my W40k fix/backlog emptying after I finished Naheulbeuk, started and finished, ok-ish nuxcom clone bogged down by some baffling UI design choices (why is melee/range attack a toggle rather than two seperate buttons like in nuxcom?) and rather repetitive maps/objectives.

Factorio: Space Age - the expansion pack conveniently came out a day after I finished Daemonhunters and I have been autistically engaged with it ever since.

Cool Boarders 2 (PS1) - janky as 3D games from that time usually are, but I enjoyed it (still need to beat mirror mode). Also one of my kids likes this (the same kid that asks when is winter coming all the time, already since August). Also curiously enough the PAL version has a completely different soundtrack than the american one, punk-ish (or just rock) in America and electonic in Europe, I guess either Sony Europe or Sony America thought the soundtrack didn't mesh well with their marketing. I like the PAL one.

Warhammer 40k: Squad Command (PSP) - I think I finished another mission in this. Still a few more.

Alone in the Dark (I had heard it was decent, but I found it badly paced having to listen to slow ass dialogue while in the inventory, and the lovecraftian theme really didn't hit the right notes for me. I liked the dude protagonist though)
Have you played the original from the 90s?

Project Firestart
The original survival horror game, with all that entails. Alien-inspired, but not a knock-off like so many other games. Very cinematic, sometimes to its detriment. It's more of an experience than a game you play because the gameplay is fun. There's a lot of combat and the combat is basically busywork. You mostly just explore and figure out the route you need to take to win with as little trouble as possible.
The Dark Half
An infamous adventure game based of the Romero film. To sum up the game's experience, to get past the first day, you need to remove evidence that links you to a murder, because it was your magical twin who did it. During this, you pick up a bloody whisky bottle, which causes your shirt to become bloody. Not visually depicted. When you go to sleep now, when the cops come to talk to you, they arrest you because you have blood on your shirt. In order to avoid this, rather than your character automatically changing shirts after changing into his bed clothes, you pick up a shirt and change manually. After this, the cops will still arrest you, because you have the whisky bottle. To avoid this, you hide the whisky bottle...in your closet. Which the cops on a later day somehow miss when they search your house.
Rejection
Obscure FM Towns FPS/RPG hybrid in which you play a cute anime girl in power armor taking out zombies, then the military. Kind of awkward to control, and requires you to map Dungeon Master-style, but really fun gunplay besides. Probably the first game to focus on giving you an arsenal of cool guns, and unlike a lot of games, it tries to make each weapon feel unique. Still on it, currently trying to build up my levels to beat a boss which currently takes a minute amount of damage, but at some point I should be able to deal decent damage to it. Yeah, one of those RPGs where fighting something too high a level is impossible to kill, but too low a level is effortless to kill.

BG1 ee co op with a friend, we finished it.

BG SOD co op with a friend, started it, friend isn't impressed so far.

Various pokemon games, I bought my daughters gameboys and nintendo ds a while ago, they've been on a pokemon kick again this month so I've been playing my own game alongside them.

And SEGA, with a few arcade + TG-16 games thrown into boot. Been doing it for years, but I'm now on my second run-through replaying them on harder settings.


Did you even have TG-16 in Europe/UK? I never saw one visiting my cousins in France.


I had a TG16 and I only had 4 games for it, and they all sucked.

Only on import. My mate Andy had one, but he was the only person we knew who did. It was quite celebrated in some of the magazines considering though, C&VG used to featured reviews on games for it semi-regularly, and the staff there really liked it, so that helped it gain some cred with it's readers.

Deus Ex 1 (w/ GMDX mod) - I was playing this but I had a problem with GMDX being a bit too hard and too few item pick ups and got tired of it near the end so I dropped it. If I was going to play it again I would probably drop the mod.
Prey (2017) - This one I've been having fun with and like. It's not too scary which is good because I hate scary games, it's just immersive sim like. I'm playing a character who throws a lot of shit at people if that is even a play style lol.

GMDX improves the enemy AI.
Also nerfs some of the augs, including the godly Regeneration aug.
Also adds some new small areas on maps, I think?
