Vandal Hearts 2 + Take Turns Hack



One of the best japtacticals, now enhanced with the regular "consecutive turns" system, which replaces the original super-weird "simultaneous turns" system.

What's to like?

• Good old violence:

Fantastic verticality in hugeass maps (OFC player has height disadvantage almost all the time):

• Plenty of equipment, which is visible on characters:

• No FFT-like jobs, only 4 basic and switchable ones, depending on armor. Simple yet fun "skill" system, tied to the equipment. Also magic:

• No Kaga-like bullshit (reinforcements, useless characters)
  
  
• Hyper-ultra-secret "true" ending, impossible to get without being 110% autist (or using a FAQ):

• Four different COYA endings.

Verdict:

*Edit: sorry about the enlarged raw screenshots, game looks like this in Retroarch with /scanlines/scanline shader:

Started the game in December 2022, finished chapter 2 in October, made no more progress until today, because of how tedious it tries to be and how it fails as a western because of all the talking.

Most of these modern games are washed out. Like they're all trying to imitate Roger Deakins and that whole wave of cinematographers. Elden Ring too (which I'm also trying to get back into after making almost no progress, but which is crashing for me now as soon as I load the character).

Playing Tamriel Rebuilt. It's such a gorgeous game!

Some pubs have a pub quiz and if you get enough correct answers you win some booze. Very cute.

I've heard good things about Resident Evil Remake. Time to play this shit!

















I hope this isn't Chris's blood...



Time to check out the door to the right...



Technical info:

• Retroarch + Beetle PSX HW core
• 4x Internal GPU Res (better models)
• Adaptive Smoothing (de-pixalated 2D on non-standard internal res)
• Crop Overscan = Static (proper AR)
• PGXP Enabled (de-wobbling of 3D elements)
• /scanlines/oscc shader (2D backgrounds look better):

The increased resolution of 3d models looks jarring against those static backgrounds. Great game otherwise.

Portal: Revolution

Great looking Portal 2 mod with simple puzzles.

Nice
Will try this one someday

There's still Portal: Reloaded on my list. Maybe next time when I'm in Portal mood. I've heard the timeline gimmick is too convoluted for its own good.

Short and sweet, 25 chambers (can be done in 1 hour if you know what your doing)
I didn't find it particurlarly complicated
For most chambers the challenge is simply keeping in mind not to fall on your Portal auto-pilot and remember that you now have a 2nd timeline which you'll have to make use of
There are some chambers that got my noggin joggin, but those could be counted in 1 hand - the last one is definitely the hardest and the only one I got stuck
Overall, it's pretty fun and the idea is novel

What mod are you running?

 

[ferratilis]

What mod are you running?

Memories of the Zone, it's a vanilla+ modpack with AMK ballistics and OWR3 and some other tweaks. It's great other than the fact it's running on OGSR, which I don't like that much, but as a result it runs really well, has very fast loading times and is stable.

Some words of wisdom

I must say he has a good understanding of the slippery slope

 

[Modron]

You trying to get every single injury possible there? No limb armor and a leather gorget?

 

[PsihoKekec]

High agility got me through, all the injuries I got were narrative related. I usually wear limb armor, as for neck barbute helmet with aventail and leather gorget are a sufficient protection, unless you are fighting Scotts in York. Also, maces are not good for late game (tried to finish with every type of weapon).

 

[Modron]

Hammers/maces have the ability to crack open weak spots in heavily armored enemies (usually the head and torso, since neck and limbs have a lot of overlap), knock that 40 armor can into a single digit defense and hit them with an overhead strike.

Sure a shamshir/scimitar/cleaver low stamina special attack that adds half your agility to damage right to an underarmored enemy's neck is the more efficient way to handle soft targets but I've got a hammer in the sheath for your Goliaths and Green Knights.

Yes but it's pretty dense with content so far.
