my journey is complete

Centauri alliance

Spoiler

Very good game, good dungeons, good character system, good itemization, good combat.
I guess I'm close to the end but I have been unable to figure out how to progress further.

Still unsure on whether I like new Geralt or classic Geralt better.

Re: Trippy Games Thread

I recommended Killer7 and got curious how it would look in Dolphin + AA, and...

Too bad HUD and fonts don't scale. The blurry text stands out.

Check out this great cutscene!

Smile!

Is this worth playing? It looks great. Prince of Qin?

yes and yes.

How is Prince of Qin? I've never heard too much talk about it, so always assumed it was just a Diablo II clone with an eastern setting.

It feels like a mixture between diablo Divine Divinity and Baldur's gate, since you can have party members and you can pause the game to give commands. Even of it has some diablo likeness, this game is definitely a crpg. It takes place in an interesting Chinese historical-fantasy setting. If you can look past the dodgy translation and some hilarious voice acting, you'll find a pretty good game that has been criminally overlooked.

Sounds great! I don't mind dodgy translations or hilarious voice acting at all. I'll try to track this one down. Thanks!

Valkyria Chronicles 2

When it came to promoting somebody to sniper class, the choice was p. obvious:

OFC SIS Melissa will need a proper tool (new crafting system):

And voila:

There's also a new interesting class - fencer. These niggas are the best call when you have to kill more than one enemy without wasting APs:

Two other units are able to do the same: gunners (these aren't that great IMO due to high "dispersion" of their shots) and units armed with flamethrowers (esp. vehicles kick ass, due to high range of their flamers):

Plus, some types of vehicles (APCs) can traverse long distances. For example here:

I was able to reach the destined point (SW corner) simply by running over all 4 lancers (no reaction fire) and avoiding AT Turret. OFC I wouldn't be able to survive even 1/10 of enemy turn, but it simply didn't happen. :D

Destroying enemy tanks is as always all about butt-fucking them:

Frontal attack can take over 10 shots, and they are able to kill almost everything with reaction fire or during their turn (direct attack).

As for the (often crticized) story...

It's simply fabulous!

"Fixing" weaknesses (bad potentials) of our units via special missions is great idea as well:

Same as in VC1, I'm rolling with 99% female unit, so when I finally realized what these "titles" I was reciving after missions were really for (prefix / suffix), the choice was simple:

We're so great, even the Ashkenazi Queen loves us:

Verdict: one of the best tactical games ever.

It's a good game, with probably one of the coolest crafting systems.

I knew I couldn't be the only one who always did that.

Eisenhorn Xenos

Spoiler

Well its an adventure, stealth, action game set in Warhammer 40k universe, following the investigation of inquisitor Eisenhorn into cultish a xeno affairs.

The biggest problem is the camera that cant be changed from this very close look, unless you are in combat or in a cutscene.

Local governers have no authority over the imperial inquisitor.

Inquisitors have no friends.

The combat is very basic.

The stealth parts are kind of ruined by dumb enemies.

Visiting the Xeno worlds.

Its a very mixed game, it has very good looking parts but also very badly looking parts, some good voice acting and some horrible ones, and the story is sometimes interesting but other times hard to follow.

Eisenhorn

The Eisenhorn novels are pretty good. Up until the author makes him something of a W4K James Bond that is.

Trying out some new map templates for HoMM3:

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Arcticfox, Amiga, 1986

Destroying an Air Converter with cannonfire, the main weapon of the Arcticfox. A minimap in the bottom-center of the screen reveals the surrounding area and enemies (as red dots).

Spoiler

The minimap can be switched with a rear-view camera, here showing a mine left by the Arcticfox (a red pyramid) about to destroy an enemy Recon Sled that is trailing the Arcticfox.

Blizzards will occasionally envelop the Arcticfox, sometimes to the point of causing a complete whiteout of your screen.

The cannon can be inclined to hit enemy Fighters and Recon Flyers.

Lightning storms will scramble your radar, causing distortion of the minimap.

Taking damage causes a gradual change in the color of the damage gauge on the right side of the screen. Taking too much damage results in the screen cracking and a game over.

Guided missiles, though scarce in number, can be launched from the Arcticfox. After launch, the radar minimap / rear-view camera switches to the missile's point of view until it hits something, during which time you can control its direction.

A successful mission requires the destruction of the Main Fortress, which isn't too difficult in Beginner Mode once you've discovered its location. Tournament mode not only adds more physics but also offers multiple options for both enemy configuration and starting location, with the ability to have the computer randomly select from the available choices.

Dynamix would go on to develop many more games, most notably Red Baron in 1990, the same year it was purchased by Sierra.

Trying out some new map templates for HoMM3:

Are you using a mod? Some UI elements seem different. And what's up with all that empty space below your character's card?

HD mod (custom resolutions, adds some shortcut buttons etc). Unfortunately not all of the UI elements can be stretched to fill the available space at 1920x1200.

Colonialism is back bitches!


I fucking hate persuasion missions.


I swear to God I'm trying, but I really find next to 0 reason to use anything but the minigun so far.






Fucking Africa man. Fucking poorfags didn't have one lousy POS with wheels so I had to crawl the whole fucking map to get back to the evac zone.




Boring ass mission is boring. I'm having fun but I was promised rape and, so far, it's been smooth sailing.
