Sounds like someone's in need of whoopass

endgame spoilers ahead

Spoiler

Boreale, ever the smooth operator

Cooking is serious business

Expected classic wuxia restaurant whoopass, but alas the fight was taken outside

!!

Trial by combat it is.

*massive whoopass later*

Victory was never in doubt

First Secretary Boreale

CULT SCUM GO TO HELL

Words can hardly express how awesome the endgame is. It's a yuge segment of endless whoopass that includes wuxia masters, villains, ninjas, traitors, random korean wandering heroes, traitors turning good again, massive brawls and emotional engagement. This is Wuxia with a capital fucking W.

Eat shit and die

!

!!

!!!

and thus the world was saved

but at what cost?!

Commander Boreale, the great xia of Wulin.

I guess this is some kind of 'thanks for playing' message. All I can say is thanks for making this game, fellow Chinese comrades. One of the coolest RPGs I've ever played. Will definitely replay it at some point.

Ok fine, reinstalling.

What's the game?

The wedding cake is their biggest problem right now, I guess.

You're aiming at the wrong person the real criminal is that guy I mean just look at his tux.

I'm afraid to ask but... is it good?

If you want a combat-focused platformer RPG set in Chernobyl (the author is Ukrainian so it's probably based on his neighbourhood) and don't mind the MLP theme, then I'd say yes.
I haven't progressed much into the game though so it might get worse around the next corner. Also, controls might take some time to get used to.

Karmic Battles can get silly if you use a single hero too much.

Multiple titles

Alien Isolation - fantastic game, great atmosphere and design, too long

Spoiler

Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain - awesome gameplay, great performance, shitty story

Spoiler

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - screens from Co-Op session with my friend, best co-op experience outside of sandbox games, they don't make 'em like this anymore

Spoiler

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and Warrior Within - first one is game for everyone. A fairy tale with clear bad guys, simple plot and good execution. Smooth animations, timeless art direction, bit simple combat and sometimes you fight not the enemy but camera. Prince even spreads some wisdom during the game - "Woman. You need to show them their place right at the start." Classic. Second one is for angry teens with its darker theme, foul language and metal soundtrack. But I personally enjoy it the most - amazing combat with combos, less linear, more enemy and platforming variety, more varied soundtrack and difficult.

Spoiler

First one:

Second one:

World in Conflict - great combat RTS, smooth controls, nice graphics and effects, good enough story, destructible environments. Needs more color. Multi-player is still active today.

Spoiler

Consortium: The Tower - early access sequel to Consortium. Imagine Deus Ex with lot more dialogue options - you can talk to anyone, persuade them to join you or whatever in a typical RPG Choice and Consequence way. Lots of dialogue options and places/mechanics to explore. Takes place in one giant building. Pretty cool. Right now, content is about 30-40 hours overall.

Suddenly, a wild goddess appears!

A little bit later our (still modest) party encounters some tiefs:

That's 40 levels without dying. I can get this fairly consistently, but after that, it turns into a survival-horror-puzzle game. 1cc = no deaths, because you need the candy (at least rapid fire) and shoes to "solve" most of the levels consistently. Without them you'll just lose more lives.

Spoiler

Like this one. Many runs ended here.

Bonus Beer

This level triggers an immediate Hurry Up! and the Baron appears. And like in many other levels >40, enemies will escape bubbles in one second. No upgrades? Tough shit.

Reach level 50 without dying for a warp to level 70.

Tricky because bubbles are floating downwards.

I need a break.

The House of Flame for HoMM 3 made me realize that Fire Magic is the strongest skill in the game.
I think the only way to win this battle (except waiting several years to accumulate enough units, which I frankly can't be bothered with) is with Expert Berserk. Unfortunately the main hero starts will a full roster of skills of which Fire Magic was not one of them.

I have the Armageddon's Blade, but even combined with the Orb of Vulnerability it has no effect for some reason, although against so huge stacks it would only make small dent anyway.

According to the spoiler in the ReadMe you should use a second hero with Expert Fire Magic to reduce the defenders to one stack.

I also really like the voice acting and script; there's something noble about how the characters interact, and I like that even the "dumb strong guy" PC sounds intelligent and well-mannered. Extremely atmospheric game in my opinion.

Indeed, Foxwen voice was really nice and sound professional, she wasn't edgy or trying to be humorous but acted in a wise manner with strangers and last but not least, the dialogues are simple and to the point without being artificially long with some extra lore dumps. For the most of the game you get to know the Tempest by visiting all the areas. Many games that included it after CD-ROM craze started were horrible due to the fact of hiring some amateurs and/or using bad recording equipment.

As for the soundtrack, it never felt to me, that I should lower the volume or turn it off because it helps building the atmosphere. The composer, Jamie McMenamy made also music for Chronomaster (interesting sci-fi adventure with the story from Roger Zelazny and Jane Lindskold), and Sanitarium. Too bad he didn't stay for a longer, now he composes ambient/new age albums from what I've checked. The Sound Blaster version is flat, compared to the Roland SC-88.

This game has a special place in my heart.

They finally let her out. My main since SC2 and forever waifu. It's been 10 years since she's been playable in a new game.

I love this game, but of all the dozens of RTS games I played, this one has the worst pathfinding.

Haemimont was in the same building I was working back in 2005-2010, though not sure if it was up or down the stairs from us. I can't believe their main office is still listed as that dump of an communist building, I thought they would have moved with their success with Tropico and Surviving Mars. Seemed a reasonably cheerful bunch of lads as well, though I didn't speak with them.

 

[The Red Knight]

You should play Jurassic (Primitive) War, where your units can go from this:

... to this:

... when merely told to climb that cliff.

They also love taking a break for a drink next to bodies of water:

... and either doing bridge macarena, moving back and forth between two corner tiles forever, or going full retard and deciding to go to the other side of the map to look for another crossing rather than the one you told them to use:

In the picture: one retard who couldn't take a few more steps to go between two trees to the destination point and five retards in the minimap who decided to go all the way around, each one doing a few seconds long dance before following the previous guy (and it's not even that the bridge retard blocked them, they all decided to go south before he reached it).

And in some later missions you may end up controlling screen-sized armies with no time to groom someone into a self-sufficient killing machine that you can babysit step by step.


Though, you could argue that primitive pathfinding for primitive men is actually lore-friendly.

 

[Darth Roxor]

I'm sorry, but nothing beats Dawn of War 1 pathfinding and that's a freaking fact.
