What game are you wasting time on?

[Krivol]

So, I am somewhat weeb now - after watching some historical film about Japan in the XIX century I got an urge to play S2TW Fall of the Samurai. And it was the end.

I've been playing this game for 3 months now, watched Shogun (TV show) and Silence (by Scorsese), am reading the book Shogun, studying why bushido is in reality bullshito etc.

Oh and NFS MW (2005) modded to hell to relax a bit.

It's a slippery slope. It starts with historical samurai drama and it ends with having a favorite Idolmaster girl.

It ends with loli hentai, as certain codexers can confirm.

You, for instance?

Nah... I hate anime and am not interested in hentai... yet?

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

yet?

Yet. You said so yourself.

Hai, Cat-Headed-Eagle-san!

I've started Hexen 2, and once again I can only marvel at id software's CHAD technology. The game runs on the Quake 1 engine, and 26 years later you just hit .exe and it starts out of the box like it ain't no thang. I've never had any problem starting any game on the Quake 1-3 engines no matter my setup, and I can only expect this to remain this way, and I'm sure it'll also be the same for the Doom 3 engine in 20 years.

Even if it does work out of the box, I still recommend using the Hammer of Thyrion source port:

https://uhexen2.sourceforge.net/

Many QOL fixes.

Hexen 2 is amazing. Bought it on release and still play it almost every year to this day.

You may eat these words if you try and play Heretic II, this one's a pain to get running properly. But yeah it's impressive just how well every other id game runs out of the box, even if I use ports myself for a bit of QOL (Hammer of Thyrion is a very nice one, looks and plays identical but with some nice optional improvements).

Akshually I played it very recently. Worked like it should out of the box

Even if it does work out of the box, I still recommend using the Hammer of Thyrion source port:

Yeah, I did that in the end, because the one thing that didn't work in the base Hexen 2 for me for some reason was gamma settings, and it's something of a bummer to stumble around half-blind.

Hexen 2 is amazing. And Heretic 2 was really impressive at the time. Is amazing how good Q2 and Q3 engine games looked on 3dfx acceleration. That was truly a huge leap in graphics.

I'm dedicating thus week to Ace Combat 5

The PS2 games big appeal is that the bomber missions and air missions are much more segregated... In AC7 almost every bomber mission has a "part 2" where a bunch of fighters or a boss spawns....

So things like the A-10 and Hunchback feel like a cruel joke in AC7 and you play whole game in your fastest plane since you make up everything on time bonus... Older games make you have to find a favorite bomber just as much as interceptor because there's no way you can get the score goal for S rank on a proper bomber mission without UGB

Found blobbers to be really not my genre but i also decided to give Wizards & Warriors another shot after trying Dungeon Lords.
Not a fan of random HP/attribute points upon level-up and of constantly respawning enemies. There is lot of minor annoyances with the interface and it looks like exploring the outside locales will be a chore thanks the low FOV and the sameness of all of these trees.
Still, i like the idea of advancing from the base classes into a more advanced prestige classes and the very first dungeon was fun and promising. Also i do appreciated how fast the combat flows compared to something like Wizardry 8.

Spoiler

Got seriously stuck at the part in which you need to retrieve the crystall and the key that are out of your reach. After carefully listening to that rat loving mad stout guy i assumed that i need to use the brimstick to lure the crystal but it didn't work.
Gave up and checked the walkthrough. My idea was apparently right, i just needed to use the "use item" command differently.
I feel like an idiot.

Will start again as a slighly different party probably. Not sure if i want to start with something like 3 Warriors, 1 Rogue, 1 Wizard and 1 Priest or 2 Warriors, 2 Wizards, 1 Rogue, 1 Priest.

Tower and Dragon, a kind-of RPG for the PET. Incredible what's achievable on this most ancient platform. And it's actually fun. I just finished exploring the woods and now entered the tower. Great stuff - especially if you consider the ridiculously meagre 8K of the machine.

Bloodrayne. Good, schlocky, janky fun. Starts off strong with the atmosphere and some of the music sounds like it's from VTMB. It mixes up the enemy variety but I think I've seen enough of Nazi bases by now and I'm not even done with the area yet. Least fun bits are some worm enemies thst you can't reliably tell you're hitting and that have quite a bit of health. I couldn't figure out the hook jump attack yet and they tied a power attack to the same key Rayne's big damage cooldown is on so it's really easy to fuck it up. The game starts off trivially easy but it does pick up considerably, I had my first deaths three hours in when the game took my guns away.

Oh yeah, booba and jiggle galore, which immediately earns the game high marks compared to modern garbo.

Yeah, the jiggle is quite nice. Pretty good game, but I never could get into Bloodrayne 2.

Anyway, I've been playing some Shadow Warrior 3D. As a Build Engine game, it can be really difficult, but it is so much fun.
