I need to play Alan Wake 2 as I got it for Christmas, but I want to replay Alan Wake 1 first, and I just haven't had the time. Curses.

I played through years back & liked it but settled for YouTube plot recap videos as a refresher. Guessing current editions omit the VERIZON billboards during tense nightmare segments.

The car that he drove in the first game was a funny one too, I guess Alan Wake was one out of about five people that actually bought a Lincoln MKT.

Don't leave out American Nightmare as well, or at least watch all the Scratch videos. Excellent, hilarious villain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYZjggIwWjc Just wrapped the first Alan Wake II DLC chapter and yep, y'all definitely need to play the base game first. It's as batshit as was advertised. Hyrax Attack! posted:Guessing current editions omit the VERIZON billboards during tense nightmare segments. It is nice that Epic Games basically funded Remedy for all of Alan Wake II, so there's zero weirdo Energizer Battery promotions. And the feds get a poo poo-rear end rental.

bird food bathtub posted:Manor Lords has me hooked pretty good since Friday. Early access stuff like two policies you can sign, ever, on a tree that shows like 20, and the tutorial is not going to give you critical information so you learn the hard way. Games still fun, I'm getting stuff figured out and getting solid progress towards kicking that baron's rear end. I put a few hours into it today and I can't help but feel Farthest Frontier does the town side better, and while the combat is deeper and the region mechanic is interesting it's just.... not that exciting. That said, it's still early access.

I’ve put 80 hours into Ultimate Admiral in 2.5 weeks. It scratches the right sort of grog. A lot of the underlying mechanics will feel very similar to anyone who ever got into Aurora4x. But it’s wrapped up with a coherent focus and a UI that works.

This seems up your alley lmao, it's an alpha tech demo, but all the engineering systems are functional and work in a way that is sensible to someone who understands engineering. orange juche fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Jun 15, 2024 |

Comrade Blyatlov posted:i only clicked through that video briefly but it looks close in theory to the simulators i trained on Yeah that's just the engineering plant, the other systems are supposed to be similarly detailed, since it's supposed to be "Starship simulator" and while this guy is doing it all himself, you can task AI crewmembers to assist with things so that you're not doing all this poo poo yourself, or you somehow rope friends/random internet people into doing the annoying poo poo for you. I'd say this is overly ambitious for a small dev team, but the guy who's making this has done this thing 3 or 4 times before with similar levels of attention to detail for both Star Trek (got a C&D from Paramount lol) and Orville (Got the opposite of a C&D, got an attaboy and encouragement).

There is a demo out for this on steam and it seems promising. More like Into the Breach than Xcom and pretty funny as well.

Have been playing Aliens: Dark Decent this past week, and oh man is it hitting all sorts of dopamine buttons for me. It's like XCOM 1/2 had a baby with Shadow Tactics or Desperados 3. Supremely fun, especially if you're an Aliens fan.

Still enjoying Alan Wake 2. Probably 3/4s or so done, some takes: -Saga is a drastically more interesting character than Alan, and her levels are more fun & compelling. I like trying to land crossbow bolts in Coffee World & the plot hook of her daughter is fascinating. Alan’s subway level was good but the endless noir city is dull & I get it Alex Casey is hardboiled. Although the musical level was neat. -good combat although inventory management is terrible, I’m on PC & can do whatever I’m trying to do except select a healing item in combat. Click, nothing, click click no I don’t want to move it click click I’m dead. If I have stuff preassigned to number keys it’s fine but holy cow Resident Evil figured this out decades ago. -the Twilight Zone homage is getting thin, and I tried the first Night Springs mission when it was offered & it was oddly badly written & paced. The waitress endlessly shoots taken & loves Alan & that’s it no twist. -tiny quibble, was digging the vibe at the start of the game up until Nightingale autopsy when felt like developers rushed the scene & ignored details. It’s cool when Scully does autopsies but she’s a doctor & dresses appropriately, Saga just dug right in & I don’t even think had gloves on. Then after when there are (new) dead bodies around two deputies wander in to see what the hubbub was about, & they’re not caring a dead deputy is in plain view by their feet, & when you go upstairs no one is interested how multiple coworkers just died. I know it’s a horror game but up to that point Saga was all about crime scene procedures & we were gathering clues, felt off to have the cops not react. A few voiced lines of “oh no!” & an ambulance outside would have done the job.

Incredibly late to the party on Elden Ring but I just got it on the Steam summer sale, I'm only ~5 hours in so far but I can tell that this is something pretty special. The last Fromsoft game I played was Dark Souls 2 which I for some reason did not like at all, so I'm glad to see that they appear to be back in business. I immediately turned off all of the multiplayer poo poo and set everything to offline mode, what kind of sick bastard wants to deal with other people in a soulsborne game?

If that turns off the sign and bloodstain system, I'd reconsider that. I've played the game as essentially single player but didn't expressly turn off the multiplayer interaction. You won't get just blindly attacked unless you're already summoning in parties to help you or joining other people's worlds by choice. The signs run from dumb jokes like "try hole" next to a spiky object to very useful like clueing you in on a hidden door/item around a corner or advising you to look up when there are nasty enemies hanging from the ceiling. The blood stain, you can interact with it to see a ghost-track of another player's last few seconds alive. Most of this is just someone dodge-rolling and then doing a death animation, but you'll find things out like "no, you can't jump off this ledge" from them.

Definitely play online, you don't get invaded unless you choose to or summon players to help. Lots of dumb and amusing tips, but also lots of helpful ones.
