What Game Did You Play Today?

Playing the butts out of Dragon Ball Xenoverse, I can’t tell if these fighting mechanics are polished or not because the only other fighting games I’ve played are Smash and a different Dragon Ball game.

One of my scientists in Aurora died in an accident while working on his research. He was working on a ship attachment to mine asteroids too, which would have been useful. Not sure how you get more scientists. Or any officers really. As far as I can tell you just have to wait for them to join you. And with that guy gone I only have 3 left right now and they’re all working on things.

Also right now I’m trying to form a mining colony on Venus as it has minerals I want.

And I didn’t know that Uranus or Neptune were gas planets. I thought they had surfaces but apparently not.

Playing through Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition.

“I fought the law and the law won”. MAKE IT STOP.

Today I played some TIS-100, a game by Zachtronics (currently in Early Access on Steam).
As one review correctly noticed “it’s as if a farmer after a hard day in the field went home and played some Farmer Simulator”.
It’s essentially programming puzzles.
So far I’ve done 6 segments and enjoyed it very much.
It is a very niche game, as you can see by the trailer.

Black Mesa, the steam edition. All of the crazy little details from HL1 are here.

The crazy, wonky flashlight that’s the same size at distance.

The way you can sit at the center back of the lift in unforeseen consequences and the headcrabs will just jump over you.

Locked doors that, when you keep trying to access them, will just give you increasingly exasperated and humorous vox messages.

That game looks interesting. Over my head and doesn’t really look like my kind of game, but it’s an interesting concept nonetheless.

I’ve been playing some CS:GO lately, I actually won a DM round for the first time. Funny, yesterday was the last day of school for me this year. I guess that summertime hype helped me with those one-taps.
I bought the Nintendo Humble Bundle a few hours ago, I’ll probably mess with those games soon.

Finished The Witcher (1)

Sleeping Dogs: Def Edition

Visited/unlocked every health shrine, lockbox and every police camera investigation place in the game, as well as all the favours. Now I need to win all the races (some of them are an absolute bitch), buy all the clothes and cars and then move onto the 2 ‘separate’ DLC.

Playing ESO and it is quite fun. A little confusing to navigate tho, and it can be frustrating, but overall I do like it as much as the other installments.

Has anyone played bloodborne btw? Can they give me a good comparison to a game other than dark souls xD or at least a description or recommendation of some sort?

Shot down one out of like 4 UFOs that appeared at a time in X-COM: UFO Defense. It had mutons and I was doing decently but ended up losing pretty much everyone that I sent to investigate so I quit.

Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea.

Was, for the most part, entirely awesome, but I’m really not certain about the ending of Episode 2.

Started my own playthrough of X-COM Apocalypse after having been watching a lets play of it recently. This might be one of my favorite games ever. And apparently it was released without being finished too. That always seems to happen to games that are ambitious. It’s quite a bit more involved than the original game and it seems like you are able to do more during combat than in the original game. Also the destruction is better too.

Hopefully that OpenXCOM-ish remake of the game doesn’t take forever so I don’t have to use DOSBox to play it.

I bought Wolfenstein: TNO on sale and started playing it. It’s fun so far, but the texture pop-in is atrocious. I don’t think that warrants a refund, though. Game is fun, all that matters.

Finished most of the content in Sleeping Dogs and the DLC’s. Can’t be bothered going over everything that’s left.

Got a good 36 hours out of it. Time to move on to something else. Might play Metro 2033 Redux.

Still doing decently in X-COM Apocalypse. Hate brainsuckers though. I had two of my people brainsucked today but I reloaded to prevent it. Enemies that turn your own people against you (especially with no way to reverse it) and enemies that spawn other enemies either as an attack or when they die are both stupid and Apocalypse has both

Just started playing System Shock 2. I bought it and tried it a while back, and wasn’t too enthralled. I decided to give it another shot, and oh my, this game is actually fantastic. Also, it has Stephen Russel, my favorite voice actor.

I bought System Shock 2 on sale and I’m too chicken to play it.

Finished the first mission of Dishonored’s Knife of Dunwall DLC.

Ori and the Blind Forest. This game is pretty as hell, and it’s got a nice little collectathon thing going for it, but man does it club you over the head with the story. No, really, you don’t actually need to narrate what’s happening. I get it.

No need to be chicken, it’s fun. Resource management is a real thing, man. And the Knife of Dunwall, I thought, was very fun. I think I enjoyed it a little more than the main story.
