What Game Did You Play Today?

Yeah those two. I was too lazy to grab the names xD

Enforcer I’m not surprised everyone hates. Just slow and boring. Bandit I suck at but he’s very fun and feels powerful. I’ve looked up the other characters on the Wiki and I’m not sure which of them are up to my taste. Probably the most appealing is the Huntress, and the Mercenary looks fun but scary cause he’s fully melee.

Starting to remember what lots of the items actually do just by seeing them drop/appear which is nice.

Hopped back into Antichamber after quite a while. I don’t remember the game hurting my eyes as much as it does now…

Have been enjoying Borderlands 2, which I thought to be a gimmick. Currently on my way after acquiring the power thing, that were the goal after saving some Reiss. The game is for me on par with the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. at atmosphere.

Managed my first-ever baron steal in League of Legends today. It completely turned around the game I was playing, to boot.

EDIT: More HL2 streaming.

I played a little bit of Gish, one of many games that I’ve built up in my backlog.

And I think a little bit was quite enough.

Valkyria Chronicles on PC today.

I made it to the Cathedral in Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. It’s a level that’s bigger than any of the other levels in the game… and it’s a boss rush. I beat the final final boss on my first try, but that’s only because I had the punching bag; without him, I would have been utterly fucked.

Sure you don’t mean the chest?

Finished Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - 100% (aside from a few Steam achievements + stuff from DLCs I don’t have yet).

Far Cry 4. I’m not sure if it’s just my system, but as fun as this game is, the constant locking up makes it hard to fully enjoy.

Metro Redux.

Holy cow is this game pretty.

Fuck Librarians, though. The game doesn’t clearly tell you what the way to deal with them is, and they take absurd amounts of ammo to kill.

One of the characters tells you to watch them or stare at em or something.

The best way I’ve found is to have a staring contest with em then they leave you alone.

Edit: So I’ve been playing Unreal, and I was wondering if anyone knew of some good texture and sound packs to add to the game. Also, could anyone point me to a guide on how to put your own music INTO the game, if that’s possible. I have the community made patch, 227i I believe, if that makes a difference at all.

I didn’t feel this deserved its own thread.

Yeah, that’s what got me. He was about to say it when a cutscene triggered early and got cut off.

Then later, he tell you to remember what he told you… :facepalm:

It’s been a while since I played Metro 2033, but I remember the Volt Driver being pretty effective against them (and just about everything else :stuck_out_tongue: ).

Oh yeah, that pressurized gun basically destory’s whateve you hit if you pump it to max pressure.

Played some Rust. Got basically spawn camped by a naked guy with a stone shiv, who proceeded to follow me around at a distance, wait till I had collected some materials, then went and stabbed me quietly from behind. Happened three times before I outsmarted him and beat his ass with a rock. Ended up dying, but not before I killed him.

Super Smash Bros for Wii U, Super Mario 3D World, and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD. I’m having a fun time playing these games.

I finally gave in and looked up the counting scheme in Fez. There are six unique 9X9 grid images that make up numbers. Three of them are completely asymmetric, and so could be rotated four different directions and yield four different images. One of them is symmetric only on one axis, so that it yields two images. And two of them are symmetric on two axes, so that they’re the same no matter which way you rotate them. That makes sixteen unique images.

So, great! Base 16; hexadecimal. This makes perfect sense, given how obsessed with computer terminology this game is. I was so convinced I had it right, and I was just waiting to find some clue that would finally shed light on which number corresponded to which pattern. Maybe it had to do with the notches on the edges of the counting cube…

But, nope. It’s base ten, with an addition scheme so that certain numbers are represented by more than one pattern. WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE EXPECT A SET OF NUMERALS WHERE CERTAIN NUMBERS CAN BE WRITTEN MORE THAN ONE WAY.

I gave up on Fez a looong time ago.

It’s fun to explore and it’s cute and pretty with a good soundtrack. But seriously fuck some of the puzzles. There is no way in hell I’d get them without googling the solutions.

I think I watched a LP of Fez where the player managed to single-handedly solve all of the puzzles, at least up to a certain point.

I played Metro: Last Light Redux. To be honest, I don’t this game is quite as good as the first one, and the story is less compelling. You get captured and have to make a dramatic escape /twice/ in a short time, and also need to rescue your companion from captivity once. It’s scrappy writing to do that, IMO.

That said, it is fairly fun, and the outdoor scenes are amazingingly gorgeous.

It’s the Fez avatar that makes this post.

Anyway, I 100%'d (er, 200%'d) Fez today. I did end up looking up some of the solutions, eg. the Monolith puzzle (because I was afraid it was going to be some 2001: A Space Odyssey trivia bullshit, and I didn’t want to deal with it), but really, once you figure out the tetris code, that’s a lot of it.
