And yes, you're supposed to talk to everyone, eventually they ask for favors, give you presents or ask you to give them nicknames (hehe) The hook to me was mostly trying to complete the museum, making my home look cool (which can take a while depending on your luck with getting types of furniture that go together). But idk, I like the whole living a simulated life thing, Stardew Valley is also one of my favorite games and it shares some of that spirit. The happy home academy stuff gets filled out when you streetpass with people who own the game if i'm not mistaken. I played it mostly when it was new, so a walk through the mall with my 3ds was enough to get a few hehe. |

Man i wish a fallout would port to the switch, i can never get couch time anymore, it’s handheld or nothing lately. Open worlds, shooting, rpg, these are fun things
Been bumpin some kirby Star allies on switch, it’s laughably easy but the colors are nice and bright and it’s relaxing actually and sometimes i just wanna sit back and look at colors and grin and fadeout slowly |

Might be a game that’s just not for me, at this point in my life, i fear b/c at this point in my life It often seems as tho every last of the non-furry persons in my life is already upset w/me to some degree at all times owing to my inability to provide them w/the degree of wants that they often feel they need from me So, like When Timbra or Koco or whomever wants to dress me down for not booting the game for a week or more, or punish me to a painful game of pull all the weeds in time, or dwell upon my routine failure to omg i didn’t even take that shirt to Vlad by the end of the day even tho i SAID i would do it, and it was Vlads omg his stupid birthday this morning and u didn’t even donate to the bridge.....

I figure he must have signed off on it, eh.
The protagonist was known as Ade the Bastard, after all. |

The combat is different for sure, but it's pretty simple so far. But if you run out of bullets you are apparently fucked and will have to start the episode/level over. |

Has anybody played Pathologic 2 by chance?
For whatever reason my colleague keeps urging me to play it, I'm not sure why as I'm not a gamer (I play Stardew Valley for half an hour once a month to arrange plants for an ultimate designer garden, that's about it.) |

I am so damn addicted to Shadow of Mordor right now.
Even though it has few gameplay pillars aside from massacring Orcs, the "Nemesis System" makes it endless fun, because it's always creating the craziest emergent non-scripted gameplay scenarios. Even though the combat is ripped straight from the Arkham games, the different enemy types and the different weaknesses/resistances of captains and warchiefs makes it so you have to strategize more and always be on your toes. Such a slight change makes a big difference. Plus, I think the counter windows are a lot shorter than they are in Batman, so I find it a lot more difficult. The stealth is fun, but the Orc AI is pretty damn dumb, so stealth in this game is much easier than in the Arkham games. In Arkham, the enemy thugs will detect you if you cross their line of sight almost instantly (there is a small window of grace, but it's so short it's almost non-existent). In this game, you can run around in front of an Orc's face and it will take him ages to catch on. The stealth is closer to Assassin's Creed in AI dumbness, but the sheer number of ways to dispatch enemies still makes it more fun (I've never been able to get into Assassin's Creed, anyway). The traversal is also pretty AC-inspired, and even though it's still buggy and Talion sometimes just stands still when I'm trying to jump off a ledge or something, I find the controls more intuitive than in AC, where I would constantly be jumping off of buildings while trying to scale them. I guess Shadow of Mordor being a Batman/Assassin's Creed mashup makes sense, because the developers working on it were originally supposed to work on a Batman game, and then moved a lot of their work over to the LOTR IP when they didn't get the go-ahead to continue work on Batman. And some of the people on the team worked on AC for Ubisoft. Speaking of Assassin's Creed, I hear that the newer ones are a bit of a break from the old ones I never really cared for, and are a lot better. I should probably check them out when the prices come down. However, I'm not in a huge hurry, because most of the innovations seem like shit that Witcher 3 has already done, and probably does better. And I'm not even finished that game yet. |

I just started playing the original Witcher. God damn the initial controls/camera are terrible. I almost gave up. Click to location should not be the default

As much as I love the third entry, I've had no desire to check out the earlier ones. I feel like they'd appeal more to hardcore fans of the series or gamers in general than to filthy casuals who just want a fun and intuitive experience, like me.

I've never played any of them. I don't think my gpu is good enough to play 3. This is really a business laptop and not a gaming one, I just get away with some stuff since it does have a AMD FirePro W4170M

I'm ~43% done with the Red Dead Redemption 2 story. I've been greeting everyone I meet but can't get my honor level to go up more even though the little icon appears and I've been doing a bunch of chores. I guess I need to do something else to max it out to get the trophy.

Been playing dat Hitman: Blood Money a bit recently.
Damn, it's pretty hard and opaque, but the couple times I've been able to complete a mission without getting into a firefight and without having to look up a walkthrough have made me feel like a genius. I like the puzzle-like, sandbox nature of it. I just wish it was a little more apparent what you can and can't do. |

Hate it when a game is unclear about what’s allowed, or u lose/fail for some arbitrary reason that’s not flagged beforehand or at least intuitive from the presentation
As for me been gettin my ass kicked by ring fit adventure; this is a fun game and it makes me sweat and pant. It’s still a very weird feeling to be blasting baddies with the power of my squats, but its the most enthused ive been about exercising in years |

Of course, it might be highly unlikely that one would win it on the first try because of how difficult it is, but it should be possible to. To illustrate what I mean, lets say a game gives you two possible doors to walk through. You walk through one, and it turns out to be booby-trapped, so you die and it's an automatic fail state. There were no clues as to which door was the correct one. Going through the correct one was totally a matter of chance, and the only reason you know which one is correct now is due having had lost earlier and remembering your mistake. Purely trial-and-error. I would call that bad game design. One one fails at a game, it should be for reasons the player can understand. It should be due to a failure to master the mechanics of the game, or a failure to pay attention, or a failure of the player's responsiveness to the game's cues. It shouldn't just be arbitrary or random. Sometimes I feel that Hitman: Blood Money relies a bit too much on trial-and-error, and sometimes feels a little arbitrary. I wouldn't go as far to say that it's poorly designed, though. It's actually quite well designed. It's quite a clever and tight puzzle/sandbox game that allows for the player to use their creativity to achieve objectives in an open-ended way. The game just could do better at teaching the player the mechanics. I'm still kinda getting used to it, but I'm starting to find little "aha" moments here and there. Older games just in general seem to be harder and less new-player-friendly than newer ones, so I'm guessing that if I ever graduate to the 2016 or 2018 installments (they are fucking expensive, though), they will be a bit more transparent than Blood Money. |

Everyone should play Outer Wilds. What a wonderful little game.
The sense of exploration and discovery is incredible and what a fascinating little solar system they built! |

I downloaded Darksiders Genesis last night and I'm pleasantly surprised. It's like a darksiders/diablo hybrid of a game.
Only $30 |
