I'm doing a good job at catching you in a lie where you claimed to play the games you leech.

So, again, maybe if you played 10% of the shit you begged you wouldn't feel the urge to beg for more shit that just goes unplayed.

Fuck GOG. Don't support Witcher games. Also, there's some pricing glitch on Evolve in Indonesia or someplace and traders are selling it for 5 TF2 keys.

How are the Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army games? Worth $8.49 for some mindless zombie killing fun?

I BOUGHTED MANY RPG GAMES

Quest for Infamy
Dead State
Shadowgate
Age of Decadence
Lords of Xulima
Elminage Gothic
Binding of Isaac Rebirth
Legends of Eisenwald
Blood
Blood 2
Blood Omen 2: Legacy of Kain
Walking Dead pinball
Spess Hulk Spess Wolves DLC
Spess Hulk Harbinger of Torment campaign

Kinda wobbly on Dead State, AoD, and Eisenwald but the red mist descended. Especially Dead State since they seem to be going from "Well it has 3 locations and 5 encounters" to "Game is released!" suspiciously quickly for a game that's been in development for 30 years. Xulima and Shadowgate look pretty rocking, Quest for Infamy sounds like it could be fun but reviews seem a bit iffy. Elminage Gothic is most likely going to be too animu and once the first group of schoolgirls attack me with panties in a dungeon I'll be out. Binding of Isaac 'cause what the hell, Blood 1 because Blood 1 is great, Blood 2 because I feel obligated to buy it even though from what I remember about playing the demo years and years ago it was pretty bad. Walking Dead pinball 'cause Pinball FX2 is good stuff. Space Hulk DLC 'cause they were cheap and I don't really have an issue with the Space Hulk game and each one has some more maps so whatever.

Do you like the idea of playing as an elite sniper fighting against an army of Nazi zombies? If so, this just might be what you were waiting for.

I wouldn't consider it mindless since your character is kinda fragile, so playing it YOLO-style is probably not viable until you know the maps by heart. The satisfying X-ray gibbing mechanic unfortunately loses most of its impact in this setting since your enemies are hordes of brainless tards (literally).

Xulima and Shadowgate look pretty rocking

Shadowgate is really good.

Quest for Infamy sounds like it could be fun but reviews seem a bit iffy.

It is a good Quest For Glory Sierra like adventure game.

Elminage Gothic is most likely going to be too animu and once the first group of schoolgirls attack me with panties in a dungeon I'll be out.

I can't stand most animu shit, however this doesn't have RAGE INDUCING retarded animu shit in it. It is a well done (older) Wizardry clone.

Once you start accepting animu there is no deviating from your path to the dark side.

Cool beans. Pretty promising pile of games then. Took a super super short look at Xulima (Won't be playing it for reals for a while now and still got LoG2 to finish up anyway) by just firing it up and running around with the default party a bit. Gives a really good first impression.

Got Realms of Haunting and Walking Dead 2.

Looking forward to Realms of Haunting. It's a weirdo FPS adventure hybrid that uses FMV and the Doom engine. So pretty much the most 90s game ever made?

Hue. Buddy of mine's been playing AoD since I've been having the day from hell and been completely unable to vidiergaem so my Steam library's been available to him. Apart from informing me that combat should be avoided at absolutely all costs and spears are awful he does say it's quite good.

10:14 PM - Buddy is now Online.
10:44 PM - Buddy: #1 Praetor right here.
10:50 PM - Buddy: This game is kinda neat.
11:26 PM - Buddy: This game isn't neat. It's actually pretty fuckin' good.
11:26 PM - Buddy: c:

12:14 AM - MHC: TELL ME EVERYTHING ABOUT THE AGE OF DECADENCE BECAUSE I HAVE YET TO PLAY A VIDEOGAME TODAY AND I JUST GOT BACK FROM A TWO PLUS HOUR TRIP BECAUSE I WAS CALLED WITH HEP COW
12:14 AM - MHC: HEP
12:14 AM - MHC: HEP PLS
12:14 AM - Buddy: COMBAT IS LITERALLY THE HARDEST THING IN THE WORLD.
12:14 AM - Buddy: NEVER FIGHT FOR ANY REASON.
12:14 AM - Buddy: TALK AND IF YOU CAN'T TALK JUST DIE.
12:14 AM - MHC: I SEE
12:15 AM - MHC: That's kinda what I heard. It's hard even if you devote everything into being a fighter character, but at least you can win SOME combat then
12:15 AM - MHC: Plus absolutely tons of information the game won't tell you right off the bat so replays reveal why certain shit happens etc etc etc
12:16 AM - MHC: So greatest RPG of all time you say.
12:16 AM - Buddy: It's pretty good. Especially if you do what I do and play all the class quests in the beginning.
12:16 AM - Buddy: LET ME TELL YOU EVERYONE IS A LIAR.
12:16 AM - Buddy: MAINLY YOU.
12:16 AM - Buddy: BUT STILL.
12:16 AM - MHC: :3
12:17 AM - MHC: Segundo would you go so far as to say that some of them want to use you, and that maybe, just maybe, some of them want to be used by you?
12:17 AM - Buddy: Is that Depeche Mode?
12:17 AM - MHC: Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe
12:18 AM - Buddy: ANOTHER THING.
12:18 AM - Buddy: SPEARS SUCK.
12:18 AM - MHC: Poor spears
12:18 AM - Buddy: You can't use them to hit dudes right up on you.
12:18 AM - Buddy: Which is a shame.
12:18 AM - Buddy: Because I ain't spending 1ap to back up EVERYTIME.
12:18 AM - MHC: Keep them from ever getting close
12:18 AM - MHC: WITH YOUR SPEAR
12:19 AM - Buddy: TOO BAD NO ONE EVER TAKES DAMAGE.
12:19 AM - Buddy: BECAUSE ARMOR IS THE REAL DEAL IN THIS GAME.
12:19 AM - Buddy: Almost ALL talky skills are useful though.
12:19 AM - Buddy: I've seen checks for each.
12:23 AM - Buddy: You should try being a grifter.
12:23 AM - Buddy: Is fun c:
12:24 AM - Buddy: Did you want to make game?
12:24 AM - MHC: Not immediately
12:24 AM - Buddy: WHATEVER THEN
12:24 AM - Buddy: WHAT.
12:24 AM - Buddy: EVER.
12:24 AM - MHC: NEED TO DECOMPRESS AND SHOVE SOME CANDY IN MY GOB
12:25 AM - Buddy: YEAH WELL I JUST PUT RAT POISON IN A WINE JUG.
12:25 AM - Buddy: WE BOTH HAVE HAD DAYS.
12:25 AM - MHC: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT
12:25 AM - MHC: RATS DON'T DRINK WINE
12:25 AM - Buddy: DON'T THEY THOUGH.
12:25 AM - MHC: THIS DOESN'T ADD UP
12:26 AM - Buddy: The biggest rat...
12:26 AM - Buddy: Is man.
12:26 AM - MHC: !
12:28 AM - Buddy: One thing I like is that it gets rid of a lot of the bullshit.
12:28 AM - Buddy: They tend to take you to the places you need to go immediately.
12:29 AM - MHC: Yeah, heard that. Like Blaggards. I can approve of that since I've had my fill of checking barrels for coins for the most part.
12:29 AM - Buddy: Yeah. It's like, "BREAK INTO THIS GUYS HOUSE AT MIDNIGHT." Your choices are "WELL CAN I GO FUCKING SHOPPING." Or "Wait until midnight, transport to house."
12:30 AM - Buddy: AND ANOTHER THING.
12:30 AM - Buddy: For non-fighty dudes, critical strike is worth it. If you have a dagger in your inventory you can pass a skill check and just murder dudes without foightan.

Well done considering he doesn't even particularly like replaying Fallout because it's old (Though he did play and like 1 and 2), threw away Baldur's Gate in disgust because he cannot into AD&D, and threw away ToEE because... I don't even remember why. Got pissed off at the early difficulty I think. So your game is getting a thumb's up from a non-Codexer not particularly hardcore RPGer Vault Dweller

You will be surprised by the ammount and quality of the puzzles. Shooting parts are ok, but it always didn't feel as good as in Doom. Still, very underrated and charming game. The FMV sequences didn't make me wanna laugh, so it's a plus too. You will start swearing near the end, with gathering one element puzzle, moving towards the maze of corridors and trying to find the monsters that have them. That was the only moment that made me angry.

Any chance for Heretic/Hexen/Quake promo? I decided to give it another chance after Doom1+2+missions packs.

I only bough Resident Evil 4 but from 1C shop for like €4, better deal than GG where they give you back 2 bucks.

Originally didn't intend to play AoD until it was released, but buddy raving about it made me take a look. Hot damn that's some good storyfagging. Started out a loremaster, kinda ended up a merchant, shenanigans happened, then I was ambushed on the road and eaten alive by worms. Won't be playing too heavily until it's done but now I'm definitely glad I picked it up.

Loremaster/merchant is a great build - probably my favorite non-combat one from the earlier EA version. Very rewarding in terms of quests.
