Guacamelee! Gold Edition
Very nice platform game, although I recommend a gamepad instead of keyboard. If you use the latter you probably quit in later parts, where you need to synchronize your moves.

Witcher 2 - How do I playtest the game?

ultra-long wall of derpy images

Playing the 2.1 version (the final one before the ultimate enhanced diamond... Oh, you kno' which one).

So, finally reached Act 2. Massive incline!

.
.
.

Now, wait a minute. The moment I finished talking with the cuntmage, I got this:

Of course, nothing about this stuff was mentioned during the conversation. I pray to Allah it's just some broken trigger, 'cuz if it's not, it's some EPIC FAIL right there.
And I went straight to the fag, no other questgivers before him - WTF?

Positioning characters around campfires would be a good idea, if only Geralt stopped spawning in front of them after the dialogue:

Oh and the camera...

Plus the "interact" system:

Oh, if you touch the door, the action icons will disappear - you have to twitch the camera around for proper spot...



2D games were much easier to code I guess... Oh, wait, running a simple search through the script files was too difficult too:

~2 hours later I finally met the guy who (probably) should tell me about ONE of the artifacts, required to complete the main quest:

Things start making sense... But wait - let's do some sidequests first:

Too bad I picked up the wrong (yet quite timid-looking) dialogue option, and the guard told me to GTFO. I was able to guess the sum required to let Geralt and ODRIN! ODRIN! in. Too bad the game didn't recognize this - we were let in, but the quest did not update, borking itself permanently. Guess blind bribing is bad.



It seems that the concept of putting shadows / overlays around white subtitles is yet to be mastered by the CDP devs:

Shit, missing this in 1.0-2.2 required some real skill from the testers...



Thank Muhammad that at least writing and humor are top-notch:

Another quality "move back-and-forth-like-a-retard" quest. The mustache guy wants some wraiths dead. Find wraiths (far end of the map). Them bitches accuse the mustache guy of killing them. They ask you to lure him to their location. Go back to the guy. C&C time!

Initially, I've chosen the second option, since I though it's the "inquire more", followed by "choose either to help him or the wraiths". Too bad the guy got pissed, run off and get his ass killed.
Reloadan. The first option is actually the "gib XP" one: you have to lure the guy to the location, and decide there. It's like the ultimate "confront the witness with some stupid shit" technique from US police TV shows...
At least, the final explanation should be satisfacto...

The Fast Forward feature got borked at some point as well, no matter which time of the day you choose / how many hours you decide to FF, you will end up at some totally random hour:

Whatever. Let's kill some evil knights, hiding below the brothel:

Cockblocking follows. Killed the evil guy (Trout), completed the quest... Only to learn about it once more some quests later:

Fucking quest triggers, how do they work?



Finally, back to the main quest:

Sure thing I do, you spoiled the beans during our 1st conversation:

Oh, wait - not yet!

But don't worry - the guy continues with the "OK, you got them all - get this pha4t l00t and off you go" dialogue right after that.

Well, it happens in other games as well, I guess...



Brave Geralt crosses the Deadly Undead Mist [tm]. Well... During his second attempt, since during the 1st one the "quest destination" area got inaccessible somehow.

Reloaded, tried all other possible exits, then went back to the previous (most logical) one, and voila:

Fuck year, motherfucking fetch quest at last!

Playing Dark Sun Shattered Lands for the first time. I just slaughtered all the guards in the arena after fighting in the arena 3 times.

Here's my party

I made a Half-Elf Fighter/Preserver/Cleric, A half-giant Gladiator, A Mul Fighter/Druid/Thief, and a Thri-Kreen Fighter/Psionicist/Cleric

You maxed out your stats in character creation, didn't you?

I feel like LOTRO could be a pretty fun game, if I could only get into it and past the starting zone...

I mostly enjoy it because of the setting. I've had the account for 5 years and my max lvl character is 66 (out of 100) so yeah, I'm taking it p. slow. Sady it adopted WoW strategy where all the difficult content is at the end-game - I remember when I started playing there were plenty of dangerous areas that are a breeze to do now.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, it's made by former people can fly guys.

It's like Dear Esther, except there's actual shit to do. It's possible to play the game incorrectly (i.e., not solve the murders) at least I did 2/4 of the way through. Check it out when it goes on sale.

Guarding that computer was pain in the ass.

Slavsky ? Why not Slavomir ?

(...) mother Russia! It's time to show who is stronk.

Coward french soldier, never saw that coming.

Last boss was really easy compared to the rest.


After playing for the first time Gorky 17 I must admit that it's a good game, but it had some problems. First of all, the strange attack patterns, where you can't aim with a rifle in more directions than straight forward and diagonal. After some time I adapted to this system but it could be done better. Other weapons weren't that bad. Unlike, for example Fallout Tactics it's more of a puzzle game where you have some scarce resources to use and need to beat the enemies. Sometimes devs added something extra like a ticking bomb, so you need to keep moving and kill monsters quickly. Or, as I mentioned earlier, defend the computer station that can be destroyed by three attacks. It was kamikaze time. The plot, the music and the astmosphere reminded me of Resident Evil. But, unlike in the RE, the voice acting was way better. Nothing really amazing, but it worked well, and the varied, hideous looking mutants kept the whole thing interesting. The fire/poison/freezing mechanics were necessary to survive.

Overall:

It looks better in motion and without JPG artifacts.
