    I've been replaying through Max Payne and this game is still great. I love the shady New York hotel levels and the abandoned feeling because of the snow storm. That nightmare level is still terrible though, but I got through it. Replaying this really makes me wish that those flashback levels in 3 were the whole game.

    In general, I'm realizing that I really just love this era of games from the late 90s/early 2000s when objects were blocky looking and they were just starting to get the 3D down. There's a weird charm to it that I really like. It was during this time too that I was really just getting into PC gaming. I'm thinking I might go through MP2 again next and even Deus Ex again now that I'm in this early 2000s gaming mood.

    May Payne was one of the first games I played on my first self-built PC. At that point, Max Payne 2 was already out, but I wanted to play through the first one before touching the sequel. I really enjoyed it, although performance really took a nosedive during the final sequence. It froze up a few times, but eventually recovered.

    I still have yet to play Max Payne 3.

    Yeah, I first played Max Payne when it came out on a machine that could handle it okay but with nothing much to spare performance-wise. That last sequence (I remember an elevator especially) clearly either had some sort of stupid issue or needed a machine at least twice as powerful as the rest of the game did, and was a slideshow. But still, I got through, and later replayed it on the original Xbox where performance was good and consistent. It was a brilliant game, and Max Payne 2 was at least as good if not more so. They do show their age now but they were pretty groundbreaking for the time.

    I too have yet to play Max Payne 3.

    I've played through MP3 and while it's a great game, it doesn't have the same awesome atmosphere that 1 and 2 had. Putting him in a tropical environment just felt weird. He has some flashbacks that take place in NYC though and honestly I thought those were the best levels in the game. I also feel like MP1 and 2 are due for some remasters.

    Mass Effect Andromeda. Sooo much fun. <3

    And then there's NieR waiting for me to get back to it after that.

    And then Toukiden 2.

    Prey will probably be out before I get through those.

    Then it'll be June and Morrowind will be in my hands.

    Also, never heard of Thimbleweed Park. :lol:

    Yeah, I recently did a Max Payne series replay, and I was surprised at how well those games held up. The first was mechanically the dodgier of the two, since it had some weird physics glitches likely owing to having more PC power than it was programmed to deal with; the second felt like a game that had at least heard of multi-core processors. Three still feels kind of superfluous and succumbs to some of modern gaming's bad habits, but I've come to like it all the same. It is damn fascinating to play games from vastly different eras that close together, in the same series no less.

    I'm actually replaying Deus Ex myself, using the Steam version of the Revision mod and having a blast (and made my own minor edit to it). The mod team put a respectable effort into spicing up each map, and integrating Shifter and such is a really nice touch. But more to the point, there is genuinely something special about games from that era; DX1 in particular is that rare combination of big in scope but focused and tightly designed. The level design and flexible gameplay complement each other well, and while there's a lot of worldbuilding in news articles, books, datacubes, etc., they do an excellent job keeping the main plot interesting and rolling at a steady clip.

    They really don't make 'em like this anymore.

    Terminal Velocity throws you a curve ball in the last chapter by introducing ground units that actually can hit you and air units which serve only as random health powerups and obstacles.

    This is a reversal from the first two chapters.

    Still fun.

    Another day, another Hidden Object game off the backlog.

    I've also been playing some twenty-year-old strip mahjong games and the Bloodborne expansion, but those aren't on Steam. I have provided mostly work-safe links for the curious.

    Anyway: Mythic Wonders: The Philosopher's Stone, the second HOG I've played in a row to incorporate the Philosopher's stone as the central MacGuffin, and CONSIDERABLY better than Dark Heritage: Guardians of Hope, which was the last one. It's another one of these developed by O2D and published by Artifex Mundi, and usually that means a certain lack of polish. I was quite pleasantly surprised to find otherwise.

    As is usual for these, it's set in a sort of vaguely Olde Timey version of the world, with telephones and passenger trains, and your plucky main character is off to rescue her uncle who has built a Stargate in his basement and gone through it. An actual Stargate, from the TV show, complete with DHD. Your pesky intellectual property laws mean nothing to these developers.

    Using these Stargates, you hop from Earth-themed world to Water-themed world to, look, if you can't guess the last two I'm not going to help you, solving hidden object scenes and collecting random doohickies which you will, in true adventure-game fashion, rub against every object you discover in hopes that THIS will be the thing to solve the newest puzzle.

    I'm making fun of the genre because I really do enjoy it; HOGs have a certain set of tropes that you see over and over again and you will either grow to love them or get sick of them. You also get used to some TERRIBLE English and rampant misspellings, but this game is quite polished on that front and I had no complaints about the writing or any of the item descriptions. There's also a nice mix of hidden object scenes - there are a few that are your standard Find Everything On This List, but others have you looking for silhouettes or "find 12 diamonds" etc.

    Anyway, eventually you come face to face with the mysterious guardian who is preventing you from rescuing your uncle. Dun dun dun.

    In the bonus adventure, which takes place in a flashback sequence to one of your own ancestors, you learn a lot more about where the mysterious guardian came from, and this is one of the few HOGs where I felt the bonus adventure really added enough to be worth playing.

    So if you've picked this up in a bundle, give it a whirl. If nothing else, you'll get a mess of really easy Steam achievements. :)

    I haven't played it, myself, but be aware that apparently there's a lot that the game does not tell you about its mechanics! I think some people in this forum might know of a guide that can better educate you.

    I've noted the game is more (annoyingly) disposed to the archer classes than other ones. I'm a Mystic Knight or whatever that's called at the moment, and I'm not at all hip on the bow classes. I mean, they're OK, but only just.

    Heyos, asking this here, 'cause it's a touch quicker to update.

    So, i ended up with Nier Automata on ps4, through unexpected good fortune. Am loving the game, and have ridden a moose. However, is there any kind of fast travel availabke? The save point in the resistance camp links me up to the Bunker, to which i have no particular desire to go. i need to be bopping from the desert to the amusement park to the forest village (and back. Many times, i imagine) to wrap up these early side-quests, and boy is it a hike on foot.

    Well you don't have to exactly force a griffin to the ground. They have nests you can track them to and then climb on to start stabbing the wings.

    I know their spawn locations (pre-dragon death), but they have a habit of grabbing a bison and then flying off before I can get a spell off or get to them. Are we talking "tracking" as in "carrying a stack and a half of mushrooms to pop as you run after them as they fly off"?

    Well you could but I don't think their nesting location ever changes when they respawn. Always wound up back in the same areas whether I climbed on them or tried running after them.

    So by nests do you mean where they spawn in the fields, or something else? Because the only "nest" I've seen is the one in Blue moon Tower. And they don't seem to use that anymore.

    I've noted the game is more (annoyingly) disposed to the archer classes than other ones. I'm a Mystic Knight or whatever that's called at the moment, and I'm not at all hip on the bow classes. I mean, they're OK, but only just.

    Well you don't have to exactly force a griffin to the ground. They have nests you can track them to and then climb on to start stabbing the wings.

    I know their spawn locations (pre-dragon death), but they have a habit of grabbing a bison and then flying off before I can get a spell off or get to them. Are we talking "tracking" as in "carrying a stack and a half of mushrooms to pop as you run after them as they fly off"?

    Well you could but I don't think their nesting location ever changes when they respawn. Always wound up back in the same areas whether I climbed on them or tried running after them.

    So by nests do you mean where they spawn in the fields, or something else? Because the only "nest" I've seen is the one in Blue moon Tower. And they don't seem to use that anymore.

    I assume the places they kept returning to are where they spawned in the field. It certainly was never the tower.

    Finally reached the end of Abyss odessy. I could grind out more levels, more monsters, more pages, and unlock that final character, but I'm putting it to rest for now.

    Damn fun and a pleasant break from all the European focus fantasy and monsters we get in most games.

    I enjoyed lord of the rings and D&D themed games, but everyone copying the setting over and over just diminishes the impact.

    I'm no longer excited when an orc bursts into the room, unless he's wearing a great hat.

    edit: Unlocked the secret level of Terminal velocity, whole lot of WTF?

    Decided to clear my wishlist this morning to start building it up again with games I actually wanted and strict rules.
    @Antoshka decided to "help".

    Thanks for Poly bridge!

    It's all gone now so no one else can "help".


    EDIT: Followed it up with "Space run galaxy" - a game that was never on my wishlist.
    IS THERE NO ESCAPE?!

    Just discovered I can buy some anime on steam now.

    They're only for streaming though but still cool.

    Unfortunately you can't gift them, which is really shit

    @Antoshka is a monster, confirmed.

    Starward Rogue in the face after I finished getting my wishlist to 31, which IS a prime number.

    Now to fly a mecha. Into doom. Over and over again.

    Terminal Velocity beaten.

    Got it from the 3d realms pack I was gifted so long ago.

    So that means all the 3d and 2.d duke nukem games, and terminal velocity are beaten.....oh so many more.

    I suppose I should fish out a disk now and install that (assuming my cd drive actually functions).
