    Seriously, it's bullshit that all these FPS coming out down have slow mo. Give me more slow mo FPS.

    Severed Steel has slomo.

    And diving through the air

    And instead of reloading you grab guns from enemies.

    It's pretty cool. There was a demo, but I'm not sure if it's still available or if it was a time limited thing

    Ooooh, Derelikt looks good, I think I played that old Alien game...or at least some Alien shooter of that era

    Today I finished Ender Lilies, 100 % of achievements took me 24 hours.

    I liked it a lot! It is not as good as Hollow Knight, but it is still very good.

    One thing that Ender Lilies does better than HK is variety of builds - while in HK you only ever have your Nail, in EL you can "equip" several spirits with different modes of attacking and multiple secondary spirits with additional forms of attacks.

    It is also a fun concept that the main heroine is not attacking by herself, but the spirits she purifies during the story join her and protect her instead.

    Not to mention, soundtrack is pretty great!

    All in all, now I feel slightly empty inside, as one feels after finishing a good game / book / series.

    Misread, thought you were talking about Might&Magic (6-8) and was momentarily excited some dev finally decided to dip into that retro bucket.

    Alas. I'd never played those games before, but after watching a YouTube channel play 6 and seeing how it's meant to be played I grabbed it off GoG and spent like 50 hours in there last month. "What if first person Diablo, but with hand-crafted, devious dungeons and an optional turn based mode" scratched an itch I never knew needed scratching.

    I liked the Legend of Grimrock games fine, but moving on tiles just changes the combat fundamentally, and Wizardry 8's turnbased-only combat turns later-game encounters into a slog.

    I've been meaning to get around to Library of Ruina now that its story is finished and it's fully released. Mostly grabbed my interest because the opening Mili did for it is one of my favorite songs from the last few years.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofmYqXfjFs8

    Still haven't decided if I'm going to play through Lobotomy Corporation first; Library of Ruina is a sequel to it story-wise, but the gameplay of Lobotomy Corporation's like SCP management sim which is much less interesting to me.

    Library girl's character design is bizarrely reminiscent in both appearance and theme, someone must have been a fan. (not that I blame them, she is best girl)

    I've gotten really into games crit writing by Grace Benfell, lately. She has a great piece about how the Asari in Mass Effect are kinda wack, she has a really nuanced and moving essay about faith and community in Final Fantasy X. She rules.

    I started following her on Twitter, and she signal-boosted this incredible piece by Lotus. It's about Pathologic 2, it's about what it means to "civilize" a place, it's about how "civilization" interacts with indigenous people, it's about a lot of things. I really love it.

    Man, I could read about Pathologic 2, just, all the fuckin' time.

    Hey, thanks for boosting this. I had seen the Asari thing float across my media feed a couple times, but decided not to follow the link because the headline thesis was not that enticing, but I trust your opinion and the actual meat of the article was significantly more interesting than I had presumed.

    I've bookmarked the Pathalogic thing for later when I have more time, but thanks for the heads up.

    Library of Ruina might be the grindiest game to ever exist ever. Like, I was fine with the first three teams you unlock and BUT THERES NO END, THERES JUST SO MUCH GRINDING!

    Every chapter or so you unlock AN ENTIRELY NEW PARTY which means you gotta farm/grind to make that party viable half the time since characters start at level 1 oh and certain chapters require certain parties so the grind just never ends.

    Also, the hud/overlay/main menu is just a mess that it hurts to look at.

    I'm new to her work, but Benfell's pieces strike me as nuanced-enough that I'm not surprised the headline left something to be desired. If I hadn't been totally bowled over by her FFX essay, I'm not sure I would've checked it out.

    For some reason, I decided to get some achievements I was missing in Pillars of Eternity 2 despite how much I hate when achievements cause me to do stuff.

    The hardest so far was getting my crew to mutiny. Feeding them human flesh and giving them nothing to drink still took them a long time to mutiny

    I could probably have gone through the game with giving them nothing to eat and just coast off of morale boosts from winning battles at sea

    I still have not actually done a ship battle other than just boarding

    All the ship stuff is just so disconnected from the rest of the game like attacking ships not even hurting your reputation

    I like the ship battle system but honestly just ramming and boarding is probably still best, and I'll end up defaulting to it a lot

    Which kind of sucks, because I do like the ship battle system and it's not like those fights are ever going to be challenging or interesting once you've boarded

    I've literally just started watching an LP of Pathologic 2, after rewatching hbomberguy's Pathologic video. Hopefully I will remember to read that article after I'm done with the LP.

    They are games I like from a spectator position but I know I wouldn't get through if I tried to actually play them.

    Man while I like the idea of smaller scale games released for cheaper prices, Star Wars squadrons was just a little too unimpressive for me to stick with it. I got about 3 missions in and was just bored and the visuals weren’t good enough to keep me there. I get that it’s a multiplayer game, but I hoped the visuals would be enough to help me enjoy the campaign like battlefront, but it was just rough all round visually, very unimpressive

    Not to mention that I find all these types of games for me end up as “turning around” simulators.

    Additionally, the thing about Squadrons is that even as a turning around simulator it didn't actually feel very good to turn around

    I think I’m looking for something different to what the game wants. Like I want to recreate the feeling of the movies, which involve more cinematic dog fights where you’re following enemies on like a roller coaster with cool sights. Instead it just feels like turning around and around haphazardly. Like I’m sure it’s different for people who are really good at these games, and if they like it I’m happy for them, but I was definitely looking for something different than what the games offering

    Which is fine. However I can’t really forgive the naff looking explosions, it’s like come on, that’s what we’re all here to see and that’s the best you have?

    Just started playing this game and haven’t gotten past these two, I can never quite tell where I’m getting damaged from. Is there a specific strategy on who to target first? The bull seems the easiest to down but does doing that make Theseus harder or anything?
