also I've always enjoyed how in videogames you can use a Warhammer to cave someone's skull in, but because it isn't an edged weapon, it will never be lethal
Except, it has an edge

For a good long while, the polehammer in Mount and Blade was a couchable weapon. It was very useful for prisoner farming, because apparently getting hit in the head by a cinderblock-sized stone hammer with the full weight of a galloping horse behind it is just enough to knock you unconscious.
I think you can still do the same thing with the jousting lance, but the visuals aren't as hilarious.
My guess is definitely quake. Fantasy and sci-fi, which a new quake game could have easily. Also they just released the quake remaster which was probably an indication of where their heads at

I had a plan to play a bunch of different horror games today, but instead put 8 hours into Mundaun. I just couldn't stop until I finished it. A walking sim with some survival horror and light puzzling. Also goat petting, coffee drinking, and cozy afternoon drives with friends. Highly recommend it.

Now that I'm between games I was looking forward to for a bit and in the mood for something big and RPG-y, I've been digging into Horizon after playing it at PC release and wanting it to have a bit more time in the oven.

Hey, turns out that game's pretty good!

My current game of Surviving Mars is the longest I've ever stuck with one. I have two domes, one full of geologists pumping out metal for export and the other I'm filling with scientists and farmers. I have enough money coming in to support my colony and now I can start trying to get manufacturing going so I can stop relying on imports. I've survived multiple disasters and I have just got my first patches of green starting to appear for terraforming.
It's going very well and as a result I'm extremely stressed. Progressing in games like this always feels like stacking up an ever taller pile of plates.

Finally getting into The Forgotten City and I'm definitely intrigued so far. For people that have played it, how did you feel about the markers painting exact objective locations? Did it cut out the cruft or make it feel too easy? I think there's a setting for it but I've left it on for the moment.
I’m about to play that and I’m definitely going for markers, I’m bad at puzzles and figuring stuff out I just want story, point me to the story game
Also playing dark souls 3 and look I’ll accept all kinds of unfair bullshit, but the fact that you can lock into a behind finisher move but the enemy doesn’t get grabbed, leaving you open for attack because you’re doing a locked in finisher move on thin air, that’s just garbage. It’s happened to me like a dozen times over the course of playing the game. Like that’s not my mistake, that’s the game.

I'm assuming this is happening when you try and backstab invading players? Latency is a real shit sometimes, yeah.
e: Oh huh, I'm looking this up and it turns out you can whiff a backstab on regular enemies too if they iframe out of it? That's wild, I don't think I've ever experienced that.

So Spire of Sorcery
man, what a disappointment
I first heard of that game when it was in development as a "mage tower" sim - send your acolytes out to gather resources or do research or delve into arcane ruins while you fend off attacks by the anti-magic inquisition and unlock the secrets of immortality
Since then the game's development has been rebooted twice, and now it's a sort of FTL esque rogue-lite with basically no RPG/management elements
I am so goddamn disheartened by this, the original premise had huge promise and was fully capitalizing on an untapped niche, and now it's "just another one of those" with a somewhat above par art style

Yeah this is against regular enemies, it’s definitely just the game stuffing up the connection of the animation to the enemy
Also I know they’re a relatively small company, but dear god I hope the dark souls guys figure out human bodies for dark souls 4. Is it like a tradition now that the player character looks like it’s from a badly made 2005 game no matter what you do to try and fix it
Also ffs I killed this bot phantom invader or whatever but he keeps coming back. And it’s a heaps bullshit one, like he doesn’t get hit properly and lags, but it’s not a player

There's an ancient budget DOS game called Dominus that sounds pretty up your alley for that description. It's a pseudo-rts kingdom management sim where you are the overlord of a kingdom being invaded by eight monster clans and you do a lot of what you're talking about - have your generals gather resources and perform tasks while you construct traps, mix spells and craft monsters to defeat each clan and secure your realm.
It's definitely got a lot of that 90s budget jank and has quite a learning curve even with the manual, but I had some good fun with it back in the day.

I'm pretty sure in 2 and 3 whiffing is a deliberate mechanic to make backstabs less free.

Forza Horizon 5 is already installed, WAITING for the 9th.
Can't wait. I stopped playing FH4 because 5 was coming out so soon after I discovered the series (was never into racing games) and I didn't want to burn myself out.

So I attempted to play Dragon Age Origins twice, and both times ran out of steam because it was just dragging on and the world felt pretty bland and eh.
Dragon Age II is ostensibly not good. Could I jump into Inquisition without much prior knowledge and have a good time?

the demo was really good
never seen a game quite like this one, sort of a reverse hidden object game? where the narrative is exclusively told with environmental story telling?
definitely going to give it a try tomorrow
