Mamoulian War

I don’t know. When I was young, Street of Rage series was my absolute favourite beat em up, I am happy, that it got released, because the industry needs variety, but I somehow lack the enthusiasm to hit that buy button. It might be because of my crazy big backlog though 😛

The only one, which seems to be vanished with absolute zero info about its current state, which interests me, is Tales of Arise. But I doubt tabloid like IGN has any clue about that game. Not planning to give them my click, because I do not want to destroy my recommendations feed on YT, unless someone already seen it, and can confirm that they speak about it as well 😛

I’ve just finished the fourth level in Vaporum. The story slowly gave few new hints on who I might be, and the enemies are getting harder and harder. I’ve died a lot of time to them 😄 Also, there was one puzzle on which I got stuck little bit, due to me not seeing one pretty tricky hidden button 🙂 I love the game, just still feeling very rusty playing this kind of genre 😄

Also on GOG if you prefer this storefront more 🙂 https://www.gog.com/news/release_streets_of_rage_4

Sounds like that time, when COVID-19 was rampant on Earth...

Started to play Vaporum. Grid-Based RPG Dungeon Crawler, made in Slovakia. The game is pretty good. Better, than anticipated so far, but yeah, I think I am to old for this game 😄 sometimes, I just click on wrong buttons or die, because of slow reflexes 😄 Still, I love it 🙂 I went through first two levels yesterday on normal difficulty. The puzzles were so far pretty straightforward, and I was able to find all of the secrets. I picked up Thauge body-kit, or what was it's name 😄 It is something like Steampunk Mage class. But still a lot of melee is needed in it

New standalone expansion of Atom RPG in Soviet setting is comming to GOG soon. https://www.gog.com/news/coming_soon_atom_rpg_trudograd

Crank 3 confirmed? 😄

I purchased Vaporum right after I have found out, that the game was made by Slovakian company. Me loving grid based dungeon crawlers is a big plus 😛

I hope they'll do, I really liked the first two Shadowrun games. HK is still on my backlog though.

I am currently playing Safe at least some data out of computer which was tonight on fire (literally on fire, like burning, with real flmes) Thankfully it was not mine, but customers, unfortunally for them. All of that happened right after I spent more than 6 hours in last two days of applying mandatory updates over slow remote connection and another 4-6 hours of my colleagues work troubleshooting some stuff after the customer did some upgrades to its stuff at lab... Last backup, which did not get destroyed by fire is almost two years old. So now, after recovering all of the data, I’ll have to do everything, what I’ve done in the last two years again. The funny thing is, that there was only two PCs compatible with the customers specs in the whole country, thankfully both of them not scrapped yet. First one 2 hours away and the second one 4 hoirs away. And of course, the first one got damaged over the transport *insert Luke Skywalker Nooo! meme here* All in all, the customer contacted me at 7am, and because all of that **** hitting the fan, the first work on the recovery method could be started only around 6pm *cheers* (not really) Probably, I will have to spend whole weekend with rebuilding ****, because the lab can not perform their routine testing without this specific computer. Lucky me... /rant off EDIT: and that was posted to the completely wrong thread lol 😄 sorry guys, installation of the software is finally done 😄

Both Evil Within games released on GOG https://www.gog.com/news/the_evil_within_and_the_evil_within_2_are_here_and_75_off

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. Now you have even more opportunities to buy the loads of the spectacular microtransactions again!

It’s because of two pirate modules 🙂

Wing Commander is the best with the story. If you get over graphics and difficulty of 1 and 2 you get awesome storyline about war of Humans with Kilrathis. If not you can still start with 3, which are kind of decent in these time as well. Shame that Origin was butchered after 5, because they started new awesome storyline 😞 Then there is Descent Freespace 1 and 2, and Privateer 1 and 2. Also very good space sim was Starlancer, but i do really not know, if this one can be purchase anywhere. I’ve heard I-War was decent, but I have never played it myself. And as Keyrock said, the X series is good as well, but for me, it needs loads of time investment to enjoy nowadays. Maybe when I get my backlog little bit smaller, I’ll jump on it as well. All of them with the exception of Starlancer can be purchased on GOG very cheap in Sales.

I see, I had this encounter as well, it was Wael. There should be one more encounter after the final fight, which is the encounter in the same vein, but with Skaen, which should give you one more way how to handle all the souls.

Hmm, the video you posted related to Skaen is first video of whole playlist , so at 11:19, he was still in character creation 😛 I checked the last episode and the guy experienced same issue as me He was not approached by Skaen as well So he had only 5 out of 6 solutions unlocked in the final dialogue Anyway, many thanks about the recommendations, I do not plan to make anything of these feats anytime soon, and if planning to do them, I would like to go through that very fast, therefore my second playthrough will be definitely on story mode difficulty

The third game finished this year is the base game of Pillars of Eternity from GOG. I decided to go to the Burial Isle only after finishing every single quest I had in a journal. It took few hours and after that, I've descended into the Breith Eaman and Sun in Shadow areas and upscaled the encounters for final act. After few encounters with soul of Iovara ix Ensios, I've step in front of Thaos ix Arkannon and after a lengthy dialogue, the fight have started. Well my party and thier builds were not optimal, so I spent a lot bitching about how some of them dropped down few times during the fight 😛 . In the end, the biggest help for me was the summon of Concelhaut, which was hitting Thaos from distance, while Aloth and Devil of Caroc kept knocked out repeatedly 😛 . Before his final breath, he managed dow to knock out also Edér, but in the end, it was not enough for him to defeat the rest of my party. After the fight, I’ve released his soul back to the cycle, while keeping his memories, as an adequate punishment for his deeds. In the last step, I’ve returned back the souls to all of the Hollowborn children, as promised to Hylea. The endings I’ve got were mostly positive, with the exception of Sagani, which got lost in the blizzard, and Devil of Caroc, which got torn to pieces by angry villagers. All in all one of the best RPGs, I’ve played in the last few years, and can’t wait to jump into Deadfire with my final save. There are some questions which would be nice, if you can provide me some answers 😛 1) Skaen did not contact the Watcher with his offer after the fight with Thaos, are there any special prerequisites for him to turn up? I browsed few pages, but I was unable to find any clues. 2) I would like to have some recommendations for Zero Knockouts, Relative Pacifism and No Rest for the Pro achievements. I plan to make a quick run at the Story Mode difficulty some time during this or next year, and I would like to finish also some of the Companion Quests, and go for the "lawful good" type of character. Can you give me advice what to do and what not? 3) Also, at some point, I would like to try out The Ultimate achievement run, with evil character. The options are either Mage or Chanter, maybe, maybe Druid. Are there somewhere some depositories of hints for current version of the game. I found very good build and video of Mage run, but could not locate any advice on Druid. The Chanter which I found lacks the description of talents and skills and is using some kind of exploit, which I would like to avoid. Many thanks!

Well, With the speed SE is developing their games since PS3 era, you will probably not see the complete package before PS7 😛 so my educated guess will be, you still have 20+ years 😉

And now as a bonus you get white color so you can see almost all of your stains on it right from the first day of use

OK, so I met Llengrath, and I was able to get with her in peaceful terms Reward was new Skill with +1 to 3 attributes and Bog Dragon Scales 😛

I presume, there are heavy spoilers in it right?

I don’t think so. I have finished the main quests for both expansions, but I am still missing one last quest which came with WM2, so I think there might be this guy/creature at the end of this quest. The Phylactery one. Hopefully I’ll let you know in few days how that quest ends and if I met him there or not 😛 because I want to completely clear my quest log before going to Burial Isle again 😛

My second finished "game" this year is Pillars of Eternity: The White March – Part II expansion from GOG. I had to quest until hitting level 16 in vanilla parts of the game to be able to finish it. I have turned on the scaling for the second expansion, so some of the fights were really crazy hard. Anyway, I was able to give back the memory to Abydon, but I was not able to temper him during the conversation with the Eyeless. We'll see what impact it will have on the final ending of the game. I think I liked this part little bit more than the first one. Well with the exception of monk fights in some of the encounters. After that, I had still time to finish off the Alpine Dragon. The only dragon, with whom I was not able to talk out of the fight in my playthrough. Well, at least I have an achievement for that 😛
