Mamoulian War

Surprising and awesome news. I played hours upon hours of Renegade in local LAN caffe, and it was very good game. The only issue was, that you really needed more than 8 people to fully enjoy all the elements, which was rare. Because CS1.6 completely overshadowed this little gem...

I would first finish, what i’ve started. But looking away from that, from this list Baldur’s Gate, Drakensang or Pathfinder would be my choice.

Unreal Tournament Classic, Unreal Tournament 2004 and Unreal 2: The Awakening purchased on GOG during the current sale

John Woo's Stranglehold and Plagues Tale released today on GOG 😮

I can’t find any decent guides, can you give me an advice how to sue for peace in this game? I just do not know how to get any other response than rejection of the treaty.

You forgot the third reason. The over the top telemetry

Thankfully these two games are still not available on GOG, so I should be fine

Aaaand Celestian Tales: Old North – Howl of the Ravager, DLC prequel to the original game, is finished. The gameplay is the same, but you play as one of the young lords of Old North, introduced in the base game. It's little bit shorter, but last two areas were for me tedious, which little bit worsened my impressions. The next one will be either another run of Tales of Symphonia (I want to get the crazy Gung Ho! title for Lloyd) or finally Pillars of Eternity. Or something completely different, maybe another Paradox game... I don't know 😛My backlog is thankfully little bit stale at the moment, stopped to grow, but sometimes I am to indecisive to pick what to play next *rolls eyes* .

Well, to generate uproar about some product, there must be a demand for said product, and from what I've noticed, the current demand for Stadia is as big as demand for cold beer in Mekka during Hadjdj

I purchased another Paradox grand strategy on GOG, which I completely missed in history. Sengoku, a game made between EU:Rome and CK2, which is based in Japan, and about which I have not heard before this weekend

And I have started today the DLC for the Celestian Tales: Old North called the Howl of the Ravager. It is prequel to the game, which is story about one of the biggest heroes of the land. So far little bit easier than the main game, two hours, three boss fights. And I've encountered one glitch, with which I have ended up in the walls of one mansion, and because I forgot to save, I lost 30 minutes of progress 😛 Still having enough fun to like the DLC as well.

Richard Lewis won the Esport Journalist of the year award, and his speech will probably be remebered for a looong time 😄

I would recommend you Stasis and Cayne for point and clicking If you are into horrors and you are not bothered by some "unpleasant" gory stuff. Stasis was free on GOG. Cayne still is. It took me around 14 hours to get through both of them. If you are not sure, if that could be your cup of tea, feel free to check my YT channel in my signature (yes, yes, shameless self-promotion ) If you are more into comedy, I would recommend Deponia series. Or if you are active on GOG forums, there is in one giveaway 3 copies of Whispered World Special Edition, which are still not not taken for more than 3 or 4 months. https://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_community_giveaway_gog_edition_redux/page1

Also, I have finished story of Reynard de la Foret in Celestian Tales: Old North as my first playthrough of this game. It's short (around 10 hours long) but enjoyable game in a style of JRPG, which has some interesting plot twists for player to experience. The most surprising thing for me was, that it is one of very few games, where you do not play the hero, which has to save the world, but you play a squire, who with other pupils, helps the big generals with small tasks in the background of the comming war against a threat from The North. The game has also a prequel DLC, which is story about one of these big generals, how he became the big hero.

Because I for some reason always prefer to play caster classes in all of my computer games as main characters, I have tried this also for Souls Games, but because of the achievements, I have later made my character more into hybrid class. Pure caster is very, very viable in Demon's Souls, if you have time and will to farm spices I have combined it with Moon Flachion when I needed mana regeneration, and pretty good in Dark Souls 1, but IMO, because of the limited number of spells you can learn. I have combined it with high dexterity, to be able to wield Uchigatana, because of its bleeding property. But there are some crazy glass cannon builds for experts, which I've never tried which can almost one-shot everything.

Wait! That's ILLEGAL!!!

Started to play Celestian Tales: Old North few days ago, and moved forward little bit with the story. Normal difficulty is pretty fine for the "story" mode. Not to hard, some times little bit easy, but OK for following the story. I am enjoying it so far, we'll see how it will move forward later

Behold Xboxers, the best open world games are coming to your consoles as well 😉 https://www.siliconera.com/2019/11/14/yakuza-xbox-one-adventures-will-begin-with-yakuza-0-kiwami-and-kiwami-2/

You never know, maybe they will take inspiration from their latest release and name it TESLXXVI

I see. Anyway, there are only three games, which picked my curiosity during this years many shows (which I start to ignore more and more, because all I can see in them, is the promotion of under-age gambling and consumer milking): Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza 7 and Tales of Arise. All of them are coming to current gen stuff as well. CP77 and ToArise will be ported for next gen probably as well. All the other games, which are supposedly coming to PS5 as well, were complete snorefest for me *shrughs* therefore even if I am purchasing completely new games, it is most likely either Indie or Japanese. And still I consider OBS still somewhat Indie developer as well. A game, which has casino elements in game, is for me a big NO, even if I am hyped for that game. Matter of principle. There are enough good games coming to PS4 and PS5 in next years without these anti-consumer practices implemented.

I have aprox 100 quality games on backlog, my hype for next gen console or new PC is at all time low atm *shrugs*

Mortal Kombat on Stadia? I am really curious, how that ends up. I am complete noob with that game, but whenever I had bigger latency than 50ms, in any MK game ever played online, it was completely unplayable for me...

In the weekly sale on GOG, I have purchased Celestial Tales: Old North indie JRPG including all the DLCs. I wanted to buy this one looooong time ago, so after my latest Indie excitement, I decided to give another Indie developer a chance

Another game from Stasis universe finished today: CAYNE: Deluxe Edition. It was as good as previous, although much shorter. The puzzles were less complicated, although few of them gave me headaches, while trying to solve them . The ending was this time much more predictable, but it did not spoiled my enjoyment of the game.

If you are still wondering, why D4 will have microtransactions, and if it will be 76ed or not... my guess, they will be 😞 https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-11-07-activision-blizzard-sees-slumping-sales-sliding-engagement
