I'm still waiting for sonic to play Child of Light. I'll boycott the forum until he does

That sounds like a lot of work.

You'd think a big, modern title like that would have screenshots...

Sometimes I connect an XBOX controller just to use the screenshot/video feature even while playing with mouse+keyboard.

When the tutorial NPC tells you that they haven't done this before:

You are all heretics. There is no CIV. There is only SMAC.

I was mostly going through the discovery queues to see if I could get one without hentai games. Record was two queues in a row.

I didn't buy anything

Finally two gates close enough to get a single screenshot of the party both entering and exiting gateways: Now at Normal difficulty my party feels more heroic (where heroic is measured by ability to butcher troops)

Picked up my Spellforce 3 playthrough again. Hated the map I had been stuck on. Still hate it. Checked difficulty settings and dropped to Normal. Suddenly it became a lot more manageable

Yes, if you go heavily into stealth, Dux, Selma and Farrow can clear most of the map. Then you swap in Borman and Magnus for clean up for the larger fights. I think my toughest fight was Lux.

I found combat to be getting a bit easy after a while. At least against mechanical enemies as Farrow had a very high chance to stun them on hit.

You are a bit like a lawyer. For the loan shark you kill for money. Then, every now and then you kill pro bono.

Phew ! Good to hear I got the recommendation right

Meeting the Bane of Kree with Torian Kel in my party. Also what Epaminondas said. Following up on that: dying in the siege tower. Celes waking up alone in FFVI.

Finished Mutant Year Zero. Took 24 hours according to Steam, on very hard difficulty and not Ironman. Mind you that is with my playstyle though, meaning a lot of re-loading to get every map perfectly done and figure out the best approach to every encounter; I see games like this more like a puzzle. It is about as long as the story could be. There are no random maps or encounters - everything is the way it is. Some maps are optional. Would you enjoy it? Probably if you are named Hurlshot

Great, now I want an XCOM type Dune game. Or a Dune reskin of XCOM 2. Leading a group of Fremen, Smuggler and Atreides survivors in an insurgency against Houses Harkonnen, Corrino, the Sardaukar, Bene Gesserit, Bene Tleilax... Are you happy now? Proud of what you have done?

Nice thing in Mutant Year Zero is that you can freely swap party members while not in combat. No need to run back to town.

Bah. Got my fourth character in Mutant Year Zero (starting 2 plus 2 that joined in the story). Now comes that annoying part of party based games where I have to decide who to leave at home as the game has a three character party.

It redefines simple.

I loved 2070. Felt indifferent about the new one. Need to remind myself that I am playing Mutant Year Zero on very hard. It seems unfair and unnecessary difficult at times, but I forget I am not playing on normal. Then again, if there are only three difficulties (normal, hard, very hard) then normal is easy. And if there is a note that very hard is the intended experience, then the game should be balanced around that. I feel that ironman was just added on for the xcom crowd without the game designed for it. All enemies can pretty much two shot any of my team, while it takes three shots with at least one crit to take out an enemy. Yes, it forces you to scout and stealth and try to kill opponents one at a time from the shadows, but it also means that any missed shot is doubly annoying. Especially when you are facing tougher enemies with armour, health, AoE attacks that don't miss, and some sidekicks on top of that, who you can't isolate. Memo to self: remember to learn to properly use smoke grenades.
