Picture of Your Games the 16th

[Hawke64]

Sekiro

The boss did not die on this kick.

Mixed feelings about killing running monkeys in robes.

As expected.

Looks safe.

I do dislike this mini-boss, but a Prayer Bead is a Prayer Bead.

Took some time.

And this is where I am not going.

Late-game spoilers

Spoiler

Though, probably should have Deathblow'ed first and talked later.

Should not have talked.

And I took it to heart and modded the game some time later (from the battle against Owl at the Hirata estate).

The undead bull was hostile.

End-game and ending spoilers

Spoiler

Gifts are usually voluntary.

Juzou, the fourth encounter.

A true shinobi execution.

Skin mods. Raiden did not feel right, but looked nice.

Arisen - Subtitle I Forgot

Magical invisible gloves.

Got the "Charisma" card after repeatedly choosing "Attack". I guess, being aggressive is charismatic.

A whole 1 option.

Lunacid

Sounds easy enough. Just need to comb several floors of the dungeons.

The save point is on the right.

The fire was slightly damaging the horse heads.

typos and formatting.

Arisen

I do not think that she has a belt.

I suppose, there is 1 outdoors background, which works for any time of day and any crowd density.

The NPC does have a no-armour sprite, but neither is a robe.

If I understand correctly, the game was written in French, then translated into English.

At that point, I had seen Baeli once and was not aware that he had any family.

"Your village was called Tosh'Seruc. It stood at the frontier between Pointe Benie and Tosh'Seruc".

Lunacid

Defeated the Abyssal Demon.

Discovered that there it is possible to behead a zombie.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider

Felt weird to see both NPCs I killed in my playthroughs. Mass Effect it is not.

Accidentally jumped into the ring.

Playing around a bit with character ideas in Guild Wars 2... the new expansion gave the players "player housing". Never mind that you can decorate it, but it's permanent daylight, so nice when taking character screenshots (rather than having to hunt locations depending on the time of the ingame day)

 

A claymore wielding "highlander". Insert Queen's Princes of the Universe sound track

 

A dark elf assassin, wielding two daggers and two pointy ears...

 

A hammer wielding berserker. No skull is too thick.

 

I'll try to take a few shots from the new expansion maps during the week. They really are gorgeous. Soundtrack is nice too

Wait, what? Did they add an Elf race while I wasn't looking? (which has been an expansion or two, mind...)

Don't worry. She's a human. They added a "helmet" that gives your character elf ears (using the characters skin tone for colour). Can be used by all 5 races (looks a bit funny on the Charr)

My "dark elf" is just a bit of creative use of the colour palettes and dyes as well as the pointy ear head gear.

[LadyCrimson]

Spot the zombie.

 

Non-zombie animals don't like zombies. You'll see them duking it out here and there.

 

When in stealth/crouched, you get to see where zombies spawn in to prep for dropping down on your head. Stealth foils that. Hah.

 

Funny clipping. They spawned that way (they are "alive"/would stand up if I'm detected - but looks like the bricks fell on their heads.

Moonscars

The screenshots cover the full game. It is gorgeous. I will add spoiler tags.

I guess, it reminded me of Soma.

Spoiler

The lore NPC. As it is the only member of the Moon Clergy I came across, I cannot tell whether it is her personal opinion or of the Churn of the Moon.

Well, he asked for it.

Spoiler

The reasonable response in this situation would be to attack first and ask questions later.

What could possibly go wrong.

Spoiler

Sympathy is the right word.

Spoiler

I don't think it will help them.

A major spoiler.

Spoiler

 

Side quests' endings.

Spoiler

Final battle and the ending.

Spoiler

It is never "no choice". Just the other option seemed worse to the one making it.

Double post after struggling to save the first one.

[HoonDing]

I retired Bruce and made a female character for NG+3

unfortunately I ended up in an "alternative" universe

[melkathi]

Should have called this character Bruce as well. The real Bruce would have gotten a giggle out of that.

[HoonDing]

with a certain power you can traipse around pressure cooker planets with no spacesuit

but apparently still not upgraded enough for 100% protection which is annoying

 

[HoonDing]

[Hawke64]

Lunacid

So close and so far.

Spoiler

Found a mimic.

Spoiler

I was trying to shake off the giant skeleton. The thing clipped through the walls.

A very suspicious wall.

The rats won.

Dustborn (demo)

The combat is not good and the controls are not fully rebindable (presets for keyboard layouts available). The rest is fine.

[Hawke64]

1000xResist

The dialogue "options" can be funny. 

The guilt-trip does not really work with linear experiences - no choice, no responsibility.

Some scenes looked really good.

In case it was unclear what the game was about.

There is a plot twist in the middle, so these screenshots are somewhat spoilers.

Spoiler

The spoken lines are very polite.

After choosing the "Wait" option several times. It is what it looks like.

Considering that the Shells (the low-status clones) were docile and the Sisters (the high level clones) were the MC's friends, what "pressure" she could be talking about? This is probably one point where the in-game events do not make sense without the OOC context.

And the only way involves Deus Ex Machina.

The only one timed action sequence. The timer is generous and I got lost on the first "island".

Ending, so obviously spoilers.

Spoiler

Well, trying to play everyone also means pissing everyone off.

 

[HoonDing]

[melkathi]

Yeah,

first screen when starting a new campaign is not overwhelming at all.

[HoonDing]

[Hawke64]

Tails of Iron

I cannot tell whether the story is meant to be taken at the face value (a young monarch saving his land from very evil invaders) or not.

The first death.

The bard was barding.

End-/post-game.

Spoiler

Heavy spoilers.

[Sven_]

Never thought that would ever be the case way back in 1999, when I was spending on GPUs, CPUs, sound cards and Gaming's Next Visual Blockbusters like there'd be no tomorrow... or 2024. But all I actually need in 2024 are apparently pixels (Drova - Forsaken Kin). Earlier this year, there was SKALD too, after all.
