Twinblade★ 3,892 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Tried Prey Mooncrash and while it has some neat ideas its got a lot of Roguelike/survival game elements that I find plain annoying and the reasons why I can't get into that type of game. In order for them to fit that format they also just straight up butcher some of the best stuff from the base game. For example, exploration is one of its strongest features but in Mooncrash they put an artificial timer on the runs so you can't poke around and explore too much or else the enemies will respawn and get stronger over time. Im sure people enjoyed that sense of urgency and if you're a fan of roguelikes there definitely seems to be a lot to like here, but im not really among them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I think the base game is great but the DLC leaves something to be desired so far. I definitely see the ideas within it that inspired Deathloop and that stuff probably does get more engaging as it all comes together later on, but the beginning is a bit rough.

It sounds brutal! i’ve been close to dying numerous times but the difficulty is reasonable so far. It has an interesting mechanic where you absorb an enemy if you parry their attack and can then heal most of your life after doing that a few times in a row. I’ve been able to do that to save myself (the parry window for the beginning enemies is pretty generous). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I liked the vibe of the game but the movement and combat was too floaty for my liking, it felt like there was no weight to any of your actions which made it unsatisfying to play.

I'm surprise you say that. I really like it so far. Yes it's true there's no weight to the character but the gameplay is still pretty smooth and responsive so I have no problem with that.

Twinblade★ 3,892 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Grime is legitimately one of the best Souls-like games i've played 2D or 3D. So many neat mechanics in this game and it just feels good to play. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The patterns aren't hard to learn but I don't have a lot of patience these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The game tries to be difficult and unforgiving except the controls aren't responsive and tight enough to match that so It comes off as annoying more than anything else.

It is responsive you don't like how it feels. It's not quite the same. The dodge works really well, tons of invincibility frames and can cancel any animations. Whatever, like I said, I just don't have much patience anymore, I'm drowning in homework, I've got better things to do than getting stuck on a boss in a video game.

Twinblade★ 3,892 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 ugh, im pretty sure I just ran into a game breaking bug in Grime. Im stuck in a part of the game where a platform im supposed to move isn't behaving correctly so I can't progress to the next area. Oddly enough I looked up a walkthrough and the level layout is actually different in the walkthrough than in the version of the game im playing I wonder if im somehow playing an older build thats bugged or something. Very frustrating as I was really having a good time with the game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But im really not sure why the level design is a bit different in my build. I think I remember reading something about an outdated build of an indie game was accidentally released on the EGS store. Thats where I bought Grime, so maybe this has a similar issue. I guess that might be a risk of buying something on EGS, there's probably not as much effort into making sure the latest builds are properly uploaded and managed on it compared to steam.

Mr. House 3,371 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I'm playing a RPG that resemble old classic Fallout games called Encased and it's fucking amazing. The attention to details is phenomenal, just about anything you do has some sort of impact or consequence and they are always a dozen different possibilities on how you want to approach a situation. I think I found my next RPG obsession. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hot Sauce 2,727 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 540/559 cars in Horizon 5. 11 are purchasable (only 25.4 million to buy them all ) and another 5 are available in the current series. I missed out on the Aventador SVJ so I imagine that will be the car that cockblocks me from collecting all the cars for awhile. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
