Blackman Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 <p>As a colleague in the education sector, let me help you with that: <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Clarity" data-cite="Clarity" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="28397" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>[*]Witcher 3 - Had it and the expansions since release but never finished it. Not even met up with Ciri (if thats possible.. Im still spoiler free)<p> [*]Final Fantasy XV- On Chapter 3 and it feels so fetchquesty. '<em>I know your city is in ruins, but could you go across country and get me some tomatoes</em>'. I'm told that it gets much better once you get into the dungeons.</p><p> [*]Pillars Of Eternity - I've finished Act 1 and got the stronghold but nothing more.</p><p> [*]Torment : Tides Of Numernara - Loved Planescape and brought this but never played it.</p><p> [*]Skyrim Special Edition - I know, I know.. I usually get so sidetracked in this game that I've never finished the main quest.</p><p> [*]Fable Trilogy - I've completed 1&2 many times but never done much in 3. I have them all on XB1</p><p> </p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> * <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Witcher 3</span>: Truly the best game in recent years imo, at least if you like a great narrative and a lively world. Just push through with it. If you want the short version, don't do the monster quests, even though they are worth the time.</p><p> </p><p> * <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Pillars of Eternity</span>: I also dropped the game for a long time after Act 1, but it's definitaly worth picking up again. The game is not superlong. The hardest part is making sense of the story. Just enjoy the - kinda unique - story and put it on "easy" so you don't lose time.</p><p> </p><p> * <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Skyrim</span>: Really? REALLY? After all this time? I must say I'm guilty of not finishing the DLC even now. It's on my list for replay now that the mod updates have FINALLY cooled down.</p><p> </p><p> * FFXV: I said goodbye to this series after playing V & X. Got close but never finished one (I don't even remember so that says enough).</p><p> </p><p> * <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Torment</span>: Kickstarted but like you haven't started.</p><p> </p><p> * Fable: It was fun 10 years ago but let it go. It was a fun gimmicky series, nothing more imo.</p><p> </p><p> To throw another name in the bowl: I enjoyed Expeditions:Vikings this year. Sure you'll like it too. It was one of the only games I bought on release and truly enjoyed.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koholos Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 <p>So, I’ve been working on a top 5 games of 2017 for a podcast I host, (My cohost and I go from 2 top 5’s to 1 top 3), so I thought I’d drop it here along with a few other notes, and see what other people had for their Top 5/10.</p><p> </p><p> Top 5:</p><p> 5. <strong>Battle Chef Brigade </strong></p><p> Lots of fun. Art style is like... anime if drawn by the guy who did the Alice in Wonderland illustrations. And I love Iron Chef, Monster Hunter & Bejeweled, so this is right up my alley.</p><p> </p><p> 4. <strong>Morphblade</strong></p><p> Tom Francis made 2 games this year (Heat Signature being the other). This is the better of the two. It’s a roguelike where the board itself changes as you play, so it rewards forethought quite a bit.</p><p> </p><p> 3. <strong>Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</strong></p><p> Best 3D Zelda game, easily. But really hard for me to actually get into. I suspect most people here have already heard about it.</p><p> </p><p> 2. <strong>Hollow Knight</strong></p><p> 2D Dark Souls / Metroidvania with platforming and a Don Bluth like art style? Yes, please.</p><p> </p><p> 1. <strong>Neir: Automata</strong></p><p> I adore everything about this game. It looks gorgeous (both technically and aesthetically), the gameplay is fun, it has Bullet Hell elements, the music is superb, the story is a nice mix of Blade Runner, Ender’s Game and We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, and it has Bullet Hell elements.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Also, Lego Worlds seems to be what everyone wanted from No Man’s Sky. Plus it makes me feel like a kid again.</p><p> </p><p> TEW 16 was one of my most played games this year. NBA 2k16 as well.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put up a 26 part tutorial on game making at the same time as making Heat Signature and Morphblade (hell, Morphblade was just a side project when working on Heat Sig) He's up there with Mike Bithell as a cool british indie developer.

Alan James Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Good to go on steam and see some classics for £2 and £3. Even better because I didn't play Jade Empire back in the day. New experience and loving it. My monk character is possibly the strongest character I've controlled in a video game. Certainly feels that way. And that chapter 2 in Heaven.

milamber Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 <p>Bought Assassin's Creed: Origins (PC).

cappyboy Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 <p>I've kind of gone a different direction gaming wise since Christmas. Got two games for my PS4 under the tree. The Uncharted collection with remasters of the first three games and a little something known as Cat Quest. </p><p> </p><p> Yes. You read that right. Cat Quest. For those who haven't heard of the game, it's sort of a light RPG than focuses more on puns and humor than trying to be overly fancy or irrationally hard. Although there is a fair bit of challenge toward the end. Game might look childish to some and I can see a young child playing the early stages easily enough. </p><p> </p><p> But at the same time, I wouldn't recommend the end game to very young children at all. There are language and content concerns that I can envision the parents of kindergartners and children in lower grades having with the game. The game refers to stuff being "crappy" often enough that I could see young kids mimicking the game's usage in ways that parents would rather they not. And some story material could be too intense for younger minds. Like the Christmas quest that features twin Santas at war with each other over whether giving presents is appropriate behavior. To the point one goes rogue and ends up attacking you. </p><p> </p><p> For the more mature player, it could be a good break from the battle scarring of the Haloes and Calls Of Duty of the world. It was rather a quick complete as I finished the main storyline last night. Only like a couple weeks after starting it.And I will say the ending was a bit of a curveball. Although appropriately evil in the silly way the game has. Don't know how many here will appreciate Cat Quest's charms but I sure found it a worthy time killer.</p><p> </p><p> Worthy enough I've yet to delve all that deeply into Uncharted. And I worry how far I'll ultimately will get with that game. It made a mixed first impression on me and while I do want to give it a fair shot, I haven't been able to find any characters I liked enough to want to go back. I also have Transformers: Devastation I've been sitting on. So I figure I may dive into that before giving Nathan Drake and the Uncharted world its second look.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was just mashing buttons, really, as parrying didn't seem to work. I honestly don't think anyone at all complained about the controls of the standup. They were simplistic, perhaps, but isn't that what people want? If it works, don't change it? I hope they reverted to the original controls, as I've seen lots of negative feedback on their facebook (quite over-the-top as usual "now the game sucks" etc).</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
