CarrionCrow: ;)
By your list, you've only got 215 games right now. Even after clearing your list you'll be under 250.
We need to get your total up to at least 4 to 5 hundred. -laughs-
moonshineshadow: That is not completely correct, the library counts the gog galaxy alpha client as game so it is only 214 :D
Good point. ;)
Only 214 then, that's even worse! -laughs-
toxicTom: My wife has her best friend visiting her - perfect gaming time. But...
I think I'm just too tired.
Gave Train Fever a shot (thanks DD!). It brings my machine to the limit if I tilt the view. Looking nearly straight down it runs perfectly in the highest detail mode. Zoomed out and tilting the view looking over the land it turns fps into spf. Not that this kind of view of useful in the game anyway, and I really have to update my rig this year also (more RAM and new graphics card, my ATI 5770 barely manages Ether One...).
First impressions of Train Fever (barring the technical issues): It's just the eye-candy update for (Open) Transport Tycoon (Deluxe) I've always hoped for. It has that model railroad feeling that is utterly fascinating. I especially like that it starts with horse carriages on the road (without rail) side of things. Definitely a game I hope my kids will love.
Then I tried Hotline Miami (the first). I had started it recently (and pretty drunk). Now I played it again from the beginning. May the alcohol have played it's part the last time to entrance me, may it be that I'm just too tired tonight - last time I definitely had more success. Tonight I didn't even manage to clear the second floor of the prologue...
I then started to continue my playthrough of F.E.A.R., a game that I started a while ago. And while I didn't have any real problems, I just didn't click with me tonight. That's the first time - I think this game has a very good flow - alternating between quiet, mysterious passages and frantic firefights. Tonight the mysterious just didn't come across, and the the firefights felt like it could do them with eyes closed and hands tied behind my back (strange after the HM disaster).
You're being too hard on yourself.
Hotline Miami is an entirely different animal from FEAR.
In FEAR, you can actually get hit more than once, for starters. -laughs-
Getting the combo of movement, weapon range and targeting down for Hotline takes a while.
I beat the first one, I've been doing the second, and I routinely get killed.
Doing a section where I'm Tony the one punch murder tiger, and I think I've died at least 50 times on that section alone.
