EXPLOSIONS!!!! Just Cause 3. Awesome sandbox world, terrible story missions. EXPLOSIONS!!!!

Current rotation is Clive Barker's Undying, Divinity 2, and Elder Scrolls Online. Added Undying to the mix since I had apparently tried it out 2 months ago already and I liked what I saw. Also wanted a FPS, and I got bored with F.E.A.R. so I stopped playing that game.

Still Sudden Strike Gold. The game definitely requires a ton of patience. Rushing each position will quickly massacre your forces to the point that it will effectively be impossible to beat the level. Instead you need to prepare defensive positions and do tons of careful scouting with your snipers and officers. After 2 exhaustingly long levels I do find myself wishing for a bit more tactical depth in approaching an enemy position. Perhaps its time to check out Blitzkrieg again. Or Company of heroes.

Also quickly tried out Emergency 2 again by downloading the demo that's still available online. The game doesn't appear to be available online anywhere, not legally at least. It's a great idea for a game that's pulled off very well, except for the clunky controls. The first mission is a car/train wreck. To beat the level you have to dispatch 2 ambulances and a fire engine and give their crew the appropriate orders at the accident site to free and safely transport the patients to a hospital. The 2nd mission is more involved: gas explosion with injured inside and outside two burning buildings along with nosy onlookers that get in the way (dispatch police to disperse them).

In the process of playing Lands of Lore on my PC and Donkey Kong Country on the SNES

Replaying Dust: An Elysian Tail, on Hardcore difficulty. This can be quite difficult, with the hardest parts being the later part of chapter 2 (those poison-throwing bulbs are not fair) and the early part of chapter 3. The game gets easier later, with chapter 3's enemies remaining constant strength as you get stronger, chapter 4 giving you rings that drastically boost the Fidget stat, and a pendant early in chapter 5 that doubles your defense when warn, making it unlikely that an enemy would be strong enough to one hit kill you (which is a major problem earlier on Hardcore difficulty).

I'm working on getting the last of the 120 stars in Super Mario Galaxy. I know once you get those, it unlocks Luigi mode and you have to get all the stars again to get the True Ending. I'll work on that later because I think I'll need a breather for a bit. Not to say that it isn't a wonderful game, because it is. Definitely an improvement on Sunshine.

In a TANK craze... World of Tanks ps4 got my attention quite much; i barely touched the pc version last weeks; not my thing too much fps aim based unlike the more arcadeish console one; tough i prefere the pc artillery, more strategic map infos and xvm mod. Trying to dl Armored warfare and War thunder lately but limited speed at 200 kb/s will take days for each of those 30+ gbs...

The first Avadon game. Man I love Jeff's games.

Rezrog, so far it's not bad, only touched the surface....i hope :P
Managed to get all the character thru the first dungeon, breakout the champagne.
Bit of a struggle with the mage but all the other chr got thru with flying colours.
Could be the random RNG spin at the start of the level did for the mage, think it was the only one that got the "enemies are stronger" blah blah, glugged down all the health potions on that run.
At the start of a dungeon a wheel spins and a random event is bestowed upon you.
" all potions are 20% more potent etc...." only hit one negative one so far, it adds flavour.
Some may not like it, there isn't a option to turn it off, so you are stuck with it.
Sold the junk picked up by the first lot of chr and made the last players first attempt, in my case the rogue much simpler.
Starting him with both extra potions and ok armour and naff hat to match, pretty good starting daggers.
I wasted the starting gold, a unhealthy dose of curiosity and annoyance, the need to blow the gold on reloading the shop sellers inventory, cuz you know that last dagger just wasn't great and all :P
Sheesh that kills your horde of gold off quickly. He does need a better hat, never did get one, got a beanie that frankly makes him look like a bin man. Next lot of gold the hat goes.
Love the art style, music is not my type, tbh it got turned down it grates after a bit, the text is tiny in some places on things like weapon/armour stats. Light coloured text on a screen made to look like old parchment is rubbish.
Coloured luminous bright green text doesn't help none either, but other than a few niggles so far so good.
Well worth the money, more my thing that the last purchase, oh and the load times seem slow, or i'm impatient :/

i buyed Quest for Glory

now to me is very fun and i remember my child time

Some updates:

Wolfenstein: The New Order (2nd playthrough on Uber) - Mid-way through the moon level

Diablo 2 - Finally beat Diablo for the first time(on single player)! On to the first mission of the LOD Expansion (also never beat on single player before).

Saints Row 4 (Free weekend on steam) - Not enjoying the game as much as I did with the 3rd game and is running like crap on my computer for some reason. Not going to buy.

Grand Theft Auto 5 - Got done with my first heist and got Trevor playable, really enjoying the game right now.

Overwatch - Playing on the PTR at the moment; really like the new Team Death Match, the regular Death Match is eh so-so for me.

World of Warships - Suprisingly I bought some port slots for my ships.. Never thought I would put money into a "Freemium" game before. Lost countless hours so far into the game.

Waiting for the Call of Juarez Gunslinger to go on sale(played demo), been in the mood for a good western game on pc(I cry for Red Dead).

I decided to do a new playthrough of The Secret of Monkey Island. It shouldn't take long, since I almost know the game by heart. It will also be the first time I play in English, and I have already noticed some of the jokes make more sense (looking at you, red herring).

DOTA 2

Well, sorta. It was all over the news here that a 22 years old Finnish guy (Lasse Urpalainen) won 10 million dollars with his team (Team Liquid) by winning some important DOTA 2 event in the US.

So I finally decided to install the game on Steam, at least to educate myself better what kind of game it really is. After all, it is free-to-play so it doesn't cost anything to check it out.

I played the basic tutorial a bit, not sure yet what to think about it. While the main concept seems simple (destroy the enemy base and prevent the enemy from doing the same to your base), it seems there's a lot to learn already in the amount of different upgrades you can buy from the in-game "store".

The was the term "RTS" all over the description, but at least it is missing any resource gathering and base building I guess, and at least the first tutorial's objectives seemed very simple, just try to proceed to the enemy base and destroy it, by following the "creeps" that also try to attack it continuously. Apparently the only unit you control in this "RTS" is your own hero unit, all those creep units do everything automatically?

I'm not hooked at least yet, but I guess I will try to complete at least the tutorials.

I tried to play some more of Doom 2016 tonight and I think I'm going to call it quits. It's not that it's a horrible game or anything, but the pacing of the game just ruins it for me. Too many longer sections with not much happening, and if one even at all bothers to hunt for pickups and secrets for "upgrades" it becomes a ridiculous slow slog. The action isn't bad once things rev up, but with these constant dips in between it just kills it. It should have been a lot more balls-to-the-wall action. Not to mention all the silly jumping sections, a mediocre story that's just there for "reasons", and a really lackluster multiplayer mode noone could give two shits about.

Yeah, I don't get why people think it's so great. I'm having a lot more fun with the likes of Brutal Doom 64 and other classic Doom mods such as the Japanese Community Project. *shrug* Oh well. Guess that means I can replay Wolfenstein: TNO now, which is my favorite FPS of recent years along with the Metros, which I played again not so long ago.
