Just finished Day of the Tentacle in one sitting.

Holy shit The Witcher 3 is confusing, I don't know what to hell to do in this game.

Yeah, that's how I felt. It takes a good... 7-8 hours before you get used to it. But just ignore all the info they dump on you to begin with and if there's anything you're in doubt about look it up online.

Too many beers last night. I recant my entire life ;)

If I was you I'd start out by doing all the secondary quests you might find scattered around the world. Visit towns and grab all the quests you can find on the bulletin boards. They'll ease you into the combat. But be careful not to start a mission that is way too difficult, because then you're fucked. I started a mission called "The Red Baron" way too early, which meant I had to load an old save game, which pushed me back a couple of hours.

Oh man, what have I gotten myself into...

 

Anyway... it seems promising so far, I'd just wish it a bit better at explaining stuff, I hate having to figure out everything on my own in a video game. Kind of takes you out of the experience having to look everything up online.

 

Alright, will definitely do some side stuff first, not into that whole overly-punishing thing.

The problem is that it tells you everything at once: "so here's where you do this and if you do this instead you'll get this, and when that's done you'll have access to a new range of stuff that gives you the ability to see this thing and now you're fucked".

Just go with the flow, look things up online and ask questions here if there's something you can't fans the answer to :)

Funnily enough this week I'm starting it too (though this will probably be like my 4th playthrough), might be my fave RPG of all time....

Is there any difference between the PS1 remake, and the DS remake?

the ps1 is just a bad slow loading port of the snes game. a cursory look at the ds version makes it looks like it's got a handful of enhancements (second screen map, enemy info in battles, etc.) but i'm not sure what all the enhancements are. didn't know it was ever released on ds until you mentioned it.

Yeah the animations were choppy as shit on PS1

PS1: anime cut scenes, load times

DS: low res, inferior sound, revised translation, tacked on additional content

 

best team:

Alright, cool :)

 

Well, maybe you explain how the cooldown on "powers" work, it's pretty vague to me. Probably not that complicated, but is it tied to potions or is there just a timed limitation on them?

It's timed but if you roll around like crazy during combat he'll have a hard time powering up again as it's also tied to your stamina.

Taking a break from robbing banks and being kicked out of heists for no good reason, began playing Ori and the Blind Forest.

 

It is not only a great to control platformer with enjoyable and rewarding exploration, it's one of the most gorgeous games I've ever seen. If you like what Vanillaware do, you must play this. Jaw dropping!

 

 

Playing through Max Payne 1 again for the first time in a decade. So good, even today.

Tried installing GTA v onto ps4 last night from >>disc<<. System turned off after four hours. Checked it now and its started from scratch. Checked google and people are reporting their disc installs taking 6-10 hours.

 

What ??? the fuck is this ???

 

I better get a fucking trophy once this has finished installing

lol weak

 

fuckin' modern vidjas...

 

just played a bit of sc2 hots campaign which i never really started. was pretty fun. bought it for $10 about 6 months ago but didn't really play it until now...

After finishing Day of the Tentacle in matter of hours a couple of days ago, I launched The Curse of Monkey Island and played 20 minutes of it or so and managed to get off the first island onto my ship. Man, if only I could remember everything as well as these games.

I remember those Lucas Arts point & click adventure games. There are a couple of recent games by indie developers that follow the exact same style. Primordia is one, and there's a cyberpunk-themed one for which I forget the title.

 

Still on Borderlands 2, as the Mechromancer. Just reached lvl 46 and pushing on to 50, at which point I can "unlock" a weapons cache I created in the Sanctuary loot bank, after using my lvl 55 Siren to scoop up some Purples and Legendaries by farming one of the Raid bosses. Clappy's secret stash makes it possible to transfer loot between characters. Not gonna bother with UVHM though - that universal enemy health regen is bullshit.

Yeah, I still need to play Gemini Rue and all the other ones made by the same developer

lol. turns out it was a glitch that is easily fixed by cancelling the install, removing disc, reinserting disc, and trying again.

 

funny thing is, if you search google you find HEAPS of people reporting the same issue.

 

come on rockstar/sony, pull it together.
