Last Game You Played

[Psychotic Ninja]

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (PC). Story wise, I'm about to unlock the ability to ahem acquire parts for the Skate Ranch. However, screw that noise. I'm here to try and break open the speedrun route. I figured if I can glitch my way into Casino, that should, in theory, allow me to skip about 90% of the story (in theory). So far, I've glitched into Downtown and East L.A. Getting into the little area right before the tunnel leading to Casino is proving to be next to impossible. However, if I can actually get to that little area, then glitching into the tunnel leading to Casino will be a cakewalk.

 

On a side note, I've found a way to glitch my way into Santa Montica (well, kinda, seeing as the final door is closed, but I can get to the tunnel). So, outside of Casino, that just leaves glitching into Vans Park (possibility at 10% right now) and Oil Rig (impossible without Set Restart/Go To Restart in story mode).

Playing Battletech (HBS), a bit of Mechwarrior online and waiting on support at GoG to see if I can bring Underrail there to buy their expansion and continue my RPG Marathon. 

I really take my time with RPGs since I'm trying to do complete playthroughs without having to replay in the future as I bought a bunch over the years but they end up gathering dust in my Libraries (Only finished Pillars of eternity 4/5 years after buying it on release). 

Also, after rediscovering my love for the mech/mecha genre I feel a bit frustrated on how few mech games (at least high profile ones) are avaible in the market, Armored Core and Battletech being the only ones I can think of in recent years (a stretch with AC given how silent it is since 2013 I know). 

I did played Daemon X Machina when it came out too...scratches the nostalgia a bit but still disappointing for lack of content. 

Mechwarrior 5 is a no go to me until they release Mod support on Microsoft Store.

It's sad that most of the good IPs ended up in the hands of companies that make such poor decisions with them. Kinda like the Earthsiege/Cyberstorm/Tribes IP being exclusive to Hi-Rez Studios, but they've never touched on the Earthsiege or Cyberstorm side of it. (and kinda messed up the Tribes side too)

Considering the legal issues HBS and Piranha games had with Harmony Gold it's not surprising to me they didn't touched those IPs, don't know much about these titles tbh but from the images that I've seen, Earthsige alone would be easily sued by them if they ever tried to bring those mechs back. 

In positive news, there is a game called M.A.S.S. Builder which is pretty fun to play as well, it's not a Armored Core or Battletech by any means (more gundam then anything really) but it's really well made and the developers are VERY professional with their work giving consistent updates and even responding to most questions in their Discord Server, totally recommend even in it's Early Access state, if it's not known I'll post in the other thread (Games you bought recently) with a little bit more detail.

I don't see how Earthsiege could be sued over anything, as they had entirely unique HERC designs so that they couldn't be sued back when the original Mechwarrior game was their only competition...

Yeah you're right..I guess I looked too much into certain details rather then overall design of certain mechs and also compared from battletech instead of Robotechs,big mistake on my part.

Battletech designs are coming up in searches for Robotech stuff, so that can be a problem when deciding to do this sort of stuff. That said, Robotech has a lot to offer for mech-sim enthusiasts, and strategy gamers, if it was ever decided to make something. If you're interested I actually have an idea for a game set between the events of Earthsiege 2 and Cyberstorm that blends genres of all the Robotech universe game somewhat. (it would be difficult to do, but I think UE5 might be able to handle it if it can handle procedural generation of terrain, and destructible terrain)

Full Throttle Remastered.

 

Cool story and characters, I liked it. Only problem is that it kind of suffers from same problem Ross mentioned in his Eternam review, about sessions in a point-and-click adventure game where it requires arcade-like reflexes (in this case, the fights on the road against the other bikers). I did find them pretty easy (once I understand what to do) to be honest, but then again, arcade-like reflexes, so it may not be for everyone.

[State of Bedlam]

Silent Hill 2, finished a few days ago. And Silent Hill 3, a week before that. I've wanted to for a long, long time, but I finally took the initiative because of the Silent Hill DLC announcement for Dead by Daylight.

[BTGBullseye]

Fallout 4 with 249 mods installed. Unfortunately, all my savegames were corrupted.

[ConsoleGamer]

The Last of Us Part II.

I review games, so I was able to play it early. It might easily be the best game of this generation. I expected disaster but was pleasantly surprised.

[BTGBullseye]

Hero Siege. It's pretty OK.

[Psychotic Ninja]

FF 12 TZA

[friendlinzh]

i played world of warcraft classic

[Psychotic Ninja]

Destroy All Humans demo on Steam.

[ConsoleGamer]

Killzone 3 on PS3. A very good game. I still think the second one is the best, but this one definitely has its moments.

[BTGBullseye]

Fallout 4 with excessive mods again.

[ConsoleGamer]

I started playing Resistance: Fall of Man.

Not one patch, not one, running from the original disk. Impressive!

[DukeNukem 2417]

Duke Nukem II, for an ongoing video series.  Episode 4 Level 2 has entirely too many turrets. 

[BTGBullseye]

Need for Speed Undercover.

 

The car customization sucks, and the handling of the cars is off. It's also buggy, and stutters constantly.
