BurntWits

There is a bit more story in Inside but it’s still kind of on the back burner a bit. The main allure, at least for me, is the constant “what the fuck is happening here” I’m constantly asking myself whenever I enter a new area. At the end of the day, it’s a short game, it’s cheap to buy, and if you don’t like it you can always refund it on steam. By the time you’re two hours in, you’ll know by that point if you’ll like the rest of the game or not. Or if you’re really good at puzzle platformers you could probably even finish it within the refund window, though I wouldn’t recommend doing that.

Maybe, that sounds familiar. By the sounds of it, you probably wouldn’t love Inside. You might like it a bit more than Limbo, but it’s got the same things you didn’t like about Limbo, which happen to be the reasons I love both games. The gameplay is basically just a different flavour but it’s quite similar, and it’s also very sparse on story, focusing more on atmosphere and vibes basically, which I actually really like, but it sounds like you don’t.the main focus is definitely on the environment, with everything else sort of on the back burner.

What was it about Limbo that didn’t do it for you? I’ve played both many times so I may be able to help more than the person you replied to originally.

I’m a huge fan of Inside. Genuinely one of my favourite gaming experiences ever. So good. Limbo is really good too if you haven’t played it, but I personally prefer Inside.

Another week where I’ve actually had time to play, but not on pc at all this week unfortunately. The last few days I’ve been playing Evolve. I recently found a used disc for PS4 and remember really enjoying it back in the day on Xbox (which I no longer have). I’m actually having a blast playing through it on single player again. The DLC is completely inaccessible nowadays unless you already have it unfortunately so I’m stuck with the base 12 hunters and 3 monsters but that’s okay, all my favourites were from the base game anyway. It’s too bad this game wasn’t better received, I used to play it a lot and was very confused when I saw all the negative reviews it had. Maybe it just didn’t click with most people and it did for me, not sure. Or maybe there was drama with it that I didn’t know about. Either way, I’m having a ton of fun with it again. I’ve unlocked all the hunters except Lazarus and Caira (I think that’s her name), and I still have to unlock the other two monsters.

I did maybe an hour or two after the halfway point and dropped it. I couldn’t do it at that point. I’m sure it gets better but I completely lost interest after that.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had any time for gaming at all, but this past week I’ve actually had time for two gaming sessions which has been awesome. Hitman: World of Assassination It’s my second most played game of all time, so when I finally had time to play a game this one was the first that came to mind. I’m actually missing a ton of achievements so I’ve been working at getting those. I think I managed to pick up the rest of the easy ones now, it’s just all the mastery ones and some hidden ones left. So I’m still less than halfway unfortunately. But that’s okay! I’m excited to work for these ones, hopefully I find the time to continue. Medal of Honor (1999) After seeing a post on Lemmy that someone finished a fan remake of this game, I decided to check it out. I’ve only ever played Airborne from this series, and quite liked my time with that one, and I’m having a blast with this one too. I’m so far two levels into it. No idea how long the game is, but it’s a ton of fun. It’s also got me in the mood for more shooters, but I’ve been out of the FPS scene for years so I don’t know what’s good anymore. If anyone knows of a good single player FPS with good gun controls that’s not owned by EA/doesn’t need a launcher and third party account to access, I’d appreciate it. I used to love Battlefield games, but that’s EA. I also used to love Titanfall, but same issue. Then I thought of the newer Battlefront games, but again, yeah. I don’t want CoD either. I’ve already played DOOM.

I’m not sure I’ve had any boss fight last 10 minutes in Elden Ring and I’ve played through the game 20+ times. Unless you’re doing challenge runs, that could obviously take way longer depending on the challenge run. But a normal playthrough? I’d be surprised to see any boss take 10 minutes to kill. One of you would be dead long before then I think.

I haven’t found the enemies to be bullet spongey in Elden Ring either as long as you’re sufficiently levelling and upgrading your weapons so I’m not sure I know what you mean. But in Sekiro you don’t really damage health but rather build a stance meter, which once you fill all the way allow you to deal a death blow, but if you stop attacking or deflecting for more than a moment the meter starts to go back down. You can do health damage but it doesn’t usually make sense to do so.

Ah, the roof of Ashina Castle. The boss at the end there is sort of described as the brick wall that basically is the “final exam” that determines if you’re ready for the “real game” so-to-speak. I’d personally recommend doing that boss and Lady Butterfly around the same time, but you could do it in either order or avoid LB entirely if you wanted to. I usually reach both bosses before fighting either, then fight them back to back, that’s just the way that makes the most sense to me, but everyone’s different.

Ah, good to know, thanks. Not sure I’ll ever need the info but I’m always curious on what’s popular, even if it’s not something I’m interested in. I know of both artists but don’t know much music from either and don’t care to. But it’s cool to see what’s seen as better or worse by the general fanbase.

I totally misread the meme and thought the POV character beat up a dude with cancer. Not that realizing my mistake would’ve helped much though, your explanation still helped either way since I don’t know anything about goku.

I don’t get it :(

That cover of Spoonman at the end was actually pretty good.

On the Gardiner?? I call bullshit. Gotta be photoshopped or something.

Last year I had it happen to me, turns out it was displaced cartilage in my chest. No idea how it happened. Immediately after finding that out, I got a back injury at work (unrelated) and had to go to physio for it, which also coincidentally helped my chest pain too.
