Posted December 19, 2023 Cassette Beasts is starting to lose me... There's a good game underneath the hood, but lots of small things are annoying as hell. For example: Catching a mon while your team is full doesn't prompt a "do you want to take it with you"-message. It goes into storage immediately. And accessing the storage is tedious as hell...you gotta use a campfire or go into town. Speaking of campfires and towns: You can only fast travel to towns. Makes traversal quite boring. I did rectify these two problems by installing a mod, though... The worst thing, though: The battles are starting to drag on and on and on. Enemy monsters have way too much exp in my opinion and type advantages are not as potent as I hoped. Yeah, not sure how long I'll stay with this one...might be 9€ wasted 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 21, 2023 I'm assuming the Steam winter sale will start tonight. Might have to take a look at my wishlist and see what'll be worth getting for the Ally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thankfully for my wallet the Steam sales aren't what they used to be (90% off of most games back in 2013). Still hoping for one or two roguelites to have a nice discount.

Having to pay attention daily for new discounts, sometimes every 4 hours for the flash sales. These days I check on the first day, maybe get one game but leave the rest because I can probably find it cheaper elsewhere and never check back again.

Posted December 26, 2023 I ended up double dipping on Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Just something about that series that makes it so I can play it over and over again without getting bored. Installing it now on the Ally. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, is this place running really slow this morning? Took me ages to load this page up and reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah running very slow for me. I've owned the Mass Effect trilogy games on Xbox 360, PS3, PS4/5 and now PC. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2023 Last night I found Die in the Dungeon: Origins, a free prequel to Die in the Dungeon (duh) which will be released sometime next year. Quote Die in the Dungeon is a deck-building, turn-based roguelite where your deck is not made out of cards, but DICE! In Die in the Dungeon, each dice represents a different action, from basic ones like attacking or healing to boosting other dice or copying their abilities. Improve the quality of your dice, combine them and acquire powerful relics to defeat the monsters that dwell in the dungeon! Find great synergies by combining dice with unique abilities to create powerful and bizarre decks! The game doesn't have Steam Deck/controller support so I had to use the trackpad and LT/RT. It works great. I was always weary of this particular control setting, but I think I'll use it more and more. This kinda makes me want to get Against the Storm now, but that's a different story. Anyways, Die in the Dungeon: Origins is fun for what it is: An introduction to a game that needs its mechanics to be fleshed out a bit more. Some more visual cues could be very helpful, too. Right now you only know that a die has a certain property when you hover over it. For example: it can be "hollow" and cost no energy. However, if you draw two or more dice of the same colour you don't immediately know which one it is. I'm definitely gonna play more of this and keep an eye on the full game's development. Seems like something I could spend ages with if done right 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spent ages downloading the 100 gigs for Mass Effect only for the latest bios update for my Ally to fuck the controls for the system. Touch screen worked thankfully but nothing else so after trying every solution I could find, including rolling back the bios I had to do a full cloud recovery. Fixed the issue but I'm now waiting for Mass Effect to redownload again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can aim, you can find equipment, bosses are better. I like it It's still in early access so more content is coming, but for now I'm happy to replay the 4 available stages with the 9 available characters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 7 Just thought I'd make an announcement that due to some niggling itch, I've gotten back into playing Hitman 3. I think I caught one video of one of the last levels in the earlier game which I could never do stealthily. But have been re-enjoying the sniper challenges. Although for some reason it doesn't seem to have saved my progress from the previous 2 games. Oh well, I'll just go through them again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 8 (edited) I literally can't think of anywhere else to post this. From Sakurai's latest video... WTF is this controller meant to be!? I... can't post this controller image anywhere else!
