That description kind of reminds me of Victor Vran, if you haven't looked at that before.

As I recall, and it's been a while, ability customization goes as far as having two weapons, both with two attack modes, a charged equippable special, armor (that mostly deals with how your special charges), and some modifiers, like +dam/-life, +drops, etc.

It's much more gameplay focused than loot grind, and there's no open world to speak of; it's basically a set of mission-driven maps, and post-storyline replays of the maps have objectives like "Kill 50 units in 20 seconds with the lightning gun without taking damage."

Huh, for some reason I had set that one to 'ignore' on my steam account. (I think I might have quickly dismissed it as a Van Helsing clone.) Thanks, I'll move it to the 'give it a whirl some time' camp.

And yeah, balancing in Martyr is not exactly perfect. Progression in ARPGs always come across rather weird to me, so that's usually not what I focus on. I'm not aiming to get 100+ hours out of this or any ARPG - more of a 'scratch an itch' thing than a genre I love. And... I'll admit the 40k (or even just sci-fi) setting is definitely part of the appeal.

After watching a lot of Elder Scrolls speedruns, I felt the urge to play Skyrim again. This time I wanted to do something different: instead of being a psychic murder hobo who zooms through the main plot, I turned away from the first main quest marker and started walking.

There's a lot of things I never noticed about Skyrim due to fast-travel abuse. Like how instead of using magic or ranged weapons, vampires will chase wild animals on foot and try to punch them.

Bears and sabre cats are still OP.

Let us know how long you spend wandering the wilds before your character reverts to psychic murder hobo.

Fallout 1 , completed the water chip quest finally.
As a low intelligence character it involved mostly killing people and mutants nearly everywhere as there was no alternative way for low level intelligence in that game unfortunately (as everyone refuse basically to talk to you) and nearly no side quest to complete due to npc not giving them to you due to the "not talking to moron" part.

Sad to see that low level intelligence character run result in being the most boring and linear way to play Fallout 1 (as killing everyone and ignoring all side quests is already possible with any kind of character, with a low level int guy you're forced into this) instead of being different.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Apparently the part with the supermutants blocking the watershed was supposed easy for such character as there's a forced dialogue when you enter the building that lead to the underground ruined vault in which your low level int character is supposed to confuse a moronic supermutant but either the "fixit" mod (that fix lots of bugs in F1) did something bad to that dialogue or it's just not working as intended because the supermutant isn't confused and is always turning hostile once a couple of "Huh?" dialogues (no choices in it) are made.

Anyways it's where i appreciated that i had found a very good sniper rifle (and have very good skill points in it) as along with my murder doggie we annihilated those scary supermutants and could continue our way to the ruined vault underground to fetch that water chip.

Killed a few glowing ghouls (they irradiate you on hit) and could get back to the vault and deliver the chip as requested



The dialogue with the overseer there was a bit funny with my very stupid character but it worked for everyone in the end.

Got enough XP to reach level 7

Then i recieved the last quest, the one to kill the Master, the overseer managed to find words so my stupid character could understand :


Apparently i'm the hero of the vault now, every kids wants to be me , poor parents

Bought Assassin's Creed Black Flag during the Fall sale.

I'm only a couple hours in, doing the collecathon busy work as is per my usual....

And I'm struck by just how bad the combat is. Where to start.....

It feels paper thin. Fights are over so quickly I barely even realize I had one.

It feels so sloppy. Within the first hour or two I've seen tons of half-finished animations during kill syncs, weapons just disappearing out of Edward's hands, or these janky little gestures where you're like "What was that even?" Hidden blade animations despite not having the hidden blades. Animations not synching up correctly. AC3 had this problem worse than AC Revelations, which had it worse than AC2 Brotherhood.....I swear it's like the technical craft of their own work just degrades over time.

It feels easy. I'm pretty sure I've countered kill guys without even hitting the counter kill button. Or the timing is so generous it beggars belief.

It's buggy. On one of my very first missions I was supposed to flee the guards. Well, you can't outrun them and they chase you down and then do that tackle move that you use. Not sure what to do so I figured, maybe you're supposed to dodge it or something? I hit jump right as he goes for me. Some....thing happens, and suddenly I'm underneath Havana, in the water, inside the level geometry. Too much Dark Souls and For Honor I guess, I must have timed that dodge perfectly. Anyways the guards can't find me, I swim away and complete the mission and go roaming around the waterways of Havana for a few minutes until I decide I'm trapped and just fast travel.

Edward is....dirty. I think the truth is I'm not super down with pirates because they're generally kind of dicks. That combination of being a rogue and also boastful and brash. We'll see how he shapes up later but so far all I want is to give him a bath.

I get that Black Flag is really about the islands and naval gameplay and that's what makes the game but man.....I sort of expected Black Flag to be fresh start before the series starts to decline again.....but so far it seems in serious ways to be a downgrade from AC3 in terms of tech and handling. From what I know of later games this actually looks like the start of the badness that really shows in Unity and other titles. I guess I'm just a little disappointed so far because AC IV was kinda hyped up, but it looks like all the things that are classic AC game play in it seem shoddily executed.

It makes me wonder if the game later on is so good it overshadows these problems, because I didn't really hear about how technically pisspoor it is.

FO2 has many of the same issues, but there are also some wonderful dialogues to be had at low int. Stuff like the strange and prophetic mystic in Arroyo getting completely fed up with you and dropping the mystical mystic act so that you'll go do your damn job and leave him alone

And of course the old woman wondering aloud why the fuck this idiot is the chosen one

EVE Online. after farming daily event missions for SP and buying some alpha injectors i was able to finish with most of the drone skills, bought a cruiser with drone bonuses and started doing abyssal deadspace diving. its quite challenging even at the base lvl but it was doable, until the internet connection went off for a few minutes. F to my Arbitrator, aint buying that shit again. im gonna stay mining for a while thinking what to do next.

I tried playing Enderal, but it kept crashing at the beginning when I tried leaving Cliche Cabin.  And my PC is more than capable of handling it

Aw. That sucks.

Did you do the steam version? That's probably the most stable version.

Yep, Steam version is the version I tried saddly

started a Nuzlocke run in Pokemon Emerald. it has been quite challenging to keep everyone alive, specially with the way the gyms and lvls are organized in Hoenn up to the point that almost everyone save for my starter (Treecko) was ravaged in the 3rd gym (fuck you Wattson, fuck your Magneton and fuck your Manectric). thankfully the daycare exists so i only have to sacrifice a few money to train the new party members.

As I've mentioned in a few other threads, I'm adapting a Nintendo gamebook into a Twine story. Naturally, this involves solving all the puzzles as I encounter them. The majority of them aren't really "puzzles" at all, instead being things like word scrambles, mazes and coloring pages.

However, one of them is a bloody math problem.

Link wants to hide in whichever spot he can get to first. The tree is 180 feet away, while the boulder is only half that distance. But the boulder is up a steep hill, while the tree is downhill from where Link stands. Link can run downhill three times as fast as he can run uphill, but it will take him 60 feet to get up to full speed. Until then, he can only cover one and a half times as much ground running downhill as running up. Which can he reach first, the boulder or the tree?

If I were the age this book was aimed at I would already have ample reason to skip this puzzle, but the solution takes it even further.

Spoiler: The solution (click to show/hide)

It's a trick question. Link will reach the boulder and the tree in the same amount of time. If you hide behind the boulder, you get killed by tektites.
