What game was this?

[Loud Whispers]

Victoria II: misery and railroad simulator

*EDIT
I should add it was using the HPM mod

[Egan_BW]

Turns out that the throne dies pretty quickly if you're dual wielding cluster launchers. Who knew.
Nuclear Throne

Nuclear Throne

Gotta say, I love it when effectively the same post shows up in both 'How did you last own?' and 'How did you last die?'

[Egan_BW]

Heh, yeah. Steriods is fun, I should play him more. I play for the guns and often forget to use my character powers, and while it's kind of hard to get used to Steriods' power is pretty much just gun.

That run was bolt weapons + bolt marrow for a long time, but by the time I entered the palace I was running cluster launcher + grenade shotgun, which tore through palace enemies quite well. Right before the portal to the last level I was offered a second cluster launcher, which I passed up. Then the chest before throne was also a cluster launcher so I took the hint and dual wielded them against the throne. It died before it could even get off it's giant green balls attack.

Didn't try looping that run. Maybe later. I'm still not good enough to get to the throne anywhere near consistently.

Always dual wield if the game gives you two guns.

Decided to make a swordsman in adventure mode. With the new ability to add whatever you items you want ( within a budget ) on character create, I gave my human warrior an iron scimitar, and a wooden practice sword.

I proceeded to use my iron scimitar to cripple large animals, and switched to my wooden sword to beat them like a moving punching bag. I was able to get my swordsmanship from Talented to Grandmaster in only like 6 hippos.

From there, I decided I needed to actually fight proper enemies to make the jump from Grandmaster to truly Legendary swords master. For the principle of it.

Effortlessly cut down two ogres, and several big cats that tried to ambush me. The real test was a fortress of goblins.


Nearly got killed on the first engagement. Gobbos had bowmen, so I immediately run to the other side of some trees for cover, while three melee fighters surrounded me. Somehow, I got one hand crippled, then a leg, then my other hand got bitten. I dropped my precious iron scimitar, but was able to scoop it up into my backpack, while simultaneously choking out all the goblins coming after me ( I'd already hamstrung most of them before I got crippled ).

I fled, and after resting, was amazing not permanently crippled. All either muscular or just sensory nerve damage. So it was back into the fort.

I'm up to 37 goblin kills. Not a single one of them can beat me alone, or even 3 on one, an their ranged fighters are missing. Green fish in a barrel ( so far ).



DF. Haven't had this much fun building up a particular skill in a while, and actually being able to survive long enough to use it. I'm hoping for even bigger and nastier opponents to cut down, but actually finding anything in adventure mode is so much harder than it used to be.

Spoiler: What do you mean "too many to handle?" (click to show/hide)

This did take several tries. The tactic that worked was opening with a smoke pellet, and occasionally toss a concussion detonator. Also, quick-fired Batarangs and Batclaws try to prioritize enemies with guns, though that doesn't always work.

I got so much XP for this.

Batman: Arkham Origins.

[AzyWng]

Successfully completed the first objective of the task "Debut" in a run where I took down two scavs - one of who was a sniper scav (a scav who is spawned on a distant rooftop with a rifle). Also received a good bit of loot, enough EXP for me to reach level 5, and a good deal of praise from the person who I was buddying up with - who had previously gotten shot down when fighting a scav one-on-one (I had been hanging back behind vehicles and terrain so I couldn't even see them).

All in all, a good day.

Escape From Tarkov.

Meta, but... ended up finishing 130 games this year, finally making a dent in the old backlog. Making a list helped a lot in this. As did just sitting down and doing it.

Here's to more backlog purging in 2021.

[heydude6]

Dear God! Were all 130 of those games worth it?

[Teneb]

Dear God! Were all 130 of those games worth it?

No.

Here's The List. Most games were fine or good, but there's actual garbage in there.

[heydude6]

I just skimmed your list. I'm surprised by just how many games I heard about before.

Breaks my heart to see you give teleglitch a 2/5, but I understand perfectly. The game would have been so much better if it actually randomized the loot and room layouts. As is, each run lacks the variation needed to justify permadeath.

How many games do you have left?

Too damn many. The many free games this year didn't help either.

But I have finally had my steam backlog dip below the completed number, so that's nice I guess.

[Robsoie]

Was Freedoom that good ? I mean you gave it 4/5
I toyed a bit with the wad but went quickly back into playing another one that interested me more, should i have persevered to see that it was great ?
