What did you do today in any other game out there

SWTOR

Already half-way, KOTET and I just did the "Star Wars" part of the plot. With some Sarevok flashbacks. And I got to pretend I was Iron Man Giant. 
I will probably finish KOTET this weekend, and there is still a lots of stuff after that to get where the story is at. 

After finishing Star Wars Outlaws and enjoying the hell out of it (do not listen to the hate train!), I've started playing Under The Waves.

It's... OK? I have only played for around 4h, so I hope the game gets more interesting. So far it's very slow and clunky. It's a story about grief. So not particularly original. Once again a stoic man is grieving the loss of a child and a strained marriage. Took the deep sea job because he still needs more time. He has weird dreams and stuff. So I hope they crank up the weird factor to the max and make this a really cool journey. The part where you just go about fixing leaks and stuff for the oil company is quite dull. It's like a slow Subnautica light. You can collect resources and craft supplies. In a very limited capacity.

The lip sync is the worst I have ever seen, it's basically non existent. The actor talks and the lips do something else. Very distracting. I cannot read longer journal entries because there is no scroll button? Or at least I can't seem to figure out how to do it. So the game feels pretty clunky and a bit unpolished. I do like the art design of the habitat module and his little submarine. The music is great and creates a nice atmosphere.

So I'm hoping this gets better, otherwise this is a 6/10. Reviews are mostly positive. The trailer looked amazing, so I'm a little disappointed. But judging by Steam reviews it does get better.

Still working my way through Lost Legacy...but I am seriously procrastinating where OUTLAWS is concerned because I don't want to do the Rancor mission. But I know I'm missing out on a great game, so maybe I should just grin and get to it, eh?

I never finished this game on my old computer, and then the hard drive died, and then the whole computer, so now I'd have to start over. I don't even remember how far I got, maybe half way. According to GOG I played about 15h.

Finally got around to playing Nuka World expansion for Fo4. My character Elisabeth has lost everything, sacrificed her friends for what she thought was the greater good.

Now for some therapy she headed to Nuka World to relive old world memories. Instead she lost her marbles In her grief and will now terrorize the commonwealth.

Love this game, so underrated.

MEA had very little time to play, reset the power at site one on Eos, killed Kett, explored buildings, scanned a dead body, talked to a salvager and got a vehicle to explore with. Liam may well be drooling.

Picked up and started Beyond Galaxyland. Seems like a pretty fun adventure so far. Sci fi rpg, with turn based combat, a Pokémon style capture and summon feature for creatures and some space traveling.

Diablo III

There's really not much to tell about 95% of the time that i spend in Diablo III i do Nephalem Rifts.
When i do one of those rifts the game sends you to a random set of areas mostly three where you have to kill enemies.
And i mean a lot of enemies i never counted them but if i have to guess it would be 5 to 600 and that's a roughly guess.
When you've killed enough enemies the boss will appear and when that's done you can go back and talk to Orek who will close the rift and you can do the next one and so on.

They're fun to do you do not need your brains for that nope not at all.

And i love my 7 skeleton companions who will fight for me until they die and all i do is bash the square button and sometimes the X button and that's about it.

Oh before i go there are also those treasure goblins who will appear randomly in one of those rifts i do and sometimes there are more then ten of those creatures and all they want is for me to kill them but you have to be quick about it.

Finished Max Payne and what a ride.

I thought it was going to be a simple hardboiled detective bullet time shooter. Instead Max Payne’s story made a lefthand turn into Castlevania then made a detour to Silent Hill and finally he ended up in Deus Ex. Wild, but somehow it works.

There’s also something charming in the way the game was made; you could tell the game was low budget and the developers couldn’t hire proper actors so they and their relatives had to fill those roles. Also, due to the budget constraints, they couldn’t make expository cutscenes so instead they created graphic novel sequences which work so much better for the tone of the story.

The run and gun gameplay is very simple but so satisfying, feels like the perfect combination of John Woo and John Wick. The snowy New York City atmosphere is always good for these kind of games and Max’s Neo-Noir dialogue is bliss; I could listen to him ramble about cheesecake and it wouldn’t get boring.

All that said, there are glaring issues: there’s platforming sections in the game but the side movement is too sensitive so you end up constantly falling, the camera is uncooperative during the said platforming sequences and you have to fight it at times, the in-game cutscene can not be skipped which leads to frustrating long load times when you get killed.

Overall, a good game for its time but it really needs a remake.

I finished Under The Waves in less than 10h.
The ending was very predictable and disappointing. It's supposed to be beautiful, I guess. But the reality of it turns the father into a pathetic ass.
The game did get better but still something like 6.5/10. I didn't mind the heavy handed environmental message. I thought the voice acting was good. The dialogue was good too.
It was just not particularly original or captivating outside the beautiful music doing the heavy lifting.
Gameplay was annoying to downright rage inducing. The submarine in tight spaces handles so poorly. The camera is so disorienting in pipes, making it difficult to steer or even just know what direction you're facing. Resulting in constant bumping into everything.

I'm rarely disappointed by a game I buy but this one sadly was. It's not terrible. It wasn't a total waste of time. But I've seen the exact same theme of coping with the loss of a child or partner so many times before and done better.

The survival elements and crafting are totally tacked on. Would have been better as a complete walking simulator. There a collectibles and upgrades for your suit I never bothered with and didn't need. I don't even know why I collected like 100 plastic bottles when I only needed a fraction for crafting to get through the game without suffocating. Technically you don't even need to craft anything because everything is strategically placed in mission locations to keep you from dying. I had like 40 unused oxygen sticks at the end.

I do not recommend this game. :/

MEA, so Sara finished on Eos for now, activated the Monoliths, Reset the Vault and set up an outpost. Also played some politics with Addison, no handshake for you Ms "my face is tired".

Got a new crew member probably main LI for this PT though I will not finish this before Veilguard starts.



Added a Krogan to the crew.



Calm before the storm



Settlement Begins
