Yes! Let's go! Time for EU to do what US couldn't
I absolutely loved Hollow Knight, it was a much needed proof to me that video games can still be fun and suck me in.
I never played any souls game before it for more than a few minutes at a friends place and in the mid game I too thought that I would not be able to finish it. But I'd say I got quite good at it by just playing the way I wanted to and exploring. Yes, I did have to leave some bosses and come back later, but it always felt doable and never unfair. Granted, I did not complete the whole 112% of the game, but that's something that I liked about it, it felt like I could do all that I wanted, felt satisfied with and leave.
Anyway, my point is, don't worry about the difficulty too much, I think the game is balanced in such a way, where there are always things to do at your skill level.
Also, if you don't feel like you are getting better at it and just getting better gear, I'd recommend starting a new temporary save and seeing how far you can get to without dying. I cannot describe how much this surprised me, how all the patterns I memorized stayed with me and how much I could do with minimal upgrades.
2027, iirc
Tokyo Jungle always looked like an interesting game to me, but I never got the chance to play it
The titlebar is excellent, but the icons don't feel 98
I'm not sure about leaning in newer games, but it still definitely wasn't something I expected from a game made in 2003. If you're still interested in first person shooters, and like older pc games the old Call of Duty games (especially 2) and Medal of Honor games are some that are worth checking out! I tried other, more obscure, WW2 games from that time, but most of them only run at small resolutions, have issues with textures and similar. This made me appreciate the CoD and MoH games even more.
I also played quite a bit of Beat Saber when I first got my headset, I even tried to make my own map, but I got a bit bored of the game, maybe I'll pick it up once I have nothing else I'm looking to play in VR. Currently thinking of getting Arizona Sunshine or Phantom Covert Ops.
I still think the regular version of Superhot is also a really good game and definitely worth the time, even if I did like the VR version better. I also tried the sequel to Superhot on PC a long time ago, but I remember not liking it nearly as much and not finishing it.
Hello!
I do have a huge steam library of games, but It's doesn't really bother me, so I'm not trying to play through it all. However, since 2015 I have kept an Excel sheet of all the games I complete. The initial goal was to complete 30 games a year, inspired by Yahtzee Croshaw (formely the host of Zero Punctuation, current host of Fully Ramblomatic) taking about having to play a game each week. 52 seemed a bit too much for me even at the time (I was 15) so I settled on 30 and achived my goal that year. Currently the Excel sheet holds 171 games. I write the title, date and time of completion, playtime (if the game/platform provides it), the platform I played on, my own rating out of 10, and a somewhat arbitrary genre of the game. I also have a couple of charts, like what platform I play on the most, how many games I play per year and so on. I already managed to beat 3 games this year:
Superhot VR I got a Quest 2 this Christmas and this was the first game I played on it. I had previously beaten it on PC and I loved it, but the VR version seemed like the platform the game was made for. It was challenging, but never felt unfair. After beating it I had some friends over and we had a blast cometing for highscores in the endless mode. I even showed it to my mom (a non gamer) when I brought the headset over to her house and she seemed to enjoy it as well. I gave it a 10/10.
Call of Duty 1 I really felt like playing a good ol' WW2 FPS and this was one I didn't have on my Excel sheet yet, so I decided to give it a go, and I have to say, I was not disappointed. I was surprised by how many of the features I thought were only in modern games (ex. leaning) were already there. The game did show it's age however with things like the draw distance, empty seeming maps and quite primitive enemy AI. Overall a solid 7/10 experience.
Resident Evil 4 VR Resident Evil 4 for the PS2 was the game of my childhood and I knew it like the back of my hand so I was very excited to try it in VR. This was the game that made me discover how easily I get motion sick in VR, so I had to turn on some comfort options (teleporting insted of free movement and 3rd person in the boat section). Even though I enjoyed myself, I did have moments where I thought that I would rather be playing with a controller, the groove of headshot, run up, kick, slash with knife, was something I never really got in to, because I couldn't quickly teleport to the exact right spot and would often overshoot and get hit by another enemy. I also often started a reload when I wanted to pick up an item off the ground which was quite annoying. And I was very disappointed by the lack of Separate Ways in this release. In the end I decided to give this one an 8/10.
Since I work from home and I have a 1 hour lunch break every day I usually only spend about 20 minutes actually having lunch and the other 40 playing in VR to move around a bit. However, after work, I usually feel too tired for VR so that was the time I played COD.
Thanks. Appearantly time is measured by a single countries presidents now :/
Love the wallpaper!
