Got something in the mail today.

Catherine is an unconventional romantic horror. Avoiding the "Dating Simulator" stereotypes, they tackle romance from a very different angle than just talking your way into love over time.

The gameplay is Q-Bert's Worst Nightmare, spent climbing and pulling boxes in a nightmare-ish setting. To be honest, I initially hated it. The floor continually breaks apart, meaning you can't really take your time on solving them like most puzzle games. The good news on that side is that between stages, you can learn techniques from a few NPCs you'll be locking horns with along the rest of the game. It helps tremendously, and some you may discover on your own as well. Not sure the life system was necessary, but the spots between saves are comfortable enough that it doesn't become a problem.

Oh right, the story. I'll avoid spoilers for the moment, but they twist it in ways you won't expect, and some of the characters during the nightmare stages will clue you in to some of it before things take place. Right now I'm at the end of Stage 6, fighting something that would be appropriately seen in something like Bayonetta.

In short, it's a Dark Psychological game where you climb a tower full of supernatural foes covered in symbolism. That's Atlus for you. Not sure if it's on my favorites list, but I like it so far despite a bumpy beginning.

I liked this thread so I'll continue.

 

I'm playing Five Nights at Freddy's 2 just after getting it earlier today. It's a series about killer chuck-e-cheese-like animatronics and you're the unlucky chump trying to survive the night shift. The jumpscares are nice but they get kind of grating after a while; the real charm is the paranoid atmosphere this game evokes and the minimalist lore/backstory. The gameplay is challenging and it can take you a while to beat the extra nights. There's a lot of value for its modest price (5 for the first and 8 for the second). I loved the first one and I'm hoping to enjoy more of the second one. 

 

Anyway, here's PacFreddy.

Recently (metaphorically) pulled out Metroid Fusion and started playing that.

 

Makes me want to make a Metroid game. Maybe one day.

I'll get back into Hearthstone once I can play it on my phone.

Played Gears of War 2. God damn this scene, first time I ever genuinely felt sad playing a video game. A lot of people think Gears of War is a mindless series, but I beg to differ.

The thing is they gave you no reason to care about Maria, I think I laughed during that scene. And I think I'll go back to my ME2 playthrough after getting distracted by other things.

Since GoG's sale, it's been all over the place. I got near the end of Catherine at 7-4 but got stuck at the staircase puzzle. Was about 1 block away from finishing, I'll have to check online for it.

Worked on Serious Sam 2, which is a great deal better than the first. More thought-out level design, multiple difficulties, new weapons/enemies/etc. It's above average. Once I get something to listen to, I'll get back at it.

Touched Rayman Origins for a bit. Eye Popping visuals and the controls seem tight.

Been Replaying Dark Souls in preparation for Bloodborne. Managed to beat Asylum Demon, Taurus Demon, Bell Gargoyles, and Quelaag in less than 2 hours. MY BODY IS READY LETS DO THIS

Also, Got to Chapter 3 of Valkyria Chronicles.

What?!

Oh good, so I'm not the only one who had to do that.

 

Anyway, I've recently been playing Deadly Premonition. Its dialogue is as amusing as I was led to expect, but goddamn are those zombie-fighting sections tedious.

KotOR II. It was going well on difficult until I crash landed on the Telos mesa. Now the HK assassin droids must have killed me like 10 times, they always shoot me dead before I can stun them. It's awful.

Most of the puzzles on Normal Mode aren't too bad, but occasionally I end up either hitting my head on a puzzle or running from a Killer Cybernetically Enhanced Baby With A Chainsaw for a Hand. I'm so glad they threw in the Time-Reversal Element for Normal and Below, I use that sucker for half of the tower stuff.

Deadly Premonition's combat feels like a less polished version of the later resident evil games. Generally the enemies are easy enough that it never really bothered me all that much.

Serious Sam was a fun game to play, but I've only played the first game on my cousin's PC years ago.

Rayman Origins is "marvelous"!

 

Have fun with VC and DS.

Since the "Winter Patch" for Battlefield 4 seems to have corrupted my game to the point that even selecting it freezes up the Origin client completely, I've been taken to playing XCom Enemy Unknown again. Oh boy, do I love this game.

Still playing Borderlands: The Pre-sequel, but I've since added the Season Pass to the mix. I've also taken both my flagship Athena and Nisha to Normal completion and level 34. Not far behind are Aurelia and Claptrap, who are levels 25 and 21, respectively. My Jack is level 10, and I'm about to start a second, experimental Athena.

I haven't played the Holodome yet, and as its description reads like Moxxi's Underdome, my least favourite DLC in all three games so far, all over again, I'm not expecting much. Aurelia's somewhat more worthwhile; she's not as well fleshed out as the other characters, with some clearly generic and cut-and-paste lines, as if they were made in a panic. Still, her rich-b**** routine in her ridiculous accent and her play style are fun.

But already, I think the Doppelgang-Jack is worth every penny; he's fully fleshed out with custom lines, and the result is pure comedy gold. Just in the first 10 levels, he's been hit on by the real Jack, nearly blew his chunks making posters for Janey, and melted into incoherent mess at the sight of Moxxi. He's even got a skill that causes the real Jack to randomly call up to compliment or berate him. Entertaining stuff.

Apparently Inquisition recently got auto-attack. I updated and I just started a new character, female elf rogue. The one time I played through I mainly just rushed, I;m hoping I can take my time this time and explore everything.

Edit: Ye gosh, Mother Giselle is just as ugly as I remembered. She looked like an animal, I genuinely cannot look at her face.

Got through the first mission of Hitman 3: Contracts. It feels very dark and gritty, I'll give it another try later.

About 2/3 the way through Rayman Origins, and it's really grown on me. The Visuals are practically flawless and extraordinarily well-animated. The gameplay has a nice mix between challenge and platforming whimsy. I think the biggest challenges were the teeth treasure levels.

For those planning to beat the game, I'd highly reccomend taking the time to check for hidden cages or lums, as you'll need quite a few to finish - afraid passing the levels ain't enough in the long run.

Finished the third Game of Thrones episode. Been playing Pillars a lot. Some Ultima 7, and some Might and Magic 6. Right now I kind of want to play some fps game, though.

Been playing Resident Evil 5, which I bought at a discount from Steam to replace my GFWL disc version. Finished the game again, and now playing through it again as Sheva to get the 20,000 points needed for infinite ammo for the S&W M500, after which I'll take it out for a spin, then probably be done with the game.

I've also been playing Age of Wonders III again. April 14 can't come soon enough.
