Quoting: PenglingOh gawd.

Thats what she said!........

Finished System Shock!

Great game. I never finished the original, so the last few levels were completely new to me. The final cyberspace battle was clearly more story leaning (you can't lose), but to be honest, at that point in the game I'm not sure if I really wanted a super hard boss fight. Maybe something more puzzle based?

Ill have to think about what to play next week... I'm debating between, Witcher 3 (partially played), or Mass Effect (never played). Both look playable on the Deck, which means I can hopefully play with a Steam Link too!

W00t!

Glad you enjoyed it..... Look forward to see your next adventure.....

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderI was pretty much going to say the same thing...... the FMV game is best suited to the point and click adventure genre......

The FMV game was NEVER going to the future of gaming......

I heard about some bad "technology" flops with interactive movie type games. (going back as far as using VHS tapes and a pixel reading gun)

If it can be like watching a decent, lower budget movie with some plot decisions, that's got value to me. I'd probably pay $20 for one of those.

A good point and click game, with filmed movie graphics and decent actor(esses) would also be good, but forget the silly arbitrary game difficulty. Some sleuthing around, some puzzling choices... that kind of stuff is good, for example.

Otherwise, I have to say, that "The Bunker" FMV was some pretty good psych misery. I even did appreciate (a bit, and for the first few times!) how the game tormented me with that last ridiculous button mashing event. On failure, a vision of the Superintendent, a big, tall bald headed Welsh accented prick (good actor) all bluish and scary, BARKS at you like a dog. As soon as you fail... his face, and BARK! lol

This is a new type of game for me. I mean, I've played point and click games, but not cinematic ones like these. I'm going to have to explore some of the others in the bundle I don't think I'm that interested in. There's one about a heist in London that looks good. Others, not so much, one looks like some stupid dating game.

Awesome, it's a really good game. A bit difficult to figure out at times though.

That's why I haven't finished it yet. I missed things in the Maintenance level and proceeded through Reactor, and now I have to go back (without any direction). I intend to just bring up a walkthrough on my phone and trace my way through Maintenance to find everything.

It's been a barrier for getting back to it but once I do I can get back to enjoying it. I was until I got off track there.

Congratulations, the traversal alone isn't easy.

Well, since Fanatical sent my pre-ordered Steam-key early (yeah, yeah, I know, don't pre-order stuff, but this is a series where I know what I'm getting, and there was a 20% discount - I sorted this out back in May!), I'll leave you guys with a little clue about what I'm doing for the next weekend thread;









I'd been hoping for a midnight launch, but for whatever reason they've set the unlock time for Super Bomberman R 2 to more-or-less match that of the Nintendo eShop, even though the Switch got a physical release of the game a day early. Still, only a few more hours to go!

Looks like you will be playing Mighty No 9.........

PFF! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I played Art of Fighting & Street Fighter II Remastered this past weekend with a friend while she was visiting.

Outside of that not much gaming going on.

If it helps, you will have to visit maintenance and reactor levels twice.

For maintenance

Spoiler, click me

you will need to revisit it after doing part of executive level. Where you have to go is randomized to one of the 4 quadrants to find the broken relay. And then go back to executive to eject the groves. I think the groves mission is the most complicated as there are so many moving parts.

.

For reactor

Spoiler, click me

you will need to revisit it after engineering. To be fair, if your not writing down the numbers by every CPU node cluster when you blow them, you'll have to revisit the nodes on level 1-6 to get the numbers to enter the code into the reactor.

There are some audio logs that explain it, but I found i needed to write my objectives down. I think the ability to write notes in the game would be huge.
