Hello everyone. Hope all my fellow Americans are gonna have a good Thanksgiving next week. I had my birthday this past week which was fun and full of debauchery. Anyway I finished another playthrough of Disco Elysium, finally did 100% achievements after 5 playthroughs. I also played some Binding of Isaac, but I didn’t play the new update. Have a good week everyone
Stalker 2 has been disappointing. Might end up somewhere good eventually, but until then I’m thinking about playing GAMMA again. Problem is that I updated it like an idiot and now all my hours of modding it last time are left as a broken mess of files to redownload. Think I’m gonna just have to start from a fresh install and rebuild my list. Gotta have my mags mod and my girl character to stalk the zone in search of artifacts. I guess I could put some more time into Zero Sievert for my fix instead, but it’s not as immersive and that’s what I like.
Also rockin magic arena still, got a good monogreen hydra deck with an above-average win rate - though it’s still not as good as my black-red bloomburrow lizard aggrocragro deck.
Have you played Sievert since the 1.0 release? I really enjoyed it when I played it but that was around a year ago now and I haven’t picked it up since the official “release”, wondering if they improved it or made it worse as some decisions they made during the run up to 1.0 weren’t super popular I seem to remember.
Yeah I played the 1.0 release recently. It’s still the same kinda deal. Most of the former progression quests have been moved to procedural quests. I’m mixed on it. There are still some of them and It’s nice to not have progress gated behind getting x screwdrivers, but I miss, for instance, the ghoul nest or Lazar questlines. New skill and perk system is better, although I don’t think either really was that impactful. There are some cool new guns and the boar still are awful to deal with sometimes. Getting shreked from off-screen still happens a little but not too often. I think it’s a lot of fun to play right now all-in-all, despite all my criticisms. And if you play on difficulty settings where you don’t lose all your gear, it’s probably easy enough to push through the game at a reasonable pace too.
Thanks for the info. I do intend to give it another go when I have time and it would definitely be nice not to have to keep returning to an area trying to find one specific item over and over again as that got a bit tiresome sometimes when the RNG gods were not looking down upon me favourably.
