    I finished this over the weekend. I still can't stop thinking over stuff despite that. There's one puzzle type that I thought I had figured out, and for the most part I had, but then I came to one that I just couldn't get.

    The white panels you find on the ground with the yellow triangles. I've solved each of those I've come across, but when you get into the cave for the challenge, the pillar that combines the single and double triangles - I just don't seem to get it. Is the rule not how many spaces you allow between lines around that tile?

     

    I quite liked the sound puzzles, although what appears to have been the last one in the jungle gave me a hard time considering there was so much overlapping audio.

    A big part was I just couldn't bring myself to care about anything that was happening.

     

    The enthusiasm people, namely the Thumbs, have for the series really makes me want to give it a fair go. At $5, I can handle potential disappointment.

     

    Thanks for the input!

    I just noticed there's a Far Cry sale on the PSN store. I've got very limited experience with the series, having only really played the original and then a bit of 4 which I didn't like. Got Blood Dragon via PS+ but haven't played yet.

    Which would be the best game to start on, knowing I won't be able to mod anything?

    Far Cry 2 Ultimate is $5.25 and the same for 3 is $12.50.

    Do we need to start a wrong thread thread?

     

     

     

    I like some of Girl on Guy, Aisha Tyler's podcast, but the funnier/better episodes are the ones where she doesn't have a comedian on.

     

    Girl on Guy was one of my favorite podcasts early on, but when it became more interview focused rather than them just bullshitting and having fun, it lost me.

    After getting a beta invite ages ago and my pc not being able to run it, I'm finally able to play this. I couldn't stand DOTA back on Warcraft 3, but after dabbling in some mobile and console LoMas, I think they work for me now. Did some tutorials and did a few bot matches to get used to the game and I am digging it.

    Imperial Assault is pretty stacked against the rebels. As you progress though, new skills and equipment make it less of an uphill battle. You also have side missions that come up that don't net you a large reward, but stop the Empire from growing even more powerful (which so far has always been the right thing to do).

    Nice! We've got a campaign of Imperial Assault going every other week. I really like the streamlining of the Descent rules they made for it. Makes everything go nice and fast. It's actually not all that fiddly and they're pretty clear with the rules, which is an improvement over Descent I'm very glad for. We've had to stop maybe once to check for a clarification that came down to the player interpreting something in his favor when he shouldn't have.

    Keep in mind you're 7 hours into a 50+ hour game. The minute to minute game is not what makes the game as great as it is. If you're not liking the writing (which it reads like you aren't), this game might just be Not For You.

     

    I never liked Gwent so I skipped it entirely aside from the first time it comes up. Combat opens up a little as you get more signs and abilities from spending skill points. I never found quests to be tedious, aside from one where I had to find something in a large area and I just kept missing it. Witcher sight stuff could have been improved, but the majority of the time it works just fine.

    Picked this up on PSN sale last week. I've made it to world B. Picked up a handful of stars along the way. Really enjoying the puzzles, though some of the stars have me completely stumped. Found one that required interaction between two puzzle rooms, so I'm sure it'll just escalate from there.

    I was curious to know if this would have cross-platform play, and found this:

    By playing Helldivers, every player (both PC and PlayStation players) in the world participates in the same global meta campaign called the Galactic Campaign.

    which makes it sound like it would, but then:

    There is no cross-play between PC and PlayStation.

    Which is unfortunate. I'd love to have an even larger playerbase.
