  I just want to say that I'm happy the game let me cheese escaping a trap room full of fire by sending all my companions back to camp, and then with my fire-resistant Tiefling, just running thru solo. lol

  @sentinel-beach said in Trophies & Achievements: weird dialogue options here and there, for instance. One trophy runs through all three games, too, Wait a second... does it involve a step-ladder?

  Previews about this game are out (I only have read IGN's). I really like that the aiming to gain speed thing is purely timing based, it could make the exploration feel rhythmic in a fun way.

  I'm definitely not in the camp of people who think FFXVI even looked poor. FFVII Remake had like some of the best graphics ever produced on consoles with steamless cutscene to gamplay integration. Obviously if a sequel looks "worse" then its a bit jarring, but I'd rather just get more high quality FF games than spend years optimizing so it the game actually runs the insanely good graphics. Plus we live in a world where Infinity Ward puts out a cutting edge game (i.e. COD 4 Modern Warfare) then Activision follows it up with a sequel that has significantly worse performance, graphics, and animation in almost every way (COD World At War), and nobody seemed to notice or care. Treyarch games to this day still look worse than their counterparts and people don't notice or complain.

  Monster Hunter Generations: Cool ideas for flagship monsters, Monster Hunter World could've done more than Glavenus Hunter arts are effective options that go along well with the old fashioned gameplay style of the mainline games, Valour style though is lots of fun but only for Switch. So many callbacks to previous entries in the series It isn't locked to a 3DS system anymore

  Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below just keeps coming to mind for me.

  @themarcv It did incredibly well in sales so I'm sure we'll see more. Fun fact: the game is set in the Syphon Filter universe.

  2020 has been a shit show for many reasons but I actually managed to get through a small handful of games and some of them were pretty damn long. I was originally skipping this tread cause I didn't think I'd play more than one game, but I actually turned it around the past few months. My Completed Games of 2020 - In Order DOOM (2018) Final Fantasy VII Remake The Last of Us: Part II Mass Effect 2 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 Remastered The Outer Worlds Tell Me Why Until Dawn (4th playthrough) Total: 8 Gonna try to wrap up: Divinity Original Sin II, Final Fantasy VII, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, and Judgement before Cyberpunk 2077 consumes the rest of 2020.

  Other than the entirety of Far Cry 2? Pretty much this part of God of War III. I think its this part. I just remember this small confined area and some mini-bosses and on the hardest difficulty, you pretty much can't take more than a few hits. I don't let games get me too frustrated, but I whipped my controller at the couch. This took me HOURS. Youtube Video

  @jdincinerator Nah I mean a sequel. I feel satisfied enough to put this down without playing DLC, but in terms of sequel potential, there is a lot. Essentially, the story wraps up but they leave an obvious sequel option right there on the table. I bet it'll happen.

  @themarcv If i remember the first demo came out around a TGS appearance, and the second one popped up like 2 weeks before release. I do remember that first demo left a bad impression for me but I can't recall why exactly, but that second demo I played it practically nonstop during all my free time, which led to me being vastly overleveled in the final game, since the last few quest you complete in the demo are around level 15 I think.

  @phbz I can definitely sympathize. It's really easy to sort of attach a generation or a console to a period of your life and look back at it with all of those feelings attached. The games we played with certain people, and the places we had those memories are something that will stick with us just like the games we played on those systems, and I definitely have both good and bad sentiments looking back. I just hope that we can all build good memories together with the next set of consoles. I guess it's sort of a 'New Years' mentality, where when something new is on the horizon, it's easy to either be incredibly optimistic or look back with a little bit of cynical depression. We've all been through some tough times lately, so I just hope to try and have positive experiences and try to provide them for those around me with these new games. Here's hoping things look up friend. The EZA community definitely is a good place to find comfort and love and respect in uncertainty for times now and to come. Apologies for the tangent! Didn't mean to rant.

  @bam541 I'm playing thru a mission or two at a time currently and I've been enjoying it, definitely hitting on my love of old mobster flicks.

  Sid Meier's Covert Action 1990 Covert Action places you in the role of a CIA agent going after criminal organisations around the world. You'll try to solve active cases trying to get those involved before the plot is successful. You'll collect clues, gather evidence and arrest the suspects through several game modes that go from (but not limited to) decoding text messages, solving logic (circuit) puzzles to breaking into buildings to gather evidence or arrest suspects. It offers infinite replayability as cases are randomly generated and the number of variants are plenty (yet some repetition is inevitable the more you play it). Although the idea of randomness might sound off-putting in truth Covert Action feels incredibly dynamic as once on a case, it evolves in an organic way with the player being able to approach it in a number of different ways without compromising success. This is an incredible well designed game with near perfect pacing. Each case is fairly quick to solve with every step until completion satisfying enough to keep you going for that sweet satisfaction of successfully closing a case and thinking to yourself... ok maybe one more, until all bad guys are in jail. I would kill for a modern remake. No need for a big budget facelift just bring it to 2020 technical standards. You can get it on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/327390/Sid_Meiers_Covert_Action_Classic/ GoG https://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_covert_action
