Book 1 was really good, but Book 3 is also pretty great and I recommend skipping s02 entirely. e; vv okay yeah, the Wan episode is great.

I don't really care about how many cliches the creators end up mashing together as long as they do it well, seriously. And Korra isn't even anime, it's western animation  .

EVERY time Dota 2 updates, it freezes at a certain percent (different every time) and stops updating. I do these things repeatedly until somehow, magically, the download completes: * Verify local cache * Change region/download speed cap * Delete BLOB * flushconfig It used to be sometimes that this would happen, but the last month or so it's been every single time there's an update, no matter how small, Steam freezes. Any ideas on how I can fix this? It's infuriating.

If you decide to do a game challenge it might seem like a good idea to include some bad games you can write off easily, but really they'll kill your will to play harder than anything else. I even took screenshots of today's games but they were so ugly and boring I didn't bother uploading them. The 31 1. Alien: Isolation 2. Year Walk 3. Deadlight 4. Adventures of Shuggy 5. Atom Zombie Smasher 6. Alan Wake's American Nightmare 7. Infected: The Twin Vaccine - Collector's Edition 8. How to Survive 9. 1953 - KGB Unleashed I actually had high hopes for this one. I'm pretty forgiving of point-and-click games, and honestly more things should make use of the brutal, almost alien Soviet aesthetic. It started well enough, with my character waking up in the bowels of some Cold War bunker with only emergency lighting to guide him. The rooms are pre-rendered and you can pan your view around to examine them, but movement is solely clicking through different static scenes. There is shockingly little to interact with in each scene, and your character will only comment on things that block his progress, and infrequently at that. The atmosphere starts out plenty oppressive and mysterious, but the puzzles and the terrible voice acting quickly do away with that. And my God, the puzzles. It took me over 10 minutes to solve the very first one in the game because you have to find a loose panel under your feet in the dark, and then solve a math problem based on a number you might not have paid any attention to. I quit in the area after that after finding a punch card, a pencil, a key that did not unlock any of the three locked doors nearby, and a radio that you could tune that might be a puzzle. I can't see anyone but the most meticulous puzzling grognards having fun with this. If your dream game is boring, obtuse Soviet MYST, then you might like it. Otherwise don't bother. 10. Burn Zombie Burn! How many zombie murderfest games are there on Steam now? Probably enough that you don't need to worry about one that came out over 4 years ago. Burn Zombie Burn has exactly one interesting mechanic, and that's that you get a melee attack that sets zombies on fire. Every zombie currently on fire adds one to your score multiplier, and killing a burning zombie can yield better powerups. However, burning zombies move faster, hit harder, and if they burn to death award you no points. So if you want to be grandmaster of zombie murder, you have to balance setting zombies on fire against mowing them down. Outside of that, you have a standard assortment of guns and chainsaws and bombs. There are some unique zombie types you've seen before like exploding ones and armored ones. You can trigger a special event for each level like the zombies doing the Thriller dance if you get high enough combos with a single weapon. The graphics are ugly cartoony, and the blood spray particle effect wouldn't render for me so I got black boxes every time I hit a zombie. Your character's hair looks like poop. Seriously, play something else.

Pierzak posted:Except that every single thing you do has its tempo. Step, step, step, turn, step, turn, strike, strike, step... It's not like you can rush it, and I'm bad at optimizing the sequence. IIRC you can cheese it pretty easily with quicksaves. And you gotta make your party quickly of course. E: Seems like the download for the sequel is up now.

Palpek posted:If you decide to just let it go - at least play the big story DLC as it's a pretty cool self-contained package that goes nuts with the idea of Waschington becoming a tyrant, mind-controlling Franklin and building a giant pyramid in the middle of New York. Can you actually climb this pyramid? This will be the deciding factor towards me buying the dlc.

Ddraig posted:It's a very good technical achievement, I'll give them that, but it's sort of like RAGE in that respect in that you sort of wish a better game would have been built around that. Let me get this clear, you're comparing Shadows of Mordor with Rage?

Hav posted:Let me get this clear, you're comparing Shadows of Mordor with Rage? If anything, Shadow of Mordor is like the first Assassin's Creed. Except that it's way less repetitive and the Nemesis system leads to some actual emergent narratives during gameplay that keep the game fun. Unless all you're interested in is the scripted story-driven bits.

VodeAndreas posted:AC3... I'm still playing it out of some misguided need to complete the series. Let's point out that Connor is Jesus and is responsible for every single victory in the United States Revolution. The thing I love about other AC games is that they tend to just use the time and setting as a backdrop for their own story. AC3 just bastardizes that idea and places the main character as the primary catalyst for every single historical event it can, rather than just having him be a spectator doing his own poo poo while happening upon the big stuff. Don't even get me started on Paul Revere...

Palpek posted:You don't get to climb it from the outside but you go to the top when you're inside. And there goes any hope of me ever getting the DLC.  Also, Korra is mostly fantastic television. It had a hiccup in the first half of Season 2 but it course corrected and has been really amazing since.

I've gotten 3 legendaries so far, 2 were just from random enemies. Haven't seen any in chests nor from bosses. There's also a grinding system where you can create new weapons, with a good chance for a better tier one.
