Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear

Lots of bad modern rpg writing with romanceable npcs and Marvel movie quip humor. Sometimes there's really good encounter design but more often than not they just throw 25 enemies at you to make it "hard". I don't see myself replaying these games this decade but next time I do I won't replay this

Burnout 2: Point of Impact - 100% Championship / 100% Custom Series Championship



The last great arcade racer and possibly my favorite video game of all time. Most people are familiar with the series because of 3, but 2 will always be special to me. I have never been able to figure out what I love so much about it but I was thinking about it this time and I think it's because it reminds me of being in a chase scene from a 90s movie. The combination of sprawling countryside tracks that transition seamlessly to busy city streets. The perfect drifting through and between midday traffic. The weighty sedan car selection that doesn't just feel like you're driving a 300mph featherweight hypercar. I absolutely love every bit of it.

super mario odyssey, cementing 2020 as The Year of Mario

this s one of those games where every time i play it i wish i could wipe my brain and play it brand new ever time. basically everything from the festival until postgame is godly gaming and everything from mario slaying a freakin' dragon onwards blew my god drat mind. 10/10 game and if its the last game i beat this year i ended on a very high note

12.6 - Stardew Valley 100% all items all money.

Was pretty fun, can see why people enjoy it so much. Ton of charm and the little animations when you get a new item are so cute. One problem I had was that time moves so slow and everything takes so long, so I found a mod that automates everything and unlocks all the items from the start and I gotta say that was a real game changer. Enjoyed my 3 hours with this game. Definitely worth the $4 when I got it in that Humble Bundle 2 years ago.

People have talked enough poo poo about this game elsewhere so I'm going to remain positive. My three favourite things about the game are:

1. I think Keanu did a really good job as Johnny and the way they worked him into the plot is really creative imo. He's written really well- I like how they didn't just lean into making him wholesome 100 Reddit guy but made him a character that's charming while still being a total piece of poo poo.

2. Even on the hosed up medium settings I had to put on to get a solid 60 FPS, the game looks incredible. Outstanding art design on everything.

3. All of the major side quests kick rear end. The serial killer one is going to stick with me for a while.

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this game, and I think the last chapter specifically is an exceptional bit of storytelling. The last time I felt this way after finishing something was reading Cloud Atlas or fully finishing Virtue's Last Reward- completely satisfied and entirely unfrustrated. I have faith that CDPR is going to patch the poo poo out of this game and release some absolutely fire DLC, and I hope you all give it a shot when they do.

ECHO (2017) - nice short game, tight mechanics, not too hard once you figure out how the AI works. The architecture is incredible, almost every level is some giant impossible baroque space that ends up extremely unnerving. My only knock against it is the story is delivered in unskippable slow walk sections

it's a neat game but it's in that category of games where I really wish there was a movie version I could have watched instead

HL1 still rocks. I missed a ton of the environmental story telling as a kid, I think I basically just brute forced my way through everything and completely missed that there are in world signs and markers telling you to go. Even after all the tweaks the arsenal is filled with a lot of duds and the last 25% of the game in Xen is still bad.

23) Dishonored (Nonlethal): it felt like it took a lot less than it did but probably cause i have insane sickness of the head and retrace my steps forty times to make sure i didnt miss 3 gold coins somewhere, but when i my end of mission report said i killed someone (i didnt!!) i would replay the stage and knowing where everything was it took me like 20 mins. really fun stuff, and i only had blink and the see enemies thru walls power, and i didnt level any of them up ebcause it was already too op... i might replay this going wilder with powers or lethal.

I've beaten 1 a few times and 2 has too mega improvements I really like. You have a stats screen in the mission that tells you if you've alerted or killed any one that mission and in the game total (separate stats). so you can actually reload if it changes all of a sudden and you've no idea how. Rather than waiting to the end of a mission to find out somehow you were spotted a mile away so you never realised.

The outsider makes his offer to you and you can decline him and play the game totally blood and bone :black101:
