ABC Fuck me(Plan)

I can count my ABC's \o/ I started work on my plan and kinda finished with the first 3


Anna's Quest

Anna's Quest

ABC ~plan Won on SteamGifts
39 of 39 achievements (100%)
8 hrs playtime


ALRIGHT starting off THIS WAS JUST AS GOOD AS I EXPECTED IT WOULD BE.
I like the dedalic games and this was rlly cute.
However some of the so called "puzzles" were idiocratic and impossible to figure out without busting out the walkthrough. Its a problem that plagues the whole point and click genre but I've had better luck with other dedalic games (I played through deponia and memoria without using a walkthrough much at all).

Blue's Score


Bastion

Bastion

ABC ~plan
6 of 24 achievements (25%)
7 hrs playtime


This was the second attack I attempted and actually the most happy I did.
Its been 2 years since I started bastion and finally being able to uninstall it/shelve it felt really good.
I found it really hard to get into but once I pushed through I had a pretty fun day.
My only problem is that after finishing I rushed straight to the final boss,
(finished the game with 20 000p) and now I'm super annoyed I didn't get a couple of the easy cheevos first. I could have easily gotten the "get the first upgrade of each type of weapon" easily for one.

Blue's Score


Crypt of the NecroDancer

Crypt of the NecroDancer

ABC ~plan Rogue/endless/multiplayer
2 of 44 achievements (5%)
5 hrs playtime


My third and final entry was crypt of the necromancer. I'm never sure when to consider rouguelikes beaten-for the most part I consider them endless even if the have a final boss. especially as as far as I'm aware (despite liking them) I'm absolutely abysmal at them. and don't think I could ever reach the end of a run.
I guess there are two reasons this entry looks so weak-one is how incredibly hard the cheevos are


my other problem was the fact that every time I tried to exit it froze my computer. I'm talking both alt tab and trying to use the menu. and by freze I mean messed up such that I can't use Ctrl + Shift + Esc to fix (or Ctrl + Alt + Del). it was getting to the point where I had to force shut down by holding the power button every time I wanted to quit. so idk.

I thought about buying Crypt of the Necrodancer for months and then it got on sale and I thought, why not. But then I started it and I realized I’m deaf and blind - no way I can play this game! :’D So that’s something that will be messing with my achievement % forever. Sad. I never had the problem you described, though, that’s weird!
Congrats on the three beats. c:

Blue Ϟ Lightning

Yeahhh ssssss I’m so bad at it I swear I must be tone deaf xd.

My problem was I was just good enough to beat the first area and get that cheevo forever having it mark againsed my completion rate :p
(Vs not even being able to beat it and having 0 cheevo to hurt me)

I really should play Anna’s Quest one day :) It looks really entertaining.

I played through deponia and memoria without using a walkthrough much at all.

Wow you’re amazing! I finished the first Deponia and looked at a guide only once however the other games in the series were impossible for me. I also found Memoria quite complicated while Chains of Satinav was much simpler for me.

Blue Ϟ Lightning

I said not much at all and bye that I mean the first deponia was really well made and all the puzzles were pretty intuitive and so was the second-think I checked once during the third one but the last one had to check 3-4 times…I was playing them with my younger siblings if that helps :3
So we were all able to make up for each other’s failings/one of us would figure it out

Blue Ϟ Lightning

Also may have meant satin av cause I’ve played through both and found on easier but can never remember which one it was >_<

Formidolosus

I already know which game you are going to play when you get to Q… :-)

Blue Ϟ Lightning

Mmmm? I have Q.U.B.E put Down currently but do pray tell what I’m going do for q

Formidolosus

Yeah that’s the one. Most people have to do Q.U.B.E. as there’s not many that start with q, and I checked your game list and confirmed it’s the only one you currently own.

Another mention of Anna’s Quest! I’ll check it out soon :)
Most achievements for Crypt of the NecroDancer are hard! But the DLC came out not very long ago, so it’s not weird the DLC-related ones are rare.

Good luck with the rest of the alphabet!

Blue Ϟ Lightning

Oh it’s not uncommon for the DLC to have less people but this is the first time I’ve seen so many 0s :p

ninglor03

Congrats on getting three of the list!

As to games that force you to kill your pc…. I kinda know that problem. I seem to attract that kind of stupid happenstance -.-

I wish you luck and much fun with the next ones!
Happy alphabet killing! ;) :)

Blue Ϟ Lightning

I desiderate to mark it as finished after killing my PC 3 times in one day asfk. Aaaaaaaaaaaa

You figured out any way to fix any of them?

I’ll Low key ive been wanting to sign up for the challenge me monthly when the second one rolls around (cause there are only a few days before the last one ends) and was thinking of requesting you cause I was curious as to what you would recommend but idk try thanks!

ninglor03

Sadly no, apart from getting them done ASAP! -.-

I would love too, so if you want me to, just do it, I’ll be happy to help our :]
And yes, I’m waiting as well! Anxiously! bounce around

Blue Ϟ Lightning

Ah yes the solution is to never leave them :p stay in game forever

ninglor03

At least until it’s done! :D

malabagaa

There, you now have an empticon to show it: ^_^

There’s also this , but it’s the first one that your comment made me think of =P

Or, you can always go with my favourite one: :D

ninglor03

Oh man! I. LOVE. IT!

Can I please save smileys somewhere and just press a button to use it???? looks around

ninglor03

Well I think we found alternative for the Challenge Me! :D

Blue Ϟ Lightning

yeah nelly is really busy right now so it might be delayed for a few more days-I still wanna get you to challenge me at some point but I’m going work on my abc challenge until then

ninglor03

Ah, so you asked? I didn’t dare after my suggestion on steam hide
We shall totally do that!
And since I have a Challenge Me! date, I will also totally play some challenges :D

Blue Ϟ Lightning

yeah I’m not in the steam group but I asked in the discord server and thats what I got >_<

ninglor03

Ah, that’s fine then :)
Whut? You dare talking with strangers? Uh, now I feel so much more shy looks for a blanket to hide underneath

Blue Ϟ Lightning

Offers suitable blanket
well mandrill is stranger yes
but I’m safe its not like I went in calls >_<
that makes me shy

ninglor03

Ha, thank you cuddlehide

Yeah, no, that’s right. But still! It’s like stumbling the first time into a ts to go raiding with mostly unknown ppl! And then it might even be in a foreign language and I might get all nervous and giggly and… oooooh goooooood! pulls the blanket up

Blue Ϟ Lightning

alsu people are rlly lewd!

asfk makeing me hide

ninglor03

Oh… so you are basically just writing?

Well, they are certainly not blue! :D

Hudath

Interesting, I thought that the puzzles were quite doable, the only one that was really difficult was the one with the piano imo, but I guess everyone has with different puzzles problems. Which puzzles did you found impossible?

Blue Ϟ Lightning

I know I’m using the wrong name cause I’m not just referring to the physical puzzles (the piano yes asfk the piano) but stuff like finding Reynard because he was the beast or realizing I had to talk to someone I had already exausted all dialogs with because another option had opened up…it wasn’t always the best at giving you clues so personally I ended up feeling like I had to “combine everything with everything else” to have gotten it.

It wasn't as bad as the wispered world at doing it but I still felt like I'd rather just forgo the satisfaction and check the walkthrough >_<

RileyHisbert

Would you mind if I tried doing an ‘ABC’ plan of my own? It sounds like a really good idea!!
All of these are games I’ve been meaning to get around to myself, so nice to see these reviews, thank you! Makes me mad I haven’t played Anna’s Quest myself yet xP

Blue Ϟ Lightning

Go ahead!
I’m happy to have influenced someone. >_<
If you go to my profile and scroll down you can find my original post (there was some helpful comments) and figure out if you want to use the same rules as me (no time limit but you have to play them in order \o/ idk)

I’d be fun reading your own posts :p
Good luck

RileyHisbert

Thanks a ton :D

Adelion

Well, Crypt of the Necrodancer looks so weak because 5 hours gameplay time is not enough time to even scratch the surface ^^ If you find the motivation to dive deeper in it you may find a really fun game. Although it is only possible if you have a general enjoyment for rhythm games.

Blue Ϟ Lightning

*alsu freezing don’t forget the freezing

Adelion

I admit that the freezing is a serious problem ^^ It makes playing rogue-likes rather disappointing but maybe it will change in the future either by the game being patched or you buying a new PC. Because the music is awesome and that isn’t music I listen to normally.

stef

What a neat idea! Would you mind if I tried this as well?
I played Transistor but not Bastion. I think I’ll get it next sale.

Blue Ϟ Lightning

one of us one of us

join usssss \o/ you can see Riley’s added a whole bunch of extra rules to his.
I think if you do join us you have to use the “play in order” rule (to truly be doing the same as us) but beyond that feel free to experiment :P
if you’re intrested people provided imput when I made the plan Here

stef

Great! Can’t wait to try it.

RileyHisbert

I have a key to Yellow: The Yellow Artifact if you still need a Y game ;)

Blue Ϟ Lightning

waaa
thanks for offering but its fine.

RileyHisbert

I mean I’ve had the key for ages and have 0 use of it, I already have the game xD But it’s up to you~
