Monthly Update #8: December



Happy New Year!!!

This month was a month of highs and lows gaming wise. I ended up getting VR and having a lot of fun. Then my right controller broke Christmas day! So no VR at the moment while I get that sorted. I won A Plague Tale: Innocence after this on the same day from one of you lovely people here (A Secret, Secret Santa), so thank you so much, you really made my day :D

Special thanks to my Secret Santa who gifted me Tilt Brush! I already have experimented with it a bit, and just need to find out how to import reference images to try create something with it :P If you haven't seen them already, some of the screenshots of this game on Steam are amazing!

I hope everyone has had a great holidays and has a happy new year!

Bugged achievement! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Essentially I need to get to a rock that is hidden under a lake. You can only access this during Summer (people seem to think it should be daytime after 1pm), but the lake isn't draining. sigh
I might have to restart the game and see if I can get it to work, as nothing else people have suggested in the forums have worked…

Otherwise it's a relaxing and enjoyable game to play! Just a minor complaint of there being no way to hide the UI… My screenshot on the first tab of this post was taken by switching to the menu and quickly taking the screenshot in that second the UI closes to open the menu.

First achievement I got before even opening the game, so it seems achievements are a bit bugged for this. Decided to just play through the story and maybe come back if I want to deal with bugged achievements…. Story is average. The whole changing orientation of gravity with the rooms was trippy, but cool.

I've done a lot of flicking between games to see what I like, especially in VR, so haven't really listed a lot of games I tried less than half an hour of. I did attempt Budget Cuts, but so far have found it underwhelming. Superhot I've also had an issue with and have had to install a previous version due to a known bug where your hands are in the floor! Synth Riders is like Beat Saber except with punching, and you really feel the workout in your legs quicker. Space Pirate Trainer is pretty fun

Mostly this month my time has been in Halo, Yonder and Beat Saber. Some more grinding in Children of Zodiarcs to work towards 100% completion, but at the rate thats going it might be another year :P

That such a good secret santa gift! Hope you enjoy it! Hope you get your controller working again soon!

I know right! I’m pretty keen to see if I can draw in 3D lol. I was going to purchase it, so Secret Santa made a great choice :)
I’ve actually sent my controller back by Fedex yesterday, so hoping I get it fixed or a replacement back soon!

aonrao

Oh you got Astronauts! Tell me if you like it. It’s on my wishlist :)
Also, now that you’re almost done with Yonder… do you think I should get it? :D
And so many many many additions!

Jaded

Hahaha there are always so many additions! But yes I recommend Yonder. It’s such a relaxing game. (Minus the bugged achievement at the end for me haha)
I just managed to trade for Autonauts yesterday so hoping it’s good :)

aonrao

I knew something was wrong with the name Astronauts… LOL
It’s early in the morning, that’s why :P And yay! What did you trade it for?

Jaded

bahaha see I didn’t even notice! You could have gotten away with it..!
I ended up trading Stormworks and Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut for it. Game I got from GMG’s wheel and a bundle game from Fanatical lol

aonrao

You could have gotten away with it..!

Sad… I gave myself away! :D
I never heard of those games, so good job :P

Jaded

haha yeah I was never going to play them so success!

For a second there I thought I was on the National Geographic website with the yellow border design. :D

Shame about yonder, but I guess that’s what SAM is for in case game is just bugged and determined to screw you over because of it.

Happy New Year, mate. Have a great time.

Jaded

Haha thought I’d try something different :P

I managed to get the last achievement in Yonder!! After hours of trying, ended up playing another game and decided to check one more time before I went to bed, and there it popped finally!

Have a great New Year! :)
