CJ’s event that will let me enter for BG3 is taking my time away from old wins and old unfinished games I was going to work on this month… upside is I am working on my last one now for that event… so I should be able to at least clear some of those wins.

I loved and hated this game

Click to expand

overall this game was enjoyable but there was definitely some aspects I hated.
mostly the absolute need to use the parrys to defeat one of the bosses… I think a good 1/7th of my playtime was the 2nd to last boss… where you have to get good at parrys or you just won't succeed. Also so many things are so well hidden I know I didn't get many of the relics or w/e they were called that let you actually explore everything.

Upside if I ever choose to replay this… I know there are many hidden secrets for me to discover that I never discovered, I know one of them lies in the statues that let you clear your guilt because I noticed I was able to hit them… no idea what happens if I keep hitting/break them.

Definitely do want to play the 2nd one, cheap bundle when?

I thought there was going to be a little more to this, ultimately was a bunch of essentially fetch quests, a few weird segments of cooking things for quests and the scavenger hunt for all the animals.
I felt obligated to 100% this when your 90% upon beating the game.
glad I didn't pay for this at least.

Not to much to say here
Super short and enjoyable, didn't realize I was going to miss so many achievements on a blind playthrough.

The great detective is doing his work

this is my #6 for CJ's monthly event
I still don't know if I like this game, there are pieces I like, there are pieces I dislike.

really do enjoy that they give you a skip button(at least in the easy mode) for things that can lead to failure/character portraits that auto completes them after a short period of time/number of failures so you can focus on doing the actual detective parts of the game.

did experience a couple issues, first … the dreaded camera spin with no input, fortunately a solution was found here https://steamcommunity.com/app/350640/discussions/0/3003304160969089624/ … looks like it might fix it for many games, I have enough game locked away for this issue I will test it on soon enough(borderlands pre sequel… the 1st borderlands just appears to be a lost cause for me).

second was the game crashed and when reloading the save file it automatically CTD'd… fortunately going back 1 autosave was able to fix that and only had to redo a few minutes of game.


now some ancient… and newer wins/unfinished games I am hoping to get to this month, Danganronpa 2… is taking a backseat for next month to continue.

Half-Life 2

BioShock Infinite

8.2 hours
9 of 80 achievements

this game I got for "free" ages ago when I bought a new GPU, I was enjoying it alot… then I accidentally clicked restart from last checkpoint or w/e its called… there was no confirmation box and I lost 30 minutes of progress and uninstalled out of frustration.
dear devs… please have confirmations on things that can make you lose progress
mid priority on unfinished games

Half-Life 2
last time I played this... it wasn't fully released

Starbound

60.0 hours

this is something I picked up during early access/steam greenlight because I enjoyed terraria and wanted something slightly different.
along with edge of space(this one was a major flop)…

will be nice to get back in and see how it turned out in full release, lowest priority of everything I want to try and squeeze into this month
