Main Quest #63 - 24 August 2019

Company of Heroes

Company of Heroes

8/10
about 15 hours playtime
no achievements

Another game beaten thanks to Play or Pay. I was never a fan of the RTS/Strategy genre but I have to say that this was a great game. I played the campaign on easy and even then I still had trouble getting through some of these missions. The game was quite fun, although it was all very tense.

It’s a great game and I had a lot of fun playing it though I have yet to beat it fully, since I’ve been playing it on normal difficulty and there are some missions that I have had to replay several times.

Garcias

Yeah, I had to replay some missions too. I only own the base game so there were only 15 missions to play through. Don’t know how close you’re to the end!

samwise84

I think I am in 12 or 13. So pretty much near the end. Would have to look it up and get my old save game from my old PC though.

Garcias

I definitely had some trouble with both of those missions xD

The game has steam cloud. Have you tried it on your new pc to see if it has your old save?

samwise84

It has? Never actually looked if it does. I played a lot of it in 2016 and again some in 2018. But never on the newer PC. I will have to give it a try again :)
Thanks for letting me know.

Garcias

Steam page says so so it should have.
You’re welcome! Maybe if you’re able to finish it this month it will still count for the monthly theme! :)

samwise84

Not sure if I can fit it in with all the other games I am playing right now, but I will try.

samwise84

Well no cloud saves for me :(
But since I had to get something else from the old PC I got my save files today so I might really finish the game this month.

Garcias

So at least something went well! Have fun with it :)

samwise84

And I’ve beaten the campaign on normal. Just took me the rest of the day XD

Garcias

Ahah that wasn’t so bad was it? I personally had more trouble at mission 12 and 13 than 14 and 15. What about you?

samwise84

Oh definitly. 12 & 13 were horrible. I won 12 with just 1 soldier left standing O_o
Had to replay the game from mission 10 on since that was the last save I had made that was not corupted :/
But then again more of a great game. So overall not that bad. It just took a while until I knew how the controls were and how to actually play again. I checked and I played most of the game early 2017, so it’s been a while.

Mission 14 I had not trouble at all. Only had to replay mission 15 once since I forgot to join my territory with that of the allies. Had literally the whole map under control and was just missing one of the waypoints :(

Garcias

Damn, that mission 15 aspect is kinda sad to read but I’m glad that I made you finish the game ahah Another one bites the dust!

samwise84

That you did :)
Now I just have to also finish Yoku’s Island Express, Vanquish (act 4 out of 5) and The Wolf Among Us (at around 60% done) this month and I’m happy. But I’m on a good way in all three. Need to kill some more backlog XD

Garcias

Well you still have three days, I don’t know if you can finish all three but there’s still time to make some good progress on all of them :)

samwise84

I think at least two out of three should be doable, considering I’m still on vacation 😉

Garcias

Then I wish you the best of luck and will wait for your update to know if you succeeded or not ahah :D
