I believe that's all for today's post, but if you want, you can check my long (but not so long) list of never played games and maybe recommend me something?
My favourite games from your “Never played” list are definitely the Telltale games (probably in this order: Tales From The Borderlands, The Wolf Among Us, The Walking Dead Season 2, Game of Thrones”).. Other games I really loved are Mafia 2 and Tomb Raider!
Welcome to the club! :-)
I shall give The Wolf Among Us a try after I finish Party Hard maybe!
I’m currently watching a Mafia 1 walkthrough so I can play Mafia 2 too! Hehe thank you!!
Welcome to the Legion Godciaz! Hope you feel at home here and can fight your backlog!
Haha you are doing well on DS then… 3 deaths at Taurus is fair enough (I died like… I don’t know, 10 times I guess - can’t remember ‘cause was a long time ago)
From your Never played list, I really recommend Bioshock 2, Tomb Raider, Hitman Absolution and Darksiders (amazing games)! Ahh, and if you want something short, you should try LIMBO :D
3 Deaths till now because I haven’t yet defeated him! :(
I tried Bioshock 1 but couldn’t get into it so I’ll give the franchise a little bit of time to rest and return to it later. Tomb Raider and Hitman I’m probably gonna save them to when I can play them at max settings (I own a laptop with an i5 5200u and an Geforce 840m, it sure can play some games but not all of them).
Limbo is now in the soon to be played list. Thanks for your suggestions Douglas!
Let me know if you need tips while playing… maybe I know one thing here and there haha or not D:
Ohh, hard to find people saying that about Bioshock… like, for me, it is on my, idk, top 10 favorite games I guess. Ohh, you gonna love to play Hitman and Tomb at max settings… they are just amazing!
Have fun playing Limbo though… is is a really nice game, and even if you go to 100%’d it, will be still fun ;3
Anytime Godciaz! Again, welcome and good luck with your backlog :D
I went ahead and played a little more and actually defeated him at like the 6th try so not that bad! btw do you actually know how to co-op? I have a friend of mine that has already played almost all of the game but I wanted to play with him now that I’ve got a controller :/
I know! I got a little sad cause I couldn’t get into it but maybe it wasn’t the right game for me at the time you know!
I personally don’t like to beat a game down to get 100% (seems like a waste of time to me when every thing I win with it is just an achievement but yeah).
Thank you again!
Ohh, well, DS has the worst co-op system ever, in my opinion hahaha, but these days, thanks to one mod, is everything working how it should always work Discussion about DSCM mod
And in-game, you need the white soapstone (you get it with Knight Solaire, after beat Taurus \o) (just keep going after its fight and when you reach a bridge, turn around and he will be there, looking the sun)
Now, before everything, you need to be human to summon your friend, and not defeated the boss at the area where you want to summon him.
To summon him, just ask him to put his sign down on the ground (using white soapstone) and then you can see his sign and summon \o
Or if you want to go on his world and help him, you need to put your sign down.
Ahh, and last but not less important, your level and your friend’s level need to be close Check here the summon range
Let me know if I made myself clear D: and feel free to ask me something else :D
Yup that was 100% clear! I’ll give it a try tomorrow.
And how am I human? :D
Hmm, you need to go and sit at a bonfire then use the option “Reverse Hollow” or something like that (but only if you have Humanity in your inventory)
Oh that easy? Ahah thank you!
Well, it was awful before that guy makes the mod… I can’t count how much times I tried to play this game with a friend but was just impossible to summon/be summoned D:
You’re welcome… lemme know if you need something else :D
I’m currently trying to do this. However my friend has windows 10 installed and can’t alt tab the game to run dscm. Do you happen to know a way to fix this?
Hmm, I don’t know QQ because he even can open dscm first, but even so, he needs to tab out to add your steam url on dscm ;(
The game crashes when he tabs out?
Its bugs out, he can return but he can’t do anything when he gets back to the game.
Told him to reinstall the game and install dsfix (apparently he wasn’t using it yet). Will wait to see how it goes.
D: never heard about it, but I don’t use Windows 10, so I never had this issue :(
Hope that reinstalling and installing dxfix (a must for this game these days) make it work fine and you two can play :D
I will be glad if I can help with something else :D
Hello and welcome! If you’re wondering what to play next, Nellyneko just posted about our new monthly theme. Participating in the theme is always voluntary, ofcourse. I recommend to check it out, maybe you’ll find something nice to play from the theme list.. Life is Strange or Back to the Future, for example? :)
Yup, I have seen it and thinking of picking up Back to the Future after I finish Party Hard! (not too far away from that actually, I’ll probably finish it tomorrow xD)
That should be interesting since I really enjoyed the movies!
I only own the first episode of Life is Strange so I can’t really use it for the monthly theme, or can I?
And thank you!!
Welcome!
I have to agree with the recommendations people have already made, they’re all excellent games.
If it helps, none of the Fallouts are particularly sequential in nature. Each story stars a new character with the occasional reappearance of NPCs.
Thank you! (And thank you for your html guides, I haven’t worked with it for a few years but now it’s all coming back xD)
I have to start killing the backlog since apparently I own so much excellent games!
Welcome Garcias! Out of your never played list, I’d recommend Sid Meier’s Civilization V if you prefer strategy, or LIMBO if you prefer platformers.
Thank you! A friend of mine recommended me the dlcs first so I think I’ll wait for the next sale and buy them and then give it a go!
Limbo appears to be fantastic with so many recommendations. Thank you one more time.
Welcome to BLAEO :) Good luck with yor backlog fight!!
From your never played, my favorite is Fallout New Vegas, Tales from the Borderlands and The walking dead season 2 (if you’ve played season 1). Oh, and Life is stange. (overall you have a lot of good stuff in there so i’m sure you’ll get different recs from other members too).
Thank you!!
I’m holding on Fallout New Vegas because I like to play all games in order and I haven’t yet seen Fallout 2 (too old for me to play so I’ll just watch a walkthrough on youtube) and I’m yet to buy Fallout 3 goty (bethesda sucked at summer sales).
I have played TWD Season 1 (as you can see in my completed category) but I wanna play another Telltale game in between, and kinda want to play Borderlands 1 and 2 before Tales from the Borderlands.
And Life is Strange is the first free episode (although I have acess to a friend’s account who owns the whole game).
Thanks for your input! (Even though I discarded almost all of them xD)
