Text of the page (random words):
respond depending on what you think they are telling you truth believe them doubt or lie the problem is you don t know exactly what cole is going to say in those situations and a lot of the time doubting them ends up accusing them of lying or withholding information it feels janky often it ends the conversation since they clam up and won t respond any more which means you fail the questioning and can lead to you failing the case i think rockstar padded the game somewhat in the middle too there was a stretch of three or four cases where nothing seemed to be happening story wise and you were just doing the same things over and over once i got over that hump my interest picked up again and the last third of the game was really good i m not sure the writing was all that great though dialogue was pretty spot on but story wise it wasn t all that satisfying most of it was predictable and there were a lot of loose ends that i don t think were sufficiently explored it felt like there was a much larger scope initially but the game got scaled back partway through i loved the premise of l a noire and the traditional rockstar strengths were what made the game enjoyable the attempt at a more linear story based game was not as successful as it could have been though bran van 3000 drinking in l a categories steam challenge uncategorized tags bran van 3000 drinking in l a l a noire permalink tue 24 may 2016 20 51 23 1100 by dahakha 4 comments spiritual gaming this post is another case of me sticking my nose in where it doesn t really belong after last week s blog topic reconciling one s religion with the hobby of gaming did the rounds it feels like an intrusion because unlike a number of the bloggers who have written about this i do not share that concern with a possible conflict between my hobbies and my beliefs it has honestly never come up in my thinking until reading the blogs of others forced me to examine my situation i am strongly agnostic i have no formal religion but i have cobbled together a loose system of moral and spiritual beliefs from the various sources i have encountered over the years if i were forced to choose a religion to identify with i suspect that i would gravitate towards a pagan wiccan or druidic form i have no idea if what i believe is the truth let alone the truth but it feels right to me plus it is always a work in progress however i have done a decent amount of reading about various religions particularly christianity thanks to karen armstrong and her history of god i feel like i have a good understanding of the way the abrahamic faiths have developed and changed over the centuries and i think i can empathise with the faithful of those religions a lot better i do have problems with the way some beliefs are framed and that has been the one major influence that religion has had on my gaming life to me the act of gaming itself is no different to any other hobby if your faith has issues with you watching movies or tv or playing competitive sports or making artwork then you should be applying the same judgement to games too but i think the main concern people of faith have with media is the content not the medium sure there were massive fears over the rise of rock and roll when it first became mainstream but nowadays christian rock is a huuuuuge genre with regards to the concern about losing oneself in gaming that you might be neglecting your faith because of it well one of the central tenets i find is useful to keep in mind in many faiths is balance you inherently know when you are out of balance and although you may not be aware what it is exactly simply stopping to examine your life and priorities should make it clearer what needs to happen to bring yourself back into equilibrium it is much harder to practise the good of your faith love joy compassion charity etc when you are out of balance and so i think it is necessary to re evaluate yourself regularly to right the ship so to speak i don t know whether any of that makes sense even to me so i ll just leave it there turns out this topic was harder to write about than i thought árstíðir heyr himna smiður

buy overwatch at launch or probably ever i decided to jump in to the recent open beta weekend and check it out at least i could get a feel for whether i might end up buying it or not yeah about that turns out my misgivings about overwatch were all justified now i am emphatically not saying that overwatch is a bad game it is as are all blizzard products highly polished quite attractive artistically and smoother than a politician contradicting themselves in the same sentence but for me that s it it s all superficial it has no depth the good the characters are great there is a nice mix of playstyles and i had great fun with tracer and mei the different abilities between characters is amazing and it really does bring the tf2 era team shooter genre forward in showing that it is possible to allow for both defensive and offensive synergies within groups granting abilities to allies like infrared vision speed boosts and shields makes an already hectic experience even more skill intensive and while it is simply chaotic to someone like me who is not experienced i can see how high echelon play will showcase mind blowing awareness timing and judgement i liked the moba style abilities that go beyond the fire alternate fire modes of many shooters it makes things way more interesting i m not sure that blizzard has nailed the balance issue yet but i guess they will improve that as time goes on the abilities go a long way to giving each hero a personality and distinct playstyle rather than simply being the healer or the tank overwatch looks amazing in that trademark blizzard cartoony aesthetic the visuals are colourful and easily distinguishable and the levels are nice and crowded for maximum cat and mouse gameplay the level design also allows for ample creative use of many hero abilities particularly the movement ones widowmaker s grapple pharah s jetpack tracer s blink hanzo s wall climbing there is plenty of opportunity to use these in interesting ways finally i loved the way that you can earn commendations for your play through a voting process at the end taking a leaf from the ffxiv playbook blizzard may hopefully be having a positive effect on community behaviour with this system i say hopefully because well it is a blizzard community combined with an fps community yeah i know that s a lot of hope the bad there are objective problems i have with overwatch and subjective ones let s start with the objective ones first the tutorial absolutely sucks you are forced to go through it as soldier 76 who has a specific suite of abilities the tutorial does a decent job of going through those with you but there are many ways it could be improved the main problem with it however is the fact that you are not told about the fact that heroes may have different uses for each of the buttons introduced for example soldier 76 has a left click fire right click alternate fire an area heal on e ultimate on q and left shift is sprint but as far as i can tell only q and left click are standard across heroes tracer s right click is her blink ability which is also keyed to left shift i e she has no sprint my friend played a hero with no right click ability reaper i think this is all cool but the tutorial does not do anything to make you aware that the controls do different things depending on which hero you are playing it makes for a more frustrating learning experience in the beginning second the commendations thing at the end of games is not intuitive at all i didn t even realise what was happening when three or four names and stats would come up and eventually one of them would be selected i thought it was the game awarding bonuses it took me half a dozen games to figure out what was going on there needs to be some explanation of the system even just a popup reminder to cast your vote would be sufficient thirdly i am incredibly pissed off that you are automatically placed in the in game voice chat channel and not only is there no option to leave with a single button there is no immediately obvious option to leave at all now fortunately for me i had no bad experiences through voice chat but holy brainfarts blizzard are you unfamiliar with the multiplayer fps community you need to be able to opt out of in game voice chat quickly and easily subjectively the problems i have with overwatch are less due to the game itself and more about the genre i hate hate hate the fact that you can change heroes mid game it is enough to turn me off the genre by itself i want your hero choice at the start to matter i want people to be forced to cobble together synergies with their teammates based on the team composition not just switch to the obviously more compatible heroes after one untimely death this issue is the single most defining feature of my decision to avoid overwatch blizzard simply can t lure me in without scrapping this mechanic or at least introducing a permanent mode that is hero locked i am extremely irritated to end a match go through commendations and then be automatically queued up with the same people for the next match i hate feeling rushed into the next game i want time to relax after my last game maybe look at my stats open loot boxes or just step away for a minute yes i know that you can leave the queue at any time but again it is not immediately obvious where that option is and i would much rather have to press buttons to enter a queue rather than leave one finally i did not feel any sense of depth from overwatch there is nothing that hooks me no progression no story or lore no reason for me to log back in on a regular basis one or two matches and i am ready to log out again it feels like i have experienced all that overwatch has to offer already again that is a genre problem not overwatch specifically but it means i will not be throwing any money blizzard s way for this game i find myself wishing they went further towards an fps moba hybrid like battleborn has maybe battleborn is where the future of the genre is at not a slightly more advanced version of the old giants cod tf2 and cs go george special ones categories gaming tags george overwatch special ones permalink wed 04 may 2016 13 34 49 1100 by dahakha leave a comment may gaming goals it feels like i haven t actually been playing much at all lately in reality it s just been hearthstone and duelyst with a little diablo iii oh and testing out a few games here and there tried titan quest didn t like it played the open beta weekend for battleborn liked it but not well enough to pay 70 for it similarly overwatch is appealing but not 90 appealing i keep thinking about tsw but never actually get around to logging in so this month i will aim to finish the shadowy forest zone and advance into the carpathian fangs there are so very many things to do in ffxiv my goals could get too ambitious very easily so without going hard at it i d like to get arcanist to 30 finish the class questline get through as much main story questline as my level allows i e hit the msq level wall get conjurer to 15 get thaumaturge to 15 unlock and play around with scholar and summoner complete the tier 1 grand company hunts so i can be promoted in hearthstone with the new standard format and the new card set i want to make a serious tilt at gaining legend rank this month pick a game from my steam list to play and complete it ideally repeat for a second game before stardew valley caught me out i was getting through two games a month fairly easily nothing really stands out to me at the moment but i am probably looking at either the witcher planescape torment mass effect dragon age origins or grim fandango i also would like to do a single playthrough of long live the queen each week i ve made my first attempt which ended with eloise taking an arrow to the knee gut and making it fatal by pushing it through rather than leaving it the hell alone it was a bit galling to get shot after i d put so much training into flexibility and reflexes stupid bandits anyway the game seems perfect for a single attempt per session the fratellis flathead categories gaming tags flathead the fratellis permalink fri 29 apr 2016 00 45 18 1100 by dahakha 4 comments coming up for air oh hi there it s been a while eh i was doing well with keeping some semblance of regular posting but then stardew valley happened i wasn t planning on getting it so soon it was supposed to just go on my wishlist and fight for a place near the top but then i recommended it to my friend s partner and she decided to gift me a copy instead and make me test the waters i felt obliged to fire it up pretty much immediately and 130 hours later i can report that yes i m a fan of it the biggest revelation for me wasn t that i would enjoy stardew valley but that i could still become obsessed with a single player game after all i played it every day for weeks and for hours at a time it never felt like a chore like i had to finish it so i could move on this is something i haven t done since my peak wow days and before that my golden era of gaming in the late 90 s early 00s with half life civ 2 age of empires baldur s gate and the like i thought i d lost the ability to binge on a game like that due to the lethargy and depression i ve been dealing with over the years so it was kind of a relief to find that i just needed the right game after all the flip side to that thought though is why aren t all these other games games that i sincerely enjoy doing the same thing for me so the last month or so has been mostly stardew valley and hearthstone can t give up the hearthstone addiction especially with the new shinies of this week s expansion i ve barely touched ffxiv and not done anything tsw related and of course the blogging has suffered too i have a bit to catch up on as i was churning through some of the bigger games on my list so i have a few impressions posts to do for those i think i have managed to resist the lure of black desert online though blizz has made a bid for my return to wow by gifting me a copy of warlords with a 7 days free offer as well as a boost to 90 i am glad to have warlords but still no desire to play it ll only happen if i get reeled in by social connections i m afraid oh and i heard that game of thrones is back on sweet categories gaming personal
