Agamon Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 XB1 Tell Me Why (213 min) PC Complex, The (92 min) Crusader Kings III (1093 min) Oculus Quest Beat Saber (305 min) FitXR (122 min) Still on the narrative game kick. I played the second chapter of Tell Me Why, as well as The Complex, which is called a FMV game, but these days that just means a movie interspersed with choices. The lead is played by Michelle Mylett, Katy from Letterkenny, one of my favorite shows, so that's pretty cool. And as far as an indie movie goes, it wasn't terrible. And, CK3 is finally out, so I expect that will be on my list for the next few weeks. There's something about building a medieval empire and then making sure your heir isn't a bumbling idiot or that your realm isn't split 13 ways between family members when you die. Good times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 No modern gaming in my household once again this past week. In fact, the only thing I played at all was a few Atari 2600 games for the High Score Club. Ah well, it's still some time logged for the classic tracker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltigro Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Just one game for me this week... XBox Fable - 553 min (Got through the tournament stage and met Jack of Blades, if you're familiar with the game. I'm doing all the things I think are "good" (as opposed to "evil") in the game, so when given the option to kill my school mate or whatever she is in the tournament, I spared her. Stopped right after the cut scene, so not sure what happens next.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Android Phone: QBlock / Block Puzzle [Studio Beetles] - 26 min. A lazy half hour in bed on a Saturday noon before finally getting up to go shopping. I noticed the jury in the MSXdev contest reviewed the Block Puzzle game there as something new and refreshing, which was how I thought too before I entered the Google Play Store a few weeks ago and saw there are 13 on a the dozen of these games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Finally some modern gaming time logged this week! In addition to my usual Atari 2600 HSC time logged and an hour or so of Alien 3 on the Game Boy (I didn't beat it but got pretty far into it), I spent a nice leisurely bit of time with the newest expansion for Doom II on the Switch. Ineligible Alien 3 (Game Boy) - 69 minutes Doggone It!

Agamon Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) PC Crusader Kings III (1189 min) Starship Commander: Arcade (13 min) XB1 Tell Me Why (209 min) Oculus Quest FitXR (88 min) Beat Saber (422 min) Continuing my conquest of Britannia with my kingdom of Ireland, which is going...okay, I guess. Still getting used to the differences between CK3 and CK2. The final chapter of Tell Me Why came out this weekend, so I finished it up and found the whole ting pretty enjoyable. The puzzles were head-scratchers, but not difficult enough to have to give up and look online, which was nice, and only one of the mini games was annoyingly difficult. On VR, I tried a game called Starship Commander: Arcade, which uses voice and eye-tracking as controls. Pretty cool, if very short, experience. I believe it was created for VR arcades (hence the name), and ported to Steam. Edited September 15, 2020 by Agamon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 PS4 Beach Buggy Racing 5 hours. I've owned this 2 years and decided to beat the entire game, of which there are many races. The game crashed trying to save, and I lost hours of gameplay progress on the save file (it reverted to an older version??? Not sure what happened). So I played some more, but every 5 races or so I'd reboot the game (maybe there is a memory leak if you play too long at one time, I thought). Beat the final 1000cc race/boss, also had enough money to level-up some extra vehicles to 500cc and 1000cc and try them out. I like the surf guitar soundtrack and the many beachfront locations of the races, makes it unique. But I think I'm done with the game now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Pendleton Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) So it seems that the Mario games in the new Switch collection are emulated and not ported, so they get listed as their old systems and not Switch. Wii Super Mario Galaxy - 86 GameCube Super Mario Sunshine - 239 Vita Kangokutou Mary Skelter - 1448 Finale got delayed, so I got the original Japanese Vita version on Monday. The maps are unbelievably huge in this version (or are they just ultra tiny in its remake?) and they made quite a few changes in its remake, which is why I wanted to play the original version, as it's essentially a different game... there is a certain other spoilers-type reason to play this version instead of its remake, though. It looks really good on both my Vita and my Vita TV, but as usual with Compile Heart, and Compile Heart Vita games in particular, the only thing lower than the budget is the framerate...

+wongojack Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 PS2 Muppets Party Cruise 73 Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 12 I tried MPC on a whim and found it an enjoyable little party game in the spirit of Mario Party. I would actually enjoy playing this with some friends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 A pretty excellent week for gaming around here this past week! While continuing my play through of the latest Doom II expansion on the Switch (and as a note to @carlsson apparently the Switch version is not called "Back to Saturn X" as I logged it last week, it's simply "BTSX Episode 1") I also spent quite a bit of time on Atari 2600 HSC games. I really enjoyed all 3 of the new homebrew games last round, and I've always loved paddle controller games so this current round is proving to be tons of fun and I'm sure next week's will be as well! For the spousal unit's gaming time this past week she did a full play through of Ristar on the Genesis for the first time and really enjoyed it. Ristar is definitely one of those often overlooked classics that any fan of the 16-bit era of gaming should check out, and now I'm thinking I might have to do a play through of it myself next week. Ineligible City Defence (Atari 2600) - 27 minutes Circus Atari (Atari 2600) - 119 minutes Ms. Galactopus (Atari 2600)- 20 minutes Ristar (Sega Genesis) - 234 minutes Warlords (Atari 2600) - 38 minutes Nintendo Switch Doom II: BTSX Episode 1 - 370 minutes Total Video Game Play Time This Week 808 minutes (13 hours 28 minutes) [370 minutes eligible] Individual System Play Times This Week Nintendo Switch: 370 minutes Sega Genesis: 234 minutes Atari 2600: 204 minutes 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agamon Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 PC Crusader Kings III (751 min) Hypnospace Outlaw (97 min) Tabletopia (194 min) Oculus Quest Beat Saber (490 min) FitXR (89 min) In CK3, I'm continuing to try and form Britannia through Irish rule, Wales and Scotland are pretty much mine, but England was conquered by the Norse, creating the Empire of Danelaw, so it's not just England I'd be fighting...time to get creative with some alliances, I think. My current ruler is super diplomatic, nobody can hate him for long (plus he's a nice guy, so doing cruel crap stresses him out). Played Hypnospace Outlaw last night. Uh...this game is a trip. A mix of the authoritarianism from a game like Papers Please and browsing through the gated AOL-like 90's internet. Played Dominant Species on TT on Saturday and got my ass handed to me as the Amphibians. Fun, though. In VR, I think I may take a break from FitXR. Lately, instead of just punching out at the targets at about 50%, I'm throwing like I'm trying to beat someone to death (I blame the little score numbers that shoot out; the harder, the better), and now my shoulders are giving me trouble. Might warm up with a different game this week and see if that helps. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week is dominated by a Sony system, but instead of one of those PS2, PS3, PS4 (or the most current PS5), it is the Vita that secures a double, well ahead of both Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Crusader Kings III. A nice variation of systems make the Classic and Modern trackers feature exactly as many different systems this week. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Pendleton Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Switch Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - 263 Vita Kangokutou Mary Skelter - 1297 I lost at least 2 or 3 hours of progress to many, many careless game overs this time. In the final dungeon before the post-game dungeon right now, though, so not long left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
