Factorio
Worst game
Well I reupped my PS Plus for Fall Guys and my first impression is āI shouldnāt have gone in blind.ā Seems like a fun enough party game but I donāt like it as much as a solo experience. Probably wonāt get that into it but not having that much regret after paying $36 for another year of PS Plus tbh.
Speaking of multiplayer games, anyone try Hyper Space yet? Saw a trailer and it looks sweet, free to download so Iāll probably be trying it out this weekend.
Its strangely addictive. I also went in fairly blind and sucked my first ten runs, but I had to keep trying to get to the next game. Finally got a crown about 50 games in
I played the hell of it solo for the past 3 nights and have thoroughly enjoyed it, but itās starting to get a bit stale. Girlfriend is coming over today and Iām looking forward to playing it with her and have told a couple friends/family who are into gaming about it and can hopefully get some of them interested b/c I think the majority of the value of the game is in getting a party online.
Also seems like a great game to just pop in for 10 minutes to wind down after a tilting poker session.
Most people donāt seem to like the team games, but theyāre some of my faves. Mostly I think I just enjoy fucking over other teams. Like in that āpush the ball across the finish lineā game Iām always to dude trying to trap the other teamās ball in a corner instead of helping my own team.
Some of the games are fun, but you learn them to the point where thereās no risk of not going thru (Slime Climb) other than if complete madness happens and you get shoved around.
The tail grab levels are also frustrating b/c the tail grab mechanic seems so off. Sometimes I canāt grab from a foot away whereas opponents get grabs from 5 feet away.
I also hate Fall Mountain as a finishing level. Way too short and really dependent on starting position. I must have played it a dozen times and I swear 11 of those I started in the 2nd row. The one time I had the best starting position some asshole grabbed me seconds into the race, which doesnāt even help him, it just fucks me over.
Iām looking forward to seeing what changes they make going forward and new levels based on user feedback.
Fall guys is fun, but they need like 5x as many maps as they currently have. And the constant falling over when people bump into you while you jump is very tilting.
Totally agree on the maps. They need to at least double it pretty quickly as many have gotten stale. The memory game is useless, the fruit one is pretty dumb. Some others like the hidden path game need the mechanics tweaked. Like somehow rewarding the players who unlock the path rather than just having everyone follow.
I donāt mind the falling over though. I wouldnāt say itās constant and itās part of the charm of the game. At this point, I can get thru Slime Climb 100% of the time on my own, but throw in the madness of 30 other people and you never know what will happen and that makes it fun imo. You can also experiment with the jump+dive combo to get beyond the group in a lot of instances.
Slime climb is exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote that haha. Iāve made it past the second set of blocks pushing out of the wall like 2-3x ever. Itās just a madhouse right there with half the people trying to cut the corner and jump up to the first platform, which means I can never ever jump to that platform without being knocked down. Grrr
Factorio is a game I always come back to when I havenāt played anything in a while.
Slime Climb Iām probably 95% to qualify, itās one of my best maps. Unless Iām one of the first 2-3 to get to an obstacle, Iāll usually just step back for a second and let the masses all jump at once and knock each other around, there will usually be a window where you can have a go relatively unimpeded. Especially once the slime has risen a bit, most of the field will either have moved on or been eliminated so there should almost always be a fair chance to get through an obstacle.
Fossil is seems like youāve been playing a lot of Fall Guys and not a lot of Crosscode? Probably just an oversight on your part
LOL, Fall Guys came out of nowhere and grabbed my attention, but going forward probably only gonna play when I get a group to play with online.
CrossCode Iāve put in about 90 minutes and seems solid so far so Iām looking forward to diving in more soon.
Iām now on the second big dungeon in crosscode. The dungeons are loooooong
The one in the desert? Man, some of the new techniques are tough to get a handle on
Nice!
Help, where do I go after the fajro temple? It mentioned somewhere in autumnās rise but I dont know where.
I believe the red flame shade can open the path to autumnās rise. Youāll want to go to the fountain at rookie harbor and find Emile. After that, I think you go east and north from the fountain to get to the next section.
If youāre already in Autumns Rise you need to find the bird statue. Itās in one of the first few screens of Autumns rise
Thanks!
Here I am getting my butt kicked by snowmen
