Playing L2 now, and damn this game have solid art design that still holds.
But village built around a tree and village with a HAND THAT STRIKE LIGHTNINGS are def not have the same love from level designers.
Even looks good bcs its on UE4, fine stuff
After several playthroughs, once the initial impression faded, I started thinking more about the game's structure. At first, I thought it was one of the best entries in the series. Now I think it might be one of the worst.
Individual gameplay elements are cool on their own. The press check animations, finishers with the axe, weapon takedowns: all feels great. Leon is cool. Grace is cool. The characters are potentially (potentially!) interesting. But these villians are so poorly developed. They weren’t even given cutscenes from outside the protagonists perspective to properly flesh them out as interesting individuals
Everything is structured so oddly. So awkwardly. Like the game was hastily stitched together from leftover pieces.
I played through once on normal difficulty, then replayed requiring ink ribbons. That made it more engaging. And I think the game would've been better if it were EITHER a Grace-only game OR a Leon-only game. That would've been ideal.
I tried using Plitch to make Grace's sections more combat-focused: tweaked the camera, boosted damage, etc. Even playing that way was fun. You can't really turn Leon's campaign into stealth, but still. It feels like his segments drag the pace early on, then the full switch to him later throws you off. Because in the end, you get neither a proper long-form survival horror nor a proper shooter. Cheats help with the matter, but still.
I'm left with a very mixed impression of the game.
It's not worst but feels like RE3R for me now. Game have some charm but its not it

I recently started playing as an Elven Mystic on Lu4. Basically the classic version, just running on a newer UE4 engine.
I got into questing and farm but MP regeneration problem are too hard to bear.
Whats best class in classic l2 for solo player? I dont want to cooperate with other players rn, but still want to expirience quests and other stuff.
Who remembers how it was? What race and class should I choose?

Cheats used to be developer tools, but players liked them so much they ended up in almost every game. But over time they either disappeared entirely or became unlockable rewards and not always easy ones to get.
And now I am using stuff like Plitch, because its basically only option to have cheats for fun experience.
I want games feel free againg. Cheats its not just easy mod, they can be tool to make replaying game more fun. Or accessibility tool.

I've been playing almost without guides but maybe asking strangers in game couple of question in chat but now I'm stuck.
Theres one thing bothering me: what do you do about mana regeneration? Especially at levels 10-20? After every 3-4 mobs I have to sit and wait for mana to recover. Are there other ways to handle this, or is that just how it is?
Here the thing: if not for cheats I would've dropped it within the first hour. I used Plitch to slightly increase my view radius and occasionally gave myself a few extra resources.
I know that's not the honest way to learn a game, but Id heard from friends how popular this genre is and that Heroes 3 is really interesting. When I asked about what to play I got recomended OE. Without any background in strategy games like this the experience feels very heavy
I figure it'll take at least another couple of weeks before I can confidently play without cheats.
Suprisingly good soundtrack for indie game.
Find on steam game called Down with the Ship. Build ships, fight other's players ships, gain money to buy more parts. Not much games like this so wanna share.
Its in EA but already a lot of stuff there, different captains give different buffs. Fun stuff worth trying. Not really spacesim more like building perfect combination of items so ship become too OP
When I was 15-16 yo, I played it briefly its basically my only vivid MMORPG memory. I even found a small group of friends there.
Recently I got some free time and I looked up how to play it again.
Found a server (or version?) called Lu4. As I understand it, it's a version running on the Unreal engine.
Played for a couple of hours, and damn the minimalist fantasy graphics still look beautiful today. Not sure how grindy or hard this version actually is. I came for nostalgia, and I got it lol
Also tree with tits lol
Cheats used to be developer tools, but players liked them so much they ended up in almost every game. But over time they either disappeared entirely or became unlockable rewards and not always easy ones to get.
For example: just get infinite ammo or infinite HP in a modern game? No, sorry please first unlock a special item by beating the game on HELL NIGHTMARE TERROR-ass difficulty.
I get it that developers have in mind certain image of the game. They want me to have proper experience. They want BALANCED EXPERIENCE.
Here's funny thing: I don't want it.
I want my own pace, I got life and work, and all this restrictive practices is just annoyance.
Yes, can install stuff like Plitch and havin basically all trainers for all games in one package. But still why I need to do that in first place? Where my impulse 101 cheats built-in?
I want games feel free againg. Cheats its not just easy mod, they can be tool to make replaying game more fun. Or accessibility tool.
I am playin solo so I feel like using cheats are kinda legit for me. I wont change damage numbers or using godmode but teleport is pretty useful for solo player.
I use cheats via Plitch, so there no trainers or dangerous apps.
How do you think about cheats for utility?
I am used to just typing shit in console but rn almost all games dont have a decent cheats built-in.
Right now only option is trainers and stuff like that. Not very handful and I am stick to using Plitch now. It helps with my singleplayer games. All the stuff are here: godmode, inf ammo etc.
But trend is dissapointing. Why even I need to download app? Why almost all game devs are restrict cheats in games? Even gta series are goes same way -- freedom of using cheats in old games are great and now you need to buy some stuff ingame just to have fun
Another RE9 run. Decided to mess with mods and cheats just for fun.
game on Plitch app have tons various cheats like modernised flashlight and camera control stuff
FOV cranked just like every PC player like it
This is my longest run lol
I got 8 out of 10 wins, almost completed the run but last 3 guys were too tuff
Basically this is very time consuming ship builder. You create some abomination and you fight with other players ships. Its about who create more OP build. Like full-on regeneration almost every turn or just way too powerful gun.
After almost 10 hrs I still find new items in shop, unlocking new stuff and new pilots. Perfect build builder. Its on Steam and got demo, I highly recommend you at least try it
Big day for people who likes to maneuver long vehicle in city with high traffic lol
I tried demo and driving feels good. Not regular trucksim, yes. But game def have same vibes
Tried the demo and this is more chill game. Not deep sim, but driving feels good.
I got into Slay the spire 2 bcs there is a lot of streamers play this game.
I liked build crafting and combat and I looking for similar projects that deliver on this part.
I already tried some games like Bloodgrounds and Down with the Ship.
Basically these games have very interesting build crafting and high risk for your run. I want that stuff in game, so please can you suggest me some?
