Path of Exile (PC) aka. The Real Diablo 3

Terraria (PC)

Left for Dead 2 (PC)

Minion rush (android)

Bejeweled? (android)

Funny enough i bought the Last of Us a few weeks ago, played it for an hour and never went back. Yet ive put countless number of hours into some of the games mentioned above.

Is Path of Exile as ball-bustingly awesome as it looks? Been keeping my eyes on this for some time, this and some other, similar game on Kickstarter that featured a physics based combat system with weight and momentum carrying attacks and a proper real-time weather system (don't remember the name of the game though).


oops got too excited there with my mini review, i forgot to ask you what game you were talking about? Grim dawn possibly?

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Resonance of Fate (PS3)


Where are you / Are you liking it thus far?

I'm on Chapter 4. Just completed the side missions and I'm going to do the story mission now.

I'm enjoying it. It has a ton of fresh ideas for gameplay and I love the cinematic action. Although, I will say I absolutely depise the storytelling. Never before have I played 7 hours of a game and have no idea about a plotline, world, etc. They're spoon feeding info and all I know is that they're a merc group doing business in Ezel City.

As Xen has explained you: don't give a damn about the story. The game itself don't take it too seriously though, and it won't tell you the story (In fact there are several times where key things are explained to you as if you already knew them, though, it would be the first time you've heard of them). The ending doesn't make sense and don't explain anything either. Just imagine RoF as a Cobwoy Bebop minus the main storyline.

That's going to be tough. I play JRPGs for their stories, but at least you're being upfront.

Just finished: The Night of the Rabbit
Just started: To the Moon
Next up, most probably: The Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief (Episode 1)

Only one game at a time this time. In case I'm getting tired of p&c for a moment or two, Civ 5 is allowed to come to the rescue (but I won't touch the newcomers Fire Emblem, XCOM or Endless Space yet - these three look dangerous...).

I do the same, but I have to admit; I got hooked by the gameplay and the customization options in this game, and that pushed me forward. Besides, there are chapters worth mentioning (Especially those not-centered on dungeon crawling or beating enemies) that are pretty enjoyable. I'd say that while it is a shame they didn't work well the storytelling, the rest of the game hold up on itself.

Yeah... I agree... the storytelling is quite all over the place, but knowing that outlaw likes stories, I wanted him to see it for himself... I hate having even minor game details spoiled to me really, so I'm very reluctant to even mention them myself Outlaw didn't seem to mind though.

Leveling is indeed a little complex.

Generally, deal lots of damage and level up is the rule. However, there are exceptions. Such as firing at a high level enemy with a low skill, or finishing it off after lots of scratch damage with a weapon you barely used, such as grenades.

I can tell you for fact though,  Distribution of exp is similar across all characters and weapons. The evidence is that two of my machine gunners, Leanne and Zephyr, having each half the level Vashyron had, who used a pistol/grenade to finish off said enemies after Leanne and Zephyr both deal their scratch damage. Thus he dealt direct damage equivalent to both of their scratch damages, thus getting ~2x the exp.

No, I found it, it's called Sui Generis! It's not so much a game yet as it is a very, very promising engine and ambition but there is an informative video. I'll PM it to you!
