Man, fuck ANIME.

Man, I really wish I never purchased The Witness.
I went into it 100% blind and promised myself to never check for hints or such.

After a while I got stuck on a puzzle
(Jungle section)
and couldn't for the life of me figure it out.
I tried everything multiple times, and I really mean everything (solved almost all other sections).
I was pretty certain it had something to do with
sound
due to various stuff, but the
camo
on the panels put me off and I tried everything else a few more times when
maxing the volume
didnt work for me.
After a long time and a lot of headache, I was so sure it just HAD to do something with
sound
, I just said fuck it and checked for a hint.
Look and behold, I was right.

So much time wasted for a puzzle that's so badly designed I can't solve it even when
maxing the volume
.
I'm hearing impaired, and while it's kinda bad, I can hear most stuff and I actually solved the maze pre-patch.
(specific puzzle hint)
They should put out warnings for games that some gamers just simply cannot complete, now I feel with those who are color blind.

This really bummed me out a lot, now I have to complete a full section using a walkthrough and I paid full price for a limited experience.

Spoilers for a small hint for a full section.

I knew I was
tone deaf (not diagnosed or anything scientific, just my experience in life so far)
and this part confirmed my handicap. These puzzles got me mad.

I still managed to do this section on my own, but later on,
there is another puzzle like this,
and for this, I had to check online.

I feel with you for the spoiler part. I was spoiled one puzzle mechanic (the most late game mechanic) and I have been sad due to the fact that I did not get that "ahah I got it" moment.

Enemy within is the one to get.

Slingshot is a set of missions, they are alright and give access to a pretty strong soldier otherwise they don't add new stuff.

The last one is just additional soldier customization.


I don't think there's more.
 

Spirited

Mine is pretty and pink
Nah, this is now neogaf mod forum.

The official mod chat.

Enemy within adds a lot of stuff to the base-capmaign like two new classes(mech and genetic enhancer stuff I think) and a lot of other new stuff so be sure to pick that one up, it's all aroudn a better experience with it.

All but enemy within makes small changes like adding two missions and such so only pick those up if you get them in the package you buy enemy within with :p
 

Why? Maybe I want jshackles to ban me?

Also I'm wasted so here's this:

Most places are selling the complete pack for pretty cheap, so why not?


I don't have an educated opinion but before I go to sleep I'll offer the input that you can find better entertainment than the dlc for a similar pricepoint.
This is a terrible statement as it is always true.

EW seems popular, and I'd assume it's required for the mods that are also popular.

Stop making me not want to buy The Witness and preorder Firewatch,

Also we should Speedrunners/Rocket League at some point.

I got the base game for free though :p

Get Enemy Within, rest are skip-able.

OK, thanks for the suggestions! ^_^
 
Tbh I would probably vote Rogue Legacy for GOTY. Can't think of anything better that year except maybe Sonic Racing Transformed.

2013 was very underwhelming.

Yeah, and now I know why I can't solve for example the puzzle
in the boat
with those dots, which I thought I actually solved but it refused to show it as completed.
It drove me nuts and couldn't figure out what the hell I did wrong.

Sorry to hear that, I stayed out of the witness threads (except for the performance one) and was really careful to not spoil myself, didnt even watch trailers :p
Now I wish I at least was spoiled on that section.

Also we should Speedrunners/Rocket League at some point.

Haha oh man, yeah we really need to, and I need to get my skills back! :p

Dark Echo is



Dark Echo is a nice little game, it's both a puzzle game and a stealth game (kind of?) and has a really nice sound design.. It's a nice game to play in short bursts.. basically you walk around and your footsteps create sound waves that bounce around walls so you know where to go, but then they add enemies and that is where the puzzle/stealth elements come in..

You should buy it if you can afford it

it's on sale
 
Haven't played Rocket League, because I don't know how popular it is in Asia, I don't want to end up with a multiplayer game with bad servers like Chivalry.

ok saved scummed for the first time in xcom2

i knew it was a mistake to name soldiers after league characters...

If you don't count starting the game over, I've only scummed once. I....I tried to slash a muton. He didn't care for it.

I think specialists are underrated. I'm hacking everything. Twice now my hacked turrets have gotten "Most Under Fire".
 
All this Xcom talk got me to load up my save for the original again... two misses in a row with 96% chance to hit followed by a 90% chance to hit. What's scary is that I can't wait to get to bed and load it up again to continue (playing on android).
