Another Turok playing here!
I am in level 7 and so far it has been an old-school worthy ride. It's a pity that in some areas enemies respawn too fast but I suppose it's a way to make you move faster to new areas or just use every weapon at your disposal.
Wow. Not only is the "Impossible Lair" in Yooka-Laylee annoyingly difficult, it's also very dark. I'm not going to beat it out of protest.
I gotta say, it's a pretty good game. I didn't expect to like the 'multiple types of the same level' concept, but it's done nicely here.

Durante I see you giving SaGa SG a try neat, let me know if you need any tips, but one that I will give you freely right away, though I think you already figured it out, is to focus on getting United Attacks, that way battles can be won much more conveniently.
Also Turok 1's platforming is...OK. I mean you got quick saves that just makes things much less tedious.
However I do like it's elements of exploration....long as I am not getting lost :V

Like brightness dark? Is that a bug for certain people (and that's why others have mentioned a patch?). I just beat it a couple nights ago and I don't recall it looking notably darker than the rest of the game.
It has quick saves? Didn't see any mentions about them in the settings. Though I didn't mind, I enjoy my platformers and died only around 10 times by failing a jump.
The jumping itself took some time to get adjusted that your momentum stops the moment you land your jump. Usually you can just keep bunnyhopping around in older games.
It looks like you’re having a miserable time with it from the start, why are you doing this to yourself? Just turn it off and forget about it.
Wok I swear I'm writing my list to vote but IT'S HARD 
I don't feel miserable with it, it just keeps not being interesting, but something about it just makes me keep going.
Oh, I suppose. You can imagine that the bees you save are piloting little bee mech suits and they're fine inside the suits? I noticed when a bee gets knocked off it looks weirdly metallic and larger on the ground so just use that to feel better.
The Impossible Lair (last level, not the game) was shorter than I expected. I thought people referred to it being 30 minutes long but on my first attempt I got to 50% after dying on a boss phase so in my head I expected a lot more but they must calculate that weird because on the next attempt I just had one more stretch of platforming and the final boss round. I'm guessing with the boss fights it took around 15-20 minutes in total?
Very dark? Huh, I don't think I ever had that issue with the level... hard, sure, but it always seemed bright enough to see where I was jumping.
Heh, my thought as well but see above. They just meant the bee meat shield sacrificing themselves for you. Psychologically dark.
Finally 3 Starred all Missions in Door Kickers: Action Squad, might do a Achievement clean-up later this year
I'm curious if Windows 10 means Windows Store only? Imagine Microsoft starting money hatting 3rd party games on pc as well
Good. Ubisoft has been doing way too many EA-like bullshit last year.
Next week will finally be the time where we get to know what Durante has been secretely cooking 
EDIT: Let me rephrase that.
In SaGa Scarlet Grace, you can set combat diffiuclty to Easy, Normal and Hard. I chose not to change it and likely won't during this Urpina playthrough
I am playing Urpina route in SaGa Scarlet Grace and it is a route where you really should just do the main quest, reason being is that Urpina gets very low resources from battles, furthermore stat increase for characters is hella slow.
This combination makes certain battles tough because your stats and equipments might be low and any attempt to upgrade might be difficult if you lack resources.
Still I understand WHY it is suggested to go her route first, if only to get the player accustomed to the gameplay flow.
Bal was a much better playthrough, mainly because the game treats it as Hard mode (even with diff. set to normal!) and the battles for the most part were managable thanks to the game rewarding you with good amount of resources+stat boosts from battles as you progress.
See THIS is my kind of difficulty; if I'm going to face strong foes, don't cheapen out on the buffs, gimme enough to have a level playing field.
I am gonna do at least one or two more side stuff while following a guide to get the most amount of resources (for equip upgrades) because good lord are my retinue weak and they need the big blades.
I already own it and If I'm gonna play Call of Doody, FEAR 3 can't be any worse :V

FEAR 3 is one of the worst games I ever played in my life, its only fun on coop because you can laugh of the awefulness with a friend.
I'm curious if Windows 10 means Windows Store only? Imagine Microsoft starting money hatting 3rd party games on pc as well
Or it's just the devs being weird.
MS moneyhatting a 3rd party game would go against what they are doing.
That Bigfoot questline is so funny.
There must be hundreds of these retinues since I didn't come across him in Urpina's story. I'm doing Taria for my next playthrough.

I love Ziggurat, but like several other rogue-likes I've played, I feel luck is a more important factor to beat the game than skills. Certain perks, amulets and weapons are significantly stronger than others, and certain enemies and bosses are significantly harder to beat than others. Is this me, or do you guys had the same impression?
Still haven't beat the final boss by the way.
My thoughts as well. It's just weird, because in the past "Windows 10" instead of "PC" meant Windows Store only. But that was before the glorious multi-store future of course

I like the third person perspective because I like to see my character but when it comes to immersion you just can't beat first person.
I still have such vivid memories of playing Doom for the first time, leaning to the side in my chair to peek around corners because I was too scared.

It's such a great game, a must for any old-school Fps lover as well as rogue-like fans. It really nails those two aspects.I love Ziggurat, but like several other rogue-likes I've played, I feel luck is a more important factor to beat the game than skills.

Not really, fear 1 was so well received because it was a gpu benchmark for a long while, right after doom 3 and until crysis.
I bought Saga and played for a bit.
At first I didn't understand what the fuss was about concerning the battle system, but now I can see why people like it so much. The combination of having various skills to reposition party members and enemies on the timeline and the power of combination attacks makes for some really interesting strategizing. It's very satisfying to e.g. plan to purposefully move an enemy in between your characters and then kill them.
I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call it the best turn-based JRPG battle system, but it's certainly both unique and good, which is a rare combination as far as these things go.

Ah I don't know if you'll get him in that route, but if you do all scenarios, you'll have him guaranteed.
Whose route are you starting with?

That's fine. I find the turn based system it uses really good and landing United Attacks is a joy XP
Whose route are you starting with?
While United Attacks are good, the BP cost reduction is what I'm really after. Being able to reduce 6/8-star counter skills to just one star is super useful for late game where enemies will interrupt/counter your retinue at every opportunity.
First time choice is stacked in Urpina's favor, since she's the easiest character to start with, but depending on RNGJesus, it can be any of them, IIRC.
Im guessing that there is something wrong with my M.2 SSD because games that run well on my regular SSD look great with GSync but yet can see tearing with the m.2
So games installed on the M.2 run well only if I am using the Windows on my old SSD, but when I switch Windows to the M.2 that is when I have issues with games.

Yeah, SMT games (including Persona) are my golden standard for turn-based JRPG. The system goes beyond just combat, you start from your party composition and formation, as well as understanding the enemies you're about to encounter. When everything clicks, it's just so satisfying. There's little to no repetition in SMT combat.
