Topic	so i have begun an attempt to clear my steam backlog. wish me well in this folly
Radix 08/22/21 9:56:57 PM #43:	so i said fuck it and went through the last 3 sam and maxen 303 was another not very good one. better than 302 but not by much. story continues to be bad and puzzles are eh. it did introduce Sal tho who is the first good new character this season (it also brought in another bad one unfortunately). it also had a new mechanic which was good - an interrogation system. it reminded me of phoenix wright but im sure its based on like la noir or something. too bad it was only used for the opening section and never again (except as a joke in 304) 304 was the best of the season imo. story finally did something even though what it did still wasnt very impressive. it also had a twist that actually got me! surprised this season managed to have one 305 was just ugh. 304 couldve been done as a fine enough ending without this. storywise it felt kinda unnecessary and the big reveal was predictable, disappointing, and sorta pointless. there was some stuff that also just kinda happened for some reason and none of it was good (specifically, ~~Sal dying, Grandpa Stinky being brain swapped, Max being replaced with Past-Max somehow~~). it did manage to drop the title which was nice so yeah season 3 was mostly bad overall. dont know if they got a brand new team to do it or what but geez. it kinda felt like the story wanted to be big and impressive but it came across and meager and kinda generic almost. new characters were p much all bad (except good ol Sal) and a lot of the returning one seemed different to me (i might be dumb and wrong and missed something on that though). gameplay got fucked somehow. i guess they made it for controller first and had to do dumb shit to get mouse to work (you have to hold down a left click and move for some reason instead of just ya know point and clicking). the game was dark which made navigating some areas harder than they shouldve been and there was no option to increase the brightness anyway seasons 1 and 2 were both good and i recommend them both 112, 113, 114/159 also started BattleBlock Theater. all i knew about this one was that it had a great narrator and the game is good. both of these things are correct! im not sure what i expected it to be but a puzzley actiony platformer wasnt it but im liking it. dealing with the enemies and how the weapons work is kinda fumbly and not great but i guess the idea is to avoid/sorta speedrun past and not use weapons much (will have to watch to some speedruns after im done. didnt watch the ones at GDQs to avoid spoilers). and yeah the narration is fuckin great. ive only finished 4 of the 8 chapters as this isnt the kind of thing id want to play for hours at a time even though i do like it and weekly fite game is Nitroplus Blasterz Heroines Infinite Duel. as the name implies this features heroines from various nitroplus series, almost all of which i know nothing about. of the 14 playable characters im only familiar with 4 of them and 3 of those arent even nitroplus characters. i also dont know any of the 20odd assist characters although ive at least heard of some of the series. anyway the game is a 5 buttoner ABCDE. ABC are your standard attacks, E is a sweep/guard break/knockback (not unlike Blade Strangers), and D is the schmovement button (short hopes, rolls, evades). you also get to use 2 assists which are timer/cooldown based. offline modes consist of an arcade mode, a short story mode, and nothing else. also no rollback. gameplay does seem solid though and it looks like a lot of neat stuff could be done with the assists so its not a bad game just unremarkable really. i guess if youre big into nitroplus you might get more enjoyment out of it. 115/159 and thats all. well i also played some of the diablo 2 resurrected beta. im still planning on getting that when it comes out so thatll slow down the backlog. next up though is gonna be Wanderlust Rebirth and more BattleBlock https://store.steampowered.com/app/238460/BattleBlock_Theater/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/482450/Nitroplus_Blasterz_Heroines_Infinite_Duel/ --- congrats to azuarc for victorying GotD guru https://imgur.com/fKQfZ0Q <cite>Radix posted [p:957345781] in so i have ...
