Gaming room (It's a geeks paradise)

[Otta]

Oooo, I hadn't realised when I posted the link that it actually was the game. I've been playing on ios.

[El Pibe]

i'm now definitely not getting enough work done!!!

[Otta]

I was doing well then barely got out of a fight alive and died on the way home, losing my precious steel sword as well as a GUN I'd just taken.

Now I keep getting my arse kicked.

Need to be more patient and go out with shit loads of food!

[El Pibe]

Get yourself some steel armour, make sure you've got all the power ups, wagon etc. and fooood food fooood

[Otta]

That's the plan, but need to find more steel.

[El Pibe]

you just ned to find the coal mine to get enough coal to build the steel works, then you're laughing. You have found the iron mine i take it.

I've now a nice assortment of rifles, steel & iron swords in stores. maxed out in terms of wagons, casks and armour.

Can still be a bitch in the outer reaches though.

It's wonderfully balanced play, and i like there's no tutorials, you just get these slow reveals as you advance.

ANd loved it when it went from a simple resources type game to rogue!!

[Otta]

You git, you've totally taken over me. I am currently punching my way through fights (and often losing) as apparently you can work your way up to super martial artist. I am currently a mere boxer.

It's great, it feels like Grapes of Wrath meets Fallout 3.

[Otta]

Which direction is the coal mine? Found Iron and Sulpher but no coal.

[El Pibe]

I suspect it's randomly generated.

I had to turn it off, felt like punching the wall after uncovering some really useful Ps and then dying in a fight really stupidly...and i lost my bayonet *sobs*

fwiw

 

[El Pibe]

oh, i just finished the game. that was unexpected..oops!

[Otta]

Hurrah I've finally found the coal mine and have my steel works. Have a rifle but still mostly punching (I is a martial artist now innit).

I'm loving this game and I can't even quite say why.

[El Pibe]

I can, because it's been lovingly done, and goes back to that stuff about all the best effects happening in the imagination and the game designers just have to take care of the gameplay.

once you start manufacturing bullets you'll feel confident to use the rifle, i'd take 20 bullets out per foray.

can't believe i fininshed it, never got to use my laser gun in anger!

Mind you, armed with your spear, iron sword, steel sword and bayonet, you never really need it.

Also if the master comes visiting, give him your medecine and go with evasion.

and did you find the marsh?

[Otta]

I know where the marsh is, but haven't gone there yet, was just concentrating on finding the coal mine.

Oh, and one bullet plus one killer punch seems to see off any nasty people / beasts.

[El Pibe]

what the hell is a killer punch? obviously some premium content in them that iOS hills!!!

Marsh is extrememly useful, take a charm!!

[Otta]

Killer punch just my name for it. Basically if you punch enough people you get upgraded and punches take more HP.

[El Pibe]

maybe browser and ios versions a bit different then. can you carry multiple weapons?

[Otta]

If you have a sword you can't punch, but rifles are separate so you can shoot as well as punch/stab

[El Pibe]

but if you have 1 steel sword, 1 iron sword, 1 spear and 1 rifle you can stab, slash, hack AND shoot!

[Otta]

Can you? I've only ever taken one melee weapon out at a time.

[Dopamine1979]

Had a few toddler-free hours over the weekend and so put in some time on GTA V.

Those aeroplane/helicopter training missions are bloody frustrating.

[Otta]

Flying missions are a bad thing in every GTA game they've cropped up in!

SJ. I downloaded Dark Souls.

Er, no further news on that front.

[StraferJack]

What Otta said and GTA flying missions

Re Dark Souls - no time or WTF??

[Otta]

No time, just downloaded it whilst it was available (apparently they're gonna do 3 games a month for Gold members), but no idea when I'll get to actually have a go at it.

[StraferJack]

It's a steep wall initially (I know, I know - time is limited and I'm not encouraging you with words like that)

But you should have The Fear by the time you get to... say.. Undead Parish

Especially if I find you and invade you ;-)

But if you do start it and get past the training level, you have several paths you can take. Go UP the steps to viaduct - otherwise you will get owned

[Otta]

Noted.

But you do realise the rebel in me is going to go down now ;-)
