Schlitty Completes Games in 2020

All the Alyx videos gameplay videos had me missing City 17. Replayed HL2 through for the first time in awhile. More or less bunny hopped past most things but as always I got nice and infuriated with the inept squad members getting in my way while I tried to kill Striders. But the OP gravity gun is always a fun way to end it. I’m still one of the weird breed that prefers the first game more. Just find it more fun. But man is that HL2 world/environment going to be amazing in VR. Still a classic out of 10.

Edit:

Not worth another post but I beat Episode One today. Man is that one short as heck. I did the “One Free Bullet” achievement where you only get to shoot a gun once and then have to just use crowbar, gravity gun, grenades, and rockets. Made it slightly interesting in a different way. Lots of hopping in circles waiting for Alyx to kill things for me.

Edit 2:

Another one. Sticky bomb Strider fight is still stupid.

Alright, this one gets its own post even though it tries to be part of the HL games. I beat Black Mesa. It assaulted my GPU for some reason and I had some crashes. Xen runs incredibly inconsistent as compared to the rest of the game. But It is fun. It just ended up two separate games: 1. Before Xen (HL1 in HL2 engine with little changes for the sake of there being changes) and 2. Xen (a completely new take and re-imagining that is an entirely different experience from the original). And neither of them feel like HL1 in their own ways. I dunno how to explain it. I guess I just wish they would’ve done something different like an Opposing Forces/Blue Shift approach. And just made it from the view of one of the other scientists that precede Freeman into Xen. Because it just is never going to replace HL1.

Still though; HL universe, fun shooty shooty, and she is a cutie to gaze upon. Average+ outta ten.

Forgot about this thread. Probably skipped a game or two (or at least we’ll pretend I actually beat games regularly).

Beat Golf Peaks throughout the day. Simple casual puzzle game. Probably was originally a mobile game but it worked fine on PC with resolution options and all that. Simple style/art that looks good. Puzzles that pick up in difficultly and are all fair/logical. Took me 4ish hours to 100%. For some pocket change, I’m not going to complain. 7.289242340001 outta 10

Is it better than Red Dead Redemption 2?

I wouldn’t know!

Is it better than the golf gameplay in GTA V?

This one was even shorter. That or I’m getting smarter.

Took awhile for it to get hard actually, and then it never went over the top. Got an hour out of it. Made by the same dude who made Hook which was a simple puzzler I enjoyed a year or two ago. I bought his whole pack of 4 or 5 games on the sale. Always has a good aesthetic/theme/mood and they cost pennies.

I choo choo choose you out of 10.

But boy did it look rad and seem cool. Even though it wasn’t fun to play I still liked it. Which is saying something. What that is, I do not know. Recommended.

Bodacious aesthetic was more fun than the gameplay out of 10

Keep in mind that you are not allowed to talk to Josh as long you don’t meet his requirements. But if you meet em, you gonna be a terrible ass.

What was tedious? The game was easy haha.

That’s why it was tedious. As long as you were patient it was easy. Which made it boring. But I wanted to see the next cool effect, meta thing, sorta story, whatever. So I didn’t want to be patient. Became tedious to be patient and just get to the cool stuff. If I wasn’t so old I think I’d rather have just watched a playthrough. Whatever though, was interesting enough to get through.

Re; sYnC, I do have the VR version, but VR is not a Summer time activity in this 100+ year old house of mine with my PC upstairs. I will talk to you in the Winter good sir.

You really just play it for the unique mechanics I suppose. I would have liked harder puzzles. It’s so short though who cares that it was easy I guess. Experience game or something

Gotta go fast.

Beat the campaign on Team Sonic Racing. Great idea with the team racing thing but they just didn’t commit enough to it. It has got the tracks, items, and campaign of a typical arcade kart racer. But then has a little more traditional/hardcore racing idea of team points. Didn’t quite work out. I wish they had more traditional tracks and a season mode or something. But it was fun enough to complete. 7+ hrs campaign if you play everything. But yeah, this coulda been way better if the committed to the idea. Multiplayer (only tried local) was a snore. All Stars and Transformed are the more fun games and definitely better for multiplayer.

Another tiny puzzle game I got during the Summer Sale. Same guy that made HOOK and klocki that I liked. Same deal. Logical puzzles, minimalist design, and an hour of thinkin n clickin. All for pennies. :+1:

As that meme of the DJ guy says; Another one.

Same dev, another hour+ of puzzles that I should probably play on my tablet instead of at the PC. I thought the puzzles were more fun in this one and the progression and difficulty arc was a nice smooth saunter. made me feel s-m-r-t smart. I’d score it up, left, and out of ten.

…Don’t worry, I only got one more of these from the Summer Sale to beat from this developer.

Add to the beat list; Naboki, Hexcells, Hexcells Plus, Hidden Folks, West of Loathing, Zenge, Castle of Illusion, GRIS, Evergarden, Youropa, Hob, Cats Organized Neatly

Played a lot of Fall Guys (70hrs) and Among Us (8hrs) which is a lot more than my usual 0hrs of multiplayer.

Basically I played a bunch of shitty little puzzle games that may as well be mobile games this year, a couple platformers, and HL stuff. And some vroom vroom here and there of course, but not nearly enough.

29 games beat if you count HL2 ep1+2.

GOTY for me on the beat list; Youropa
GOTY that actually came out this year (but I haven’t beat); Risk of Rain 2 (85hrs, but only played it once since 1.0 release lol, still GOTY tho)

Gotta try GRIS. Looks good! You actually finished more games than me and now I officially hate you.
