No one else play the abomination that was the original Hellboy: Dogs of the Night PC game from the early 2000's ? The game that was so broke that if you stood still you eventually levitated out of the level.
Don't always focus on just killing visionaries. Use the lead tracker to finish the game, but you'll often have to go to areas during the day where visionaries aren't able to be killed. So it's okay to go to an area, pick up a clue or some info and just leave.
I love the slightly psychedelic 60's espionage setting of Deathloop; reminds me of old 60's TV programs like The Prisoner and The Avengers. A big thing it reminds me of is the comics series Casanova, written by Matt Fraction and illustrated by Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon. There's 3 books released, Luxuria, Gula and Avarita, with a smaller sequel-esque one Acedia which looks to be the last in the series so far.
It's got plenty of concepts that match the game; at the start of the series, Casanova Quinn is elminating the heads of a vast espionage/terrorist group but then encounters a bit of time travel/alternate universe shenanigans. The there's betrayals, giant robots, life like androids, David Bowie-esque psychedelic weirdness and lots of other stuff. I love it and playing Deathloop has made me bite the bullets and get the hardback copies of the books to read again and enjoy.
The completely unnecessary stealth sqequence in that last Tex Murphy game that got kickstarted, was a really downer. Insta-fail, first person stealth with no actual stealth mechanics, just wander about in a maze and try to roughly avoid people. It was real bad.
@whitestripes09: Yeah, I feel the same. I thought I would enjoy all the time alone with just myself but it's been really getting me down. I miss people, I get on well with my co workers and I miss going out for drinks after work. Working from home itself is fine and all, and my work transitioned fairly easily as they had already started putting in place laptops and other things to allow us to work easily in our own place. I've gotten a new monitor, chair and other computer accessories provided by my work. If I could still go out and see folk it wouldn't be a big deal but yeah being stuck inside the same place all the time is bad.
I find there's always something I want to play, but I need to remind myself to play things. I'm just in the habit of loading up Steam, and I've already got a backlog there, so I should really finish the games I've got.
I've been playing The Division again, and I'm still enjoying it, but I'm not getting any better gear. I've got a gear score of 283 and a score of about 1500 but I've been stuck with the same gear for like the last 20 hours. Nothing I've done has given me any better gear. Meanwhile I'm seeing other players who are 293 with a score of 6000+.
Is there anything specific I can be doing? Stick with doing the underground stuff? PVP? Dark Zone stuff?
@rorie: Yeah, I've tried subscribing with Pocketcasts, on my phone and also on their desktop app. Both times it just shows me the last episode on November 7th. This is the same with the Bombcast and the Beastcast.
So I've got a weird problem; I had to let my premium subscription lapse at the end of last year, as I was struggling for money. I've now re-subscribed but my podcast feed won't show any new episodes from when my original subscription ended.
