Finished Operation Raccoon City, started Legend of Grimrock...

Everything's in the title, really. Operation Raccoon City was... uhm... "Fun", I suppose. It was definitelly different, but there's a truckload of things that I think still require improvements in this game. Enemies sometimes act as if they were headless chickens - even Nemesis doesn't seem to be bothered by the fact that he's slightly taller then the average machine and the fact that he sees me doesn't mean that he's not shooting right into a crate standing infront of him. He's so carefree.

And don't even get me started on the teammate AI - I can't even begin to explain how many times I wanted the medic to heal me and got completely ignored by her. On other occasions, she obviously healed me when I was close to full health or started healing just out of my reach, probably to tease me. Ugh.

Overall it was a pleasant experience though, and that's what really matters.

I'm currently on the 3rd level of the Grimrock dungeon and I must say... Legend of Grimrock is freaking awesome. It's exactly what you should expect from a dungeon crawler, it's lookin' good and it's a good value in my opinion. Definitelly try it if you liked games like The Dark Spire, Etrian Odyssey or Stonekeep.

That's it for now, I guess. ;)

Loved Grimrock. Though enemy type starts to get repetitive...
I need to finish it.

Dungeon Master II fan here.
 
Yeah, the enemies are getting a bit repetitive... but at the same time, the difficulty level starts spiking up rapidly as I get new gear.

What I don't understand is why the creators of the game included certain interactions that no typical "dungeon crawler" would go for. I noticed that most of the time "falling down bottomless pits" is actually *beneficial* - there's a lot of unique gear down those and if you can get your head around the puzzles, falling down the pits is totally worth the slight loss of HP.

Your instincts are telling you NOT to fall down the pit because you assume that you're going to die wheras in fact falling down them is a damn good idea - I can't get my head around that. I discovered this by complete accident and I was about to reload a state when I noticed that these secret chambers actually have items in them.

    Speaking of meatballs, what's the deal with meatball sandwich? How can people eat those? It's ROUND. Trying to bite those in a sandwich is a challenge. It's easier to eat a burger stacked with toppings. :ninja:
