Can Mooncrash be played without playing base Prey?
Sadly no. But the base game + Mooncrash is very, very discounted on GOG right now. $12 for the whole shebang.

Still playing Witcher 1 and the end of chapter 1 has a somewhat infamous boss fight I take it given that multiple sources warned me about it. First attempt I quickly got swarmed and bitten to death within 10-15 seconds, which partly may be my fault due to my unfamiliarity with its particular brand of crpg combat (you can press spacebar to real time pauseâŚ) but mainly due to the battle involving you likely being surrounded and all your attacks interrupted. The second time I used my⌠whatever my force push power is called to start to buy myself a second to compose myself and I scored a lucky low probability stun effect on the boss which means the next hit did an execution animation to kill it instantly. It was like the PC gaming gods took pity on me after the various Deus Ex oddities and self-inflicted inadvertent hard mode Planescape: Torment run and said âhe deserves a winâ.
This only leaves a swamp section of plentiful annoying backtracking as things I was forewarned about, and I already installed the mod that raises my walking speed by 25% (all games should have this BTW) so perhaps I may see this thing through.
âŚI also got another playing card. When I heard about the whole âyou get a playing card for every lass you bangâ thing I thought they would just be like⌠skeevy sidequest chain rewards but the two I have were basically lasses going âBTW, Iâll bang yaâ in the middle of unrelated dialogue strings and there was a third I didnât bother with that was basically âif you bring alcohol to the mill at dusk weâll sexâ. It is the lamest thing in the game, but I donât think that is much of a revelation.

I have played through dishonored 2 like three times and I love it more each time. I donât understand why the reaction was so lukewarm.

it rewards mastery much more than regular play!

I have been playing 
again for some reason
the game has an EX option that is âplay the game in first-personâ
I have looked at this option in the past and chuckled sensibly to myself
something in my brain broke from being stuck at home for 3 months and Iâm now trying to S+ the boss rush in first-person view
it turns out things that you canât see are hard to dodge
this is compounded by the fact that bullets and lasers are rendered with sprites and this translates into flat lines or skewed textures flying at you with very little sense of depth
Iâve gotten 80% of the way to doing it and I have no fucking idea how Iâm actually managing to get that far to begin with
and yet, it must be done

idk if this is true at all but also itâs not inherently a bad thing
I happen to enjoy meticulously playing stealthily and having to learn guard routes and level designs to figure out the most optimal path/strategy to get through undetected. I think dishonored 2 is honestly great in this regard.
the game also plays really well if you donât want to play perfectly!
I think itâs a really great thing about its design that it rewards ocd tendencies and also just playing through it with a more cavalier approach.

I loved developing mastery with the first Dishonored and I think I will love Dishonored 2 if I can reach that same point. I just got to the Royal Conservatory and felt real bad ass as I made my way to the Conservatory proper. I donât like these games when I play like a doofus and get in mob fights, although the sword battles can be cool in a piratey kind of way.

I tried replaying Silent Hill 3 but I got mad fighting the dick worm boss when it hits me and knocks me on my ass and I just lay there for 10 minutes
somebody send me their pcsx2 newgame+ save with the infinite machine gun already unlocked
I beat the second boss in Shinobi PS2 by tricking him into falling off a roof repeatedly
Thatâs not going to work on this healer man and his armoured dogs

The speed at which Phantasy Star Online 2 has consumed my life is astounding. You better believe I am using this game as a vehicle to live my best life as my OC do not steal and subjecting everyone in my parties to tons of in-character autochat and like, 1 clever joke. Iâm the cool guy dual SMG showoff class (gunner) so I rebound my controls to take advantage of DAREDEVILâS DODGE which is the fuckin awesome action half-life dive weapon action you get that you can cancel and chain into other shit and basically stay in the air Forever. With that on left trigger, my normal attack on the right trigger, and lock-on on LB it feels like I am playing the most incredible lost trashy PS2 action game. I spent an entire boss fight pirouetting around an enormous moving fortress shmup boss autochatting SHOW ME YOUR MOVES!! at a guy named Texas Gundam, who was literally a Gundam in a cowboy hat. This is a danger gameâŚbut it might be a good one.

Finished Ace Combat 7, i liked a lot!
i think as far of making the planes fly good, for me, is the best of the series (i played the ps2 games with a almost broken PS2 controller except Zero that i played on emulator, and Fires of Liberation on a Xbox) but i think on my emotional attachement is not as strong comparing to 4 and 5, but is above the ones on PSP and Liberation and 2 (i didnât played 3 and assault horizon yet).

i hate it when people say âit gets good after x hours!â about rpgs, but after playing tokyo xanadu for a few hours, i am actually starting to warm to it a lot more. it feels like thereâs less boring stuff between action sections, and also i went to a cosplay shop in the mall and bought cat ears and tails for all my party members

okay I just had to shoot it five times cause Iâm playing on easy action mode. I get stuck in âI canât waste bullets so I can stockpile them and take it easy at the endâ mode on these games a lot and try to melee everything.
but I can see more why I only played this game the one time but replayed sh2 a million times though. this one is way more stressful. 2 has the journey into the town, still one of my favorite parts of any game, and you get a whole section of the town to wander around with a few easily manageable monsters thrown around. itâs almost more like an adventure game. 3 starts in a nightmare you die in, then youâre in a mall a very short while before it goes to the otherside mall, then youâre in a subway with a ghost. even the hospital from 2 is a way more extreme version than it is in 2. in 2 the hospital and the hotel change over to otherside versions very shortly at the end and itâs kind of just damp water damaged abandoned versions of the real thing, and the prison-labryinth thing in the middle of the game is kind of itâs own thing.
which is also something I think is really interesting about 2 is that they didnât beat the rust and blood nightmare world from 1 to death in their next one. this oneâs a direct sequel to 1 though and youâre playing the character whose mind created the whole nightmare world of the first game so it makes sense itâs more prominent, and they already had the first sequel where they showed restraint so itâs not annoying when the go all out on it. itâs more nerve wracking to have to deal with though.
