Garcias

February 2017: A fantastic month? Depends.

What would be another Garcias’ update without a little design remodeling, am I right?
This was my best (and worst) month yet… I would’ve played even more (steam) games if I had not decided to explore the world of emulation… Oh god, what have I done!

Although I previously knew it was available, I had no idea how easy it was to set up and play older games with improved graphics and 60 fps. This is gonna do some serious damage to my steam backlog but I have the feeling that 2017 is gonna be a fantastic year regarding gaming overall! :D

Oh god this game is fantastic! If I had not started 4th semester today, I would've played the crap out of KH1 in the last few days (and had probably already finished it or gotten really close to finishing it) :(

I’ve decided to follow a choice I’ve been seeing applied here multiple times regarding multiplayer games: I’ll mark them as beaten if they surpass the hltb time even if I’m not done with the game. I did this with Awesomenauts, CS:GO, Dungeon Defenders (which I’ve beaten before they added achievements), Killing Floor, Rocket League and Team Fortress 2.
I’ve also updated all my steam reviews to include a rating (from 0 to 10). If you want, check them out here. This is, if anyone actually reads them.
And lastly, if you are active at steam community, maybe add me? My activity is so boring right now. (I need to clean up my friends and groups too.) I have so much stuff to do ;__;

EvilBlackSheep

Congrats on the games finished, and on the additions too, you have a lot of great games in there!!

I’m not sure what you’re looking for in your feed activity, but I do post screenshots if you wanna add me, feel free ;)

Garcias

I know I know! I just miss the time or energy to play them! It just makes everything harder :((

That’s exactly what I’m looking for! Added you! :D

EvilBlackSheep

Welcome to my steam flist ;)

uguleley

Good progress! But be careful now, once you start playing emulators you might be in for a nostalgia ride where there’s no turning back. ;) Just joking, we should always play what we enjoy the most!

I have been reading your reviews, but I admit that sometimes I’ve forgotten to check those links while I’ve been reading new posts in the activity feed. Your layout is fine though, I just need to remember to check the tags carefully when I see your post. :)

edit: I would have no problem adding you, but I can’t say I’ve been active in the feed. I should get back into uploading some screenshots at least.. :s

Garcias

Thank you! Yes, sadly I agree with you… so many classic that I’ve never played and are there.. just waiting to be played!

Thank you again ahah :D

Well, either way I’ll send you a friend request. The more the merrier :)

uguleley

Got it! Maybe this will motivate me to get back into taking shots and get some that are worth sharing. :)

stef

Nice progress! What’s your favorite game out of the ones you beat this month?

Also the games you added to your backlog are really good. I especially recommend Brothers and Pony Island

Garcias

Well, I really loved Assassin’s Creed and Saints Row 2. I don’t think I can choose only one D:

I’m actually gonna play these two this month (or try, since time is really scarce right now and in the next few months). But thanks for your recommendation, stef! :)

Tumalu

What did you think of Sniper Elite? I won it a really long time ago but I actually haven’t played it yet (shame on me)
Did you think the game was a bit dated?

Garcias

Oh yes, definitely dated. It felt a little repetitive and the story is a bit on the boring side (go here, go there, save this soldier, cover this other soldier, etc etc): it doesn’t really “matter”. It’s up to you if you want to play it or not but, from what I’ve read, Sniper Elite V2 is a way better game and should be the initial step to the series.
I actually only played it because I was in the mood for a sniper game and since this was a sg win, I kind of forced myself to play it. (Also because I haven’t played lots of sniper games so I had no game to compare it to).

Tumalu

Ah, I can do boring and repetitive, since I’m basically the same. :P
Snipers have always been my weapon of choice, so I’m sure I will enjoy it. :)

Garcias

Then if you do, just don’t forget to save from time to time, because if you die you have to repeat what you’ve done since the last checkpoint.

Tumalu

Thank you for the advice! :)

Arbiter Libera

Yeah, PS2 emulation is insane these days. PCSX2 can now automatically apply widescreen patches like it’s nothing to your games, even if it does mess with some. I’m going through Yakuza 2 at the moment and visuals enhancements really pretty the game up.

Garcias

Exactly what I’m loving from PCSX2. It’s just so freaking good and it feels so natural!

ShandyAndy

If it’s any consolation I won 27 games (& bought 1) and beat a single game in February ..

Garcias

Oh men, I’m sorry to hear that. Your backlog is really suffering :(

Well, maybe you had some other stuff that went well last month? :D

escollo

You had some really good additions, hope you’ll finish them :)

Garcias

I hope so too, I just lack the time currently and in the next few months (until July probably) to have the same result as I had in February :/
