Battlespire
Did you do any better than Rutskarn in his recent playthrough?
-
@FrostCat He's a little bit further than I am. But to answer the question: no not really. In fact I think we both got hung-up and stuck at the same part of the first level. (Both of us were trying to jump up that well thing thinking that was the only way forward-- turns out there's a secret door.)

@blakeyrat Ok, last night's Battlespire stream was a complete clusterfuck. Should I:
-
Post it to YouTube anyway and keep attempting to play the game even though I'm probably utterly stuck because it's impossible for me to kill those spider daedra even with cheating???
-
Delete the vidzzz and start a new playthrough of Battlespire, this time with the foreknowledge that the combat is totally unbalanced and shitty with a cheat character from the start (using the class creator cheat that gives you thousands of class creation points)???
-
Stop even trying to play this shitty game and play something else entirely, even though I read ahead a bit and learned there's an airship you can drive on level 5???
I'm leaning towards option 2, even though it means I'd have to do a stream where I replay level 1, ugh.
... also I know I'm not super master game expert, but those spider daedra were simply fucking impossibly difficult. Maybe I was missing something? Like there's a magical charm that makes them 10 times weaker or something? Or you need the mage's wand from level 1 to kill them? Who knows.

That
The combat (and the whole game ot be honest) looks primitive and frustrating.
I understand that it might be worth looking at old games to enter some amazing world, even despite technical difficulties. But here it is hard to see anything worth fighting the archaic gameplay.
And it was considered bad even when it came out:compared against Daggerfall, "Battlespire''s less expansive scope, hack-and-slash gameplay, and technical problems ultimately provide a role-playing experience that is only occasionally satisfying
[...]
However, even the action was completely negated with a horrible semi-3D engine plagued by bugs, glitches and lots and lots of clipping errors

Looking at the technical level of this game, the airship will most likely be a disappointment.
Maybe you can find a new game about airships? That would be interesting.

Don't know if you want recommendations, but I can suggest those if you like interesting mechanics:
Hammerfight (hint: set the in-game mouse DPI setting to minimum)
Blacksea Odyssey

And it was considered bad even when it came out:You don't watch my channel very often, do you. It's pretty much about bad games.
Maybe I'll do a stream of Afterfall: Insanity, continuing my trend of ripping off Retsupurae. Another option: The Last Remnant which is not only a bad game, but a bad JRPG. So it'd be like double-hate for me.
Afterfall: Insanity has a bit of cachet because it's no longer available for purchase anywhere, so.

I want to see a horror game where, when you turn around and there's a strange creature behind you screaming, you get to punch them in the face.
Because that would be a perfectly reasonable reaction.

@Zecc I just punch my monitor.

NEKOPALIVE (Stream) (Not really a game) – 06:17From the gist of this terribly translated article, it's by the people who did Neko Para, and it's basically a VR thing they whipped together real fast for fans of the actual game. Team Four Star played that one.
-
The Steam store description is in English and explains what it is. But I think the clearest indicator of what it is is the reviews - it seems that this "game" is some sort of meme.

WHY ARE I NOT MAKING VIDEOS
- It's super-hot this summer
- My microphone is on a headset
- The AC is really loud
- My ears sweat and it's all disgusting and nasty if I wear the headset without AC
- Fuck you

@blakeyrat I like how you immediately described the things you said you couldn't describe. Apropos of not much, those white cubes with pentagons look vaguely like how some JRPGs draw rice balls or maybe sushi rolls, although I assume that's not what those are.
-
@blakeyrat Now we'll never know what the look for secrets button does, or what the question block is! So many questions!
...no, there's no way I'm buying it to find out.
-
@Magus I thought about that, I bet the question block is a secret.
But I still don't see the point of looking for secrets when the final ability lets you just fly where ever with no limitations or skill required. It's just slowly hovering around at like 3 MPH until you've checked every nook and cranny. Whee. Fun.
-
@blakeyrat Maybe they were cool sec-
...nope, I can't say it.

One or two other people have Let's Played this, and one did a walkthrough of all 9 secrets if you really want to know.

HOLY SHIT
I was looking for the two phantom comments on my latest video (seriously, YouTube says I have 2 comments on one screen but won't show them to me on either the video page or the "Messages" tab, WTF) and while I was there I looked at my private messages and as it turns out I AM NOW SO POPULAR THAT INDIE DEVELOPERS ARE SENDING ME FREE KEYS TO REVIEW!
Which goes to show how desperate the indie game industry is right now, sheesh.
Also they went in the spam folder, so YouTube themselves doesn't think much of these folks. But hey whatever.

I suppose it's an attempt to stop the iframely DOS attacks with Aggressive Caching.

They are desperate enough that someone from an ad-company asked me if I would review a game because of my website that get's less than 10 visitors a day.
