Blood West: Scavengers
They added a new enemy: bounty hunters. Here I am sitting and wondering "who the fuck put a bounty on my guy? The zombies? The cultists?" Anyway, the bounty hunters supposedly sometimes shoot the other monsters. They also just exist to steal your bullets, multiple headshots do nothing. First encounter with one was in the single digit days, damn near got assassinated by it while in the Load Screen if it didn't Spawn in pointed the opposite direction. Luckily this Day had a Glass Cannon Mutator. The Mutator makes enemies do 1000% more Damage and hear you easier but the trade off is they're all 1HP (also I love this Mutator. I'm never doing a single mission without this Mutator again). Second bounty hunter just was patrolling like a skin seeker, didn't help they look like them. It was a supply run, these things weren't supposed to be there but the randomizer decided they were to be.

Also something I saw happen:
There's deathsquads that rove about. Saw an entire pack of miner zombies Spawn in right in front of me. For reference those are the weakest enemies in the game. Later saw a group of risen which are the second weakest, had a defiler with them. From the Forums I Know I that I have been getting lucky. People have had trouble with broken screams doing that. For Reference they're invisible, do heavy damage, are fast, and have outrageous amounts of HP. They also show up in clusters in the Base Game just for that added "fuck you". Same goes for Hellbears which have more HP then all three Chapter Bosses combined, two heads that decide their method of attack, and can both move fast enough to catch trains, kill you in a single swipe, and a ranged attack.

Luckily the chapter specific venders sell the artifacts usually in their chapters. Unfortunately I'm gotta havta put the Undead back together to get the fucking gunslinger hat.

I picked the Vigilante for my Scavenger. Fairly obvious he's a Dark Tower Reference after the fifth time he said "not today, Doomlords!". I thought there might be something different for each of them but I get the feeling that's not the case and they all start out with two rusty revolvers and just enough ammo for both.

I'll probably stop this one immediately. I really don't like Rogue-anything Games. I want my gains to actually feel meaningful and not like I just created an entirely new playthrough everytime I die and feel like every run is gambling (I actually hate gambling). Only exception is Monster Train. This one especially feels like it's just Rogue with no "like/lite".

Nah, they've all got different weapons. Preacher has a crossbow, the Dude has a rusty axe and knife, etc. When you die, you can't pick that scavenger for the following run. I know because I suck and keep dying. :V

Benefits of having 5 runs worth of Playtime and 2 for DMP: I never get to see what happens when I die. Although I still am gonna complain about the bounty assassin even if it didn't get me. That thing was sitting there and I got lucky not to have my run ended by the game literally cheating.

Best advice I can give is the same Jim gives: running away is the best tactic for survival. A raven skull and the watch combo into a "get out of death free" card per skull (9/10 it's falling to death I'm escaping).

Aside from that simply think tactically. Enemies can't mantle surfaces nor crouch and lunges aren't jumping although various enemies have means to account for their lack of leaps. They're also astoundingly good at pathing, revealing when certain ledges are secretly inclines. Guns, while not silent, are surprisingly quiet. If being chased always keep a shotgun in reserve (unless it's the big bois or a rangey boi. The later you just need to learn to do the Elegant Dodge Dance while the former is watching attack patterns and jump out of range while opening up on the head). I can't help with the broken screams. Hate those things, supposedly they're weak to shotgun blasts and melee attacks and are supposed to be more a threat from being invisible but my experience tells me they're a threat even if they weren't invisible. Scallywags can be dealt with by baiting them into molotoving themselves.

...I know... you have to hold the idiot ball... but really?

Black Widow goes back to the Red Room for no given reason and you're confused about why? Even after seeing her dreams included plans of trying to kill "Mother" again? Seriously...

I also hate ending the story on Nanally in some kind of coma, but my annoyance at the idiot ball far overshadows that.

If any of you had two brain cells to rub together, I swear...



Aside: I now require Daffodil/Arlecchino rivalry and angry HLS.

Blood West: Scavengers
Well found a Bug. Wendigoes (big enemies of Chapter 1, skull on chest shoots spirit enemies and destroying it makes them go full quad bike at you. They have mini-boss HP. Burial grounds has them in swarms and the Chapter 1 Boss summons them if you don't pop the Evil Saplings before entering the Boss Arena) gain invulnerability sometimes because they feel like. Been doing this save/load trick that free rerolls the missions (hope they never Patch that out but 100% guarantee they will) solely to get Glass Cannon Mutators. This makes all enemies have 1HP but them both better at hearing you and able to 1 shot you as well (says increases their Damage by 1,000% but, well, that increase is self evident about what it really means).. Took 5 rusty pistol and 1 sawed off headshot to down one. Got killed by another while I was seeing the splats exploding off it from hitting it repeatedly in the head with the Drunken Master (I have seen it work on other wenidgoes and the Forums have a Thread about the instant kill bow not working on wendigoes so this isn't me). Because the Game decided to cheat I decided to cheat back and try to force close the program in hopes it wouldn't Save but apparently it deletes the Inventory, resets and Level, and Saves the Character because I came back with the Vigilante at Level 2 and absolutely nothing in the Inventory. had to go get him killed. Now I picked up the Big Shot. She immediately started with my preferred loadout and due to a lack of experience with them I didn't realize rifles were more stable then revolvers/pistols. I thought the only difference was the range and damage. I usually choose to go it full with revolvers because of the cowboy hat that both increases the already higher ranged damage, range, and 99.9...9% removal of sway on revolvers (and because people couldn't tell the difference now also pistols). But with all enemies only having 1HP and unlikelihood of getting the 10 pint cap? Why bother?

Found a new enemy type I hate alongside the Broken Screams. They generalized the Cursed Giant's tentacles and they appear in swarms. These things launch acid but the spawned in ones respawn when killed and appear in clusters rather then singles. Got caught off from the back entrance to the swamp fort because they decided to flood the side path up the plateau. There was a wendigo in the entrance. So after finding out the tentacles are a permanent fixture I was prepared to lose Big Shot on the first day because I fucking hate Rogue-anythings. Luckily the headshot worked.

Steam World: Build
Kiddos' first city builder Game, nothing to write home about. Cute but still zero explanation why the planet is randomly exploding, Dig 2 didn't really explain anything besides it just happening. Simplistic Story about a Post-Post-Apocalypse Setting where robots took over after Humanity went (near to) Extinct and the robots stylize themselves after steampunk Wild West.

Just found out the new Muramasa Demon Blade remaster is going to be on Steam, I can't believe Vanillaware is actually going to release a PC port of one of their games. Dragon's Crown and Unicorn Overlord when?

As I pointed out on Discord, this new (or is it "new"?) Muramasa title isn't just being done by Vanillaware; Marvelous is also being credited, and they are more than willing to release stuff on PC.
 
I've never played it before so I'm probably going to pick up the Halo 1 remake at some point. Some of the skull modifiers look interesting, though I suspect the one for unlimited ammo will only be collectible near the end of the game. Though I wonder if the modifiers will be unlocked for all future playthroughs on all difficulties.

After playing the demo, I'm vastly under impressed by the content I accessed before I got sick and tired of playing at 5 to 10 frames a second.
