They're still fun. I'd definitely suggest playing through 'em before doing Shenmue 3, but if you're not up for it, S3 has a recap "movie" to watch.

Yen's a grouchy brat in TW3, but the lengths she goes to in order to help definitely prove her commitment. That said, when I first played through, I was Team Triss, haha.

You don't need to, but it helps. There's a decision you can make in TW3 that changes the game slightly based on TW2 choices, so it helps to not go into it blind (you can miss out on a sidequest, etc.).

I should look into clinch stuff, 'cause I'm getting tired of 3-on-1 situations where assclowns are running faster than me, grappling, then kneeing me in the stomach and stuff.

Anyway, did some main quest stuff today. I went on a hunt with Hans, hunting hares and boars, only to wind up fighting the most dangerous game. The Cumans went down pretty well, and for my reward, I got given a horsey (Pebbles) to ride. I'm glad I don't have to carry herbs and crap all the way to it -- the inventory movement stuff is easy in this case. Also took a perk that makes my pony slower but with a larger inventory (weight?) limit.

Then, poor Neuhof got raided with a bunch of horses slaughtered and villagers murdered. I've been following the quest for several hours, and it's always ending up in people hiding in the woods. When does anything good happen in "The Woods"? I'm pretty sure that's a Norm MacDonald bit, haha. Anyway, I found some dude named Reeky in a mineshaft, but then three of Runt's thugs showed up and murdered us. Might try again later.

Can also do some kinda courtship quest with Theresa I keep putting off. Should go do that.

Wasn't really paying attention to the per-inning scoring, but yeah, if the losing pitcher only did a few outs, the starter probably did fairly well. I use the "simulate to next appearance" option a lot, so I don't always follow my teammates' plays.

Sometimes doing those long efforts can kinda suck, though. I've definitely done performances where I have a 0-0 game going into the 8th or 9th, get relieved, then the closer blows the whole game like a dumbass. I don't get the loss, but it's kind of a waste.

That reminds me, though -- part of the reason I could develop my dude so well is that I was a closing pitcher for three years. This means you can get into the bullpen, etc., to develop stats a lot quicker than as a starter, plus all the challenges to boost stat caps are easier. Example: instead of getting 10 outs with your primary pitch, get 2 instead. Very helpful for those looking to break out in the league.

Yeah, the dynamic difficulty can be too punishing, too early. I remember smug CaC bastards in Double-A throwing 99 MPH and stuff, while my dude is struggling with basic stats. On the flipside, I never minded pitching to batters on dynamic difficulty, since it's fairly satisfying doing the mind games.

Never had a true perfect game or no-hitter in any baseball game despite thousands upon thousands of hours. Had one or two on MVP 05 by maxing out a pitcher, nerfing all the opposing batters to 0, and playing on the easiest level. But that's cheating.

I save scummed some things (like being the all-time saves leader or breaking Joe Dimaggio's 56-game hit streak), but that's mostly because the simulation aspect of the game -- i.e. when you're resting up and not playing -- isn't that great. If you want to get some of the achievements/trophies for these things, consider making a new CaC with a strikeout build. None of my pitches go over 95 MPH and the announcers treat him like a golden god. A balanced repertoire helps, though. (I'm sure you know this, but once you get to the majors, you can have your teammates teach you their pitches so you don't have to have just three the whole time.)

Does NBA 2K19 have similar character creation, stat points, etc.? I think it was given out on PS+ last year, but I never played it. I think I heard it was hard to raise stats or something.

I haven't had too much trouble with enemy archers so far, but yeah, they can be annoying in most games. Once I master some sword stuff, I'd like to work archery in, if only for variety.

Let's see...what have I done today... I went on rounds with Nightengale, now that I'm a full-fledged member of Radzig's band of merry men. Beat the crap out of Capon in a fistfight, too, and now Hanush is gonna make me squire for the clown. Not sure how that's going to go, but I'm expecting (a) an attempt on my life (b) an attempt on Capon's life and we become buddies afterwards.

Also, tried the sword tournament and lost, so that was a waste of time, prize-wise.

I've put in probably a few hundred hours in this game and 99% of it has been RTTS stuff. I've made other pitchers, but this dude has my favorite pitch mix so far (4-seamer, cutter, slurve, splitter, vulcan changeup), so I kinda ignore everyone else.

Sada_Pop posted...

Sliders maxed or no?

You mean change the difficulty to pitch easier or make the opponents crappier? No, I think all of those settings are on default still. I definitely moved stuff around to bat easier (for instance, playing Hall of Fame-tier pitchers in Double-A ball is, frankly, stupid), though that may have been on my Cincy character.

Staumont from the A's was the losing pitcher. Not sure if that's a real person or not, since I'm about 10 years into this CaC run, so a lot of the greats have retired and generated characters have moved up. This was the first game of the season and my first time in this league (I originally played for the Giants, then Phillies).

Nice. I've been playing various editions of the Show for years now and still don't have a no-hitter.

I've come close a few times but I always blow it late game.

Don't give up! It took a few years before I could get my first one, and even then, I (probably) could only do it on the build that emphasizes control. Gotta get your stamina up and unlock some helpful perks, like the one that gives you a boost of energy halfway through the game. I also have the Workhorse perk (maybe from doing so many complete games?) so I lose energy at a slower rate than normal, too.

I've had a lot of shutouts, a few no-hitters, and now this milestone. Anything pitching feats left besides a 20-strikeout game?

Maybe aged a little. D2 is a lot smoother in important areas, although you may not like all the gameplay tweaks. IIRC, peeking out from cover was nerfed somewhat.

Dishonored 1 and 2 are both solid games.
DOTO is basically standalone DLC for D2, and is much shorter than the main games.

If you didn't get the Dishonored GOTY edition when it was given out on PS+ years ago, you should track it down -- lots of fun stealth action in a brutal world. DOTO is probably the least essential, but is cheap and sometimes bundled with D2, so there's that.

Just finished it -- pretty enjoyable! Doing Pulp Fiction storytelling is sure to lose the neophytes, but for those in the know, it was a good ride. Other than a some CGI silliness and crappy Nilfgaard uniforms (they look like Power Ranger putties), I don't have many complaints.

Always heard Coral had all her limbs chopped off and was screaming when someone found her, though. Guess they toned that brutality down a bit.

EDIT: And Dandelion's Witcher song was catchy as hell. They should give an award to it.
