| Sending another fleet to their doom against the Antarans |
The following post is part of a series of posts that are published every Sunday to update readers on what Mark G has been up to with respect to finishing off games on his "Pile of Shame". The games to target are picked by Choicest Games contributors Choona, Luke and myself. As I'll be talking about my progress through these games, there may be spoilers ahead, especially for games containing a narrative. Consider yourself warned.
Master of Orion 2
- Picked by Me
- Percentage Complete = 30%
Okay, I’ve learned a couple of things about
Master of Orion 2 this week: both are telling me I should start a new game. Firstly, the Klackons really suck since the Uncreative trait really hamstrings your ability to field an effective fleet. I’ve researched all useful technology that I can with the Klackons and I can’t beat the Antarans, even with a "full" fleet (i.e. one that accommodates all the command points I have available). This brings me to my second issue: command points.
Since I’m allied with the Psilons and they’ve already colonised 75% of the galaxy, there’s nowhere left for me to settle and no colonies means no star bases and no star bases means no command points and no command points means not enough ships.
So, unless I decide to break my alliance with the Psilons (who control 75% of the galaxy
and have a tech advantage) it’s pretty much game over for me.
Hand of Fate
- Picked by Me
- Percentage Complete = 91%
On hold while I’m playing other games. 😊
Stardew Valley
- Picked by Me
- Percentage Complete = 20%
On hold while I’m playing other games. 😊
The Testament of Sherlock Holmes
- Picked by Me
- Percentage Complete = 25%
I haven’t made any further progress on this – it’s now on hold while I am distracted by… well… a lot of other games 😊.
Battlefield 1
- Picked by Me
- Percentage Complete = 10%
I haven’t made any further progress on this – it’s now on hold while I am distracted by… well… a lot of other games 😊.
Door Kickers
- Picked by Luke
- Percentage Complete = 30%
Wow. These missions keep getting more difficult (as you’d expect, of course, but I’m finding that I have to retry missions all the time now). I’ve switched my squad back to M4s due to the ability to better control your fire along with better range (shotguns are quite messy on hostage missions). I’ve also learned to take advantage of different avenues of attack since the hostages are often used as human shields now and unless you want to immediately fail the mission by accidentally shooting hostages, you have to become a bit smarter on which direction you attack the tangos from.
Nothing
- Picked by Choona
- Percentage Complete = 0%
I’m still playing
Town of Salem as it’s that good, and Choona has still not picked a new game for me to play yet – oh well, means I get a break of sorts 😊 (and hopefully some time to catch up with reviews!)
(Hahahahaha, who am I kidding?)
