I normally don't do these kind of posts...but I felt the need this time just because its the first time in awhile i actually got absorbed in a game for hours and lost 'time' (irony incoming :ROFLMAO:)

I bought another copy of Blades Of Time (my region locked key which turned out to be EU)--lol @LuckyStrike1305

I finally got to install it where i'm staying last night and started up expecting to be where the demo began, I actually figure i'm close to reaching that point...which is quite a ways in if your new (again) at the game.

I have to say though, for an older title it aged extremely well...the story was left out of the demo and honestly is pretty cheesy with bad VA lol.

But the gameplay, controls, combat mechanics, graphics (4K HDR), etc. are still as good, if not better than the original demo was, particularly the graphics, but thats to be expected on PC.

I was expecting to play some sluggish memory of a game that was good for its time (pun-intended) and i find myself debating if I hit a checkpoint to be sure I wanted to shut it down and continuing anyways until I had to tear myself away.

Now don't get me wrong, its not the best game in the world, you likely need to have liked it before or enjoy time rewind in general (it can be infuriating lol)...but it always keeps you wanting to reach the next area or find the next power-up in a way that keeps you never wanting to turn it off--something many new games can't accomplish anymore.

It dragged me in like the old Assassin's creed games did before they murdered the series with new mechanics, always looking to the next objective or treasure instead of wondering which choice to make so you don't miss something...which you can, but its your last concern while your aiming your rifle around for hidden enemies, creating an aura to see certain enemies and chests, or getting rushed by five enemies that can only be hit from behind by a shadow of yourself in time reversal.

I just figured I'd share my opinion on this old title that never really got much hype...I definitely suggest giving it a try if your a fan of DMC / Heavenly Sword style games...since I can't find much else to compare it to with the unique mechanics except maybe a Prince of persia title, but that was not even close to the combat involved.
Have you tried Bullet Witch?

there's also one @jugglecuber42 who asked for Souls)
also thank you for you generosity and kindness. I don't know how you still haven't killed me... oh, we're living in different countries, that's the only explanation XDD

EDITED:
Thanks for the effort in trying to get me a game I want! Maybe another time!

its already posted before and talked before eldest is excluded from this giveaway.
That's why I didn't bother after somewhat missing the giveaway. Also don't worry about it, you give out so much not everyone can get the game they want.

Also later I'll send you a pm about some games I have to add to your next giveaway.

Wtf kind of mangled address did you send me too? lmao.

What the hell is the actual thread name? Translate Hex--written in russian :ROFLMAO:

I can clearly see the thread name, trying to be flashy you made it look sketchy as a URL, i'm sure if I translated the hex it would actually spell it out.

And btw, decent reviews, terrible fucking game for my first pit stop.

No, but I was one of the few who probably would have lol. It got 💩 on pretty bad in reviews...I don't like shooters (even the gun in Blades of time annoys me lol) so that might have killed that one for me....but for the price on sale I almost bought it anyways a few times.

That definitely did not help...and I still haven't seen any time manipulation almost a hilarious 10 minutes in. Brutal.

They have great documentation for their stuff (huge plus),
Pardon?

Do you mean the top layer of code like C sharp or the ACTUAL C/C-++ code that C Sharp calls 6 functions below the encapsulated two lines of code it now takes to delete an entire computer?

Because I'll be damned if you can find that in the documentation anymore, they actually stripped it out after VS 10 at some point.

In VC 6 you can actually read the source code for the base classes like CString and CFile and see that THEY call the C function _read/_write using the base types ad FILE while using the supposedly non-existent variations of the modern API ReadFile/WriteFile (90 variations etc.) Flags and Attributes...needed ones such as the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT (which just took me twenty minutes to find ONLINE) :ROFLMAO:

Or maybe you mean the pages that literally say Undocumented Microsoft Reserved? yet you can find 40 fucking pages on what words and terminology Microsoft expects its employees to use if you REALLY look in MSDN lmao.

Sorry, this is about as false as it gets...on a plus note the XBox is usually open source on PC almost immediately :LOL:

God bless you started posting about games))) not everything else))).
I didn`t even know about this game, but know i`m interested! Nice that it is made by Gaijin which is russian if i`m not mistaken.
And i support - Heavenly Sword is a must. I just love that story.
Sorry for having multiple interests, including the people here...I guess.

No offense taken, it IS true lol...I should stick to the gaming a bit heavier here.

Who couldn't bet on magicka desperate enough to PM you? lol.

They still suck in Devil Trigger, only good for combo coordination (and I suck at that part), I have a preference toward the Shotgun in DMC...but either way, its bullet time style, not time manipulation. In that game you can literally have multiple clones of your body doing exactly what you did a few moments before (not like vergil's doppelganger delay), you make copies of copies of copies so to speak...all performing the attacks you did previously...kind of intense.
XDDD

Yes, I mean top layer of code. They have great docs for whole .NET platform. Python/Java/Scala could learn from it. If I cared that much about low level languages I would go back to Assembly.

Well, if nobody does the low-level work...the top level stays the same with all its flaws...The Boost library is a good example frequently used, microsoft doesn't even own the rights to half the picture formats like jpeg, music formats like mp3...randomization in gaming is now usually Twister made as open source (Lighting Returns has it in the title screen on PS3), YS Monstrum Nox just used rpmalloc to fix up the performance, a low level assembly based memory library that replaces regular malloc.

Anyone who doesn't just want to make a quick buck should care about it, your using it everyday regardless if you like it or not. Usually made by someone who does care about it.

Getting jobs doesn't require it, but actual understanding of the system does.

Directory.GetAllFiles("C:\*.*", True); // is not programming, its lego blocks for Obama :ROFLMAO:

Sorry 🤷‍♂️

cmp DX, opinion :
je depends ; typo lol (and down it all goes)
