GAMERS LAIR

[silent_passenger]

Xuan-Yuan Sword: the Gate of of Firmament

This game actually 'looked' kind of promising until I tried to save my game and it gave me an error message saying 'server error', no offline saving?

You made me download 25GB ad i can't save the fucking game on my drive?

Are you even serious? Delete (literally)

I was thinking of trying the Xuan Yuan franchise for a long time because they describe it as a "wuxia RPG" and I didn't play any kung fu RPG since the good old Jade Empire.

Be careful what you wish for.

Man, I LOVE Dorkly XDDDD

i watched a few time one of my sons playing ONE PIECE World Seeker, found it empty and repetitive

...just like the actual anime series itself... XDDD
*yeah, I'm not a fan of One Piece...Boa Hancock and Nico Robin are hawt though))*

twich quest don't work for me today, i don't see any AWA widget on the page

Can you try on another browser and see if it works or did you try it already ? , Why cant anything stay unbroken at AWA ? , I had to ask for things to go smoothly and jinx it, Sorry Eox. I should've seen it coming, with that DBD Community Event on the way something surely was gonna break or stop working at AWA.

it's UP now!)

that was posted here already, maybe even by me (considering that I have it in the library already), but yeah, the game looks neat ^, ^

Really? I searched I didn't find any post about it and it's first time I see it. It looks cool like it reminds me snes graphic

Had excaliburian already, actually through I paid like 99 cents for it, its in my current play list.

Thanks

oh I didn't know it was paid game, that's why it looks polish game. did you buy on directly on steam or with a bundle? On steamdb price history it was always free, maybe they scammed you if you paid it outside steam. https://steamdb.info/app/1739530/

So I just went to replace a dying 1TB HDD with a new 4TB Enterprise Toshiba HDD--one of the best drives I've ever come across for anyone who might care, quiet as a whisper even with more copy operations than Win 7 can handle and a disk clone program writing to it all at the same time, not so much as a hiccup. Literally a masterpiece as far as HDDs go, I'll definitely be using these for now on.

Anyways...I forgot that a 1:1 clone wouldn't boot off of a GPT drive and ofc MBR drives are limited to 2TB by default (Windows 7 clone), no MBR2GPT handy.

So I go to replace the drive and swap to Windows 10 after repeating the copy process practically 3 times...and then it hits me.

The drive is so old now the screw holes stripped and I had to put in bigger screws (which would strip the NEW drive), and who the fuck brings case screws as a necessity?

So I got a backup that needs to be converted and came in a fucking letter envelope with bubble wrap as a box that i had to put in my PC part box and can't even use yet.

At least I have a backup of the data, but you wanna talk about a fucking waste of my life and money I didn't have right now.

Be fucking jesus...I really need my own place again, I can't even do a minor repair on my own PC because my DVD drive is buried and my fucking parts are somewhere else, not to mention the small area I'm stuck in.

All that and the only thing I accomplished was feeling defeated and putting a brand new drive in a packing box without any good protection

Me and life are about to throw down if it doesn't start shining some sun in my direction

I feel you the having a dying hdd is the worse thing can happen with a pc.

Be careful what you wish for.

Lol the sun was so annoying but even phanto was bad too

So I just ran through some of my recent additions to my library.

This "bug" really sucks isn't made in China?

ONE PIECE World Seeker

I don't know how much more of an RPG this game can actually be called compared to the rest, you have stealth knockouts right along with the annoying alert icons over enemies but its still melee based combat, you seem to get some skills that allow more open world travel (when the game doesn't send you back to a checkpoint for looking over an edge), I have to think this would be the type of disappointment I'll experience when i finally get one of the Atelier Ryza games...some sexy chics, but none of the actual gameplay i was promised by the previews.

At the least the Anime scenes and story seem like they should be pretty cool, but i'm not very impressed for what it was supposed to be.

Seems like they added some choices and skill selection to add a genre tag to it.

Time will tell on this one

Nice, I haven't never seen the anime, I don't do it is so long I don't have the time it will take forever to read/watch. Anyways game looks cool and I saw the trailer when he is flying in the city it looks like Spiderman aahhaa

Tears Of Avia

This has more promise than most so far, reminds me of an odd mix Might And Magic: Clash Of Heroes and any normal turn based SRPG game.

The story is pretty much make an excuse to hit the next map in the beginning, but combat was decent and the graphics are pretty nice, as well as the ability to free roam the area when not in battles, I haven't found anything useful while doing it, but its still nice to be able to survey the battlefield.

Srpg sounds good, it is genre that you can play at your own pace with turns.
Best genre you can play while doing something else: during the pandemic situation when everybody forced to be stay at home, I ended Shining Force while I was doing cyclette this way I combined fitness with gaming lel.

Shiness The Lightning Kingdom

This game actually seems fun from go, your a little Ninja Waki (wacko lol) who crashes on some Mystical island and speaks to Terra the earth fairy

Its fucking weird, but combat is interesting even with no skills yet and exploration (some invisible walls aside) is pretty fun, already hunting down treasure and getting into this one, so my insight ends here for now

Never heard about it. It looks nice action rpg adventure, it is great you can play different characters.

I'm not doing full reviews or anything (we'll leave that to buhrobee lol), but its rare I go on a game testing spree lately and figured I'd share my thoughts.

On a side note, all the games had generic controller support even and all of them did it right, even Xuan-Deletian.

thanks for sharing thoughs I like when other users do it, so we can discover new games.

thanks!

Nice reviews!!
i wishlisted those 2 since i discover their existence some time ago...

i watched a few time one of my sons playing ONE PIECE World Seeker, found it empty and repetitive

World seeker isnt any good, they didn't do any good opiece game till now, and tried to pull some rpg players into it,if they did something like dbz kakarot, most people would love to play

Most people will play cause they like opiece

Edit i may have confused the opiece game, so gonna take a look and return

Yes it was the wrong game, but i still think this is better than odissey

 

[DanteFromHell89]

well, now that's really strange...
I've checked when I've added it to the library - it was April 1st 2022... but I've become a member of The Lair only in August of that year, so...
Now I'm confused...
In any case, THANKS for the link to the neat retro game))

No problem, you're welcome, it can happen there are too many free games around to track them all. Maybe it was April's fool game lol

Dead by Daylight Arena Community Event on AWA has started today: https://na.alienwarearena.com/steam/community-event/arena-community-event

Of course you need DBD in your library to be a part of this. Maybe they will have a free weekend down the line, hopefully people who don't have it can also join the event then.

 

[klingki]

tried edge and firefox, same story except that some streams show this "widget' (see pic below) and some others don't...if you clicked on the options the only things that works is "report the extension" and a link to the old version...i'm sure they're working on the udpdate, cause i also seen some hours ago a stream named "test test" hosted by Cartire (in the twitch quest list)

no need to feel sorry, this is not your fault

I haven't seen the AWA Twitch widget in like at least a month, maybe more. This is an ongoing problem that has affected some more than others, but I've had one of the worst times with it. If you ever get that fake little widget but not the full one, you can always go to this website to copy and paste the code into the browser console on the Twitch stream page: Paste this into your browser console to hopefully start earning rewards

That's my daily ritual now, and it seems like it's working ok, just annoying.

That would be great) To be honnest, I want that game in my library just 'cause of the Resident Evil characters/maps/monsters, but free weekend would begreat too ^___^

Well, it was solved a dozen of Lair's pages ago, but I geuss it was a short term relief...

That's my daily ritual now, and it seems like it's working ok, just annoying.

Literally me playing Lords Mobile for Lootboy's diamonds and collecting every single one in the Lotboy's app itself every day for the last two month XDDD
Well, at least I've got the 5$ card and it worked))

Nice reviews!!
i wishlisted those 2 since i discover their existence some time ago...

i watched a few time one of my sons playing ONE PIECE World Seeker, found it empty and repetitive

I can't say much for Xuan-Yuan sword (which shows my terrible review skilled lol)...I could have at least played it far enough to give a better opinion than no local save game, deleted

Shiness actually impressed me, i highly recommend grabbing that, severely underrated IMO.

I think ONE PIECE seems that way because you can stealth attack your enemies like an Assassins Creed style insta kill...I'm thinking it might be more entertaining to outright walk right into the battles and I hated when people did that in Creed.

Really? I searched I didn't find any post about it and it's first time I see it. It looks cool like it reminds me snes graphic

I've been an RPG addict since the dawn of time...I didn't find that one here.

oh I didn't know it was paid game, that's why it looks polish game. did you buy on directly on steam or with a bundle? On steamdb price history it was always free, maybe they scammed you if you paid it outside steam

Unlike Dante here, I actually realized free games before I came to lair, including Epic, GOG, UPlay, and Steam. The lair forced me to organize my library MUCH better though, so I can't tell what was free or what I paid change for before that.

I THOUGHT I paid for it because I rarely keep free games installed, nevermind in my actual currently playing portion of the library, so it must have made a good impression

Another one I have is Divided Reigns (Demo), they actually used the character names Biggs and Wedge (first generic soldiers in final fantasy 6 etc)

There one other that was extremely good and retro style, but I can't recall the name off hand, I'll post it later.

 

[WhatNitrous]

I was thinking of trying the Xuan Yuan franchise for a long time because they describe it as a "wuxia RPG" and I didn't play any kung fu RPG since the good old Jade Empire.

If you play online, it may be a good game...but I've seen enough terrible cloud saves not to rely on them (DBZ: Kakarot haha)

World seeker isnt any good, they didn't do any good opiece game till now, and tried to pull some rpg players into it,if they did something like dbz kakarot, most people would love to play

Most people will play cause they like opiece

Edit i may have confused the opiece game, so gonna take a look and return

Yes it was the wrong game, but i still think this is better than odissey

Aside from the still broken cloud saves to local saves, DBZ Kakarot is a fans dream game...pretty much the legit story shortened with good cut scenes and free roam inbetween to an extent.

I think the biggest flaw in that came was the constant fucking battles during flight....but I guess considering your always flying (unless you want to avoid those battles it makes sense) lol.

A really really good game and the first one that did justice to the Anime as well as did the gameplay right, I own almost all of them back to gameboy and the PC version like DBZ fighterZ and shit were an insult, I prefer the GBA games...but Kararot is the exception. Better than most I've seen.

EDIT:

They are ALL better than Odyssey, I wouldn't have even bought that. That was the half-breed

 

[DanteFromHell89]

I've been an RPG addict since the dawn of time...I didn't find that one here.

Yeah, it was my mistake, but it's still strange 'cause I can't think of other places where I could find the info on this type of games...

Unlike Dante here, I actually realized free games before I came to lair

Facts say otherwise as we can see...

There one other that was extremely good and retro style, but I can't recall the name off hand, I'll post it later.

 

[Legolas]

Now have to find the place to equip it.

Ok good, Now to Equip it go to your profile and go all the way down to the trophy presentation room and Equip your Twitch artifact in whichever slot you prefer and upgrade them to the limit (which is 2 times) and that will give you +4 ARP to the default Twitch ARP, so that's 15+4 daily Twitch ARP.
Do this before you do tomorrow's Twitch Quest and see for yourself if it's working or not.

Where do you get those fragments to do the upgrades ?

 

[WhatNitrous]

I feel you the having a dying hdd is the worse thing can happen with a pc.

You had it much worse, I'm running 6 drives, 5 with an OS on them

The drive was 7yrs old and I knew it was coming for a long time, trying not to reinstall Windows 7 on a much bigger drive that needs GPT with zero tools including my DVD Drive and all my parts somewhere else was the bitch, I do shit like a hard drive swap before breakfast and coffee

 

[DanteFromHell89]

there's a one huge thing to buy for 100 ARP)
