You're right! Added, thank you :)

Also added Crime Cities.

Oh, look, thanks to this post one can run Homeworld: Emergence in widescreen resolution, neat. Maybe I'll play it next. Just maybe.

I've decided to play Crime Cities. Got it free during the Techland sale last month, so I thought to myself "why not?".

I've never played this game before, so there's no nostalgia or childhood memories about it. However, I've played old games recently that I also never played before and got impressed and/or enjoyed them a lot. This one, however, has not caused a first good impression, tbh.

I'm playing on medium and find the game to be hard. The first couple of missons were a breeze, but then, the following ones, started to through a lot of enemies at me at once. Since they have shields, they take a lot of bullets to die. I gain money from the missions but it's not enough. I spend a lot of it on recharging shields and ammo. Getting new weapons is costly, so I'm always kinda screwed. Also, even when I'm not on missions I get attacked by too many enemies.

This game is no joke!

Has anyone played it? Did you find it difficult or am I playing it wrong?

Forcing myself to go through Crime Cities. I just beat the first planet (apparently there's 3 of them).
Moving from one planet to the other, I had to leave my flying car behind, so all my weapons are now gone, so each planet is a new beginning! All the money I had from the missions I did? All gone too!

I don't like to quit games, but this one is tempting me a lot...

If it's really that bad then why not move to something else? ;)


I've completed 4 or 5 missions of HW:Emergence a while ago when it turned out I can make it work with modern screen resolutions, but nothing since then. I liked it so far, but I wasn't in the mood for an RTS.

It's due to my stubborness :D. I'm taking my time with it. Just playing it when I feel like it and only for short periods.

I updated the op with this.

In such case I'd probably considered one planet is enough to mark the game as somehow completed :D

So I just finished the second planet of Crime Cities.

For some reason I actually enjoyed it. I think the game finally clicked with me. Not that it drastically changes when one goes from one planet to the other, quite the contrary. But I think this time I was aware of what to expect so I adapted to it.

Now I'm on the third and final planet, so I'm willing to finish the game now, more than ever.

Impressive – congratulations! It's not an easy achievement :)

Thanks :).

I'm glad I kept going, but the will to drop it was high at some point.

Finally finished Crime Cities.

The last planet went faster than I was expecting. Maybe it had less missions than the others (I didn't count them). However, the last mission has a spike in difficulty that's ridiculous. I had to be constantly saving, just to avoid repeating some sections. It's a good test for one's patience.

Overall, I ended up enjoying it more than I though it, so I'm happy with it.

I also started playing Daikatana with the the 1.3 fan made patch installed. It's going to be the second time I play this game. Back then I remember enjoying the game, despite all the negativity it carries. Sure, it's no masterpiece and even with the fan patch, the AI companions can be a pain, but overall I enjoyed it. And the fact that each episode has its own flavour make things more interesting.

Anyway, last night I just played the first level, and sure mechanical frogs and mosquitos are not the most engaging foes, but I don't really mind it. The main problem for me is actually be able to see them. Since I'm color blind, I find it more difficult to spot them in the environment.

Despite that, I'm looking forward to continue my playthrough.

Nice, congrats!

Thank you :)

Congratulations!
And you're not going for easy pickings either... And I'm referring to them not being easy to like more than the actual difficulty.

Thank you :)

Eh eh, true story.
However, unlike Crime Cities, with Daikatana I know what I'm getting into, since it's my second time with it.
Like I said, it's not a masterpiece, but with the fan patch the game become a cool fps, IMO.
