So this game diary should be counted for 3/28/2018 not 29th. I think that the websites server must be on the East coast or something. Because its ahead by an hour. (it could also not be on day light saving time). Ether way I would like to see if you would count this journal for 3/28/2018. I was able to go over to one of my friends house and play here they lie. It was really cool to be able to play a VR game. I have not had a lot of experience playing with a VR head set and I found the game play in Here They lie very interesting. The game starts you out on a buss which is somewhat scary. I have a hard time getting scared while playing games, there is just a disconnect that keeps me from feeling fear while playing games. But with that said I think that Here they lie did a good job at making the game feel foreboding and at time a little creepy. I think that as far as horror games go VR is decently the way to go because it adds another layer of interactivity that makes you feel like your apart of the game world which helps enhance the fear factor in the game.Thu, 29 Mar 2018 00:43:46 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=6678&iddiary=11794Prison Architect (PC) - Wed, 14 Feb 2018 08:36:05https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=6598I started having prisoners in my jail. This gave me allot more money which I used to get a few more grants and I was also able to make a munch of jail cells so that my inmates would have their own cell. This proved to be very expensive and I ran into the problem that I did not have enough water supply for all of the cells. I also started to put down more security measures to help make my prison more safe. I started by putting metal detectors out side of the kitchen so that I could stop the inmates from using the forks and knifes from the kitchens as weapons. Which had been a problem earlier in the game.Wed, 14 Feb 2018 08:36:05 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=6598&iddiary=11639Prison Architect (PC) - Tue, 13 Feb 2018 12:33:59https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=6598I spent the first few minutes going through and setting up my level. The game gives you the option of add in and removing certain elements of the game. For example you can decided if you want to allow gangs, you can also choose who will be your warden. depending on your choices here the game play will be effected by these choices. Once the game started I started by laying out the prison. The game gives you limit resources and you have to use those resources to construct your prison. Once you have the layout done you then move on to construction of the prison. Next I had to arrange the room. put beds in the prison cells, put in office supplies in the wardens office ect..Tue, 13 Feb 2018 12:33:59 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=6598&iddiary=11615Shadow of War (PS4) - Thu, 18 Jan 2018 02:44:45https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=6520Today I moved on from the to the next level in mordor. During my time playing I realized that you are able to enslave the orks and get into their minds. This is a interesting part of the game and makes your character very darker / evil. Orks aren't the most friendly of people but at least their not tring to enslave your mind. During the game I had a ork kill me, after he killed me he became a captain and began to Taunt me I spent the next hour trying to kill him. I was determined to kill the ork, the only problem was that he had a lot of men around him and I kept dying which in return made him stronger which in return made me more angry at this character and just encouraged me to seek revenge on the ork even more. This game mechanic is a interesting one because it get you angry and wanting to seek revenge which plays along with the theme of the main character who is also seeking revenge. In a way this mechanic help the player connect with the feelings of the ranger.Thu, 18 Jan 2018 02:44:45 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=6520&iddiary=11532Shadow of War (PS4) - Wed, 17 Jan 2018 15:23:06https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=6520Today I played the part where you are trying to protect the last strong hold of mordor. The ranger has just lost the ring of power, it seams that his relationship with the rath means more to him than the ring of power. Their is a weird spider lady that take the ring away from the ranger, she shows him a vision of the attack on the mordor stronghold. It seams that the ranger cares about what happens to other people but not to much about what happens to the orks. While I was playing I was able to hear some of the conversations of the orks. It gave me a insight into these characters and in a way it made them more human and relatable. I also noticed that when I was killing the orks they would give out cries of desperation which in a way made you feel bad for them.Wed, 17 Jan 2018 15:23:06 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=6520&iddiary=11495Shadow of War (PS4) - Mon, 15 Jan 2018 17:15:43https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=6520This first day I spent most of the time waiting for the dummy game to download. Once the game was installed i started it up and started playing. the first thing you see is the intro which introduces you to the player the ranger. It shows a person that is torn between the present and the past. I have not played the first game so I'm not sure how what is going on. but from what I can tell the main character is searching for something. The first level consisted mostly of stealth as i tired to hide from the orks while at the same time learn the controls of the game. its somewhat frustrating.Mon, 15 Jan 2018 17:15:43 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=6520&iddiary=11440
