Back 4 Blood

Back 4 Blood is Better Than Florida

by

We had rain today! Perfect weather for trying out some of the new blueberry tea I stocked up on! I usually drink a black tea with blueberry, but also decided to try a green tea with blueberry. It also has hibiscus and some other stuff, extremely refreshing!I finished assembling the super secret care package, vibed to some music, did a bit of animating, and played a couple acts of Back 4 Blood with Yutram.

We had a better time getting around tonight, this time there was less dying. We dialed back the difficulty so that we could find our way around better. Did a better job of taking in the sights, and crossed some achievements off our list. I still like the Left 4 Dead’s better, but tonight I think Back 4 Blood grew on me a little bit more.

Back 4 Blood: 1st Impressions

Yutram and I decided to check out Back 4 Blood tonight. He just recently got it during the Halloween Sale on Steam, and I’ve had it for awhile but never got around to playing it. Given that it’s Hallow’s Eve, we figured this would be the perfect night to check it out!

It’s like a mix of Left 4 Dead, Borderlands 2, and a similar reward system you find in Quake Champions. It has a card system that will buff or de-buff your game on each level, and each character has different stats and abilities. You can also purchase additional improvements for your character and weapons before each match, kinda like Counter Strike, or would it be Terror Strike in this case? 😛 We had a good time playing tonight, and now that we have an idea of how to play the game we’ll have to play it again soon.

Thus concludes another Spooktober! It’s been fun keeping to a theme, pretty easy with my collection… did I actually finish any games? No, but I did progress in a lot of them and earned the achievements to prove it! I even started some new adventures. Maybe tomorrow I’ll celebrate with something that may or may not be spooky.

Options – I haz them.

Back 4 Blood: Will I Get It?

by

I’ve had a couple friends inquire if I would be grabbing it, and I probably will a sale or two from now (but inevitably it will be a yes). I don’t have time for multiplayer gaming anywhere near like I used to, mostly due to my work hours. That, and the toxic behaviour found in multiplayer games these days has encouraged me to stick to single player gaming when I have my alone time. The only thrill I get from dealing with an internet asshole is not having to hold back, other than that it just because tiring, especially after a long day of dealing with assholes in person.

I will get it though! I’ve seen gameplay of it, and from feedback I’ve read it does get good stats under Linux. It might even be fun enough to stream, when I actually stream!
