I felt like playing Anomaly again. It's been long enough that I think I can have fun with it again, it's one of those games where it's more enjoyable to be rusty and suck at it rather than be completely warmed up.
And it was fun to post along playing it last time, so I'll give it another shot. Why not.
Going to be more lenient with the difficulty this time around, and also not. I'm doing ironman, but with 3 lives and one extra per 24 hours. I think I prefer it that way, being allowed to make a couple mistakes rather than having it all be gone in a single one. It's still gonna make me have to play really careful, so it does it's job.
But I'm also doing survivalist instead of scavenger. Means I don't get to start with an MP5 and stock up on everything I could want by the first 20 minutes. The thing I didn't like about survivalist is how much you had to run around grinding quests in order to progress at all, but it's also just too easy to get stuff when you do scavenger. Yes, you can adjust the sliders to make progression however you want it to be, but I can't be bothered to figure all that out.
So, I guess it's fair enough to have some extra lives if I'm going to have to grind. I'd rather not spend ten hours running around just to get semi-decent equipment then lose it all in a single death.
And I'm still not too stoked about that grind, but whatever. Hope I don't get burnt out on the game by the first couple hours or something. But it'd be okay if I did, I kind of have some other things I wanna do.
Anyway.
I started as a loner, for some reason. That was my first mistake. Should've started as Freedom. It's a much faster progression at the start because Monolith spawns nearby and you can do a whole lot of quests, and I also consider the warehouses to be easier to get around in than Cordon, to be honest.
Starting in the rookie village means I'll have even more of a tedious start. Oh well, I'm not going to restart.
