The new Tex Murphy game - Tesla Effect is one of weeklong deals. Is it worth picking up? It looks pretty sweet if cheesy (in a good way).

Palpek posted:The new Tex Murphy game - Tesla Effect is one of weeklong deals. Is it worth picking up? It looks pretty sweet if cheesy (in a good way). If you like Tex Murphy games, it is just as good as the last couple and a fitting continuation of Tex adventures. It does continue from a cliffhanger from Overseer, but does a basic summary for new players. Blattdorf a few posts previous mentioned it worked for him coming in fresh and was enjoyable so does seem to work for new and old players. If you are already familiar with Tex games, then definitely yes. Click on everything to hear Tex banter

I "played" that. It's supposedly a good representation of how depressed people (with the actual illness, not depressed because you didn't win a lottery) feel like. Can't say either way

I finished one run through of Long Live the Queen. And I got run through a few times. I was surprised by how short it was though once you prepare for the few difficulty gates the game has. There's essentially a few checks that will end the game if your skills fail. Overall pretty fun. Anime as hell though, not helped by the fact that I was basically dressed in a fairy outfit. It... it boosts your magic okay!

Looked pretty cool otherwise.

I have no particular love or hate towards anime artstyle and LLTQ is pretty great. It's not a difficult game at all to finish with an ending, it's all about the different ways you can take to the end.

Maybe I'm just lucky but with a single exception, it's always been worth it to unpack them and sell the cards separately for me.  I have these three and they all seem to be worth unpacking for max profit. a7m2 fucked around with this message at 12:28 on Aug 12, 2014 |

Away all Goats posted:Has anyone played GhostControl Inc.? It looks like a Ghostbusters game in an XCOM style. That's a good description - Ghostbusters game with XCOM style combat (maybe not as much cover mechanic though). There's some team and home base management, and equipment research/upgrade elements as well. I had quite a bit of fun with it. Kragger99 fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Aug 12, 2014 |

One minute you're off to a birthday party, the next ARROW TO THE GUT. Sure, but it's a fairly short game so it doesn't long to figure out how to avoid eating the chocolate and whatnot. You can get to the end within an hour, but it's unlikely to be a particularly good ending. Reminds me that another thing I enjoyed was that having different skills leveled up affected the ending slides, like having high History leading to Elodie improving the education system.

So, semi serious question; how the hell do you follow up Metal Gear Rising? What on earth could I possibly play next that won't feel flat and dull? I mean I haven't really sunk my teeth into Rising's DLC, but they play so differently I want to do something completely different for a couple of weeks first, then learn to play as Sam  There's a couple of little things I want to achieve in Rising tomorrow, but then what? I feel so lost.

He did have Bayonetta but didn't like it much, not sure if we brought it to Aus with us. Don't get much chance to use the consoles anyway, cos he hogs them after work.

Looking at my backlog I have Cook, Serve, Delicious Dishonored Mirrors Edge Marlow Briggs Bioshock Infinite and a shitload of other stuff which isn't Metal Gear Rising. I can't decide. I'm going to sleep on it and play more Rising tomorrow.

Or play Assassin's Creed 4, you can get so drunk even the loading screen knows it.   (It's quite sad storywise there though  )

Dishonoured is the pick of that lot, as long as you're okay with stealth rather than all out action. Actually, I'll check on that. Did anyone else find the combat in that game pretty bad? Teleporting onto a roof and then jumping off and landing knife first on a dudes head was great, as was possessing half an army one at a time and walking them individually to the edge of something tall and then throwing them off, but when I pissed someone off, it stopped being any good. It felt messy and awkward, particularly towards the end when you started getting harder enemies who wouldn't just let you block and then behead them one by one. It was really satisfying trying to play stealth, and running away was kind of fun, but if I ever turned to fight it was just kind of bad. Was that just me?

MooCowlian posted:Dishonoured is the pick of that lot, as long as you're okay with stealth rather than all out action. It was kinda clunky, yeah. But I never really had a "problem" with it. I'd mainly just spam the whirlwind and time slowing abilities, then run around stabbing guys through the neck. Then if I found an opening maybe I'd run away. By the end, I thought I had "high chaos" but nothing that people were describing about the high chaos final level applied to my experience. I snuck into the base, nobody had poisoned anybody that I recall... the ending seemed to reflect the high chaos part but it wasn't a "bad" ending. But I didn't really start with the mass killing until the last fourth of the game where I decided it'd be better to just play through my mistakes rather than reloading every single time I'm spotted.

PowerBeard posted:Or wait a few months till Bayonetta 2 is released on Steam like everything else. Nintendo basically funded Bayonetta 2 by themselves so I wouldn't count on it. Platinum does have a game based on The Legend of Korra coming out on Steam soonish (I've heard September) that looks like it will be pretty good, though, if you absolutely need a Platinum fix in the next couple of months.

Play shadow of the colossus and you'll forget all about Rising. I mean, what's more badass, a super cyborg ninja doing a bunch of flashy poo poo, or a guy with just a bow, a sword, a horse and one hell of a grip killing monsters that are 100 times bigger than him. edit: you'll need a PS3 for that though.

PowerBeard posted:Or wait a few months till Bayonetta 2 is released on Steam like everything else. Bayonetta 2 not being on a console I want to play is the greatest crime of its generation in gaming. What an incredibly fun series. People who don't like Bayonetta are like moviegoers who don't like The Fifth Element. I don't trust 'em. This coming from a person who hates God of War and Devil May cry and basically the whole genre of hit butan to make bloody combo games. Palpek posted:Play Binary Domain. This is incorrect, as he didn't tell you to also play Alpha Protocol.
