isn't that the game people say to just watch a LP of because it's the same as playing it and you don't have to deal with the bugs yourself?

So more Heavy Bullets new: Anybody who bought Heavy Bullets while it was still in Early Access will get a giftable copy of the game as thanks. So if you bought it then, check your inventory.

PrinceRandom posted:Lotr is objectively better than GoT This argument is only valid if you use that Manga program to make it. For all the flak GoT gets, it's nothing compared to the grueling, poorly paced slog LoTR was.

So Scrolls is getting a permanent price drop to 5 bucks. I'm curious if Microsoft's buyout of Mojang had anything to do with this (we may never get a campaign mode, ah well.) https://scrolls.com/2014/09/were-reducing-the-price-of-scrolls-heres-why

Do we have a Prison Architect thread on SA? I think this game has hooked me good.

I love the game to death, partially because Twin Peaks, partially because it's just so, so good-dumb, but it's really not something you want to play as a game. Watch a goon LP, or the Giant Bomb LPs if those are more your speed/humor.

Deadly Premonition is a terrible game that people like for some reason.(probably cause of their Twin Peaks hard-on)

It's like Pink Flamingos in gaming form. It's incredibly entertaining by itself and the fact that it's paying a homage to Twin Peaks is only its flavor, not why it's good.

I probably should watch Twin Peaks first before playing DP.

Sober posted:I probably should watch Twin Peaks first before playing DP. Nah, that's really not necessary. I've had quite a few friends try out the game, like it, and then try out Twin Peaks once they realize they're similar. You're good either way.

Twin Peaks is more rooted in reality than Deadly Premonition .

DP's combat is just mediocre, not terrible. They give you more than enough infinite ammo weapons to trivialize it and they made it even easier it on the PC port. It really is a game you need to play, because the immersion helps.

DP's combat is irredeemable, as are the QTEs contained within it.

Quest For Glory II posted:Not with games, I've found. Unless there's an example of a game that used stock "game maker library" assets and was really good. I'm not talking about 'programmer art' either, I mean like the default sprites/models that come with a Game Programming For Idiots engine.

Skimmed the last few pages and haven't seen anybody else asking, so here goes: As someone who enjoyed the hell out of Arkham Asylum and City, is Origins worth getting for £5.74? I've heard lots of complaints about it (several of my friends say something's off with the combat, for some reason, though I have no idea what's apparently been changed), but other than a couple of things (plot not being as good and such), I'm not sure what those were. I've also heard a small minority say it's their favourite of the Arkham games. Shall I just go for it, or wait a bit until it's slightly cheaper (or goes on sale on GMG, where I have credit to spend)?

The expansion Golden Realms for Age of Wonders III is out by the way, price is 9,59 euros/dollars until 23 September. Not a bad price at all if you like the base game, I believe there was a major patch as well.

The city's also a bit bigger and it's pre-hosed, so the bridge is still functional, you don't have the endless flooding. Shorter main campaign though, at least I thought it was.
