Don't tempt me with the pinball tables. I finally pried myself out of the daily play and score chasing. I already have flower and never heard of Steamworld Dig. I do like chilled-out non-games.

Steamworld Dig is one of those cross-sectional, dig down, get minerals, sell minerals, get better equipment, dig deeper games. Unlike a lot of similar games, It's not random and you're playing through a (pretty thin) story. It's not amazing or anything, but I enjoyed it well enough for the price.

Too many dick jokes and not enough tactical uses for your weaponry in that, I would say. One of the brilliant things about RE4 was it was one of the first games to really make various enemy hit-spots have tangible differences for shooting 'em there, often setting up a devastating roundhouse kick or whatever.

I'd buy Suplex DLC for TEW.

I had fun with that game, but it was incredibly too easy. I played through on hard and the dodge roll made you invulnerable to every single enemy except the one attack by the final boss.

Is it better than Super Motherload? That game got really boring about mid-way.

It's worth noting that the biggest problem with the black bars in TEW isn't one of aesthetics, it's that they obscure poo poo off screen that you need to see, like interaction markers and even occasionally items. Really frustrating.

TEW didn't sound too interesting at first but after hearing how much it is like RE4 I'm having second thoughts. Maybe I'll pick it up in a few months once the price drops.

One thing I should warn people about comparing it to RE4 is that it's played completely straight, no roundhouses/suplexes, no (intentionally?) goofy dialogue and set pieces. It's really trying hard to be a 'proper' horror game, for better or worse.

Still, it IS a japanese game, so the writing seems already kind of batshit and there was also a journal by the main character in which he casually mentions checking out his partner's rear end.

I mean, it doesn't seem as dull as most serious horror game writing.

I also like games I can sink a ton of hours into or are really immersive, if short.

Hehe, the Addams Family Kickstarter for Pinball Arcade was successful so let me just plant the bug in your ear.

If you haven't already then hop on Transistor, Valiant Hearts, Costume Quest 2, Guacamelee, or Child of Light.

I know it came out months ago on Xbox One and at a bad time on PS4 right before Destiny, but Garden Warfare is a really fun game.

Hard to believe it's an EA budget title considering it's getting more free support and DLC than any non-Valve game I can think of.

If you just got your PS4 then you missed a free Resogun but it's worth paying for.

This space is reserved for future considerations.
I don't know if I'd call Evil Within 100% serious, it's more that Mikami seems to base all of his games on 70s-80s Italian dubbed horror so you will have creepy atmosphere combined with dialogue like "Are YOU from AROUND HERE?" (said to a man covered in blood who is stumbling around) and one of the early cutscenes has Sebastian doing a kick flip off an enemy while shooting a second enemy.

Does the PS4 in theory have the ability for developers to automatically save video clips like the Xbox One does? I'm just reminded of the tales from Peggle 2 saving thousands of worthless clips to the drive but the core idea isn't a bad one, just would need to be implanted in a smart way.

I seem to recall Sniper Elite 3 automatically saving some of my shots even though I didn't recall setting it to do that.

I would guess that it does have that ability but after a bunch of embarrassing stories about games consuming huge amounts of disk space without the user's knowledge devs are hesitant to flip it on. Both platforms also have an easy system-level way for the user to do that manually if they want.

wait what the gently caress PS4 is getting Nidhogg??! and I seriously thought I'd have trouble hitting the $100 spent in October to get that rebate. Nidhogg, Peggle, Octodad's about to go on sale, (possibly) The Evil Within..... that's it right there.

Maybe it's just cuz it's midday and no one knows yet that it's out but trying Multiplayer connects me to NO one. If anyone is definitely Nidhogging right now, Friend me "ILL_MITCH"

It's pretty good at feeling like a solid noir detective thing, moreso than LA Noire, even. I was having a blast putting together the clues and unraveling conspiracy after conspiracy, and then the last episode hits and it felt like they were just scrambling to wrap things up. Maybe they weren't focusing on the mystery and I was looking for it to be something it wasn't, but it's a great game that just couldn't quite stick the landing, in my opinion.
