RottenK posted:Killer Is Dead is awful. The combat is primitive and tedious, the story wants to be weird like Killer7 but instead is just poorly written and completely meaningless, and the art style is too washed out to look good. It's not a divisive game, it's just bad. Don't put it in the same category as Killer7. I disagree

Quest For Glory II posted:I played AAA games, I played indie games, and then I played even indier games like these I really liked what I played of Papo & Yo because despite the subject matter, the same itself is just so relentlessly upbeat. The favela is bright and cheery and literally comes to life to help you out. Your little robot buddy is always optimistic. And some of the stuff you run across is just straight-up adorable. I will also second that Little Inferno is way more fun than it has any right to be, and the ending is fantastic despite being a full left turn into another genre. And I'm glad someone wrote something about The Cat Lady, because I can't get it to run for me and had to swap it off my list. EDIT: One of the first items you get in Little Inferno lets you set fire to image files on your PC, which led to some hilarious screencaps on my activity feed back when it came out.

I don't know why it's so hard to figure out - people are excited about Twin Peaks under the helm of Lynch which was the best combination for the series. People also expect him to be able to direct the production well because it's an estabilished universe and not a completely new thing he's coming up with and he has the original co-creator on board.

Plus, it's pretty obvious that those two were what made the series good as when they weren't completely in control in mid season 2 the show suffered. I still don't like the movie very much, though.

Ball's on your side of the field, corn in the bible. At one point during an Amazon sale a few years ago they had a bundle that contained all of the Nancy Drew games released at that time for like $10. I still regret not pulling the trigger on that one. I could have proudly displayed them in my games library and never played any of them.

Zombie Samurai posted:These weeklong deals are a god damned atrocity, and this is coming from someone who looks forward to them every Monday. Instead of following the games like Pinball FX2 does, where the main program is free, but basically useless, and all content is done via DLCs, the Influent developers made it so the first language is attached to the main program and you then have to buy the rest as DLCs. Pretty drat stupid, and I can't even defend it as multiplatform issue, as both Android and iOS has in-app purchases for this exact thing.

All I'm saying is, if they're going to do weeklongs at all then don't bother loading it up with a bunch of DLC and repeat listings.  It's time for another  BONUS ROUND since this dumbass game I'm playtesting makes you wait in realtime for things to happen. Captain Swing has shared a number of games with me that I never would have looked twice at otherwise, so let's talk about a few that I haven't played myself but know well enough.J. Vlad the Impaler    I'm basically stealing from my first post in this thread, but this is one of the better visual novel games I've encountered. You pick one of three classes and travel to Istanbul, where dark poo poo is afoot. The game is broken into 15 days (3 days per "chapter"), and on each day you choose a location in the city to visit. The game has been updated since launch so that you get to choose an event to play through in which you get a binary choice, A or B, and your decision affects your stats and the potential to get other events later on. You have 8 stats to keep track of, and at the end of the game there is an actual battle where your stats determine which of your options are most effective. Seems pretty good for a few playthroughs, and they're still adding stuff to it (it's not Early Access). The writing and art style are both quite good, and really evoke some gruesome, Lovecraftian tones. It's also come down in price since launch (and there's a 4-pack for reasons unknown), so I really see no reason not to give it a try if you like creepy vampire stories. K. Doorways: Chapters 1 & 2    This one was a little confounding, because we were expecting it to be complete garbage and it turned out to be... decent. I'm actually really torn on Doorways. It's a spooky walking sim with some interesting level design and actual enemies, though your adversaries are a mixed bag. It's clear the dev is no good at animation or AI, so they came up with some pretty clever, non-traditional ways to craft enemies. Some work, some don't, but it's a step up from Slender or whatever. The story starts weird and sticks with it faithfully, and the sequel makes it look like they're going to see it through. If you're into these sorts of games it's probably one of the better ones out there, but I can't recommend it in good conscience at full asking price. L. The House  Let this be a warning to everyone not to put random poo poo on your wishlist. The House is a badly translated walking sim in a supposedly spooky house. You'll never know if it really is spooky or not because the lighting engine is all hosed up. No light source reaches more than a few feet, including blazing fireplaces and oil lanterns. And even if you could see, you'd be treated to a litany of poorly-animated jump scares and paintings that turn into screamer images. The gameplay is utterly incomprehensible. Don't even get this one as a joke. Too Shy Guy fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Oct 29, 2014 |

At least she acknowledges that it wasn't a good idea, I suppose. It was a game over, since you get kicked out of the house you were hired to investigate, but like you said adventure game heroes do that poo poo all the time so I just assumed I was meant to smash the antique chandelier against the floor. Sadly, I was not.
