In non-anime news, BundleStars is running a couple promos and this caught my eye: Space Rangers HD for $3.75, which appears to be its lowest ever price. A fair number of goons seem to enjoy it.

in non-circlejerk territory, to be more specific, Indie Royale somehow accidentally put together an adequate (not good, ADEQUATE) bundle for $1.99 that includes Tiny & Big, The Last Door, Words for Evil and Metal Dead: http://www.indieroyale.com/?royale=204

With I guess what looks like some sort of planet-based RTS portion?

But don't worry, I'm sure with the new influx of anime crap they'll be back to making the worst bundles in the world in no time.

From the RPGCodex review: quote:let's combine Elite-like trading and exploration, turn-based space battles, arcade space battles, some pirate stuff, dynamic universe, text adventures, saving the universe from some impeding doom stuff, liberating planets RTS style, some Mechwarrior stuff, and all kind of crazy little things, like getting a plastic surgery at a Pirate Base, when you become too popular and not in a good way. e: and the steam link is here http://store.steampowered.com/app/214730/

Speaking of Indie Royale, is QP Shooting good enough to justify getting this bundle (http://www.indieroyale.com/?royale=202) just for it? I have a lot of shooter games in my library already.

On the other hand, it's actually a fairly "legitimate" handling of time travel, up to and including correct handling of paradoxes, etc.

I have a lot of shooter games in my library already. I liked it. It's a pretty good and difficult bullet-hell. Nothing too stand out about it but it does have some nice things like being able to choose your attack formations.

I can't speak for the quality of the game itself, but the bundle is about half the price of what the game by itself went for in the recent Steam anime sale.

QP Shooting is a very good and cute game and it's not a bad bullet hell game either. I'd say it's worth 4 bucks. I have never had it crash on me and the pudding chat goes on for like 2 minutes before each boss. If you don't like pudding, avoid. If you're a human being, buy it. edit: vvv Also buy Ziggurat like this dude says. It is also a good game. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Jan 22, 2015 |

I picked up Zygurat on recomendation from this thread and I just had to come by and say thanks. Game is extremely my poo poo, plays like a procedural Wizard's Serious Sam with so many unlocks. It is awesome and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes throwing napalm grenades at carrots or stuff like that.

There are so many goddamn unlocks. On my first playthrough I unlocked 2 new classes, 10 new upgrade perks, 4 new weapons, and I only made it to the third floor. I don't even know how long the game is but drat I unlocked a lot of stuff. To give an example of how cool this game is: The first gun I picked up was a blunderbuss that shoots flaming magma cannonballs. The second wand I picked up consumes enemies' souls and leaves them stunned while giving you more mana energy. edit: i cant do math, math has been fixed CJacobs fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Jan 22, 2015 |

Is it basically just strafe backwards while shooting everything constantly?

That is most of the gameplay, yes. The Serious Sam comparison was not unfounded, most of my time playing so far was spent juking enemy projectiles. There's pretty good enemy variety though, no two enemy types behave the same way, and there are bonus modifiers to rooms (big enemies, everything does x4 damage including you, enemies explode into giblets) and rare modifiers put on enemies that give them more health or faster attack or whatever. edit: I should note though that it's not entirely like Serious Sam in that you're expected to just eat bullets to the face all the time 24/7. This game does not work in that way. Enemy projectiles are telegraphed or visible or otherwise in a pattern that you can recognize and avoid if you're paying attention, which is good because the only way to refill your health is to collect health vials from killed enemies (besides some of the upgrade perks).

Jamfrost posted:How many unlocks are you talking? There are about ~151 perk/weapon unlocks, plus 11 unlockable characters, from a quick look at the skulls. There is a lot of variety in how you have to play. I am spoiling it because figuring out enemy patterns is part of the gameplay, but you get Yoshis that poison surfaces, crossbow kobolds that will lead their shots if you get predictable, flying crocodiles with homing bolts of lightning, flying ramming skulls that I loving hate, kamikaze golems, giant skeletons with hugeass shields and shockwave attacks you have to jump over and and other stuff. It can get pretty hectic, specially when enemy types get mixed up and you will usually be switching weapons according to the situation. Game's friggin' boss.

Space Rangers pre-HD was janky, but not in a bad or unplayable way janky. I played the poo poo out of SR2 a few years ago when it wasn't newly revamped so four bucks for is a great price, it should only be better.

Imagined posted:Here's something I will never understand. Some games, like Train Simulator, gives customers a free and forced upgrade whenever they release a new version. A lot of people who played Train Simulator 2014 or whatever absolutely hated 2015 so that game has people with tons of hours played write bad reviews.

I might be confusing it with another "simulator" game, but there was definitely one of them where this was the case.   Anyway, I think there are probably more games like this. a7m2 fucked around with this message at 14:15 on Jan 22, 2015 |

I think the majority of game play times like that are due to glitches/bugs, I'm fairly sure there's a way to modify your playtime manually as well. That being said, I could certainly see how someone could invest 1000 of hours into a game and not recommend it. Kinda of like "hey this game destroyed my life plz don't let it do the same to you" -man who really likes trains

I've played 300+ hours of STALKER: Clear Sky and I wouldn't recommend it because I know most people wouldn't like it (or many things I do). I wouldn't go out of my way to write a negative/thumbs-down review, but I know objectively that it turns a lot of people off.

Man, why didn't anyone tell me that Toybox Turbos was a thing?! I loved the poo poo out of pretty much all incarnations of Micro Machines games back in the day (especially the N64 version, it was perfect), and I love that this is the spiritual sequel. I can see myself someday playing this with my son, and it makes me happy. And there's a demo! Man, downloading the demo so hard when I get home tonight. Oh, that reminds me, I assume this has local multiplayer; when you play local multiplayer on Steam, only one person can be signed in, right? The other people would just be known as 'Player 2/3/4/etc'? Is there any way to sign in to a Steam profile even for the purposes of being an additional local player, like you can do on the 360, PS3, and I assume the Xbone/PS4?

Something to look forward to in the future - Devolver have just signed Ronin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLmbeogBfqU I played a prototype build of this a while back. It looks kinda like Gunpoint, has goals and gear similar to Mark of The Ninja, but what really sets it apart is the turn-based combat. One hit is death, and you basically plan out one action at a time, with lines showing you which enemies will be shooting where, during that turn. Coolest thing I did in the prototype was leap off a ledge above a guard, throw my sword down through his body fast enough to have it bounce off the floor, grapple-swung from the ceiling and caught the flying, rebounding blade all without touching the ground.
