Ty 1 is generic but not horrible. Very stereotypically Australian in ways you wouldn't believe. I hope those fuckers fix the camera controls though because everything is inverted in the third-person view.

I have just begun playing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, and this game is amazingly loving dumb. This feels like a parody and it's basically tailor-made for me. You are Gabriel "Dracula" Belmont. It's the middle ages. The order of monster-hunters you once belonged to is trying to bust down Castlevania with a Jesus-powered golem. After you proceed to fill a wine goblet with the blood of random knights, you walk onto the balcony and begin scaling the drat thing in a rage, while some jerkoff in golden winged armor is firing flaming arrows at you the whole time. You make your way to the top and it's powered by a crystal full of pure God essence. Since you can't touch it or anything, you decide the best way to solve this problem is vomiting a torrent of blood onto it to unholy the thing. Finally, you take out the jackass with the wings and he pulls out a really nice cross and starts chanting in Latin. Gabriel goes "Yeah, no, I had your job once. Let me show you." Grabs the cross, begins mirroring the chant... and it turns out God likes Dracula more than the winged dick, blasting the entire castle with a Christ-laser and scorching the earth clean of everyone save Dracula. And Alucard, who was, this is revealed in a cutscene, buried in the walls of the castle for some loving reason. Castlevania 1 happens off screen, Simon Belmont punks Dracula. You then proceed to wake up over a millennium later in, and I am not making this up, Castlevania City, a motherfucking MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREA IN EUROPE BUILT ON THE RUBBLE OF GOD NUKING DRACULA'S CASTLE. Then Patrick Stewart, as Death, goes "Look, rear end in a top hat, we hate one another, but Satan is trying to come to earth, and if he arrives, we are both going to be his bitch-boys. Let's say we take care of that." I'm in love with this game already.

It's so weird because LOS1 was such an incredibly well regarded game after a series of terrible Castlevania games and despite purists slamming it for being a GoW clone it was loving gorgeous and deep in a way that they hadn't tried in over a decade. Then the sequel just goes batshit insane and squanders all the goodwill the first game built up.

Jesus Christ, Steam. You still have a huge sale going on for those Japanese games and you make it nearly impossible to even find the page through your storefront. There's a huge swathe of empty space to the bottom-left. Just put a banner there, tia.

Spider Rite of the Shrouded Moon is a really fun unique puzzler that you should play. You play as a spider and eventually a walrus spinning webs of various complexity in detailed 2d environments trying to catch a vast array of insects, butterflies and moths. Not all the insects can be caught in simple webs and require different strategies to catch them all such as catching them in mid air, crafting extra strong webs or a combination of both. The game has 30 levels which change based on the time of day, the weather at your location and the phase of the moon. Some insects and secrets can only be found at particular times and weather conditions. The game also a number of optional mysteries to solve as the game is set in a mansion built by a illuminati type secret society that is also currently occupied by a family who appear to have a mystery of their own. And as such there is a meta puzzle where you try to figure what has/is happening in the mansion. All of this story telling is done in the artwork of the environments and it's up to you to draw your own theories as to what is going on. It's made by some ex LookingGlass devs who previous game was Waking Mars so it has that whole stamp of approval to it as well.

Then the sequel just goes batshit insane and squanders all the goodwill the first game built up. LoS wasn't really incredibly well regarded. It was considered the best of the 3D Castlevania games but that is pretty faint praise considering. It sold well for a Castlevania game but "well for a Castlevania game" means it is competing primarily with shoestring-budget handheld releases.

Simon Belmont's adventures are chronicled in Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate. It also explains what happens to Trevor. Trevor dies and is resurrected as Alucard.

LoS2 is incredibly poorly written and designed. The beginning is basically dumb SotN fan service but also the only redeemable part of the game. The first game, while not especially good, at least knew what it wanted to be.

Steambot Chronicles would rule without the awful mid-level loading screens in the cities and with the ability to use Cheat Engine to keep from having to nurse a half a dozen different fuel and durability meters.

This really cool game called Hacknet came out that I recommend everyone who liked Uplink keep an eye on. I'd recommend against buying it right now though because it's way too easy to lose your save from a crash, or do things in a way that prevents flags from triggering, locking you out of progressing forever. Developer is working on it, though.

Well see, they took Castlevania and injected it with a bunch of slightly damaged GOW DNA and bam, they get a pretty good game out of the deal. So why not take a bunch of fermented MGS:Revengence DNA and stick it in there too? I mean MGSR was cool because it was wacky and over the top right? Castlevania 3 will take the topical humor of Borderlands and inject it into the mix.

They took all of the good parts of the combat from 1, which admittedly was just a lumpy puree of various GoW mechanics, and sucked out all the good parts. They also take home the indisputable trophy for Worst Stealth Mechanics In A Non-Stealth game by several AU. Finally, every puzzle in 2 is the level of insufferable that the music box stuff was in 1.

Unbalanced posted:Care to elaborate a bit? Darkseid's post makes me really want to get the game next time there's a decent sale and if the game is really bad I could use some dissuading. Once you get past the opening the game gets a lot more boring. They throw in genuinely bad stealth segments, repetitive boring combat, really lovely boss battles, you end up spending most of your time in a 'phantom castle' which is Castlevania so the future setting is underutilized, and there's only one more hilariously excessively over the top time. Which is admittedly Dracula loving surfing a rocket to cross a gap and so is amazing. Apparently the developers knew they had a lovely game but the head management (of their studio, not Konami) was kind of an rear end in a top hat and so it kinda went to hell. Edit: Also I don't know about the PC version of the PS3 version was glitchy as gently caress. Flags not triggering, and even a few hardlocks. Honestly, the game isn't even bad in an interesting way (beyond the hilariously bad stealth segments.) It's just boring and dumb. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Aug 16, 2015 |

So I want to actually beat or get decent at a citybuilding game. Tropico seems to fit my style and I already own Tropico 4, probably from a bundle or something. All the DLC is on sale for 10 bucks and I was going to get that, at least 1 of those DLC seems like I'd like it. Then I see that Tropico 5 is also just 10 bucks. Its 40 bucks for all their DLC so ill pass on that for now, but my question is: Would it be better to spend 10 bucks for all of Tropico 4 DLC or just get Tropico 5 with the little bonuses theyre giving out now. edit: NVM, looking around most folks think 5 isnt as good as 4. It has multiplayer, but Im not really seeing how thatd work anyway. Khanstant fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Aug 16, 2015 |
