So, I finally checked out this undertale game that everyone was talking about. I watched Dunkey play it, also I just learned he is not black :psyboom:.

drat, the music for this game is hella good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRw26sEEywY

Game looks hilarious, but looks to be really short. Might just buy the soundtrack and watch a let's play of the game instead to get the story.

you should play the game, because it's fun and part of the fun is discovering the cool things in it yourself

Undertale is one of a very small number of games I'd like to forget I ever played so I could experience it for the first time again

I know that's a really weird fanboy thing to say especially given my current title but it's true :shobon:

Listen this poo poo was hosed. So I get through all the puzzles, collect all my gear and heal up everyone to Fine. I send Rebecca out to the dangerous route to go get the last tablet and she does it and I do the puzzle and I unlock the door. Only one problem: left Rebecca's handgun in the main hall. I debate whether I need it, decide it's better to have it as a backup in case I run out of grenades, and go on back, not realizing that the door I'd come in from now exits out to a new place

a new place with loving murder apes who just wreck Rebecca, stunlocking her all the way into Danger. I used the last of my grenades to kill them, got the pistol, and limp her back to this area, and now she's bleeding out on a pressure switch while Billy gets thrown around like a goddamn rag doll by the goddamn bat

Resident Evil Zero is

Unless it's the thread for a game that isn't actually out yet, then it's nothing but gushing praise and anticipation and clinging to every piece of promotional material while chasing out any naysayers.

The designers didn't understand their own mechanics. It's supposed to be about stealth, attacking through your hacking abilities, etc.

There's a side mission early on where you have to stop a car and knock someone out non-lethally. The car is in the middle of a big open suburban area with nothing to hack and no hiding places, and your target is surrounded by something like 6 guys with assault rifles.

Basically the game never let you actually use the tools it was supposed to be built around.

This is something a lot of stealth games seem to fall victim to in their first installment; Thief had bits where you had to hack at spiders with your short sword, Hitman had the jungle levels, Assassin's Creed was mostly about chasing people down to stab them and then outrunning their guards, etc.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

So I tried out the 'beta' for the new Hitman



Does anyone know if this is a common problem and how to fix it?

i remember being kinda hype about watch underscore dogs after e3 2012 because that demo made it seem kinda cool, and because literally every other game shown at that keynote was a sequel or remake

too bad the final game wasn't like that demo
