WickedHate posted:Why did roguelike games blow up all of a sudden anyway? Was it Nuclear Throne and FTL? Spelunky, BoI, and maybe FTL. Nuclear Throne is definitely a Johnny come lately to the action RL genre. Classic Spelunky was the first time an action based roguelike was legitimately good, and I think it got a lot of traction with indie devs. BoI blowing up, and how well it combines with YouTube and streaming, was probably the bigger factor though.

Nah Life is Strange ended fine, at least to me (I wouldn't say it was stellar but not the worst thing), and I think most people were fine/neutral or had some minor dislike of it at worst. He might be thinking of Wolf Among Us which did end kind of shittily

I played 2 episodes of Borderlands a while back and can confirm that it is [GOOD]. It is humorous and storyfromdifferentPOVs-tastic; I really should get back round to finishing that soon before it leaves my memory completely and I never touch it again because of the "can't remember it, don't wanna replay it though" effect. (does that have a name?)

Dohaeris posted:Anyone played The Culling? Any impressions? Seems like the good parts of open world PvP survival games condensed into 20 minutes, Battle Royale/Hunger Games style. It's surprisingly compelling. It's still early for sure, and melee combat is wonkier feel wise than I would like, but even not being a fan of these survival genre games I find myself hopping in queue repeatedly. I think the real meat of the game is in the paired team play mode as opposed to solo play.

Ep5 of BorderTales also has the best loving musical opening as well. Hell all the songs they chose for each ep are pretty fantastic.

I've been eyeballing Arkham Knight for a while now; has it actually become playable after the patch, or is it pretty much a crapshoot whether it'll work on my configuration or not? I know I can refund games on steam if it turns out it runs like shite, but it's like half price over at Nuuvem and I'm poor. Why don't games have demos anymore

If you see a fellow poster exhibit warning signs of intense mood swings, scouring YouTube for awful fancut videos of how the game should have ended, and typing 12 paragraph treatises about the nature of art that absolutely nobody will read, please refer them to the available helplines immediately.

Ya know if you goons are looking for a good story in a game at a reasonable price and length, then you should totally check out Oxenfree: http://store.steampowered.com/app/388880/?snr=1_7_15__13. It's like someone took the teens from Life is Strange, wrote them like teens, and then put a good, spooky story around it. Also Deadbolt is pretty great but it makes me realize that they're never going to fix the coop problems with Risk of Rain.
