if you have a turbo button controller set it to shield and run in a circle around enemies. there is a glitch that just melts their health off.

you can do in manually but its tiring

i am actually excited to get a free whack at lords of the fallen because i never would have spent money on it but i want to see if it is as bad as it looks.

of course it wont take long for me to think "hey i could be playing bloodborne right now" so i doubt i will get a whole playthrough in

Badland is actually pretty cool. I picked it up when it was a contemporary iOS game and couldn't stop playing it. I usually hate iOS games too.

I got the mega gay ending in Metal Gear Solid, where you and Otacon pour your hearts out and bond, and finally ride off into the sunset on a snowmobile with Otacon riding bitch

pretty drat funny now that I think of it, but it certainly counted as the worst ending

Can it be played like a standard action RPG or do I have to be super cautious and time my avoidance perfectly? I just want to play the game to hit things and collect some loot

Lords of the Fallen is like Bound By Flame or Kingdoms of Amalur; it's a blatant rip-off of someone else's game, but it's ultimately still pretty playable and enjoyable (for free).

It takes more careful timing than a standard action RPG, but less than a Souls game. Some of the bosses are still pretty tough until you figure out what spells and weapons let you cheese your way through.

You could do a lot worse than amalur, you could be playing a bethesda game instead.

I enjoyed it as well although it was way too much game and they used the system of locking enemy levels when you first entered a zone so you'd outlevel everything very easily and you could also trivialize things just by being curious and peeking into a zone.

I was tired of it by the final island but had a good time leading up to it.

Holy crap I want so much from this indie sale. Finally getting Gungeon, Republique, Invisible Inc, Risk of Rain, Electronic Super Joy. Also finding out Oddworld Stranger's Wrath isn't compatible with PSTV so picking that up for PS3. There's a bunch more I'm somewhat interested in but I went ahead and stopped. drat.

I always forget: is there a point when redeeming a PS+ card on the website where you can back out after you've entered a code, when you can check that it's valid? Or is it enter the code, and it's instantly redeemed?

Easier? How far did you play it, because the game gets fking bullshit with how slow your guy attacks compared to the enemies. I've never hated a game so much in my life and I've beaten all the dark souls.

I'm not surprised considering you were the only other goon I ever saw playing Battlefront and they are the same game (I love it too).

I do find most shootmans very similar for the most part, and I'm never actually good at them so I'm all about the set dressing. Throw in some AT-ATs or biplanes and I'm suddenly able to enjoy myself for hours just "being there" while I drag my team down to second place.

Being the nose gunner in a WW1 bomber strafing ground targets is my new favourite thing in videogames. So good.

Yeah the vehicles are my fav part of both games, and the reason BF has always been my FPS over CoD etc. And the vehicles in BF1 are way better than Battlefront.

Although the one time I got a plane I crashed it into the ground because apparently inverted plane controls is the opposite of inverted shooting controls.

Takes ages to get plane controls setup, then learn how to actually use them. Which is why I like the gunner seats more. Plus being a beta, lag is often the real enemy. Got into a bomber, had two people jump into the gun seats, and I just flew helplessly into a mountain killing us all as the controls wouldn't respond. All I could do was hit the "sorry" message in chat a second before impact.

I could have used the "get out" message but I was already crying with anticipatory laughter so that wasn't happening.

I actually bought Risk of Rain full price a couple months ago during an especially bored weekend and loving loved it enough to unlock every class (which means beating it 4-5 times to get the final class, the mercenary). I think I put in like 30+ hours over the course of a week before I burned myself out on it. I can't even say it's amazing gameplay or anything (although when you nail the right combination of items to become infinite walking death it's pretty great), I think it's just something about the combination of the music, the little pixellated spacemen you can play as and the neat little touches like the item descriptions and monster log that made the game extremely my poo poo.

I just wish it was longer and had more enemies/levels :shrug:

EDIT: Actually, along those lines, is Enter the Gungeon worth $9? It seems like it could be good but it also could veer hard into monkey-cheese territory.

I liked Gungeon quite a bit. It was my first experience with its style of game (whatever it is - permadeath roguelike?) although the two things that got me in the end were the insane skill ceiling to truly beat it, and the RNG blessing that may be required to do so. Either way, if you've ever been a fan of shmups or beat-em-ups, you'll probably like it.
