Lizard Wizard posted:I've got $14.99 burning a hole in my Steam wallet since returning Mad Games Tycoon, any recommendations for a feel-good game? Euro Truck 2 is on sale, Majesty Gold is on sale, Rymdresa is on sale... Euro Truck 2 is a fantastically chill trucking game that's surprisingly addictive, and you should check it out! Majesty Gold is a classic goofy game where you hire heroes to defend your kingdom and I can't describe it, please play it. It's better than the second game and really, really worth your time. Rymdresa is...weird. You fly around dodging asteroids and looking for poetry. It's fantastically ambient and lonely and hard, and it's not..feel-good, but I wanted to mention it because it's the only game I've ever seen that rewards you with poetry. I wish more games did, honestly.

CrashCat posted:It's actually kind of poo poo but I like it anyway I enjoyed Roundabout as a shameless clone of Kuru Kuru Kururin with a wacky FMV aesthetic but 100ft Robot Golf gives me pause because the idea of making golf even more slow by turning all the players into giant robots sounds like the kind of thing that should have never made it past the planning stages.

Still if you're looking for correctness or balance or anything resembling sanity this is probably the wrong game ... and the planning stage was an in-joke from a Let's Play

Good luck figuring out what you want! I'd say Stardew Valley, but you can't buy the Humble Monthly bundle with steamdollars.

So I could've sworn I heard a smartphone Lost Vikings game was coming out but googling it, that was apparently wishful thinking. I'd love to play as those dudes again with the conveniences of modern game design. Check out this sweet box art I found of the JP version of the original game, tho.

My WiiU screen broke last night. Little dent in it is causing the touch screen to freak out. So instead of Paper Mario I played Stardew Valley. I hate fishing and still managed to spend two hours focusing solely on it.

Commercial Breaks, about Imagine and Ocean, 30 minutes long. it's like a time capsule, highly recommended https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt9BsZCifgU Charlie Brooker's special. Filled with stuff you probably know but it's fun and funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32wN4IIDW1o King of Chinatown, about Justin Wong and the fighting game community. It's really about his manager whose last name is Triforce and walks around with a power glove. Not really that good of a doc and the music is real bad, but the footage is really fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OauRL3La9jc

Documentaries about games, video or otherwise are surprisingly few. You would expect a way higher number of them. And the offerings you do get are not typically that great. Word Wars is really boring. They are making a documentary out of the fantastic Console Wars book about Tom Kalinske. I look forward to that and hope it's good.

Better watch GDC talks instead. Lately I watched Romero's The Early Days of id Software talk and it's great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2MIpi8pIvY "We made 28 games in 5.5 years..."

Golden Goat posted:That reminds me of Video Games: The Movie. Yeah, the reason why most video game books and movies are bad is they focus players experiences with games. Which makes sense, due to the nature of games. While how systems affect players can be interesting, most people aren't going to provide a good account as to why it does. I find the opposite relationship, how the developers affect their systems, more fascinating but it's barely ever the focus.

As a filthy casual, if I buy an Xbox One S I'm generally going to enjoy it, yeah? I've not owned a current gen console (excluding my old Wii U) and I have a big OLED screen so the UHD part really sells it over the PS4 Pro. Plus I have more friends on Xbox Live and I've always preferred Xbox controllers. Without doing a side by side comparison, I'm not going to care about PS4P performance being better... I hope?

The patching system is infinitely worse and the Bone doesn't have any good exclusives while PS4 has Bloodborne but otherwise the libraries are 90% indentical. I've no idea how bad the performance differences are to someone who doesn't post in the sharktank thread are though. Also the S is just the normal Bone but smaller and a UHD player, it doesn't have improved performance like the Pro will.

That all actually sounds fine to me. Added HDR should be pretty enough and there's nothing I'm that bothered about exclusives wise on the Sony platform to be honest. I'm really keen on Forza Horizon 3 as long as it's not so much like normal Forza where I just crash into the walls straightaway. If it plays close enough to Most Wanted or Paradise I'll be thrilled. Just sucks there's no bundle for it.

You want to check out this dudes youtube channel: The Gaming Historian A couple of highlights are Nintendo vs Video Game Rentals, The Creation of the ESRB, and The Power Glove. The History of Mario 2 is also really good since it covers a bunch of ground most people skip over. BexGu fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Oct 11, 2016 |

Gears of W4R is the only game I'm sad I can't play on ps4, but I would never get a bone just to play it. I got a ps4 for Bloodborne and it was worth it.
