I have two extra of I Thought This Game Was Cool, and one extra of There's Something in My Eye, Just 5 More Minutes, and Best Use of a Farm Animal. Only need Test of Time, but I can give the rest away if anyone needs 'em. http://steamcommunity.com/id/JustinBrett

Jordan7hm posted:e: posting a cart list to see if there are any games people have thoughts about Initial thoughts on some games ASDAD is fine for what it is, but what it is is a boring pacman 2 player game with no monsters. I would have refunded it if it wasn't all of a buck. The Last Error is a distillation of the platformer genre. It has 7 different "styles" of platformer and each style has a set of levels to get through. I gave up once the levels got too hard for me. My favorite was the foot, which has an infinitely tall hit box and can only move during the step action (a jump, basically). I think this is probably worth your money and 30 minutes, particularly if you're good at platformers. Immortal Defense was really good and fun. It's an interesting take on the TD genre with more story and more moment to moment player engagement besides just clicking "next wave". e: The Big Elk is a weird shooter that isn't very fun because it's not clear what you need to shoot and you're constantly short on ammo. There's a backpack to get more ammo but you need to wait during a cooldown and it sucks. Also the tutorial is one of the Jordan7hm fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Dec 30, 2016 |

It runs 12FPS maximum and they will tell you to go gently caress yourself for complaining.

Yeah I couldn't bother beating Axiom Verge, saying its "bland" is a good way of putting it. The way you switch weapons was also very un-intuitive and some of the areas were very frustrating to navigate.

Hey dudes, i just finished it and feel like i must give you a strong recommendation for ABZU. It's a beautiful, unique game and an amazingly beautiful experience. It takes you in a whole different world and it made me, for example, thinking of how small we are  Really, get it!

Axiom Verge has cool ideas and wows you for about the first half of the game, until the cutscene. After that, the design flaws become really apparent. It's all the more disappointing after a really strong start.

Well, definitely don't get MGR unless you're already versed in action games, and even then maybe not. It has the standard "difficult action game" of having a first boss fight hard enough to get people to quit! Game's fantastic though. You start the game by fighting a Metal Gear.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:The first boss fight is not that hard? I'm talking about the blade wolf. I guess, given my edit above, the metal gear might be the first boss. But blade wolf is definitely the first thing in the game that's supposed to make you think about what you're doing. For what it's worth, I agree with you. But google for "Metal Gear Rising Blade Wolf Quit" for a fair number of these anecdotes.

The trick with MGR is learning the parry ability and Blade Wolf's basically there to make sure you figure it out.

Mokinokaro posted:Yeah add Ghost 1.0 to that list too. Unepic was so terrible but the devs actually made something great for their second game. Ghost 1.0 is pretty difficult I found. And the turrets being able to get repaired kill you again just irked me for some reason. And to contribute to the Axion Verge discussion: The game was great for the first half. Then I realized I never got one item that hosed me over to advancing the story. I had to finally read a FAQ to find out the why I couldn't reach a new area. Oh and way before that was the grappling hook. gently caress that add on. Talk about useless. Turd Herder fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Dec 31, 2016 |

melon cat posted:Is it really that good? I need an open world fix and something that's easy to just pick up and play. I can't really commit to games that have too steep of a learning curve because I'm getting old and sucky at games. There is nothing wrong with getting old and sucky at games.  Also yes, Tales from the Borderlands is really that good. Its the only TT game Id ever actually recommend. They make perfect use of the Borderlands set pieces and strike a really good balance of serious and comedy. Plus the voice acting they got really did an excellent job.

I really liked it a lot. Anyone have any recommendations for puzzle games similar in nature to The Room and The Room Two? I love the style of those games. I don't want to have to walk anywhere or find random doohickey in x Room to bring back to y Room. I love the gameplay of the Room series and I'm having trouble finding anything like them.

Maybe it's just another "NOBODY BUT ME CAN PLAY VIDEO GAMES" bit but I felt the tutorial explained it easy and then it was.  I could totally see people who don't get the parrying having a hard time though.

Yeah it was pretty much my first game in the genre and I picked it up pretty quick and beat it on hard with only a couple of roadblocks (and they were mainly from keyboard + mouse messing up some of the precision cuts than the game's fault)

If you've never played Revengeance, check out chip's "how to play" video, it's really good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7IlIUKP64o Revengeance actually has a dodge move that a lot of people miss because you actually have to buy the god drat thing (It's called Defensive Offence). It's on the 0:40 mark in the video.

I'm sure the takeaway from this is just "spectacle fighters are not for me," but lord I found Revengeance to be a massive disappointment. Dodge, block, go in for hits, here's some quicktime events that hold all the cool stuff you wish you could be doing, go back to dodge, block, strike.

Divinity's probably got more of a sense of humor, but the plot/writing in general is still overwhelmingly generic and uninteresting. The combat's great and it's still a fantastic co-op game, though.
