I like how with Overwatch they just put rear end in the game and let's the community do the rest with no acknowledgement from blizzard, while pitchford has to backhandedly beg for Battleporn

I'm still convinced every female character in overwatch and some of the dudes were designed specifically to maximize tumblr porn potential as a form of viral marketing.

Pretty much every video game character was designed with that in mind, from Lara Croft to Kirby

i heard massive chalice was one of the better games, and hack & slash is the one nobody likes

massive chalice was ok to quite good. it's turn based strategy but much more on the 'puzzley' side than the 'tactical' side, so how you feel about that probably determines a lot of how you rate the game. I think the big negative is the game doesn't have a lot of whole-game variation or staying power.


hack & slash had a neat concept and the first bit looked good when they put it on early access, but the rest didn't hold up at all. I think the problem was very much that they tried to serve both the traditional game and the my-first-programming exercise equally, and it's real hard to pull that off over a full game. Supposedly a lot of the later-game puzzles got really obtuse because they weren't about logic or programming, just fiddling with the numbers to find the right combo or whatever. IMO they should have made their zelda-clone and had the hacking more as the way to totally gently caress with the game. Leave more room for creative solutions. It's a difficult thing to do though.

In celebration of myself giving up on Skyrim, I bought Resident Evil Revelations 2. Hopefully it'll be even better than the first one, since it's not a port of a 3DS game.

I like the atmosphere of the first better, and the asymmetrical co-op gets a little too asymmetrical sometimes, but it's a good and fun game, and raid mode is much improved

Dawn of War III is also coming out on the 25th. But after seeing that it is heavily inspired by MOBAs my expectations aren't that high

Persona 5 is a popular jrpg about heists and high school. Post a stream of it, get sued by Atlus. (maybe)

Yooka-Laylee is Banjo Kazooie but modernized and made on a kickstarted budget by indie devs.

Dragon Quest Heroes II - it's... ... I don't actually know what this is.

Puyo Puyo Tetris is a casual game that you are not allowed to stream, I think. Something about SEGA being afraid of spoiling their tetris game.

Syberia 3 - adventure game!

Little Nightmares - "puzzle-platformer horror adventure game"

It's not the first time I've heard about it. IIRC motion sickness concerns were the reason Hideo Kojima put off adopting a proper 3D camera until MGS3 Subsistance, because he couldn't even play Counterstrike without feeling unwell.

Did the Japanese release of Persona 5 have the streaming ban too/was there a backlash
Yes. The Japanese version of Puyo Puyo Tetris also had similar restrictions put on it that thankfully weren't bought over to the English version.

I think this was because the Tetris Company is really super strict with their licensing. How about DQH2? The first one even blocked Shareplay in 99% of the game, which was kinda nuts.

Go to ebay and look up Wei Jiang, and Takasa Tony. WJ makes oversized KO's that are as good if not improvements on the originals(get MPP10, seriously), and Takasa Tony makes KO's of the smaller car masterpieces that are essentially identical to the originals in build quality for 25 bucks shipped.

I've got a ton of them as well as legit ones, they're great for fleshing out a collection on a budget.
