CharlieFoxtrot posted:Add me to the list of the people that can't get past Isaac's aesthetic. I even respect it as the legitimate artistic statement that it is, like Piss Christ, but I'm not being asked to spend hours pressed up against Piss Christ Yeah I don't go in for roguelikes that much to begin with, but I'd definitely have played more than 3 hours of Isaac if it wasn't just dank caves filled with pee pee and doo doo the entire way through.

Olive Garden tonight! posted:If people were allowed to talk about 'what is an rpg', I get to say that Isaac isn't a roguelike It's got enough roguelike elements to make me not enjoy it as much as if it was a proper game. Almost everyone I know who plays Isaac a ton says that the thing they enjoy the most about it is the slot machine aspect of it.

For as popular as Isaac is, I'm surprised none of the other roguelikes made since then copied my favorite part of Isaac: absurd items that completely change the way you play. Gungeon is maybe the closest to that, but even still you mostly move/roll/shoot the same no matter what you get. Isaac isn't afraid of giving you weird-rear end poo poo that in certain combinations can let you completely break the game over your knee with bullets 50 times larger than your monitor can display. I like how it changes your appearance with every item, too.

Yeah, that's why I love Isaac. It's a roguelike/roguelite that's focused more on having a ton of variability between individual runs rather than gradually improving via unlockables or building up your town between runs. Not that it doesn't also have tons of unlockables to encourage playing and replaying in different ways, but aside from the donation box there's very little actual grinding.

In AC Syndicate you can play a lady whose base of operations is a train, and who hangs out with Karl Marx and spends her free time crippling people in underground pit fighting competitions. If I had known what this game was like I would have played it earlier

Yeah that actually sounds awesome. I knew nothing about syndicate except that it wasn't bad like unity. I haven't been interested in asscreed since revelations. I may check out syndicate in the eventual future where I can pick it up for cheap.

AC syndicate is cool, ziplining around london, getting into horse and cart chases, caning people to death, hanging out with everyone famous in history etc etc Also playing frogger across the boats going along the river thames

Any opinions on The Surge? People are saying it's another It's Like Dark Souls game but I want to hear deeper opinions than that before my 1,500 hours in the Souls games pushes me to buy it any further

glam rock hamhock posted:Kickstarted games also include FTL, Hyper Light Drifter, Kentucky Route Zero, Shantae, Superhot, the new Torment, Shadowrun, Lisa, Pillars of Eternity, Darkest Dungeons, Sportsfriends, Freedom Planet, Risk of Rain, The Fall, Octodad, Some of the best pinball tables ever for Pinball Arcade, Valdis Story, Volgarr The Viking, Divinity, Divekick, Hollow Knight and probably others. I stand corrected. I had no idea some of those games were kickstarters. I was wrong. Don't like all of them but FTL is fun as gently caress.

If I had known what this game was like I would have played it earlier Reading your praise is making me consider giving Syndicate a proper shot, I own an untouched copy and never really played an rear end Creed game before. Could be the perfect popcorn game to come back down to earth after the recent run of stupidly good videogames.

precision posted:enter the gungeon is so cute and fun. it's like the binding of isaac, only good precision posted:i do not like the aesthetics of binding of isaac. it's me, i'm the guy who cares about things other than gameplay enter the gungeon has very crisp, lively visuals and gameplay that falls apart after like five hours and is terribly balanced, with lots of guns being outright useless and enemies often wind up being bullet sponges unless you find one of a handful of guns that just obliterate everything apparently isaac's aesthetic is originally based on the really hosed up jesus-crazy upbringing edmund mcmillen had to live through.

Man I was really disappointed in gungeon, 30 minutes of that game had less of a power spike than 30 seconds of some issac runs.

I finished the first half of the season in Diablo3 last night and it made me exceptionally glad. I think I may try to wean myself onto another game now that I've reached one of my goals. However, it's just so much fun and feels so good! I am having the same problem that has faced all gamers: Too much game, too little time.

Palpek posted:Do you have the expansion? It's really worth getting. Also there will be a new/old class introduced this year - the necromancer. I do! I'm on PS4 so it's included as standard. I will definitely be getting any more expansions I can! I never played Diablo 1 or 2 so I'm not sure what to expect at all from it

I wish I could get into D3 like I was into D2 but it's just not the same. Even when they finally include Necromancer, Sir Ian McKillin won't ride again.

Sefal posted:I stand corrected. I do think we have reached a point where your Kickstarter is likely to be more successful if it doesn't have a "Joe Video Game: Inventor of the VIdeo Game" factor involved. Like eventually gamers learned that maybe these former high ranking guys who either left or were "Let go" from their companies, that it happened for a good reason. Whether it was ego, going over budget while missing deadlines, or some other various factors.
