GUI posted:I tried Satellite Reign for 30 minutes and it's pretty lame, how can the supposed spiritual sequel to Syndicate 1993 have worse death animations and sound design? Guns in that game sounded like death machines and enemies would drop dead in a pool of their own blood. Guns in Satellite Reign sound like pop guns and enemies kind of lifelessly rag doll to the ground, and that's ignoring how they're all bullet sponges. My girlfriend started a sort of book club for gamers thing a year or two back and that was one of the games we did. We forced ourselves to play as much of it as possible. I want to love that game, but... it was unendurable.

Red Bones posted:That game is really fun! I like how you can take enemies off of the random encounter table permanently by finding and beating their stand users, it's a really cool way to fit the mechanics with the setting. I really enjoyed how the game has this (ending spoiler for the game and for various jojo parts) whole metaplot thing going on for how the game's entire plot is the result of the universe trying to make sense of two different extremely powerful stand abilities that are affecting one another in an unintended way, resulting in the universe of 7th Stand User happening where the universe has become like a computer that is desperately trying to reboot and correct and salvage everything in existence in a way that makes sense and doesn't cause reality to break even further. I was really vague there because I didn't want to spoil it too in-depth, but if you read that and want to know explicit spoilers including spoilers for part 6 then the stand that is causing time to speed up, to the point that the universe will "reset" after time has reached a point in reality where a statistical copy of the universe with the same history will occupy the very same space as the current one does when time first started to speed up, is interfering with another stand that allows the user to freeze the universe in place, remove themselves from it temporarily, and view all of life as if it were a film strip, being able to not only view exactly what is happening in the present and what happened in the past, but also being able to view the keyframe of the future, said keyframe becoming set in stone and being unavoidable. The result of these two mixing is that when the film strip freeze happens, it happens at a time when the universe has sped up so much that all of time has become one. The film strip no longer represents a linear time but rather a zoetrope of repeating frames that has gone so fast that it is like you are staring at one blurred frame representing all of history. Because whatever is viewed becomes a universal truth, it "overrides" the increasing time speed and reality ends up attempting to compress all of this time into one area, centralized around a 1980s trip from Japan to Egypt following the adventures of a varied cast of stand users known as the Stardust Crusaders. However, because all of reality has blurred into one picture, this means that the person who removed themself from history to view the blurred photo of all of time compressed into one frame is, themself, also pictured in the frame. This cannot possibly be as this stand power dictates what happens in the universe. Them appearing there means that they aren't properly excised from the universe proper, but then that raise the question of who is the one who gets to view this frame. The answer is you, the player. You are the one playing the game, you have become the 7th Stand User, the universe has created you to fill in a gap for the sole purpose of fixing this poo poo. You go into it being able to make choices that will drastically affect the outcomes of things while having already known what will and won't happen. You are like an antibody that has been generated in an attempt to fight off this paradoxical disease that the universe is now experiencing. You, the player, are the 7th Stand User, and it is you who got to view the world through this singular animated blurred frame of reality caught in this seemingly neverending Part 3. You need to fix it. The story is properly Jojo as gently caress and I'm glad for it. The dev did a really good job of taking that feeling of something seemingly innocuous in theory (or at the very least, something seemingly standard) and twisting it to its logical extremes.

StoryTime posted:Yes, Stellaris allows for the utopia/federation building end of the sci-fi spectrum as well. Then again, you might end up next to the terminator machine race whose only objective is to scour the galaxy of organics. It's possible to meet factions in that game where diplomacy is literally not an option, you just can't access those screens with them. Yes, but on the other hand, conquering another race and then gerrymandering those little bastards is forever satisfying.

drat Hollow Knight is a blast when you have all your movement abilities. This is the first game I've played since KH2 where acquiring your movement options straight up makes it a much better game.

homeless snail posted:lmao, the brick pod in heat signature is really good, ramming it into the side of a ship destroys a room and leaves a gaping hole that you can spacewalk into. most mission types you can skip 90% of the level by just strategically opening up the room next to the target, jumping in immediately grabbing/shooting the thing and jumping back into your pod and flying away Goddamn I totally ignored this game popping up on my feed because it looks ugly but that amazing trailer sells it as Hotline Miami + relatively hard sci-fi boarding action. And I'm sold.

It's more of a Syndicate Wars thing but the game gives a bad first impression with its terrible tutorial. Once you get out of there and ditch your starting weapons you get poo poo plasma throwers, rocket launchers, mini-guns, and thermo-nuclear grenades that leave massive craters behind. This is in addition to your stealth ninja snipers, drone controllers, and having an army of a dozen mindjacked goons acting as bullet sponges.

Playing the first Gunvolt and it seems a bit easy on Normal but Hard mode looks like too much of a pain in the rear end and I'm kind of glad of it since the tagging system makes me constantly feel like I'm playing the game backwards. There's gotta be a better way of getting their story across though other than covering a third of the screen in dialogue boxes while you're trying to play, including during boss fights where they cover most of the attacks. You can turn them off at least but drat.

One other thing about the Oddworld presentation at EGX I wanted to bring up, was that I was trying to remember when exactly Lorne had brought up something like this before. Like I was trying to remember which interview it was where he was bringing up secret orders and then I found it:quote:Nathan: (from Leonardo Munzlinger) In Stranger, how do the Gloktigi disappear and reappear; is it technology or mystical?

I don't know the name of the game but there was a screen with horses to choose from for breeding and there was some farm(?) management screen and then actually controlling the horse in 3D riding it with other people. I didn't look too closely so some of those observations might be wrong/come from other games launched when I wasn't looking.

my new OP heat signature strat: find the structural weakpoints in the ship and plant breaching charges on them, and now your target is just hurling hopelessly through space while you leisurely work your way through the debris you can do the same thing by hijacking another ship and shooting missiles at the target, but its a lot less precise this game is real good lmao

I played a bunch of it on release and thought it was pretty good. It was the right level of detail that I didn't feel too lost. Maybe I've just put too many hours into Paradox games over the years and I don't have room for them anymore. I have bought almost every EU4 DLC because of sales but I haven't played a campaign of it since 2015

I honestly didn’t think Mario + Rabbids would be as good as people were saying, I’m glad to be wrong. Plus it’s a console Xcom game that doesn’t run like poo poo.

This has been a good month for turn-based tactics. I really enjoyed MRKB but the XCOM2 expansion definitely has its hooks in me in a way that the former never did. Rabbids is good for short bursts (Perfect for the Switch) but XCOM is a thing where I suddenly look up and realize I've been playing for four hours straight
