I'd argue that there really isn't a point to playing them past the first one, because they all have the same plot.

i'm also looking at point & click and FMV games in general lately, for the next steam sale batch buy but in addition to that, seeing what P&C games are not available on steam/GOG/amazon/etc, and seeing if they're on archive.org for free -- they usually are, thank you DMCA exemption

I definitely saw new areas in some of the updates but also stuff from Overseer like the fuckin "the floor is lava" art room They also plan on doing one last Tex Murphy game after Poisoned Pawn that'll wrap everything up

What's GotM? The XCOM 2 expansion is really, really good if you so much as "kinda liked" the base game. The new stuff is quite exciting and it all feels good and balanced

They have the same "plot" in the same way Phoenix Wright has the same plot. It's the characters that are important and the sequel definitely has a better cast although it's basically cheating.

Xcom 2: WotC is so good I've already completed two campaigns of it and am in the process of doing a third. Probably will stop after finishing this one but I could keep going honestly. There's been so much good poo poo this year.

I've already got The Evil Within 2 lined up for next month I'm going through Evil Within 1 even though I saw your LP and explanation vid a while back. It's pretty good. I wasn't hyped for it when it came out and I just stuck it on my wishlist and I finally took the plunge after seeing it on sale for the millionth time. psychoJ posted:actually wait RUINER comes out this week This looks pretty dope. The game I'm waiting for most is Wolfenstein: New Colossus. Probably the only thing I'm really hyped for at the moment.

I've been playing Arkanoid vs Space Invaders on the train and it's one of the best game mash-ups I've tried. They even went the extra mile and added anime companions for the hell of it. Big win.

The Colonel posted:as long as they just make general combat improvements it'll still probably be better than the original I've come to terms that the Mana series is the most inconsistent beloved series. Nobody really talks about the first game in any of its iterations except to laugh at how overly wordy Sword is describing the antics of a character named DarkLord. Secret is beloved but it's a buggy mess with an awful magic grinding system and under the hood it's mashed potatoes. SD3 is better but you can build your characters into a wall as class upgrades can remove important spells permanently. I swear by Legend of Mana because I got into roleplaying around the same time and the free form design informed my RP style but it's piss easy and your choices don't matter. I actually found someone who likes Children, the totally not-Diablo game. I've literally never met anyone who likes the PS2 game, which has a lot in common with Kingdoms of Amalur, or that RTS game. And are people playing those mobile titles? gently caress, give Mana to Vanillaware. Odin Sphere isn't too far removed from a Mana game in aesthetics or style and I think the top down action is kind of wasted on the series. Legend was at least trying to be a beat 'em up instead of a weird action hybrid with fake hit boxes and spells that freeze everything.

speaking of things that rip off the basic structure of secret of mana, i like these more densely-packed trees better imo. why aren't they also behind the cliff? because the cliff is on layer -9996 but the tree is on layer -<y position>  al-azad posted:or that RTS game. that's because the rts game was irredeemable. it felt okay in the beginning, but after the number of units on the field starts to increase past a certain number, the game runs into insane clock speed problems and you lose your actions if certain frames are dropped. and it's always skipping your action frames Fur20 fucked around with this message at 09:26 on Sep 25, 2017 |

But seriously, whoever came up with the idea to let you bounce Space Invaders' projectiles back at them using Arkanoid mechanics is a cool person.  Are there other examples of good mash-up games?
