Pinball Arcade Losing Over 50 Bally and Williams Tables On June 30th
Farsight Studios have announced via Facebook that their licensing agreement for the Williams and Bally pinball trademarks will not be renewed. Tables manufactured by those two companies will no longer be purchasable within Pinball Arcade on all platforms. This includes everything from Medival Madness and Black Knight 2000 to licensed titles such as Doctor Who and Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The latter pair is notable, as they are two of the five crowdfunded tables present in the current game. All these Kickstarter successes will no longer be available to purchase once the update rolls out.

Overall, Pinball Arcade will be reduced from the current 95 tables to just 33.




Lol. Mega RIP. Just say you're not supporting the game anymore. De-list it.

GTA4 recently patched out most of its music

anyway here's a scene from TESTAMENT OF SHERLOCK HOLMES

Do you mean a proper PS4/XB1 version? I feel like the game has too many rough edges to be worth it. They made it backwards-compatible on Xbox One, though, and at least on the last gen systems it's been available as an all-in-one physical SKU for several years now.

DLC Inc posted:

Guess this is why it got taken off Switch so fast. I was looking forward to having it portable but looks like that's never gonna happen.

Good news, it's on PSVita and cross-buy...

with the PS3 version, not the PS4 version, so you can get it portable but are gonna have to buy a second copy of all the tables. :retrogames:

I guess it's a little bland (I can remember literally nothing about the story except for people saying the villain looked like the EA E3 guy) and open world was probably the wrong way to go with it but running and jumping around still feels good so I liked it

So continuing playing some indie games after just getting through two lengthy AAA games, I started Minit this morning...and also beat Minit this morning. I did miss a ton of stuff (I think I only got 50% completion) but I dunno, the game just didn't grab me. It's a game that's all about it's gimmick with gameplay that is just passable and mostly just does it's best to get out of the way of the gimmick. I guess in general it's more of a puzzle game than a Zelda game but I kind of hate time limits in puzzle games because I like just being able to think about stuff built and this is a puzzle game completely built around its time limit. After awhile all the time limit adds is a bunch of tedious backtracking getting of the way of me trying to take time to figure stuff out. It's a concept that's interesting but in practice I think I just find it more irritating than anything else.

It is not. The one good thing about the original (cool parkour routes) is hosed up because it's open world so you have to redo them multiple times and they can't be too intricate.

It improves on the first one in pretty much every single way, except the story is a big nothing.

Holy moly but Outlast 2 was terrible.

It's literally just the same gameplay loop over and over for 5ish hours. There's the quiet bits where you are walking around and scavenging batteries and bandages then you hit a checkpoint and enemies spawn and you just run to the next checkpoint to make them go away again so you can get back to scavenging in the next area.

You are supposed to use stealth and whatever but there is no reason to do any of that because moving to the next bit of the level just makes the threat despawn. Occasionally you get teleported to a school and replay the same 5 corridors with insta-kill trial and error monsters chasing you. You deal with them by finding the next checkpoint to make them despawn.

Add to that the worst voice acting I have experienced in years, an utterly dogshit story that doesn't really get fleshed out or make sense and a fuckton of cringeworthy teenage edgelord poo poo and it is easily one of the worst games I've played in the past few years.

Ugh. That scene was already incredibly on-the-nose because the writers are apparently utter loving hacks.

It's nearly incomprehensible how they made it even worse. It's not even done for any kind of thought provoking reason or as an attempt make the player confront something uncomfortable to increase the impact of the story, it's literally just "LOOKIT HOW FUKKIN GROSS THIS IS!".
