Yeah, after telling me that it wasn't going to happen, and I bought it from Germany.

I think license fuckery was probably to blame, there's all sorts of complication with the Tetris license in different territories still, I think.

Get it though, it's sweet.

Oh yeah i got it digitally and i had a good time with it but I'm a bit miffed at how much i paid to stick with digital when i could have sold on a physical copy

Neat game but kinda underwhelming at full price

If you're not a fan of Tetris anyway, I can see £40 being a lot to ask for it.

I've been waiting for something like this for a while now, Thoroughly enjoying it as a de-stresser.

This is no surprise if it's using TF2 as a base because that game is tight as a drum

I don’t know what it is about Apex Legends but it’s so nice to okay. I usually find BR either stressful or too slow but something about this one is just right. I can’t stress enough how well done the non verbal communication mechanics are. I’ve only played solo queued games. No one has said anything via mic. Each game has seen the personalities of the players come out strong. There’s always a leader, always someone who happens to be a great spotter. It’s a good game. If you’re on the fence give it a download.

Yeah, Apex Legends does a good job of making you able to play with a team even if you don’t like talking to randos over a mic, which makes it better than pretty much any BR game besides BLOPS 4’s blackout’s solo mode.

I'm absolutely garbage at Apex Legends, as I am at all other BR / FPS games, but this one has retained my attention for longer than all the others simply because of the nonverbal communication cues, as well as the specific roles that Legends can play.

Having character abilities makes a big difference, too, it gives you SOMETHING you can use to get away if someone comes across you before you have enough firepower to stand and fight.

If I’m gonna start Ace Combat 5, is Easy or Normal a comparable difficulty to Ace Combat 7’s Easy?

AC5 lacks the “high G” turning of AC6 onward so the dogfights against the boss type enemies can be a fair bit more annoying than 7 because you are expected to kill them. The bosses don’t move nearly as much as the ones in 7 though. What they typically do is follow a set pattern of turning until they hit a point where they level out briefly and can be hit, the challenge is following them until that point.

All that said I think the only big thing difficulty changes is how much damage you take before you die and maybe how much time missions give you.

I was pretty proud of myself for figuring out a tactic for beating Mihaly and the drones with standard missiles and guns: I’d run far away and when they’d start heading in my direction I’d turn around and play jousting/chicken with them. Otherwise I could almost never turn hard enough to catch their tails.

Get the qaam.

Real hurthling! posted:

You must steer a needle into your characters own eye

I need to add to this from a few pages back because it’s such a fantastic moment.

In Dead Space 2 (and Dead Space) the action of entering a machine (like seen here) is a cutscene in itself Not unlike entering an upgrade shop. You then get locked in place and the surgery laser lights up and... nothing.

You’re wondering if anything is wrong and you probably move the joystick to maybe trigger a prompt and then the laser moves and it hits you YOU’RE OPERATING ON YOURSELF. It was such a what the gently caress moment added with the dynamic of the faster you go the more anxious Isaac gets and the more his eye moves. But if you go too slow the nervousness ramps up as well so it’s this balance of poking yourself in the eye while driving the machine yourself.

And of course if you gently caress up the game delivers in spades.

EDIT: this video does a good job showing the moment

Sure, okay. But why close the thread?

My super spicy take is that Death Stranding will be a PS5 game not PS4.

Now that I think about it, were the Dead Space games a single-take presentation? The first one is automatically disqualified because it had load points, but the second one streamed everything and it absolutely did the thing where you seamlessly enter and leave scripted sequences. I actually don't remember if it had mid-level cutscenes where you lose camera continuity, I remember lots of places where it quite spectacularly didn't like the multiple times Isaac gets flung out into space for QTEs.

because its my understanding that if no one posts in a thread for a long while it automatically falls into the archive.

September 2020 maybe

I don't think Kojima or Sony wants to split platforms again. And releasing at the end of a console's lifespan would be a dud.

The first game actually sort of tried to hid the load points by zooming into the tram map when you were traveling between levels. I mean, you could obviously tell it was loading but it was a nice move.
