This is about as far as I can get on my own, and if I don't have a breakthrough soon I might have to look it up, sigh. I should pick up Cosmic Express and Sokobond, hmm. e: looked up a guide and the first thing he did was something I hadn't thought of, and I solved it with that. Success!! e2: oh god that postgame. no. too complex for me. Game complete, glad I played it, I rec it to others for being super charming and fun.

If I remember correctly the solution is super long and complicated. I couldn't bring myself to do the post-game. Think overall I like Cosmic Express and Sokobond better than Snowman.

Cowcaster posted:it's pretty crummy but it is free so it's got that going for it at least. gachapon mechanics, money traps, and a power creep curve so violent it's criminal ahoy though. if for whatever reason you do end up pulling the trigger on it just to check it out, never use real money currency (which the game throws a bunch at you when you're starting out to get you hooked) for anything besides expanding your stash. the game will beg you for fifty cents each time your character dies and it's absolutely the worst way to spend real world money on the game since all your characters get obsoleted as you climb the tower anyway, and if you want your inventory full of blueprints back you can just pay a pittance of in game cash for that I always thought Dark Souls had too many gotcha mechanics, but this is ridiculous!

also while it has a lot of dark souls dna in its (extremely, extremely shallow) combat system, there's also a surprising amount of monster hunter in there as well, in the sense that the core gameplay loop getting you to progress to higher floors is collecting 85 pieces of metal butts to upgrade your stink spear to a +4 stink spear which lets you beat the next 10 floors where you need to collect 300 HOT metal butts to upgrade your +4 stink spear to a +4 HOT stink spear but your storage space and the crafting time on all these things are gated behind real world money cash grabs too

The original idea for AC3 sounds like it could have been amazing. It's really obvious that what we got happened because someone at Ubisoft realized that what the story was originally leading to would end the moneyhose.Orv posted:The fact that Shaun never turned out to be a Templar spy is basically the only surprising bit of storytelling Assassin's Creed has ever done. And I like the dumb Templar/Assassin bullshit but god knows it's never terribly original. It's always fun to think that they had to hamhandedly retcon Kristen Bell into being a templar spy and killed off because she was too busy being in Frozen to care about rear end Creed anymore RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Apr 6, 2020 |

goferchan posted:Ever play Stephen's Sausage Roll? Great game but good god I haven't, SSR's notorious difficulty has scared me off a bit (and I also bounced off English Country Tune). I sort of just assume I won't be able to beat it and that's discouraging enough to make me not even want to start. That's a bad way to engage with a game, of course, or any endeavor at all really, which certainly explains a lot about my life. Fortunately I'm feeling all right about my progress in The Witness!

Someone reminded me of the existence of Hitman's 2 expansion pass where a level is infiltrating a bank, and bank levels are always the best stuff in any game ever released. My evidence for this is that Deus Ex Human Revolution had you infiltrating a bank and it was the best part of that game. Thief 2 (the best Thief game) had you infiltrate a bank. GTA and Red Dead both have bank heisting and those were fun. Payday 2 was nothing but heisting but that game has so much content and arcane mechanics I'm sure it's loving impossible to get into at this point and they'll just kick you out of lobbies unless you're a god-tier billionaire ultra-ninja.

It’s a shame that so much of that was due to Overkill imploding; I would have loved to see them take another crack at the concepts introduced in Payday 2 with a clean slate and a higher budget.

I played tons for the first two years but haven't touched it since. Early days was fun as hell. Not sure where I'd step in now if I tried to reinstall.

I'd put bank levels on the same tier as museum levels. I do have a vague memory of breaking into a vault in Dark Forces and that being my favorite level in that game except I'll never be able to revisit it because I've never been able to get past the sewers when I try replaying it.

So speaking of puzzle games and specifically Electron Dance (the channel that made that Witness video posted above), anybody interested in puzzle game design and/or the process of learning to solve them should absolutely go read the Ouroboros Sequence.

I found synthetik arena much less interesting than the real game for what it’s worth, as it’s pretty static and progression is less engaging than what you see over the course of a normal synthetik run, but it’ll let you see how the game controls/feels so it sort of works as a demo

Hmmm. Reinstalled AssCreed Origins because I never did actually poke its discovery tour feature and whoa, good stuff.    Then I figured why not and resumed the main game a bit and killed the Lizard:   And while it's definitely a bit clunkier than Odyssey, it's a joy to play and I'm kind of tempted to see if I can't polish off the main quest at least - I didn't realize how close I am. According to the internet I have one more target, and roughly 11 main quests left (including the final target) so it's not a huge ask if I can avoid being sidetracked. No promises, no guarantees. I also spent an hour fishing in Far Cry 5 so I am very easily distracted. But it would be nice to "finish" one of these games. (As well as see the DLC I paid for!)

I loved the kind of interlocking systems based nonsense you could execute in that game and it looks like Tactical Breach Wizards is going for the same feel by way of Into the Breach?
