ZombyDog posted:Nightdive's remake of System Shock I'm all over this game. I thought it'd be fun but maybe not a game I can't pull myself away from, but it's absolutely the latter. I just want to explore one more room. Or shoot my way through one more cyberspace terminal. There's, somehow, so little and so much to the game at the same time, and it's great. Edit: also finally getting my hands on it has me checking Gloomwood's dev updates feverishly. Especially since they got Terri Brosius to do VA in that game.

Very much enjoying this game about a longboarding sloth called Driftwood. It's in early access so there's some rough edges, but the drifting mechanic feels quite deep. I've played for about an hour and a half and it's only just starting to click. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2223700/Driftwood/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d5FxsiFXiI

I've played for about an hour and a half and it's only just starting to click. This one is fun. Chill but tricky and takes me back. It's missing a speed wobble mechanic though and there should always be a non-zero chance for your board to hit a small rock and send you flying through no fault of your own. I also can't figure out how to call my mom to come pick me up at the bottom of the hill.

Play posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1944430/Amnesia_The_Bunker/ This one's caught my interest. Folks in the horror games thread have been largely positive on the gameplay, the main gripe being a potentially fairly short playthrough time for the price. I'm definitely wishlisting to keep an eye on it.

ultrafilter posted:20 Minutes Till Dawn 20MTD was one of the early games to appear in the bullet heaven space when VS took off, and it’s a solid game. A major differentiator is (optional, I believe) manual aiming and weapon reloading, which adds some extra mechanical depth to the category since you have to factor in both weapon downtime and effects of firing on your movement speed. Worth a look and it has the side bonus of the genre being so cheap that it’s not really a loss if you bounce off it relatively quickly.

They lie, a single play-through is 3 hours tops and rather than having branching paths it's is a big old snarl of choices that more often than not lead to disappointing stories. Basically if your beginners guide has a section entitled, "Why was my first play through so boring?" you've hosed up

Autisanal Cheese posted:God it's so disappointing. I really have no idea what the heck happened, but the game is just a loving wreck. I'm not sure if its even salvageable. There might be a decent storyline in there, but it's easily the worst "modern style" visual novel I've played. Suzerain, I was a Teenage Exocolonist, The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante, or Vagrus all examples of neat and innovative visual novel variants that have come out in recent years. This feels a lot closer in spirit to The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog.....and that was an April Fool's joke.

I can't help wondering if making a browser forever game that prints money just massively warps their perception of what games are supposed to look like, so they're incapable of making a straightforward game for people to play through without a bunch of frustration to prolong the experience. Or at least maybe the core competencies of keeping a more than decade old browser game going and making new games doesn't overlap a ton.

Or at least maybe the core competencies of keeping a more than decade old browser game going and making new games doesn't overlap a ton. I actually feel the issue is that they've allowed themselves to become too intimate with the horror of their setting. Love and love stories were always a core component of the setting, but it's starting to feel a bit flanderized in-universe, IMO. It's only gotten more and more exaggerated as The Feast of the Exceptional Rose seems to become more and more of THE big event of Fallen London every year. If anything, I'd say The Mask of the Rose has had an overall negative effect on Fallen London as well. The corrosion of oppressive hierarchy through the power of secrets and subversive love is a central pillar of the setting, but it honestly feels like a lot of their newer stuff wants to just glaze over the hard or scary parts in favor of pursuing soft, intimate scenes or (and potentially worse) sanding off the corners of the scary parts of the setting to make it more easily smoochable.

https://twitter.com/failbettergames/status/1667170766255714305?s=46 Gonna probably hold off then till the update. This would fix the main issue I have with it. The writing is great as always, so it’ll be nice to have more time to discover it. Also this PC Gamer review sums up my thoughts https://twitter.com/pcgamer/status/1666961076531916805?s=46 quote:Failbetter's London is a treat to engage with as ever, but between the time pressure, the repetition, and the foibles of its storycrafting system, the game holding it up in Mask of the Rose never really coheres properly. It feels a bit like a first draft, the prelude to an excellent sequel that will come out in a few years with the kinks ironed out and an easier-to-grasp set of mechanics. It feels like Sunless Sea, basically. theblackw0lf fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Jun 9, 2023 |
