Tangents posted:Been knocking out a chunk of these. Still good picrosses, but the fusion thing gets a little tedious. The list of answers you can use keeps growing and growing with each puzzle, but I'm using stuff like 'iron' and 'fire' again and again. As someone that has played a lot of nonograms across a lot of different platforms, its not bad. I appreciate the difficulty tuning, being able to set it so the game doesn't freak out because I misclicked is appreciated. My biggest complaint is the game is a little slow in getting from puzzle to puzzle. Part of this is the fusion stuff (interesting idea, like those old God games where you combine elements), part of it is the fancy transition effects, part of it is just an abundance of confirmations. Yes, I want to solve this puzzle, that is why I double clicked on it. One thing I really appreciate with zero assists: the starting fundamental puzzles are a good mix of challenging and easy. Most of these games involve entire play sessions of jamming through 5x5 puzzles with zero thought, but some of the initial 10x10 puzzles which are mixed in the 5x5s are legitimately challenging. After 3 or 4 sub-10 second clears, taking 2 or 3 minutes to clear a 10x10 is actually a good change.

Never got that deep into Zero Ranger but I picked it up again since falling in love with Void Stranger. Got to Stage 4 for the first time and jeeze what a crazy sense of escalation, I don't think I blinked for like 2 minutes. Super cool game.

How about gently caress Unity because they aren't adding any value and just demanding more money. This is not ok under any circumstances what so ever and they are rightfully getting raked over the coals for it because of how stupid it is. This will not work and Unity is dead because of it. The DRM alone is hilariously unworkable.

The only way the Unity thing could be remotely justifiable is if they were providing future-proof/live runtimes. (Which obviously they're not.)mistermojo posted:finally some good gaming news https://store.steampowered.com/app/2478970/Tomb_Raider_IIII_Remastered/

teethgrinder posted:I feel these aged so terribly and not because of the graphics. Even that nice Anniversary remake feels like a slog these days. But sure, great for nostalgia. I'm gonna buy it anyways. Can't wait to play each of them for an hour or so and then quit in frustration after missing a ledge grab for the 200th time. To this day, I don't think I've played past Greece in the first game, even in the more-tolerable Anniversary remake. vv I mean yeah, my favorite games from the series were the middle trilogy, Legend, Anniversary and Underworld. They still felt like Tomb Raider but were just modern enough to not be irritating to play. King Vidiot fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Sep 14, 2023 |

I recently replayed Tomb Raider 1 for the first time and even with the clunky controls the eerie atmosphere and solitary exploration of these strange places make it stand head and shoulders over the modern games for me. It would not have thought so before replaying it.

some multiplatform announcements from the nintendo direct (ie Steam): SPYxANYA Operation Memories (2024) gives off Boku no Natsuyasumi vibes, as you play as Anya building a photo diary, going on outings with your parents and playing minigames. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QplvkQ33EpQ SaGa Emerald Beyond (2024) carries on the gameplay and design style of Scarlet Grace but with a new cast of cool characters like a witch, a puppetmaster, a cowboy cop and her partner who are probably gay, a dandy dark lord, and an idol stuck in a tiny robot.  Unicorn Overload (March 8th 2024) is a team-up between Atlus and Vanillaware (13 Sentinels, Odin Sphere) that looks like it will be a gorgeous tactical RPG.  Contra: Operation Galuga (Q1 2024) is a remake (plus new content?) of the original game, and it may look a lil ugly (though not as ugly as Rogue Corps), but it is being handled by Wayforward, who developed fan-favorite Contra 4 for the DS. also from the direct: - Eastward is getting a life/farming sim DLC called Octopia at EOY 2023. - Another Code 2 is coming to the west as part of a two-pack of an Another Code(Trace Memory in the US) collection, both having HD remakes that look quite nice. May be Switch-only, as the original games were on the Nintendo DS and Wii respectively. - Wargroove 2, which IS coming to PC, has a release date: October 5th. Does anyone still care about Chucklefish at this point? - Two more League of Legends spinoff games announced: Song of Nunu (November 3rd), and Bandle Tale. - Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes (Suikoden's spiritual successor) release date: April 23rd, 2024 The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Sep 14, 2023 |

The big Cyberpunk 2.0 parch comes out on Thursday, about four days before the expansion launches. Big things for this are that it completely re-does the skill tree, taking it from mostly incremental upgrades, to things like new abilities (and also some incremental upgrades to go along with them). They're released a build planner so you can get a look at what's changing. Overhauls the police system to (hopefully) not be complete garbage. Changes gear and cyberware. All of your armour comes from cyberware now, all clothing is entirely cosmetic it seems. I don't know for sure, but from reading the skill tree it seems like grenades and health recharges might be abilities on cooldown now and not consumables anymore? Car chases and vehicle combat are a thing now and have been added to the base game as random events, don't know if they'll be in missions from the base game though, but definitely part of the expansion

I think the first three TR games are pretty great tho 2 has way too many human enemies and not enough tomb raiding. I think the new graphics look like poo poo but it looks like you can swap between the graphics like the Halo MCC release so that's fine I guess.

Unicorn Overload is a really good name, but the game is actually called Unicorn Overlord, which might be better.

I’m also pretty sure it isn’t coming out on PC. Which is weird as it’s coming out on Xbox but I guess there’s some “thing” at Vanillaware about releasing on computers.

You figure Atlus would sit Vanillaware aside and show them some of their Steam sales figures. One of the reasons I finally switched over to PC gaming was because at this point, all of the major Japanese publishers jumped onto Steam. It's a lot better than it was about a decade ago.

mistermojo posted:finally some good gaming news https://store.steampowered.com/app/2478970/Tomb_Raider_IIII_Remastered/ These types of collections are really great. The new visuals suck but toggling old and new visuals on the fly is always really cool. This is also another scratch in the “come on Capcom, when the gently caress are you going to do this for RE1-3” column.

Far Cry 6 is 15 bucks on steam. Not the best game ever, but I had tons of fun with it and I think maybe it was a bit unfairly maligned. A good game for what it is and definitely worth the price if you like open world shooters. I also picked up Far Cry Blood Dragon for less than 4 bucks. Because why not, I've heard good things e: also why does Far Cry have a trademark next to it? Don't think I've ever seen a game on steam have a trademark icon even though they are surely trademarked in the most part mistermojo posted:finally some good gaming news https://store.steampowered.com/app/2478970/Tomb_Raider_IIII_Remastered/ For some reason it didn't look as weird with the ancient graphics, but her waist is like four inches wide lol.
