haldolium posted:recommend playing the game where the fascist squirrel gets a beating instead Played a couple hours of this last night, it's pretty good. Really feels like an indie game from like 2010 that got all the time and polish it needed to be fully finished, in good and bad ways. Lots of dumb jokes and internet references (especially around said fascist squirrel, King Josh), but it's also got a compelling plot and really nice pixel art. It's not one of those RPGs where you're messing around with equipment and stat points all the time and grinding out XP or whatever, it's more like a series of boss fights with a handful of easier fights in between.

Since I posted in the RPG thread, might as well mention my feelings on Small Saga after beating it: The good: The soundtrack is an absolute loving banger. Incredibly charming and well done sprite work The plot is pretty fun and does a good job of not winking at the camera. It also comes down pretty firmly on the side of "literally kicking fash out the windows" which is nice. The bad: There's a lot of modern slang peppered throughout which doesn't feel great. A lot of 'this is cringe' or 'this is sus' or "uwu softboi". It is what it is but it feels a bit weird at times. The combat is very easy. Most fights can be won in like two rounds tops and there's rarely a need to do anything but just nonstop attack. I think I healed like twice and that was near the start of the game.

Putting in the RPG element doesn't make it feel like vn or walking sim which is nice and appreciated and gives gameplay in between but as you say there is not much to it. Writing and humour is great, and I found the touch of dumb internet posting slang in there charming, also fits the general very left political position pretty good

Fat Samurai posted:I'm in a action indie roguelike thing bend right now (played Spelunky, Void Rains Upon her Heart, Nova Drift...) so I was wondering if the remastered version of Risk of Rain is worth it. I have 10 hours in the original and enjoyed it fine, but got distracted by something or other. It's a fantastic glow up. Sands down some rough edges, backports stuff from 2, adds entirely new stuff of its own, and there's overall More to it. Multiplayer seems to actually function now. In terms of "is it worth the asking price if I already own the original" I'd say yes. But it doesn't totally reinvent the game either. If you were kinda lukewarm on it to begin with the remaster isn't likely going to massively change your feelings on it. For me personally, I'd put like half a dozen action roguelites ahead of RoRR at the very least.

Okay I finally picked up and installed Apollyon and I like what I'm seeing Here is my steam review quote:I've only dipped my toes into this so far, but I feel compelled to leave a positive review. And here's the store page if that sounds like your alley: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1472060/Apollyon_River_of_Life/. It's still 12$ for a few more days.

I'll never forget the first time I fought the soldiers. The AI was loving incredible and annoyingly difficult. That's something that's always bothered me about Halflife 2; the AI never seemed to be as good as the original.

Lightningproof posted:I just want 16:9 resolutions and controller support on basic-rear end KOTOR. You have to gently caress around with mods, but I recently replayed it in 16:9, including rescaled swoop racing and upscaled cutscenes (to avoid the resolution change). Controller support though I haven't attempted. Bet you could make some gnarly steam input stuff.

It's why the one bark for "oh gently caress we got wiped out" is "OUTBREAK OUTBREAK OUTBREAK" - the last one standing can't contain you/the resistance forces any longer, but everything they say or do is like that. The PA system does the same thing along with advertising for joining the Combine forces and has an ongoing narrative for how much Gordon's loving up the place They're no genome soldiers from FEAR with their constant freaking out at slow mo and grenades though lol RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Nov 17, 2023 |
