Nefarious 2.0 posted:pony island Seconding this, it’s one of my favorite depictions of satan: still a legitimate threat that you’re forced to take seriously even though he’s also a complete jackass and terrible game designer. Specifically waited to say this, don’t wanna insult the guy on his big page.

Dude. Volcano Princess, Return from Core, Yog-Sothoth’s Yard, Hero's Adventure: Road to Passion; All cool looking games I would have loved to play but have horrible english translations. It's loving annoying. This is a problem now.

Azran posted:Lastly, my complaint with God of Weapons is that even in a genre full of cheap games, it feels VERY cheap. It's not an EA title, but it certainly feels like one. It also gets some points off for copying Brotato's stat system pretty much wholesale lol I still like it though! I haven't played any of the others mentioned - Time Wasters' art in particular has strong "this was AI generated" vibes. Yeah I will say that I am not sure what it adds over Brotato. The Tetris is fun at least to a point, but it does sort of feel like it mostly hamstrings the combos you can get relative to brotato.

Never played Brotato to compare, but I quite like the Inventory Tetris "minigame" in God of Weapons. Trying to optimize item placements / rotations for Adjacent Item bonuses.

K8.0 posted:Play Mario Odyssey. It's the largely uncontested best platformer. No lives, free warping around levels, approachable but with an incredibly high skill ceiling, and an unbelievable amount of content. It's one of the best dopamine inducers mankind has ever produced. i actually did play that when i got my switch way back in 2017, and forgot about it until now! but it's funny, i will say that my positive memories of that game are not about the actual platforming, and entirely around how weird and creative the environments and objectives are. the platforming in that game just seems like the mechanism through which you discover that, which is also why i never did any of the postgame stuff: the last thing i wanted was hard platforming challenges. i loved how creative that game was but never liked the part where i jumped on things. pseudoregalia is the exact opposite: the platforming is the only point, and somehow i love it! the game has like 5 enemy types, like 3 boss battles, and only a few unique environments; you are not there to see what wacky things await around each corner but instead to master your traversal of the world. it's pretty fuckin cool. i beat it last night (ended up being about 8 hours total). did end up using a map walkthrough to grab the last couple major objectives, and had to get hints for where to pick up the last few powers - i didn't pick up the wall kick and wall ride until VERY late in the game, so had to do a lot of extra backtracking to find the areas i was supposed to have been going with those. would love to see what the developer does next.

unrelated question: is Spider-Man Miles Morales a game that stands up on its own? i don't usually have the patience for full-size open world games, but kinda love the idea of standalone spinoffs - the only infamous i ever played through was first light, lol - and i've also heard negative things about the original game's cop-centric storyline. would jumping straight into Miles Morales be reasonable? otoh it's still $30 while original Spider-Man is $36 and like three times as long according to HLTB so i guess it's a "worse deal," weird pricing there

It's less bloated than the original Spider-Man and in some ways that focus makes it just straight-up a better game. I will say, though: I played through the PC port of Spider-Man with no issues, but Miles Morales crashed on me incessantly. No idea why.

The Tetris is fun at least to a point, but it does sort of feel like it mostly hamstrings the combos you can get relative to brotato. Just grabbed it as I saw it was on sale for like $4 or whatever. Yea, it definitely feels like "the same game"... but I miss the Dash Button from GoW, and the Newgrounds era Flash animation art style doesn't do it for me, not that GoW's style of "low effort unity store 3d modells" is any more appealing. And now it's apparent that yea GoW clearly just lifted a lot of numbers/ideas from this. Also I like how GoW silos unlockable content a little more cleanly, it's not just a giant grid of every possible character - instead there are individual avatars for each class with 3 subclasses. Brotato feels a bit overwhelming that I'm supposed to look at all of these and decide Dunno, they're similar but different enough IMO.

Kaddish posted:I think Brotato is kind of boring. You're not wrong. Especially the "build" part. There are too many possibilities and too few options, so to make the game playable the it rigs the RNG to favor certain rolls, and ultimately it's very boring because of that. You just play what it wants you to play and most of the actual gameplay is mindless too, so I just don't see a point. IMO VS, HoT, and Holocaust are the only games in the genre really worth playing.

Death Must Die is probably my favorite iteration on the formula, however it needs more content, probably some balance tweaks on the Gods, and something in addition to your Gear as a form of 'meta progression' As my cousin put it, "There are runs where you get Mort and there bad runs"

Tiny Rogues is an incredibly good game all around and if you have a controller you can turn on VS-style auto targeting for what it's worth.

Trying to play through No Mans Sky again. How weirdly obsessed it is with sounding mystical and stardusty isn't any less grating than it was before, unfortunately. At least they included an option to get rid of the "hold A to confirm" nightmare they had for every action.

It is quite impressive how many updates NMS has had that add additional elements just as boring and annoying as the things it started out with. Many years in and the planets are still has boring as ever.

Yeah, I've tried picking it up several times over the years because I keep reading that it's actually great now that it's had these big updates, but it's still the same exact game it has always been. Adding an option to disable "hold LMB to interact" timers sounds like the first good major change but not even VR is enough to make the exploration fun

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Haven’t seen it mentioned yet so I wanted to also recommend Pode as a great low-stress co-op game. It’s a puzzle game that’s not too hard and also super cute. Dredging this post up from the distant past of several days ago to say that I bought Pode based on your recommendation. Mrs Boat and I played the first couple of areas today and we loved it. It's extremely sweet and while the puzzles aren't too hard (yet) there's plenty of joyful little "aha!" moments. Thoroughly recommended for anyone after a chill gaming session for two.

Outward is Morrowind meets Ultima Underworld if you enjoy punching yourself in the genitals for little to no benefit.

This popped up on Steam yesterday and looks worthy of a follow for any Kenshi or similar game enjoyers: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2724650/The_Bustling_World/ It's also on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/firewogames/the-bustling-world Doesn't seem off to the hottest start, but they say that it's to help finish the game faster, and it will be completed either way. Apparently it's a husband/wife team doing all this. Hopefully a bit more visibility through Steam helps them out.
