One of the secret weapons in the demo of Goblin America is the AK 47. Which, of course, stands for Assault Krifle 47.

Anyone remember the old game Ultimate Space Commando? Well, the dev is back making a sequel: USC Counterforce, and it looks pretty neat, if still in alpha. Top-down Space Hulk/XCOM fusion with a focus on tight turn-based tactical gameplay. quote:Explore and fight in interactable and fully destructible environments. Rearrange the battlefield, build barricades, avoid and exploit environmental hazards, lay traps, trigger chain reactions, seal airlocks, or break through walls—but be warned, your enemies have the same capabilities. I don't know how it plays yet but I am always, always down for more Space Hulk-likes.

Wow, just when I felt like Humble Choice was getting really forgettable, this next batch delivers quite a lotta nice things: Nioh 2 and Citizen Sleeper are great, I've heard decent things about Afterimage, Soulstice and Black Skylands, and I've wanted to check out Age of Sigmar from the Next Fest. Just...uh...ignore Saint's Row...

Saints Row '22 is fine. The Steam build was the definition of a 6/10 you hoped they'd polish a little more or really build upon for a sequel, sort of like... the original Saints Row, honestly. And then they shut them down a week afterwards.

Real big IMO here but I feel like 6/10 is incredibly generous. Like yeah the gameplay mostly works and you can shoot dudes and drive things and there's a story there but not one piece of it is fun or has redeeming qualities.

I was big on the variety of the side activities. I just hated how they had to be unlocked via the businesses as extra padding, and by endgame I really felt the lack of racing (there was ONE SIDE MISSION).

FutureCop posted:Wow, just when I felt like Humble Choice was getting really forgettable, this next batch delivers quite a lotta nice things: This one is a definite skip for me, heh. I am a little bored of soulslikes and I've played Nioh 1 for an hour and got bored of it, so that's two games out. I've given up on platformers - metroidvania, puzzle, precision, story-heavy, I don't care - so Afterimage is out. I'm not an RTS fan but I've tried Age of Sigmar's demo during the NextFest and I thought it was lumbering and tedious. Citizen Sleeper is okay, but I've already played it. (And I think it's a bit over-rated, tbh.) Saints Row is actually the game I like the most here; I've beaten it and while it's extremely mid, it's nowhere near as bad as everybody seems to think it is. I'd go so far as to give it a strong 7/10. The LARP missions were great. Black Skylands is the only game here I maybe would like to get eventually, since I enjoyed the NF demo, but I won't get the bundle just for one game.

The Gripper posted:I doubt the judge is going to allow wording like that in the final judgement and Nintendo's lawyers are ballsy for even putting that to them given the settlement. They reference a section of U.S. Code 1201 that applies to tools that are "...primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing protection afforded by a technological measure..." which hinges on item #3 - Yuzu self-asserting that the software was indeed designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing protection as part of their settlement agreement. Nintendo didn't get a chance to argue that point in court, and are probably happy not to given Bleem! already won against Sony and they had emulators selling in stores, though that was pre-DMCA era.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:6/10 is fine for like a short linear game that has some neat ideas implemented badly if you just wanna experience it for yourself Look, unless I want to go into the Ubisoft hole*, I'm real low on open-world sandboxes these days. It was an underwhelming but fresh game that still had some neat, underdeveloped stuff. The photo mode to steal and 3D print stuff for your base was cool, for instance, and if only there was more to that than "put three items up in two locations". e: I went looking for the last one to drop in recent memory that wasn't SR22, and it was Ghostwire Tokyo, which was much less entertaining on the whole. My last year's worth in the genre was Gotham Knights, Ghostwire Tokyo, and SR22. Easy winner. * Clearly I do not

The 7th Guest posted:according to the achievements that got added earlier this year, only 8% of cruelty squad owners have beaten the first level. what even the heck It could be like Baldur's Gate Enchanced edition where the achievements came out after the popularity surged. My rarest achievements are from that game just because nobody did an evil run through in 2020 or after

Goblins have often been used as a way for writers to get away with writing cartoonishly offensive caricatures of Jewish people, but Goblin America thankfully doesn't do anything like that. In that the first level you play as Goblin Abraham Lincoln, kill Goblin John Wilkes Boothe, and then bunny hop your way out of Ford's Theater, and as we know, Goblin Abraham Lincoln was Presbyterian if anything.

When goblins are tiny green things that attack low level adventurers they are fine. When goblins are hook nosed angry minorities who control the banking and currency system, then its a problem.

Like, some of those random scenarios you struggle just getting out of the lift. I didn't spend ages on it as it's EA and all, with all the rough edges one can imagine (I hit a bug in the tutorial which prevented me to continue, discovered that bug in the "fixed bugs" section of the forums, reported that it wasn't actually fixed, and it's still bugged for me), but I love the mood, and it definitely hits the Aliens/Space Hulk vibes.

Makes me glad I broke up with my girlfriend. She used to say she was going into "Goblin Mode", which I can now see is neo-nazi incel bullshit. I would probably still be with her, if she didn't cut her drat hair. Good thing I dodged that bullet.

goblins as a stock enemy are problematic because presenting a sentient race as intrinsically evil raises some bad ideas about nature vs nurture that chuds take with them into non-goblin-related discourse in the real world thats why i always tut tut to myself before casting a sick nasty overcharged fireball to blast a room full of them to smithereens and collect all their shiny loot & xp

Basically it's got a few faint echoes of potential gross bullshit dogwhistles, just enough that if you're concerned about such things you could possibly see it with some stretching. But the game itself at least looks like it's just sincere about its bullshit being silly instead of gross.
