You don't need to do that either since there is an alternate route to the Bastille.

Awesome! posted:i just looked up the pursuer and of course they would make the guy you need to fight that many times a boring guy in a big suit of armor with a sword He's just an rear end in a top hat enemy who's hyper aggressive, does tons of damage, has a lot of HP and appears a bunch at the worst possible time, but you don't actually need to fight him ever, you can run away. RhoA posted:I was under the impression that the very first time you see him on the rooftop is optional given that he doesn't come back if you die to him, whereas the fight later on is the actual boss fight against him. No, if you go via Heide's Tower and take the right path, there's an alternate way to the Lost Bastille that bypasses that fight entirely.

You can also summon a friend and kill him, or use the ballista to kill him or realize that rolling forward is a good idea and Agility is important. Or skip him. You have options.

Zombie Samurai posted:Did anyone mention the new Assassin's Creed spinoff that just came out? The fact that it's 2.5D and set in 16th century China got my attention. Is this at all similar to Mark of the Ninja? Because I would play the poo poo out of Mark of the Ninja in 2.5D. Also, all rear end Creed fans need to play Mark of the Ninja.

Granted, the information isn't as neatly presented as in MotN, but still… anything that comes close to the gameplay is a good thing.

What's the deal with Steam broadcasting, what's wrong with it that caused it to have such a tiny uptake? Is it purely the lack of monetization or is it lovely too?

It's just Twitch with less features. Also yeah, no monetization probably hurt it a LOT. There's no reason for any established streamers to switch.

I tried it once with a friend and it murdered performance, giving me huge loving hitches every couple seconds. But that was right after it came out so maybe they've improved it.

RBX posted:Cool, all I need now is a date for Axiom Verge and Velocity X2 ports. I'm trying to get back into Child of Light but I forgot that they start throwing in enemies that punish you for interrupting them. Which is the core mechanic of the game. It makes no sense from a design standpoint, since interrupting is the only way you gain an advantage in the battle, since you're often, if not always, outnumbered 3 to 2.

Orv posted:SH4 has been technically fixed and was a good game from the get-go, Silent Hunter 5 sort of works and has a couple TOs that expand the scope of the game both in navigable water and time period, but just reinstall Grey Wolves and play that. I wanted to play SH4 but I'm not paying $20 for it since the Steam version is 1.3 and you need the expansion (which brings you to 1.5) to install any mods for it.

You get additional points from not killing enemies. There are kill closets/traps/gadgets you can use to help you keep enemies from seeing you, and there are stealth elements similar to Mark of the Ninja. It has so far not even been mentioned she is an Assassin, she's just some angry Chinese lady with a sword. It's very good. I'm SUPER loving excited now for the one set in India, and particularly the one set during the Russian Revolution.

The developers of Steam's most underrated game Nimbus have a new puzzle game coming in the first week of May: Snakebird http://store.steampowered.com/app/357300 Looks like a very colorful combination of Snake and Nintendo's Boxboy (3DS eShop game).

BattleHamster posted:It would actually be pretty cool if someone could pull off a documentary about shovelware side of indie gaming. I feel like I'd be more interested in that then a documentary about the high-profile experimental games that we've heard about in the media a hundred times over. I found it really disturbing that this cycle continues. I think we're almost past the stage of infinite indie platformers though. I went to PAX East this year and was instead met by a deluge of side-scrolling beat-em-up's instead. I guess that age bracket grew up and learned to make games. Don't get me wrong, some of them are fun but most of them are just side-scrolling beat-em-ups with co-op and LEVELING FEATURES and some were just more polished than others. I really doubt indies (or rather, 1-6 person teams) will ever truly tackle stuff like city builders, stealth games, flight sims and certain other genres. Or someone could prove me wrong; a few of those I listed exist, but they're the exception rather than the rule.
