Dr. Angela Ziegler posted:Incorrect, Do You Still Shower With Your Dad: Dad Showering Simulator is actually a lot deeper gameplay wise than it at first appears. It kinda falls in that Try Not To Fart spot, where the idea is stupid, and the resources spent on it are appropriate, but somehow they made something worth playing. This is why I'm playing hunniepop.

Too Shy Guy posted:Gary Whitta used to write for PC Gamer, which makes it all the more amazing he's gone as far as he has. Gives all the rest of us hope, really. I know this is late, but I'm catching up on the thread. I wanted to say that I've been listening to old PC Gamer podcast episodes from 2006 and Whitta is on there all the time. He is definitely the best guy to listen to on that awful thing. The hosts on that show are made up of dipshits, misogynists, homophobes and racists. I mean, they're all that in the way that you can forgive your ignorant uncle for because he grew up in Arkansas in the 60s or whatever. Like, there's no malice behind it, but whenever I hear the main host guy utter some transphobic But anyway, Whitta is great to listen to because he has good foresight. When Oblivion came out, the other hosts were barely managing a continuous never ending orgasm about it, but Whitta suggested that the game isn't really that good and he points out a lot of flaws that now seem obvious but back then, it's easy to imagine being so hypnotized by the game's beauty that one cannot see the problems. Which is a major problem when your podcast is made up of PC game reviewers -- they do this with several games that in retrospect seem really dumb, but Whitta seemed to be constant and consistent with his opinions. Anyway, I'd never actually heard of him until I started listening to this decade-old podcast, and then I finally got around to seeing Book of Eli, and saw that he wrote it, and I thought this couldn't be the same derpy gaming nerd I'm listening to, but...yes, it is great how far he's come.

spider wisdom posted:Finally. It's been looking great forever. This is worth it, by the way. I started a new playthrough the other day because I'm getting hyped about Shadow of War, and it still holds up pretty well. The batman combat is really well-implemented, and the Nemesis System orc captains have a lot of variety and personality. It shows its seams a little- I feel like a lot of missions were more or less missing a previous cutscene to provide context. Overall, though, it's a lot of fun to gently caress around with orc politics, and figure out semi-open ended warchief assassinations.

Jordan7hm posted:Siralim 2 is free on Android this weekend but it's also on steam. It got linked in the roguelike thread but it's most of like an endless grind RPG with monster summoning and breeding and some cool progression elements (build your castle, gain favour with 15 gods, do some side quests). It's really good. Yeah I want to quote this and say Siralim 2 is an extremely good game and completely worth the $15 price point. I got 35 hours of enjoyment out of it before deciding to take a break and I still plan to go back and start a new game sometime soon. It's like Dragon Quest Monsters minus storyline and plus a ton of dungeon-crawling and base-building mechanics. My only complaint is that the spell system can leave you high and dry with no good spells for a long time if RNG isn't in your favor, but it's easy enough to rely on physical attack monsters until then or just take along one of the monsters that gives all other monsters in your party a specific spell as their unique trait. Also some of the themed monster sets that are intended to be used together (e.g. hounds, I think?) have some pretty major gaps in their lineups that make them hard to use for boss fights. e: But the boss fights are incredibly well designed and force you to constantly adapt your party composition as you progress deeper and that's awesome. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Jun 19, 2017 |

dromal phrenia posted:Which are the good AssCreed games? Black Flag is supposed to be fun, right? Black Flag and Syndicate are both good picks. Black Flag is notable because it's a high-seas piracy simulator. Doing pirate poo poo and exploring all the little islands is fun as hell, but the story missions are rear end. It's very pretty, and it's fun to use your boat to gently caress up other boats, and boarding enemy boats to take them over is neat. The cities are small and boring, though, and the story missions are almost all "follow these assholes and eavesdrop", it feels like. A few of the story missions are cool; the one where you free a bunch of sugar plantation slaves is pretty open-ended, for example- you have the run of the whole facility, and you can hide in the fields. The fort invasions are kinda fun, but they're pretty samey. It's amusing to bust into the officer's room and just end that guy with a pistol shot every time, though. Syndicate drops the boat stuff, but Victorian London is loving beautiful to explore, and rendered with a lot more color and vibrancy than is typically portrayed in popular media. Your home base is a steam train that's constantly circling around the map. You get a batman-style grappling gun that you can use to hookshot up to the roofs, make ziplines, and so on. The story missions are mostly heist preparation-style deals that lead up to semi-open ended "infiltrate this facility and kill a dude in one of the following ways, preferrably" scenarios. The player character is twins, Evie and Jacob. You can swap between them at will outside of missions, and each has their own skill tree. Evie is fun to play as because her hand-to-hand style is like outlandishly brutal. Jacob just kind of punches the poo poo out of people; Evie goes for the pressure points and joint breaks. She also gets the ability to turn invisible if she stands still as her skill tree capstone, which lets you get up to some completely ludicrous ninja poo poo in the latter 1/3 of the game (or more if you grind for some reason).

I seem to have pushed past most of the bad stuff on my list, so I'm finally back to playing things that are at least fun, if not super amazing. 1. Primordia 2. Black Mirror III 3. Puzzle Agent 4. Puzzle Agent 2 5. The Silent Age 6. Else Heart.Break() 7. The Sea Will Claim Everything 8. A New Beginning - Final Cut 9. The Shivah 10. Nicolas Eymerich - The Inquisitor - Book 1 : The Plague 11. Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes 12. Between Me and The Night 13. Namariel Legends: Iron Lord Premium Edition    Here's a zen koan for you: When is a hidden object game not a hidden object game? When it has no hidden object scenes, obviously. Minus those the game should become a point-and-click adventure, and yet there's something quintessentially HOGgy about what you're left with. Namariel Legends is just that, a hidden object game in design, scope, and style, just without the scenes that would qualify it as such. And the adventure you're left with is just as charming, if a little simplistic and illogical at times. The kingdom of Namariel was humming along just fine until the Iron Lord showed up with his legions of scrappy robots, blasting the castle into submission and dethroning its king. The only child of the royal family gets rather hilariously chucked out a window and saved by a passing dirigible, and then the game fast-forwards about 15 years to your Edward-Norton-looking uncle recounting the story to you, who DEFINITELY isn't the lost kid or anything. A chance encounter with the Iron Lord's tinpot soldiers starts you on a journey to save the whole kingdom from his cold, unfeeling grip. Mind you, this is going to play out with all the jank and circumstance of a hidden object game. You'll wander off to collect crystals and engineer a pulley system to get a bag out of a tree, and come back to your uncle being dragged away by robots. At one point, a big bad will blow up his own airship just to get rid of you. And you'll spend like an hour doing chores to eventually take down a giant Ferngully-style deforesting machine, only for the grease monkey child pilot to join up with you just because. Things will happen because they have to happen that way, and you'll go along with it because most of the game is just mindless clicking anyway. Every scene of Namariel Legends is from first-person, looking out over some expanse of cave or workshop or forest. They all have items laying about to nab and use in other nearby areas to get yet more items or, on rare occasions, help people out with some problem like being hungry or stung by bees. Parts of the scenes can be zoomed in on for closer looks, and your pointer icon helpfully changes to indicate whenever you can pick up or focus on something. The puzzles involving these items and environments are extremely simple and only require you to use single items to progress; there's no combining or interacting with items beyond that. This makes for an extremely thin puzzle aspect to the game, which doesn't pair well with the extremely thin story and virtually non-existent NPC interaction. There are some additional gimmicks like a mindscope that lets you read thoughts, necessary for a few puzzles involving animals, and a flying robot helper who you'll need to knock down ladders and shake loose fruits every few screens. Even with these though, there's not much more going on than just having to remember to use them. That just leaves the few actual puzzles, which at least tend to be more creative than the usual ones you get in hidden object games. There's an interesting keycard puzzle that requires moving links of a chain, recasting broken keys from start to finish, and some mazes with tricks to getting around them (though a few of these are a little longer than they should be). You'll be doing all of this in a fairly well-realized steampunk world that doesn't go bonkers with gears on top hats or anything like that. The scenes are clear and detailed, and you'll run into some creative machines and creatures as you roam the fanciful lands on the way to the embattled castle. This is hardly a groundbreaking or even challenging title, but it's not trying to be, either. Hidden object games exist to pass the time between more substantial activities, and taking the hidden object scenes out of one just makes it an equally casual point-and-click adventure. If you're looking for something with plenty of clicking through simple scene and puzzles, this will definitely get the job done.
