Assassins Creed: Origins Worth full price/day one purchase/preorder if only for the fact that they finally let you skip through the logos/epilepsy warning/this-game-was-made-by-lots-of-diverse-people splash screens.

Have fun with your Ubisoft DRM cooking your CPUquote:In a statement to Ars Technica, a Ubisoft spokesperson said bluntly that "the anti-tamper solutions implemented in the Windows PC version of Assassin’s Creed Origins have no perceptible effect on game performance." The spokesperson added that the game "uses the full extent of the minimum and recommended PC system requirements... while ensuring a steady 30fps performance." I seriously want to play but lol.

I don't play many roguelikes, but I really dig Risk of Rain and probably have 200+ hours into it, it was my go-to decompress and listen to podcast game for a while. I'm really happy they're making a sequel that looks like it shares the graphical stylings of Mega Man Legends. Risk of Rain also has incredibly dope music.

FactsAreUseless posted:RoR is interesting but I feel like I've never fully understood it. I will be the first to admit that RoR is incredibly amateurish and it's obvious it's the devs "first" game. I think one of them was still a teenager when it released. I wouldn't put it past someone for bouncing right off of it. That being said, some of the characters are dogshit. I've always liked doing Chef runs. I guess I just like they roguelike feeling of being an hour into a run, where you've grown in power exponentially, but one small mistake and the horde will cut you down. Puts me into that zen state

Does Risk of Rain still require you to do a run in the one sitting? That was horseshit even for a rogue-like.

They made a game called Deadbolt http://store.steampowered.com/app/394970/DEADBOLT/ It's Hotline Miami crossed with... eh... Gunpoint Lite. It also has a kicking soundtrack and sound design. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unvHuLsbXIU

Quite late to the party but I finally got around to buying Steven Universe: Attack the Light because I wanted to play that one before the PS4 game to not miss any references to it's plot. It's pretty fun so far, just got to world 2: The Strawberry Battlefields. I like that because the gems are much more powerful than Steven they are level 9001, and they don't have health but confidence - Steven "heals" them by cheering them on like in Coach Steven  Their level ups also are based on harmony - how well they work as a team. It's very strong thematic stuff that's really cute.

Binding of Isaac is the only roguelite that's really grabbed me because two of the things that interest and motivate me most in games is having a huge verb set and having goals to work towards in-game and BoI has more of those than almost any other game out there. Nuclear Throne might have better balance and twitch gameplay but after you unlock the first few characters progression slows to a crawl and the pool of weapons is just a few unchanging variations on the stock machinegun/shotgun/melee/etc weapons and the only real goal is to get to the end of the game and beat the throne. In Isaac you get radically different movesets and abilities from almost every other item and even if I get a bad run there's still a decent chance I'll see something I'd never seen before or I'll unlock something based on the character I'm playing as and even if I get frustrated with the main game I can pop open any of the radically different challenge modes and play what feels like a completely different game.

muscles like this! posted:I like the Perk upgrade system in Wolfenstein 2. Basically you get upgrades in things by playing the game a certain way, shoot a bunch of guys with dual wielded guns? Get bigger magazines. Sneak around and kill guys stealthily? Move faster while crouched. I can't speak for how TNC does it but I disliked it in TNO because some of requirements wanted you to do either downright awkward things (get stealth kills while overhealed, a number of the grenade ones wanted ideal conditions) or didn't intuitively match the perk they unlocked (pretty much all of the magazine upgrades), so I ended up consciously thinking about them too often instead of just running around and playing the game.

I wasn't going to say anything. I thought it was my imagination. For the first 200+ Moons of Super Mario Odyssey I thought, "Huh, this whole mechanic where you constantly need to spin the camera to see secrets reminds me of playing Demon/Dark Souls for the first time" And they drop you in a ruined castle with a circular arena for a brief Souls dragon fight What the gently caress is this game. I love it.

The Saboteur had a nice wrinkle on that. Normal 'do $thing to unlock $perk', but you could pay you ingame currency to unlock one perk per category without doing the thing. Whatever task you consider to be the most bullshit, you can skip that one.

I liked that Nier: Automata took that to the logical conclusion, where you could use your extra money to buy achievements. It's nice if you care about that sort of thing since several of the achievements are the super-poopsocky 100% completion variety. gently caress grinding.

I by and large loved the way you unlocked benefits in Saints Row 2 (and hated how it was done in 3), but having an out with that one minigame or activity that's giving me a hard time would have been nice. I think there was a damage resist buff that required beating a helicopter challenge and it drove me nuts for a while.

It's funny because playing on PC/KB+M Heli Assault is easy to the point of being dreadfully boring, but boy do the driving-focused activities (Snatch and the highest levels of Escort) piss me right the hell off.

I think there was a damage resist buff that required beating a helicopter challenge and it drove me nuts for a while. Yeah, on one hand I enjoyed how SR2s progression was so janky and unbalanced compared to the linear progression of 3 and 4 but on the other hand grinding out 6 levels of an activity and getting a discount on hamburgers as a reward was annoying enough to negate the thrill of unexpectedly getting unlimited ammo for a gun or whatever. Really giving you multiple paths to earn an unlock is the best way across the board. Even Smash Bros was letting you unlock trophies with both single player and multiplayer as far back as Melee.
