I was surprised to see that not only does this game still exist in some playable form, but it had a terrible Steam release earlier this year! loving Slime Volleyball. I remember the smug face a slime got when it was match point.

Pablo Nergigante posted:iRacing? Probably, though there aren't a ton of don't-give-a-poo poo players in iRacing because it's a subscription service (in part to discourage people who don't give a poo poo from registering, kinda like the tenbux barrier here). I set my dad up with an account a couple years ago and we occasionally participate in the same race  . It's worth checking out if you're sick of people in other games ramming you off a corner in a manner that would probably result in a DQ in real life. That said, there's no shortage of people who suck getting mad at other people for something that you could easily blame both parties for, especially in the rookie series. The voice chat rage can be entertaining. Shine fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Dec 30, 2018 |

Mr. Dick posted:Xbox 360 Not what you're thinking of, but there's a great VR game, Carly & the Reaperman, in which one player (sitting at the monitor) plays a 3d platformer, and is assisted by the VR player, who is a giant ghostly being who moves blocks and poo poo around to make paths, and points out things that the screen player can't see. It's great to play with family.

X-COM: UFO Defense uses a music track that I swear I've heard in other games as a sound effect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uJUMWxK5vM&t=596s (should start at 9:56) The "wavy" bit that plays for like 8 seconds was definitely a sound effect in another game. I vaguely place it as playing after you make a menu selection of some sort, like if you select to fabricate or upgrade something. But I can't place it for the life of me. Does anybody know what game used this bit as a sound effect? Edit: Oh wait, I'm 99% sure it's in one of the new XCOM games. That would make sense. Never mind Edit 2: Yeah, it plays when you check the Psi Lab results in XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Shine fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Jan 5, 2020 |

Hunter/Hunted loving ruled and I still have the dumbass soundtrack on my computer. But holy poo poo the "YOU'RE LOOKING AT MY SCREEN" "NO I'M NOT" arguments with my brother were the loving worst. Co-op was a blast, though. Also, they changed how the pistol works between the demo and the full release, which made me super mad.

Speaking of spiders, we had a game on our Atari 800 where you were, IIRC, a hunter (gun? bow? I don't remember) in the woods or something, and spider-like monsters would run at you, and it was really awkward to try to shoot them. Your character stood toward the bottom of the screen, and the monsters would run "down" toward you, and you'd shoot "up" toward them. It wasn't an overhead view; more like over-the-shoulder except zoomed way out. I didn't play it much because it scared me (I was like 5) so I don't remember what the progression would have looked like or how you'd move your character around. The monsters may not have been giant spiders, but my 30-years-removed memory sees them that way. Any ideas?

Now I'm thinking back to Sierra adventures that could be made unwinnable in the first 15 minutes, and you won't know you did that unless you buy a hint book. It's a good thing those games (especially Space Quest 3) were so charming, because they were BULLSHIT.

I'll mention Blade & Sorcery as another game along the lines of Dark Messiah, except in VR. My favorite part of Dark Messiah was the most powerful weapon being a wicker basket. Set one ablaze, and you could hold it without taking damage, and torch enemies by simply walking into them. I'm pretty sure it acted as a shield, too. I don't know if the indestructible hell basket was a design oversight or something they did intentionally for laughs, but it owned either way.
