So - Mafia II. Not a fun driving simulator (real wheel drive cars on icy roads in a big city, who thought this was a good idea), chapters seem very short, I'm not sure if there is any open world stuff (I guess stealing cars?), and I feel bad because I was playing a thug before who beat up people for lunch money who just escalated to cop killer. Also gently caress you to the mandatory stealth mission. Does the ending suck as bad as people say?

gently caress that "kill Derek in the warehouse" mission in Mafia 2. Who thought having molotovs without decent cover and a checkpoint from five minutes earlier was good level design?

Quest For Glory II posted:I wonder if this is the fastest a Square Enix game has been reduced so dramatically (M:SS was released in June!!!), and also why anyone buys a Square Enix game at launch is beyond me. $15 for Murdered Soul Suspect seems like the price it should have been at launch in the first place. But that sucks for anyone who paid $50 6-7 weeks ago. The developer (Airtight) is out of business; I'm not sure how royalties work now, but they may be trying to sell it as cheap as possible for that very reason (patches, what patches.)

Yodzilla posted:Oh poo poo Airtight closed its doors? I guess making an Ouya exclusive didn't work out so well for them. Happened earlier this month. I wouldn't blame just the Ouya exclusive "Soul Fjord" (though it didn't help), rumors are that they had layoffs earlier this year, and Murdered was their last hope for staying afloat. The Metacritic score was 60 so welp.

I just finished Resonance and it was pretty good, with some neat mechanics like being able to play as different characters and use that to solve puzzles in different ways, though (ending spoiler) the whole truther thing was kind of out there even if the plot tied to one of the prologue missions that you forgot about by that point. Also Rucks as a detective, especially with his opening monologue  What else should I be looking at for interesting adventure games? Already done Primordia, I hear Gemini Rue is good?

TastyLemonDrops posted:The Wolf Among Us has a huge flaw, and it becomes very readily apparent after the first couple episodes: Your choices don't actually matter. It's still a beautiful game and tells an otherwise good story. The first episode of TWAU is really bad to judge the game by because it is the best episode. The ending was terrible. DoctorOfLawls posted:I did some digging as I am interested in this too, and found this at http://eu.square-enix.com/en/blog/pre-order-sleeping-dogs-definitive-edition-now From watching the YouTube ad, it includes all the story DLC (so the '70s kung fu one, but also Nightmare in North Point with jiangshi/hopping zombie vampires, and Year of the Snake which has lots of cop fun.) The cop one has a funny side mission with pork bun guy.

Rookersh posted:The reasoning given by Bioware when a few fans got angry at them during an AMA was that it wasn't their call in the end. LucasArts demanded she be killed/KotOR2 be wiped from canon as best possible when they went forward with SWTOR. If that is true, that doesn't seem like the best possible way.

KOTOR 2 wasn't all that good - it's got two opening dungeons to get through to start exploring, many of the characters don't have the interesting dialogue from the LP unless you suck up to them, some of the cut content is just awful (the HK factory mission takes forever and is poorly placed right when you're going to go after the main antagonist) - don't get me wrong, there's some good stuff with the unreliable squadmate in Kreia but there's also a lot of not good stuff.

Flopstick posted:How's Contrast? The description makes it sound a bit unusual and interesting, but the reviews of the console versions make it sound as though it's not actually fun to play. That's all accurate. Unusual, interesting, and sometimes not all that fun to play. Mostly the cons are: - platforming isn't as well optimized as it could be. Easy to die though the game handles this well (usually.) - main character acts like she doesn't weigh anything. - save states only at the beginning of longer puzzle segments. - last act is clearly rushed and most of the explanation of "why things are the way they are" relies on looking at the collectibles Pros are: - you get to move shadows around to jump on, and occasionally see projected shadows of people and move on those - a very fun bit at the circus (I think the puppet play was the best part even if it borrowed a bit too much from Limbo) - scratches that itch if you like platformers with a twist (Portal and such), even if it never quite rises to the quality of those - very neat looking environment, though it is completely desolate of people except for your girl companion and shadows It's also about ~3 hours long if that matters.

CheeseThief posted:So I saw the Home Interactive publisher sale for this weekend, in particular the bundle for the Spider Studio RPGs caught my eye. Anyone want to weigh in on the quality of these games? Mars: War Logs is a poor man's cross between Mass Effect and The Witcher 1. Very janky, voice acting is poo poo even with the new voice acting, fighting is poo poo, fetch quests galore, stealth is a joke, you get lost on Mars because it all looks brown. Hopefully Telltale hired Spiders to do the Borderlands game

I know cries of heresy will be made when I say this, but I'm really enjoying The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. Every once in a while I hear friends talk about how they're looking for a Mass Effect-style game, and this (2/3rds of the way in) is scratching that itch.

srulz posted:I go in expecting "mindless robot-shooting fun", and I wasn't disappointed. Robots are not bullet sponges (except bosses), the impact feels good, and they got destroyed piece by piece. If you headshot them, they'll turn into temporary allies, shooting other robots and vice versa. If you shoot their gun hand off, they'll run to you to bonk you in the head. Same if you shoot off their legs, they crawl to you. Also, later on you'll meet the ninjas. These guys are good, and ridiculously fun to fight. The boss fights are also really well done - especially the Spider which reacts as you shoot off its legs, eventually trying to balancing itself on whatever is left.
