Did you hear, guys? Shadow Complex is responsible for "Metroidvania!" http://www.polygon.com/2016/3/16/11249734/shadow-complex-remastered-now-available-on-xbox-onequote:Shadow Complex is perhaps best known as the game that took "Metroidvania" from ghoulish portmanteau to actual genre. If you missed it the first time around (and when it was remastered for PC last year), it's now available on Xbox One for $14.99. Thanks Justin! I'll be sure to update the Wikipedia to let them know that you've made this incredible decision regarding the legitimization of a dumbfuck word that makes me poo poo on command.

It's a mediocre game and a mediocre "Metroidvania." Also, written or at least co-written by Orson Scott Card, who is a terrific human being.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:I thought that was Symphony of the Night. I need to play it again, see if it's still any good. A lotta games from my childhood haven't been holding up. I'm assuming Justin is 12 years old and thus Shadow Complex was introduced to him at a pivotal moment in his life.

If you insist that Metroidvania is an actual game genre then you also probably think vaporwave is an actual music genre.

Looking forward to stuffing my nuts into the eyes of dipshits who honestly believed that VR would ever be a thing, or viable, or even good beyond the first 30 seconds of novelty. What's the ratio of "Kinect enthusiast" to "VR proselytizer?"

Sleeveless posted:VR is one of those things that's really cool if money, resources, and time isn't an issue so it's limited almost entirely to wealthy tech spergs that can't relate to normal people, much like the Kinect or libertarianism. Kinect is/was attainable by the common man. Kinect demanded real estate, and the camera itself wasn't all that expensive. That said, if you lived in a shoebox like I loving did when it came out, it was perfectly loving useless and unfun. VR costs too loving much AND wants you to clear out your loving livingroom so you can pretend you are a mighty warrior walking from left foot to right foot. All that's a step too far.

PantsBandit posted:I don't normally get like this about games but I was totally obsessed with getting every level in Ignition perfect. It felt really loving good watching the replays afterward. This is normal behavior. This does not necessarily make you a "gamer." You can still go out during the night and enter a "bar" and pick up a girl. You can tell her what you did; she will be sufficiently impressed and decide you are a sufficient specimen what to fill her vessel with Good Seed.

Setting is late 60s New Orleans and you play a black guy back from Viet Nam trying to get he own empire going and Vito's back. Game has a hell of a premise if nothing else. Mafia 2 wasn't an outstanding game especially in comparison to GTA, but the story and characterization were top shelf.

Also lmao at the multitudes of pissbabies crying about nerds getting Japanese copies of Dark Souls 3 three weeks ahead of US launch. Everyone's like YOU'RE VIOLATING YOUR TERMS OF SERVICE and THEY GONNA BAN UR ACCOUNT and like three people with a loving brain are all uhhhh that's loving stupid we're actually paying for the loving thing and it's a region-free console what's your deal and what it comes down to is a bunch of loving dipshit teens angry they can't get Mom's credit card to exploit the workaround so they have to watch their internet friends PREPARE TO DIE without them. I tried the workaround but, at least on Xbone, MS has plugged the workaround which is fine; they just made the original Dark Souls backwards compatible on the Bone and I never finished it on 360 (did it on PC) so hell what better way to prep for DS3.

Wait I remember why I didn't finish Dark Souls on the 360 it's because the bell gargoyles are loving bullshit and you can't summon help there because of a bug they never fixed.

I am not even good at Dark Souls and I can lol at you over this I have Lautrec's medal and I've of course talked to Solaire, but neither of their summons appear, nor do other players'. This wiki acknowledges the issue. Incidentally, they are there for me in the PC version.

No Man's Sky is going to loving crater as hard as Spore if not harder. Also, has anyone played Stranger of Sword City? It's the dumbest loving name and it's anime as the dickens AND YET it appears to be as close as I'm going to get to a sequel to Wizardry Tale of the Forsaken Land.

Lurdiak posted:I'm not bragging, I seriously doubt someone else will come knocking. Sorry that's just my naked jealousy of someone working in an industry I wish I could even get a foothold in myself. --- Playing the Stranger of Sword City trial and, I'm not loving lying - the premise is that you were on the Malaysaia Airlines crash of last year and you awaken in a FANTASY DUNGEON and it's up to you to... escape the dungeon, or whatever. I'm not loving kidding the goddamn opening video shows a KNIGHT glowering over a TV spitting news about a NORTH ASIAN AIRLINE that CRASHED over the PACIFIC OCEAN on it's WAY to ANCHORAGE ALASKA. So I guess you're playing as the risen spirit of a level 100 weeaboo. loving stupid setup! Let's see if the gameplay overcomes the setting.

Stranger of Sword City is the Xbone game of the year. I have (re)embraced the anime, and am now eyeball deep in Wizardry-style stat noodling and class fuckery and drat it feels good to grind again. Boner owners, give it a shot. The trial's 8 loving hours long; it's enough time to find out if this is your poo poo. axleblaze posted:Like with Cavia games, The Witness only really feels that way if you're a completionist, but the game gives you even less reason to do that and if the game is driving you nuts, there is no reason to keep playing other than making an arbitrary number go up. Also if you give up then you're admitting that John Blow is smarter than you, and that everyone else who finished the game is smarter than you, and your one true love in the world gets an email showing an incredibly unflattering photo of you with the caption DO NOT MATE WITH THIS DIPSHIT in flashing letters. But it's totally cool to not finish the Witness. It's fine. It's okay. It just means you're a complete loving moron. cram me sideways fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Mar 27, 2016 |
