Well, here comes the month when all the games I want are coming out. Between DQ Builders, World of FF, Civ 6, and 100 Foot Robot Golf, good lord I am going to spend too much on video games over the next couple months. That on top of a couple spooky Halloween themed games I'm planning ok getting.

I forgot about Mirror's Edge, I'll have to grab that on the cheap too. I didn't really mind the fighting segments in the first game either.

I thought "potato face" was a criticism of Elderscrolls specifically and that Bethesda's newest games were finally pulling out of it.

Lurdiak posted:Kids do care tho. This and also this. But yeah, kids who are unaware of the diversity argument at a higher level just grow up with a Star Wars movie where the main characters were a white lady and black dude and that's probably healthy for their world view and will lead to fewer weird nerds getting angry that some video game made by an international dev team had a Hispanic lady MC. RLM can suck it. Their Phantom Menace criticism was the only thing they made worth a drat.

Oh I discovered a neat thing while getting into Rayman Legends again - pressing the X button was starting to actually hurt my finer so I used the PS4's accessibility settings to swap it to R1 and it's making the game a lot more enjoyable.

Before the games got big, Zelda was an old-fashioned Jewish or east European name. I think it still could work.

oddium posted:as someone who's played her fair share of nuclear throne and is very good at it, gungeon is slow and methodical to me. i never feel like i'm going to die in the next five seconds if i can't read the situation and make a plan extremely quickly like when i spawn in 5-1+ L1 and three rad dogs are staring me down. gungeon just isn't about how well the player can do. also i hate the designs and the weapons I agree with that. Nuclear Throne is good but Gungeon is too slow for its own good. On the other hand, I really liked Rogue Legacy. Not as much as other roguelitelikelifes like Nuclear Throne or FTL but Ghosts and Goblins with family trees and randomly generated maps and puzzles was fun. It was on the easier side but that isn't necessarily a knock against it.

Like graphical upgrades are supposed to be because of better hardware but in pixel games these days it's arbitrary as hell and just a choice so the upgrade to give an illusion of progress and just not being a complete rehash seems so silly and almost cynical to me. I always harp on this but higher res means more time spent on art/sprite work/animation which means it costs more money so for the developers, it's not an arbitrary upgrade. That's why there's low res and pixel art. It's cheap to make. bloodychill fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Oct 4, 2016 |

If I had notch money, I'd end every sentence in any deal or retail situation with "rest assured money is no object" leading toMacaluso posted:The Doritos Locos taco doesn't taste like anything but a normal hard shell taco, which isn't a problem but it is more expensive so it ends up feeling like a pointless addition to the menu but I appreciate your pun anyway, friend When money is no object, you can Doritos Locos everything. And I would. I actually feel kinda bad because the last time this came up, I said I'd "do all of the drugs and gently caress all the hookers and when woken from the year-long haze, I'd build a studio to make my own vanity game project that is everything I want it to be" and it appears notch is maybe halfway there.

StrixNebulosa posted:Nope! It's a tower defense game - one of the best ones on Steam, just behind Immortal Defense. You set up traps and try to funnel heroes into your whirling sawblades of death. The tower defense I've played most is the Kingdom Rush series on iPad which I thought were very fun if not as free form as the old ones I played as SC and WC3 custom maps. Is this one comparable in the sense that there is a progression and different maps or challenges?

chumbler posted:I am getting to be the same way. I have a huge pile of games that I keep stupidly buying because they look interesting, but just can't drum up the will to play them after getting home from work late and making dinner because they're all a big time and often energy investment. I end up just playing a game or two of hearthstone or something and then doing nothing the rest of the night. One thing I did that helped with this is not buying so many games and, if I did get a game that I was not interested in, just dropping it and not committing to completing it. Rather than committing to some stupid backlog, I focus on games that I enjoy. If I'm not enjoying a game, there's no point in trudging through. When I was younger sure, but now I don't have time for that because of the whole work/life balance.

I played two separate DnD 4e campaigns with different groups. Had a lot of fun with the first one but moved away. Second one went for 6 months once a week and ended when one guy made some racist comments during a session and pissed off the DM's wife and then it came out that everyone secretly hated the racist guy but never brought it up. He was incredibly unfun to play with. I played a Star Wars campaign with some of the same people and it was fun until one of the people involved got overly obsessed with their character and started writing fan fiction about the game and sharing it on occasion at sessions and it was very awkward to me and I had to stop playing with them. Tabletop people can be weird.

Tuesday game releases annoy me when something is coming out soon that I want to play. DQ Builders is out on Tuesday. It's the weekend for me now. I want to be playing it now. But I have to wait until Tuesday and will be super busy with work stuff next week and won't really get to play until Friday. Why not just release it when I'm ready to play, is what I'm saying.

 StripNebulosa's suggestion has been making the wait for DQB bearable though. Pretty fun, although the game will occasionally throw a bunch of BS on the last wave and I am always tempted to use too many runes on each map.

CJacobs posted:I knew you'd eventually have a good opinion. Always have faith in the games, friend. On the topic of escapism, I think most games have that risk. There's a simplicity to them, a focus that makes outside problems fade away and it can really activate that dopamine circuit. It's not a bad thing on its own but it can become bad if you don't keep it in perspective. I used to have extremely strong feelings about MMORPG's in that I felt that they distilled the most addictive aspects of pure game escapism but I've since softened a bit on that since I realized that for some people who have problems with being social because of personality issues or being on the spectrum, it can allow them to be social in a controlled environment that they feel comfortable with. I had to swear them off myself though because they just seem to suck the life out of me and turn me into a depressed husk, though. Games with a definitive beginning and end work best for me. Even sandbox games like Sim City/Cities XL or Rimworld still have a progression to each game that makes them easier on me in this way. Grand strategy games can be addictive but they too have endings I can shoot for and the turn-based nature, while addictive in that "one more turn" sense, can be put down to go attend to other parts of my life when I need to. Anyway, too many serious words about vidya. bloodychill fucked around with this message at 09:46 on Oct 8, 2016 |

Finished all the Rayman Legends stuff that isn't Origins and annoyed about the Origins stuff. On one hand, it's neat that they put the whole game in Legends, but on the other hand, it's annoying to link it to game unlocks. I can't collect all the silly creatures without replaying all of Origins, which I've already plat'ed.

Phantasium posted:smh if you don't call them all Nintendo like your gramma does. The kids and their Nintardos I always said Nintendo and Super Nintendo, though occasionally NES and SNES. I never heard "sness" and "nez" until talking with Brit goons last year. Meanwhile, Sega was always "the Sega" until the Dreamcast came out.

It's fantastically ambient and lonely and hard, and it's not..feel-good, but I wanted to mention it because it's the only game I've ever seen that rewards you with poetry. I wish more games did, honestly. This sounds really neat. Putting it on my wishlist.

precision posted:Mechanically it's like comparing San Andreas to GTA3 - it's basically the same, but more and streamlined. I wasn't nearly as hot on the first one as some people, but Second fixes literally every problem I had with the first and even some I didn't notice until they'd been fixed. I preferred the story and writing in the first game though that is entirely subjective. The second one definitely more cute and silly to the first one's usually dark tone.
