Lurdiak posted:Those no longer really exist, Gamestop crushed them in the late 90s/early 2000s with its ridiculous resale prices and larger selection. We have a handful here in Austin. In small towns, I'd guess to be very rare or impossible to find an independent game store though.

So I'm playing D44m for the first time and it's really good and fun and I see why people love it. Like my only criticism is that it could use a better damage indicator, but that's pretty small.

Rexroom posted:https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20753235853?page=3#post-58 The xim/controller split is real and it kinda sucks. Most of the CoD goons I play with use the xim and they wreck. I occasionally top leaderboards but it's rare. Though I guess tbf, stux is a top tier cod goon and uses a gamepad.

I doubt anyone who reads this thread wouldn't already know about it but Pillars of Eternity 2 was announced formally and has a kick starter on fig here that is already at about 190% of the funding goal. Pretty neat for CRPG fans.

Harrow posted:To use the Overwatch example, imagine a version of Overwatch where: This is a good way to put it. Loot crates in OW are dumb (the duplicates in particular) but gacha is a step worse. The thing that got outlawed in Japan by the way was "multi gacha" in which you didn't even get things from loot crates, you got parts of things. Think like the McDonalds monopole game where each monopole has one property with a very rare rate except the entire business is based on it and marketed to children.

Bicyclops posted:It's not so bad. There are levels at the end of World 5, the middle of World 6, and all of World 7 that make anybody want to scream, but you have infinite continues and they offer a lot of shortcuts via warp pipes for the levels that come back when you game over. (Also the World 8 Fortress is definitely hard, but a warp run isn't going to save you from that.) I beat it back at release doing warps and using a P wing to get through that endless tank level in world 8. One of these days maybe I'll give a full run a try.

I like it in concept even if it's not my thing because I like the idea of people just having fun writing about games and dumb stories about games. It reminds me of all the silly poo poo I read in the letters section of Nintendo Power. Fans just having fun.

CJacobs posted:He asked why I don't like Austin Walker, what do you mean "who cares" It was not. If people are writing about video games in a way that satisfies their intellectual curiosity and other people enjoy it, power to them. I'm not going to trash someone because they think about stories or characters a certain way. I like that people think about that just like I like that people really think about game design and pacing and other people really think about the art that goes into games and still others are really into the programming challenges. A ton of work goes into games so when fans really get into it and think about aspects of it, it's good in my opinion.

Greenlight would have worked better if people were voting but there was too much volume and energy for voting sputtered. If Valve doesn't want to hire people to curate and remains committed to getting that work done for free, placing some fee to publish (pref <= 250 USD) is not a lot to publish a game but also keeps out a fair amount of garbo so that it remains manageable.

Lurdiak posted:5k is like, the profit margin for a lot of indie devs starting out. It sounds like a pretty lovely system. I really doubt it would be 5k since that would present too much of a barrier of entry to small devs. Greenlight needs to be replaced with something and this system with a small fee sounds reasonable.
