The demo really clicked for me and I kept thinking about it over the weekend. The recent Deus Ex game left me wanting and I haven't played Dishonored 2 yet, but I'll take sci-fi over fantasy if I have to choose. I liked walking into a room and being rewarded for slowly examining the space instead of rushing through. Seeing two buckets next to a wet floor sign let me plan an attack in a way that's similar but very different to finding an enemy with his back to you. I also like that it eschews an xp system so there's no incentive to restrict yourself to half the tools available; DE always gives more xp for ghosting an area or for non-lethal takedowns, which meant that your loud and deadly moveset was a hindrance. In the Prey demo, exploration leds to items with tangible benefits, and even at the low end of the benefit spectrum is the ability to convert things into materials for fabricating ammo or medkits. My gripes are that I had to leave some locked safes and rooms unexplored because I couldn't find a way to open them, and that there aren't enough shortcut options for the controller (only three to cover melee, utility, ranged, and psi abilities). I know the rule about never preordering games, but I'm a sucker for that Amazon discount and I love System Shock.

Monkey Fracas posted:I would appreciate a videogame based on the music video of holy diver where RJD wanders around the ruins of an old church with a sword or whatever. That Sega CD Make My Video game but it's Holy Diver. "yeah I'll put the shot of the dude in the red robes with the weird animated lizard eyes right after the dude turning into rats; hell yeah" You joke and while this was never official and it was released only in Japan, there was a game with lots of heavy metal/Dio references: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Diver_(video_game)

Harrow posted:Anyone remember the weird pseudo-roguelike mode in Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring? I bought that game because it was a fighting game with FF characters but played the hell out of the weird tower dungeon crawl mode that I didn't expect to be there.  Anyone play the precursor to that mode in the Tobal series? I feel like I'm the only one who knows those games existed.

Joe Gillian posted:The PS2 game has a very satisfying dismemberment mechanic, as well as actually fun boss battles. If you can find a way to play it, I recommend it. It has a fan (albeit rough) translation. I tried playing that fan translation on PCX2 but some graphic elements wouldn't show when using the GPU so the only option was to use software mode and that made the game run slower. This was a few years ago, however.

Mordja posted:I'll say this much; Doom's demo isn't great outside of setting the ridiculous tone. It's too short, linear, and doesn't give you the options that make the game great. It's fine as an introduction to the full campaign, and the following level really gets going, but it's not the best showpiece. Ok, fair enough.

Nasgate posted:For some clarification: Im not saying its the best fps ever, just one that hit my personal fancies all together at the right time. Syndicate FPS did ooze alot of cyberpunk style and it stands out to me because of that. I wish they could have went with a less clichéd story but eh I'll take something rather than nothing. I never got to play the multiplayer because it was dead by the time I got around to it. Looked really cool because you were basically running old style Syndicate missions except you were the agent rather than the mission overseer. And if you don't enjoy FPS's much than DOOM won't change your mind.

Bicyclops posted:Here's an overdisclosure post: my wife is extremely sick, like she has a chronic illness, but it's gotten really bad in the past two months, bad enough that if the latest treatment doesn't work, it might mean life-altering surgery or worse. She has to sleep a lot lately, and I've been reading and watching TV, but now that I have the stupid Playstation camera, it feels a little like I can play video games games and also be a little social, while still staying in our place if she needs me for anything. Once I have some time to sit, I am looking forward to playing some video games and having a handful of my Facebook friend who I don't have time to see watching it with me. Anyway, Iwata bless video games. Thanks for listening. Dang. Well if you need a pick me up you can watch various goons call each other names in defence of their favorite games.
