Where's the new season of Picross on Switch, I'm starting to get the Picross Itch and I already played all the 3DS, Switch, and good iPad ones.

Oh hey I finished Prey despite it bugging out on me. Good game but I don't know if I'll ever feel like playing it again; completed basically everything on my first run through so there's not much else to be done but wander around a spaceship taking pretty pictures The twist was pretty obvious (probably because it was really blatantly choreographed in all the little flashback scenes super early on), but I liked it nonetheless. The achievement I unlocked said I managed to get the most empathetic ending, but it doesn't look like there could be much variance between them beyond the panel of robots judging you for not doing a sidequest. At least in Dishonored you got a slightly different final level depending on how much of a good guy you were, but in Dishonored 2 and now Prey, there's very little difference beyond a couple of different dialogue lines. I still think Death of the Outsider was the worst for this, where the chaos system is just nonexistent and you basically get to pick which of two video files you want to play before the credits. I like all these games, but the morality systems seem to be getting more and more shallow. uh anyway video games are good, mostly

death of the outsider is such an obvious course correction from dlc to standalone game because d2 flopped really disappointed in the reused levels, and new levels being linear enemy gauntlets

They graded me on a lot of stuff that I did without thinking much about it because I just felt it was the right choice and I never expected to actually be judged at the end.

It's honestly heartbreaking that the original masters of Riven were lost and we'll likely never get an HD rerelease unless it's built up from scratch.

I had a lot of fun playing Obduction in PSVR even though it was severely limited that way. Wandering around an imaginative wonderland is a great use of VR.

july games update: hollow knight is still owning. i got the monarch's wings, but feel like i've really gone through this game in a weird order. having a lot of fun dreamnailing everything for its response watched my partner play through farcry 5 and it looks.... better than i thought it would, to be honest? the music in particular seems to be really great. getting a silencer and massive scope on a machine gun seems to make a lot of situations very, very redundant

Aw gently caress I had forgotten about this  Game looks pretty good for being 20 years old TBH, but in HD (or even in full 3D  ) it would be something else.alf_pogs posted:hollow knight is still owning. i got the monarch's wings, but feel like i've really gone through this game in a weird order. having a lot of fun dreamnailing everything for its response Hollow Knight is the first Metroidvania I've played in a long time (maybe even ever) that feels like you can truly go through the game in any order. You're railroaded through the first two or three sections but after that you can really just follow your curiosity and be fine.

That's really the only complaint I have about it- the freeform structure means you might spend a lot of time wandering around gimped because a basic upgrade like that is in the one corner you didn't think to check.

Has Arkane ever had a game sell well on release? They do some good work but I think most people became enamored with Dishonored and Prey once they were already on deep discount.

Dishonored 2 launched with some technical issues but even so it wouldn't have sold well. The immersive sim genre was never popular (even the original Deus Ex was a cult hit) and nowadays the era of the semi-linear 15-20 hour 60 dollar game with no multiplayer/online is over.

The latest Prey DLC is some twitch-friendly roguelite (? someone can correct me on this) thing and the upcoming Wolfenstein stand alone DLC is based around online co-op.

good third party aaa titles are mostly dead and most big third party western publishers don't see making a greater number of cheaper games as an alternative worth bothering with despite it being something other corners of the market have found plenty of success doing so now we have the new beyond good & evil 2, a game distinguishing itself from the original beyond good & evil and the original scrapped bge2 by being nothing anyone who liked bge1 wanted from bge2 The Colonel fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Jul 2, 2018 |

I mean in principle steam was supposed to help with that, but well. Publishers largely not wanting to put out smaller games also sucks because a lot of genres really only fit in that category and can't really be turned into 60 hour multimillion dollar projects, but the publishers have a lot of talented developers who could make quality small or mid budget games. Not to say indie devs aren't doing their best to fill the gap, but professional teams and budgets do make a difference. Speaking mostly of western developers here since Japan at least has more of a mid tier presence. Basically what I'm saying is it sucks that no major companies are willing to make the types of games I like and have time for.

It's not ideal but AAA gaming being increasingly crammed with grubby garbage features just means more time for cool smaller games and visiting stuff I missed/old favorites, so it's hard to be too bummed on a personal level.
