started playing The Messenger last week, just got past the part where the guys did the thing its writing is this weird mix of tedious irony and surprisingly insightful pithiness and i can't quite get a grip on it. platforming's top-notch, though!

horace might be the most outrageously self-indulgent video game i've ever played. it makes death stranding look as reserved and austere as a franciscan monk's wardrobe. it's like its developer learned how to start designing video games but never figured out how to stop

NikkolasKing posted:I can run FFXV. I made sure of that from videos on YT. I just don't have 100GB to spare with all my other games and stuff installed. videos tell you nothing. FFXV PC is one of the most unstable piles of junk i've played. i got it working eventually, after recalibrating my video settings, loving with my pagefile sizes, periodically checking for memory leaks, and sacrificing a goat every time i went into a dungeon crawl that would last more than an hour or so. running games off flash drives make them even less stable, so while you may theoretically be able to play it in the sense that it will occasionally display a game image on your monitor, it will be a miserable experience every step of the way

Fallom posted:The Messenger ended at the transition as far as I’m concerned the messenger's part was tiresome filler but still felt more satisfying than monster boy, maybe because the latter made you actually pay merchants to know if there were rooms or chests you'd missed and both the enemies and puzzles were bafflingly difficult for a game that encouraged backtracking horace was by far the worst, though, because its platforming is super meat boy-tier difficulty and then it opens up a giant-rear end map for you to get lost in without reducing that difficulty. rooms that are more buzzsaw than floor are not meant to be traversed multiple times!

everything about Horace can be summed up with an agonized "why?" why did you take up an entire chapter with a time-traveling adventure that ends with you fighting an ancient egyptian robot? why have shops and upgrade mechanics and then make them inaccessible for great whacks of the game? why the metroidvania? why make an another chapter consist of nothing but the difficult/annoying arcade game "homages" that were totally optional up to that point? why so many rhythm section challenges? why the sudden gradius-esque boss? why stealth sections? why escort missions? why escort missions with the stealth sections? yahtzee is rightfully maligned but he was bang on the money when he described this game as its developer's baby - it's this bloated tribute to every single thing that they ever enjoyed watching or playing, and it becomes totally exhausting as a result

Black Griffon posted:Anyone know what this is? All I know is that I want to punt the main character into a loving furnace because everything about him is abominable. The hat, the style and worst of all the loving poo poo rear end pixelated dreamworks smirk rear end expression. Disgusting. I'm angry now. I hate this game. Is it any good? horace is very sweet and charming and the main character himself is a delight, and also the game is horrible and you will hate yourself and the world for playing it it's this absolutely massive multi-genre platformer that's clearly been stuffed full of everything that the developer has ever liked or been inspired by, and the platforming itself is hard as nails. i gave up, as many other people did, when it shifted to a metroidvania format for a chapter - can you imagine if super meat boy was a metroidvania? well now you don't have to! e: Oxxidation posted:horace might be the most outrageously self-indulgent video game i've ever played. it makes death stranding look as reserved and austere as a franciscan monk's wardrobe. it's like its developer learned how to start designing video games but never figured out how to stop Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Jan 23, 2020 |

Griefor posted:That does sound kind of fun, actually. In a game focused on purely that and designed around it well. i'm sorry, now it's a rhythm game. now it's a gradius clone. driving minigame, anyone? now you're in ancient egypt and fighting a robot boss monster by grabbing the bombs it throws and tossing them into a hole on top of its head like it's a basketball hoop. now you're navigating through a legend of zelda dungeon in order to fight an angry Queen of Hearts. don't forget those stealth sections!

RBA Starblade posted:Guys I took Kentucky route 418 instead, how do I get back to route zero Drive down the 418 with the radio off until the hiss of pavement beneath your tires reminds you of that song your mother used to hum, in the days before the drinking got out of hand. Pull over to the side of the road and stare at your face in the rearview mirror until it becomes a stranger's. Say to it, "The last time is the last time," but in the voice of a man who knows he is damned to forever make a liar of himself. Then pull back onto the road (headlights on - it will be nightfall). Follow the sound of horses.

whoever wrote the dialogue for blasphemous was trying very hard for portentous loquaciousness and overshot the mark a little some of this syntax is so knotty that by the time i reach the end of a sentence i don't have enough breadcrumbs to get home

coming up on the end of Blasphemous I’m guessing the platforming improvements they patched in were a success, because the only two platforming segments that teed me off were very clearly designed to do so. Besides that it’s been a solid Metroidvania, though both the movement and the script are a little too ponderous

odd thing about Blasphemous is how blase everyone is about the atrocities of their world - you're never entirely clear on your goal, because no one in Cvstodia really seems to want the Miracle to be purged, instead accepting it as an inevitable consequence of everyday life apparently the nation was always that screwy, since one bit of flavor text mentions how an explorer meant to bring scripture to "uncivilized lands" was executed when he unwisely said that every land was civilized in comparison to Cvstodia

Gay Rat Wedding posted:enjoyed most of the game’s voice work myself, but her voice was distractingly terrible to an extreme degree & I hope the devs end up getting to add the spanish voices they talked about just for an opportunity to fix her. if she hadn't been trying so hard then it would have been way more bearable - just talk in a deathly laconic mumble like 90% of soulsborne characters, crank up the reverb, and voila instead i got my teeth kicked in half a dozen times by the catholic-guilt incarnation of Karen, Who Complains to the Manager

ymgve posted:You will never know if you made the right choices. Just like in real life. the only "bad choice" i can think of was more of a humorous "i don't know what i expected" sort of thing during act 4, you can choose to follow shannon and conway into a museum, which gives you a lengthy sequence where characters watching the tape footage drop some bombshells about the family conway was staying with before his alcoholism got out of hand. or, you can stay with the dogs on the boat, which gives you...a thirty-second slow pan of the dogs on the boat, followed by the narrator going "yup, those are dogs on a boat. they're pretty chill"

Quick question though: does that green bug thing talk at you through the entire game? I got to the part in the beginning where it says "I THINK I'M GOING TO STICK AROUND FOR THE RIDE, YOU CAN'T GET RID OF ME!!" and I was like ohhhhh noooooo You hear that, Ammy? He's asking if that green bug thing is going to talk at him through the entire game!
