okay now that this thread is legal heres my list of steam sale recs. and i'm not even going to bother telling you what they're about because they're all less than $5 (okay a couple of them are $6 sorry) gently caress you buy them, you should have them already

One Way Heroics (you should probably get the plus DLC also, don't buy the remake),

I'm technically responding to a comment from the last thread, but Caligula Effect's switch port added a bunch of new content psp persona1 style in that it introduced an entirely new route where you side with the bad guys early into the story and they become your party instead of the normal route's party and it's apparently a completely different route tonally and thematically, which is cool and i wish more jrpgs did poo poo like this.

also they announced a second, completely standalone game a couple months ago, though god knows if we're gonna be getting it localized

Finished up Code Vein, here's my review: don't play it.

ShallNoiseUpon posted:

I think "okay" is perfectly descriptive of it. I thought the overall design was pretty boring, every single trash area was just hallways and 1-2 guys at a time if you didn't sprint through places. It did, however, have a fairly interesting idea for mapping in a Souls-inspired game. I like that it gives you where you've been but not an actual detailed map until you're basically through an area and then it will give you the detailed map so you can see if you missed anything. A lot of the bosses seemed fairly uninspired as well, again "okay" is probably where'd I put it on a scale, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone without reservations.

Prototype is mediocre at best, trash at worst, but the plot twist at the end is amazing. You're not playing as the lovely human being, you're playing as the virus who ate him and he was so lovely he infected you with his shittiness

The Apple Pie flavor Kit Kats they had a while back were pretty good. Glad we're finally getting weird flavors of Kit Kats like Japan.

Do you not consider the name a major issue

Edit: for some reason I was convinced the number 4 was actually in the title of Thi4f but apparently it's not. The world got a little less whimsical today.

Did you adjust any difficulty modifiers? Also what class were you playing as? You were playing Citadel, right? What bosses did you fight on your run?

I like Synthetik a lot, but not because I think it's impressive. I like it because it serves as an homage to all my favorite shooting games released in the past 20 years, because the aesthetik really speaks to me, and because it scratches an itch for gambling I didn't know I had until I got into the game. Legend has it that the game started out as a simulator for bolt-action rifles and was developed in Game Maker. Synthetik is one of my favorite games ever and probably the only game I have put 150+ hours into since like Team Fortress 2 10 years ago.

I find Synthetik charming because of things like: the 'Annihiliator ANH-5' rifle fires 'ANH-Apocalyptic Rounds'. The game operates on a tier of absurdity I haven't seen in a video game before. Definitely not trying to convince you your opinion is bad but I'm interested in hearing more about it!

This is probably a really stupid question but is persona 5 strikers the kind of game that can be enjoyed by someone who hasn't played persona 5 and isn't familiar with its plot or characters or is it basically something that relies heavily on playing and enjoying persona 5 to get anything out of it?

There's a "Christian anime game" on the Playstation store called "Our Church and Halloween" for one dollar. It looks literally like a game boy game, monochrome low detail sprites.

I have to stress again: it self identifies as a "Christian anime game"

Should I play it y/n

Did Star Fox Assault have multiple routes or was it completely linear

stev posted:

I still think Star Fox Assault was unfairly dismissed. If it weren't for the ground missions it'd be a pretty good sequel.

Really I just want a Star Fox game with more than a couple of hours of content (no not that one).

Some really good artists I follow keep being like "check out out, my first (OF MANY) nft pieces! Bidding starts here, click the link" and it's like maaan STOP. Also Sakimichan, if people are familiar with her, did just that. She makes like 6 figures from her patreon drawing porn, why would she need NFTs

FirstAidKite posted:

Also that another ending was just Krystal just noping out of the franchise.

Assault seemed like a decent game but the wing missions looked boring.

Relax or DIE's gaming update:
Omori:I like this one a lot too but my criticisms of it so far(I finished the castle are and saved just as it hit 'two days left') basically line straight up with those I have of Jimmy and TPM. a lot to love but the combat is, in general, a big slog. the game would benefit from just being a bit faster all around imo. for jimmy and probably from what I have seem also for omori you could make a thematic argument for these systems being kind of slow/grindy but 'boring on purpose' is one of those things you really cannot afford to miss at and I'm not sure omori is gonna land it. jimmy let you bump the game to easy to have fewer random battles that awarded more exp, omori would benefit from a similar choice imho.

wuggles posted:

Aren’t most women bra-less at home, because (I’m led to understand) bras are torture prisons?

Kinky Cookie Bunny posted:

No that's bullshit, it's more comfortable to go without the bra. It is so much less strain on your back and it doesn't hurt, I go without because bras are uncomfortable and underwire can dig into me and it pinches and it's a cumbersome nuisance. Bras help for things like when a busty person exercises and doesn't have to worry about hurting themselves with their boobs but not just casually at home, bras in general just kinda loving suck to wear.

Dear Games chat thread,

I have an ethical question: I "won" a raffle to buy a ps 5. However it is the digital version, and one of the main attractions of the console for me is playing PS4 games with decent frame rates and such, and most of my PS4 games are on disc. Also Returnal is 40 dollars more as a digital purchase than the disc version where I'm at.

So what should I do fellow video game enjoyers?

Whizzing Wizard posted:

A ps5 what ain't got a disc drive.

Also the code I received is "personal" according to the message they sent me.

I fond it funny how many games take the time to make alcohol affect you, but its purely bad with no upside.

It seems silly to put all that effort into making items the player won't ever use.

Looking at you, Cyberpunk (and many others)

Course if they make alcohol give +5 str then half the players become alcoholics, so its a funky thing to balance when they can't actually replicate drunkiness.

you also have to understand the original nier has some commonalities with drakengard 1 (and 3, though 3 came afterwards), the other games in the franchise besides automata, since part of D1's whole "deal" is that it actively hates you, the player, and takes things you'd do in other games without really questioning it and makes it deeply un-fun or frustrating, as some kind of narrative on the structure of games and how players engage with them. (i'd also argue nier is the nicest of the bunch, for reasons that could be considered a spoiler so i won't say)
