Is Metal Slug 3 the one were the final level was full of clones of one of the PCs and it was aliens all along which you team up with the badguy army against? Because that's the best one.

TheDiceMustRoll posted:Valve once designed a simple puzzle that a playtester couldn't figure out for an hour and removed it from Half Life 2 because they were deeply worried about it. wait is this the "maze" that I heard of did it get cut specifically because the tester assumed that the usual maze solution of "hug the left wall" was the way to figure it out and they ran in circles for an hour

Death's Door's postgame was really good, but my one complaint about it (and the game as a whole) is there absolutely should have been a boss fight at the end. I loved Titan Souls and I would have loved a rematch against Truth. The Grey Crow and the final boss have absolutely fantastic boss themes, and the game's extremely dry British humour is very much my jam.

I think there might have been a bounty on posting proof of account sharing, like people were buying one account and sharing it with all their tumblr friends to dodge the paywall and if you outed one you got plat for free. edit: also it wasn't slowbeef and co, it was a guy named orenronen who did a real good localisation as he played double edit: I think I remember you could also turn in account sharers and get an account yourself if you didn't have one, turning the tumblr people against each other? Maybe my imagination conjured that one. SirSamVimes fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Jan 10, 2023 |

John Murdoch posted:Something full 3D with action and open world elements (or really just any kind of tangible exploration, doesn't have to be a full blown Ubisoft iconfest), but without relying on the same repeated sandbox formula where you toil away space trucking between generic space stations so you can afford to make numbers go up a tiny bit and exploration takes the form of "sometimes you see a pretty skybox". Like I want to zip my little ship inbetween the wreckage of some huge gently caress-off dreadnought to retrieve some cool bespoke weapon, then when pirates inevitably ambush me I can use the terrain to my advantage. It's probably going to sound dumb as hell, but basically the same kind of well-rounded experience as something like the Arkham games or Tomb Raider or something but you just happen to be in a spaceship. Explore/sneak/fight, find collectibles or upgrades, mild RPG elements instead of insanely meticulous and granular ship customization. If you want the sense of discovery and wonder in space distilled to its purest form (but limited to a single solar system and with no combat) I cannot recommend Outer Wilds enough.

Gromit posted:About to install Outer Wilds. I bought it during the sale because everyone raved about it and I think the genre sounded appealing? But I don't remember a single thing about the game so I don't think I've ever gone into a game as blind as this. I hope it stands up to your hype! Eagerly anticipating a "I don't get the hype, this just seems like a mediocre rpg shooter" post as the wilds/worlds distinction claims another soul.

I wish I went into Outer Wilds as blind as you, I knew a few things because of internet osmosis and while it is still one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had, I wish I could have been surprised by a couple things. Namely the supernova and the time loop itself. (don't look at this one, it's for other people who've played)

imo the time based constraints actually help Outer Wilds. If you miss a window to do a specific thing, then you go off to fly to some other planet and do some other task, it creates this ad-hoc feeling to the exploration. Sometimes your plans don't all go as you want them, that's the fun of exploring.

OzFactor posted:Extremely wide and unfathomably deep. Troubleshooter is very good, only suffering from a general problem of too many things. It could cut like twenty gameplay systems and be a bit more streamlined... but also it's whole everything, all of the things is kind of part of the charm so who cares. But yes, the build crafting is second to none, it's FFT on mega-steroids. Can you respec your characters?

I said come in! posted:Finished Greedfall finally. Because I am not feeling good tonight, and really just wanted to finish this game, I ended up getting petty and vindictive against the key NPCs in the story, went the route of war crimes against everyone. Lots of murder, backstabbing, and betrayal was had, but it made no difference in the ending anyways. In my first playthrough of the Dragon Age trilogy recently, I realised that playing a good guy doesn't mean you have to always take the "good" options. When a group of bandits tells you they're going to take your valuables off your cold dead body, they don't get to be all "oh I have seen the error of my ways" afterwards.

deep dish peat moss posted:I don't think anything about it looks fake or unbelievable, I just can't imagine how aiming would work like that on kb+m unless the game literally aims for you. Having the viewport detached from the aim angle would just feel awful if you have to actually aim your gun and not just point vaguely in the direction of an enemy Doom-style It looks like the view is following the aiming, just on a delay.

V Rising rules. I imprisoned someone with high quality blood so I could feed and drain him repeatedly and not have to settle for low quality peasant blood when hunting a boss. The game's mechanics absolutely encourage you to play like an evil vampire lord from trashy dark fantasy books.

Against the Storm has an interesting thing where it has the usual metaprogression grind and Slay the Spire style ascension difficulty so your level of skill determines how hard you can push the difficulty relative to your progression level.

Amusingly the other one is Binding of Isaac, though I think that's more the art than the weird christian poo poo. I mean when the game's identity is so based around the art it draws inspiration from, if you find that art repellent that's a fair reason to not want to play the game.

Forgot to pause my Humble so I just played through Operation: Tango. A really fun little coop game which plays like a mixture of We Were Here and Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes with a pulpy 80s spy thriller flavour despite being set in the future. The one complaint is that it's only about four hours long.
