>>750119928Valve should really replace that hag already
Sexiest and funniest woman in gaming. Where has she been my whole life?
>>750119928why can't you wait before making threads TRANNY
>>750120034Oh shit, nice. Well, I'm running a playtest session this evening (1900 UTC), they're pretty comfy and at present are entirely made up of anons, so if you're interested come along and we'll share some lists you can try.I definitely do need to add a much better introduction to deckbuilding btw, it's one of the biggest problems the game has right now - thanks for the reminder not to overlook it.
How does next fest work, are there new games every day? Is there any point in browsing anymore if I didn't find anything good on first day?
I can't find shit, damn.
>>750120424There aren't new games every day, but after the first two days it switches to having the algorithm push good stuff to the top and slop to the bottom rather than giving everything roughly equal exposure - so if you were wading through a lot of shit and not finding anything good in the first couple days, it could be worth coming back for another look.
>7000 participating games in total>it was 4500 or something previous fest>scrolled through 3000 already>feeling fucking tired with how much is still leftThis will be the first fest i didn't scroll through everything available and it is honestly terrifying.
>>750119928I love Kaci
False echo is decent, until you realize the choice on the 3rd day changes fucking nothing
ai
>>750120491I think rather than all the games being shit, the bigger problem is that every game is tagged incorrectly so I can't find the games I want to find. I found one game that I kinda liked and tried to find more, but couldn't find anything even remotely in the same category because every indie retard puts every tag into their game.The best example is probably the "immersive sim" tag, you get nothing but "cozy shop simulator"s where you click on trash on the ground to clean them up.
>False OathClassic survival horror game with tank controls (like older resident evil titles) taking place during the Middle Ageshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4601100/False_OathWonder what the "secret laboratory" equivalent and explanation for the plague will turn out to be. Abandoned crypt at the border of the underworld with heretic witches (male or female) that performed weird rituals?
I enjoyed this game, a backpack battler but you can fuse items to transfer effects from one to another. Also nice art style.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3967230/Alchemortis/
>Complexia , A Ballet of Bladeshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4688060/Complexia_A_Ballet_of_BladesTop down action game featuring chaining attacks, of the usual parrying and dodging. Very stylish but I couldn't even bring myself to finish the demo, the movement and attacks were too slippery for me, and small pet peeve of mine but there's no indicator of when you're pressing the parry button. I might just be shit at this game specifically. Visual presentation and music are really great (manga style dialogue) so people with more talent and appreciation for the genre I suggest you give it a try and see if you can click with the combat.
>Hemlon The Greyhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4354580/Hemlon_the_Grey_Demo/2D sidescroller that plays like sekiro, with some special skills you can use. Movement is a bit weird but it has momentum when you run and jump, platforming can be unforgiving. Otherwise, it's parryslop.
this fest is by far the worst next fest I have experienced, not a single wishlist from me and from the 6 games I had wishlisted before the fest, I deleted 4 of them and out of those remaining two I played the demo of one before this festmakes me shudder what next fest is gonna bring and whether I bother with it at all
>>750121880... forgot the video, and also to mention the game has pixelated titties at some point and mentions /ss/ quite openly, extremely horny. It should've been a H-game, maybe it was at some point.

Always funny when you immediately find some exploit in these demos. Dev didn't realize that the light and heavy attacks animation cancel into each other so you end up DPSing much faster than the enemies can handle.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4655030/Legend_of_Gaia_Rebirth/

>>750122759At the very least you should exclude the Incremental or Autobattler tags because thats what all of them are.It sucks to need to use additional filters to find a long established genre but most people couldnt tell the difference between a shooting game, twinstick, or danmaku to save their life.

>Appulsehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3558110/Appulse_Demo/Roguelite pinball with guns. Feels good but highscore tables with a permanent unlock system means you just want to finish early runs ASAP since they won't be able to match a fully upgraded player. The demo boards were a bit drab and the second one had an easy jackpot loop. Shame that they all have the same theme. Got a 12 mil highscore on my second run. Wishlisted, would pick it up under $10 eurobucks.
>>750121242The alchemy in this game was really confusing to me.

Notice how every good game has a well-made banner/cover. Vibes matter more than ever, your intuition IS right most of the time. Be yourself.
I made the mistake of going fox babe>valkyrie iteration>stolen probably back to back and am completely crashed on menu heavy gamesWhere are the good action heavy demos to counter this? I've got my eye on Complexia and Noirbloom that some anons posted up above
>>750128232I hated how random it was
any co-op roguelites?any sexy JRPGs that aren't RPGM asset flips?any classic style (Baldur's Gate) CRPGs?
Is the Anomalith demo any different from the, I think it was playtest? version that was out a while ago? I completed that until it let me go on free missions, I'm assuming there isn't more content?
>>750129081https://store.steampowered.com/app/3011890/Clown_Around/
Played three demos so far:Beastfolk Barber is just a visual novel. I ended up skipping most dialogue because it wasn't interesting. The slutty bunnygirl and her senpai the uptight catgirl who are both (apparently) being conned by the same foxguy were cute I guess. Porn when?https://store.steampowered.com/app/4093320/Beastfolk_Barber/ROCKBEASTS is pretty much Dispatch with a "grunge band" except on a tight budget. Critical Role (Laura Bailey, Matt Mercer, etc.) is involved with this one too, though they don't play any of the main characters. It was okay. Maybe.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1445880/ROCKBEASTS/Valkyrie Iteration: Mecha Pilot Raising Pocket Simulator or Gundam pilot girl tamagotchi didn't hold my interest.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3466240/Valkyrie_Iteration_Mecha_Pilot_Raising_Pocket_Simulator/

>>750120979The tag system's kind of shit.If your game's creative and interesting but doesn't fit into one of the big tag categories, nobody will ever find it, so devs are incentivized to make genre clones or else tag bomb to get more exposure.
>>750128978trvkeartstyle matters more than gameplay
>>750123259I always wonder if I'm doing a game justice when writing up my thoughts here, so feel free to repost it
>Embervillehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2295170/Emberville/Great VA and writing for a western 2D action indie. Weird how the demo wants you to fight dozens of the same dinky enemy and harvest shit without letting you build or craft. Combat seems like a step-up from Stardew but still slow and easy. I should have picked the hardest difficulty instead of hard. Art is pretty bland. Might pick up under €10. >>750131593>Valkyrie IterationSeems like a Misato simulator
>>750129081>Where are the good action heavy demos to counter this?3D>BAIONLENJA>Dimenshot>ANOMALITH2D>The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest>Gravity Circuit 2>Valkyrja
>>750132653>and writingThe writing is what put me off the most, extremely heavy-handed, like it was pitching me the setting instead of trying to get me immersed in it.
>>750127457Why would I reply to myself? That's retarded
>Iron Bramblehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4328820/Iron_Bramble/I wasn't too keen on Rusted Moss either. Enemies and bosses pose little challenge. Art is pretty good but the direction seems too derivative from Rain world and the maybe Radio the Universe. Drab colors. The hookshot is kinda fun but too spastic and easy to abuse. Most segments are trivial to sling yourself across. The first cut of the second trailer on the store page shows some pretty cool movement tech, but I never unlocked it in the demo. >>750133479desu I shouldn't have complemented the writing, I skipped 90% of it but the voiced lines stood out to me
What have you actually wish-listed from this fest?
Is 90% of this shit just AI?
lmao
>>750134984Yeah>>750134878lol
>>750134878Sails of Salt, a sailing game with decently fun arcade combat, and Nomadica, a survivalcraft with very cute art.
>>750135218Looks cool, is it coopshit?
was hoping deepstate had a demo out, oh well.. any good looter shooters / tactical shooter demos?
>>750134878Probably Stolen and The Hollowing. Also going to keep an eye on Your Painting, Sir and False Echo.
>>750135551I'm not aware of they have coop functionality, but both are playable in singleplayer. I swore off multiplayer/online only games a long time ago and I'm never coming back.
>>750135073What game?
I like the way False Oath looks but I don't know if the gameplay works for a full game. It's literally just parry and attack, and if you fail to parry you lose either shield durability or HP, until it eats into your resources. Also if ingots are limited then repairing your shield would permanently lock you out of upgrades.
>>750120867I marked the repair authorization false like he asked and he blamed himself for the outcome, maybe it's supposed to affect a quest on a later day with his attitude towards you.Actually having to type out encoded messages is equal parts interesting and annoying even as someone who types recreationally. I imagine some players will complain if there are more time-sensitive encoding orders.
>>750137360Come to my party - https://store.steampowered.com/app/4542970/Come_to_my_party_Demo/
>>750119928Warhammer Survivors is genuinely one of the worst games I've ever played in my life. If the price is even a cent higher than free, it's a massive rip off.
why can't western devs make black people games with aesthetics this good?
>>750134719Is the MC as much of an edgequeen at this screenshot suggests?
>>750138138Western devs know what blacks look like.
>>750137360>>750138064Yeah. Superb pixel art, very grating writing. The demo consists of listening to annoying children, mostly the protag, set to the same annoying piano tune. I accidentally skipped the first puzzle where you have to log into the computer, which gave me a hint about how much the devs cared about the thing.
>>750138262Generally she seems more aloof, a bit sarcastic. I skipped most of the dialogue though.

Any good shmups at this next fest?
>>750140132If you played 18 hours per day without stopping, you would have to play more than 1 game per minute. That's almost as little experience with a game as journalists have before reviewing a game.
>>750140179
>>750140550There's some actual shmups, this time around, but none of them are good.
>>750134878Slam Tank is a banger.

>>750140164If the AI slop flooding the steam store was on this level of quality - I wouldn't give a shit about AI usage. Shame that it's all jeets prompting incremental vampire survivors and shitty porn VNs with the same exact look. It's so repetitive I actually got fooled into checking out the store page of an AI porn game just because it was ripping off Vanripper instead of using the generic glossy dead-eyed anime style.
>>750141080Oooo, my bad. Terrible title for a video game, if I'm being honest.
>>750141157>me when I use AI undisclosed
>>750141179I agree, and not even super representative of the game since you don't have to interact with stolen and contraband goods, it's not like they're the focus.

>>750141157I played it and it felt like a decent flash game.I played the other game from them, Knightly Passions, and it is reviewed pretty harshly on Steam. Something about yanking content from a DLC after people bought it. Also the gameplay was uninspired or something.That Knightly Passions game had a better look than this one. Has that generic "plump girl" aesthetic that AI pumps out constantly.

>>750145691I liked Queen's Domain.
>>750145691The Hollowing
>>750137776I think it's by design, old survival horror games didn't pull out their punches. (mostly due to technical limitations)I personally like it, imo it creates a nice balance between "I need to fucking run away aiiee!!!!!!" and "hehe you are locked with me now faggots"If you are good at the game you can do the latter, otherwise if you're not confident you're forced to think about how to avoid obstacles. Which is better than being forced to run away all the timeBUT that is if the parry mechanic isn't too trivializing. Even when you don't have any shields left you can still be invulnerable in false oath, all at the press of a button
Any decent horror that isn't pixel type?

>>750149954This is at least the second time you voice your hatred for coop games in response to something that shows no hint of being coop. Kind of a weird bit.It's singleplayer only. It's a fusion of Dungeon Keeper and a colony sim.

>>750149875>>750149954>>750150865Wait, nevermind, it DOES have coop. That's why you asked. My bad, I fucked up there.Ye, it's a game in a framework that was basically designed for singleplayer, there's no need for coop.If I may offer a recommendation, filtering coop games will just nuke decent singleplayer games with optional multiplayer. What I'd suggest is to look whether a game has the "singleplayer" feature in the sidebar menu.

>>750150869A lot of '70s-'90s European animated television was co-produced and simultaneously aired in Japan, like Heidi, for example. A cartoon, or anime I suppose, that's based on a Swiss book. Same happened with the '90s Moomin cartoon.

Writing can be a bit obtuse, but reads more like a /lit/fag wrote it than an animebrain. There's a couple direct references to Borges' Aleph short story. There's a twist about halfway that made me worry the tone would shift to creepypasta horror, but it stuck its landing.>Cardaire: Eternal AcesIt's a pretty short demo, and there was only one minigame directly related to card battles. The resource system is MtG-lite, but as a yugioh player I was able to get into it. Archetypes really lend themselves to deckbuilding. I like it more than the other indie TCG attempts I've tried.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3794790/Echoes_of_Nothing/Now this is my kind of weird shit. Heat, boost, and glide all being tied together feels cumbersome at first but quickly becomes enjoyable to engage with, especially after you switch to something other than the starting ship.Areas are huge, while also cramped, and hard to navigate specifically where to go, but I found my way to a boss at the end.Not sure if my game broke or it's unfinished but after beating the boss it opened doors that just led out of bounds, and picking up gear stopped working as well, just getting stuck to my ship.Looks like there is going to be a ton of depth to the stats and weaponry, the first ship I swapped to and finished the demo with had the asymmetrical weapon hardpoints which become super important in 6dof combat.

It's actually insane how well the Derelikt dev managed to copy Alien Resurrections's art style. Shame the monster designs are the least spooky shit ever. Really makes me wonder why Disney doesn't just pay some small studio to make a low poly Alien horror game, it would be free money. Isolation 2 is still years away it seems like, so it's not like it would steal that game's thunder.

>>750159307It's rare. I lived in a house once that was one of 3 built by the same guy, and they were close in floorplan (though some had walls added or knocked down). It's rare for me to see houses so similar it's eerie.

Combat is a bit wonky but satisfying, except for the boss fight that was complete ass. Dungeons are exceptionally repetitive, it's like the same layout copypasted a dozen times, but to be honest I had fun with it and will be wishlisting it. Nice character creator, really pleasant artstyle, good animataions, and a lovely main menu theme song.

No more (You)s, but I'm still posting this for clarification in case other Anons want to know.https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/upcoming_events/nextfest
SO is there anything actually good, or is it all pixels and furry slop?

>>750162180Speaking of porn games, I like the art in this one. Shame it's yet another Vampire Survivors clone but I had fun with it.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4105960/Charmed_Souls/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/5182720/Waifu_Curator/>what if cleaning autism but also anime girlsGenius.Actually, you know what? I'm waiting for the game where you clean dirty anime girls. Cleaning autism, anime girls, AND porn.Get on it. You're welcome.
>>750165163I don't care for sex scenes, I just want a game with a girl on the side that slowly undresses as my score goes up... like butt knight but with better art
>>750165163I refuse to have anything to do with Otterside after they baited me into buying a futa game that never advertised being futa and only revealed being futa at the edge of the 2 hour refund window. Barely managed to refund it in time. Shameless pieces of shit.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/5242870/DERELIKT_Demo/Derelikt - Pretty fun pseudo PS1 boomer shooter. Reminded me of Alien Resurrection combined with Doom 3. Has a lot of scifi homages too including this room that is literally just the NERV command center from Eva
>>750148460I also played this demo and was surprised how dogshit it was, thought they were better than that.Genuine slop
>>750165605The world's first Alien Resurrection-like. Or Arection-like, for short.
>>750165605Oh I just remembered the game this most reminded me of: Dementium The Ward
>>750165573
>>750165163Shame it's a total dog to play. Crappy abilities, over reliance on stats to survive to force repeat plays, phoned in smut.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3610790/Hope_in_the_City/The low-poly style is unappealing, but it's a serviceable adventure game about a Chink family mystery. Not the greatest presentation outside of a few well-animated short cutscenes, though it's fully voiced
I thought halfgrip would be fun, not unplayable tier;
Man going through the discovery queue and it's 99% synty assets or the extremely fried AI slop cover images. What a fucking chore.
>>750159307Literally the only places I've seen this are in a few suburb developments where they throw up a fuck ton of prefab houses. Most property development companies try to make houses look somewhat different. My guess is it makes neighborhoods look more inviting when there's a variety of home designs to choose from.
>>750170216There's a few good ones I've found. Prospice seems promising, kind of like Mudrunners crossed with Stalker. Derelikt is pretty good too. Divine Frequency seems alright but I'm on the fence about getting it since it's running on GzDoom and I've generally got some deep reservations about buying anything running on it
>>750170590Yeah I'm not saying there's nothing and I've found a couple I like but holy fuck entire sets back to back are just 100% literal shit that shouldn't exist period
>There Are No Ghosts At the Grand is a preachy version of PowerWash simulator with a bunch of musical numbersWhat's the appeal of this slop?https://store.steampowered.com/app/3992630/There_Are_No_Ghosts_at_the_Grand_Demo/

anything good so far?
>>750165860I don' talk about Dementium The Ward much but I think about itIT GOT A REMASTER??????????!
>>750165860Is this game good? It's discounted now on steam
Is this good? Like Diablo but Western with horrorhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3574750/The_Dark_West/
>>750125763
>>750172131I forgot about it. I played Grim Dawn so much this year I should give it a shot.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4739820Fun concept for a game, I like the writing of the opening
>>750149832>>750147740Clip seems to be from herehttps://x.com/DXT47/status/2108106766294618622but the mentioned devs twitter has 0 information about it.
>>750171946It's meh. Biggest thing in its favor was there were very few FPS on the DS and no horror ones. I'd pirate it if you want to try it out. Best played on the DS of course
>>750165605I'm digging the prerendered FMV cutscenes so far. The dev did a pretty good job of imitating old PS1 cutscenes. First thing I thought of when the game began proper was Hellnight. I've got a feeling the ammo management system, while novel, might wear out its welcome pretty quick. Also I've got a feeling medium medkits might be bugged or some shit because when I tried using one it wouldn't work
>>750172805does do actually do anything on the right half of the screen?
>>750173217Medkits worked for me but I always was missing enough health so they didn't heal to full. Ammo was definitely something I fucked up a few times before I realized you lose the whole mag when you reload.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4442860/Imprinted_Demo/Imprinted - Music themed OS mystery game. More of a immersive visual novel since there's no choices involved. You play as a sad sack audio engineer and there's some sort of found tape thing going on. Has some neat FMV sequences and you can apply to be a character in the forums yourself.
Now that most of the trash got sorted out yeah I think this Next Fest was pretty weak, they can't all be bangers unfortunately, but hey I did find a couple of interesting games in it and that's always good.
>>750119928I thought this game was alright. I know there's a shit ton of card battlers with rouge-like elements but there's some fun strategies involving positioning and chaining effect triggers. Story has good intrigue. Translation is very rough though and it's lacking some Q&A. It's stated to launch in January but I'm expecting a long early access. >https://store.steampowered.com/app/2541560/ARCHETYPE_BLUE/
>>750174696This fest has been sumptuous for me, I am simply gorging
Food Devils is ghey. Why did they pick all male characters for me.Also he died 1 turn before escaping, not very mild of a failure.
>>750174939I am fairly happy with what I've found and I still have a couple of demos to play, I just think we had better Fests in the past
>>750174941Okay I'll redownload and try again. I thought I made a mistake picking the male MC because I was only getting male units but the store screenshots say otherwise.
>>750173597When I think of anything past the 90s having a musical focus, I cringe to the very depths of my cringeneys.
>>750173337You don't lose the ammo in the magazine, it just gets added to your inventory as a seperate stack and if you don't condense your ammo it'll just reload the next most full stack. So say you reload your assault rifle and you have a stack with 18 rounds and another stack with 8 rounds. It'll just load that stack of 18 instead of a full reload. To get a full reload you'd need to combine the two stacks of ammo. It's basically a somewhat realistic magazine system that lets you condense your ammo.
>>750174941>>750176221I wish I waited to try this, the pre-nextfest demo didn't have any voice acting and the game felt very dry. But I already played it and don't want to play it again.
>>750173217>>750173337Yeah, for a survival horror game, the resource management is extremely lenient, even on Hard Mode. I do recommend filling out the survey, as it very open ended for recommendations, and I think this game has massive potential. I will say that the lacking enemy behavior is a major flaw that's probably going to be harder to work around
>>750176260Oh shit, ok. I totally lost track of that but I like it though for full immersion it should make it so the menu doesn't pause
>>750139031I like this DMC tank game
>>750178057This is what mecha games look like to normal people
>>750178225Wait you're right, I got tricked into playing a mecha game!
>>750175286>Inkblood>Hillthorn>Infested DX
I was excited for ReBlade: The Death Spiral, but unfortunately it's roguelite goyslop. The combat is nice and the character is hot, but I cant deal with roguelike/roguelite slop.
>>750123241>>750141883Hey fellow niggas. Can you upload demo files somewhere? Pretty plsease
>>750178847the cool fellas at valve have uploaded them to steam
>>750178910Well. I only have mobile internet with low data caps at home right now. I can download it on my phone or tablet at work but not at home. That is why I am asking for helping hand. I could probably make it work with emulator or something if I got the files. Thanks.
>>750179032I was able to launch without having steam open so it should be fine, no save data or anything included.https://gofile.io/d/atL9cWzk
>EVIL MOON: UnspokenLow-poly nuns with wide hips shoot demonized humans that were corrupted because the moon heard them speak. Really cool premise and presentation but kinda faked me out by being more first-person Metroidvania than boomer shooter. 8/10>Minglecute game where you move a character around a scene to find their match and then change to find another until it's empty, surprising variety 6/10>AppulsePinball on spaceships but you ball can get guns with recoil. Slick presentation, good controls, good feedback, and of course it's a fucking roguelite. Still, might be worth a try. 7/10>Olympus RangersPretty blatant Pokemon Stadium-like with a few new mechanics like positioning and assists from party members and small tweaks like that. Only tried because the dev made a great arcade-style shooter called Candy Rangers. The music is EXCELLENT. 7/10>Generic Fighter MaybeIt's a very standard 2D fighting game with simple goofy characters and slick animation. Fun & simple without being casual. 8/10>Elta: Defy All GodsDecent TPS-camera melee combat game crossed with Metroid Prime. Neat painterly textures and cool alien/armor designs PLUS you get a little dragon buddy. Clearly an early build though, only demo that crashed on me. 7/10>Louloudi AsteriHorizontal shmup that's actually in 3D space and you can travel into the foreground/background while rotating the playfield whenever you dodge. Seems like a really cool idea but it genuinely overloaded my brain in the tutorial.>Annalynn MDDr. Mario x Puyo Puyo in a beaker (aka a cylindrical playfield you can rotate). I could actually wrap my brain around this one and it's great. Super charming presentation as well. 8/10
>>750179540>Ball BustersRoguelite about doing juggle combos to a dummy. I've thought of a game with a similar premise but this is a bit too janky. Girls are hot and the music is great though so maybe. 6.5/10>SLAM TANKInsanely fun and goofy premise but commits hard to it and controls like a dream while running quite well even with tons of fast particle effects. The mixture of simple vehicle handling with melee combat makes it feel like basically nothing else. Shame I could sniff out the AI usage from the loading screen and the page confirmed it so I'm docking points. 8/10>SPLATTER KINGSimple hand-drawn single-screen arcade game. You slash at enemies and dodge attacks so monsters don't scare/take your babes and you don't die. Very unforgiving, very Dragon's Lair. Charming but I don't see it having a lot of depth. 6.5/10>Raging Blasters IIPixel-perfect vertical shmup with simple, effective mechanics and nice music. Very PC Engine-coded. 8.5/10>Alexus 2040Galaga with a bunch of temporary power-ups, bosses, and unlockable ships. Actually really nice and understands it scope very well. 8/10>TeaknightsSin & Punishment but with that over-exaggerated Y2K style a lot of things are going for now. Nothing exceptional but I do appreciate the attempt and the main girl is very cute. 7.5/10>Godzilla Destroy All Monsters MeleeI mean all they had to do was not fuck up an easy slam dunk and they didn't fuck it up based on what I played. Plus they knew to have based Gigan playable in the demo. All I needed to know.
>>750179032Have you tried not being a poor nigger?My hourly wage is stupidly low and even I'm able to afford a decent internet plan
>>750179613Sorry I live in UK. And not my fault. It suppose to be fixed in a week(already 4 months) so I don't want to get long time plans especially that I only use pay to go. If I know that it gonna take that long I would get some cheap plan from other source. Knowing my luck it will be probably fixed the day after I buy 60giga plan.>>750179258Thanks. Appreciated. If it's not a dolphin porn. Hm, even if it's dolphin porn
Acts of blood combat is pretty cool. You can also kick items on the ground onto enemies, pickup weapons and finish them using the environment.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4943260/Tin_Coffins/TPS mecha game. Was thinking of Zakus when I saw it but apparently it's more like VOTOMS (wouldn't know).Mechs didn't have much weight to them, but someone else might find it interesting
>>750180456I tried it, found that the direction that you shoot in is completely independent from where your gun is actually pointed, had a laugh, then stopped playing. If the dev doesn't care enough to make that work properly, there isn't any real chance that the rest of it is any good.
Any cool looter shooters/dungeon crawlers that revolve around getting loot?
>>750180456They walk like they shit themselves while if it was votoms inspired they would be skating and drifting everywhere

Local/online multiplayer I meant to say
>>750179540>>EVIL MOON: UnspokenYou forgot to mention how it's a primary console shooter with a target lock and slow enemies in low quantities.
>>750183379Yeah, it seemed pretty bland to me. Also for whatever reason, my computer had it giving me micro stutters the entire time.

>>750119928Would consider
>>750180076>did an update where the punch sounds got muffled while reducing the AI's ability to feint before delivering a swift kick to the shinsStill a good demo regardless. It's a lot harder to reach a 1000 KOs in the arena mode now with how much they require you to main executions. I liked it better when you could rely on throws and misdirection to keep the momentum up.

I'm not too experienced in daughter-raising games as my only experience is Drapline (adore that game, pic related), but this just felt really linear. Went in blind, raised Sync since that seemed like an important stat, and just coasted for the rest of the game making sure to keep her fatigue and depression in check. Easy skip, even though it looks pretty.

>>750185956Another anon said it was disappointing after he played it. Let us know your impression
>>750187581Yeah, the three MAGI you can see one in the foreground there. Also in the computer terminal at the end you run a program called Security.nrv or something like that
>>750179032>>750179981still, 150mb makes a difference for you?
>>750189308Not any of those postes but yes anon assessed it correctly. Great art style, not that good graphics (particularly in the distance), wayyy too much yapping and a very repetitive fishing minigame
>>750189308>>750190507There's been so many shitty horror fishing games since Dredge, with only like one button input to fish, no preparation. Even Crimson desert has a better fishing system, and that doesn't even use bait at all. Only decent ones I've seen has been About Fishing, Sinker Sound and the Nice Day for Fishing, only because they were ever so slightly more mechanically involved
>Violence of Actionhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4911460/Violence_of_Action/Early on WW2 fantasy (spider tanks) tactical action. Commands are janky and lack nuance. You can pause but it's on cooldown. Queue up actions but you may only cancel entire action chains. You can't tell a soldier to enter prone once he arrives, he's either prone the entire movement or not at all. No cover mechanics. Troops scatter on grenades without your input. etc etc. You can find melee weapons but not use them as far as I've seen?Still, cool stuff like destructible buildings, smoke screens, wound system. Needs a lot of work, demo was too early. Will check it out again later on. Shame on the generic name.
>the QR codes on the IDs of the magical girls in Magical Girl ER lead to the twitter pages of the artistsNeat.I gave the demo three playthroughs and it's pretty damn hard to work with the 3 stamina limit, especially since many cases can be ambiguous and talking can reveal three different symptoms so you can't be sure if that one conversation was all of it.

Running fast is fun, air charge for jump is good, air control is decent. Hookshot doesn't feel like it conserves momentum in a great way, but feels decent at times. A wall jump or ground pound jump would help with it feeling more fluid. The final stretch of the demo felt pretty fun, but again, it was very short.

Gundams with codpieces are lame, they're just twinks in blocky costumes, they don't feel like mechs at all, and they don't have the benefit of being ridiculously absurd like someone doing that with a literal normal tank. This is stupid in just the right way.

I do agree that the AI trailer at the beginning looks like shit and actually is a disservice to the game. When I looked at it I thought for a second that I fell for the chinese ad scam but instead of a mobile game it's on Steam.

>>750187449I refunded it thoughever.
>>750194349Seeing Noir Boom in motion, I really appreciate how Katana Zero doesn't do the whole camera effects thing (constant panning, shake, etc.) and just lets the gameplay do the talking.
