>>574571886>slime assok so hear me out, it's not a sin if-
Jak and daxter... Kinda mid actually. Double jump timing was too tight, bad combat, hilariously restrictive health recovery system, passable at best driving, video game story, boring and unnecessary power ups.Feel a bit like a step down compared to crash bandicoot in basically every way.Ironically, there is another game that basically copied the entire idea but did it way better 2 years later. Rayman 3.Does jak and daxter 2 improves on the first game or at least does something interesting?
>>574580357If she's the same species as Blueberry she's actually hard candy
>>574580385jak 2 is basically GTA: furry dark fantasy edition>Double jump timing was too tightgit gudjak and daxter 1 is really amazing for the seamless interconnected world and animation quality. animation is still better than most modern games. they got that pixar quality out of a PS2 somehow.I never want to see another one way drop or "squeeze through this tight narrow passage to give us time to load the next bit" when jak and daxter exists.
>>574580619I'm diabetic, so fucking her would kill me.

>>574582632took me a sec
>>574580718I liked the fact there was no visible loading screens and the animations and arts were cool, voice acting wasn't bad either. But that's presentation. Good presentation doesn't really change my opinion on the game itself. Persona 5 has incredible presentation but it's a complete garbage game to play.
Rock Bottom is the rare incremental rogueslop that looks fun to me. A bit of Steamworld vibes.
>pathogenic>find an ability that shits out attacks from connected weapons"hmmmmmm, this shouldn't work, if it does wo-"I love indie games.
>>574584310I am watching it right now. The OST is a banger but it's rogueslop instead of proper leveldesign. What a shame.
>>574584495It's right up my alley. For like 8 euros, definitely worth it.
>>574584793That's a good price for what it is. I remember Peak devs said 8 buckeroos is the sweetspot to be cheap enough for impulse purchases but high enough to still make some money.

>>574594997'Lab boys told me we literally didn't have the poly budget for five ferns, let alone five thousand. Added 'em anyway, and guess what? Overdraw is lethal to the framerate. My mod runs at 1 FPS! Still, it looks great in screenshots, so we're gonna try listing it as an environmental mod. When life gives you zbrush, sculpt foliage. Let's make some mods!

I love Leah. She's such a fucking idiot.
>>574555678Had Control but haven't played it yet. Never played either Evil Within. Picked up the other one. Pretty cool so far. Thanks for the recommendation!
>>574617470>Never played either Evil Within.I wasn't a fan of the first one. It felt like it was trying to be Resident Evil and Silent Hill at the same time without anything that actually made those games good. The second one was a much better game that had a lot more of it's own identity so it is a shame that it ended there.

>>574540874I thought I was going to be cheeky. I thought I'd take a gig and slip on over to Zhonghuamen Terminal via the PASS and make a quick bit of cash. I was not aware there is a 15 hour turnaround time for the next shuttle to come and get me back to KLEG. I tried to super fast forward and died. I'm guessing to the Chemical Pneumonitis it had warned me about, but the cause of death was not outright stated at the game over screen. After reloading a couple times I got the sec recon gig again and PASSed on out once again. Found a gig to investigate a death on the ship I'm wanting to buy. Hooo buddy.
>filling up my inventory with so much garbage that the game started a new inventory rowHoly fuck. At least you can't use item on item in this game so that is a lot of headache spared.
>>574641447ACTUALLY item combining suddenly works now. it's like the 2nd row unlocked it.I combined a cheap plastic imitation of a manneken pis with a bottle of whiskey.
That was very niceStill not sure about the turn based combat, but the game was way longer than i was expecting, with a cool payoff for people who played the flash games
Stop calling me out as point&click adventure player.
>>574641447Ah yes, just what you need to solve a mystery. A single coin, some nailclippers, a paperclip, and 2/3 of a cookie.
>>574643210Funnily enough, the coin which I stole from a russian oligarch excited the guy who is a coin collector so much that he left so I could get the batteries from his CD player to make the police guy pee.The cookie was used to trap a cockroach inside of the matchbox.
>pathogenic>don't exactly know what cancerous trait does>realize it converts other nearby weapons into the same one as the cancerous one>cancerous weapon is a minion weapon>somehow after each room finishes it exponentially spawns minions for each weapon>massive blob of minions fills the room and instantly dies because combat is overI feel that bugs is what makes indie games fun.

>>574664851No, but i like to keep track of new releasesI know i will probably play them in 2 or 3 years once they are in a humble choice

Finished gearing up my dudes with planned stuff instead of whatever.
>>574659101What a fucking obnoxious cocksucker. Wow.
>>574650175there should be a server browserit's a bit like battlefield in space
>>574670990Uh oh melty.
>>574669673In a way, but I'm primarily interested in the historical cold war setting.I always assumed doing a grand strategy game during that time might be hard, because map painting doesn't hit the same if you just expand economic zones, military alliances and fight the occasional proxy war. But if by making you play an intelligence agency, instead of a country I can kind of actually see this work
>>574665501I'll never understand the point of having anime pictures in the sidelines that have little to nothing to do with the actual game
>>574672171The left is your character and the right is the character I'm moused over/interacting with.

>>574656669>>574657698>winter postcardyou know what,i've never properly looked at the cover and always thought it was giant wall of sea swells(a nod to the falls part of the name), an abstract symbolic cover, never noticed it was of a small remote village tucked cozily in the mountains and forest , buecasue that wher the game is set. Funnily enough it also reminds me of Nirvana's Nevermind album cover.

Oh my fucking god can boomers stop putting musical sheet puzzles into videogames?I am not relearning the random and stupidly named note lines.
Wow the Big Hops ending sucked. Like major "oh that was fucking nothing". I guess they give you the ability to backtrack and do 100% completion but why would I? Just a mess of a game especially from the third world forward.
Will I report this optimization bug? No. It's fun.
>>574692712Half the fun of explosions is making the framerate shit the bed.It's why I main air raider in EDF.
The sun city rune made no sense to me and the cardinal directions were completely wtf 6 corners turn around logic like it's french numbers but the rest I figured out.
What a fuckyou area.
For over 20 goddamn years I've been wondering why Siberia on hard was so, well, hard. I'd just be taking damage randomly and by the time I left the first area I'd be at half health or worse.Yeah turns out there's a fucking sniper all the way at the top of the dam. This is on an emulator, at 3x internal resolution, on a modern PC. On a stock Xbox with a grainyass tv, it's no wonder I never found this guy.
>>574697557Nice, reminds me of playing Fallout 3 for the first time and coming across a location called minefield. It's a small abandoned town full of hidden mines, so exploring it was pretty tense, as you try not to get blown up, plus I didn't know what to expect from the game yet.Turns out there also is a sniper in that location, but I didn't know that at the time, so I it was just aery have some of the cars randomly catch on fire and explode when he shot them. I have no clue if he's programmed to shoot them on purpose or if he just missed me and all the stars aligned to create an unforgettable experience in a mediocre game
What the fuck is going on with these stacks?Is it because I have added mods mid playthrough?Also bought Thea 2 legally, because I have spent more hours than the equivalente in €.
>>574697557>finally killed the asshole haunting youI am happy you, anon. I mean this with full sincerity, as much sincerity as I can give for a minute of attention and then later forget about it.
GOATED puzzles.
Alright that's the last Broken Sword also beaten.Gotta love how for 95% you are combining tape with a coin to create a thingamabob and then in the last 10 minutes you suddenly use the power of christ and god to prevent the birth of an ancient being that will destroy the world and universe.5 was good again but I wonder how much 4 being so dogshit and like from an entirely different team plays into that perspective right now.Good long series to get into if you haven't yet as point&click adventure fan and cheap too...except Broken Sword 1 which you could get on sales for less than 1€ got delisted and now there is only the 30€ remaster.
>decade-old chineseium hdd is starting to slow>ssd are stupid expensive>pc component market in general is getting utterly ratfucked>it's not going to get bettergoddammit
>>574697557Wait, there's a sniper there? I knew about the ones in Chicago, but you can just abuse the aimbot to snipe him.
>>574630987something about the sluggishness of the grenade(?) throw, the swap the to the rifle, and the knife stabs and general movement makes this look like a fake videogame you'd see in a show or something
Damn now I got 2 days free till Grim Dawn. Will be so nice to play something active again after such a passive genre 5 games in a row.Maybe I play some 20 minute itchio bangers till then.
>>574702816t. haven't played a real game in years
>>574703076Angels Fall First would be a good choice.
>>574702184I thought that was an X2 screenshot from the thumbnail
>>574704443Sorry I don't care for point&shooties much.>>574704831I totally see that from the thumbnail lol. But please go into your gpu settings to not stretch 4:3 games to 16:9.
>>574705927It's not being GPU stretched. The game's camera is just like that on the edges.
>>574706258Even the GUI? But alright then.
>>574706697Yeah. The gravidar is hard to explain in words, but it isn't a circle by design. It's kind of like a 3/4 projection, where if you were driving on a road and saw five dots in a vertical line "up" on it, they'd be the 5 cars in a row straight in front of you.The straight lines on the symbols are showing how far above or below your flat plane they are - line up = below, line down = above.It's way more intuitive than it sounds.
>>574708006OK but the circle in the middle is also oval instead of a circle.
>>574708839Interesting, changing it to actual 4:3 resolution in the game's settings make circles into circles in screenshots, but in-game it looks identical to the 16:9 proportions, which means the "native" 16:9 is stretched to begin with.I think the game is natively stretching the resolution internally instead of banning 16:9 outright. What a janky hack of a fix.
Yeah, with Windowed mode selected it only shows 4:3 resolutions. Wew lad, I never would have noticed.
>>574709497OH GOD IT'S ALL FUCKED TOO

>>574711571Hey it can always be was worse. At leas the game runs.
>>574709497they just use the same transformation matrix for all resolutions, easiest and dumbest way to do it, but obviously it only looks right at the original aspect ratio.>>574704831>>574708006>>574709497also it's crazy how much of a fucking downgrade X3 was compared to X2>shadows>nebula>cockpits>station interiors>gate travel animationand of course the campaign scripting is way more stable and random missions are way better too.I think X2 might actually look better than X4 in some ways.
>>5747094971280x1024 is 8:5 not 4:31280x960 is the guy you're looking for
>>574717364Whenever I have dreams about the X games it's always X2's aesthetic. The huge station interiors and coloured lighting is captivating. I also think its ships overall look a lot less generic than later games, though I adore the X3-era Paranid ships.>>574717548That looks better

>>574761004I don't get why he considers the mirror thing as if it's a different game alltogether that then "merges" with the rest of the game, flash news that's just called "introducing new mechanics".But as much as I dislike how pretentious Blow is I must admit that this looks pretty fun
>>574709497The game scales,The GPU scales,The monitor scales.Many points of failure.But that you had to be told that the ovals should be circles is astounding.
>>574761601it was literally a different puzzlescript game originallyhe basically just took 4 existing games, reimplemented them and combined their mechanics
>>574742110yeah i had been playing stuff like ut99 and 04 and xonotic with some budsonly modern pvp shooter i play is finals
>>574762521so that's why development has been so long, curious to see how it turns out
>>574761004>J-Blo says his puzzles are fun, not once but 3+ times.His description of mechanics has to be *the* worst way of advertising the game and its non-white female shoehorn.

>>574775147>>574775767>>574775987we're in the same boat anon, haven't played games in about 2 weeks because of the heat, and for the most part feel desensitised and numb. but keep soldiering on anyway. life can be mostly shit, but sometimes no matter how rarely it can be alright and fun. i used to have a bunch of hobbies and now i'm slowly dipping my toes back into them.
>dev makes incredible game>follow-up is bad, cancelled, in development hell, or caused the studio to implodeEven without all the issues that plague AAA, why does this keep happening?
>>574777189Most people in this thread have made zero games, period. Think about the gulf in time, energy, persistence, and luck between that and finishing your first game, even if it's bad. Now think about the gulf between that and making a game that's actually good. There's yet another gulf between that and doing it again, and the gap gets wider each time. No one's output is going to be 100% bangers, and the smaller the team the larger the odds they can't weather a failure. Hell, the smaller the team the larger the odds that they just straight up run out of ideas that they're able to competently execute.
>>574774789Babin
>>574777189having the imagination and passion necessary to make one good game is already more than most people get, having the creativity and talent necessary to make multiple ones is even more rare. I also think that devs nowadays are scared of making simple, honest to god sequels, they always feel the need to reinvent the wheel or to start from scratch with something completely different and it rarely bodes well
sure, why the hell not
>>574777189Let's have a moment to think about Somethingggg killing NGU idle to create NGU industry and give up on it because it sucked.
>>574776270No, I don't miss censorship.

>>574778180I'm pretty sure indie devs actively recommend against sequels in general. If your game did poorly, you don't have any goodwill or momentum. If it did well, you're better off using the resources and experience to try and make something new rather than something that will only interest people who were fans of your first game. Sequels were the bread and butter of 2000s AA who could rely on pure volume to keep them alive through a stinker, but for indie devs that are forced to buckle after one failure they have to keep pushing forward and outward, constantly.
>>574778386Sweet Deal
>>574778815That's loserspeak.t. Gulman dev
>>574778738To be fair Steam and people that release games on Steam don't have a good delineation between "I'm fine with God of War harpies having their tits out" and Kramer's Quest for Hentai 6: The Search for Spunk.
>>574778973Good. I'd hate if it was like Sony where you need to be popular to be allowed to have sexual content.
>>574778738QUALITY PORNNot this digustingly ugly low effort WEG shit
>>574778815idk I feel like they parade this too much as an estabilished fact rather than a theory, it might be an outliar but Silksong did great and it's very much a straight sequel to Hollow Knight
>>574778973What do you mean there's a whole spectrum between shield my pure christian eyes and pornography.

>>574777189>suddenly get into an indie series that's pretty well known that's been around for about a decade>start with earlier entry>really enjoy it, lot to play around with, lotta mods for good fun>learn the series branched out a bit a few years in to some interesting side games that are fun and even a small comic>find the story surprisingly interesting>"oh wow this is so cool I wonder what the newest game's like!">look at communities for the new game>at it's core the games okay but the meta is kinda fucky>game is also light on content with drip feeding like 4 things a year>roadmap is only about 3 characters next year and a console port in 28>no more side games>worst, the game dev downsized dramatically some time ago and fired people like the og character concept artist>game series I just got into isn't really dead but you can just look and see a timeline of it coming out, getting big then struggling and shrinking as things get worse even as it peters along nowweird feelingprobably wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact i have a propensity to get really interested in indie game stories when they hook me even when the game's community doesn't give a shit and devs don't care as much as did at one point in timebonus points to anyone who guesses the franchise
>>574780221I'll check it out. I still need to play worlds. I keep hearing about it.
>>574780652Steam World Dig 3 when?
>>574781518not what i was thinking of, but a quick glance makes it seem kinda similar in the sense of getting broad a point then falling offwill have to look into these games at the least
>>574780652Why are you afraid of revealing what you play
>>574782219i just thought it'd be interesting if someone else might recognize what I speak of
>>574782484That game where you genemod monsters to make your own party? Not Geneforge but something similarily named.
>>574782219nta, but sometimes I omit game titles if I feel like they're irrelevant to a story I'm telling. But also I'm just weird
>>574782623NahIt's a fighting game series, tho as i mentioned it had branched out to a few different things a bit in the early twenties before going all in on GAME 2
>>574783850"In the early twenties"?
>>574783985yeah the early 2020's
>>574784078
>>574783850Rivals of Aether?
>>574784919bingo>>574784565in all fairness we're so far from what we called the 20's I think it's practical enough to call the 2020's the 20's in general parlance

>>574775147>>574775767>>574775987I work full time, but I don't exercise and eat poorly. I probably have dopamine addiction issues, but I stopped caring at some point, I will just kill myself eventually, before old age.My job is in a office full of pointless bureaucracy. I now see no point in the grind anymore. I just want to enjoy my hobbies in the years I have left.
I always die because I can't resist making "blow everything up in a massive chain reaction" wands whenever I get the chance.Just now died to a triple-spread disc with lightning bounce and fire trail wand. casting sea of oil and then the electric fire discs into it was too much fun.
One of the reasons I hate noita is how long it takes to do the fun shit. Most wands and resources on the early levels just suck.I will reinstall noita one of these days and just use cheat mods.
>>574791880you can randomly get some pretty sick wands in a chest at the startI remember I got one with unlimited rapid fire magic missiles on it one time
>>574787871seek god
>>574791880>The first 15 minutes of a 10 hours run sucks!Play on hard mode.
It was a nice soup.
>>574781518I still can't believe they wasted their time and money making a fucking citybuilder.That's negative overlap with the usual steamworld fanbase.
>>574793504that will take a lifetime>captcha expired
>>574795427I never got good enough shit in 15 min and never had a 10h run. All the wands in the early game are very shit in terms of stats, so are the spells you can get. A lot of rng on top of getting actually good stuff.This is just not the average experience at all.>>574792658This almost never happens.
Don't forget to feed your Neopets.
>>574798879Wrong board, dumbtard.
>darkest dungeon 1 is getting a new dlc after 5 yearsOh boy I can't wait for all my mods to break
>>574803273Why the first game? Was dd2 that bad?
>>574803273>>574803929was wondering the same thing. In fact when I saw it on steam, I assumed it was for DD2
>>574803273>>574803929yeah it's always weird when an earlier game gets dlc over the new onesometimes very cool but often a bad sign
>>574803273I can't think of a single DLC that has actually improved that game in any way.Best way to play is to disable it all.
