Digirat posted:I was gifted hyper light drifter without knowing anything at all about it, and I'm really enjoying it. The surrealism combined with virtually no text whatsoever (not even numbers) works really well. I enjoy surreal settings and imagery, and the game accomplishes a lot with its low-res presentation. I like having no idea what's going on. I've been hyping it ever since I started playing a few days ago, but it's one of my favorite games in years. I'm coming really close to 100%ing it and I love everything about it.

I'm like 13 hours into Hyper Light Drifter and only just realized that the skins actually have different effects. 😮

Nevvy Z posted:I haven't played this game in months and am in the south area. I would like to know more. Well what made me realize it is one of the ones you get for completing one of the game's larger puzzles, it gives you an extra tick of health . But then I looked it up to see if the other ones do anything and they all do. They do stuff like halve the stamina needed for attacks, shorten the time between attacks, stuff like that. And it only takes one piece of the set to get the effect, so you can have 3 effects active at once.

Gromit posted:I wish I could tell what was wrong with Path of Exile. My friends like playing it when we have a LAN night and I play along but it's just a snooze-fest for me. I can't get excited about it in any way, and maybe it's how atrocious the loot is? Most of my gear is from 5 levels ago and still outclasses anything I else I see. Maybe because the combat is so bad that you might as well be playing a spreadsheet? I admittedly haven't played it in like three years, but I was excited by everything I read about the game and then got in game and it was just a complete bore.

AfricanBootyShine posted:so is nier going to be the new dark souls in the manner that any criticism is met with a wall of defensiveness? cuz the not auto-save thing is straight terrible, a perfect example of artificial and unnecessary difficulty. The prologue thing is dumb but the game is good enough that people who don't play the game because of it are depriving themselves. I say this as someone who never played a Yoko Taro game and preordered purely because of Platinum.

The lack of a checkpoint does seem like one of those things that will get patched out in the first patch. Don't let it stop you from playing a great game, though.

Jamfrost posted:Okay, hold on, because I'm confused. Can I save manually during the prologue section because I didn't see any save points? Is it a menu thing? For reference, the boss owned me on Normal so fast with the juggle-lock that the healing item couldn't even trigger during the time slow thing. E: Nier. There are no saves at all during the prologue. Play it on easy if you want or just spam the hell out of the dodge move.

The Kins posted:They released at the same time as Overwatch, without the appeal of Overwatch, with worse/more grating marketing than Overwatch. The important thing was that it was a bad game.

Deakul posted:Unless the game changes dramatically with each playthrough then that's kind of dumb that story is locked behind that poo poo. The first playthrough is from one character's perspective. The second playthrough is from another's, with about half of the scenes overlapping. The third playthrough takes place after the events of the first/second playthrough. You're not actually playing the same game multiple times through, it's just presented in such a way that it can be described as multiple playthroughs.

I'm thinking of getting Dark Souls 3 in the Humble sale. Is the season pass worth picking up?

She Bangs the Drums posted:hey if you like baby games Platinum did Metal Gear Rising :Revengeance which has a pretty basic system I'm not ashamed to admit that while I liked Bayonetta, actually getting good at it was never appealing to me. The combat system is just too deep for my taste, or at least the game itself wasn't compelling enough to get me to sink the time in that getting good would have required. I beat it and think it's a good game, but I definitely liked stuff like MGR and Viewtiful Joe (if you count that) a lot more.

Soho Joe posted:I'm gonna finish 100%ing Hollow Knight today, but what will scratch my exploration itch next?? I've played La-Mulana and Cave Story, and Steam is suggesting Rain World, Dust, and the Ori re-release. Hyper Light Drifter. It's a Zelda-ish instead of a metroidvania, I know, but it's so so so good and it nails the exploration and puzzle mechanics of metroidvanias even if it doesn't have platforming.
