If you haven't already seen Indie Game: The Movie it's basically 90 minutes of that. It's a pretty entertaining doc if you go into it with the knowledge that the movie was made by a guy who is partners with Phil Fish and idolizes everybody in the movie yet still can't not make them all look gross, creepy, or outright crazy.

Bob A Feet posted:If you don't hate Phil fish already watch this doc. It's pretty good overall minus ole Phil. If they ever make a sequel I really hope the Castle Doctrine guy is in it: rich trust fund scum who acts self-made, bragged about living off of $14k a year to show those dumb poors that it could be done only to later have it come out that he was lying and not counting the money he spent on health insurance and other things, and beat dogs with a stick and then gave away the stick as a prize in a contest.

I appreciate how now all the Let's Players/YouTube personalities use the exact same thumbnail (the title in bubble lettering + the person making a wacky face in the corner) so I know exactly what videos not to click on when I look up a game on YouTube.

Totalbiscuit is bad but in terms of sheer punchability I don't think anybody tops that obnoxious fat british guy who always has his gross fat clammy hands stuffed in leather gloves and tries really hard to co-opt fascist imagery but doesn't have the actual energy to speak above a quiet mumble.

Also I bought The Stanley Parable on sale and even then I felt ripped off. Like 80% of the game is identical to the original free HL2 mod only with better graphics and a few new endings. Considering how many videos they made and the huge demo they released it's almost embarrassing how little content is in the actual game.

Tomb Raider was a great game but a part of me still wants to play the early stuff they showed off where it was an open-world game on horseback with you fighting Shadow of the Colossus monsters.  Mercury Crusader posted:It's a fun game. The controls take a bit of getting used to, though. Maybe it's different on other platforms, I own the Saturn version. The Saturn version of the original Tomb Raider actually has hosed up textures because the Saturn used squares instead of triangles for polygons so as a quick fix they set the length of the extra line to 0 and it stretched everything out.

axleblaze posted:Also the Wii U pro controller is okay at best. It's basically a worse arranged 360 controller which was overrated as gently caress to begin with. The 360 controller was a godsend for the PC because the stars aligned and Microsoft actually succeeded in standardizing PC controller support for almost everything release in the past decade. Now if only they could figure out where to store saves so I don't have a Documents folder full of folders from games I installed years ago.

exquisite tea posted:I just can't get into any game nowadays that doesn't have high contrast and judicious use of color. My eyes get bored real quick looking at washed out brown/green landscapes, which unfortunately is the rule rather than the exception. I used to say this, then Borderlands 2 and Sunset Overdrive happened and I realized that conspicuously trying to be colorful and winding up with 90s Nickelodeon rainbow vomit in the name of being wacky and extreme is way worse.

I pretty much never pay more than $5 for games anymore and my Steam library is still growing faster than I can play through it so I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun to play when it hits a Humble Bundle 6 months from now.

sticklefifer posted:Has there ever been a party based WWII RPG? Or at least a tactics RPG? There are so many FPS, RTS, and strategy games with that setting that I figure someone must have tried a different game genre at some point. Operation Darkness was an SRPG set in WWII where you assassinate Hitler and also there are vampires and werewolves. It was pretty terrible. Shadow Hearts: Covenant took place during WWI but it was rad as hell back in the day.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:There's a difference between the way consoles usually get older and have less interesting new stuff, and the nosedive off a cliff the Wii took The Wii didn't have a lot of 3rd party support outside of shovelware minigame collections because it was both underpowered compared to its competitors and was built around a gimmicky control scheme that not even Nintendo was able to really take advantage of, and both of those are still true for the WiiU. The big difference this time is that they're letting more third-party devs use Nintendo IPs to try and pad out their library but on the other hand Nintendo is still figuring out how to work in HD which is why the first two years of the WiiU were such a wasteland as they shuffled their teams around and delayed games in the name of getting announced titles out the door on time.

Ekster posted:Gaming journalists love pretentious games that try to 'further' the genre into the mythical state of Cultural Acceptance no matter how shallow and dumb it is. All in a desperate attempt not to have to lie to hot chicks at the bar about their 'profession'. Ironically enough these games and gaming journalists have the exact opposite effect in practice. I heard that gaming journalists wear gloves on their feet and socks on their hands and use foodstamps to buy scratchoff tickets and have sex through a hole in a sheet.

Fergus Mac Roich posted:While it certainly sucks that people lost access to their thing(with no way to get their money back, I assume), games purchased in this way have been subject to bans and the like for a really long time. You'll get away with buying keys from such sites more often than not but you should know by now that this is one of the risks. I remember Valve doing this to people with shady grey-market Orange Box keys back in 07.
