Lurdiak posted:It's really funny that Sony is collapsing in on itself and no one seems to be aware of it at all since the PS4 is still doing fine. I don't know how many articles I've seen in the past few years about how loving bad Sony is doing. If anything people are just distracted by all the bullshit Sony Pictures has been going through in particular.

I feel like everyone passed up Pix the Cat but it actually is a great game on both ps4 and Vita. Trivially it's a bit like Snake plus Pac-man but it's much much more fun than that sounds, I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a fast paced puzzle game

Adam Bowen posted:Wow this month I get a free copy of Spelunky, a game which anyone even slightly interested in that genre has already owned for at least a year or more. Thanks Vita! Adam Bowen posted:I have a shitload of PS+ games on Vita and they're almost all really bad. The few good ones are games like Binding of Isaac which are already available on every gaming device so who cares? The Vita is hands down the best Spelunky platform, that's the point. Real hurthling! posted:unless you got it free in like september with ps+ its not worth the very high price they want for it also i'd say vita is superior because the d pad is much clickier and has less chance of misreading your input than ds4 where you can move left and right by pushing the down button too far to the side by accident. I would have agreed but I did get it free and I ended up having quite a few evenings of putting off much-needed sleep in order to play "one more round, okay, poo poo, that doesn't count, one more after this..." and so on. Knowing what I'd do now I'd pay for it tbh.

My understanding is that while 3ds has a sleep function it isn't phone-like like the Vita one, right? Imo the sleep function makes the Vita. I can wake up, grab my Vita from the shelf behind me, and be in a game of Luftrausers or wherever I was in Persona literally about 2 seconds later, and the Vita still has plenty of battery life.

The battery life is the phone-like part. I do not own a 3ds, I got a Vita because I didn't have to buy games for it. I might get a 3ds when the new one comes out or some time after but tbh I think Nintendo first party titles just don't hit me in the way that they hit other people. I love old Zeldas and Mario 3 and World are perfect video games but the newer stuff doesn't hook me based on my Wii and DS experience.

Lurdiak posted:If the loving creator of the game won't stand by it and gives it a self-deprecating title, that's a pretty safe bet. Part of me wants to believe anyone who would name their game something like that would actually be making something really kooky and innovative, but since it is definitely a zombie defense game, well...

I really had a lot of fun with Wolfenstein, great game Edit: Wolfenstein and Far Cry 4 aren't goon phenomena, those games got great word of mouth everywhere. In fact this is the only place I've seen real hate on them Fergus Mac Roich fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Feb 5, 2015 |

Adam Bowen posted:That is not even close to what I said. What I said was that good word of mouth is a meaningless metric because it is very easy to manufacture. You're going to have to get real specific with me about what you're saying because it sounds a lot like you're claiming there's a vast conspiracy of either plants or brainwashed people claiming things you don't like are good Edit: and metric for what? My original point was just that the word of mouth for those games here wasn't unusual

Okay, so to clarify: you don't think people are having real, legitimate fun, you think they're being bamboozled and not actually enjoying it. As a corollary, you think you are unaffected and can see The Truth About Bad Video Games. That's why you know Far Cry 4 and Wolfenstein are bad.

This is seriously really dumb. It's basically a tautology to say that people will be more ready to enjoy things if they know they're supposed to, but you're literally saying someone can be convinced to claim a game they *should* know to be terrible is GOTY by an ad. Meanwhile, you can somehow play it and know the difference. What do you think is more likely: ads have some effect but people have differing tastes, or ads have ALL THE EFFECT except on a video game megamind like yourself?

Accordion Man posted:The Darkness was also a really nice Starbreeze FPS and it was better than its source material. I haven't played that one, so maybe I should do that as well. I played The Darkness 2 which I felt was quite a poor game(fun fact: I bought it on the recommendation of the Steam thread, whom I assume did enjoy it for real).

Accordion Man posted:Starbreeze had nothing to do with 2. The first game also has a conclusive ending and really didn't need a sequel. Its only available on PS3 and 360 though. Oh yeah, I got the whole spiel from my friend after I played it about how bad 2 was, partly from drawing a little more directly from the terrible source material. I have both a ps3 and 360 so I should be set.

krampster2 posted:Hello chat thread. I have decided I am going to play every single game in my Steam library. I have 177 games and will do it in alphabetical order. I don't play 99% of what I own so I'm basically resorting to forcing myself. This is going to be a fun adventure. Commit to just playing some percentage of the average time on howlongtobeat.com rather than the whole thing or the first bad game will be a showstopper.

Sleeveless posted:RSS used to be the poo poo before everybody got greedy and crippled them because reading an article on your RSS feed instead of on their site meant they were missing out on that sweet sweet fraction of a cent from ad banner views.
