Please be careful and don't read the following spoiler about Overworld for the WII.

overlord wii is just like


gently caress it nobody's gonna care if I spoil that game

so the setup for overlord wii is that your dad went off on an adventure in search of money. your big brother and big sister are bullies towards the main character, but then the main character gets the power to control the minions so you start on your conquest while your dad's out. your big bro is friends with the elves, your big sis is friends with the dwarves. a lot of what you're doing is leading up to setting up the big war between the elves and the dwarves so that you can pit your brother and sister against one another and then take them out while they're weakened. so you take out the general of the dwarves and frame the elves for it, and take out the general of the elves and frame the dwarves for it, and the generals were best friends with your older siblings so now your older siblings are gonna go to war with each other.

and then a cutscene plays saying that they went to war but got bored of it and stopped while the elves and dwarves kept on fighting, and when your older siblings got home, you had already taken over everything else so you made them your servants and waited for your dad to get back

It's really good. There is a not-inconsiderable group of people who trash talk the game because it's so good and effective that it makes them feel uncomfortable.

They actually trash talk the game because it feels weirdly pornographic.

It's a variation of the horror movie aspect, danger/violence/sex all wrapped up into one experience. Thing is, you don't have to dig that vibe to enjoy the game because it's also just a fun game with a cool lead.

I keep meaning to play the Tomb Raider reboot, it's been sitting in my Steam library for a long time now. Is there anything worth caring about in the next-gen console versions, or is it just graphical enhancements and DLC bundling?

The game set out to make player death feel uncomfortable and succeeded. Whatever ulterior motive you assign to that is on you.

Mattel apparently oversees every aspect of it and is more extreme than DC Comics with the whole making it all homogenized and not allowing branching out or new ideas.

Barbie is literally their only big brand name they have that is not a scam linked to Mattycollector.

Mattel owns Dinoriders and has sat on that since the early 90's when they bought up TYCO and has done jack loving poo poo with it.

Yeah, I was gonna mention that too, but I didn't know for sure. Not that there's much in the way of that kind of low-budget licensed game anymore - mobile sort of took over that, for better or worse.

They don't even allow barbie to have transforming vehicles anymore. They were deemed too expensive or too strange.

This is why Hasbro just crushes them every single quarter

Also Game Developer barbie better come with a Desktop PC because good luck rendering poo poo on a Laptop. Great way to start a bonfire though.

playing This War of Mine on PS4 and it's a lot more engaging with a controller somehow. it makes the scavenging stuff a lot more fluid too, especially combat. becoming Polish Batman is easier than ever.

also the new kid content is neat. just beat the initial scenario on my first try with no one ever getting sick or hurt :cool:

The only problem i have with the deaths is that there's no specific ones for fall damage. So you have these visceral, intense deaths, and then you have lovely ragdoll deaths that make me laugh due to the contrast.

Also Lara is pretty rad, though i will always hate the whole trope of "One survivor with attitude ignores our protagonist who has done almost everything and displays near omniscience"

And in my opinion, anyone who trash talks the game for the deaths needs to suck less. The platforming which is over half the game is all straight forward and controls well, so it's not difficult.
