Finished Tales from the Borderlands, goddamn that was a great game. Just excellent from start to finish - it's everything I like about the Borderlands franchise and nothing I don't.

Also I don't know if this was posted yet but there's a cool live map of Steam activity: http://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/ (switch to satellite view)       Yeah, that's a lonely dot in North Korea's Pyongyang. I guess Kim Jong Un is having some fun in-between dictator stuff. I wonder what he's playing though.

They are, but a lot of them apparently got The Colonel posted:I think Deus Ex was actually original gonna let you do that, they only cut out the whole UNATCO path because they ran out of money and time, but there's still fragments of dialog that implied it would be a thing. Like, a voice clip of JC Denton telling Paul "sorry, but i read the message and i'm still sticking with UNATCO" They tried again for DeusEx 2 and the result was a pretty resounding “meh” since it just changed who yelled at you at the end of a given mission, and basically just made for a slightly longer version of the “press button to choose ending” Deus Ex staple. I suppose the main problem is that, to do that, you essentially have to make 1.5 games (you get 0.5 for free because you can probably follow the same story beats on the same maps). But you have to create completely different scripts and scripting to play that story out, and all the audio and animation assets to make those paths happen. In DeusEx's case, it's probably also a bit harder since you have an unambiguously bad guy at one end, and a spectrum of slightly less bad people at the other. They would have had to completely rework Bob Page to make him a reasonable authority figure to follow, for instance — something more along the lines of Sarif in DX:HR.

Nuramor posted:Where did you see a price like that? I just see the 8% off resulting in 54,99€ for the base version. Mexico. Usually new releases in consoles are being priced at 1000 to 1300 pesos. Bandai Namco on steam has been pretty good with the prices, being 440 or so on new releases, Dark Souls 3 has a base price of 500 or so. With the season pass bundled, it is 735 WITHOUT discount. With the discount it is 693 pesos, which is a little above half what just the base game would cost me on physical release. For example: http://gameplanet.com/street-fighter-v-ps4.html En sucursal: $1,299.99 Online: $1,145.00 If I went to the brick and mortar store and bought SF5, it would be 1300 pesos, 1145 if I ordered online and went to pick it up/got it shipped. Dark Souls would probably be similar.

ImpAtom posted:I kind of lost interest in Luftrausers near the end because the challenges go from interesting to tedious. It's an awesome game up until that point but it never really hit that "just a little more and I can get that" spot and instead I just wanted to go play something else once it got beyond a certain point. The thing I'm remembering again to is that some weapons are just poo poo. Oh well, it's still fun in little bursts and I've unlocked everything but the Urauser.

Battlezone was such a brilliant game, and performed shockingly well for one of the very first FPS/RTS games. I put so many hours into just the demo, zipping around the moon and building swarms of hovertanks to follow me around like murderous armored puppies. PLATFORMEBRUARY 2016 1. Cargo Commander 2. Freedom Planet 3. Capsized 4. Knytt Underground 5. Rochard 6. NightSky 7. Canyon Capers 8. Intrusion 2 9. Mutant Mudds Deluxe 10. Teslagrad 11. Tiny Barbarian DX 12. Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken 13. Snapshot 14. Lunnye Devitsy 15. Wake 16. Cast of the Seven Godsends    Fifteen minutes was all I could take of Cast of the Seven Godsends. Rarely have I been so immediately and thoroughly repulsed by a game. I can't even bear the thought of loading it up again, and so I sit here struggling to describe my loathing based on mere minutes of play. But I assure you, it won't be as much of a struggle as playing the thing was. Cast of the Seven Godsends opens with your baby being stolen by some demon thing and stuck on some pulsating altar, and then you die maybe, except seven mutant people combine Captain Planet style to bring you back? It's not really important, despite your character having dialogues with all the bosses and at the end of every stage. You're trying to get to the end of each level, avoiding or murdering the bizarre cast of monsters that stand in your way. Your basic attack is throwing daggers, but pickups can change them to hammers, shuriken, maces, and so on. Collecting other powerups gives you familiars or lets you transform into one of the seven godsends, each with its own special attacks. It's not a bad premise, but the presentation murders its potential in gruesome fashion. I don't even know where to start... everything about CotSG feels wrong. The graphics are strangely blurry (the only resolution options are 720p and 1080p), badly proportioned, densely packed, and clash everywhere. The city level in particular is a chromatic fever dream of pastel backgrounds, bold enemies, fog effects, and washed-out platforms. The enemies are stiffly animated and glide back and forth like a GameMaker demo reel. Hits lack impact, sounds are missing, contact with platforms is iffy at best, and so on. Honestly the game feels more like a ROM hack than a retail product. By the end of my fifteen minutes I was starting to feel physically ill. I'm not making this up, some games just look and feel so wrong to me that I start to feel legitimately gross playing them. Even if you're not as sensitive as me, there's no reason to bother with this mess because levels get frustrating fast out of poor level and encounter design. The nicest thing I can say about it is that it feels a bit like one of those lost NES or Genesis games that no one heard of. But then I immediately regret bringing it to anyone's attention lest they attempt to play it, so maybe we're all better off forgetting about this one.

Mr. Fortitude posted:The Witcher 2 managed to have two major route splits which are radically different from each other but it's quite the undertaking. Then completely ignored one of them in the sequel, to the point where major characters don't get so much as a reference.  I did love that part of the Witcher 2 but I do wonder if the game would have been better served integrating both chapters somehow, rather than making them completely seperate playthroughs.

Mr. Fortitude posted:The Witcher 2 managed to have two major route splits which are radically different from each other but it's quite the undertaking. I think the few games that actually pull this off would've probably been better if that extra development time was spent on one main route with some deviations. I think a good example in this regard is the Metal Gear Solid series, where you have a lot of freedom when it comes to gameplay but not nearly as much when it comes to the story. What I'm saying it that it's probably not worth the extra effort for the vast majority of games.

So what's the consensus on Victor Vran? I normally don't like ARPGs that much but I liked Dungeon Siege 3 because of its focus on manually dodging poo poo as opposed to just clicking on monsters. How's it storywise and build flexibility wise? Are there clearly broken skills or can you just go with what seems fun?
