My problem with Gungeon is that it looks like a transparent Nuclear Kings knockoff. I know NK shouldn't have a monopoly on twin stick shooter roguelikes, but the art style is so similar it's all I can think of.

It's a really fun game and I prefer it to NK so far.

Haha holy poo poo, I got so confused when somebody replied and called it NK. Completely unrelated, Nuclear Throne is a cool game.

AbDomen posted:Counter-opinion: it's a fun little choose-your-own-adventure game where the worldbuilding text *is* the game. Actually making it back to London in 80 Days is trivially easy, so if you don't enjoy reading about what your character does along the way, it's admittedly pretty boring. But it is pretty decently written and lets you get up to all sorts of antics in an alternate-history world. Sorry it wasn't what you expected, I guess?

This Vive stream is great. I don't have a mountain of disposable cash to burn but if I did I'd definitely go with this over the Rift.

Xander77 posted:It's a stat management game with a bunch of world-building text thrown in. I've made my way to India, and still haven't actually done poo poo. It's basically the exact opposite of Sorcery in terms of everything / anything that could conceivably make it fun. Ah,sorry to hear that. I can get it refunded,if you want.

Nuclear Throne is 30fps.  Gungeon is not.  Is Gungeon looking like a good time so far?

Once a game in a genre is made, you can never make a similar title ever again. Them's the rules.

Xander77 posted:You know what's a game with good writing, lots of worldbuilding and a steampunk-ish aesthetic? Sunless Sea. Guess what your character does in Sunless Sea? LOTS. The two really don't need to conflict. This is a weird comparison, because Sunless Sea is an awful boring wasteland where you mostly just see water and get bored, while 80 days is a fun CYOA where you're constantly making choices.

also, palpek, i hit one of the bosses and watched a vid of the pc version to compare. so i can say he was indeed redone in the ps3 version. instead of stein just standing on a platform and you shoot him, you run up, dodge some bullets, do a qte. area looked redesigned too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye-vltEd0pE

The two really don't need to conflict. Sunless sea is a game that gates itself behind terrible trade mechanics. The only proper way to play that game is to cheat in infinite money and ignore all that poo poo while you read your lovecraft novel.

How much of a drag is collecting all the stars in Talos Principle? I'm getting near the end of the game and have picked up about half a dozen on the way.

Some of them are simply hidden behind annoyingly hard-to-find geometry instead of actual puzzles so I wouldn't blame anyone for getting a guide.

It looks like a lot of fun moving around vs the Oculus' "your head is now the camera" offerings. Audioshield looks cool. Space Kablooey fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Apr 5, 2016 |

Doctor Spaceman posted:How much of a drag is collecting all the stars in Talos Principle? I'm getting near the end of the game and have picked up about half a dozen on the way. The regular puzzles are in clearly defined spaces; most of the stars are ill-defined "What am I supposed to do?" sorts of things that require you to break multiple puzzles simultaneously. Follow a guide.

Okay, I went ahead and beat the HunieCam Studio game 3 times. My review is here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Jamfrost/recommended/426000 Overall, please save your money for something else. After the first hour or less the game feels empty. If I had to measure its depth using water, it would receive a "Somewhat Moist Soles."

Is it just me, or does the constant shaking of your hands (or their equivalent) in the VR games really annoying? I know this is still kinda "new", but you'd think they could have programmed that better.
