Is it randomly generated like Diablo or are the levels designed?

Static, as someone already noted, and the non-hub ones are small enough to knock off a couple in an hour if you like.

To a degree yes, but all the in game videos I've seen for VR have a significant shaking. It would really ruin the experience for me I think. Meh, no biggie. Probably just me being nit picky.

I know a lot of the Giant Bomb crew has said a lot of stuff that looks strange on a 2d screen doesn't bother you as much when actually wearing the headset. They also said that the jerkiness of the camera isn't a problem as you are the one in control of it. I would assume the same holds somewhat true for the shaky hands.

"A certain X" is one of those stock phrases that often shows up in mediocre translations of Japanese media. Kinda wonder if it has a specific meaning that's omitted in the translation process, because it sounds fairly awkward in English.

Yeah, giving away Tropico 5 probably makes the publisher more money than trying to sell it at $15 or whatever, because they plan for you to buy any of the DLC. I'm still waiting for the complete collection to go down in price.

From what I can tell it says "A certain country" (とある国) in the Japanese description too. It's probably just one of those things where something flows normally in one language but sounds clunky in another, so you have to translate around a bit it to make it sound more natural.

Oh wow, this came out of nowhere for me and it looks really good. Pity to hear that there is no non-English with subtitles option as I think it would work better, but I'd want to play this just for exploring such a fascinating (and often overlooked) part of history. Is it a full game or is it going to be in chapters ala Tell-Tale's stuff?

To be fair, for launch day not that many headsets are actually out. They don't seem to have prepared very well, since orders are backlogged all the way through to May/June.

It seems to be released as the full game, there's no indication of any episodes, only chapters.

The Steam discussion boards they do want to do Farsi. I'm surprised it didn't come out with it, considering their basically the vocal talent was basically "all the Iranian-American actors."

On episodes:

quote:

Black Friday is designed as a complete, stand alone experience (story-wise and content both!) - we have future installments in development that will get produced after our indie budget allows us to do that. The characters of 1979 Revolution have lots more stories to tell! (And we’ve designed the game so that the decisions you make playing Black Friday will carry on in the future)

So "episodic if successful" which I guess is better than "episodic but we ran out of funding welp."

Okay, at least they're not going to leave us hanging if the game doesn't sell well enough to justify making more.

Tropico 5 is the same as 4 is the same as 3, but with updated graphics. Tropico 5 also doesn't have any big DLCs out so it's extremely bare bones. I wouldn't bother with it.

This is a significant step back from the 1st game and it's jarring to say the least.

Agreed about the very weird and janky contextual stealth, disagreed about everything else!

Having loads of fun collecting stuff and getting voiced lore dumps from them and I like shooting arrows at stuff!
Also, the tombs are just great.
