"TO BATTLE!"

Palpek posted:

Fun fact is that Alien: Isolation already natively supports VR and you can turn it on by modufying a couple of files. So nothing has to be manually set. People who played it said it was extremely good. Somebody else played the game with those subwoofer chair vibration thingies and swore that you crap your pants when the Xeno stomps around the room. Combine the two and you get guaranteed heart attacks.

I tried it with the CK2 a year or so back, and while it looks good, you need a strong stomach to play it. There's a couple of bits early on where the game takes camera control away from you, and I had to go lie down for 30 minutes afterwards.

Did your pastor come over and hold your hand and anoint your troubled brow with liniments and salves? Were you on a proper fainting couch after you got the vapors?

The Star Wars sale has "the complete saga" and "episode 3" for the exact same price. Is there a reason to buy the later over the former? Does the former not include the later for some reason?

I imagine a shooter, where the game starts you off in the traditional "urban combat" followed by some team taking out your team one by one, only to discover there is something else in the dark killing either side could be interesting.

The threat could be that this enemy could look like a traditional enemy, or be something else, and show up from anywhere without you knowing it. Check all the shadows just in case. Then you kill it, its not immortal, and for a while you are back to regular war just trying to get back to base, before poo poo starts again. Are there more? same one? how to approach?

They're different games. The Complete Saga is based on the movies while The Clone Wars is based on the animated series.

So, I just finished the snowman part of A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build (thanks, Humble Store Sale!), but now I'm wandering in the netherworld where a pillar tells me I'm at 0%, and I'm stuck. Can someone spoiler me what I'm supposed to do?

Okay, I figured it out. Judging by the first new puzzle, I'd say the game size is maybe 50% bigger, but the puzzle format is harder so it will probably take as much time to do that section.

How to access the new puzzles:
After you've finished, exit through the BOTTOM gate where you started.

How the new puzzles work:
Sleeping on the bench will show 3 large balls where the snowmen currently stand. Rearrange the snowmen in non-sleepy-world so that they're close together and you can reconstruct those three into a new snowman in sleepy world.

I'm afraid so.
I didn't really like it. The fighting was so simplistic it got really boring really fast, and there wasn't really a lot of complexity to any part of the game. I get that there's brutal combat animations and all but I'd seen them by that point, and over-the-top violence isn't really my thing anyway.

I looked at the city map halfway through and it was just an endless field of the chore icons spreading out forever in front of me so I closed the game. I'm sure it's better than grand theft auto or saint's row or your other Drive-around-fight-people-open-world-game genre entry, but I don't like that genre much so it wasn't for me.

I wish we had a proper Sleepy Dogs sequel at this point. It was fun to play from beginning to end, but after beating the story - the open world isn't that great to play around in. Just fun to drive.

The Kung Fu tourney DLC was fun, but short. Absolutely hated the Zombie DLC.

Actually it isn't because there's very few ways to cause havoc - guns are restricted and clunky and you only get to drive cars. Sleeping Dogs has a great story mode but the open-world aspects are underwelming at best.

How many open world games let you drag random people off the streets and then stuff them into the trunks of cars, or dive out of cars into other cars at high speed? While being a cop?

I liked finding random pockets of thugs and introducing their faces to the wall. Or if I was feeling cheeky I'd just drive straight into the crowd.

the triad wars f2p game was unsuccessful enough to cancel which obviously means no one wants a other sleeping dogs game, right.

:can: this is a bad derail even by my standards, but GitS would definitely have an asian actress if there were an asian actress who could pull even half the crowd scarlett does. If whitewashing is being forced to pick a white actress or not make the movie at all, then yes its whitewashing. It's a poo poo situation for everyone and reflects current american society pretty well tbh.
