corn in the bible posted:i have not played onechanbara z2, but i've played the wii one. Shame this series never took off https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000OF4XYU/ I probably should play Onimusha Dawn of Dreams I've got before buying the Onechanbara, though.

 1. Banished 2. StarTopia 3. Imperium Romanum Gold Edition 4. Port Royale 2    I can't be the only person who's gotten a pirate ship or spaceship and spent all their time hauling junk around to sell. There's something quietly gratifying about buying low and selling high, and so there should be no surprise there are games that exist to scratch that itch. Port Royale 2 does just that on the surface, and then surprises you with several more layers of fortune-seeking options. You play an aspiring merchant in the Carribbean of the 1600s, starting with little more than a sloop and some sacks of money. Your ship will get you around to the many ports, each modeled in simple, charming Stronghold-esque 2D. The buildings that comprise each town determine what goods they produce from a list of about two dozen, and the rate at which they consume them. Your job, then, is to learn which towns need which goods, and where the best place to buy them up is. It's not as simple as finding a town that makes shirts and a town that grows cotton, though. Each location is constantly producing and consuming goods, and their prices are determined by dynamic supply and demand. So, if you bring a huge load of cotton to shirt town you might make a pile of money, but turn around and do it again and that cotton might be worthless because they haven't used up the first load yet. Success in the mercantile business means making circuits around the sea, picking up whatever you can at bargain-basement prices and unloading it at whatever port happens to need it. The world map helpfully displays what good a town needs the most at the time, but there are plenty of other trader that can beat you to the punch. The dynamic, living world of Port Royale is what keeps it fresh and entertaining, because not only will demand flip on you, you can be the agent of that change. Strike enough deals in a town and they'll grant you building permits to set up your own farms and workshops, allowing you to add new production sources across the map. With enough capital you can move away from buying and selling random goods and instead working your own supply chains for pure profit. You can have enormous merchant fleets at your disposal, moving around huge loads of goods or broken up across the Carribbean to beat the other traders to the punch. Somehow the developers didn't think that was enough, so if you want to eschew the merchant life for full privateering, even that's an option. Any ship can be designated a warship and outfitted with cannon and sailors to take on pirates or merchants of other nations, or even besiege and ransack ports. Governors in major towns will even give you missions to eliminate particularly troublesome captains if you need guidance. There's real-time combat between ships that's functional but basic compared to other high-seas simulators, and comes with the odd handicap of letting you command one ship at a time while your opponents have their full fleet. Still, the combat is an engaging and welcome addition atop the robust economic simulator, and it isn't even the only one. You can also choose to ferry around settlers and construction materials to help grow towns, gamble in the many taverns of the world, piece together treasure maps, and more. A series of four extensive tutorial scenarios will help you get a grip on the game, and then you have four challenge scenarios or the wide-open freeplay mode to enjoy. The chunky 2D graphics might not have aged very well but they certainly don't detract from the relaxed atmosphere, and the soundtrack is exactly what you'd want in a low-key trading sim. Anyone with even a passing interest in being a high-seas merchant is sure to find something to enjoy here.

Nah, that's Port Royale 3 which I've heard isn't as good as 2. Might be why there's such demand, not many people actually played it.

The Humble Narrative Bundle is pretty crazy Her Story Read Only Memories Cibele Pay more than average: Broken Age 80 Days Sorcery part 1 and 2 Pay $10 or more: Shadowrun: Hong Kong - Extended Edition I've wanted to play all of these games at one point or another, specially Shadowrun and 80 Days, and I don't own any of them! The only two I haven't played or heard of are Cibele and Sorcery, anyone have any comments on those? QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Jun 4, 2016 |

retrovirus: pretty cool i like 6DOF shooters but Descent Underground is taking forever to put in singleplayer so I guess I will just play this instead heavy fire: basically a mediocre on-rails shooter but that's kind of what i wanted after playing the COD games two weeks ago cause this feels like the idiocy cranked up to 100. the shooting does feel awful tho after i nap i'll probably play the snes games next. that's my story, like comment and subscribe

QuarkJets posted:The only two I haven't played are Cibele and Sorcery, anyone have any comments on those? The Sorcery! games are pretty cool and most people seem to agree. I don't like the combat mechanics that much but I was probably missing a trick or something. The magic system is needlessly overwrought but functional. You can also get them for free on cell phones if you use the Amazon app but you have fiddle with the stupid search to find the unlisted free version. I consider them visual novels done right. Most of the screen is dedicated to text as opposed to a small box at the bottom that fits like 2 sentences at a time. Its' focus on the story as opposed to the art really appeals to me as someone who reads books but I can see how someone who reads comics would prefer the opposite.

I hope you dont do this all month because youre making me want to buy Startopia (again) and reinstall Port Royale and I already have enough on my plate with Stellaris and Total War Warhamer and soon Hearts of Iron 4.  Also meowbot is totally selling me on Onechanbara. Also also freak futanari is clearly slacking off because I havnt seen a glowing review for Sakura Dungeon yet.

She Bangs the Drums posted:The Zyborne Clock is still a hilarious example of too many chiefs not enough indians. Ironically, if you know anything about Zybournian History, you'd know there was a game dev who wanted to help with the project, but was kicked off the team after saying maybe we should actually mak gam instead of just writing a bunch of bad steampunk fanfiction. (itds me. im the legendary zybournian game dev.) Zachack posted:Ok I'm not as down on it and the inventory getting bigger is good to know. Thoughts so far: Yeah, I'm not suuuper psyched about the intro either. The guy who recorded it has done super stellar work for me in the past, but when he gave me the recording, I was kinda under a super time crunch and just had to use it. I think he later told me that he was drunk while he was recording it, which, while being thematically relevant, didn't do huge favors for the already kind of stale sounding copy. Luckily, immediately after you slog through/skip the intro, you get to meet Blinky, Stinky and Clyde, who have some of the best performances of the game. The shack upgrades don't happen until you get through your first Cooler Run, but the first run isn't really as long as you might think. Guns don't unload. Sort of a dumb thing, but because enemies have unlimited ammo, it seemed weird that enemies would drop more or less ammo depending on the state they were in when you popped 'em. Mutamoms will explode into Mutapupae when they die, which are like Snarks from HL1 in that they jump around and chase any living creature around them. If they touch you, they stick onto you (you'll see you have a debuff called Pupa Love), slowing you down until they finally explode. Basically: don't shoot a Mutamom from too close. (If you loot the Mutasac from her, you can use the Mutapupae as a weapon and you'll have a much better idea of how they work once you use them on an enemy) EDIT: Also sorry for coming off like a shill before but I don't get anything from Duck Game getting any sort of success because though I "work for" Adult Swim, they're really just my publisher, so their success kinda doesn't have anything to do at all with me.

If Onechanbara does well I hope it means we'll see all of Suda51's games ported to PC. Shadows of the Damned and Lollipop Chainsaw are like if the Onechanbara series had a budget and Hollywood screenwriters writing the stories and dialogue.

If other Japanese games do well in North American/European PC markets then maybe we'll see some Suda51 ports besides Killer Is Dead. But probably still not

Tsyni posted:Is Assassin's Creed Rogue worth $15 in the humble bundle? I have only played the first maybe two Assassin's Creed games and thought they were all right. If you're feeling Assassin's Creedy my recommendation would be to grab Black Flag from the coming Steam Sale, it'll go for less than 10 bucks, probably more like 5. Rogue isn't a massive improvement on Black Flag, but if you enjoy Black Flag you can buy Rogue later. Black Flag is considered the best game in the series after AC2 and Brotherhood, anyway.
