I'd say the first few eps started off really good but man that was a classic falling knife edge case into awfulness really fast.

Got an e-mail from Gearbox about their latest idiotic venture.

"Project 1v1 is the code name for a top-secret, in-development, competitive first person shooter—and we want you to have a chance to be one of the first people to try it out! Project 1v1 combines the action of fast-paced 1v1 first person combat with the metagame strategy of a collectible card game."
So they'll only need one server for their install base then

Rez Infinite is coming to PC! There'll be announcement later today about this. Keep an eye on this Twitter page. They accidentally spilled the beans prematurely, so the actual tweet is unavailable.

Speaking of surprise announcements, TxK is finally escaping the Vita in an enhanced form as Tempest 4000.

Not a lot of details yet, but it's a Jeff Minter-developed Tempest clone game, we've done this dance enough to know what to expect.

It's been a great year for games. A great year for music. A great year for film. A great year for distractions from a world that really needs to be distracted from itself.

I wish I knew how Telltale worked, because their output is baffling. Walking Dead S1 was good and a success, which made them jump to this interactive novel style. Since then, the only thing they made that stood out was Tales From The Borderlands(which is spectacular); everything else ranges from "Eh" to "Never Play It".

iirc the change happened with Jurassic Park. It's not like Telltale were doing well before that though. Back to the Future is loving awful, for instance

Hellblade looks neat and unbelievably pretty. Can I run it with an AMD Radeon 7700 card? The minimum requirements are "Graphics: GTX 770 with 2GB VRAM / Radeon R9 280X 3GB" and I don't know whether mine is better than that.

Depends how minimum the minimum requirements are.

A 7750 or 7770 is older and lower range than a R9 280x.

It was supposed to be a first person shooter with CCG "elements" so probably borderlands but now all your bullets are cards you have to get in booster packs

If anybody here is ever looking for a metroidvania style game, I suggest looking into Mystik Belle. It isn't perfect, it's flawed, but it is a relatively small and short sorta metroidvania/adventure hybrid and it is also cute, good sprite work all around.

It feels way more like a compact adventure game than a true metroidvania but yeah its a fun couple of hours while it lasts.

I like exploring video game worlds. I like metroidvania games. I like hard games. I cannot get into La Mulana. I've tried 3 times and I bounce off it hard every time. Nothing about it feels good to me from the combat to the movement to the music. I wish I could get into it because on paper it should be one of my favorite games, but in practice is a boring turd. :(

Honestly I don't think you're missing much, and I played until fairly near the end. Some of the puzzles are cool, but a lot of them are just obtuse. I really like the idea of La Mulana, and if La Mulana 2 has better puzzle design it could be fantastic, but the first game is fairly overrated IMO. I think a lot of it is because it does things most games don't do anymore - unguided exploration and hard puzzles - but it doesn't do them particularly well.

2 big issues with for honor imo. Awful balancing. Ubisoft didn't balance or nerf any of the op poo poo. Defending is too easy while attacking is all risk without any reward.

No dedicated server on a "competitive" game is a deathwish.

I still like this first person sword genre like For Honor, Chivalry warfare.

Mordhau is coming out in early 2018, check it out.

I'm in the alpha, which is starting at the end of this month.

I'm keeping my eye on Absolver, which comes out at the end of this month and appears to have that same impactful combat feel as For Honor.
