My friend bought me a game called Star Ruler, it’s a space 4X. He assures me that you can automate just about everything in it because it’s more interested in macro stuff, sounds right up my alley!

al-azad posted:Yeah, King Dice is straight up an homage to Dice Palace in Gunstar Heroes which is a pretty divisive level because you'll either blaze through it with little difficulty or get stuck fighting a bunch of joke bosses including a humanoid pile of curry rice that you can only damage by throwing. I mean I don't remember about Gunstar Heroes but it's pretty easy to just time the dice parry to get the roll that you want and just tank the actual fight with King Dice.

Yeah its not hard especially with parry charm. They should have done all the dice rolls up front though and presented the fight with no loads imo

The first game I beat this year was The Evil Within + the DLC and I really liked it but the story was kinda confusing.

The first Evil Within definitely has a lot of "what the gently caress just happened" moments when you transition levels, but it's so discombobulated that I don't blame people for finding it confusing or annoying. The levels don't flow together and so the attempts at dream logic fall flat. It'd have been better if you had a large location that randomly sequenced into new terrain -- open a door and fall into a desert map, only to stumble through a trapdoor back into the basement of the mansion you'd begun in, something like that.

I dunno which one I preferred, but I liked that both Evil Within games felt like distinct experiences. Both were enjoyable IMO.

The first game would be infinitely better if they just got rid of traps. gently caress traps.

I wanted more traps, I feel like EW would have been better if they embraced the "take out large rooms full of enemies in clever ways" concept, and let you set up traps, draw enemies out, go from horror movie victim to horror movie monster as you lure them into your traps...

I heard the Giant Bomb GOTY podcast devolved into a horrific hilarious mess this year but idk if I can parse through a 3 to 4 hour podcast. Who the gently caress listens to a 3 hour podcast.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkFgN-brawI this game is cool so far. im sure this isnt news to anybody who posts on this website, bc of its history with SA. but im finally getting around to playing the series and I dig these early sections, even if it still has that issue that every VN on the planet has where they repeat information like 3 or 4 times in a row.

I heard some stupid poo poo about several members of the show saying stuff like "I'm not leaving this room until XYZ is ranked this" or like "this is my line in the sand and gently caress you" so it sounds amazingly more petty than the past casts they've done

Listening to the GB people deliberate was a little bit like listening to crazy people talk where they used measured, rational sounding language to arrive at totally nonsensical conclusions like Getting Over It being shortlisted for GOTY.

Yeah that's why the personal GB lists are better than the official site list.

Jeff Gerstmann has said before that they do it this way, and show every minute of deliberations, to show how arbitrary and political the editorial lists from sites and magazines really are and that they are really not something to put faith in as gospel

They could have also... not done any of that and just let contributors draw up their own lists.

In Training posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkFgN-brawI They're real fun (or at least the first 2-- haven't played 3 but heard good things) . I have some issues with the presentation too (like how sometimes the filler side stories drag on and on and on) but the actual mysteries get pretty weird and the gameplay sections are very creative. As a fellow VLR fan you're gonna rly enjoy these

Oh yeah and the semi-voiced dialogue (where VAs don't actually read the text in the box but just say "Okay!" or "Yeah!" whenever their character says something) drives me up the fuckin wall lol

I would take a quick guess and say that GOTY lists/content usually does pretty good for sites business-wise.
