I’m willing to look past the art if it’s good. After all, Binding of Isaac became my favorite indie game despite literally being an ugly flash game.

SeANMcBAY posted:What’s the appeal of that Darkest Dungeon game? It looks like an ugly flash game from the few minutes I’ve seen of it. I don't get this because I think it has a really cool art style. Its animations are simple but the actual artwork is pretty great. Anyway it's a pretty difficult dungeon crawler type game where the focus is on leveling up your town to keep a steady flow of stronger heroes available, since people will die as well as accrue negative debuffs the more they go into dungeons. It's not the kind of game I thought I would like, but I finally played it last year and ended up loving it.

The art is in Darkest Dungeon is fantastic. The animations are all simple on a technical level but combined with great effects and sound design it becomes very visually appealing. Also since everyone is a flat 2D image the game is like grim Paper Mario which amuses me.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Does 9 parchments scratch that gauntlet itch? It sounds like it might be fun to lobby up online. It does indeed, to the point that I mentioned to my roommate that I had a demo of a Guantlet-like game and he made me buy it immediately (not a difficult up-sell) and made a similar mention of it to my coworker who made me play it with him immediately (the Switch is very good at such things) and bought it later that night. I have yet to play online though I've played an entirely worthwhile amount locally. cage-free egghead posted:Curious about this and is there any sort of progression? There is definitely progression, but it's a little bit weird. The game seems geared toward four players, but you only start with two different characters unlocked out of a total of 8. Each character has 3 different skill tress, only one of which is initially unlocked. Some of the tree-unlock criteria are easy and some seem very difficult. By the end of my first successful run-through I'd unlocked maybe 5 of the characters and a lot of the ones I just got already had two or three skill trees unlocked. I forget what level my characters were, but it carries over to the next run if you select that specific character as that player number. Otherwise they get boosted. There are also a number of cosmetic hats and minor-effect staves to be unlocked. That covers the across-games progression, which is motivation to play through it more than once. Within a run, besides leveling up, you unlock 6 spells (in addition to your starting 3), somewhat randomly offered at the end of each run. This gives a bit of variability even if everybody started in the same situation. tl;dr It's good fun though a number of aspects are unintuitive, but make some sense upon enough introspection. Given that I felt the same about Has-Been-Heroes, I'm think it's a developer tendency.

creationist believer posted:Yeah, I read an article where they showed some reporters the actual ToyCons and one of the things they did was set up those little targets and robot bug and covered it all with a box, and the game was to use the IR camera to find and knock them over. I always thought that thing in the right JoyCon was just some kind of IR sensor, I never knew it was a full-blown video-transmittable IR camera  .

When you brought up the Wii sensor bar calibration screen, what you were seeing was a video feed from the IR camera on the front.

Neddy Seagoon posted:I always thought that thing in the right JoyCon was just some kind of IR sensor, I never knew it was a full-blown video-transmittable IR camera The difference between an IR sensor and an IR camera is just a matter of resolution. The Wii remote was a low res sensor that was just tracking the orientation of two LEDs and the Wii console translated that to the direction angle you were pointing. The right JoyCon is much smaller and high resolution, but hasn't really been used for anything except fake sandwich eating until now. Some people in this thread said Oh... Sir! The Insult Simulator was worth $2. Is it like a standalone version of Monkey Island's Insult Sword-fighting? Because that would be worth $2 to me if cleverly written.

I'm not really that into Mario Kart, but god bless MK8. My three year old can actually finish a race with the AI assist. It was torture watching her try to play Wii Mario Kart, just running into a wall for 15 minutes. Thank you Nintendo for the greatest console ever.

How is Portal Knights, specifically split screen coop? I enjoyed the demo for Dragon Quest Builders but the fact that it doesn't do split screen multi is making me hesitant.

'cause I remember him trying to argue that SK is good because it has characters with actual personalities and feelings and stuff but then others pointed out that he was just describing generic anime archetypes lol

The most recent Vita games moved away from the more serious plot stuff from the 3DS games and are just goofy antics and have too many characters, that's about it. He takes that stuff hard.
