Fuzz posted:Same, although I stupidly missed Jotun last week and am annoyed at myself over it since that is one of the games that actually interested me. it's definitely pretty, but it does not even come close to holding your hand. there's an early bit where you're like "geez i don't want to gently caress up the world tree but it's blocking my way and i'm not seeing any way around it" the solution, of course, is to perform the strongest attack you've got, which you've never had to use yet, to get the roots out of the way. Not how I expected the game to go and I've sidelined it after the first true boss: there's the whole zone that appears to be made for defeating bosses and the first with the ground tentacles and poison areas put me off.

FFT posted:Is The Escapists anything more or better than what Prison Architect has to offer for that game mode? The trailer suggests storage of items for use for later (and I don't recall Prison Architect having a grappling hook). Its initial release was noticeably after the semi-public alpha for PA and seems a bit simpler and like a game mode that was demanded by the testers of PA which did eventually came out but not quite as quickly as a developer I've never heard of put out a prison escape game. Yeah, it's a lot more expansive. There's crafting, a bunch of viable options for escape, basic favor mechanics with individual prisoners, and a bunch of other stuff. You don't just grab an axe to pop the first guard you see with a shotgun and kill everyone else with that. Also it has its own prison editor for custom maps.

I tried out The Escapists, after winning a key for it from someplace or another. It seemed pretty fun at first. I noticed that guards would chase me and knock me out if I did oopsies like take a guard uniform out of laundry, or accidentally start a riot in the cafeteria. Then, I stumbled across a fight between a guard and another prisoner, which ended with the guard being knocked out. I figured it was a perfect opportunity, so I grabbed the guard's key and made it back to my cell unnoticed to plan my next move. I then got a message saying the warden had put me into solitary confinement for stealing the key. I guess the warden must have used his psychic powers to figure out I did it, and then used the same psychic powers to teleport me directly to the solitary confinement cell. I mean, why not send guards to knock me out like any other time I break the rules? And how did the warden know I had the key? If the rules of your game just sometimes arbitrarily don't matter, then I'm just going to stop playing it, and also recommend that nobody else does either. So yeah, don't play The Escapists.

Thanks for saving me from wasting my time. While a bunch of the free games have been great (nuclear throne, overcooked was so fun I immediately bought the sequel), or else nice little things to blast through once or twice (Gato Roboto) some were dire and I had to teach myself to just stop rather than powering through for completion's sake (I'm looking at you, surviving mars).

I remember that game caught one of CGW’s incredibly rare 0 star reviews. Like, there were 3 of them in the magazines 30 year history rare. The image rehabilitation it had online in the last few years has been baffling.

I thought the Gamergate thing was something the now-fired GoG social media chud did to promote a sale on the game and had nothing to do with the actual devs? Regardless, Postal 2 is the kind of bad game that's so bad it's actually interesting and with 15+ years.of distance I view the racism in it as a historical artifact of the times in the same way that Superman beating up "Japoteurs" or Deus Ex having anti-government terrorist militias as the good guys.

If you had stolen that key in Escapists 2, the guard would notice his key was gone when he woke up and the entire place would go into lock down. Guards would then search everyone's cell, and anyone caught outside of their cell during lock down would be put into solitary.

Right, you can't blame Running with Scissors for being racist because as we all know, everybody was racist 20 years ago, that's just the way things were. You really can't blame them for being racist in their currently in-development postal game, either, because everyone is racist now. It's historical context for history in the making.

The one weird positive thing I can say is that their emphasis on blood and vomit and piss lead them to create a (very wonky) fluid dynamics physics system that I haven't seen any other game do.

John Murdoch posted:They literally had Milo show up in one of the expansions. Not to get too much into playing Devil's Advocate, but given Milo's habit of "Ironic" YOLO spending which has personally bankrupted and Running with Scissors being a small independent studio, I would not be surprised if he just paid them to be in the game. It's also kind of fitting, a lovely edgelord idiot having a cameo in a lovely edgelord idiot game.

Calling him an edgelord downplays quite a bit how at the time he was getting his money from bannon and the mercers literally to make Nazism palatable to 20somethings

He has a gay bar that you're tasked with shooting up. It's what makes me think that he paid to be put it, most of the other tasks you do are mundane things like "pick up toilet paper" or "cash paycheck" but his is literally "shoot up gay bar" it rather jarring to see.

I hope Subset Games get a good compensation for this giveaway. Into the Breach is a great game and one of my favorites last year. So far, with FTL and Into the Breach, they're at two out of two flawless record of releasing solid excellent titles. Hopefully we'll see more great things from them.
