Maybe a weird question, but: does What Remains of Edith Finch have multiple endings, or is it always the same one?

Picayune posted:Maybe a weird question, but: does What Remains of Edith Finch have multiple endings, or is it always the same one? I saw it best described as a magic realism novel in game form. There's not a surplus of hidden objects or trinkets to find and a small handful of achievements. It's a game meant to be experienced in a single sitting. This quarantine hell-world is finally breaking me of by crippling backlog anxiety and I'm getting to play some good games. The Legend of Korra is nice, if pretty short and has at best 10 minutes of story material. It's clearly a time attack/score attack arcade type game and the combat definitely keeps pace with the game to remain fun up until the last level. Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death is a low budget 80s action movie game where something is exploding almost every few seconds while you murder your through armies of mining corp security and giant bugs. It's clearly made on a very tight budget but is just goofy enough to maintain a sense of enjoyment especially with all the trash talking from the death mask to the main character. Prey 2017 was outstanding one of the best games in recent years and Doom 2016 was a fun murder-fest that started to drag on in the last 1/4 but kept up the momentum to make it worth beating.

John Murdoch posted:Famously the PS1 Aliens shooter was docked points in reviews for its decision to use such a terrible and unorthodox control scheme. I found the review in question: https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/alien-resurrection-review/1900-2637344/ quote:The game's control setup is its most terrifying element. The left analog stick moves you forward, back, and strafes right and left, while the right analog stick turns you and can be used to look up and down. Too often, you'll turn to face a foe and find that your weapon is aimed at the floor or ceiling while the alien gleefully hacks away at your midsection. Add to the mix a few other head scratchers - such as how the triangle button controls item and health use - and you'll be wondering how Sony let this get by without requesting a few different control configuration options. Lol quote:Fans of console first-person shooters or the Alien film series will probably be better off waiting for Fox's recently announced Aliens: Colonial Marines for the PlayStation 2. While no concrete details have been announced for the game yet, this is one instance where the unknown is preferable to the devil you know.

Receiver 2 is coming out in seven days. As for No Man's Sky, the option to scale your resolution while keeping the UI sharp should be mandatory in every game, especially every Anno game.

Party Boat posted:I think the earliest FPS I remember which did left stick movement and right stick aiming was an optional control scheme for Quake 2 on the PS1. It felt so alien back then! IIRC Goldeneye on the N64 had a twin stick style setup if you had two controllers. I've only read about it as doing something as out there as using 2 separate devices to control things seemed like such an alien concept when i owned an N64.

Lord Lambeth posted:You have very high standards or the game was never for you if you think halo is poo poo. Maybe I would like it more now with having the benefit of hindsight, but the sentiment among gamers back then was pretty much "this is what the future of shooters looks like" and I would have none of that.

It had a regenerating shield with the same effect. I enjoyed Halo when it came out, mostly for the co-op campaign, but there were certainly some cool moments. I recently tried the MCC via Gamepass and played through Reach and felt it was awful. Halo had a certain clunky charm and the fact that it was so new and impressive at the time got it a pass on the clunkier aspect like the slow movement and the gliding Warhog. The setting played into this too. Since you were cut off on an alien Ringworld you had to make do with what you had, and the Chief being a lone supersoldier just slogging through the aliens with minimal contact with other humans reinforced that feeling. Only having two guns meant you often ran out of ammo and had to find alien weapons, which highlighted the lack of support you had, etc. Reach felt like the film adaption of a cartoon show. Everything is still goofy and impractical but now you're expected to take it seriously. Or perhaps it's like in the Star Wars prequels where all the younglings are doing the helmet/droid training that Obi improvised for Luke - what had seemed like an ad hoc solution is now presented as standard operating procedure. There's big battles with dozens of Warthogs charging at 20 Ghosts while they drift and slide around. There's constant terrible gritty dialogue. You're in a huge military base but you still can't just pick up weapons and ammo before a mission. The story is dumb and has constant drama and twists just for the sake of having drama and twists. At some point you become a space fighter pilot and the UI really isn't made for it. Somehow a squad of 6 supersoldiers feels far weaker than just the Chief in the first game.

It is kind of a meaningful distinction, since health packs + regenerating shields is a way more interesting design than just regenerating health alone.

I need help. I've discovered a love for playing spider solitaire and freecell solitaire, and I have no idea what the best programs for this are. I tried the Windows 10 solitaire app, but unlike previous versions of windows, it's a goddamn mobile app where you have to pay a monthly fee to make the advertisements go away. So: where do I get my solitaire fix? Is there a good game on steam? Uplay? Elsewhere? I don't care what launches it as long as I can knock out a couple rounds and maybe play some klondike solitaire too. I am willing to pay money, but I want to own it, not pay rent.

Faerie Solitaire is also available on Steam. It's solitaire, but you can also level up to do... something? I have no idea. I never even tried.

Halo PC was great, I played the hell out of it in multi. I was even in a clan back when those existed Darkrenown posted:Somehow a squad of 6 supersoldiers feels far weaker than just the Chief in the first game. This is incidental to your complaints about the game but your squad of six supersoldiers ARE weaker than Chief. You're all lovely discount John Halos made on a budget except for a single guy who explodes on the alien carrier.

I don't mind a little combat. As someone who explored it early on and "beat" the game, it was relaxing and fun. It current version is a little too complicated for it's own good, but there is more to explore now. Someday I'll jump back in again.

I'll play devil's advocate here and say that if you just want to build stuff/explore it's worth checking out on sale. I've come back to it after some of the last few patches and I've been pretty pleased with the trajectory of the game since launch. The building is pretty fiddly so I haven't built a ton of stuff outside of the things you need to get a base going but they've fleshed that out quite a bit since launch as well.
