house of the dying sun was pretty tight. Wasn't it made by just one guy as well? Was a very good proof that a lot of stuff is just bloated by large development teams, this thing oozed more creative feel than a lot of things out there despite being super short.

you need the huge dev teams to add the hundreds of 'collectibles' that bury the good 5% of the game

you know fair enough i’ve been focusing more on busting poo poo up with telekinesis than actually shooting, which I only do to finish people off or wait for my psi energy w/e to replenish. good poo poo

no loving joke, last I looked there were 27 pages of links on the 'your bundle games' link they sent out, it's now 51 pages? :eyepop:

i’m probably going to sleep on the deal because i do not already have an itch.io account and it sounds like a drag to navigate just for the 2-3 games i don’t already have but want. back when i was a poor student with more time than money i would have loved this kind of thing though

Hardspace: Shipbreakers is a nice relaxing game that just went to early access today. It’s on sale for a little bit. It’s rather soothing to float around breaking a spaceship into its constituent parts.

take 2 turbofucked the devteam by breaking the contract with the studio which went bankrupt as a result, meanwhile they approached the studio's employees directly to re-hire them to finish the game

only some of them took them up on the offer and there's gotta be a lot of bad blood resulting from such a dick move

I put a pin in my unplayed games list again - Hard Reset (Redux) - yeah this is a throwback to old-school linear corridor shooters and no mistake (I don't remember the last time I had healthpacks instead of health regen). The rainy cyberpunk setting is decent and atmospheric, but the weapon loadout is anemic at best and the enemy roster is somewhat thin on the ground, I think maybe 8 different types, and two of those are just flood trash. I read it's only about 5 hours in total so I'll continue on to see the end. Usually these days I like to have a game with a story and while this does, its kinda obscure so far - maybe it'll all wrap up later on.

i got the halo master chef collection and man, original halo is not as good a game as i remembered. miles and miles of literally identical corridors and arenas, tons of one-hit kill bullshit, not enough ammo, really inaccurate weapons, and the checkpoint system is super dumb and only saves at some random point in the middle of nowhere instead of after a big battle so you have to keep playing the same fight over and over again.

i guess it was a huge deal in 2001 and it was the first real shooter on a console after goldeneye, but ugh

it is pretty cool how you can press tab in the middle of the game and it instantly switches between the original graphics and the remake ones, though
