just finished buddy simulator 1984, one of the latest entries in the undertale/pony island "a game is self-aware and a little spooky" subgenre. the idea's become played out but the underlying architecture of the game itself is really well-done and it doesn't outstay its welcome, unless you want it to, which i don't definitely worth the tenbux i spent on it

dunno if anyone here was on the edge of their seats over boyfriend dungeon but it’s, fine the dungeon gameplay is worse hades; while it can feel fun to smash crowds of enemies and it’s cool to unlock new weapon mechanics as you hang out with them, the game isn’t demanding enough for you to notice half the effects you unlock, and also not tight enough to make you wish there was more difficult content the characters are also a mixed bag; quality varies heavily between the (pretty short) routes leaving some feeling a lot more complete and coherent than others. the one where you literally just hang out with a cat is probably the best written, take from that what you will the game also feels incomplete - there are only two dungeons, and two of the stretch goal characters aren’t even in the game yet. (One literally introduces himself and then leaves the game five seconds later, which is hilarious for all the wrong reasons) despite this post being mostly complaints i had fun with the game - but it’s short and mostly shallow. I 100% completed it in seven hours and can’t recommend it full-price pre-update the main plot also involves the main character being stalked and harassed by an awful dude so not everyone’s cup of tea there

pentyne posted:Always Sometimes Monsters: Looks interesting, but completely failed to engage me after 10 mins. The RPGmaker-ish aesthetic is hard for me to get past, and while the game seems to have quite a lot of praise and love for its story and writing, I'm just not feeling it. Maybe it really is a great story but the plot and the subject matter are something I really can't enjoy or get into. The whole idea of chasing down your ex to win them back when they're about to get married is....problematic to me. I get the impression there's more complexity to that, but with all games available to me to play I'm not going to play one like this. Oh boy, I met the dev of this game at a house party the last Xmas before covid and boy was he a weirdo. He was very vehement that age of consent laws. meant that having sex with 16 year olds was a reasonable choice for a grown adult. Doesn't surprise me that his game is also about being a fuckin creep lol.

It's Always Sometimes Monsters as the first game. It had a bunch of Canadian writing awards from 2014 and had that indie darling energy, but gave off a weird vibe given the plot and how multiple reviewers were like "the ending is weird as gently caress" about how of you don't win your ex back you automatically get a "bad" ending. quote:Always Sometimes Monsters quote:Sometimes Always Monsters is a narrative roleplaying life simulator filled with choices. Just something about the theme and overall presentation puts my teeth on edge. pentyne fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Aug 14, 2021 |

Man, Hellpoint is such a weird game. I've been playing through it over the past week, and the art & sound direction are so good that I really wish the gameplay had been anything other than a janky souls clone. With all the platforming and hidden stuff it could almost have worked as a straight metroidvania, although I find it so brain-breakingly hard to navigate as-is that I'd hate to see it with more explicit navigational roadblocks.

And that is Axion Verge the First Done and Dusted, with the additional ending scene. Not going to lie, there is a quite a bit of annoying poo poo and the final boss is terrible, but all in all a really good game.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:which one was "Kill all the Haitians", might want to take another pass at that That was Vice City and they pulled it a long time ago. They already patched out music from San Andreas over licensing. Any remaster is probably going to lose more, and I'm sure plenty of other questionable dialog will likely get edited or cut.

Axiom Verge 2 gives you a compass really early on in the game but I didn't actually understand how to read it or what it meant until I looked it up after the end credits

Risk of rain 2: do any of the Huntress's upgrades give her a heavy attack? I'm having trouble with my controller situation so I kind of need her auto-aim (not even a little bit of a aim assist in this game) but she just doesn't hit very hard

You have to beat stage 3 without losing any hp, at all, the entire time you're there.

Finished Axiom Verge 2 Superb music, great graphics, cool world building, interesting story that builds on what happened in the first game, however What a loving obnoxious tease of an ending, what the hell man  Also my game actually crashed during the post credits scene, so I had to redo it. First I figured I'd just go check the tubes/streams and watch it that way... ... no one else has the cutscene I saw  I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, I replayed it and finished it without crashing, cutscene played again after the credits. None of the videos I could find online displayed it. It was basically a very small coda to the main story, but again... not a satisfying way to close out what was built up. Mixed feelings on the story as a whole because of this

Terf poo poo started here because of 1) a popular forum called 'mumsnet' used by parents to get help bringing up their kids and 2) lots of money from American Evangelical sources I don't think either will have influenced Rockstar much.

That’s like a running theme for Rockstar though, GTA4 had a ton of off-colour trans jokes that were duds even at the time. I remember young me playing it on release and being confused, thinking: “is this supposed to be funny?” “Why do they keep making these weird jokes, is there something I’m not getting?”

seanbaby summed up the "humor" in GTAV thusly but it applies to IV almost as well:quote:Each [joke] follows the same two-step structure: Clearly explain what it's mocking, then nothing else. It'd be almost sad if it wasn't so mean-spirited...GTA attacks with no wit. And when you mock something without wit, you're just a cranky bully. there's not a single gag in the latter two GTA games that comes within a mile of the "I'm blind"..."No poo poo!" exchange between Woozy and CJ

Pinged the AV2 dev, apparently its based on item %, not total 100% across the board, so I guess I was close enough that it triggered, but the other videos I dug up didn't show it. Strange for sure. Anyhow, good stuff. For anyone who likes the general vibe (not necessarily the gameplay) of AV 1 and 2, check out Biomass on steam. It's rougher around the edges, but the world building is superb https://store.steampowered.com/app/1138960/Biomass/
