Code Jockey posted:I generally think I'm pretty good at Mega Man 2 and 3 [the only ones I ever play regularly] and 9 ate me alive. I don't think I've beaten a single robot master yet, though I usually pick it up, give up after like 20 minutes and shelve it for months. I'm in the same boat as this guy, as far as familiarity with classic Mega Man and (I'm assuming) age, and with 9 I actually made it to Wily's castle before giving up. Ten didn't really grab me the same way, I think because the novelty of a "new" classic Mega Man game had sort of worn off. Now, if someone at Tecmo wants to make a "new" classic Ninja Gaiden to make up for the travesty of NG3, then please, sign me the gently caress up.

I guess I just never really cared enough about the game, but now since filthy Europeans are getting it for free it causes my greedy American gene to act up and get indignant.

Crappy Jack posted:Avalanche is doing fine, they just released a top-down driving shooter game a few months back that did alright and there have been hiring notices going around looking for developers and coders to work on an unannounced open world game, so it's not impossible that there's going to be a Just Cause 3. Huh. That reminds me, also gently caress Europe for getting Renegade Ops for free. I would really like that game but not for fifteen bucks. Or a Wii VC release for Jackal, but  at the wasted potential of the Virtual Console.

Palleon posted:If it makes you feel any better, I borrowed it from a friend a few years ago and hated it. The world was too big, took forever to get anywhere, and on normal difficulty, I felt like I died way too easily. But hey, for free, I'll give it another shot, but I thought that it would have been a better game if the world was a lot smaller and it didn't take 10 minutes to drive from A to B. Also, the game had a gay party zeppelin, so I'm pretty sure your opinion doesn't count.

abagofcheetos posted:How are the other free games they gave away? Sideway, that zombie game, Choplifter... are they any good? I played the demo for Choplifter (which is actually pretty good sized) and I really enjoyed it. The gameplay is pretty much classic Choplifter, and it was probably one of my favorite games for my Atari 2600 back in the day, so it just really clicked for me. It's also one of the smallest free games they're offering right now, so if you have any interest at all, I recommend giving it a go.

Code Jockey posted:Is that what that thing is?! I was on top of a mountain once and saw what looked like a zeppelin in the wwwaaaay distance and was going to check it out, but ended up getting distracted by explosions instead. Yeah, it was by far one of my favorite gaming moments ever, especially since my buddy was there to witness it and reassure me that I wasn't hallucinating. But there I was, grappling onto the edge of a flying barge and strolling up to partygoers who were apparently being entertained by sexy dudes in biker caps and leathers.

GUI posted:Far Cry Instincts blew me away when it was released for the Xbox, too bad the expansion pack was mediocre and the Xbox 360 port had a reworked incredibly hard difficulty that made it an unfun chore to play. Instinct's powers mixed with Far Cry 2's combat, open world and weapon mechanics alongside a plethora of sidequests would be amazing. If they have the buddy system in place again, FC3 will be a day one purchase. But nothing we've seen seems to indicate that you can choose your character, so it seems like one of the neatest features of the second game isn't making it to the next.

With how decent both MW3 and Black Ops turned out, I'm actually skeptical that Respawn will do any better.

Yechezkel posted:No no, it was worse than that in some years. Don't forget the track packs that weren't suppose to be viewed as full games, but were sold as such. I don't think it's fair to classify the track packs as "full games." With the exception of the AC/DC pack, they could not be played without Rock Band, and they were never sold at full price (60 bucks). Also, it was most certainly in Harmonix's best interests to offer DLC in some fashion to the majority of console owners who do not have their console connected to the internet. The track packs were honestly a pretty neat idea to that end.

DO NOT APPLY. It's not worth your time or bandwidth in its present state unless you are genuinely interested in this title. I've been following Dust for awhile and am super intrigued by the concept.

Samurai Sanders posted:Years ago I thought this and I still do, but I think there should be a middleware company out there that makes models of cities for games. They'd be experts in reading google map data or whatever and making realistic versions of cities that game devs can then alter for their needs (for example, adding more gutters and wires and stuff if its a climbey game like Infamous). That way way more games could be set in real places, which would be awesome for even fantasy or scifi games. Who wants a fantasy game in the magical land of themubria or some poo poo when it could be set in post-apocalyptic Detroit or something. I think I should note at this point that both Deadly Premonition and Alan Wake feature dead on accurate representations of Washington State. Right down to our mysteriously expensive purple turkey sandwiches.

I felt like it would have worked better if it had been introduced much earlier in the game, but it kind of came out of nowhere. Also, Jack Kelso's character was a walking Noir cliche, so while he was perfectly fitting for the setting, I thought Phelps was a much more interesting character.

Well, poo poo. I'm in the middle of playing Walking Dead Episode 3 and I had to put it down for a minute. I want to say that it's pretty loving amazing that a game has actually caused me to make real decisions based on emotion, rather than something like Mass Effect where I just roleplay Space Jesus or Space rear end in a top hat. In this episode Lilly shot Carley in the face, and I was completely stunned. I had been trying to play mediator between Lilly and Kenny (seriously, gently caress Kenny) but I was so stunned at what Lilly did that I left her by the side of the road to become walker chow. Then, later, Duck was bitten and Kenny was (surprise surprise) being a complete fuckhead about it. I was so annoyed with him because of the way he had acted toward Lilly that I basically just treated him like poo poo and punched him until he stopped the train. I told him he should have the guts to put his own son down, but Katjaa insisted on taking care of it. After Katjaa blew her brains out, I told Kenny to man up and put his son down. This poo poo is intense and I can't believe how good of a job Telltale is doing at creating a believable story, with characters that are very human and relatable, and yet unrelentingly bleak at the same time. They've managed to grasp the "no one's safe" mentality of the comics perfectly, and I'm nothing but impressed. If you've been on the fence about this game, stop it. Get the season pass on PSN or Steam (or XBL, I guess, but it's the only one without any sort of discount at the moment), because this is why we play games.
