I bought some Nikes, went to the local barcade, played LOTR pinball and got smoked by my bud as usual, played through the Xmen arcade game, then went home and got sick till 4am.

LOTR pinball is so good and the one bar where I used to live that had it did a poo poo job with maintenance and the flippers weren't strong enough to ever make the ring shot. There was also a Simpsons Pinball Party where none of the upper flippers worked . loving tragedy

Man I would kill for a portable version of DROD...... maybe it would be a little awkward on a phone because it's so dependent on the numpad stuff but it's turn based so who cares how clunky it is. I love the mechanics but it feels more like the perfect coffee shop game than something I'd wanna hunker down with for a long play session at the computer.

I don't know where else to put this but Pac Man Championship Edition 2's existence leaked this weekend.

Hate to bump this on a Tuesday but have you played Pix the Cat? It was a PS+ free game a while back so you might already have it and not know. It's a little different but really good and scratches the Pac Man CE itch and has the same wall-grinding mechanics and puts me into that same hypnotic state as CE did... Play on PS4 though because the Vita version can get choppy when there's a lot of stuff onscreen and framerate drops basically mean instant death

Made it to like World 6 and BoxBoxBoy is good but I hope it gets harder later-on than BoxBoy did. So far it's just basically been the same mechanics from the original game getting reintroduced in the same order but it's fun how much being able to spawn two sets of boxes at once expands the opportunity for puzzles. One or two of the crowns have made me feel a little clever for grabbing them but for the most part the game's been really easy. Either way it's charming and relaxing and a total steal for $5 -- I just wish there were a level editor because with the elements they provide you could come up with some truly devious poo poo

If you cant derp with the klurfs please get out of the friday night gaming thread. Content. I think I'm gonna pick Patapon 2 back up when I get out of work, I played the poo poo out of it back at launch but when I redownloaded it I got a little bored with the difficulty curve of the first few missions before you get all the different commands and all the RPG elements open up. Was anybody else looking forward to Patapon 3 back in the day and as completely crushed as I was ?? Talk about missing the point of a series ..... For me it's up there with the most disappointing sequels ever

Oh lol I forgot about that and I only suffered through it based on the strength of the first game and I'm never gonna play it again. Honestly its kind of along the same lines as Patapon 3 where it makes u wonder if the formula that the devs nailed previously was just something they stumbled upon by accident in the other game(s) and weren't able to recreate it

If any derpy contard PS4 owners are waiting for the new PS+ games to drop on tuesday , things are potentially looking good. One of the "free" games is some saints row spinoff that I assume is garbage but the other one, Furi, is a brand new bullet hell boss rush twin stick shooter that looks incredibly good and sadistically difficult from the previews .

Also has a bunch of really really good names doing the soundtrack (which will have some dynamic elements as you fight your way thru different boss phases) but if you don't know or care about EDM just understand that it will probably sound a lot like Hotline Miami. I have my hopes up pretty high for this game and apparently there's also some serious leaderboard/score attack functionality so if it ends up being as truly sick as it looks let's all please add each other and compete for scores. A year or two ago I had a pretty good group of Trials/Resogun players on my friends list and I found it incredibly gratifying to go back and forth trying to beat everyone's record. It's honestly pretty surprising how intense and competitive that kind of assymetrical multiplayer action can get

Like maybe I'll be wrong and it's gonna suck but this video of the first fight in the game looks fuckin awesome . Skip to like 2:30 if you want to avoid all the opening story stuff and don't be intimidated by the fact that the video is like 10 minutes long because the boss attack patterns escalate drastically over the course of the fight and it makes me really stoked for how the rest of the games gonna play

Yeah especially considering that (A) that's the game's opening tutorial fight and (B) it's free at launch for PS+ subscribers I'm pretty glad to be a gamer. Those boss bullet patterns at the 9:00 mark or so where the player is alternating between chewing through them with their own shots and doing that warp dodge to get past them looks incredibly fun

Edit: also the video doesn't rly make it clear but from the reviews I've read it sounds like it's sorta structured similarily to "character action" games like bayonetta or devil may cry in that you've got a pretty beefy health bar and have to gently caress up pretty badly to get a game over (even though it's still a potential risk) and the challenge lies moreso in completing fights quickly and efficiently while taking minimal damage so you can get good scores in the ranking system . Trying to keep my hype under control over here but man if they can deliver with this game it's gonna hit all my sweet spots and it could potentially be something I play and replay for a really long time

i dont get why devs think walky talky parts are still worth doing, a cutscene would be better even if it does take control away from the player

Haven't played Deus Ex HR yet so not sure if this comparison is relevant but the dialogue system in the Lucasarts Indiana Jones game was loving awesome (not the one based on the movie , but the later original one about Atlantis) and tricking/manipulating people via dialogue options always felt like a very good puzzle but if you failed at that there was almost always the option to just kick their rear end in combat or to solve some environmental puzzle to bypass the confrontation entirely . It's been a long time since I've played it and maybe it doesn't hold up but I have very fond memories of it. I'm pretty sure it released right around when the Adventure Game formula was starting to feel really stale and the multiple paths through the game and the way you had 2 or 3 different ways to "solve" any confrontation was really cool.

Honestly the only game to pull off something similar since then was probably Alpha Protocol with its James Bond/Jack Bauer/Jason Bourne trichotomy with regard to decision making

bout to beat the last boss of Hyper Light Drifter. good game, I'm not as in love with it as I was for the first couple hours now that I've figured out the pattern to finding secrets and stuff (it's hard to nail down but it doesn't feel as organic as the way discovering stuff did in Super Metroid and Zelda) but the combat is satisfying and the music and art are all great. still very glad I bought it. I will probably wrap up some of the optional side stuff but not all of it because there's WAY too much of it and it would drive me craz

That's awesome, I liked Calculords but it could definitely have been expanded. Plus you could walk over most of the game just by pushing opponents into their base with a single big line of guys.

yeah the first game was fun but you could break it pretty easily. they're making a big deal out of cross platform PVP for the sequel so hopefully the mechanics will be a little more refined
