thanks for the tips all. i already have wonderboy and kamiko, and have finished both of em. the shovel knight treasure trove is probably going to be the go-er

I kinda wanna know what the embargo for Rabbids + Mario is. I'm getting FINAL BOSS videos from places I assume have review copies and places like Gamexplain went on a huge binge of videos the other day showing various bosses off.

Yet no one is allowed to show review for some reason?

nobody's written a review they're all too busy having fun playing mario and rabbids

And it $15 on US?

Does anyone know anything about the Viking game releasing Thursday? Volgarr the Viking?

Sounds like shovelware but some people I saw were really talking it up as a great platformer. Apparently been out on Steam a couple years. Anyone recommend it?

i didn't know this was coming out, but gently caress yeah, Volgarr is good times. frustrating in a real headache-inducing way but then you blitz through the first level and feel like a brutal golden god.

I guess I could finish Golf Story and continue working through BotW but I want the high of a new purchase, drat it! Other candidates include Shovel Knight (which I already beat on 3DS), Stardew Valley (though I'm not feeling a chill game right now), or maybe even Binding of Isaac, cept that once again that sticker price is stupid high. Ahh I also have a lot of Picross S I can work through

if you are feeling like an un-chill game, Volgarr The Viking got you covered. Mario XCom is also really, really great and gets challenging as heck later on

PantsBandit posted:

What are people's thoughts on Mario x Rabbids? It sounds intriguing, mostly because of the aesthetic around it. However it feels like the luster wears off for people pretty quickly, and that the back half of the game is frustrating due to the limitations in the mechanics. Am I right in this?

i think it depends on your enthusiasm for silly animated dreamworks-esque cutscenes. the world 3 boss is maybe the most over-the-top pompous mario boss ever. i love him.

the difficulty keeps ratcheting up too; i haven't gotten bored with it yet. i can understand the limitations - i am at the start of world 4 and pretty much maxed most of the skill tree - but the situations the game presents continue to be fun to solve.

there's not need to choose between "company selling videogame that i really like" and "letting people gently caress with nazis", they both align to me

Hell was very underwhelming visually

i liked hell; they just cribbed a bunch of megadeth and iron maiden album art and turned it into a videogame world.

also agree that doom got a bit repetitive and boring by the end but at that point i was jacked to the tits on adrenaline and basically had enough weapons to crush god so i don't really care. great game.

the soundtrack for 'the mummy demastered' game is out on itunes and spotify. it's by chiptune / retro electronica person MONOMER, there's some pretty good stuff on it, for those of you interested in such things.
