If anybody here is ever looking for a metroidvania style game, I suggest looking into Mystik Belle. It isn't perfect, it's flawed, but it is a relatively small and short sorta metroidvania/adventure hybrid and it is also cute, good sprite work all around.

I imagine second life safari involved a little more than just following someone around and letting other players know where a streamer was at so the streamer would die and lose, being unable to participate in the game anymore and giving the game a bad reputation

Man sometimes I wish my eyes didn't just immediately glaze over when playing shmups because stuff like this game here (Senko no Ronde 2) look really cool. http://store.steampowered.com/app/574160/Senko_no_Ronde_2/ I have no clue what's going on in that trailer though and I can already tell that there's no way I'd be able to follow the action well enough to be able to play it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqfQsRj5wSQ

Is the pre-sequel just the regular version or is it a goty type version that includes the dlc? I suspect it's just the vanilla version but I'm hopeful it includes the dlc

Barry Convex posted:Doki Doki Literature Club is... something. The meta stuff is definitely creepy when it wants to be, but I kinda wish it didn't use themes like depression, self-harm, and suicide for what amounts to cheap shock value. What felt cheap about it in your opinion? I thought it handled it fairly well since the meta stuff was intended to amplify the already-programmed neuroses the characters suffered from and serve as a way to comment on the hellish existence they have. At least, that was my reading of it.

Hell, people do insane things even when the game isn't free. Speaking of not-free games, I recently completed the video game Cats Are Liquid. http://store.steampowered.com/app/498330/Cats_are_Liquid/ It's an okay indie platformer game with a good amount of content and it's only 99 cents but it went really downhill for me in the last 3 or 4 worlds. So basically the concept of the game is "you are a cat that is a fluid, you can turn into gas to float and turn into liquid to squish under things and eventually you even befriend a silent square that helps you push buttons" There are various bits of text along the way, just bits of dialogue written on the level backgrounds, all stuff from the cat's point of view where it is just the cat going "hey the rooms changed again" or "man that room sure was weird" or "I don't like this liquid orange stuff, it hurts" or "I can't wait to escape this maze" That's all fine and dandy, I didn't pick up the game expecting a stellar story. The fact that the dev had the cat making comments about the levels was just a thing that was there, didn't add much to the game but it didn't take away from it either. Until the last quarter of the game when (ending spoilers because who knows, maybe someone will wanna go into it blind) the game starts to take away abilities from you and the cat gets depressed as a result and starts to feel worthless and eventually notices that the outside world is empty and so you get to the exit and the cat knocks the exit door into a pit and the game has you sit there reading the inner thoughts of the cat who was just wishing everything would start over and that they want to stay in the maze forever and then spikes drop down and kill her. Then you unlock an additional short story world where it is 1 being arguing with another about how the "purple one" made the square that helped out the cat and that the purple one is in charge of the maze and was trying to torture the cat and that the cat was placed into the maze by the cat's owner after the owner felt sad because the cat reminded him of the cat's previous owner who was a friend of the current owner but had passed away and by the time the extra levels get around to the characters talking about wanting to do something to fix the problem, the game fades out because it is too later and the game is going to keep getting reset or whatever the gently caress was going on. Basically, bunch of attempted plot hooks in the last quarter of the game, none of them actually interesting, all of them causing me to like the game less and less because it felt like the developer wanted to try to have an artsy indie game with a deep story but clearly couldn't write one and ended up just throwing a bunch of poo poo at the wall and hoping the players will piece it together into something cohesive. I still found the gameplay enjoyable, though, so if you're bored and want some time to kill and want an ok game that kinda looks like they're trying to ape Thomas Was Alone a little bit, then you could certainly spend 99 cents on worse stuff.

CJacobs posted:I hate when indie games do this crap so much. What could it possibly stand to gain from having a hook like that? Why ruin a good thing right at the very end? Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and that's perfectly fine. It's okay for your cigar to be a cigar. Your cigar doesn't have to be deep and full of last-minute twists about how the cigar hates its life and has been hoping to escape since the start but now feels completely useless and wishes for death. Games, man. Games are weird.

I may do a more in-depth write-up later when I'm not tired on why this is a good game, but if you are a fan of CYOA games, I highly highly highly recommend Open Sorcery Just a heads up: it is entirely textual. It's done up like a computer program. The writing is very good, though, and more than makes up for the lack of graphics.  It's short, it's cheap (only $0.99), and it has a lot of replayability. I think it also has a demo. Like I said, maybe I'll do a write-up later on going into detail what makes the game so good, but until then, I hope you can trust me when I say that it is a good game and is worth playing if you like choose your own adventure RPGs/interactive fiction.

Alright, so for Xander77's birthday, he gifted me Catlateral Damage and asked that I write a post about it. Here's a post detailing Catlateral Damage and my thoughts on it based on the ~30 minutes of it I've played so far. http://store.steampowered.com/app/329860/Catlateral_Damage/     ABOUT THIS GAME posted:Catlateral Damage is a first-person destructive cat simulator where you play as a cat on a rampage, knocking as much stuff onto the ground as possible. See the world through the eyes of a cat! Like other first-person games, you can walk and look around, jump, and crouch. Unlike other first-person games, your primary weapons are your two cat paws, which you can use to swipe at and knock objects onto the floor. So I know a few people who would look at this game and assume it's some kind of goat simulator thing where it's a broken game and the appeal of it is for streamers to stream it while reacting to it, but I am going to have to disagree. From what I played, I found something far more in-depth than a simple rear end in a top hat physics engine. Sure, it's not super deep, but there is definitely more going on than you'd first expect. In Catlateral Damage, you play your choice of cat from a variety of unlockable cats (unlocked through completing various achievements) and your goal is to take anything that is not on the floor and put it on the floor. This is done through a variety of ways. Using left click and right click, you can swat with your left paw from left-to-right and right paw from right-to-left respectively. You can also stick your paws out with Q and E, doing what almost resembles a sort of "punch" and, if you do it fast enough, looks like you're doing a fist of the north star kinda thing with your paws. These push items straight ahead rather than off to the side like the swats. You can also use the dedicated meow button (F) on smaller items to pick them up and throw them or use the item to push around other items. Lastly, you can just run into an item and it'll get knocked over if it is big enough. Honestly, this game reminds me a lot of Katamari Damacy. Though they both have different sense of progression, they are both games that pit you against a timer and ask you to go interact with as many objects as possible, sometimes having little bonuses along the way for specific objects. I think in a lot of ways Catlateral Damage would appeal to a fan of Katamari Damacy. They aren't the exact same game but it scratches that same kind of itch in my opinion. So let's get into the gameplay. There is a litterbox mode (sandbox mode) that I haven't played but I can only assume that you aren't timed and you can go into whatever level you want and just screw around. Levels are randomly generated based on a combination of the level type (whether it be the mewseum, supermarkat, house, etc) and the room layouts. I don't know if the levels themselves have a fixed floorplan, but at the very least the item arrangement is random. Objective mode is different. In objective mode, you pick your cat and you're dumped into a level. Your cat has a grievance with its owners and decides that it is time to make a mess. From here you start the game proper, just batting stuff off of shelves, knocking over electronics, getting into fridges and cabinets, etc. You are timed during this and are generally given some kind of goal like "knock of X amount of objects" with some bonus objectives like "knock over this specific object." During play, you'll find various glowing items that you can interact with, such cat toys and toilet paper. Upon interacting with these sparkling items, a present will appear containing an upgrade. I am not certain if these upgrades persist from game to game or if you lose them when you restart objective mode, but these upgrades are still useful regardless. They can increase your jump height, swat power, your speed, stuff like that. There are also powerups that are temporary that will max out one of your skills, though these powerups seem to only be given out as rewards for events. Speaking of, during the level there will sometimes be an event. I'm not sure if the events are based on the bonus objectives or if they're just random or what (I apologize, I feel like I should know but I just don't) but when an event happens, you'll be given a small timer to clear the event. The two events I've seen so far were "kill the red dot" and "capture the mouse" and I'm not sure if there are any other events but they certainly help break up the flow of things. Lastly, as far as collectibles go, there are photos of pets as well as unlockable cats. Cats serve as separate skins, I do not believe they have any unique properties to them. The photos are just photos, they're not super important but they're easy to unlock and they're nice to have because, hey, pictures of cats are good. The way you unlock photos is by finding a photo during a level and knocking it on the floor. So right now the game is selling for $2.99 and it has some dlc in the form of a $0.49 soundtrack and some free VR support. I can't comment on either since, unlike Katamari Damacy, I felt like the music was serviceable but didn't really stick out, and I have no means of testing out the VR so I don't know how good or bad that is. Personally, I'd say if you are a fan of Katamari Damacy, a fan of photos of cats, a fan of roguelites that let you carry over upgrades from one run to the next, or are otherwise just interested in a cheap and cute game, I would recommend picking up Catlateral Damage. It is adorable, it has cats, the achievements aren't super annoying and they also serve a purrpose, the unlockables are good, going fist of the north star and just punching a ton to knock over stuff is cool, and the objective and litterbox modes provide a way for people to play who prefur either a more objective-oriented style of play or a more gently caress-around-and-knock-poo poo-down type of thing. There are people out there who are very cynical about stuff like Catlateral Damage, but I can say with certainty that it is just a sincerely good game about cats being assholes, and for $2.99, it's a title that you'll no doubt find to be charming, amewsing, and all around a much better use of $2.99 than various other cheapo games on steam lately such as the deluge of censored pawno games. In closing, I present to all of you a bunch of screenshots I took while playing.                       Nippy, a cat I don't know, but undoubtedly a good cat.

Okay serious question, who decided that we needed a video game in the year 2017 based on the loving Love Boat Is there a Love Boat revival or something going on http://store.steampowered.com/app/748150/The_Love_Boat/ Why does this exist? I'm sure it's a fun game since it's gamehouse and if you like one of their games then you'll like all of them but still, what a weird thing.     The trailer has a goddamned laugh track in it.
