yeah, I sort of got the vibe Spec Ops isn't calling you an rear end in a top hat for playing Spec Ops, it's mostly calling you an rear end in a top hat for playing games that are much less critical of the same sort of events (ie Call of Duty)

see, i think the "you are still a good person" stuff kind of gels with my interpretation of the message you are still, unironically, a good person, because you're sticking with a game about how war is loving awful and dehumanizing instead of going off to play some hoo-rah bullshit and not think about it anymore

I want a game with the corn maze scene from Signs. scary and weird aren't popular anymore. if you want your game to sell, you make it pointlessly bleak and claim it has an anti-war or anti-capitalist message. e: scary is especially unpopular nowadays, "scary" in video games translates to "Five Nights At Freddy's bullshit" in most people's minds when they read it as a descriptor.

So uh apparently in Cities: Skylines, digging a sewage pit instead of draining into a water source will inevitably cause it to overflow and drown your entire city in poo I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature

Digirat posted:Are there any other of these turn based mechwarrior games and if so what are they like? this looks cool but I've only really heard of battletech in the context of a mechwarrior game which has apparently been surrounded in a destiny 2-like whirlwind of controversy for as long as it's existed so I don't know what to make of it MechWarrior Online is a pile of poo poo, and is a controversy magnet specifically because it's a massive outlier in the franchise for being complete poo poo (but also has a lot of ultra-grognards who love it simply because it's Battletech). Basically, BattleTech started out as a tabletop game (which, from what I understand, this game is a loose adaptation of). To get a general sense of the tabletop game, you can either go look at one of the PBP games run on SA, or you can play MegaMek, which is a lower-rent version of it (sort of like FUMBBL for Blood Bowl). From this tabletop game begat novels/comics/a cartoon/etc, none of which you need to worry about just yet; the in-depth lore doesn't tend to crop up too much in the video games beyond references, but if you get in a conversation with Battletech grognards they're probably gonna look at you a little funny if you don't know it. More importantly to you, from this tabletop game begat a metric gently caress-ton of video games. There's the MechWarrior and MechAssault series; the MechWarrior series is a mech sim that pretty much straddles the exact line between arcadey and  (the easiest way to get into these is MW4: Mercenaries on the PC), whereas the MechAssault series (original Xbox-exclusive) is basically a third-person shooter with BattleMechs. Then you have the BattleTech RPGs from the late 80s, which are an interesting historical piece but not really fun nowadays (interestingly enough they're made by Infocom of all people), MechCommander, which is sort of like the Myth games or real-time Jagged Alliance but with BattleMechs, and MechWarrior 3050 on the Genesis, which is... well, if you've played Brigador it's kind of a proto-Brigador.

poo lagoon update: poo lagoons are completely loving unsustainable without constantly babying them and expanding them when they're about to fill up, and the water physics hate you and expanding your poo pit will cause a tidal wave of poo water to splash up over the edges and flood your city also, the game seems to think this counts as a tsunami, which is loving hilarious

Morter posted:Syndicate (2012) owns and I wish it got more love. it was a pretty fun game, yeah. pretty much the last dying gasp of old Starbreeze before everyone left for MachineGames, from what I gather (it definitely had really similar gamefeel to Riddick and The Darkness) e: so, re: Puyo Puyo Tetris' technical weirdness/lack of options: it works totally fine on my desktop, but I'm a little antsy about recommending it to people with older or nonstandard computers because I'm not really sure how it handles resolution. I think it just goes with whatever your desktop resolution is, but I could be wrong and it might be 1080p-only and not play nice with laptops that have a native res below that (for example), and I have no clue if it plays nice with 4:3 or ultrawide resolutions.

dragon enthusiast posted:Matchmaking is still wild wild west since the crazy players are still grinding rating points to get to their "real" MMR. There's this player on the Switch version who got to 11k doing nothing but holding right and down in Puyo, so that should give you an expectation of what the competition will look like once the dust settles. well, tbf there's also not that many people who've bought the PC version, I checked SteamDB last night and it listed only about 5k owners (only about 3500 of whom have actually opened the game) i feel like i may have been hosed by jumping in early instead of waiting for a sale, we're not exactly looking at PUBG numbers here John Murdoch posted:And unless I'm mistaken Enemy Unknown's development overlapped with The Bureau's to some extent, but I'm sure all the internet manbabies who pooped their diapers about it would like to think they personally made EU happen through their anger. EU was happening regardless, but they totally announced it when they did because of the reaction to The Bureau, and they probably would have held off for longer (and possibly released the game later) if it weren't for that like, in the alternate timeline where The Bureau got a totally fine reaction from everybody, we probably got EU a year later with the EW content pre-baked in e: also keep in mind that the literal reason why The Bureau is "The Bureau: XCOM Declassified" and not just "XCOM" is because of the reaction to that one trailer; like, the internet manbabies didn't personally make EU happen, but they totally sent 2K into "gently caress what do we do now" panic mode.

They pretty much have their poo poo together as far as making good games with good PR so nobody's worried about brand damage, Bandai had pre-existing toy licenses for some of these (and partly owns Gundam iirc) so working out game licenses for those was probably simpler than usual, and I think some of the licenses are non-exclusive

I just want a good spiritual successor to the Armored Core games. If it has multiplayer like Chromehounds, even better. Firing up the older games in PCSX2 works fine, even on my potato-y computer, but they're... kind of insanely hard and impenetrable, and an indie spiritual successor could hit the same buttons for me without being made for insane Japanese nerds with a billion hours to spare. I miss how Chromehounds was simplified on all that stuff enough that it made total sense to 12-year-old me.

DrNutt posted:It's probably worth noting that the anime art style is objectively worse, it's not even like a "this art style is for people who don't like anime thing." Like the alternate art style looks like professionally commissioned art for a game and the anime art looks like a 12 year old watched a lot of Sailor Moon and bought a "how to draw manga" book. they're... both anime art styles, though  like, style 1 is a sorta-generic shojo manga style (which is probably why your mind went to Sailor Moon), and style 2 is riffing hard on Kazuma Kaneko's aesthetic (the faces are straight out of one of the PS1 Persona games)

Tak and the Power of JUJU was a game-original IP Nickelodeon made; the three games that came out on PS2/Xbox/GC are pretty fondly remembered and were published (and possibly developed) by THQ. while there was a cartoon, it only lasted a single season, postdated the games by several years, was hated by fans of the games for making a bunch of really dumb and lovely changes to the setting and characters, and... is probably not why they snuck that IP in, on the whole. i'm pretty sure most of this was just a roundabout way to unfuck those rights so they can remaster the Tak games, because SpongeBob is the literal only other IP in that list with any particularly decent games to come out of it. hell, some of those IPs don't even have games (Zim, Danny Phantom, Wild Thornberries) or only have games that came out back in like the SNES era (Ren and Stimpy).
