I'm still debating on what all to actually buy. So far I have confirmed Ubermosh, Grim Fandango, Pixeljunk Shooter, Brutal Legend, Pixeljunk Monsters, and Deponia. The wife is getting Banished, Submerged, The Swindle, and Don't Starve.

That's a stellar haul. Three games that all made my annual top 10 for their release years.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes randomly popped into my head and I checked and it isnt on sale so I think Ill wait.
That game seems perfect for random holiday family fun though.

Necrodancer was this year too? Somehow I thought it was last year. There's another one for my top 10.
I picked up Guild of Dungeoneering, Cities Skylines and Project Cars so far. Have several others I'm debating on.

South Park sequel is being developed by internal Ubisoft though so I am not exactly trilled about that.
Overall, Square Enix had a pretty good year IMHO (regarding decisions which make fans happy). Nier 2 gives me slight hope for Dawgz 2.
I don't see why that would matter. Obisidian isn't known for deep or amazing gameplay and neither was stick of truth. And Matt & Trey did Obsidian's strong point, the writing.
Matt and Trey are still writing all the jokes and scenarios so it doesn't matter as long as Ubi uses the same format as Obsidian.
Outside of shafting the majority of the Tomb Raider fan base.

what's the name of that space rouge-like with the cowboy bebop style soundtrack and you would actually talk to folks at stations and stuff? there are like 2-3 of these that the GBeast crew played and i remember finding all of the interesting.

that sounds about right, but i feel like my mind was mixing two space-arcadey sim type of games in my head.
I dunno, maybe im nuts.

Yup I think people were thrown off because of early access but Necrodancer came out this year technically. And it is amaaazing

Doesn't help that we haven't heard anything since E3. It also doesn't help that the last time an Ubisoft game had a good story was probably Assassin's Creed 2?
So far I bought Satellite Reign, Tales of the Borderlands, Axiom Verge, Lethal Legue and the Jackbox 1.
Maybe I'll buy Soma or Rebell Galaxy later, still unsure.
yep. Same reason a lot of (most?) people probably don't realize Kerbal was this year, too.

Awesome, started Satellite Reign and the first thing I notice is that the first character they start you with is named after a Gamergate meme. It wouldn't be fair to condem (or whatever a more suitable verb might be) the entire game/team because of that but it definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Satellite reign? Is it named after that mascot Vivian? Or somethin? Never played that game...have GB done a QL?
Aviary Attorney
Haunt the House: Terrortown
Memoria

Yeah. Might be coincidence or a kickstarter thing though, no idea.

Y'all should buy River City Sports Challenge, if only so there are people online to play against.
Darn it with the Triad Wars stuff. I hope this doesn't impact any potential there might have been for a proper Sleeping Dogs Sequel. Maybe it will actually improve the chances of us getting a sequel now that they realize they were heading in the wrong direction for that game? Who knows.
I do know there is so much potential for a Sleeping Dogs sequel it would be a shame for this to go to waste. They could build upon and improve the first game and truly make something fantastic. Here's hoping.

Jeff loves anime.
Dev here, all of the names in the game are provided by backers and randomly allocated. None of us (there's only 5 of us) are really that clued up on the gamergate issue, to be honest I personally don't even know what gamegate is even all about?
Not 100% are from backers, we snuck in our own names and a few references of things we liked (eg Dana Barrett from Ghostbusters). There is also some "made up" names to balance the names out (there was more male names provided than female) but we used some random name generators for those.
Yes, it's one of the best games of the year.

I'd give them the benefit of the doubt, especially if there is no resemblance. If you keep seeing memes or plots involving the sex lives of women, then I'd be concerned.
I have only heard of Aviary Attorney, which has a fantastic art style. Haunt the House and Detective Case look up my allley. I will have to check them out.

Not that it was a big issue for me anyway but good to hear. I was too deep into that whole stuff so I'm just overly senstive. The game is very, very cool btw. Love the artstyle.

I bought Invisible, Inc. yesterday and I think I'm close to completing (or failing) my first 'run'. I'm enjoying it a lot; it's tense and it looks slick.
I didn't get the pun in the title until after I bought it. It was my generation's 'Miles Prower' moment.

I remember going into the Binary Domain QL thinking it would be a joke of a game. I can't say my opinion changed a lot watching it, but once I finally played BD on PC I was a believer.
Big Bo's "that was SWEEEEEEEET" swayed me to buy it initially. Dude's charm is unparalleled.

I'm not sure how far I to the game you are but one of the core mechanics is finding better host bodies to clone and insert your characters conciousness (skills) into. So you can pretty quickly ditch your starting bodies, In fact you will need to to upgrade your agents, the first bodies you'll use have pretty shit stats.
The early access version of that game predates that GG bullshit. Don't look for links based on something as tentative as a semi-common name.
Good luck on the final mission, it's very do-able but it's certainly the "okay, now show me that you're capable" proving ground thing. It's not quite as ball-busting as FTL's final stage, thankfully.
Is this a 'beginner' ahem still challenging, campaign?
And have you had any "oh shit I'm fucked, no wait I can [hack a drone to close this door!]" type system moments yet?
