No way!?! Guess what! That is the last 8+ years! Guess who buys the game in the quantity directly proportional with your budget? The mass market!

So since you guys know me so well then tell it to me straight when I ask like Salsa did. I don't need to know if it's good or bad but what the basics of the game are and I can take it from there. He got me intrigued in I am alive.

*hugs steam thread*

How do you hug a thread anyway?
And to be fair Derrick does like games. Might only be 3 or 4 but one step at a time hey.

Everyone, listen! The Steam thread could be cool and groovy if we treated each other fair!

Been tempted to get Snapshot for a while now. Field Runners looked tempting then I saw it was a tower defense game. Ughhhhh.

Guys, I've got some credit at GMG, so which do I get:
Q.U.B.E.
or
Tiny & Big: Grandpa's Leftovers?
Q.U.B.E.
or
Tiny & Big: Grandpa's Leftovers?
Tiny & Big
keep in mind it's like 3 hours long, but I found it to be more original and way more charming than QUBE
cant go wrong with either tho

Hah, that was an amusing sidetrack. Derrick didn't ask for that.
You should definitely play it. The basic idea is great but they sort of punk out on taking it to the level I'd like to have seen. While I think if you've played things like Stalker and Fallout: Wanderer's Edition the survivalist mechanics will feel pretty gimmicky, there are still some interesting twists in there which make it worth a look.

Damn that's tough both look great but are quite different and both are quite short. You might just had to eeny, meeny, miny, moe it.

One could argue that most threads don't ask for Derrick.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Damn. You're tearing me apart. They're both about the same quality and the same length, so either way you're good.
If you want a story with your physics based platforming, go Tiny and Big. If you want something more in line with Portal but without an explicit narrative, go QUBE.
Shhheeeeeiiiittt.

Agreed 100% although I'd also take a completely new game from them. It was pretty hilarious and once you get into it, the level design is pretty damn great. T&B2 with better platforming mechanics would be amazing.
pretty sure Derrick didnt like Human Revolution
It was alright for a modern console game. Didn't go as far as it should have.

Yeah I have a hard time coming up with games that I remember Derrick liking but I've never understood the dogpile mentality on the dude. When derrick was in Steam thread's land, let my derrick go!

T&B and QUBE were definitely 2 of my favorite indie games of whatever year they came out in.

I think we should have a new thread where people ask Derrick his opinion on random games. I can only imagine the descriptions/reasons.
One of the best RPGs of the generation. I haven't really thought about its place in detail yet, but I'm sure it could fit in top 5 with how barren the genre has become outside of a select few companies.
On a side note that's why I can't wait for the crpg revival that's going to be starting sometime later this year when shadowrun or wasteland comes out, whichever comes first.

Thanks for the advice guys. Watched a few minutes of a Let's Play of both games and found myself more drawn towards Q.U.B.E. so that's the one I picked. Will probably get Tiny and Big a later date too.
Because they were all found in the Steam database together. Nobody knew if they were true, but many of them have appeared since, or have been announced/confirmed: Dyad, Fez, Age of Empires 2 HD, Saints Row 4, Duke Nukem 3D and several more I can't remember now.
So many think it's probably only a matter of time at this point. And they may be right.
see guys? he's alright

For some reason I am reminded of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecc88W7hA40
really? I thought you were all about the gameplay and as a game (and not a choose your own adventure cutscene), it was fairly terrible

I don't want to live in a world where Alpha Protocol has "terrible" gameplay.
Ah yeah, that's right. Thanks, I'd completely forgotten.

Opinions are like assholes, and this one is prolapsed
I was trying to think what you'd find not to like about it and couldn't come up with anything (I mean aside from the obvious but who cares if shooting feels like shit).
seriously one of the best game of the generation
What? That waddling around infiltrating and shooting malarkey mixed in with some unintuitive mini games? Nah that wasn't the gameplay. Picking the right amount of awesome, ladies man or professional lines of dialogue not to mention picking the right hair cut and beard really made the experience.
It was really bland, gunplay wasnt fun, minigame hacking, not sure what's so good about it aside from the dialogue options and the story
