Most important thing McGee achieved in all his career is the great spawning of the hottest Alice cosplays in various comicons.

As I said earlier, the game remind me a lot of costume quest -- fast travel becomes important when you aren't really getting into battles and you just want to turn quests in. Also, there's a level cap at 15, so once you hit it, random battles are useless for the most part unless you're grinding money (and unless you're going for the achievement where you don't sell anything, you won't need to) or doing it for other achievements (DIRE AIDS) or quests you may have missed.

Ah, I didn't realise the level cap was so low. I assumed it was 25.

wait, there is level cap in a singleplay RPG? How does it make any sense? It is a full Finnish game, or I'm missing something?

Its not a Finnish game, so it isn't worth playing.

There are just a finite number of skills and attacks, so leveling up past that point is arbitrary.

Each class has five abilities, each with five levels, so a character level cap of 15 falls short of maxing them out. There are also perks, however upgrade points for them are earned as you make more friends.

totally!

ya, but don't you balance you game in a way that you don't need to impose so ridiculously low level cap or something?

I see, SP is just not the type of RPG I imagined it is.
Thanks for explaining this

I have watched The Grand Budapest Hotel by Wes Anderson, and JaseC is a good actress with a hard-to-understand accent.

Wok said:
Okay, I am going with:
  • FTL
  • A virus named Tom
  • Hexcells Plus
  • LYNE (hopefully on Steam one day, since it is the core mechanic of The Witness)

It is pretty brainy, but I have enjoyed all these games, so it should be fine.

Hello my friends. I haven't had much chance to talk on or read GAF these past few days, but I'm caught up and now and I'm glad to see things are as active and friendly as ever.

Thanks to the kindness of Maxwood I'm discovering just how much fun SpeedRunners really is. Online or four player local co-op, an amazingly good time.

Also thanks to all who recommended One Finger Death Punch, it is as addictive and amusingly fun over the top as it's been talked about, it was worth the Indie Capsule 2 bundle purchase all on it's own.

Also, a couple of games.

I made a promise to myself that I'm now focusing on buying classic shooters that I've for the most part missed out on. This includes the Quake series (though I played Quake 2 back in the day), the Unreal games (I played the first Tournament), HeXen, the Wolfenstein's, and the Jedi Knight series. I missed out on so many of these classics.

Is Dysfunctional Systems: Learning to Manage Chaos worth $0.99?
Click to expand...
I didn't see this answered beyond "it's cheap," but I thought Dysfunctional Systems was pretty good. It's a visual novel with good writing and only one dialogue you have a choice in, but that one dialogue is really, really involved with lots of possible ways it could turn out and significantly changes the outcome of the story.

It's the first episode of a series, and whether we get a second episode depends entirely on this kickstarter. I blame the devs putting their game in a ton of bundles before it even released on Steam-- I mean, you can buy it for a dollar now, but a lot of people got it in a bundle where that dollar was split ten different ways.

You level pretty slowly in SP, and even though 15 is the cap the highest level weapon is, I think, level 14 (the katana). I capped out before I beat the game, but only barely.

There will probably be an expansion that raises the level cap. I mean, you see signs in the game saying something is coming Summer 2014.
