Oh man, do I use my card money on Brothers, Gunpoint or Papers Please?

Gunpoint because it's the one that is actually the most fun to play.

 

[Knurek]

So guys, Rayman Legends, LEGO Marvel or XCOM: EW?

Only have monies for one.

Just read about how DSII punishes repeated deaths by cutting max health down to 50%... either they are making human effigies to be particularly common drops or they're taking the difficulty thing a tad too far...

You clearly have never played Demon's Souls. In Demon's Souls it was an immediate 50% drop after every death. It's 10% per death up to 50% of total health. There's a ring early on to mitigate it to 5% and 75% of total.

It seems to be balanced by enemies despawning after a certain amount of kills. If you are having trouble, you will still be able to get through an area.

Rayman Legends.

Actually wait, any chance RL would be cheaper down the road? Like could it be 75% come the Winter Seal?

Nostalgia trip for $4.49 +/- the disappointment in the changes made = I guess so.

I can't wait for the next 55% off sale for Gone Home.

Still too much. I'll wait for the 45% off daily.

A vote against Rayman Legends because because floaty Euro-physics need to be fought at every opportunity.

Xcom EW is definitely better than Lego Marvel.

Brother's by a country mile, game is a must play.

No. It's pretty much a complete waste of 3 hours.

Oh man, do I use my card money on Brothers, Gunpoint or Papers Please?

Anything but Brothers.
Chose the more interesting of the other two. Or flip a coin.

All are supposed to be good. I've only played Rayman Legends and I'm currently in a hate/hate relationship with it because I'm playing it on Vita and it's fucking terrible when it comes to the Murfy levels and the "daily challenge diamond cup" trophy.

Pleasure to be of service.

You should vote "yes" for the developer's next game on Greenlight.

Voted! I'm on a major nostalgic kick, so these games are right up my alley. I'm playing Ikaruga now.

Too slow

 

[jediyoshi]

Too lazy to make a thread, but 11 bit studios (anomaly devs) announced their new game, This War of Mine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH_tYB_Ntlg&hd=1

This War Of Mine provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle. For the very first time you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city. During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus on maintaining your hideout. At night you get a chance to scavenge nearby locations for items that will help you stay alive.

Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them to endure the hardships. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better.

Wow, that looks terrific. I haven't played Oniken yet but it's on my wishlist for the next sale. Looks like a dev to keep an eye on.

EDIT: Power Blade and Shatterhand are 2 of my favorite NES games.

Indeed true, as I've never owned a PS3. Just read about its severe death handicaps.

It seems to be balanced by enemies despawning after a certain amount of kills. If you are having trouble, you will still be able to get through an area.

Sounds a bit more fair, although that removes most of the farming aspect that helped me through Undead Burg and Undead Parish. Point is, I got slain countless times by the Belfry Gargoyles, can't even imagine how it would've been fighting them at half health!

I have Tomb Raider (2013). Are its DLCs worth buying? Or the game alone is enough?

I'm with you, but most people will ignore that in favor of Rayman's beautiful visuals.

IIRC virtually all of them but one are multiplayer add ons

Did I miss the part where they say what platform it'll be on? 11 Bit is a mobile developer as well, so I'm not assuming they're making a PC game.

game alone is fine. Unless you want skins or MP stuff.

I think there's like... one in-game DLC. The rest, as said by someone above me, is MP.

The tomb one is worth it, that's it.

Downside is that take's like five to ten minutes. :/

Damn!

Well, at least that's 5 to 10 times better than the regular Tombs!

Gunpoint because it's the one that is actually the most fun to play.

Anything but Brothers.

Hmm, I was inclined towards Brothers because that's the cheapest I recall seeing it, while Gunpoint was cheaper during the Winter Sale. Now I'm unsure. Of course, now watch all these games end up in Humble Bundle 12 or something.

 

[Curious_George]

Doesn't Legends require Uplay? Definitely X-com, better game and also no Uplay.

 

[Tizoc]

So it's one of the long ones then?

 

[Tizoc]

I don't think UPlay is in any way a measure of a game.
Rayman Legends is a fun platformer, X-Com is a great strategy game.
It comes down to which genre you like.

 

[morningbus]

Thought I was the only one no too fond of its controls.

It's another thing I'll always hold a grudge against Sony for. The original Playstation popularized that style of physics and convinced an entire generation that platformers are this loose, tepid genre of mediocrity.

 

[derExperte]

And not on sale anyway, absolutely not worth it for the full price.

Man I am the absolute worst Spelunky player ever. 37 hours. I fought Olmec once.

(and I died obviously)

edit: 9 out of 10 times I don't even reach the third area, or second for that matter.

The game clicked at some point around the 40th hour for me.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Rayman Legends is an AMAZING platformer with superb art, sound and gameplay.

[kevin1025]

Rayman Legends is a wonderful game! My one gripe was during some of the crazier levels, I was completely off the screen making jumps and such and blind luck got me through. Other times, when sticking on the screen, it was nearly impossible. But otherwise, really, really fun!

 

[corrosivefrost]

Yes yes.

Incorrect!

It becomes an entirely different animal when you start going for the speedlunky or low score trophies too. I can't stop trying for them and it's changed my ability to play.

Rayman Legends is an AMAZING platformer with superb art, sound and gameplay.

Origins was AMAZING. Legends is good, but that's a partial assumption based on my experience with the Vita version and imagining that I'm controlling the player character and not Murfy in those accursed touch levels.

 

[mannerbot]

Yep, normal/Hell playthroughs are cake after you get good enough to get Low Scorer.

 

[Turfster]

I have no problem getting low scores in Spelunky.
Oh, wait...

 

[morningbus]

Incorrect!

Surely you mean "disagree," because what he was agreeing with is empirical truth. Rayman is a platformer with floaty physics descended from the glut of European-developed platformers popularized on the Playstation.
