i just need sunset overdrive to not come out for maybe another 6 months so i can play my xb1 version and not feel like a chump for not waiting for the pc release. Just picked the game up over the holidays so bear with me, everyone, i think Insomniac might be checking my cheevos before making the announcement
It is ? One is a 2D platformer with puzzles, the other is a 3D first person adventure with puzzles.

Yeah, there's no local.
I wouldn't make use of it anyway, don't have anyone to play with.
I don't see why it wouldn't be as good as Transformers which is a great game.
I think this art direction goes really well with this franchise.
That's most puzzle platformers, though. They have the elements, but they aren't full on puzzlers. At least, most of the popular ones aren't.
It'd be loads more productive to offer an alternative, I'm just saying.
For example, In Between is one. It's on sale at the Humble Store right now for their winter sale. Its mechanics are similar to The Bridge in terms of the whole gravity deal.
It's not even a long game. Why haven't you played and finished it yet?

Best thing about Braid
Why do I have an Xbox again?
Ugh, I can't wait for this game. I've actually preordered RCTW, because I have such fond memories of playing the first one as a kid.
Hopefully one of the two are great. Even better if both are. I think Early Access for people who bought that is coming up soon? Hope to hear more.

There isn't going to be a sequel to Transformers: Devastation, is there? I heard something like 16k sold on Steam. Man, I wanted some Jazz and Astrotrain.

Transformers Devestation is a slow burn. It's probably selling decent on consoles where it's standard price is like 20-25 now. When it starts hitting bargain prices on steam it'll be fine. I don't think we'll see another until the next movie though.

backlogs. I just finished Super Meat Boy and am now in the thick of it with Bionic Commando 2009.
Maybe i'll play it next
I have very simple but elaborate genre definitions in my mind, but not ones that can be easily described. For example if a game consist of mostly thinking and little actual doing, it's a proper puzzle game, other way around, it's not a puzzle game, it's or action adventure, or platformer, etc. And if a game has RPG elements that are not prevalent, not as important for a game as other elements are, it's not an RPG, especially if little to no strategy, management and planning are involved, all my ME arguments were based on this, actually.
Another example would be VNs, if story telling is most important, largest part of a game, it's a VN, hence new Telltale games are VNs.
And no, it's not a contradiction (insert Jenks gif here) to have a perfect scheme in mind is much easier than putting it to words, especially delivering the same info and structure.
maybe it's Transformers fan in me, but I can imagine Transformers game being great easily, while I have all kinds of doubts about TMNT

Well, by the time that happens, the history revisionists will be out in full force to reclassify everything out of reductive terms to true uselessness.
"Space Invaders was a pre-Destiny action-shooter non-scroller RPG, in many ways exactly like Destiny itself."
- I have an expensive PC myself but a PS4 is the only way to go
- viHuGi "PS4 IS AWESOME!"
- Master Race was dropped
- if you want exclusives, go PS4
- peeps misunderstanding that he is in canada and that it cost more to build a rig.
- but all in all most are saying he should get a PC, they are just drwoned out by peeps desperately trying to seel him on a PS4
I think that's giving SMB and Fez way too much credit. Braid released in 2008, 2 years before SMB and 4 before Fez. World of Goo and N+ came out around the same time as Braid. Geometry Wars predates all of them, and games like Splosion Man, Trials HD, Shadow Complex and Defense Grid all came out in 2009. The indie trend was already well under way by the time SMB and Fez released.

i think Ludens meant Indie Game: The Movie, not indie games as a genre. Those 3 games helped to launch that film, without them it wouldn't exist.
and he's right

~sees him yelling "My Cabbages!" like that guy from Avatar~
I'm not so sure about it, we are talking strictly about popularity here, because only after some becoming really popular made indies to take off en masse.
So... SMB, Fez and Braid had a big part in it, much bigger than earlier games.
That's not saying that these are better games, but they got much more of media covering, PR and attention in general, making indies much more popular than before.
it pains me to say, but it's funny how true it is even now, if we replace just a few things in that joke of yours.
This has to be a tech demo like Rockstart Table Tennis?
I enjoy my crazy golf games so I'm sure I'll enjoy it but I can't see it selling all that well.

that reminds me I would like a PC version of Rockstar Table Tennis...actually liked that game
(I know there's no chance of that happening though)

I would buy it in a heartbeat, it's just too damn expensive for a 6 hour game that I would probably only play through once.

Well as a giant turtles fan and not much of a transformers fan, I disagree. TMNT makes way more sense as a Platinum game especially than Transformers did. And that Santalouco art mmmmmmmmm....

You called?

There would be a successor game, considering te small budget of the game I do believe itbroke even at least.
Hasbro has themes planned for their upcoming TF toylines which the games will reflect as well.
IIRC their next upcoming theme will involve the Primes, as there will be new toys for the Primes before Optimus such as Sentinel-

Next panel anything, be it monitor or TV, I'm buying is OLED. Spent waaay too many times drooling over a few examples in PC World at Christmas not to take a punt on one to see how they stack up for various applications. Also 1080 vertical pixels? Ewwwww! I can't go back to somethign that cramped for work purposes after donkeys years of at least 1440. Chirst I had a 1920x1200 supported (and technically higher still) monitor getting on for 15 years ago now.

OLEDs are finally past their major burn-in issues? Because while they look nice as hell, rather not have my gaming screw up my screen.
you got this OLED virus from me, didn't you?
I'll never be able to afford it, probably, even when mass produced if ever
I'd love OLED as well, but I don't believe they last long enough yet to offset the price.
Anything other than TN, really.
1080p is plenty for me, large headroom for my GPU is a boon as well, but then, I was using 768p until 2015.
