So, I've been 30 for nine hours [..]

Congrats on getting old!

Also, say good bye to your summer whoever wins this; Civ V

It shall be mine!

 

[Messiek]

So if I had to choose between Mercenary Kings and Broforce, which one would you guys recommend?

I played Mercenary Kings on the PS4 and it was fun as hell, but Broforce also seems crazy!

I think Broforce will grant you more fun over time, but Mercenary Kings is a great game too.

 

[Tizoc]

oh god ... BROFORCE all the way ... Mercenary Kings is just boring, grindy and repetitive as hell imho

Agreed, really disappointed with Mercenary Kings, wish it was more Metal Slug like how Broforce is and less...uh slow it is.

 

[MMBosstones86]

So, I've been 30 for nine hours and I already feel that now I'm entitled to whatever shit comes up in my mind and everybody will be like yes Copons is totally right because is now a wise and respectable man, he should just need to finally drop the beard and wear a tie, but respectable nonetheless.

Happy Birthday dude. You're one of the old guys now

But seriously, a game can be not for you, or misunderstood by you, or you could have been in foul mood while playing it. Unless the game is broken, as in "it doesn't run on any hardware", it's hard to be sure that a game is just bad.

Oh ok, i thought we were talking about video games here for a second. Not literature that can be misunderstood.

 

[ArjanN]

Oh wow. $30 for Next Car Games Early Access is just no, hun. Got burned with DayZ won't get fooled again.



That, too. If they actually made a Burnout with this techonology... mmmmmmmm. Shame it's going for "destruction derby" instead of "racer with soft body destruction." I mean putting cars into woodchippers is fine and dandy and all but:

-Needs controller/racing wheel support

Flatout (and I assume Next Car Game as well, as it's pretty much the next Flatout in everything but name) always had a pretty decent amount of normal racing where you really couldn't crash too much or it would slow you down/you'd end up wrecked.

-Needs more than the tech-demo right now.

Do you mean as a demo? Because you do get more than the tech-demo if you get the early access, the sneak peek tech thing and the regular game are two different launchers on Steam.

 

[bobnowhere]

That's main reason why I don't write negative reviews, another is that I don't want to waste time on games I don't like, in any form.

I've only written one negative review so far, my review made its way to the top of the pile and the game was pulled from steam shortly after. I'm not saying it was aliens but...


Of course it had nothing to do with me, but I agree with you, I could write a long diatribe on FootLOL, but I just uninstalled it and tried to forget it ever existed.

 

[Dr Dogg]

It's hard to argue against that, it just that I don't really have any need of a handheld. And Nintendo stance on region locking and user accounts made me very reluctant to buy any of their consoles.

One day my NA copy of SMT IV will get some use. Well I could just pony up and by it from the eShop when it becomes available but that would be giving in to region locking.

Mercenary Kings has a bit more structure to it, and you can craft new weapons/armour etc, and there's more in the way of missions, but Broforce is really, really fun. Plus it's already good and they're going to be adding more. I'd go with Broforce to be honest!

Edit: I should point out Broforce is Early Access so they're still adding lots to it - it may get more features as it continues development.

Just saw a preview in the OT of what looked like an Aliens themed update for some levels. Crazy good fun in bro-op though was a little hectic the other night when we came back from the pub a little worse for ware. Levels are a little short but it is in alpha and they do lend themselves to rapid fire play.

I need to try some Bro-op. Will have to check out the OT and see when people are playing!

Guys - I think we have a problem here.

But I actually believe that game's gameplay is sloppy and not really funny at all (while on the other hand I firmly believe that its inclusion in the Humble "Eye Candy" Bundle is totally deserved), I mean, I objectively believe so.
At the same time, the awkwardness comes from the fact that... I could have hurt the dev feelings or something... Like, I don't know him, he could be one who just doesn't know how to withstand criticism (like me, for example), and it being an indie dev he most likely lacks the structure needed to overcome this kind of stuff (both feeling-wise and money-wise).

Oh fuck, I guess I'm being way too heavy, but still.

I think as long as your review don't attack the developer personally (and/or using harsh words too much), it wouldn't matter much to the developer. Better someone write a negative review rather than getting ignored, at least for me.

I'd rather a complete gameplay overhaul where it becomes closer to Metal Slug. A fast paced 2d action shooter would be far better than the borefest this game is atm.

Agreed, really disappointed with Mercenary Kings, wish it was more Metal Slug like how Broforce is and less...uh slow it is.

hear, hear

The speed of the gameplay is what really put me off. I liked the idea of missions and crafting and stuff, but expected the actual missions to play a lot more closer to the fast paced run and gun games I grew up with like the Contras and Metal Slugs.

And while we're talking run and gun, Konami, FFS, port Hard Corps. Uprising with all DLC, please.

Dude, Happy Birthday!
I hope you achieve your dreams

I'm not totally awake yet and I read this as "I hope you achieve your name".
I was like... "what? how in the hell does one achieve copons?". :lol

Yes, you can't buy from other regions. But when you buy from a russian trader, first you need to look up price differences between regions and how much rubel the game actually costs. This would save a lot of time.

Broforce, having tons of fun with this game already even though it's early access. Beat the campaign and still looking forward to playing more

The game can be misunderstood, I've seen it many times. Even recently, Long Live the Queen is constantly dismissed because of how it looks, for example.
It can happen, literature or no

ES syncs with SteamPrices and shows the price of a game per a set number of regions regardless of what region your store is on. How is this different/better?

if you just want to see the price of the game in other regions then ES already have this feature.

ah yes, this.

Any medium can be misunderstood, no exception. This is why we have many creative person got famous after their death, but largely ignored in their lifetime.

 

[freshVeggie]

I use that feature a lot. It's nifty. But I have to go to the regional storepage to see restrictions, region-locking, low violence version etc.
So, even after seeing the regional prices in ES I still have to change stores.

Broforce, having tons of fun with this game already even though it's early access. Beat the campaign and still looking forward to playing more

Seriously, this.

I finished the campaign last night and then immediately started it again (Arcade Campaign) because I promised SteamGAF some Broforce on stream. I then proceeded to beat the game again in one sitting this time.

And I'd go back again too, I still have more unlocks.

Which reminds me -- I could swear that I unlocked Lt. Ripley during the stream last night... but I couldn't confirm because I managed to do it on a stage where I'd beaten the "trigger" and it was offscreen... so there's a moment where it shows the level complete stuff and it says 1 more save to next unlock, but I manage to do it off camera. I can hear the announcer say something, but I have no idea what it was. When I finally got the character I didn't have before, I thought "this looks like the A:CM pulse rifle." So to randomly, like 20 unlocks in, hit a female was a bit strange.

For those who are interested in the game, check out the stream I did last night:
http://www.twitch.tv/corrosivefrost/c/4611936

One of my favorite moments of the stream, btw, was at 6:08, when Dot starts yelling at JaseC to stop messaging me through the stream. Unfortunately, JaseC was not watching. :lol

One more helpful thing:
http://broforce.wikia.com/wiki/Bros

List of all the current "bros".
Seems I only have one more character to unlock... and I need to do it ASAP.

 

[saunderez]

I don't think I'll ever stop loving alpacas. Or amassing an unplayable Steam library. I'll be doing both of those 'til I die.

Is the game that unoptimized or is there something else going on ?

What's the rest of your PC like? It should run fine on modern rigs and at low detail it should easily be locked at 60 fps.
