And Tell's Attack of the Backlog continues with... Bionic Commando!

Wasn't really sure what to expect going into this one, since Rearmed didn't really click for me and I wasn't too sure about the transition to 3D. Only a little ways in, but I'm enjoying it. Hasn't been enough combat yet for me to really weigh in on it yet (I've only offed a few grunts so far), but the swinging and grappling feel surprisingly good.

I'll post more impressions from here in the distant past as I go, unless you tell me to shut up.

One of my favorites, best swinging mechanic in game ever.

So what are they saving the PC announcement for E3 and that AMD show?

They are saving the announcement because FF15 is going to be a preorder bonus for FF9.

 

[Sarcasm]

I have a non-official one, almost 3 years old and it works fine. They're pretty cheap too.

I've had the official one for longer and it even moved between countries ^.^

 

[Ludens]

Tried the demo, it convinced me I can wait for the PC release with absolutely zero problems.
The combat, if possible, is even junkier than Episode Duscae. The framerate is obscene, and I don't know, the graphics look nothing like the trailers.
Also I thought this was a FFXV demo, not a Kingdom Hearts one.

 

[Deques]

Any stories on the XB1 wireless dongle breaking yet?

The only problem I had with it is that XB1 controller stopped working. All I needed to do was to change the batteries

Wow a game about Milamber in his future life!

Which FFXIV thread? There are so many.
Nvm, found it.

 

[Kaleinc]

FF XV looks fine, 800x600 as internal rendering resolution is not a huge deal.

I was really enjoying Alien Isolation but now that the xenomorph showed up it's getting fucking old real fucking fast.

Mod out the alien like a bitch I did

 

[Adry9]

Same here XD

 

[MMBosstones86]

I should actually watch Spirits Within. I'll do that tonight.

Don't do that. It's.....really bad.

I almost wanted to make a thread about it, but the newest Walking Dead Michonne ep is only 1 hour..

Telltale was already pushing it with barely 1 and a half hour episodes but common.. 1 hour?

 

[Tizoc]

I've made it a habit to only buy Telltale games at $5 or less.

Yeah I mentioned this earlier on here

And pretty much all of Minecraft is like 90 mins max. This better not be a trend -_-

Don't worry, just connect an X1 gamepad and it'll stutter so bad you will get 2hrs out of it.

Seriously, still too short and rushed but it took me ~80m, no idea how you can be done in an hour.

Took me just as long :/

Just heard someone say that Tetris is still the most played game in the world. Wonder if that's true though. Minecraft?

 

[The Dear Leader]

Candy Crush or some mobile game I'm sure at this point.

 

[MUnited83]

Life is Strange 2

 

[mp1990]

Candy Crush or some mobile game I'm sure at this point.

Hasn't Candy Crush lost a lot of popularity in the past few months though? I even remember hearing that the developer behind it was in a rough situation.

My bet would be in League of Legends though.

us old folks don't give a damn about Minecraft (and we are majority now), so yeah, Tetris all the way

Spoiler

I haven't played it for some time already, I blame ubi and steam

Candy Crush or some mobile game I'm sure at this point.

nope, Tetris all the way
only Peggle could come close if not for EA

Life is Strange 2

I thought such behavior was frowned upon in this thread

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

Life is Strange 2

i literally bought the first season just yesterday.

sigh.

edit: oh wait you weren't being cereal nevermind

 

[Dragon1893]

Candy Crush or some mobile game I'm sure at this point.

It probably was at some point, like Farmville and Angry Birds probably were as well, but Minecraft is something else, it just wont leave the charts, be it PSN, XBL, Japan, US or EU physical charts, you name it.
Fun fact, I've never played it. I have played Tetris though.

 

[Deques]

Life is Strange 2

A demake of the first game?

 

[arts&crafts]

So how many games are in the humble monthly this month, the boxes are misleading.

I imagine 6 real steam games. So South park + war is mine + 4 more. Hmm....i have south park already.

let's talk anecdotal evidence, shall we? I know nobody who plays or played Farmville, some that played Angry Birds, a few kids that play Minecraft, but! I don't know anybody who never played Tetris, here you go. 100% proven.

Spoiler

I still can't believe what ubi did to it, if there was a way to kill Tetris ubi found it.

Well, yeah, but the conversation was about which is the most played right now, or over the past year if you will. Obviously Tetris wins overall, pretty much everyone has played it at some point.

I see seven boxes, maybe it will be nine games next month

Any stories on the XB1 wireless dongle breaking yet?

I'm having weird issues with it, it crashes games, doesn't work with some, randomly refuses to connect with any controller etc. The amount of frustration I had with this controller makes me surprised that any one recommends it for pc, there was a thread on gaf addressing these issues, frankly I had less trouble using a DS4 or even a WiiU pro controller.

tl;dr
Awesome controller, terrible drivers that make it hard to recommend.

 

[mp1990]

I'm surprised that SEGA didn't bothered bringing Sonic Unleashed to Steam, considering that all other mainline entries, excluding Colors and Boom, are available in it, seems like a quick buck to me

Mod the werewolf levels out and I'd certainly give it a try

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

i mean, if someone wants to just play the non-werewolf levels of Unleashed then just get the mod for Generations that is exactly that

 

[arts&crafts]

Thats what I was wondering, but it could include those "indie" games made for humble that arent on steam like in past bundles. Oh well.

 

[Hektor]

From the other FF thread:

Ugh. I mean, it stil looks gorgeus from a design standpoint. but, ugh.

That DOA Xtreme 3 thread is bad for my blood pressure.

Because it all starts flowing into a different bodypart? ( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º)

 

[Arthea]

yeah, that's what my spoiler was about, if Tetris is no longer most played game, it's on ubi's conscience solely, it still would be otherwise, or maybe still is, in spite of ubi's shenanigans.

 

[Deques]

Thats what I was wondering, but it could include those "indie" games made for humble that arent on steam like in past bundles. Oh well.

At least one Humble Original is revealed, so six more games to be revealed/surprise

 

[Dragon1893]

Oh you.
I wonder if it will ever come to steam? Not that I'd buy it, I could get it on PS4 if I wanted to

Spoiler

I'd totally bite at 5 euros during a steam sale.

Now that I think about it, some of those outfits make nude mods pretty much pointless lol.

I finished the first episode of LiS yesterday.

Does the pacing of this game pick up at all? the first episode felt a bit long and had a filler moment or two that left me audibly sighing.

 

[Tizoc]

Ah
You wanna try saying that in the SonicGAF community thread?

Or better yet; swap out werehog with Knuckles redo the stages
Boom Knuckles beat'em-up game that everyone has been waiting for.

They were just acquired by Activision Blizzard for a bajillion dollars.

I'll be very disappointed if the next Sega port is yet another so-so Sonic game.

 

[Tizoc]

Well there are Sonic Colors and Unleashed.
Otherwise the Awesome Taxman ports of Sonic 1-3 XO

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

I think the meh sales of Sonic's Lost Worldies put the kibosh on bringing over more full blown 3D sonic games for a while.

 

[Large Professor]

What's the proper way to play Crimson Clover? Having unlimited continues feels like cheating.

 

[The_Super_Inframan]

What's the proper way to play Crimson Clover? Having unlimited continues feels like cheating.

Just don't use them and try getting better with each try...

And play on novice for the beginning

The end goal is to 1CC (1 credit clear) the game, playing through it without using any continues
