Been resisting deals and bundles pretty well the last 9 months so my gaming budget allowed me to get physical versions of Planescape Torment and Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition

Diablo 3 on PS3 tho because my hack&slash tastes are probably being catered to well enough on PC (Grim Dawn, Path of Exile, Torchlight 2, and stuff I haven't even tried) that I may play through Diablo 3 only once. I can just resell it then.

I accidentally ordered the physical version of overwatch on amazon because it was 13 bucks cheaper.

 

[TheAutomator]

currently $5.6 on Nuuvem

no region lock

heard good things about this. still $25 on Steam

Played about 5 hours of this but got bored quick. Still a solid game though.

I spent like 2 hours talking with my 11yo nephew about Portal 2 yesterday and how it was blowing his mind

he was baffled at how much I knew about it and went on

my sister lookin at me like ಠ_ಠ

p.cool that his steam account now has something other than five nights at freddys tho

 

[someguyinahat]

see this is why my game doesn't have voice acting

If I had better sound recording software I'd give you a hand with that. I don't have any formal voice acting experience, but I read stories aloud for a living.

 

[Salsa]

there's a constant "but you're a 26yo adult you're balding you have a moustache why you know this" when talking about games with all my nephews and nieces

the coolest uncle and the lamest brother

 

[Momentary]

And the problem is...?

I haven't bought a physical game in 8 years. Just feel crappy that I'm just going to throw everything away.

Is it honestly that big of a deal?

speaking of which I recently had to play through most of Castle of Illusion for my 4yo niece to watch and that game's cool man, I forgot

much better than that total crap new Ducktales

You know this game is absolutely fucking amazing and one of the best indiegames to have been released imho, the combat is a bit janky, but the original concept and the holy goddamn shit this is atmospheric as fuck i wanna be as cool as you please can i have babys from you card dealer make a 100000000000x times up for it.

You could sell it to me instead

 

[Granjinha]

much better than that total crap new Ducktales

get out

 

[Salsa]

pretty sure this is the only retail game I bought in a decade

 

[Salsa]

get out

is not liking the new Ducktales an unpopular thing?

the game is absolutely fucking dreadful to play

"hey people like old Ducktales with the jumping and tight controls and whatnot, what can we do to improve it?"

oh I know. add fucking unskipable cutscenes, remove control from the player every fucking 20 seconds to have some sort of weird-ass dialogue exposition of a story on a freaking 2D platformer people used to love because of how snappy it is

it's garbage to play. absolutely fucking insufferable, you can't even skip dialog

fuck that game to pluto



having a somewhat solid game underneath but making you jump through fucking hurdles to get to it is worse than just making a bad game.

Argies love to riot. I sense a theme.

Buenos Airs.

sounds cool but too many expenses this month

i might buy it just cos they added a toggle spider menu option

i respect the hell out of them for that

If I had better sound recording software I'd give you a hand with that. I don't have any formal voice acting experience, but I read stories aloud for a living.

nice

do you have like a smooth vaatividya voice

 

[Salsa]

also lets put nice clean 2D art in front of low poly barely textured 3D backgrounds

that doesnt look like fucking garbage at all no sir

EDIT: Yup any cutscenes are skippable by pressing start then selecting 'Skip Cutscene'
I don't see how the cutscenes affect the game when the core gameplay is fine though.

My entire Vita collection is physical. (Trails of Cold Steel Lionheart Edition not in picture):

Retail >>>>>>>>> Digital.
The only reason I buy on Steam is because it's ridiculously cheap. I prefer my games on my shelf. In fact, I will buy Dark Souls 3 in retail, even if it means to pay a bit more.

You want it more than anything else in the world

Assuming there are three Lego games you want, this is the cheapest most of the newer games have ever been. I've been wanting Lego Jurassic Park but the cheapest it's been has been around $8 just by itself. Getting this and Lego Batman 3 + Season pass for $10 seems pretty decent.

Yeah, I picked those three out as well.

Funny enough, those 3 ended up being my picks as well. Only two games on the list I didn't own and the only dlc that seemed to be more than just a character pack.

oh yea didn't even think the game was in english

well, idk then haha

see this is why my game doesn't have voice acting

My game will have Troy Baker.
He'll do anything.

High praise for Duskers from RPS

OT is over here

I only have started reading the review, but I just have to mention that I love developers putting those oldschool, DOS-inspired UIs in their games - like this and Superhot

Please refrain from using Superhot memes, kthxbai

been playing this after grabbing it for a dollar from Humble and it's fucking fantastic.. no idea why it has mixed reviews.. you play as an african-american woman in the 70s who has a degree in engineering but is stuck in a salsa-like country being a housekeeper and you go around and clean this dude's apartment once a week for an hour... but the things you do around the apartment draw you closer or further away from the owner... he will leave you notes and shit and you can respond...

there's a revolution going on and it nails the atmosphere with gunfire/bombing outside, the story is also about that... you learn things about the situation by looking at things and hearing her thoughts, and you learn more about her by relaxing in a chair.. it's a very cool way to do an interactive story IMO, you have to infer a lot of things.

the dude is also a rich bastard and has tons of cool art around his house too, which she also comments on and critiques...
is also interesting because of the setting and main character you can explore ideas and situations not really covered in games, things that require a modicum of intellect..

fucking amazing dunno why it has mixed reviews :/ literally better than any telltale game I've ever played and those get good reviews.. wtf?

Did Google make the natural assumption that what you were really looking for was free hentai?

Shame on Google.

I tried reverse image lookup and found it being used on porn sites. Anime appropriation.

I'm sure if I practiced I could do something that smooth. I'm a little more animated than that.

Okay, I re-submitted it. Everyone should have a clean slate. The answer is the same as before.

I was originally going to have beard as 1/2 of the answer but I decided to sabotage my own giveaway like a dummy. I made it "easier" by using a more generalized term instead of beard. This would ensure that if someone with taste submitted the actual true answer they would not win.

Brillant.

Somewhat disappointed it wasn't a blind link to the Rocket League thread.

I don't see how the cutscenes affect the game when the core gameplay is fine though.

caught your edit and the fact that they're skippable now is nice

but I dont get this line

you don't get how snappy gameplay being boged down by an unnecessary story presented in long, previously unskipable cutscenes affect the game?

you dont see how "core gameplay" gets affected in the game as a whole when you're constantly prevented from enjoying it?

it's Megaman X4, basically.


I bought the game. Started it. Went through an absolutely needless intro and thought "oh okay here we go"

entered a stage. another intro

midway through stage. cutscene with dialogue

end of stage. cutscene, dialogue. cutscene before next stage

this is a 2D platformer.

fuck that shit forever

Oh yeah? Stellaris' workshop has a bunch of full game OSTs, like Mass Effect. Or at least it did last I checked, only see ME's right now. Bit of a mess.

Y'know, ever since I heard of that GAFfer having his harddrive wiped from a Football(?) Manager workshop item I've been hesitant to use any of them...
