That heart about to turn into a V N
I was in this prematurely air conditioned supermarket and there were all these aisles, and there were all these bathing caps that you could buy that had these kind of... fourth of July plumes on them. They were red, and yellow, and blue. I wasn't tempted to buy one, but I was reminded of the fact that I had been avoiding the beach.

Not impossible, but incredibly boring.

This reads like a excerpt from a down on his luck detective nove.
Think you just answered your own question there.
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?
This review would have been greatly appreciated when the game was still on sale for a dollar.
Kidding, I appreciate it now, I'm sure it will be bundled soon enough.

Are there any puzzles to solve or anything?
no it's more of an interactive experience, there is aspects of time management since you only have 1 hour to do things (30 real life minutes) and when you do housekeeping the time goes by faster.. at one point I needed to decode something so I had to go find the cipher somewhere before I could read something..
it's almost like a walking sim but it has a lot of player agency so I wouldn't necessarily call it that...
but Salsa. Hard Reset still is fine, you don't need to wait for redux or anything
you practically undone your positive review with this tidbit, you know
does it have a laser sword

So it's more like Papers, Please?
I mean, that is a leagues better idea.
What changes are they making to redux? I was thinking of playing Hard Reset for the first time this weekend
I'm always down for some quality Cyberpunk action.
better graphics, some rebalanced gameplay apparently
new enemies, new weapons (cyber katana being probably the biggest one)
redux is accurate. I doubt it'd be a full-price separate thing for Steam owners
I gather it's mostly a thing to release the game on Xbone / PS4

Heh, that's neat.
Totally agree. That game was such a huge piece of shit. The cutscenes weren't even good either!
They were pretty much like :
Scrooge: I have to collect these stones...
Other Character: Hey Scrooge! You should collect those stones!
Scrooge: Thanks! I guess I'll be gettin these stones now!
Other Character: Don't forget to get the stones!
Obviously not verbatim but, what a poorly written train wreck that thing was. Last level was bullshit too, all the insta fails on that escape section. ugh.
I love stories in games, even when they're bad, and I don't think I've ever skipped custcenes until this game. After the first level I noped the fuck out of that story so hard. Had no context for how we got to hell or whatever at the end and I didn't even care.
they got excited because they got the original voice actors of the cartoon and they thought people wanted that and they had to get some use from them
awful decision and totally misguided to what people liked from the original NES game
Wayforward is just spotty as hell in general

Truthfully, one of the reasons why Sunset has mixed reviews is because:
1) It is an artsy game
2) It is kickstartered
3) The developers are progressives interested in social justice and feminism
4) The game did poorly and the developers lamented the lack of demand
5) Anti-progressives gloated about the failure of the developer and taunted them
6) This leaded to an escalation of words where the developers said some inopportune things.
Leading to:
7) Anti-progressives review bombing the game because they think the company is shit and deserves to fail.
This is definitely not the only reason the game is getting bad reviews, many, even most of the negative reviews appear to be sincere, but I would say a non-trivial portion of the negative reviews reference the controversy explicitly or implicitly.

I just remember watching a gameplay video for Sunset and thinking it looked incredibly dull =/
Sunset got bad reviews because it's not good, like all of Tale of Tales' other games. Like the one where you get raped by the Big Bad Wolf, or walk as an old man and then die.
I like a lot of artsy fartsy games, but they are like every bad stereotype of art game developers made flesh.

we are but we cant say we are, because Overwatch isnt on Steam you see. Unlike all those nintendo and EA games we talk about...and desks. And anime. And whatever the fuck was hapening on this very page in fact. Thats all Steam thread appropriate.
fixed that for ya

Overwatch hype is real.
Almost 4k posts in the OT already and the game isn't even out yet. Is it a new record on gaf?

Didn't Destiny go through a whole thread by the time it came out?
NMS? I mean, its not out tomorrow, but you can buy it tomorrow
But that's an old game. Everyone would be playing a new game and I'd be the sad guy playing an old game.

Yeah, I played a bit of Sunset (I won it from a SteamGAF giveaway, thanks, Tizoc), but it didn't run well on my computer and it just didn't go a good job of pulling me in. And I have nothing against walking sims, I loved Gone Home.
Overwatch's Beta thread got 493 pages
Threads are supposed to close when reaching 400 pages
I am too bad at RTS.
I mean really, I try. I tried playing Company of Heroes this year because I would totally love that game if I could actually play it but I just kept losing over and over. I can't be a cool person playing the cool game tomorrow with a preorder.
