Those that don't remember the Rock Band thread are doomed to repeat it
Really confused as to Playism's strategy with this is since you can go to their website and download this and the sequel for free right now instead of waiting 5 days for the Steam release.
And, wondering why they aren't releasing Pink Hour and Pink Heaven together or something. Just hope Pink Heaven also comes out before Kero Blaster releases next month.

This and Duke Nukem used to give me the worst motion sickness ever.. which was frustrating as both games were a blast.
I think that was the first time I got motion sickness because of a game.. I wish it was the last sadly.

As I don't care for the XB1 controller in the first place, I will definitely NOT be spending $150 on an "elite" version.

Agreed. Vivendi were the ones that killed Blizzard North and the good Diablo 3 we could've had.
yeaa that migh be true

Last Anime show I watched. Can't believe it has been over three years.
Glad you are enjoying yourself here. It's true, only after basically leaving all of Gaf and only staying here, I got more "connected" to the place. It is a community after all.
Thread can get weird and leads to heavy skimming - like the last 10 pages - but there are good posts which get overlooked thus.
Like Phawx's impressions on that game.
I posted my quick look previously but this time I have an a written impression:
***
My Quick Look on Kingdom:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx25K_bgHfg
Quick Impressions: Before I begin, it's technically a spoiler to read anything about Kingdom. The game is obtuse and slow on purpose. It's designed this way so that the fun of the game is in the exploration. And even though I really dislike games that pad game length with nonsense filler, Kingdom uses the speed of the game as a mechanic. It took me 21~ hours to beat the game.
Kingdom is a real-time strategy game (with permadeath) where the playable character cannot attack or direct his troops. Instead you can only recruit more people and upgrade your fortress. After recruiting people from remote camps, you have to assign them jobs.
There are four jobs. Five if you consider the different states of the archers. Again, this info is spoilery.
Workers - The only class that can build or repair structures. The only weapon they can fire is the trebuchet.
Farmers - Can only generate money and will not attack.
Archers - In Defensive mode, they are able to "Hunt and Gather" which is the only resource (gold coins) you need to collect.
Archers - In Offensive Mode, can only be toggled by creating knights. Every Knight that is created will convert three of your defensive archers to offensive archers. Offensive archers will not Hunt and Gather.
Knights - The last class to unlock. They can only be sent to do battle once you have a flag raised on either end of your fortress. They are primarily used as a wall to protect your offensive archers, but they can attack anything directly in front of them.
The game has no story, but it's presentation is stellar. The OST juxtaposed against the chunky yet serene pixel art produces this almost zen-like symphony. It is a rare game that can so purposefully 'waste' my time yet pull me in to unravel its mysteries.
Additionally, for the people with disabilities or for parents reading this, the game can be played one-handed. So you can hold a child in one arm and use the arrow keys on the keyboard with the other. This is a killer feature in terms of easy accessibility.
Please try to limit how much you read into this game if you're interested. Only look for walkthroughs and other things if you are completely stuck. Again, learning how to beat the game is the 'fun' of the game.
Highly Recommended
Also please excuse the flowery language. I really like the game.

Speaking about VSR (Virtual Super Resolution) I assume I don't have a monitor really for it? I enable it (2560 x 1440 on my 1080p monitor) and everything is small (which I expected) but it's too blurry to actually use. Apparently I am only supposed to use it in games but, I wanted to see if it was possible to use for desktop use as well.

Yaaaaaaasssss. Turn to the dark side. :3
And lashman doesn't even eat bread. Dirt is good enough because... GAMES!
In my experience, actually trying to display anything other than native resolution on your display will lead to blurriness.
It works in games because you're basically rendering at X and then downsampling to display at Y, which is generally the native resolution for your display.

That does make sense. Guess ill have to get a better monitor one of these days.
The 20k post soft limit came about after they started having database problems once a certain number of posts were reached (the site would become slow and unresponsive) because of... stuff. Since then threads have been locked after 20k posts, as it's also a good cutoff point to make a new thread.

First they take our 60fps, now our kb/m.
We have to rise against those pesky, introvert-console pc-converts.

That's the advantage of PC. Play games under your preferences, not a hardware manufacturer or developer.
I would personally use a mouse, but that shouldn't effect your experience.

lashman posted this. Just wanted to chime in that I really like their performance visualization.

Not interested in the single player, but the multiplayer looks like it could be fun.
Well seems Rise of the Tomb Raider not only features actual tombs this time but they're pretty swish too!
Also I remember when The Division had volumetric fog bellowing out of manhole covers that would be indirectly lit from scenery like car tail lights. That brief twitter vid looked like it has nothing more than animated sprites instead
Be interesting to see how the final version of it turns out on all platforms but I get the feeling all of them are going to be a ways away from the reveal 'gameplay' trailer.

No, that is actually far from good.
However much people hate Ubisoft, Vivendi and its CEO are worse.

Maybe he's just too pro with kb/m and wants a challenge. Derexperte claims to use a controller to "up his challenge". Probably similar to why people try to beat games with dancepads and guitar controllers.
Hey now, no reason you can't do both.
*High-Five*
Even those that don't... get a PGP profile.
This is why I was interested in the Steam controller... but I refunded my pre-order to get rocket league removed from my account since they wouldn't convert it to an inventory item for me.
Hahahahaha... fair point.
*kick to the nads*
Take that, you elitist prickbag.
This is extremely civil of you. Bravo.

I watched the Quick Look GB did for AC Syndicate...they seemed to enjoy it and also pointed out things people may have issues with so I think it was really fair and balanced on both sides of the argument

It's the best we'll get when consoles are involved, but imagine people not taking half a minute to turn around and aim and there's some potential, like the maps need more verticality but the one shown has a hint of the old fps vibe from the good old days. Except those melee attacks.
That's cool, the older I get the worse my reflexes become so more canon fodder bumbling about is appreciated.

And if that type of thing makes up more than 1% of the actual game, I might be interested in giving this game a shot. But considering the previous game, I'll wait for impressions and a sale.
