Reposting my screenshots of Marlow Briggs I took when I played it last year


Kratos aint' got shit on Marlow Briggs
Click to expand...

Marlow Briggs was a large disappointment and your spoiler is backwards in my experience.

The cheesy writing can be funny at first, but it quickly becomes stale... lack of boss fights (there might be about 3, but 2 of them are kind of throwaway, only the final encounter actually lived up to what I expected from a game like this...) and extremely repetitive gameplay don't do it any favors either. It never felt like I was going anywhere or had any purpose either, just "oh, let me find my way to the next arena with the same enemies i fought 8346 times already".

You could buy worse for the $1 that it normally runs during sales, but it's definitely not anything special or worth the praise some of the posters in here lavish upon it (IMO, of course. ;) ).

Only uPlay ties I have are from linking my Ubi games on PS3/4. Origin's much the same deal, but I actually have games on Origin.

I'm just worried that they'll use the same reasoning in later LiS episodes.
Running out of otherwise infinite rewind juice to conveniently create tense story moments would be pretty terrible and hope they don't do it again so transparently at least.

But we'll see.

can't tell ya beyond episode 2, but i thought that case at least was justified

Tales from the Borderlands was great, I really enjoy this universe.

Makes me pine for a BL3 even more now.

Episode 5 spoiler:
I'm shocked 93.3% of people prefer RhysxSasha to RhysxFiona, what is wrong with everybody? To my fellow 6.7% people, well done!

Meh, might as well use my groupees coin on that, now worth $7. The only bundles that cost more than $2.5 on pre-order are the visual novel ones, and I don't play them very often. Plus, there was that rumor that groupees were not paying the devs. Maybe they're in financial trouble.

I backed Project Scissors but those latest images released are really making it clear that it's also a mobile game for fuck knows what reason. Still, Nude Maker have made some great games and I love Clock Tower so hopefully it turns out well even if it doesn't have a Clock Tower 3 level budget.

I'll probably get the Gold Edition of AC Syndicate off Nuuvem next month...it'll be $38 and since that's not much more than what the standard edition is going for I'll just go that route so I'll have the whole thing

Cool, Hatred is in. Pretty bad rest though.
Also, we can name the game Hatred, haha. Just not talk about it, ethics etc.

Also also, here in image form.

It was always unlikely. People have a tendency to bring up AssCreed Unity, unaware of or ignoring the fact that the situations aren't alike.
