I think it's because your game-related posts are often dire warnings about how awful Game X is, while effusive praise from you seems much more rare. (Not that warning people away from potentially awful games is a bad thing, mind. You're definitely doing a valuable service there, even if we can't always agree on what constitutes "bad". It'd just be neat to see you get amped up about the games you like too, the way are now about Remember Me. In the words of a great sage, "Please be excited." ; ) )

which isn't 5 game, though, you do understand that Remember me and Amalur are compared because they have similar price, not because they have anything in common aside of that, don't you?

You literally ride a mine cart on rails in RE4.
Yep.
Even the part that is literally on-rails is not on-rails.
EDIT: Ah, he meant on-rails as in not being able to move while shooting.
What is Ultra SFIV doing on the promotion page anyway, any hopes for a discount?
I don't get it
I don't get it
Shooting a pistol accurately is actually incredibly difficult, the difficulty increases when your target is moving.
You can shoot while moving, but its rarely done.
Hey, I trumpeted about Remember me every time it was on sale for the last like, year, and I kept trying to drum up interest in Unrest (which seems to have failed). I also tried to hype up Murdered around the time when the AMD vouchers were ending and it was on sale on amazon uk. It's okay though, I know nobody ever reads my posts
It's true I'm more... vocal... when I don't like something, but it's easier to say things about something you don't like than about something you DO like, just in case you spoil something you want people to experience for themselves
I remembered I played Resident Evil 4 on the Wii for literally 5 mins while at a friend's house one early summer 5 years ago.
oh you mean the part where you ride the trolley cars across a chasm and you can literally move around in the cart and have to in order to dodge things and move to other carts?
First and only game that ever gave me motion sickness but what little I managed to play was great. Much more refined than the first one.

1. Which is it? played one or not?
2. Well there aren't any on-rails sections in RE4 (Unless you wanna be literal with the minecart where you can and usually have to move. Not to mention that sequence is fairly far into the game). In RE5 there is. You sure you didn't play RE5?
Regardless I would recommend that you get RE4 if you're gonna get one at all.
Brah were you trippin on molly
I never played too much of either since I don't really like rhythm games, but everything surrounding the gameplay is pretty great in Runner 2. If you liked the first, I'm sure you'll love it.

Hahah yeah that was totally me.
Pleased to have met you! I hope i didnt intrude on your weekend too much. Was trying to be cool about it and not interrupt conversations or be to aggressive.I played 4 on a Wii for 5 minutes, played like maybe 30 mins-1 hour of Resident Evil 5. I don't mean like literally on-rail. BUT it was strange at the time that I can't move and shoot at the same time.
I had a crush on a girl named Molly at the time. So yeah, I was quite tripping.

Still technically on rails even though I'm pretty sure shadownet was referring to the tank controls in the first place.

Not so long as it isn't the heavy breathing outside my window late at night kinda love.
Oh you mean like every other Resident Evil game?
I also had the first one on wii.
If you loved the first one then you'll love this one... But maybe not the cut scenes you'll see or skip.
I never got to any tank lol. I literally mean it was kinda stupid (at the time) that I can shoot, but in order to move. I have to stop aiming down sight, move, realign and shoot again. At the time I have never play a game like that before. and playing on the Wii with my jittery arms wasn't helping.

Haven't played RE6, huh?
Tank controls mean slow to move and turn your character. Not an actual tank lol.
Wii version was definitive version until new PC version came out
Up until that time smarty pants.
Tank controls is not about thanks, but the way your character moves
See? I spend a combined of maybe less than 1 hour on all the Resident Evil game. So yeah I don't know what tank control mean. But I will buy Resident Evil 4 and give it another try. After all. Leon Kennedy is a
you know.

I need a partner. D: (I also need to finish Silent Hill 3 and Demon's Souls first backlog commitment lists ho!)
Actually, that's technically not what tank controls refers to. It refers to the specific way you control a character in Resident Evil (and similar games). Basically, you can only move forward or backward, and you have to stop all forward motion in order to rotate your character before you can move in a different direction. You literally steer your character the way you would a tank.
It's a zombie game. What the hell does it matter if that kind of shooting is unrealistic? All that should matter is gameplay feeling good, and for me it doesn't.
It is as good, but way easier. Like, a lot. If that's a good or bad thing is up to you to decide.
Gameplay is the same, with some nice new additions. And it's a lot longer, plus you have to play it three times, once in each difficulty, if you want to 100% it.
Does Steamworld Dig get less tedious? I've only played about an hour of it but the inventory limit is kinda annoying. I can see the potential for not mindlessly digging down but it feels like you can't spend more than three minutes digging before you inventory gets filled. I would like it a lot more if it was like the caves with more focused platforming.
I agree completely, realism in of itself is such a worthless goal outside of sims.

Not really I'd change trajectory in RE2 all the time running against walls when hallways were starting to get too crowded or turn around until they implemented quick turn shortcuts in later games.
It's probably the least popular with fans but it's doesn't seem like a bad game. I watched Dusk Golem play it and bought it since it looked like fun even though it's not what I'd expect or want from an RE game.
Now I really want to see someone wire up a Battlezone cabinet to a PC or Playstation and play through one of the old RE games that way.

Woo, nice! Was posting about that a couple of days ago - I really liked the art in the screenshots.

Yep. The game doesn't teach you anything though, so you have to experiment a bit with the controls and maybe read something online. But it feels really good when you know what you're doing.

You're likely not to meant to be noticing her forehead.
Don't be quite as thorough with your digging, and don't be afraid to buy teleporters. You'll also discover portals back to the surface pretty often which will make town sell trips pretty quick. In general strive to move on to the next new area and ability, it will make the game a lot more enjoyable, and you can still come back later and be more completionist. The caves you find with the new abilities are much more platform and puzzle based than the main area is. Also, buy the inventory expansions when you can, that will make things a lot smoother.

Ive been working hard on my indie game Cosmochoria which is hitting Steam Early Access on Sept 29!
Its got a little naked dude with tiny nips freezing in the dead cold of space. His junk is shrunken to nigh invisibility. He plants seeds, they sprout and give him more seeds, he respawns a galaxy. He gets shot with fire in his face. He shoots dragons in their face. Aliens arrive. You upgrade your shit. You drop bombs like in Contra 3. You get stronger. You get awesomer. You jetpack everywhere and go through portals and find hidden secret pets that help you kill and lick your wounds and make time portals and its the greatest game ever created in the history of mankind.
(shouts to Ryo Hazuki for the gif)
Huge stack of GAF Kickstarter homies will be getting their steam keys in a couple weeks tops.
