This is very cool. My partner and I are bigger fans of life is strange 2 and we have it on the bucket list to take a few weeks traveling from Seattle down the coast until we get to Mexico.
Unfortunately I cannot stand driving and I don’t think either of us want to visit America for a while but I still hope to do it one day.
The big things from the game would be the redwoods and the US border I guess. Still irks me that the fandom didn’t turn up for LiS2, which I found vastly better - but at least we get that. Lost Records definitely feels like dontnod leaning in to the long-term LiS1 fanbase anyway, to me.
Sounds like another success for id. I’m curious how players (as in general public) who liked 2016 but didn’t vibe with Eternal feel about it in a few months to a year. I’ll guess I’ll keep an eye out on those discussions.
There’s truly nothing else like it on the market right now, especially in today’s overly sanitized, pussy ass snowflake-infested gaming landscape.
I’m glad he found an extremely rare example of a game that doesn’t offend his delicate sensibilities, I guess? I’m sure it’s not easy being a REAL MEN’s MAN these days.
Bloom and Rage is a perfect example of this. It’s a complete horrible garbage mess of soulless characters, terrible voice acting, horrible sound mixing, and a trash story and somehow it’s very positive. There are some negative, sane comments. I loved Life is Strange 1, but hooo boy is Bloom and Rage bad. It’s about a band and the music is not even music. It’s very funny, though.
Recently i played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in Switch, because XC3 was very good and XC1 was even better. So i heard the community praising it, and i gave it a try. Man i hate this game so much, i really had years to play something just only to finish the story. This is the reason to always check both sides.
This is the exact game that came to my mind. Overwhelming positive reviews for a game that seems like it was created using Grandma’s description of “those funny Japanese cartoons my grandson watches” as the main creative direction. I know JRPGs are gonna have weeb elements but I didn’t expect the entire game to be capturing big tiddy anime girls to beat your enemies “with friendship”. Every boss you beat suddenly comes back alive and beats you in the cutscenes. Your still learning new game elements 40 hours in. One of your main teammates is a Jar Jar Binks character obsessed with building his own sex slave robot. My number one most hated game that i actually best mostly because I kept playing it thinking “at some point this has to stop being a pile of weeb dog shit and develop into a real game right?”
Definitely agree on gacha and oversexualization. I played with Japanese audio, so can’t comment on English VA. The rest I didn’t have an issue with, but I can see why someone else would.
I play, almost exclusively, non-AAA games. Some gems, known and hidden:
Autonauts and Autonauts Vs Piratebots - Cute automation games
Spelunky - Elegantly simple and well executed platformer
BPM: Bullets Per Minute - Rhythm FPS. Others have tried. None I have found have been as good.
Immortal Redneck - FPS roguelite
Ziggurat - FPS Roguelite
Receiver II - Unique FPS roguelike. Every part of everything that moves is simulated. The hammer on your gun hits a firing pin which hits the primer on the cartridge. You can get stovepipes, misfires, double feeds, etc. You don’t reload by hitting ‘reload’ but go through the full manual of arms in a shooter where the tolerances for failure are fairly slim.
Valley - running game. The feeling of letting a hill propel your running to otherwise impossible speeds, bottled. Nice little story too.
Dredge - Lovecraftian fishing game.
Tunnet - lovecraftian network technician simulator. Build a network to allow communication between computers in an underground society with unspeakable horrors occasionally destroying your mind/body.
Opus Magnum - Programming puzzles
Vagante - roguelike with tight tolerances
Ruiner - Cyberpunk slash n dash with a soundtrack half by Sidewalks and Skeletons. Very fun.
Tails Noir - Detective story. Normally find the anthro thing a bit tiresome but this was pretty good. Well written.
Elderborn - First person brawler
Webbed - be a peacock spider. Rescue your lady spider. Help insects. Fight a bird. Dance.
A Story About My Uncle - Movement game. Jump, dash, grapnel. Simple and elegant.
Tormentor X Punisher - Top down twin stick shooter. Everything dies in one hit. All the enemies, and you.
Tin Can - Survival game in which you try to keep up an escape pod long enough to be rescued, which is hard when it seems to have been made by the lowest bidder’s lowest bidding subcontractor and maintained with all the loving care of a convenience store bathroom.
I liked that it wasn’t a parody of itself. Most of the writing could have been unchanged if it hadn’t been anthro themed. And the writing was nice, nothing ham-fisted, and had some respect for the reader. I keep running into games where you’ve just talked to an NPC about how they need you to hit the blue button, and you’ve gone through a hallway of posters saying your goal is to hit the blue button, had a quest marker guiding you there that says ‘this way to the blue button you need to press,’ and your character still feels the need to speak to the air about the need to hit the blue button when you walk into the blue button room.
With the amount of content the main game of Baba Is You comes with, alongside the level editor and custom modded level packs people have made for it, would 100% recommend it.
Undoubtedly the best, most complete 2D platformer I’ve ever played. Super tight controls and incredible level design, coupled with an episode-long timer mechanic that you can influence makes this one absolutely unmatched. Sure, games like Celeste are flashier, but nothing is a better game than N++. I think I put something like 120 hours into this to get the platinum on PS4. I would happily start over and play the whole thing from scratch again.
I still think about how I managed to finish it once, then tried again 1 month later only to be completely dumbfounded as to how to get the damn yellow block upgrade again
I will warn you that the platforming can be challenging, but if it’s too stressful Celeste offers almost unparalleled accessibility options that will allow you fine control over the difficulty so no matter your skill level you’ll be able to progress.
Great story, cozy atmosphere but still emotional impact, and the only “fighting” you do is against yourself.
Corporate bribery to lock you into some shit service like amazon. No thanks…I’ll keep my money, and just buy the games I want instead. I will save money in the long run
Nah, you can unsubscribe after a month. If the price of the games you want is more expensive than a month of Prime, you come out ahead, and it can frequently work out in your favor.
