I support you as well, I feel like with the release of stadium we’re finally at ow 1.5

But this last year they have taken huge strides to improve the game.

I feel most complaints I here now are it doesn’t do x that this game does… And that’s because it’s not that game

Is it possible to “win” without leaving the table?

Damn, I came really close the other day. Managed to live through the “the game will kill you now” event. Unfortunately I couldn’t keep up when I was at the boss.

But to progress the game you have to get up.

But when you finish the game a new mode is added allowing you to play normally with increasingly more difficult challenges you can put on yourself.

Toes,

Yeah I gave it a shot. I couldn’t either, I’m not a big fan of escape room mechanics so I was really hoping I could. Thanks for trying

The important stuff is fortunately almost totally spelled out and hard to miss.

PhilipTheBucket,

Yeah, almost to an excessive degree. To me it’s fine, it just means the designer has room to grow in terms of their skill at getting the right balance, but also it’s going to be a little bit of personal taste. This video includes some pretty interesting discussion of the balance between spelling things out, making sure that everyone can notice and enjoy them, versus making things opaque knowing that you’ll leave some people behind but making it that much more special for the people who found them “all by themselves” without any kind of prompting.

Game spoilers and subjective opinions below, be careful.

spoilerI enjoyed all parts of Inscryption, but I think Act 1 was the best part of the game. The gameplay of act 2 wasn’t great and had too many mechanics flying around. Act 3 just felt too sterile and devoid of charm. I get that that was what they were going for, but I think I would have preferred multiple rooms in the shack over multiple chapters. There needs to be more games like Pokemon TCG for the gameboy (which is what Act 2 was referencing) though. With a card game that fits it.

AdamBomb,

Agree on all points. Act 1 was the best. Your reward for playing all the way through is you get to play Act 1 again, as a full-fledged game of its own.

PhilipTheBucket,

Yeah. It’s not a perfect game, it has many issues, but it is fun and exciting and it does something very very different, very successfully. I’m reminded of the Zero Punctuation review of Psychonauts basically saying that its number one good point was that it was something genuinely mad and original, in contrast to the sea of imitation that is modern gaming, and for that alone hooray.

blarth,

Spoiler as well.

This game blew my mind when Golly asked me to select a file on my computer to sacrifice. Such a cool breaking of the 4th wall.

Add me to the crosswinds hype train! Can’t get enough pirate games 🙌

I loved the ocean mechanics and the feeling of Sea of Thieves when it launched so long ago, but it’s now been years since I was into that game religiously. Now I just find myself, every now and then, hoping for more in the setting! Lucky us we’ve got at least one to hope is good :)

But on the off-chance you’ve not seen it, Captain Blood is on GOG!

And there is even a demo of it on GOG too, with this link if you’d like to try it!

who, do gaming w Here's why Inscryption is a good game

I only played through the first stage of the game before putting it aside. Thanks for reminding me that I ought to pick it up again and continue.

(Nitpick: Unique doesn’t have degrees. A thing can be very, very unusual, or it can be unique if nothing else like it exists.)

PhilipTheBucket,

All I can say is you’re missing out… I can see that it’s a type of game that may not be for everybody, but it is honestly probably the most unusual game I have ever played in my life and I’m enjoying it a lot. I almost did the same as you did, I beat Leshy one time and then continued messing around with it sort of out of curiosity… and then the whole actual fuckin’ game started.

It just made me pick a file from my hard drive, made me a card based on it, and then told me if I let that card die, it’s going to delete that file. This game is nuts man.

who,

lol… I had a feeling it would take some drastic turns. That’s great. No more spoilers, please. I do intend to get back to it.

In case you’re not familiar with it, Doki Doki Literature Club has some surprises, too. I enjoyed it even though visual novels are usually not my jam.

PhilipTheBucket,

Yeah. That one was on my list to play but I haven’t checked it out yet, I have heard similar things about it.

Chronographs,

As I understand it all of daniel mullins’ games have layers like inscryption, to put it mildly. I’d check them out when you finish inscryption if you’ve enjoyed it

AbelianGrape,

Americans often incorrectly ascribe degrees to “unique.” At this point it’s so baked into all of their dialects that it’s hard for me to keep calling it wrong.

PhilipTheBucket,

TIL.

www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/unique definition 3 includes examples like “very unique” and “fairly unique.” So it’s incorrect only if you assume that American usage is wrong and British usage is right, I guess. According to the Cambridge Dictionary I think you are right about how it’s used in British English.

Those PC-88 graphics look so good. I don’t think there’s many that have been translated to English yet.

Clair Obscure: Expedition 33. 60 hours in, still going through all the content in act 3. It’s really addictive, beautiful and fresh.

theangriestbird,

when you say “fresh”, what do you mean, exactly?

lustyargonian,

Something that’s very different, unique, with its own touch to everything.

  1. There’s very little explanation about the story despite a lot of really high quality cut scenes
  2. The combat is turn based but also very real time due to parries, dodges, jumps and what not
  3. The turn based combat is very addictive and yet very easy to understand.
  4. The art, you probably have never seen stuff like you see in the game
  5. The dialogues are really well thought
  6. Music, fresh.

Basically, they are doing a lot of stuff that isn’t what you commonly see in games yet it all works really well together.

theangriestbird,

yeah i understood what you meant, just was asking for your specifics. Which you also provided! So thank you, I appreciate the added insight

lustyargonian,

I love folks over at lemmy :D

If the name of the developer of the nintendo switch pirate store is blawar, you should know that he is a transphobic, right-wing nut who was arrested for beating his wife.

Thank you for doing these!

And I still don’t get what is the value proposition for the Junk Store when Heroic exists, seems like it allows for less tinkering and I don’t see it as a positive thing considering how janky the Linux experience can still be at times

smeg,

I guess they’re trying to make it more integrated and covering every source they can, but something about taking an open source project and turning it into a subscription service to play the games you already bought on the computer you already bought is… not to my taste
