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 :)
oh fuck, i hadn’t even though of that. It’s even more ironic because i was half considering pinging my friends and asking if any of them wanted to play Halo yesterday
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks for remembering! I kinda liked how they just threw you into Firebreak. I get why some gamers were confused, but I love it when a developer shies away from the hand-holding and over-explaining we all get these days. It’s got so much that it needs, really is a bit bare…but still, I’m enjoying it!!! And I’m glad you are too, the game doesn’t seen to have made much of a splash
Absolutely! I hope it can find an audience soon; it’s not perfect, but I love it so much.
I didn’t mind the slow ramp-up in jobs, but I’m guessing that the change to more easily unlock level 3 jobs can help more people see what makes it special (Hot Fix, in particular, is just spectacular in level 3). And I love a game that, as the devs said well before release, doesn’t want to hold you hostage and keep you playing indefinitely. In some ways, it feels like it was designed twenty years ago, and for me? That’s a great thing.
Solo play isn’t too rough, then? Some jobs have been incredibly hectic with just two, so I’m curious about whether or not it works alone.
Good read, as always. The link to lego island is broken, on my end at least (it redirects to LW).
For copyright reasons I’d rather it be the link to the decompiled/ported source code rather than directly to the game itself. I doubt they got the 3d models IP owner autorisation to use them, thus falling into the no linking to piracy rule.
The game was deemed abandonware years ago now, featuring both on the site myabandonware and on archive.org. There’s no complaints from LEGO itself as a brand since being shared there, but I’ll just remove the link entirely for you since you’re worried!
Honesty I’d agree that it should be allowed, but the EU has a much more strict rules on fair use than most countries has. And as LW is hosted in the EU, that’s the rule we have to follow.
But the jurisprudence made it clear that source code is considered as ok as soon as it does not contain copyrighted materials (original 3d models, music, etc). That why I’d prefer to link directly to the source code.
And if they have a direct link to the playable version of that game on said repository, that’s not our problem anymore 😅.
Hey, don’t worry! Better safe than sorry, this way at least if people reading are curious and want to find it (and play!) they can search it up, I’d assume. No problems!!!
Congrats on the cabin! Is that more of a home or a getaway?
Also, I’m one of those guys who grew up on Lego Island. I can’t say I’d want to revisit it for anything other than a history lesson, but it was in fact important to a lot of us.
I’ll keep my apartment in the city, of course, but I like the idea of having somewhere that I will perhaps be less inclined to work, or stay in a chair/sofa, and instead keep running wild. That’s the hope, anyway!
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.
That being said, thank you very much for your high quality content and I hope you can fix your health problems soon 😊
