Is it still mostly melee combat? Games with good melee are tough to come by, and I remember the first being pretty good with all the running and jumping
After 20 hours of manually placed footsteps… Baby Steps is complete! Probably one of my favorite games this year, the story was thin but the writing was hilarious and kept me climbing to reach the next cutscene. The credits screen shows a dotted line of your path as you went and, since I played with my partner, we were constantly laughing as the dot rolled down hills and reminded us of our tumbles. If you have patience and are okay with occasional immature humor it’s worth a play. I thought the ending was perfect for what the game was.
I also finished Sniper Elite V2, it was good but showed its age. The new games were still too expensive so I got the Zombie Army Trilogy (an offshoot of the Sniper Elite series) for $5 as the autumn sale ended and have been having fun kicking skeletons apart
What’s Dying Light like? I played the first a bit and had fun, but haven’t been following the series lately
I actually didn’t know that until a few days ago, I’m playing the original! They definitely went the right route in the newer games with the sandbox level design, but I’m still having fun with the linear levels
Wow, congrats on beating Silksong! I’ve been watching my partner play and am afraid of the bosses, not sure how far I’ll get in it.
I’m slowly working through Baby Steps and having a blast with every tumble. It’s hard at first but after a handful of hours I’ve got a rhythm to scramble up most inclines. I find the navigation fun in the same way I like Snowrunner’s exploration: difficult terrain that can be learned and quickly traversed.
I’m also finishing Sniper Elite V2 because I never completed it and I didn’t want to buy the new Resistance game.
That’s surprisingly similar to my experience! I played the original a handful of times when it released but never beat 2 because it came out at a time when I was busy.
Somehow I did end up playing a bit of Death of the Outsider and really enjoyed what I saw, I should revisit the series to give them a fair chance
These threat actors bypassed initial security screening from Valve which allowed the deployment of malicious patches and infected multiple users of the platform.
Good call! Considering the initial safety check they do before approval this seems like the easiest way for it to happen
You’re 100% right, but it’s also a problem of devs underpricing themselves. They’ll work for 2 years on a game and then set its regular price at $5, which actually limits its reach (shoppers see the price and skip over it, thinking it’s low quality) and helps make a race to the bottom that’s already destroyed the mobile market.
Silksong isn’t going to upend the market, some of the quotes are silly, and it’s not underpriced since they were going to sell millions upon millions of copies anyway. But the wider discussion of pricing is important since lots of developers don’t seem to understand the larger picture.
