AceFuzzLord,

I don’t know how must have it is, but I’ve been enjoying Isles of Sea and Sky, a sokoban type puzzle game currently 10% off until July 11th (currently $17.99). I’m pretty sure it’s maybe a month or two old at least.

AceFuzzLord,

Can’t be spoiled if you’re already confused

AceFuzzLord,

Just started the 3rd public release of Pokemon Vanguard. The almost all the regionals in the game look absolutely fantastic. Doesn’t follow the standard 8 gyms, fight evil team, defeat them, elite 4 pattern from most official and fan games I’ve played. In this one you end up going to some trainer school (vanguard academy), becoming a legal pokemon trainer in the region, and do assignments. So far I’ve only done one and it’s a pretty fun game.

It has 3 difficulty options, options for turning every battle to be a double battle (I assume this doesn’t work on wild pokemon but I have no clue), doing a monorun of every type that won’t let you catch anything other than the type you’re using, and a streamer mode that replaces music that could get you copyrighted. All before you begin the game. Also, I think you can find just about every starter from any of the games, with most of them being regionals with new types, like poison fire chimchar. Even has gen 9 pokemon, which I’m glad is becoming more common.

The Indie Chat & Recommendation Thread (cdn.imgchest.com)

“Inspired” by the Square-Enix putting their foot in their mouth thread, I thought it’d be interesting to make a little thread about indie games. People always talk about wanting to try different, cheaper titles, but with how hard it is to get good gaming news and the state of advertisement/marketing, word of mouth tends to...

AceFuzzLord,

Warning! First three games feature anthro animals!

• Corn Kidz 64: if you like games that play like they were made for older consoles (n64 in this case) and directly ported to modern PC (requires controller and has no mouse and keyboard support). Currently $6.99USD on Steam. Long enough to leave me satisfied but short enough to make me want more.

• Brok the InvestiGator: describes itself as the very first punch and click, having a point and click mode and a character control mode. Has multiple endings depending on how you play and what you do. Currently $19.99USD on Steam and has for $4.99 and $3.99 respectively a soundtrack and artbook DLC. Base game includes unlockable fan art and official character sheets. Also has a demo that contains all of chapter 1 of the full game, so you can see if it’s a game for you.

• Amorous: NSFW furry dating sim visual novel game. Free to play. Can’t get a real date? Have fun trying to get into the pants of virtual people instead! Warning! Contains nudity and visible genitals! Currently $0.00USD on Steam. Must be logged in to look at Steam page, but no such requirement for the itchio page.

• Ardor: free to play deck builder. Hasn’t been updated much since launch, I’m pretty sure. Play as a hexagon fighting other hexagons on a board of hexagons. Last I checked it currently has attack cards, movement cards, and cards that allow you to infect enemies. After each round you get to use the in game currency to upgrade things like how far an attack can reach, damage, how far you can move, etcetera. All numbers can go up for the right price. Currently $0.00USD on Steam. Has a $5.99USD support the developer DLC that, as far as I’m aware, doesn’t actually do anything.

I have played all these games, so I can vouch for them in various ways. I also tried not going over $25USD before tax to be a little more accessible to people who don’t have a lot of extra funds for games and tried not to go super well known and popular (even though I’m pretty sure Markiplier did a video on Amorous if I remember correctly)

AceFuzzLord,

It’s such a fun game, but I kinda dropped it after I accidentally glitched my game and got my story mode save wiped in an old update.

AceFuzzLord,

That’s usually what I do every once in a while whenever I decide to play. The amount of cool strategies you can do is fun. Especially if you aren’t like me and refuse to learn how to play toad mage or animal companion person.

AceFuzzLord,

I personally like playing the bird and robot the most.

AceFuzzLord,

At this point, we have some absolutely impressive Portal 2 mods that, in my opinion, definitely make up for not having Portal 3. We’ve got Tag (the paint gun mod), Thinking With Portals (a short one that gives you the ability to create a clone thing that copies recorded actions), and I’ve been playing through one I just found out about called Revolution that is pretty cool so far.

I personally like to think that the fans have done a good enough job at creating mods and maps that a Portal 3 would be redundant.

AceFuzzLord,

It makes sense to delist games you can’t play in another country due to not being able to make an account so that someone doesn’t buy your game and then go for an automatic refund after finding out they can’t play it, but still a dick move.

AceFuzzLord,

Depends on the game. As great as retro games are, I could never give up newer indie titles like Baba Is You or Brok The Investigator, which would be much shorter games or have other problems if they were made for consoles pre-internet games download days.

Though I will say that retro games like Sonic 1 & 2 on Genesis or Ratchet and Clank on PS2 are pretty much infinitely better than the triple AAA slop they’re throwing at us today.

Especially when we have companies (like sweet baby inc.) forcing characters to be changed to Mary Sue’s all because we need inclusivity. I have no problems with inclusivity at all, but I have a major problem with poorly written characters in games that have absolutely nothing going for them besides being perfect.

AceFuzzLord,

A little bit of Crash N. Sane trilogy and starting a new run of Fallout New Vegas on hard difficulty hardcore mode, alongside more slogging through Baba Is You.

Never completed a single run on the games I’ve played in the Fallout series, yet for some reason I decided to start another playthrough and do hardcore mode for the first time because clearly I hate myself. Currently maybe 5-6 levels in and it ain’t easy compared to the really cool melee build save on my desktop.

AceFuzzLord,

Analog stick. Most of the time I end up finding that the dpad on my 360 controller doesn’t feel as good to me compared to as an analog stick. That, and the majority of games I used to play growing up used analog stick for movement, so it’s engrained in me.

AceFuzzLord,

One of my biggest complaints with the switch is definitely how my hands are too big for me to be truly comfortable with holding them when they’re disconnected from the console. Either one in each hand or one for both hands. That, and I think the batteries in my joycons are a little screwed, so I just said fuck it and got a controller because the last few times I used my switch was connected to a TV.

AceFuzzLord,

Stuff like this makes me wish I was smart enough to be one of those DRM crackers.

AceFuzzLord,

Closest I’ve come to this is how I’ve overplayed the few games I’ve been playing recently and it’s started to become boring because of it. Though, I think I’ve ended up addicted enough to where I couldn’t fully quit games as a hobby, even if I wanted.

AceFuzzLord,

Biggest reason I play visual novels is definitely for story and lack of gameplay, usually (cough cough Danganronpa cough cough). Gameplay means little to me if I’m really interested in the story and wanna see it through.

AceFuzzLord,

Let’s not give them any ideas or they might actually do it!

AceFuzzLord,

88 = Heil Hitler

That’s one I’ve never heard before. Is it some sort of neonazi slang or am I just really dumb?

Well, looked it up before posting this comment. That’s absolutely crazy that it’s an actual thing.

AceFuzzLord,

I personally like to think this trend of enshittification in the gaming industry is geared more towards the triple AAA side of things because a lot of the actual indie devs (not the people putting out low effort mobile games or shovelware or scams or straight up large corporatios masquerading their games as indie titles) are putting out some of the best games I’ve seen in years for single player experiences.

Though I absolutely agree with your assessment of the situation in general.

AceFuzzLord,

I don’t think I can recall something truly novel since I think we’ve pretty much gone past the point of novel concepts in the majority of genres, but there have definitely been standouts in certain genres over the years.

In the deck building and rogue like genre we’ve seen Balatro, the poker based game. In the retro inspired games genre, we’ve got Corn Kidz 64, a shorter game that controls and looks like an N64 title.

Totally depends on the genre, though.

Anyone else addicted to Balatro right now? (www.playbalatro.com) angielski

I’m not usually a huge fan of rogue-likes, but I’ve enjoyed a few, like Hades. I bought Balatro last week and have been absolutely smashing it ever since then. I love the way the game works, each run being so different even within the same framework, and the feeling when your build starts to go off is so incredibly...

AceFuzzLord,

Absolutely addicted. Not as addicted as when I first got it, but still addicted. Spent the last few times playing just trying to beat the challenge of beating a game in 12 or less rounds. Only way I could beat it is by the throwback joker being in the shop for the first time. Definitely a fun game.

AceFuzzLord,

Even if I am pretty sure I’m not getting a virus, I’m always nervous when that happens regardless of the program on my desktop.

AceFuzzLord,

This series ain’t for everyone, but I personally like the Hatsune Miku Project Diva rhythm games and recommend them since I like the variety of songs they have.

AceFuzzLord,

The latest one is, but all the others ain’t yet as far as I am aware. Either way, it blows my mind they decided to go that route, making a playstation less desirable.

AceFuzzLord,

Well, you sold me on not playing Helldivers for the same reason I will never play Lethal Company: bug creatures.

AceFuzzLord,

Well, this image summarized how I look at all professionals at a specific game regardless of how they actually are like.

AceFuzzLord,

I personally think the main series Danganronpa games alongside Despair Girls have enough of a play through the main story mode (don’t know if there are any other modes for Despair Girls) and then you don’t replay almost ever type of gameplay since they’re visual novels, technically. (I don’t consider them visual novels because I consider those to be just images/animations and a text box on screen with no control over a character).

The 3rd game even has a mode you unlock at the end that has replayability, though, so I don’t know if that would disqualify it.

Also, another game I like with pretty much no replayability besides watching your favorite scenes play out would be the point and click adventure game Beyond the Edge of Owlsgarde. It’s a game that, if you know what you’re doing, can be completed in 2 hours. My first playthrough took a lot longer though, since I didn’t know what I was doing. Also, it only has 2 endings and if you miss the good ending, you’ll get a hint at the end of the bad ending which will guide you to the good ending.

AceFuzzLord,

As much as I love the 2nd game, my biggest gripe is that there is no way to replay missions without having to replay the game. Don’t know if there any any ways to replay them any other way, which is more annoying than anything. Other than that, definitely recommend it, alongside the first and third game.

AceFuzzLord,

I personally think racing games like Cartoon Network Racing and Sonic Riders are some pretty good PS2 games.

I’d suggest games like Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, etcetera, but they’re probably the first games brought up almost immediately.

AceFuzzLord,

I know the situation is different for everyone diagnosed with autism, but I like to compare AI writing as being something similar to someone with autism writing (as someone with autism). It can look kinda emotionless and robotic at times but other times it looks passable as something slightly less robotic.

AceFuzzLord,

Only time I’ve ever spent money for in game items was back when I was doing gøøg|e surveys and a certain game had 99¢ pull ticket things. Otherwise, I’ve never done it and will never do it willingly again.

AceFuzzLord,

For a while it was Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate because I kept trying to go for 15 rounds in the endless mode to unlock a mode that I find underwhelming for how much effort I put into it.

Now it’s just the pokemon fan game Pokemon Keishou because I’m being dumb and doing my best to do a gen 9* only run and am stubborn about trying not to lose.

*my box of members who helped in major battles does have non-gen 9 mons otherwise I’d still be stuck at the beginning of the game with a level 100 starter. Also, starter isn’t gen 9 because it’s not gen 9 starters. It ain’t leaving my team either.

AceFuzzLord,

Under normal circumstances, I’d never recommend a remake/remaster of a game, but the Reignited Trilogy is the only acception so far.

I love how in the 3rd game, it fixes the issue I have where the game will stop the music when you get close to the black portals that take you to the minigames like sections in levels. When the music would stop in the original, I never liked it as a kid because it made me feel uncomfortable. It still does.

Hell, there was one section that wasn’t even scary but still used to absolutely scare me as a kid that I didn’t even realize I already passed on the Trilogy. But when playing on an emulator before getting the trilogy, I got absolute dread at the same part. Absolutely made me feel a similar terror to when I would play as a kid. Don’t remember the level, but it’s the portal thing leading to the circular water arena area.

AceFuzzLord,

I don’t have the Crash remaster, so I don’t know. I also haven’t played the original Crash games before Revenge of Cortex, so I wouldn’t have any reference as to how good they are compared to the original.

Hell, I only have reference to how good the Reignited Trilogy is to Year of the Dragon since that’s the first Spyro game I ever played.

I also have never played Age of Empires, so I’ll take your word on that one.

AceFuzzLord,

I completely binged a pokemon fan game last weekend (Radiant Topaz) and just couldn’t get myself to quit. Besides that, I decided to move my Pokemon Keishou (another fan game) save over to my laptop so I can play it at a much better speed than my desktop can handle.

I definitely recommend Keishou so far, and I don’t even have a single badge yet.

AceFuzzLord,

It was never released where I live, but I love using Duckstation (psx/1) to play Vib-Ribbon since I don’t have a modded ps1/2.

I absolutely love emulation. It’s a great way for anyone to play their favorite retro games or titles they’ve never played without shilling out hundreds if not thousands because of resellers that probably live in their mom’s basement and weigh 6000 pounds.

What adventure games do you recommend? angielski

pretty much the title. i have played most of sierra, lucasarts and telltale catalogues so if you are suggesting one of their games i’ve probably already played it. it doesn’t have to be a copycat, homage or in the same style as these companies’ games either, just that it must satisfy the vague definition of being an...

AceFuzzLord,

Definitely recommend that and the sequel Finding Paradise if you haven’t played them or seen a playthrough.

AceFuzzLord,

I personally enjoy Brok the Investigator, if you don’t mind beat-em-up mixed in with your story. Has multiple endings, every single area has 3 hidden collectables that act as hints in case you get stuck, and is available on console (ps4/5, xbox one and series s/x, switch) if you don’t feel like playing on PC.

You play the first chapter as a detective alligator (Brok) who has a new case to solve. Starting chapter 2, you gain access to switch between him and his cat son (Graff). Depending on your actions, you get the different endings. To make things easier on getting different endings, you can load yourself in at specific chapters, too.

Do you find open source games interesting/good thing as a gamer?

@games I am a game developer working on game called Mushy Score. I decided that my niche would be to create open source games. I think these could be helpful for developers or teachers to teach about games and how they are made. Most open source games are small game jam games, but there are few “real games” that are open source like 0 A.D. and Doom. As a non-developer do you think open source games could be good thing?

AceFuzzLord,

Whether I find an open source game interesting is whether or not it’s good, so my opinion isn’t very helpful since what’s good is subjective.

Games like Mindustry, SuperTuxKart, Super Tux Advance? Great!

Games like FreeCiv? Don’t like (mostly because I can’t even figure out how to end a turn or do anything despite looking up how to play).

AceFuzzLord,

Assuming this stuff is true, I will 100% pass on both games. 100% disappointed.

AceFuzzLord,

I also seem to end up with the same problem. I either defend too much or die attacking and it’s annoying. I can’t seem to ever find a middle ground that works. I swear all my runs I’ve run are just flukes.

AceFuzzLord,

I suck at the game, so winning isn’t an option for me. But I really like either going poison or daggers for the skull wearing guy. I haven’t even bothered with ascension as I’m still trying to do the keys thing while beating a run with a single character.

I’d say the closest I’ve played to Slay the Spire’s “pick a path” style deck builder would be Peglin and One More Gate. Peglin is definitely a lot closer to Slay the Spire as you start off a blank slate every run (minus custom mode), whereas One More Gate is, so far, you do a run, come back to the hub area, buy/sell cards/upgrades, do another run to get slightly further.

Pretty much the only other deck builders I have are ones where you don’t get to choose where you go next and go from battle to battle without any path choices or chance based event areas (Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate and Ardor).

AceFuzzLord,

Tried playing Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time using RPCS3 on my laptop. Didn’t get far into the tutorial before it completely froze. Gave up and completely removed RPCS3 because it was also causing my laptops fan to work hard.

Otherwise, I at least started to get back into Krosmaga by playing a single match in a very long time on my phone last night.

AceFuzzLord,

Just got RPCS3 set up on my laptop and now I just gotta see if my laptop can handle it or not. If not, I’m continuing to stick to solitaire and mahjong on it for a while.

Otherwise, I’ve just been addicted to both Backpack Hero and Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate. Though, I’m less inclined to play Backpack Hero since my story mode save got wiped after I went to the main menu after losing a run.

AceFuzzLord,

I personally don’t understand the whole thing of a fictional character in a video game where there is absolutely no romance anywhere having a preference. I don’t care whether my character in a game like Borderlands is straight, gay, lesbian, or anything in between so long as I can pop the heads off my enemies.

AceFuzzLord,

I managed to get a copy of Chu Chu Rocket for Dreamcast, so that’s been one I’ve been playing. But I’ve also continued with my addiction to Backpack Hero (even if it’s slowly fading).

AceFuzzLord,

If it were on sale, I’d say Fling To The Finish. But for now, I’ll have to probably just wait and see what else is on sale that catches my eye.

AceFuzzLord,

Brok The Investigator

In this game you play as an alligator who is an investigator (they rolled with that pun) who throughout the game does various puzzles and gets into fights. It’s not egregiously long and has multiple endings that change depending on your actions, all of which allow you to unlock the true ending, I guess. I have only gotten a single ending, so I don’t know what all the endings are.

It has an easy, normal, and hard difficulty which change the fight difficulty. It says relaxed (easy) difficulty is for those who are just there for the story and puzzles, so I’d assume it might either make the fights ridiculously easy or skip them. No clue since I jumped in straight away on hardcore.

I personally found most of the characters besides one certain robot to be enjoyable. The characters are also fully voiced (English only as of now), but there are 10 other languages for the text. Everything said will pop up in a dialogue box you have to click through, so you can’t miss any dialogue unless you purposefully skip through all of them. Even if you do, afterwards you can open the pause menu and find a transcript of all the dialogue, too.

The game also has a demo for the first chapter, so you can play that and see if it’s a game you would actually buy. Currently it’s $13.99 for the base game or $19.05 for the game alongside the official soundtrack and an artbook. If nothing else, I at least recommend looking up the soundtrack piece Brok and Graff, which is my personal favorite song in the whole entire game.
