My child is complete. Just need to stick the pannles on and power it on for the first time. I'll do the cable management thing later.

Star Trek Online is very good for a F2P MMO. It's only after hundreds of hours of play and completing all the campaigns (Fed, Klingon and Romulan) that you'll need to spend any money - and that's only if you want to do serious PvP stuff.

For a sweet free MMORPG hit up Ragnarok Online on a private server. Without doubt the most fun MMORPG I've ever played, still remarkably playable despite it being quite old now.

According to my Backloggery account I am having the best year I have had since it launched for beating games yet I still have 89 uncompleted games added this year alone.

 

Yeah I've beaten the most games for a year and managed to reduce how many games I've added by not just adding any crap. All going down the pan now I've got a PC.

 

Im in the mood to play an MMO so as im not willing to pay a subscription fee I think im finally going to give The Old Republic a try.

 

Get downloading I am doing so now!

Humble Bundle 9

 

  • Trine 2: Complete Story
  • Mark of the Ninja
  • Eets Munchies Beta
  • Brutal Legend

 

Pay around 5 dollars and you get Fez and FTL too. Fez is fantastic. Would be playing till something like 4 am if I wasn't so damned tired already. Shame the creator has his issues and threw a hissy fit, canceling a sequel.

 

Eet Munchies feels like a mobile game but it is in beta...

 

The rest will get played some time in the far flung future. For now, they join 'The Pile'.

I played Fez on a borrowed 360 when it first come out and didn't really get into it this represents a great chance to try it out again.

Anyone here played either Gone Home or Outlast? After getting on these, I think I'm pretty much done with AAA $300 million games made by bloated studios, and completely devoid of a cohesive tone or thematic vision. Both of those games have a wonderful sense of minimalism about them that makes them so much more effective at what they're trying to do; they focus on imparting one impression, and because of that they do it so so well.

Yup, posted recently about Gone Home. Really enjoyed exploring the story and the feeling that you're actually delving into real people's lives. Loved how they set it early 90s too.

 

Outlast I've seen videos of which were pretty cool. Definitely something I'll get round to.

Really glad you enjoyed it too man. I visited the Steam community hub, and it's just full of boneheads going "this isn't a game." Which is sort of true - but it's more interesting because of how much it does with such a lack of mechanical systems.

 

I was really impressed with it just because it gave me the illusion that I was going wherever I wanted in the house, exploring largely at whim, but it somehow still managed to keep a linear plot thread going. Good stuff, hope moar peeps get to experience it.

I have Gone Home and after playing Thomas Was Alone as well, I'm pretty much on the same impression as you.

 

Thomas Was Alone, is fantastic and its only a few blocks, puzzles and voice over. I've been working my way through it, plus Hotline Miami.

 

I'm more excited for Hotline Miami 2 than any triple A title out there right now.

I'm drifting more and more that way as time goes on....

 

Super Hot was newest favourite thing. It's a shooter where time only moves when you move and adds that puzzle element. It started as part of a game jam and is now available to play 3 chapter on their website:

also greenlight on steam for a full and more realized game:

Also another game on my radar spuds quest;

 

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=110789922

 

A mix of Zelda, Metroid and DIZZY!!!!!!! Already available to buy on their own site for just $4.99 with steam key promised for early purchasers.

For me it's less embracing the Indie side and dropping the Triple A (I'm still interested in that side) but I really love the pick up and play, drop back out nature of games like Isaac, Rogue Legacy, Thomas Was Alone. I don't need to set aside a lot of time to play the games. Triple A's really seem to have left that behind with a few exceptions. Platformers like Rayman are doable, and Free Roaming only needs time to really push through the story, I can easily hop in and wreak some havoc in the city.

Did anyone ever play Thirty Flights of Loving? I played it having played the free Gravity Bone first...and have to say I was left disappointed, narrative wist it was interesting but gameplay wise it felt lackluster compared to Gravity Bone.

I didn't like either.

 

I didn't mind the lack of gameplay in Thirty Flights of Loving, but I was expecting a final puzzle piece that would make sense of all of the disconnected scenes. Instead it ended with a motorcycle ride and I was left scratching my head.

 

At least it was over in ten minutes.
