Magnus Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 So I just found out about this really fun heist game called Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist that was released a month ago. It's free and it's only about fifteen minutes long, so you should all probably play it, maybe?
Sméagol Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Grow Home is a fantastic and cute little platformer-ish game. A bit phallic but that's part of the charm. I'd recommend it to anyone. Yes, thanks. Haven't quite looked at it that way. Also of note, Turok (original Dinosaur Hunter, not what came out last gen.) has a remastered sort of release on steam. Came out midway through December and it's a competent port of the game it seems. Apart from the resolution, and from the looks of it, slightly better viewing distance / less fog, it really doesn't look better than the original version..

And I choose the steak as equipment, not for healing, but to distract the tiger.
Nolan Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Yes, thanks. Haven't quite looked at it that way. Apart from the resolution, and from the looks of it, slightly better viewing distance / less fog, it really doesn't look better than the original version.. You're welcome haha. Yeah that's why I threw in a 'sort of' after remastered. The main thing is it runs great and is now easy to get a copy of it as opposed to the original release. Here's to hoping for Seeds of Evil to get a re-release. Edit: They announced both at the same time turns out http://www.nightdivestudios.com/turok-turok-2-video-games-slated-for-digital-re-release/ Edited January 5, 2016 by Nolan
Sméagol Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 They're missing Turok 3 then.. Since I own Turok 2, I prefer to get the others 2nd hand on the N64 if I'm ever in the mood for that, but I never finished Turok 2. I think it would be fun to try some time though.. I did watch a let's play some time ago for the nostalgia. I do wonder how easy keyboard and mouse controls will make the game.
Nolan Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Quite easy. But it's not exactly a hand holding game. Enemies still hit hard it's just aiming that has become much more simple.
Happenstance Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Square Enix are giving away a free copy of Omikron The Nomad Soul in memory of David Bowie. https://store.eu.square-enix.com/emea_uk/games/pc-windows-download/Omikron-The-Nomad-Soul.php
Nolan Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 If I didn't already own it. But man....I completely forgot he did the music for it and I believe had a character in the game.
Sméagol Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 I was browsing the Steam store, and this looks pretty cool: http://nightschoolstudio.com/oxenfree/
Magnus Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 It is pretty cool - assuming you don't mind playing games for the writing rather than the gameplay.
Sméagol Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 It is pretty cool - assuming you don't mind playing games for the writing rather than the gameplay. I'd say I often play games mostly for the story. I'll probably pick this up sooner than later (you don't happen to know the download size?).
Happenstance Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Anybody else playing XCOM 2? I'm planning on getting it next week once the new PC arrives. Are you enjoying it so far?
Shorty Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Yeah but I loved the first so I knew I would. I haven't played much but it's just more of the same but bigger and better. It's quite difficult though! And the numbers feel fudged, at least on the higher difficulties, it's quite frustrating to miss on a 60-80% chance 2-3x in a row...
Sméagol Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Anybody else playing XCOM 2? Just placed the order.. I'll get it Tuesday. Played X-com for 150 hours, and didn't even finish it, haha. Last campaign I made it to the final ship. Always wanted to try Enemy within, but with the sequel out now, I don't think I'll bother anymore.
Sméagol Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I think it's 2-ish GB. Have fun. Finally bought, downloaded, and played this yesterday. Holy shit dude.. This game's deep. . Damn, that melancholic 12 Monkeys style ending almost made me cry.. The atmosphere is fantastic. This would make a great film.
Retro_Link Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Looks like Knack 2 may be in development and has been since last summer. I love this about Sony. #Knackered
Sméagol Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 So.. Danganronpa, I have merchandise of it, but I'm not familiar with the gameplay from the source material.. Is it fun? Any vague resemblences to Ace attorney?
Happenstance Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Its similar yes. Visual novel style with investigation and court room type scenes. I'd recommend it anyway.
Sméagol Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Its similar yes. Visual novel style with investigation and court room type scenes. I'd recommend it anyway. I'm definitely getting it then, though probably not right away. Love the artstyle and character designs (obviously).
Magnus Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I didn't like it. The cases are predictable, the characters are one-note and the trials are completely ruined by the awful mini-games you have to play every few minutes. Your mileage may vary, though - I know NeoGAF loves it. But at least now you've been warned. :p
Sméagol Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I don't visit Neogaf.. I have no idea how their collective taste compares to mine..
Shorty Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 I'm 100% with Magnus. I was expecting something between Persona and Phoenix Wright and what I got was nowhere near the quality of either. Found it a very shallow experience.
nightwolf Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I'd highly recommend Secrets of Grindea to everyone. Its currently on Steam and is early access, but its a wonderul singleplayer or up to 4 person co-op. Details here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/269770/ My partner and I have been playing through, its short at the moment, but more is being added, its quite stable too.
