i've no experience of the new torment but it looks sweet and i certainly would like to hear how it is

Decided to revisit Battlefield 3, since my new upgrade, after a long time absent. Urgh, kinda wish I hadn't as I slowly realise how addictive these sort of games are.
Also jumped back into Bad Company 2 for a moment, but seems too laggy everywhere and I got fed up of the utterly annoying 'getting shot around the corner' effect.

We could probably use a new iOS games thread. I have like three or four things on my new-ish iPad that I want to check out and report back on

the menus in mlb the show 17 are the worst designed AND slowest i have ever encountered. everything you need to do is at least 3 clicks away, and each click has to go to the server and back, so around 10-15 seconds load time per click
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 29 March 2017 21:19 (seven years ago) link
it's like a passive counter game except without all of the satisfaction
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 29 March 2017 21:20 (seven years ago) link
Was looking for that short homemade vid of the horrible clipping in MLB the show where the player slides into home and sinks beneath the ground...

Thimbleweed Park just came out, by Monkey Island's Ron Gilbert. it looks like a Twin Peaks/X-Files style retro Graphic Adventure. sounds amazing!

yeah that's looks really cool - i'm excited to play it
― Mordy, Thursday, 30 March 2017 19:14 (seven years ago) link
yeah i've had my eye on that
― ciderpress, Thursday, 30 March 2017 19:32 (seven years ago) link
i'm interested but at the same time kind of put off that it's using the "classic" (action verbs on screen) SCUMM interface

Got through the first few months of Persona 5 and the way they've blown the dungeons out is great. Struck by how politically relevant it is as well, whole thing is just raging at the last two decades of Japanese politics. Not really feeling the main friends though, feels like they've tried to write them more mature and 'real' but so far is failing to evoke teenage awkwardness/lameness the way P4 did so magically.

first few months?! did you play non-stop since yesterday morning???

I was way into Rayman Origins last summer and picked it up again last night, trying to remember why I abandoned it in the first place and...oh yeah, it was all those Dragon's Lair-ish speed run levels that I unlocked and couldn't friggin get through to save my life.
― The Godzilla/Globetrotters Adventure Hour (Old Lunch), Thursday, 6 April 2017 03:54 (seven years ago) link
Heh, I had a similar experience with Rayman Origins. That game is still dope though

I'm playing the Zelda
― softie (silby), Thursday, 6 April 2017 23:08 (seven years ago) link
the Zelda's good
just finished the sexy brutale, very enjoyable adventure puzzle game based around witnessing and then preventing murders over a single day in a groundhog day loop. delightfully made game, something of the spirit of the lucasarts point n click glory days. not a ton to it but highly recommended all the same.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 19 April 2017 01:30 (seven years ago) link
unemployment has allowed me to finish persona 5 ahead of schedule and i must say, wow!
now i can get back to "real life" of not just playing that game all the time. including the best of 2016 c&p i've been procrastinating on!

I got Sniper Elite 4 after watching the Honest Games Trailer that featured exploding Nazi balls - it's pretty good. Frustrating because it really forces you into doing some headlong commando-rushes instead of sniping at times, but it's so much more fun than any 'real world' shooter I've played since Rainbow Six Vegas.

There was a dude from Dubai playing Sniper2 at the coffee shop last week. He got stuck in some weeds in the beginning couldn't get past the opening 5 minutes.

iOS chump post, please ignore if touchscreen-only interfaces give you the "jimmie rustles" as I've heard the kids say
I continue DESTROYING Realm Grinder on my phone - steady progress, lots of clicking, yes I've been checking the trophy & build guides on the kongregate boards, but only because I care
Love You To Bits is a much appreciated sequel to Tiny Thief. I'm about 1/3 through, but I try to reserve it for daughter-dad time so she can yell at uncooperative npcs and inquire insistently as to why the protagonist is in a particular environment

playing the new PC port of Bayonetta. that game is pretty cool, Platinum rocks.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 23 April 2017 02:42 (seven years ago) link
resident evil 7 is very stressful!
i play it for like 20 or 30 minutes, make a little progress, quit. then i go back. same thing. i think it is a Very Good Game but i am maybe a giant baby in my old age.
― adam, Sunday, 23 April 2017 12:21 (seven years ago) link
also i love bayonetta and hope bayonetta 2 comes to pc b/c that is probably platinum's masterpiece.

re: Res Evil - i felt the same about Alien: Isolation. i can handle maybe 20 minutes, then i put it down. I know i'll never finish it, but still rate it as one of the best ever horror games i'll ever play.
on about 80% completion on Horizon Zero Dawn - damn that game is so fantastically written, down to every collectible. combat is a total joy too. just to look at it from the outside you could easily write it off as another open worldhunting/stealthing/shooting thing, but its just soooooooo well done
― jamiesummerz, Monday, 24 April 2017 09:27 (seven years ago) link
i conquered my FEAR re RE7 and played a few more hours yesterday and man it is great. i am having nearly as much fun playing it as i did 1, 2 or 4. which is a lot. i loved alien: isolation but something about that resident evil craziness really gets me going.
i wandered away from horizon zero dawn for some reason, i should go back. i think i overleveled on side quests early on and most of the big fights have been fairly trivial as a result. you are right tho, the writing is very good and they really got a nice feel on the controls and combat.
― adam, Monday, 24 April 2017 11:24 (seven years ago) link
definitely encouraging me to pick up RE7 when it hits the bargain bin

Endless Legend. It's like Civ but with magic and dwarves and an active battle system. Shit's pretty dope.
― NeonRevolver, Monday, 24 April 2017 22:53 (seven years ago) link
Yeah endless legend is awesome and they did an amazing job making all the factions distinct sometimes super dramatically. And it looks great too. Sequel due soon or is that endless space?
― Mordy, Monday, 24 April 2017 23:18 (seven years ago) link
I finished BoTW at 36% completion rate, but all the temples, memories and armor. To hell with finding 550 more korok seeds. Someday I will go back and farm the dragon parts necessary to upgrade the Armor of the Wild set. I'd even do it now, but the first upgrade requires me to find 30 acorns, and I have no desire to virtually hunt squirrels for hours to unlock dumb armor.
― rb (soda), Monday, 24 April 2017 23:22 (seven years ago) link
lol I'm sure it's great but everything I hear about botw makes me never want to play it
― Mordy, Monday, 24 April 2017 23:24 (seven years ago) link
it is delightful. and playful. and immersive. and there's a distinct set of strategies that are most effective for early, mid, and late-game. and i applied all of them at the wrong time. in retrospect, i spent the better part of 125+ hours running around a gorgeous virtual world collecting shit to upgrade shit to collect more shit to (ostensibly) do something involving the liberation of zelda from a disco-colored nightmare. by the final level i was so ridiculously overpowered that i beat the game, windowed picture-in-picture, while laughing my butt off at chewing gum on netflix. note: my dumb lategame strategy was checking out websites to find out the temples i'd somehow missed. at 120 distinct locations, it got a bit tedious.

no, see, you're missing out. if you hunt, twice, each of the three dragons that appear only once every day on opposite sides of the map you can upgrade your wimpy endgame lederhosen, tunic, and tyrolean hat from level one level two. you'll need to repeat the whole process for levels three and four, but how at that point couldn't you want to?
