whatchu playing now

might grab yoku in the EU switch sale

lol isn't that sort of part of the conceit tho

RDRI i used to kind of pretend was westworld and it made the cutscenes much more believable

LOL but not the humans! Anyway, they mostly fixed it in the DLC (which is excellent btw).

vertical line man, definitely get yoku. it's great fun!

I finally got RDR 1, and I bored of it quickly.

I'm still down to do c+p this yr btw but I won't open nominations til Jan (and leave em open for like a month per usual)

merry christmas ilg folks

Remade spyro trilogy cos I’m an adult and it’s sooooo fun and cute omg

Bought three people Return of Obra Dinn for Xmas. I also bought myself and my brother Fallout 76 - I know it’s meant to be crap, but I think we can wring some fun out of it.

Humbug on iPhone is perfect Dec 27 hangover/exhaustion gaming. NB, the freemium version is the devil, it's definitely worth three quid.

Subnautica—- wow!

I am playing Obra Dinn, it is ok so far.

i've been using the seamoth almost exclusively but i finally bit the bullet and built the cyclops. it's pretty overwhelming. it's huge for one and there's so much going on (not sure how to make it power self-sufficient, i did plant some melons in it tho so I have a mobile food supply, and i made a depth module so i can go down to 900m now). i still haven't made the prawn suit tho i have the mats for it. i'll probably make it and stash it in the cyclops before trying to descend.

mostly breath of the wild but some night in the woods, which i was pumped to play but i don't think is for me. it's pretty boring, aesthetics aside

NBA 2K Playground 2 is my jam these days, it's on fire. I liked the first one but the sequel gives you a lot more to do, with a season mode to unlock characters, and a grind to accomplish various tasks like 10 finger rolls in a single season game to up your 2 point shooting. It's weirdly missing Charles Barkley but otherwise it's got Michael and Kobe and Bird and Magic and current stars and mediocrities (no Austin Rivers RIP). Why the Admiral is only Epic but not a Legend bugs me, and no Tim Duncan, but I still won the championship with Rudy Gay and Pau Gasol.

xp it's a visual novel, more or less. not really a gameplay experience

eh I wouldn't call it a VN, it's got exploration and light platforming elements, and there's an embedded rhythm game. But if you aren't enjoying hanging out with the characters and environment yeah there's not like some in-depth gamey experience to back it up.

We played through Gris in the waning hours of 2018, it was very pretty and had more going on gameplay-wise than I was expecting. Compare to Monument Valley.

been playing the old ace attorney games, these didn't click for me last time i tried them but now I'm fully on board and tearing through them

also finishing off my year of Falcom with tokyo xanadu which is better than i was expecting, it's not as good as trails of cold steel or ys 8 overall but has a good mix of ingredients from both and i think the character movesets are more fun than ys.

I've started the Gravity Rush games. The first one definitely shows its roots as a portable game, and the cut scenes are dinky, but the dialogue is unexpectedly funny.

xp I did this too, bought the first one in 2008 & then picked it up again five years later and did the rest in a few weeks. What cases do you like best? Must replay at some stage, it’s handy that they’re all on iOS now.

the 4th case of the first one is my favorite so far i think? the one where you're defending edgeworth. just started the 3rd game though so i haven't seen too many cases yet.

If you're playing through all the ace attorney games, look up the second Miles Edgeworth game -- it wasn't released outside of Japan, but there's a good fan translation of it. It's one of the best in the series in my opinion.

yeah i'm just doing the original trilogy for now, gonna take a break after that to not burn myself out. will play ghost trick at some point in there too

DOOM 2016

it owns

I have nostalgia for the Ace Attorney games I’ve played. (1-5 by release date). I quit there because no 3DS.

all the 3ds ones are also on android/ios i think

Just re-downloaded the AA stuff.

Has anyone played the new free quake thing? (Champions). Quake 2 is my 2nd favorite of all time and I’m tempted

ciderpress, I love that one too! Have you ever seen the film (directed by Miike Takashi)? It’s based on this case and it’s as ridiculous as you’d expect but I love it. I also love the last case in this game (Rise from the Ashes) which is all about the cops being bent - shocking, I know - and is also really great especially considering it was a bonus case for when the game was ported to DS.

i remember that, it ruled

I enjoyed the later games, you do get a lot of protagonists all with their own gimmick, but it all helps add variety. The last case in the latest game has you facing - Phoenix Wright!

i just started spiderman and i gotta tell you, hard on the heels of this latest movie it feels pretty joyless

xp is that spirit of justice? I have that downloaded but never progressed much with the first case despite all the sweet sweet Edgeworth banter.

I loved Apollo Justice! The cases (besides the first and last) are fairly whatever, but the ridiculous plot and characters and Phoenix being snide and popping up being unhelpful are great.

was that the one with college student Phoenix Wright?

the first case of 3, which I'm playing now, is the college student Phoenix one, unless there's another

yup that's the one. that heart shirt lol

I'm still down to do c+p this yr btw but I won't open nominations til Jan (and leave em open for like a month per usual)

Once the ILM stuff is all done and dusted for the year I will open the nominations for C&P 2018, stoked because for once i have played a grip of games from this year

woo excited to award 100 points to Celeste

im prepared to put an atelier game into c&p for possibly the first and last time

I am currently playing The Return of the Obra Dinn, made by Lucas Pope who also made Papers Please. It's basically impossible to talk about this game without spoilers, but it's really good, definitely worth the praise that's been heaped on it in the last couple of weeks. It was released in October so it got lost in the flurry of holiday releases, but it's £15 on Steam at the moment. Also holy hipsterism, Batman, I'm actually playing a recent game for once.

when is c+p noms starting

we usually start in february i think?

after ILM tracks/albums wrap up!

i still have like 5 indie games to finish and pass judgment on

quiet week in gaming

im playing tales of vesperia, it's alright

asscreed odyssey. it was surprisingly fun at first but i'm already getting bored. not sure how much longer i can last.

the ubisoft curse

Enjoyed watching Limmy play Return of Obra Dinn.
