i think a lot of these consoles aren't correct. disco elysium not out on ps4 afaik nor inmost on switch or mac osx etc

I don't think that's on PS4 (or XBONE) yet? xp
― Triceratops Vowell (Leee), Monday, 6 April 2020 18:23 (four years ago) link
ah fuck. i'm pulling from google results and it includes upcoming consoles i guess. XB1 and PS4 are 2020 releases.

anyway disco elysium i voted for it
i didn't get very far and i can't play rn (it's on the dekstop, which is my partner's work station, and we work opposite shifts, so i can really only get on it for a little bit at the end of each day) but i imagine if i had gotten to the end i would've ranked it super high based on what friends and trusted internet ~influencer~ have said about the way it wraps up. excited to beat it eventually!

I mean main series is up to 7 (plus RE0 plus RE code Veronica) but remakes are uh... plentiful
RE1 has been remade... at least once? And RE2 now, and RE3 soon
and that's before you get into all of those shooting game spinoffs and stuff
― Hackers (1995) (Will M.), Monday, 6 April 2020 18:47 (four years ago) link
I have fond memories of the original RE2(*) but considering my cowardice/aversion to horror and jumps scares, I am pretty sure I'm never going to play another RE game.
* I was playing the beginning of the game at a friend's house and there's a part where a licker jumps out of a window, which I knew ahead of time. But my friend's parents just installed a big surround sound system and decided to test it out during my gameplay. I asked why he was turning it on during the scary part, and he sez, "What scary part?" Cue licker crashing through the glass and EVERYONE freaking out.
Later on, there's a level in the sewer where you're chased by a giant alligator, and you have to shoot some kind of environmental explosive device. Every time, without fail, I missed the shot the first time, so I liked to say that to beat the alligator, I'd say you needed two bullets, one to miss and one to kill it.

Zozzled is so fun. Steph Cherrywell's writing is full of wit and verve. You play a flapper who has to sort out a ghost problem, mainly by drinking them all up. You can make a dog fart!

6 of my 9 votes have placed and I was the sole voter on all of em so I guess a quick recap is in order.
Feather - Chill, relaxing flying game that needs more content but was fine for an hour or two.
Horace - only played a couple hours but so far its a platformer tutorial with a lot of long twee "emotional" cut scenes. Supposedly it changes it up a bunch as it goes on so my vote is more giving it the benefit of the doubt than anything else since what I've seen so far maybe isn't my bag, but certainly seems like something for somebody.
The Stillness of the Wind - sweet sad game that is basically just an expansion for the free game Where the Goats Are that you can get on itch.io here and which I highly recommend as far as free hour long games go.
Ape Out - Great melee based Hotline Miami-alike with responsive jazz soundtrack that is probably too short for its price, but played really well as a free giveaway.
ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove - basically just a souped up remake of the original game with a couple aspects of the first sequel mixed in. If you love the first TJ&E (like I do, it's a top ten all time for me) then you'll probably enjoy it, but it doesn't offer a whole lot the original doesn't.
Pikuniku - Cute, clever story-based side scroller. Pretty delightful and sweet.

i voted for this because it is one of the coolest games i have ever played. it's just cool
like so much of this game is not fighting but kinda "rpg elements" but they all just feel like... waiting in a cool way? it's hard to describe without playing the game

ringo ishikawa's been on my interest list but hadn't heard from anyone who'd actually played it, good to know its good

islanders isn't very deep but it is very charming and definitely worth a few hours of your time until it gets repetitive
― Mordy, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 17:24 (four years ago) link
i also voted for friends of ringo ishikawa. has a great atmosphere with lots of little details that add to the personality of its world. ringo read the russian classics between hunkering sessions with bros and smoking cigs on the dock, improved himself and believed in a path to a better life, if only for a moment before the weight of the world closed back in on him...
