JJJ - did you change your mind about Kingdoms of Amalur? Because that demo was hideous. Even worse than Sleeping Dugs.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 6 February 2013 16:52 (eleven years ago) link
Sleeping Dogs was awesome because street vendors sold you stat buffs in the form of dim sum, and for the 80's throwback comedy horror Halloween dlc.
I wish they would have beefed up the drunken master style a bit more tho. I'd like a deeper moveset.
Playing the game has the same effect as watching proper kung fu flicks. "Dude, I'm hungry, lets go get some pork bun."

Sleeping Dogs up on EU PS+ today, gonna try it out later on tonight
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 16:55 (eleven years ago) link
i never actually bought kingdoms of amular, but yes, you are right, that might have been the worst demo of 2012.
― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 16:58 (eleven years ago) link
how's the format sitting with everyone? I went link and info heavy; you should be able to learn a lot more about these games with minimal effort.

yeah i am down
i am actually about to finish a game that i voted for (no spoilers) which i almost never do these days, which i find exciting. might have actually bumped it further up the list if i had spent more time with it before voting

I didn't know the Simpsons had a game like that. I wish there was another puzzle element in it like Puzzlecraft had to offset the mindless timed tapping away
― The New Jack Mormons! (kingfish), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 17:27 (eleven years ago) link
puzzlecraft was 99% puzzle! the timed tapping was just a dumb mechanic to stretch out the puzzling.

& to drive purchases of in-game money
dammit I wish they would update that game, would happily keep playing it but there's no more "progress" to be made

just played through the spellwood lite version and yeah, i could see this getting pretty fun, altho i have to rewire my scrabble brain not to plan ahead since they yank the words after play, but that does add an interesting mechanic. kinda cutesy to the point of semi-annoyance, and it seems mostly like single player scrabble with a wrap around it. not bad tho
― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 18:54 (eleven years ago) link
You can play it 2p, which is how I play it.
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 18:55 (eleven years ago) link
puzzlecraft was so quick to beat, even with no iap. i have no idea why anyone would have actually spent for it.
― s.clover, Wednesday, 6 February 2013 18:55 (eleven years ago) link
so far all these games look like garbage
― 888 (Lamp), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 19:02 (eleven years ago) link
Well, these are the one-vote, lowest possible points ties, so yeah, most of them will be 'a thing I played that passed the time and was relatively fun but certainly not the best game ever'.

That's Simons Quest, I think. 88-89 release. Played it too many times.
― The New Jack Mormons! (kingfish), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 19:22 (eleven years ago) link
yeah its castlevania II iOS
― 888 (Lamp), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 19:24 (eleven years ago) link
ah, i should have recognized that, because i just busted it out two nights ago for the first time in forever! i'm not a big fan of simon's quest! there are too many infinitely frustrating obstacles that have nothing to do with skill. for example, not just once but several times in the first 30 minutes of gameplay, there are fake ledges - you walk over them and just fall through them. there's no rhyme or reason to them, you just have to get punished and then remember they're there on your next attempt. when that happened the 10th time i turned off my nes in disgust. as a 29-year-old in 2013.

i'm also rooting for nintendo to fail. i kinda feel like their whole take on gaming atm is incredibly cynical and increasingly lazy idk. i've had some fun times w/ the wii so i don't want to totally write them off but
― Mordy, Wednesday, 6 February 2013 23:20 (eleven years ago) link
Because then you'd be able to play their games on other systems, which, due to having a library of decent games made by other companies, are worth owning? As compared ot a Nintendo system, which you only buy to play Nintendo games?
― Bob-omb The Videogame Industry! (Will M.), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 23:22 (eleven years ago) link
yes, otm

plenty of games by 3rd parties on Nintendo handhelds worth playing, almost all by Japanese developers though
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 23:34 (eleven years ago) link
Anyway it was me who voted for Nintendoland and, um, most of it's shit actually. I just threw it some points because the Mario Chase minigame is a really fun time, it's the best little whole-family-all-on-one-sofa-having-the-giggles thing we've played this year. But that one minigame definitely isn't worth buying the whole game for, and definitely definitely definitely isn't worth buying the whole console for.

EZSnappin: I posted my ongoing frustrations with this tower of disappointment and regret to ILX on what seemed like a daily basis. Coulda been amazing, but sure as fuck wasn't.
Zora: Oh, it got a few things right. The core climb-up-stuff-and-jump-off-it-again mechanic is still superb. Sadly, I had to stop playing it after I watched the Zero Punctuation review, and realised that the review was bang on, a lot more fun than the game and didn't take nearly as long to get through. It's just as well because playing AC games compels me to gorge on Toblerones and my arse is fat enough already.

sorry I failed to get a vote in.woulda gone for:
1000000DishonoredWalking Dead - though this does suffer from some of the same QTE lag annoyances that happen in Witcher 2 which I am currently crawling through
did not like ME3 or Diablo 3 - got burnt out on both after a couple hours. still have not fired up sleeping dogs.
