Ok this game is genuinely scary (especially with headphones). When I finally ran into the alien I screamed like a baby.

I want to play FFXIII but I don't have 120GB free on my HD!
60 for the install package and 60 more for unpacking? LOL. How many hours/days of pre-rendered cutscenes are there on it?

how is it?

i don't know what to make of it. it looks rly good, controls/mechanics have some familiarity w/ assassins creed and combat is arkham style as mentioned. i still feel that kind of combat is way too button-mashing to ever really give a full sense of control over whats going on (dark souls or gtfo). i don't like the batman games but this is pretty fun, i haven't done any missions just wandered around killing uruks and getting killed a lot. the nemesis system is next-level but i don't quite get some aspects of it. one captain came back like 10 times after being killed so i guess they regenerate like the player does???

i think they are alive until you decapitate them. i dunno what prompts the decapitation vs whatever else. the orc politics are the best part of that game, the story missions are fuckin trash, i think there is dope stuff later on but every time i do a story mission i end up quitting out and playing alien instead.
i really enjoy shadow of mordor i just wish they had been ballsy enough to jettison all the tedious AC-style shit and let us just go populous 2 on orc military society

i thought while i was playing last night, "jordan would be into this game"
hahaha. i watched a friend play it on a projector the other night, good clean fun.
i really wanna play Alien and Evil Within. wonder if i should wait until i spring for a PS4 next year sometime. also the same friend lent me his PS3 + Demon's Souls, so i can finally play that before Bloodborne.

A new 3DS XL and the most recent Zelda are in the mail, so I'll be tackling that soon. Also I got back into Card Hunter for some reason.

its funny how much of the mechanics are shamelessly ripped from AC - the scaling heights, cover system, distract/stealth-kill, hidden symbols you can only see in special vision mode (collect 'em all to find out about...zzzzz). i guess the artifacts w/ hidden memories are tomb raider reboot-style. it is a fun game, the a.i. stuff is hilarious. i freed some slaves and they all ran off except one kept hammering a wall. i decided to test if you can hit npcs and slashed at him. he almost fell over, then shook it off turned around and said "thank you" before running off

dx is like distilled crack
it's so frantic that i feel like i'm just blowing by subtle details in design, like you might never actually study the underside of the eaves of an outbuilding in an immaculately rendered 3-d world, except in this case it's the intricately realized Line Of Best Fit, the shortest path to solving a Rubik's cube, the elegance of which you're too frazzled to fully grok but which your diligent practice allows you to stumble upon with less serendipity and more determination, but regardless, it's thrilling when you brush against it or even, for a short time, fully inhabit it

how far did you get?
it's my first time playing it, although i played through the first Dragon Warrior a million times when I was a kid. i just finished picking up my first party member (who i have named after my dog Bird), and it was a hilarious 1990 style painful fetch quest. "Bird is headed to castle X! go find him!" (45 random encounters on the way to castle X!) - "Bird just left, but he said he was going going to the cave of heroes! go find him!" (82 random encounters on the way to cave) - "you just missed Bird! now he's on his way to castle Y! go find him!" (54 random encounters on the way to castle Y!) - "what? i haven't seen Bird. he is my son and i will cry if he has perished! i have no advice for where to look for him. guess you'll just have to recheck everywhere you have ever traveled" (1000s of random encounters occur). then i found him in an inn in a town that was otherwise useless.
now i'm ready to get my third party member! *pumps fist*

for some reason i decided to watch the ending to Dragon Quest 1 just now:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=judJaM1Vviw
there is some weird shit that casually goes down at the end. the princess begs the hero to let her "join" him, and then they proceed to walk away from the king...with him always 1 step in front of his new companion. is he just laying down the misogynistic law early on, about 5 seconds, into their new relationship?
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 18 October 2014 14:17 (nine years ago) link
I think I'm about a third of the way through Alien Isolation now and I'm really, really loving it. Occasionally the spell is broken by witnessing the alien wandering aimlessly around like a drunk searching for his lost spectacles but mostly it's been utterly riveting and very, very scary. I rescreened Alien again the other night and it's incredible how perfectly Creative Assembly have captured the look and atmosphere of the movie.
Also, lobbing a noisemaker into the midst of a group of hostile survivors then hiding in a locker to watch them get eviscerated is a lot of fun.

i don't remember any specifics but i feel like it was pretty far, because i had three or four tiny people following me around? i loved they were all visible in their little conga line.

no platformers or runners or anything like that

steam's free weekend of "don't starve" hooked me, i ended up paying for it. it scratches the same itch that the "glitch" mmo did a few years back.

don't starve is definitely worth playing and the less you know about how to play it correctly beforehand the better

I just got an Xbox One this weekend. Ramen noodles for me for a couple of weeks. Luckily Minecraft is only 5 bucks, and Outlast was on sale for $15 so I picked up that as well. I reaaally want play Alien Isolation and Evil Within, but need a few more paychecks.

sleeping dogs. this game is not good
fighting borrowed from arkham, but not as fluid or fun
freerunning borrowed from ass. creed but bad, totally unclear from the textures which heights/surfaces are climbable or jumpable
driving is terrible, all the cars are both twitchy and understeery. totally unfun to drive around. there's a "ram" mechanic which is like sub-mariokart. you can buy cars but there's zero indication which are better.
basic stuff like street directions and the camera just plain don't work.
a whole lot of awkwardly placed cutscenes with the video game average writing and v/o (ie barely listenable)
a gta-alike in a HK action mode (complete with gang-cop duality bs) should have been a slam dunk.
― goole, Sunday, 28 December 2014 02:34 (nine years ago) link
about the only thing they did better than GTA was make it more easy and fun to shoot while driving.

Sleeping Dogs is one of my favourite games of the last few years but it gets 100% more fun when you really get the hang of the combat. It's probably the only thing I can think of that I would replay from start to finish for the atmosphere, music, etc.
I'm currently playing Tomb Raider 2013 and it is genuinely great.
