Coint and Plick 2013 - The Sixth Annual ILX Video Game Poll

lol, gimpshit.

the demo for sleeping dogs was so s o bad that i never even thought of going back to play it - is the real game much better wrt the actual melee/shooting mechanics? because the demo was pretty lacking, esp the hit detection etc.

obv i am not opposed to changing my mind about a game after disliking the demo because BULLETSTORM

JJJ - did you change your mind about Kingdoms of Amalur? Because that demo was hideous. Even worse than Sleeping Dugs.

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

i never actually bought kingdoms of amular, but yes, you are right, that might have been the worst demo of 2012.

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.

works for me.

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

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

i want 20000000000

yessssssss

also want plants vs zombies 2 ffs

yessssssss

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

You can play it 2p, which is how I play it.

puzzlecraft was so quick to beat, even with no iap. i have no idea why anyone would have actually spent for it.

so far all these games look like garbage

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'.

so far the lowest-rated games in this poll dont look good!!!

^^ also enjoy puzzles

Which one are you?

im the ocean

is that...castlevania III?

i think i checked out waking mars earlier this year but it was too pricey for an iphone game. i'm really interested in it tho.

Super Monsters Ate My Condo! > different game from normal monsters ate my condo?

btw enjoy your free tiki drinks while you can, kid - someday you're going to have to pay for those ingredients yourself, and good demerara is hard to find

That's Simons Quest, I think. 88-89 release. Played it too many times.

yeah its castlevania II iOS

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.

oh my god mcpixel

thank you to whoever voted for this

Wii U

you mean to tell me i coulda put 8 points on the game party champions and it would have been TOP ILX C&P WII U GAME OF ALL TIME (for a year)????

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

why am i rooting so much for this system to bankrupt nintendo forever? i don't even understand it myself tbh.

i would like to cosign that (lol)

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

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?

yes, otm

plenty of games by 3rd parties on Nintendo handhelds worth playing, almost all by Japanese developers though

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.

all i played this year was FTL so i am just an observer but the encyclopedic style of the entries is a+ forks

so if anyone downloads the simpsons tapped out and wants to become friends with me in the game that is by no means totally pathetic and sad.

Ha

yo jjj i friended u in a game that is by no means totally pathetic and sad fyi

whats your username?

oh ha i am assuming you are a something unpronoucable that starts w/ an l?

yes that is me

and for some reason i can't add your city oh crul ringmaster world

Yeah I had to pay for both of the multiplier goals, but only after I tried to do them without boosts or hats. Fucking bullshit

However I have hit the 1 billion high score now, so I have scraped my way into the top 20000. ffs

Can't hit 1 billion yet. Still at 800 million asjklfjskladfjkalsdf

Pushed over 3 billion this morning but I'm still nowhere near Dan.

The multiplier goals are totally broken, don't know why

buy the hats, they'll slowly push your score up

dled this but oh shit, is this a game I'm gonna have to shell out "real money" to do well at. b/c fuck that obi

nah you don't. i thought that at first too but you really don't have to

yeah you don't have to at all

I grabbed the game before it was free (;_;) and that is the only money I've paid for it

sorry I failed to get a vote in.
woulda gone for:

1000000
Dishonored
Walking 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.

most of my gametime went to LoL and word games on ipad/iphone :-/

surprised Dyad isn't on here. I should've voted.

it kinda flew under the radar here, even more than most PSN games

hotline miami! amazing!
