Better to be unplayable than uninspired - adventures in terrible gaming.

I mean BULLETSTORM is on my list but still got my number one spot that year. Deadly Premonition is also all time great. I do this out of love.

Nier is the only game this gen that i've gone back and replayed (twice!), just love running around the world listening to that amazing soundtrack while the companion characters bicker behind me. Drakengard 3 is coming out in the west next year and has the same writer/director and sound team, so hopefully it retains some of the atmosphere (Nier was a spinoff from the Drakengard series after all)

i keep thinking about picking up Nier

Does 50 Cent: Blood on the Sands fit into this niche? the voiceovers push it into it IMO, the game itself is just totally uninspired.

Charlie Brooker is entertainingly vitriolic about that game

btw, Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death is a self-aware-ish budget title that looks fairly enjoyable if you are so inclined

When it hits a budget price I think I'll bite on Dragon's Crown

Ha, Ride to Hell dropped to $10 at BestBuy. I'm really tempted to get it from jjjusten's review here but... i've probably got enough legitimately good games in the backlog that it would be unwise

Love this review

also:
ride to hell: retribution - $7
defiance - $7
aliens: colonial marines - $9
http://www.gamefly.com/Store/PS3/

Aliens - that's the broken one that looks like a PS2 game?

true of so many games, but yes

a friend picked up the Alone in the Dark reboot mentioned way upthread as a gag and oh my god this is really something

Aliens: Colonial Marines for PC download, $1.99 just for today. Comes with coupon for $5 off an Amazon download next month, they're usually pretty good with their "Best Of" selection in January.

dudes i want to talk about Anarchy Reigns

so its a sequel (kind of?) to madworld, closed world beat-em-up that is also apparently a 20ish character fighting game as well - im hot garbage with regards to fighters, so i am not a good judge. dumb as a brick in many ways, weird "why is this here" vehicle timed lap racing sections, no attempt at even vague coherency, interspersed with completely out of character and hamfisted "touching" dead kid storyline. its a glorious god damn mess so far, not as broken as ride to hell (which well jesus i dont know if anything in recent memory is that broken) but so bafflingly out of step with videogames of the modern day that it is quite refreshing. its no bulletstorm, but its cheap as dirt and solidly in the spirit of this thread.

sounds fun, will wait for $5

just learned about this stinker recently

The first good argument for me to own a gaming PC. Which I don't, so infinite sadface.

noooooo

jjjjusten if you like bad games and you don't have even a mid-level PC that can run garbage from 2006ish then you're missin out.

I know! Curse of Mac owner. And it's a shitty "old" mac, but that still means nothing came out for it ever.

Ohhhhh yeah, grabbed Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard for 90 cents on that recent flash sale, let's get stupid

I kept seeing these two Skylight games (for Vita) pop up in PSN sales and became curious enough to look into them. And, well...holy jesus:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRtn_KG9jAw

Just to be clear, these are pretty much brand new games and not something someone made for their high school computer class in 1996.

Ah ha ha ha. Just saw that this is currently on clearance sale in the PSN store and came here to post a gameplay vid, totally forgetting that I'd already ragged on this irredeemable POS. Thanks for saving me some work, Younger Lunch.

jeeze louise

Ah heck, why not another, it's pretty funny to hear the reviewer get pissy about trying to 'play' the godforsaken thing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ41J-sGyXs

To be clear, someone is responsible for making three entire games that look/play like this.

i'm definitely planning to do a adventure into this world on the switch but waiting another year or so for the library to 'mature'
