Cogmind gets its early access release tonight, so I'll be hopping between that, Caves of Qud and Rimworld for the foreseeable future.

caves of qud is so cool, havent really delved into it much yet but the 'storytelling engine' or whatever you want to call it is very neat

what system are you playing the gta games on? Had an absolute nightmare trying to get the controls to work right through Steam. (Eventually found something called GInput which sorted it out)

are you using keyboard & mouse or a gamepad?
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 October 2017 14:50 (six years ago) link
gamepad.
San Andreas I prefer the mouse though for on foot combat etc.

im playing on PS3. they have the 3/VC/SA trilogy for $30 on the store.

Godhand is a lot of fun. reminds me of Final Fight or dumb old arcade games. i love the music, it is a weird mix of drum n bass and surf rock. the first level has a song that sounds very close to The Ventures "Theme from Hawaii Five-0"
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 17 October 2017 16:49 (six years ago) link
godhand is wild! great game. something about the ps2 seemed to encourage a lot of experimentation.
― adam, Tuesday, 17 October 2017 16:50 (six years ago) link
it is def something else. i went into the combo menu and wow at the ridiculous amount of customization you can do. hand-crafted combos with like a hundred different moves to choose from.
the style humor is a treat. at times its like an anime Three Stooges.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 17 October 2017 17:02 (six years ago) link
style of humor
godhand is fuckin great

playing Hob again, as they seem to have fixed most of the performance issues in the latest patch. it's not perfect, there's some bits where it feels like you're fighting against the fixed camera angle rather than the game, but i'm really enjoying it. the set design continues to be incredible, it's not a trick that gets old at least not over the course of what i assume is a ~10 hour game.

Nearing the end of my second playthrough of FF6. I first played it over 10 years ago and have thought of it as being my fav FF since, and this time round has really cemented that opinion. Lots of memorable characters, great music, fun battles with every character getting unique menu options, and tons upon tons of secrets and hidden stuff all over the map(s). And its not that long, I’m in the final dungeon with 25 hours on the clock and lots of time spent doing sidequests etc.
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Thursday, 26 October 2017 02:16 (six years ago) link
ff6 was the first jrpg i played and it set my expectations wayyyy too high for the genre
― ciderpress, Thursday, 26 October 2017 02:21 (six years ago) link
ff6 is so great. try to see the Gau sidequest, i recall there is a really poignant backstory for him. didn't see it until my nth run.

Like many, I’m currently playing Mario Odyssey, but the Steam Sale got me and I bought Thumper to play in VR. It’s certainly not the most “in your face” VR, but dang it works so well.

How is Mario? (xposts)
― Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Sunday, 29 October 2017 06:23 (six years ago) link
it's real fun so far. i'm being obsessive and hunting all the moons on each stage before progressing... even at the start they give you two stages to obsess over before you get going!metal gear levels of cinematics tho'.
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Monday, 30 October 2017 17:32 (six years ago) link
FYI you can't get every moon your first time through so don't strain yourself hunting if they seem to be drying up

Mario's great! Not as amazing as Zelda, but what is, really.It's super fun and cute, but didn't WOW! me until New Donk City.

I'm taking a 2-day break from stardew valley, because part of me wants to just go as deep as I can in the mines, part of me wants to just socialize, and another part of me wants to get really good at fishing, but really what I want, what I REALLY want, is some horror content, because if anything is a set up to the Stepford / Wicker Man / GET OUT trope, it's this fucking town.
The carpenter lost "her favorite axe" in the woods. The mayor wants me to hunt down his favorite purple shorts. The librarian has the key to the sewer, where something apparently lives, if you ask the children. The multinational discount retailer is evil, not our strange pastoral way of life where beer costs 400 whatevers and for some reason the museum has no exhibits whatsoever until yours truly comes along. My farm has a second structure on the grounds which is in utter ruins, but nobody talks about that. Sure. This is fine.

glad you stuck with it and seem to be enjoying it. i love the harvest moon/stardew valley genre and i want someone to perfect it
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 04:51 (six years ago) link
haha if stardew valley was secretly a horror game and no one had broken kayfabe on it for, what, two years, that would be the most amazing thing in the world to me

playing earthbound on the snes classic. previously i had tried it multiple times, starting with a cartridge rental close to its release and afterwards on emulators, but never got past threed. now i have 6/8 of the songs and i just got through a cave full of starmen. it is grindy, but not as bad as i had thought. hint to future players: don't bother with slingshots or yo-yos, they miss too often.

Loot boxes/pay-to-win is the scourge of video gaming. I have almost no interest in triple-A console games anymore, and my computer is too old/shitty to run Steam games. This will be the first time in probably fifteen or so years where I don't buy at least one of the big fall triple-a games.
