Highly recommend becoming "close friends" with Emily 'cause that chick has some trippy cut scenes!

this is the load game music for Stardew Valley. even if you never play the game you should hear this, it rules so much.

I started Horizon Zero Dawn. Even though I have issues with the post-Far Cry 3 template that this inhabits (standard mix of activities, huge map with quests of varying priorities feeling like I have way too many errands to run, etc), it's still pretty great. Mostly due to the mechanics around the robot animals that freshen things up.

Splurged on an Oculus Rift, should be here by the weekend. Hoping my 1060 6gb has enough vroom. So psyched right now! Superhot VR looks the shit. Will report back.

don't know if i can solve this puzzle tho

a whole game set in a floating city and it won't let you jump off things

i liked it a lot more when it started letting me jump off things

Yeah, tiltbrush is so good. Getting high, putting tunes on and drawing pretty pictures in cyberspace isn't going to get old for a while.

Having lots of fun with Superhot, Serious Sam and Robo Recall. Even with VRs resolution limitation its still a level of immersiveness I haven't encountered elsewhere. Enen just hanging out in VR is cool - playing paintball with randomers in VR was great fun, and watching the man u game in a virtual imax cinema with like 10 other people was a blast. Oh yeah, and wandering around London in Google Earth like I'm Godzilla.

No idea if VR is the future of gaming or a fancy eyeToy but for now I'm a complete convert.

bioshock keeps revoking my ability to jump off things

I got pretty far in bio shock ultimate but then encountered a glitch on the overhanging rail thing and gave up

thomp cmon just wiki the plot twist.

since this is basically the ILG borad thread I'll ask here, is anyone planning on running Coint + Plick this year? I think it's a good year for it. If someone wants to team up, I'd be willing to run the ballot collection and tabulation if someone else can commit to the rollout. I haven't followed C+P for a couple years but I'm…back into video games this year, because Switch

okay

so i started playing that new assassin’s creed game and it appears to be... legit great?

I'm NOT playing _Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy_ because apparently my computer isn't powerful enough to run it smoothly at lowest res and worst image quality. Yay Unity!

It seems like an, uh, interesting game. I guess it could easily be called a "meme" game — it's by the guy who made QWOP, and shows a similar interest in building a game around a frustrating control scheme. In this you are a man who's stock in a large kettle, who moves around by dragging and pulling and launching himself up a mountain with a hammer. You essentially control the tip of the hammer, within the range of your arms' reach.

Will hang on to it, just in case the Mac version gets an optimization fix in the next couple of weeks. (That happened to Enter the Gungeon, for instance, which was unplayable for me when it launched.)
Also, I've been planning to buy a PC for over a year now, so ANNNNY DAYYY NOWWW!

i don't plan on playing Getting Over It but i'm glad it exists. it's crazy to me that it's a performance intensive-game, though! it seems like one that could work just as well as a DOS-booted game on a floppy disk in 1990.

Yeah, it's also a 500 MB download!

But I think Enter the Gungeon was a Unity game as well, and that got its Mac performance problems fixed pretty fast, so with luck it might just be some configuration issues with the engine or w/e.

finally, a game about my life

it's sexy hiking, u squares

getting over it is like a Chris Marker film, but as a game

This sounds torturous. Like getting out of Plato's cave. I think I'll bite.

I am playing Kingdom New Lands ON IPAD and it rules

Finally playing No no Kuni again. The Studio Ghibli pair-up seems to have made them want to aim at a much younger audience than all the PS2 Level-5 games

Played through What Remains of Edith Finch on Friday and I've been thinking about it all weekend. I paid 13 bucks for 2.5 hours of game time and am completely satisfied. Hell, it'll probably wind up my GOTY and is definitely my favorite of the so-called "walking simulators." If it sounds like something you'd like, you should probably just go ahead and give it a try.

I'll also recommend Superflight, which is a perfect 3 dollar game and now my go-to "put some music on and chill for 20 minutes in between doing other shit" game.

Shadowhand is great btw. will likely start a thread.

trying out Northgard. Warcraft with bells on type stuff. It's okay so far, but a little over priced if you ask me.

Could not finish. The combat system appeared to have a lot to it, but none of it seems to have any impact on the game? In the end you could still just fight normally with whatever monsters you had since this the begining and ignore the skill tree and upgrades altogether, it seems. Very unlikely the SMT/Persona series where you have to really pick the right monsters to fight along side you depending on enemy vulnerabilities....

COD: WW2 is just frustratingly bad. Not unplayable but after 2-3 matches at a time it's just not fun. Thought a return to "realistic" would be good after all the sci-fi CODs but matchmaking is terrible, hit detection is crap and the maps suck.

I bought What Remains of Edith Finch a couple of months ago, I need to try it out.

I'm probably the only one here rocking the xbox one, but I'm stoked about PUBG being released this week. I have a shit laptop, so this will be my first experience playing the game.

is out on ps4 around the same time? i'm with you. although, i downloaded fortnite and after getting dominated in the battle royale mode a million times straight, i'm not sure i want to fork out money for PUBG and experience the pwnage all over again

I have read that PUBG is very glitchy on xbox at the moment so you might want to wait for an update

Karl, I believe it is coming to PS4 at some point. I think Microsoft paid a premium to have early access to the game. Poly, I read the same today, but I already purchased it a few days ago. I was planning on playing this weekend. I have the vanilla xbox so my expectations are low. I remember when F13 was released it was described as a buggy mess (and it was), but I had a blast playing it.

I'm worried about the frame rate issues people are having. I could care less about graphics, tbh.

grrr, couldn't care less.

shadowhand was fun up to the point where the RNG elements made each level require a dozen plays per to get the right deal

that really does make this year look crazy good. haven't heard of a huge chunk of those games, tons of indie pc stuff that looks awesome

Yeah that’s a nice list. Lots on xbone ps4 too, more than I’d expected. Pretty shabby listings for iOS but that seems to be established now.

deadly premonition

i love this

a classic for sure

we have made the switch today and it is delightful

Merry Switchmas to all

All these best of 2017 lists are more intimidating than usual, keep seeing stuff that looks good that went off my radar entirely.

I dusted off the witcher 3 since I'm trying to finish it in two years but goddamnit it doesnt make things easy.. trying to upgrade some gear and I need one goddamn component that I cant find anywhere, and the online guides aren't very helpful. THIS IS WHY ITS TAKING ME TWO YEARS TO FINISH THIS SHIT.
