Could have sworn we had a PUBG thread but I'll say this here instead.
I am unbelievably shit at this game. Anyone else still play?

I finally found evidence that the best game of all time really did exist rather than just a fever dream of my youth

What do you all think? I've picked up Binary Domain in the strength of classic ILG comments and Echo is on my wishlist.

Sleeping Dogs was excellent and Freedom Cry good.

weird take on an 'underrated' list, bunch of games from massively popular franchises that weren't even particularly panned at release, and both The Missing and Pathologic 2 have gotten lots of praise in the past year
― ciderpress, Saturday, 22 February 2020 18:44 (four years ago) link
binary domain is the right sort of stuff though
― ciderpress, Saturday, 22 February 2020 18:55 (four years ago) link
Yeah, it's kind of clear that it's kind of a tossed off list, but I hadn't heard of e.g. Pathologic before so it's serving its purpose to at least one reader!
― Charlotte Brontesaurus (Leee), Saturday, 22 February 2020 18:56 (four years ago) link
I hadn't heard of Echo, myself, and it's only three years old
― Nhex, Saturday, 22 February 2020 19:02 (four years ago) link
remember me and binary domain were both excellent.

i've finally started red dead redemption II. RDR was one of my all-time favorites and this one looks amazing so far but man people weren't kidding about all the random shit you have to micromanage. also the controls aren't great. even when walking the main dude moves like the ford escort station wagon i learned to drive in

I guess it's a good time to play Bayonetta for the first time now that the remaster is out?

It'll always be a good time to play Bayonetta

Watching trailers just now: Floppy Knights has the same artist as Dicey Dungeons, I'm interested. Yestermorrow might be a standard puzzle platform or might be something more due to a time travel element.

ff7 remake did not look that fun based on watching people play it. though xenoblade doesn't particularly look great spectating it either and thats got the same sort of hybrid command-based/real-time system so who knows. it definitely did not pop as much as ff15
― ciderpress, Saturday, 29 February 2020 03:29 (four years ago) link
started the outer wilds, very agreeable so far though i still can't control the ship for shit after 4 hours
― ciderpress, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:39 (four years ago) link
I was unexpectedly all in on the ff7 demo and now I can't wait for the uh "full game" to drop
Biggest risk is of course that it's ten hours long for full price and they have no way of redoing the whole original game to that level of detail before we all die
― Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Monday, 9 March 2020 16:07 (four years ago) link
i assume it will be much longer than 10 hours even if that section of the original game was only 10
― ciderpress, Monday, 9 March 2020 16:48 (four years ago) link
ff7 demo was great, impressed with the update to the combat system, felt modern and punchy but still had some of the flavor of the original. first boss battle was surprisingly intense
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Monday, 9 March 2020 18:09 (four years ago) link
yeah im glad to be wrong about my impression from spectating
― ciderpress, Monday, 9 March 2020 18:18 (four years ago) link
someone described the character designs as being like they modeled cosplayers and i can only think of the game as a bunch of nerds reenacting ff7 now

i started using the autopilot p much every time, and just walking away from my pilot seat and using the information board thing. i don't even wanna look at it flying bc i'm like "oh i can do better than this" and then i crash into the wrong planet
unfortunately i actually haven't played since like friday, because my friend was visiting from out of town then my gf got super sick so she's not going to work/is on the couch/i don't wanna make her watch me play this :( really wanna jump back in tho. feel like i'm well over halfway done.

Hah you can't always count on the AP (it's flown me into the sun more than once), and. sometimes if you're accelerating and not buckled in you get smashed into the back of your ship.
― Feminism-Appropriating Regressive Transphobe (Leee), Thursday, 12 March 2020 18:24 (four years ago) link
holy shit! that hasn't happened to me yet. the sun thing tho i usually just fly manually a bit to make suuuuuure i won't hit it, then i put on autopilot
― Hackers (1995) (Will M.), Thursday, 12 March 2020 19:50 (four years ago) link
i have for sure autopiloted into the sun at least... 2 or 3 times
It is extremely easy to get way off track and not know how to correct for it.

i've been playing Murder By Numbers, a kind of Picross meets VN/Ace Attorney deal from the people who made Hatoful Boyfriend i think. i've got a serious Picross addiction and am partial to a VN, it's fun

i briefly tried to play Control again the other day and quickly resigned myself to the fact that even the first boss is too hard for me and i will never progress beyond that point, which is frustrating bc it seems like a cool game. it doesn't even have difficulty settings for me to unashamedly drop to the easiest level.
― na (NA), Monday, 16 March 2020 18:14 (four years ago) link
Yeah, they have adaptive difficulty but toward the end of the game, it wasn't quite dumbing itself down enough for me
I was getting the PS4 slowdown issues and a mouse might be better at aiming, so I am still thinking of picking it up on PC if it gets super cheap. I want to finish!

I have been playing Murder by Numbers, I'm not sure whether it's better written than Ace Attorney, or just calmer (or entirely possibly it's just that I understand all the cultural references), but I am really enjoying it.

I am absolutely mauling Gran Turismo Sport. The missions/challenges are TOUGH, man. Some of them remind me of the monumental VW van challenge in GT5 at the Top Gear airstrip. You get to drive such amazing cars and they really do handle totally differently. Squeezing past a Mercedes on a single-lane road through German pine trees - I love it

Infinitode 2 on my phone. It's a tower defense game with abstract shapes. Requires some grinding.Iconoclasts on PS4. Neat maze platformer, but too much dialog that slows it down.Murder by Numbers on my computer.

The wife and I finally got around to sharing our Steam libraries this weekend. Ran into a lot of games I hadn't thought about in a while, from back when we only had one computer for gaming. Been getting back into an old game by the name of Little Inferno.
It's a dark game. It was a dark game when I first played it, and it's a darker game now. The premise of the game is that you play as a little girl stuck alone in her house, just like everybody else is alone in their house, and it is so, so, cold. And to stay warm you burn. You burn everything you have and there is a company that will send you more things to burn. It's like magic! The more you burn, the more money you have. "That can't go on forever!" you say.
The company is the cause of the problem. The more you burn, the worse it makes things, but what else is there to do, really?
Eventually there's some sort of implausible series of things to burn that opens up a very long, dark, narratively focused endgame, just because I feel like the writers needed to make one, but in reality there's no end in sight for this or for any of us.
