43 - Eastshade - 10 points / 1 Vote

apex legends is a f2p game so i can't sell it nor do i want to

eastshade was my vote though! it's kinda like an indie-scope elder scrolls game with no combat/conflict, you're a traveling painter and have to find and paint things for people and such

what do you mean it's an elder scrolls game

Oh, that sounds lovely. Windows only it seems, though, so no go for me.

xp just aesthetically, the world has the same vibe

looks like ps4 game maybe i will try it...

43 - Luigi's Mansion 3 - 10 points / 1 Vote

riyl walking sims basically

luig3 is good i need to finish it at some point

good screenshot

a friend tells me luigi's mansion 3 is actually v good despite the tepid reviews i would like to hear from ilxors plz who have played it

i don't like walking sims but that game seems maybe like more than just a walking sim? seems to have decisions that influence the world and things to actually do?

not really iirc? most of the things to do are talk to people and do simple side quests. its v much in walking sim territory

xxp i promise once we get to something i've played i'll give my thoughts but it's gonna be a couple hours before that lol

43 - The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 3 - 10 points / 1 Vote

still love this dumb series, obviously this is of no interest to anyone who hasn't played the previous ones as it's an ongoing story

ive tried to play the first one a couple fo times but i keep bouncing off... one day. (and by the first one i mean the trails in the sky one)

yeah unfortunately that first one is a real slow starter, the main plot doesn't really emerge until well into the game, so a lot of people bounce off. which, its a series that really asks you to care about the tons of incidental dialogue and character writing so starting with a litmus test is probably fine

a series that really asks you to care about the tons of incidental dialogue and character writing

aha, so, not 4 me probably. What's the combat system like

pretty standard turn based jrpg combat but it's on a grid/plane so positioning matters a little and AoEs have different shapes/radiuses

43 - Ape Out - 10 points / 1 Vote

ok, i really enjoyed inmost. a story told from three different angles at three different points in time to quite sinister and uncanny effect. three v different playing styles. a grim, disturbing palette. and a nice old “C64” platforms feel to it. first one i voted for i think.

lol, i have voted for none of these! i have played none of these!

new board description imo.

i am curious about trails of cold steel because i am a nerd

Ape Out only getting one vote makes me sad as I've watched a lot of it, but never played it.

43 - Golf Blitz - 10 points / 1 Vote

Forks the Legend of Heroes series is (at least?) six deep now -- Trails in the sky 1-3, and trails of cold steel 1-3. TitS (lol yes i know) are each like 50-70 hours, and ToCS are each more than that. IT's a commitment! But they are beloved by those who put the time in

is it heavy on crafting?

Apex is my favorite of the battle royale shooters, and thus I voted for it. I suuuuck at it but it is very very well made and cool.

Do you call it ApeLegs?

hehe i will now

43 - Toejam & Earl: Back in the Groove - 10 points / 1 Vote

NOTE: Coint and Plick does not advocate hifiving until the end of social distancing recommendations

not much of a gamer, but eastshade is the walking sim on my wishlist, waiting for a sale. played cat quest 2, it was fun and diverting and i finished it. have the first trails in the sky on my to-play list, but i never really play games so...

toejam and earl revival is mystifying to me. has a new eek the cat cartoon been kickstarted yet?

whoever voted for Toejam and Earl please tell me about it, the first one is a legit top-5 alltime game for me

42 - Tom Clancy's The Division 2 - 11 points / 1 Vote

Whoa, Toejam & Earl! There's a wave of nostalgia.

I was, as silby guessed, the voter for The Fog Knows Your Name. It's a choicescript/choice of games story, and while I enjoy wasting some time with those types of IF, I usually find them fairly shallow and not actually that replayable. The stats and characters you build don't often actually make much difference to the story, despite ostensibly being the things that drive the game. This one, though, I played through a few times and found different scenes and vastly different endings, and also a bit of puzzle in terms of how to play to get a good ending. It helped that it had a compellingly mysterious spooky story at its heart, too.

I also voted for Unheard. It's a detective/logic puzzle, where you're undergoing an experiment and have to match voices to people in order to work out what's really happening. I definitely recommend it, my only real gripe was that it was a little short. It's on Steam, not sure about platforms.

you can play trails of cold steel 1 without any prior knowledge of the series if the 'its like persona, but fantasy' angle appeals to you, but trails in the sky is the original entry point and is somewhat of a classic. especially if you've got the pc/steam version where they added a turbo button so you can fastforward through stuff like spell animations and the dozens of cutscenes of airships slowly taking off and landing which cuts like 10 hours off the game.

fog game got the cheers theme stuck in my head
