whatchu playing now

what would nathan drake look like with boobs? pay less than a dollar and stop wondering

probably pretty easy just put a spring inside a boob and let the user touch the boob to drag the spring, tune the parameters a bit and it's done

i like that idea but i want to add ray tracing

also, what about detachable boobs? the frogs were onto something there

I'm on the final boss in Mortal Shell. Highly recommended for anyone who digs soulslikes.

:O

that is very timely post, because i was just browsing for a new game to play. last night i beat hades for, i think, the final time. i got the first at around 30 hours, the "real ending" at around 40-50 (don't remember), then the REAL ENDING at around 120

oh dude, you need to play mortal shell. it's cheap, frustrating and absolutely up your alley. Plus I wanna talk about it with someone!

First three play sessions followed the traditional "okay, i must be doing this wrong because i can't get past the first two guys" play format, giving way eventually to the "oooooohhhhh i see how i can do this" and then rinse repeat once every two hours for about thirty total. You'll love it.

i did it without an internet check btw (with the exception of wtf i was supposed to do with the giant frog, which you should look up when it starts to bother you) and i recommend you do too

this final guy is a stone cold pain in the ass in that I totally know how to beat him except for his ONE special move that I can't work out avoiding. gonna need to put in some time tonight.

I fell out with cities skylines when it just kept griping about improper sewage control, when they're clearly wasn't aaargh fuck you

THEY'RE!!!!

post the list ciderpress u coward

i bought Star Wars Squadrons for the vr experience. Not installed yet due to work taking over this week but anyone else tried it?

not yet but it's next on my list. a little concerned about x-wing/TIE fighter style gaming without my childhood ADVANCED GRAVIS joystick and keyboard combo

i'm curious about that too, let us know how it is! i don't expect much from a recent sw game though i have to say

fallen order was kinda ok!

nb i didnt beat it because i got super fuckin bored

i watched part of a playthru and it looked very average.

i haven't played an arcadey flight sim in a million so i'd love for squadrons to be good

ok, I'll start installing and try tonight

was playing skribbl.io last night and was pretty surprised when I realized I was playing with Pewdiepie

wow

did you make fun of him?

it wasn't until he was headed out that he mentioned who he was and started promoting his channel and etc. Definitely felt like a missed opportunity but also I don't really know much about him. Just a weird random thing.

Always
Be
Promoting the channel

speaking of arcadey flight sims, does anybody remember Colony Wars for PS1? i loved that game so much. i would love to play a modern version. it got me thinking about The Expanse, and how fun a mission-based space game would be, set in that universe.

holy christ

ciderpress don't play TWEWY on anything except DS, all other versions ruin it afaict

the backlog must forever be infinite
love Fire Emblem Three Houses, just put 150 hours into it and will come back to it later next year for the other two routes

Momodora, it looks gorgeous but I found the gameplay shallow and flawed. Lot's of people seem to like it though, I'm possibly too demanding when it comes to 2d platformers.

i like how half of the games in the backlog are hundreds of hours long! now THAT is a backlog

oh right i forgot to check my 3ds so also add ace attorney 6 and radiant historia

yeah good luck wedging Death Stranding within that lot

oh for sure i'll probably never get to at least a third of these before my interest in them wanes, there's no mandate here

only one out of that pile i've played is Control. it's great!

First couple of hours in Death Stranding are incredibly boring, I know it gets more engaging in the third chapter but damn Kojima is really making it hard to stay motivated.

Cosign the Fire Emblem rec, I'd say that the localization/VA sucks but seeing that you have a dedicated list of JRPG games you have a certain tolerance for that kind of stuff.

it got me thinking about The Expanse, and how fun a mission-based space game would be, set in that universe.

The Expanse was originally conceived of as a TTRPG!

someone just published this article for ciderpress:

https://kotaku.com/how-to-chip-away-at-a-massive-games-backlog-1845794480

Pyre: Great story and characters... the gameplay didn't really grab me but it is certainly unique.

Stephen's Sausage Roll: Masterpiece, but good luck beating even the first level. Very hard.

really impressed by fight'n rage btw - particularly given it was made by one guy. surprisingly deep combat system, lots of little game reference easter eggs, great soundtrack and lots of replayability with branching paths, multiple endings, unlockables, and extra modes. maybe a little repetitive in places but that's not uncommon for beat-em-ups

oh in the case of sausage roll i tried it already and the first level broke me pretty quickly but i'd like to give it another shot. definitely the most humbling puzzle game i've ever encountered

quite fancy paradise killer next. anyone played that

i liked pyre a lot, too. i agree that the game/sport you play gets a little stale, by the end. but it's also a pretty short game, and it doesn't overstay its welcome by much

oh yeah paradise killer looked really good to me too, gonna toss that on the wishlist pile

I've only put a couple hours into Paradise Killer so far so I can't say too much about the gameplay yet as I've mostly just wandered around, but the soundtrack and atmosphere are very good if satanic vaporwave seems like your thing.

Squadrons is fun so far btw but I've only played the prologue and one mission. Will do online and more at the weekend.

Not sure I have the patience to get good enough to compete in multiplayer, but Squadrons did a solid job of approximating the splat-splat-pow satisfaction of Star Wars space combat. Appreciated that they carried over the fundamentals of the og X-Wing/TIE Fighter games. Pretty lightweight though and it knows it at 40 bucks out of the gate. Would be undeniably rad with a VR headset.

KM, did you grab mortal shell yet?
