I have begun my decent into Dark Souls II - kinda surprised at how the frame rate stutters pretty frequently so far, but at the same time can go silky smooth (30+) at the oddest moments. Hope it's not my BD drive or HDD packing it in...

Has anyone seen this:

BAM

I finally achieved 100% with Binding Of Isaac

and Hotline Miami

both in the same week

whodaman

I think the first one had an issue too on most versions (barring the PC version after the DSfix was installed) so I guess it's probably a hangover from the previous engine.

 

Has anyone seen this:

 

 

why is it scaled so far back in the retail version? The "april" version honestly looks like PC and the other one is console...

Looks like InFamous: Second Son was worth the delays on PS4:

Yes guys, I meant delayed from original release date.

Pokemon Battle Trozei playing right now, great mix of puzzle and collecting on 3DS

Been playing Retrocity Rampage DX on 3DS. Stupid fun. Worth the 9 euros.

The world is pretty extensive actually. I've been having all kinds of fun. Hijacked an ice cream van, painted it orange and installed a rocket launcher. Then drove around blasting everything.

There's quite an extensive talk about the making of RCR here:

this nostalgia wave just wouldn't pass... when will game people start making effort and come up with proper art and graphic design for games instead of copying shit from the 80'-90's ?

Yeah, I've no idea -

Stoopid generic looking modern games

yeah i don't care, i just don't like seeing 80's shit in the 2010's, and there's way too much of it. it feels like a lot of human energy and effort is wasted on it instead of coming with something more imaginative and groundbreaking.

My point was that there is lots out there that push the boundaries of art styles. Pixel art is just one form of that, whether you particularly like it or not is just your taste on that style - but even within that sub-genre there's things that subvert the art , eg:

Yeah, I like the minimalist graphics and art style in general and pixel art just pushes the right buttons. I really don't care for the sort of hyperrealistic superdetailed 3D HD CGI thing that most FPS's etc have. It makes me feel like I'm watching the fucking Transformers or something.

I'm loving this generation of indie game makers. I love short, difficult games like FTL, Rogue Legacy, Spelunky, Teleglitch, etc. since it takes so much time to grind in MMOs or do errands in Bethesda games as brilliant as they are.

What's up with the sound?

Been on a hella fun DOOM rush the past few days, beat the first and second already and I'm half way through the first again with the Brutal Doom wad installed. So much blood.

Finally got to try XCOM: Enemy Within last night. Only completed a couple missions so far, so I'm still a ways from building MEC soldiers, encountering Mechtoids, applying Gene Mods, etc. Gonna pick up where I left off after I finish this post.

If you make it far, please let me know how that game works. I completely gave up on it last year after failing three times in a row. I wanted to like it, but the luck based combat made me ANGRY.

 

By luck-based you're referring to the hit probability of soldiers lining up a shot with the enemy, right? I've found out that soldiers' ability to aim increases as they level up both in XP and rank. Rookies are generally the worst shots.

 

The original MicroProse game from 1994 had the same hit chance system as far as I know though. I reckon Firaxis were just staying true to tradition in this case.

 

Entorwellian just gave me a bunch of tips in CHATMM a moment ago. But yea, my units can't hit shit even when I level them up, like when there's a 99 % chance of hitting they'll miss nine out of ten times. It's ridiculous.

I'm convinced it's me who suck ass at the game but it sure would be nice to know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe it's time to give the game another chance and see if my vidja game skills have improved.

my post about achieving 100% on Binding Of Isaac and Hotline Miami in the same week is ignored :c

Playing Fez at the moment. Not bad.
