I'm absolutely terrible at Mario Bros ... never mastered the odd momentum mechanics.

It's the exact same game they put on the NES Mini right ? I used to play the Mario Bros remake they put on the Super Mario World GBA cartridge and it was great but the NES Mini one was just painful to play imho.

There's plenty of games coming to Switch it's just great. Can't wait for Stardew Valley and Axiom Verge to drop !

That was the NES port, whereas this is a straight port of the arcade board, so it looks slightly tweaked. It's still hard as balls to control, but great for local multiplayer.

It's pretty close, this one has the arcade screen blur turned on by default, but it looks crisp with it set to off, also has the same sort of CRT emulation you could add to the NES and SNES Classic.

Ruiner is great

 

 

color me intrigued :o

 

was playing it for a couple of hours last night, only had to stop because it was 5am and I had to get some sleep for work.

 

 

frequent points of criticism seem to controls and difficulty... the latter is deffo a plus in my book tho :) what do you think?

 

It definitely needs the ability to rebind controls (I can't believe an indie developer is putting out a game in 2017 without the ability to rebind controls, that's just fucking crazy).

I am finding I'm hitting a brick wall at the moment, so yeah it's a bit difficult.

^ stuck trying to beat Hongshi in the Hanza Cargo area

Shit I can't wait. Hope they don't push it back again. Time to rewatch Deadwood!

Yee-haw!

So glad I didn't enable Ironman Mode on XCOM 2: WotC, having lost faction members on missions more than once. And with the Avatar Project progress squares being enough of a concern, now you gotta worry about that Chosen assassin bitch gaining enough knowledge to find your Avenger. I can't wait to put her down for good.

Might check out Ruiner after I'm done with WotC, between now and when the new Wolfenstein drops...

If the Assasin finds your ship is it game over or does it just prompt a battle?

Ruiner looks like PS1 era One. Was a 3d shooter blade runner esque.

pachamama game

Good question. Not sure yet, since I'm afraid to check around online, lest possible spoilers be revealed. Either way I prefer to find out on my own.

I'm hoping it'll be like one of those missions where a UFO brings the Avenger down and you have to defend it, if the Assassin finds it.

started playing Ruiner. love it! it's basically Perturbator: The Game.

thank you for this comment, as it made me check out this "perturbator" guy's latest EP and it's pretty fucking great, like carpenter on steroids. (yes, i am living under a rock)

beat Ruiner. short and sweet. straight back into it. there's plenty of room for customising play-styles, which I like.

it was a perfect break from playing DE:MD which I'm getting bogged down in tbh because I get all OCD about exploring everything and trying every possibility. I spent 50 hours just exploring Prague.

innit. some of the soundtrack material on Ruiner sounds so much like Perturbator it's not funny. I've been obsessed with his sound/that aesthetic for almost 2 years now. check out his last LP, it's solid.

off-topic but Perturbator and John Carpenter are playing a one-off gig together in Las Vegas at the end of Oct. dang.

woah!

aaaaand: cuphead is out!

oh yeah saw that

too many fucken games to play man

COD WW2 is more exciting than I expected, although it's still COD.

Definitely will play Cuphead, looks sweet.

Choices: Ruiner or Cuphead (or both!)

Decided to give Ruiner a spin. Only got thru the prologue so far. It's like Dark Souls meets Ghost in the Shell I guess.

Seems like Devolver is the go-to publisher for Polish indie developers these days.
