Jekyll and Hyde isn't nearly as bad as its reputation but that last level with the barrels is brutal.

 

Still, I'd never touched it before it showed up in the mail last night and I got through the first and most of the second level in the first 15 minutes, it's really not that hard until those barrels show up and actually kind of fun.

 

Definitely interesting enough to be worth the $9 but I can't imagine what it would have felt like to buy this thing new back when it came out.

I remember feeling confusion and disappointment when I rented it as a kid. Could make sense of what the game was or what you had to do.

I award this trailer 9 Kojimas out of ten.

Seems too soon for Divinity: OS 3 to be announced, so maybe the third in the main series (hopefully).

Actually it seems Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 teasings and rumours might be true. Downloading the video and opening up the file in a text editor reveals

oh my GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
 

Just in time too. I beat the first one just a few weeks back. Beat the second one about a year ago.

Now I just snagged Gato Roboto (the feline version of Metroid) on Steam. I knew about it months ago, but pretty much had forgotten about it until it came out today. I just barely scratched the surface of Void Bastards though. Priorities n' shit.

Ahhh yeah, so it's not Linux it's UNIX (BSD is classed as proper UNIX). Still a PC though.

 

But yeah, that's why it's hilarious — it can totally be ported (considerably easily) to PC, but they won't. Because exclusivity. Which is even funnier considering that the margins on console hardware are pretty slim, and they make the money from games sales...

Even more ironically - PS4 dev kits are essentially PCs with custom software (and some hardware I reckon as well). I wonder if anyone's ever tried to port the PS4 OS or SOC to bog standard PC hardware (that matches the PS4)?

guardian ape's second form is an apparition type, so divine confetti is super effective against it. divine confetti is actually a straight up damage buff against any boss, which is never explained in the item description. combine that with an ako's sugar. gg ez

I know about the divine confetti - makes those assholes with Terror statuses much easier to deal with. Didn't think of using with PooApe.

I'm soo tempted to get this for Switch just so I can play it, but kinda want to hold out for PS4

Gato Roboto is great!

Fuck you mouse!

Been waiting for a physical copy to play this, anyone else a fan?

Not sure if I'm in the minority, but my favorite "sims" game is still the original Sim City. =/

Yeah and with the money cheat.

Just building a sprawling urban jungle, watch your city turn into a metropolis and then of course the inevitable disasters... 

I really want to play The Longest Journey but I'm currently on an old Macbook only  tower's dead

Yeah! I had a ton of fun with that game lol

So I finished Far Cry: New Dawn. Good lord is that story awful. Pretty fun regardless though. My girlfriend and I had a good time just wandering around looting different locations.

hell yeah

Took three tries but I did it.

EDIT: if you recognize this then you have my sincere condolences.

Have any of you played Sundered? It was on sale for like $5 so I grabbed it (even though my current computer most likely can't run it). Any good?

Playing Team Sonic Racing with my nephew, it has a novel mechanic where you race in teams of 3, and slingshot each other to the finish line by passing thru their slipstream.

I feel you. I played Sim 3000 and 2000 as a kid. I've never played the original though I used to watch my uncle play it.

SimGolf still skanks.

Damn, that looks familiar! I can't put my finger on what game it is though (I know it's a NES game though)

Played a ton of Gato Roboto... this game is sooo good! The jumping mechanic is a bit slippery; it's easy to overshoot a platform.

Currently stuck on the third encounter with a certain creature... I won't spoil it but it's pretty obvious/comical. Damn pattern memorization skills faltering as I get older.
