I'm going to have to post Overgrowth http://www.wolfire.com/overgrowth If you check out their previous game Lugaru (rabbits kicking ass against other rabbits and wolves, what!?), you'll be excited about Overgrowth. Also they have a really thriving pre-order community as anyone who does so gets in on weekly (daily?) builds and discuss it on their forum. The first one had a lot of ability to modify it and such as well. Also, it's great to see independent developers be successful.

Sometimes I get excited for Star Wars: TOR even though it's an MMO and I think "Oh well, it's still BioWare. Who cares if it's an MMO?" and then I read the WoW thread and golly that desire dies quickly.

This was a big quote that killed my excitement:

Yeah, you should familiarize yourself with builds and tinker around with a reputable spreadsheet a bit if you have the time.

Ain't never been excited for a genre where tinkering with a spreadsheet is good advice.

Yeah, there's a lot of blame to spread around on that one. Big reason I recommend spreadsheets is that a lot of people just give advice by pulling numbers out of their butt and they're often wrong. Still, it does bother me that a lot of the community use things like having a "bad" build to justify acting like dickwads. It takes a nice tool and turns it onto a scourge with which to mock casuals for playing a video game without using an outside app, which is silly. On the other hand, a lot of the current game mechanics are amazingly counterintuitive. I don't consider it a feature when one weapon can come from a higher level boss, have a higher damage range, higher stats AND lets you swing more often... but can still be a downgrade. Blizzard says they're putting a lot of work into making it more of a non-issue with the next expansion, and I wish them good luck on that front, but I'm not really holding my breath either.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #170 on:** 03 Jul 2010, 18:33 »

See, just the fact that stats are such a thing to focus on instead of enjoying actually playing turns me off. I mean, I know min-maxing is a thing in any RPG, but usually it's only something a certain subset of players do. In an MMO, it's something everyone has to do to in order to be able to do all of the content. I hadn't considered that BioWare would make such a game since, at least for their last few releases, mix-maxing is a thing you can do but you can really beat any BioWare game with any build.

But they also released a multi demo video and gosh it looks so much...like an MMO.

Alex C · « **Reply #171 on:** 03 Jul 2010, 18:58 »

The sad part is if you can get enough people with good heads on their shoulders you actually can skip a lot of the min-maxing, at least for most fights. But that's tricky enough that a certain amount of overgearing is basically considered standard operating procedure for puggers etc.

I just watched that demo, and man, Bioware better have a Jedi tanking class up their sleeves. MMO players swarm melee dps classes like flies on shit even before you factor in lightsabers. Go, go tank shortage!

I kid, mostly. At least it looks like sabers help vs. other melee weapons, which would be a good start.

I'm kind of on the fence about DQ9. On the one hand, money's kind of tight for me right now so I should really avoid buying games at full price unless I really want them. On the other, I am a sucker for an RPG with an in-depth class system, which from all the import accounts I've read is the strongest part of DQ9. On top of that, apparently Enix has been really good about supporting the game with free DLC, which Nintendo has already said they have every intent to localize for the American version. It's a shame the multiplayer is local only, although I guess playing a turn-based RPG multiplayer isn't necessarily the most exciting thing in the world. I'm still kind of undecided, but I'm leaning towards getting it, especially since there's not a whole lot else coming out this summer beyond Crackdown 2, which I don't intend to buy on day one unless some friends rope me into it.

From what I hear(and have played) it's exactly like the first one except for everything they did worse.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #176 on:** 05 Jul 2010, 14:25 »

I preordered it off Amazon, and it says it will probably arrive tomorrow.

I don't even know if I care though. I preordered without having played the demo, on a whim, because I got a super sweet deal on it (about $38).

Well, at least if it sucks I can trade it in and get more than I paid for it towards something else instead.

That being said, I played the demo both alone and with 3 other guys, and it just isn't much fun solo. Crackdown is like Borderlands: co-op is really what makes it worth playing.

still think it's going to be an mmo? think again. there has been a movement in the forums that went to something like 16000 posts. soloers want more content, raiders shouldn't have all the fun.

bioware now seems to be thinking about it with the new thread they've posted.

it's well on it's way to being swtor, the massively single player online rpg.

They are apparently making a metro 2034. Sweet. And Mirror's Edge 2, although I guess that might be old news that I am just now hearing. Sign me up, although I will need a better computer before I buy even metro 2033.

http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-limbo/17-2852/

update: just finished it. amazing game.

It's a very minimalist platformer. There are two buttons being used. A to jump, B to push and pull boxes and use various kinds of switches. There is no dialogue, written or otherwise, and apart from a brief blurb that isn't even in the game, and the very brief ending, there is no indication of a story. You wake up and make your way through spooky forests, spooky factories, and spooky rooftop cityscapes, all while solving challenging and clever puzzles (often involving gravity shifting mechanics, especially in the late game) that, with one possible exception late in the game, felt like a very natural progression, almost like what you'd expect from a Valve game.

Apart from a very, very few enemies (who never utter a sound), the game is empty of people, except for your own black silhouette (which, apart from the sound of footfalls, also never makes any noise the entire game). The game is purposely very bleak: everything is in shades of black and white. As I mentioned before, there's no dialogue and almost no story. The use of music and sound effects in a lot of the game is very sparing, and when they are used, I felt it was to great effect (mostly in the factory levels). Oh and also the ways you die (and you will die, a lot) are often quite gruesome, whether being shredded to bits by spiked wheels, watching your blood drip from the bottom of the platform that dropped down and crushed you, or being impaled through various parts of your body by spikes, among many others (accompanied by appropriately nasty sound effects).

The game is only about five hours long, even if you're like me and get stuck in a few places for a while.

sorry to bring this up twice in one thread, but I'm surprised, especially in a place like the QC boards, that no one has brought this up (especially as it seems to be getting glowing reviews all over the place). It seems like the sort of game we'd all enjoy.

someone just linked me to this. It's basically a fan-made King's Quest game. Has a quote from Roberta Williams saying she likes it alot and everything. Looks quite professional, and well-made, even if it is free.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #192 on:** 24 Jul 2010, 23:42 »

I've spent most of the time over the last two days either at work or watching other people play Marvel vs. Capcom 3. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since I really liked MvC2 despite being completely dreadful at it. There's something about the over-the-top fighting styles with triple jumps and 50-hit combos and the unique character opportunities provided by the crossover that really appeals to me despite my general apathy towards fighting games. It's just so much fun to watch, and I can make enough cool stuff happen even though I only know a few basic motions that it's still enjoyable to play despite constantly losing. Also, I love all the attention to little details, like certain attacks damaging the 'page' before it turns to a new one and every character having a tag-in quote for everyone else. When Hulk in tags in Iron Man he just screams METAL MAN, which I think is hilarious. Plus, it's got fucking Amaterasu from Okami in it.

Basically, watching Capcom stream people playing the Comic-Con build over the last couple games has taken this game from "that'll be cool, I guess" to "WANT NOW" in my mind. I know I won't be able to play anything like them, but I don't care. I'm willing to be suckered by MvC3.

Dead Island

It seems that somebody is finally making a REAL zombie game. One that has an emphasis on survival and combat avoidance.
Ofcourse too little is known of it at the moment, and could be that it is a vapour. But i can hope.

Also, I'm a little interested in the Street Fighter x Tekken (and vice versa) games that's been announced. They've been throwing bits and pieces of gameplay elements from the two games that really do make a nicely improved central game.

I've already mentioned that I'm excited about it in this thread, but I just want to reiterate that Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will be the greatest video game ever made.

They also showed Nathan Spencer from Bionic Commando and screenshots for Magneto and MODOK leaked, so they're almost certainly the two characters that will be announced at the Marvel games panel later today.

But dude.

Fuckin' Arthur.
