Games You Played Today Oratorio Tangram

Out of curiosity, did you play the demo? It also did nothing for me but then I got the game on a lark a year later and found it perfectly decent

Had the same experience with new doom

I just played the ZONE OF THE ENDERS THE 2nd RUNNER MARS ANUBIS ZONE OF THE ENDERS MARS ORANGE CASE demo on Steam. Seems like a good port, even if my rose-tinted glasses make me think that they weren’t able to bring over all the insane particle effects from the PS2 original. It sounds better though, especially if you enable the headphone setting under audio options.

Brevity is an odd word to use for an approximately 35-50 hour long game.

It was an odd choice of word, but this game is at least less long winded when it comes to the cutscenes

It also didn’t really feel like I had been playing it for 60 hours, it kind of flew by

Oh, I played OnRush and I honestly don’t think it’s very good. It’s just too sloppy and doesn’t feel great, much like Motostorm always did. Trying to ram other cars is always confusing as to what will happen and why (RIP Burnout ;_;7) and idk, maybe I just don’t like pack racing but it feels weird how much you just kind of stay in the same spot relative to everyone else? That said, it’s just such a bizarre and weird idea that it’s still compelling to me. Also, having super meter music was a bad idea back when SSX or whatever started it, but I was floored when it started playing The Death Set so that’s probably my video game surprise of the year.

Yeah I still wanna play this and Wreckfest but I concede I am making no effort toward doing so

I’m gonna have to play Wreckfest because I’m like the one person who likes FlatOut, but I must admit I completely forgot about it until you wrote that.

I dunno if Wreckfest still has the physics playground. But man that sure was fun, back when the game was called NextCarGame.

everyone says it really came together over the last year or so!

Aw snap, we gotta play online sometime! I love the heck out of this game. (I own six copies so I can someday force people to play with me.)

I always knew people would dislike it just for how different in concept it was to the previous games but the almost complete lack of anything outside of playing online certainly did it no favors. They keep patching in new story scenes so someone at SE must think that’s what the game really needs. The game got datamined a month ago and there’s a lot of stuff on disc, including complete text for another game mode, so I wonder what the deal was with this console port. But if you’re cool with only hopping online and playing ranked or lobbies then I think the game is a ton of fun.

seconding that ys 8 is phenomenal; it has the spirit of a gbc game that might have changed my life had it come out in 1999

ah really, what’s the issue with it? I was planning on making that my plane game

Also, a pox upon Toad’s Treasure Tracker, I got more than 5000 coins on Mummy Me Forever and it didn’t give me the tick.

ZZT4 demo is available and it is very serious and I can’t really take that stress in 2018 (as predicted). I also despite reading Japanese just ran in a circle for 30 minutes wondering what I was supposed to do and then it crashed.

Kyoei Toshi was obviously a testrun for this a lot of the tech is identical but having gravitas in your video game about a real world problem is not a good time.

i’m in the same spot. i like the (literal) meme aspect of metal gear rising a lot, but i haven’t got around to playing more of it yet. i also maybe blame 04 ninja gaiden for satiating me on this genre

the mgr soundtrack is nutty though i’d give that a look through one way or another
