Devil Daggers is great. 95.8892 is my record (not great).

Add me on steam so I can see you on my friends leaderboard. http://steamcommunity.com/id/blackholeartist/

Do you think a person should skip straight to the sequel or should they also play the first?

I get the impression these are more about staging than writing per se, and the second really just seems like a bigger-budget version of the first. I haven’t so much as touched the original (I don’t think there’s a free demo available for the PS4 version and I have never seen a vita in real life other than on the bus once two years ago) but I’m super psyched.

Short answer: probably

Long answer: There will probably be callbacks to stuff that won’t make any sense without having played through the first game because of the stuff the story deals with and there’s no indications thus far that 2 will be a standalone story (much to the contrary, since the dev team has all but said that they realize they aren’t getting another shot and are putting out the rest of the story in 2)

Do I need to sit down and stream the whole game for you people or what

I’m more concerned with whether there are any especially sweet set pieces to play through, I can always read the plot on GameFAQs or something

jesus this game is good

I was really pumped for that game but I just don’t feel it. It’s missing something for me but I can’t quite place it.

Today at work (I work for Amazon) I stocked te weirdest thing I have seen so far; Resident Evil 2 for the Game.com

ok I started playing duelyst a bit does anyone want to play with me

yes! I’ve been playing on and off for about a year and just got back into it this month (I’m mid silver tier) now that the gaming press has discovered it

It’s so good. This and rocket league are the most I’ve played anything with randoms in like a decade

Sections three and four of Downwell get easier when you stop playing them as a platform game and instead play as they were shmups.

You still haven’t given any reason why out of all the Hearthstone clones, this is the one to play. Personally I’ve been a bit more interested in trying Faeria, which seems to have the best art and richer mechanics that aren’t “literally cards from Hearthstone + a grid”. Duelyst was first off the blocks on cloning Hearthstone and paying streamers to play it and that’s the only reason it’s a thing, as far as I can tell.

Also for people who played Devil Daggers before the update - did they reset the leaderboard? Or did they split it?

Booted it up real quick and it seems like they reset it. Whatever my score was doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

That’s a bummer! I just looked into it a little bit and the 2015 version is an opt-in beta, but the leaderboards are down :-/

duelyst goes the farthest in creating a sense of unit “presence” when playing a card, in that when the unit appears on the grid, it’s more a character than a card

both hearthstone and faeria seem perfectly content with the cards as representations of characters, but to me I’d rather have animated movement/attacking/idle phases if I’m going to be playing it on a computer. it’s the yugioh idea of having the card come to life after it’s played! having the literal card asset bump into another card asset as an “attack” ain’t gonna cut it for me anymore

and honestly, “cards from Hearthstone + a grid” is all that’s really needed for me to try it out. the grid itself provides enough complexity around unit placement and summoning that I’m totally ok with the cards being the same. I played hearthstone for a while and the cards themselves are fine; I just didn’t want to collect legendaries. not saying that duelyst has solved that problem in particular! it’s just a new thing for me to try out when I’m not hoping for people to play netrunner on jinteki.net

y’all should play netrunner on jinteki.net

Yeah, mine’s gone too. Thought it was related to trying the new Linux version, but I guess not.

In game playing news I played more Videoball and watched someone play Baten Kaitos in 3-D via Dolphin.
