Got a selection of GOOD STEALS on sale, stranger! (Part 1)

I don’t think it’s something humble bundle has much control over? I imagine most console devs do not see the value of offering their games in a bundle when they can continue to get sales at full price or discounted up to a maximum of 40%.

Darksiders is bloated but definitely not terrible – like, for God’s sake, don’t play it over dark souls, but it’s enjoyable enough

The only people I know who like freedom planet are trans furries but it’s probably pretty good

I haven’t played the first one but I definitely don’t hate Darksiders 2. It does an acceptable job emulating prince of persia, zelda and devil may cry. It also has mmo loot and skill trees which I’m not keen on but what are you gonna do. Even has a boss trying to ape a Shadow of the Colossus encounter.

I take offense to this statement

(ignore my avatar for a second)

Just load up the game, pick the mode where it skips over all the story and enjoy the level and boss design. It’s the indie game for those of us who grew up with BLAST PROCESSING

oh right I forgot you like it too

I was mostly making fun of a remarkably consistent stereotype among friends of mine, this game seems to be recommended purely on the basis of its aesthetic, but like I said, I don’t think that means it isn’t good

Wat.

Recommended on the psn sale: Catherine, gradius v, darius, NOT yak5

Would you call it yuck5?

Tempted by this and Firewatch.

That is a good deal on Gradius V, but I already have it on two platforms.

I’m excited to try Freedom Planet, I’ve heard lots of good things and one of my friends says it’s the best Sonic game to come out in like 25 years (despite it not being Sonic). And he’s not furry OR trans! To my knowledge, anyway. And it’s none of m business, frankly.

John Romero once said that Dark Siders is basically what he imagined when he first started designing Quake, before it was stripped down to being basically Doom. I wish they had the first game in the bundle, though. Maybe it will be one of the unlockables.

Darksiders II is a very competent God of War with Zelda puzzle dungeons. It is a great thing to beat in a weekend.

I tried that first Darksiders game and pretty much hated it, but I don’t think I understand what part of the God of War games is supposed to be fun, either

I was about to say, is that a stealth diss

this name blipped first time on my radar, so I hit ytube to see what this is all about, and got a very SONNICKy feeling in an instant. too fast

There is very definitely something in God of War that came out of Dave Jaffe and his people watching someone be good at DMC and going “we want that, but so anyone can do it,” which sorta misses the point. Oh and then covered it in even more grossness than DMC ever had.

The amount of those games is staggering.

There’s a lot of good stuff in there actually. KOF13, KOF2k2UM, Arcana Heart 3, BBCPEX, GGXrd, GGAC+R, Dangan Ronpa, Hatoful Boyfriend, Tobari, Umihara Kawase, Recettear, Fortune Summoners, probably some others I skimmed over
