    • RE: Last game you finished

      Return of the Obra Dinn

      Finally got round to playing this one, it was very cool! The art style put me off but it grew on me eventually, still not a fan but I imagine a more detailed style would have possibly made some of the puzzles too easy.

      The concept is super fun and original, and the execution is mostly great, although it does become a bit repetitive after a while. You're tasked with identifying every member of the crew through flashbacks of the moment of their death, as well as who's responsible and how it happened.

      At first you rely on obvious cues, like someone calling another's name or rank, but it quickly becomes much harder to identify people and you need to pay attention to the most seemingly insignificant things to make the correct guess. You've got a journal which automatically updates with every clue you learn, and where you must fill in the blanks.

      In order to prevent brute-forcing, you must have a set of 3 correct answers at once for them to be confirmed by the game. Given the amount of possible combinations, it mostly makes it impossible to make completely random guesses. But in some cases I still resorted to it, because I had no idea how else to progress. "I know this guy is one of the 4 Chinese topmen, but literally no way to know which one exactly" As I advanced and locked in more and more identities, the remaining ones became easier to guess by process of elimination, which made it engrossing.

      Some of the fates are sometimes too unclear and the game compensates this by making multiple solutions acceptable in these cases, but it's still a bit frustrating when the manner of death looks like one thing but is considered another.

      Not a perfect game, but there's nothing else like it. If you enjoy puzzles and whodunits, go for it.

      Bumping one more time, we're up to 32 voters, I'd love to have 4-5 more then I'll call it quits.

      Please take the time to go through the list in this thread and send me your votes if you can :)

      Can't believe there was no topic for it yet!

      Anyway, this is happening! Can't wait, it's one of my most anticipated games of the year.

      @scotty said in That's News!:

      I was excited until seeing the man on the project. Expecting a boring looter-shooter with weak story. Damn! I hate GaaS.

      Nah, not necessarily, just because a studio/director made a certain type of game once doesn't mean that's all they'll ever do.

    • RE: Vote for the forum's GOTY 2009!

      Apparently someone promoted because someone voted today and told me they heard about it on Twitch chat.

      I'm a bit wary about expanding the vote too much because then we get people who vote and never come back, and if there's issues with their vote I can't reach them, like what happened with the decade vote.

      Hopefully the forum regulars will be enough :)

      @mbun Fuck I was hoping it would be some meaningless extra levels, but this looks too good to pass up. Don't make me buy this game again Nintendo!

    • RE: Final Fantasy VII Remake

      @dipset Focus on just finishing FF7 first, for the rest I think you'll be fine with just reading up about it. Advent Children is one of the most nonsensical pieces of crap I've ever watched, don't get your hopes up.
