I've had Far Cry 3 sitting in my steam list for ages, I just never took the time to play it.   I made it through about three missions, then I slipped off the road trying to evade pirates and fell into a small patch of water. I turned to try to head back to shore and the only thing I saw was an open mouth and a pair of teeth before I got a game over screen. I didn't see that croc comin'.  Not at all.   I don't think I've ever had such a girly shriek leave me playing a video game.

I'm still currently playing Kingdoms of Amalur. Man it's a pretty big game. I'm only like a 3rd of the world in, though I think it's wanting me to be dashing across places since many of my new quests are several zones away. It used to be each new quest was in the next zone over, slowly leading you across the map.

 

Pretty much my only grievance with the game is my fighting seems slower than enemies (allowing them to interrupt my attacks, but I rarely have chance to block or dodge theirs), and the menu system is horribad.

Played through some of it and plan to get back to it soon.

 

Just played through episode 2 of wolf among us. Pretty fun, if you like that sort of game. Getting to be able to recognize the telltale voice acting crew pretty quickly, though. Never realized that Clementine was actually voiced by a woman in her 30's; she also voices Toad Junior and Beauty TWAU.

Terraria is consuming me. I have defeated the King Slime, Eater of Worlds, Eye of Cthulhu, and Skeletron. Which I think means the Wall of Flesh is next. Last night I combined the Light's Bane, Muramasa, Blade of Grass, and Fiery Greatsword (man that hellstone was a pain to mine), and got the Night's Edge, which is the best sword pre-hardmore, apparently. I was thinking of trying to obtain the Molten armor but on console it requires a lot more hellstone to create. :-\

I'm playing Dungeon Keeper 2. Pretty fun, think I'm a fair way through it but the map ain't exactly straight forward. I don't remember getting this far before, though it's been an age since I played it due to incompatibilities (even took GoG a fair while to eventually patch it to actually run beyond the Bullfrog logo*). Pretty much only issue is being kinda old it's 4:3 only so lose half the screen, some old-fashioned controls too but only really applies to using Possess spell.

 

 

*Which is kinda bullshit given that's their supposed USP...or at least was, they seem to be jumping on the new indie game bandwagon at the moment.

It's pretty awesome on the iPad. Definitely the best version.

I get the hate for the new character sprites, but Ive honestly already got used to them. screenshots are just really offputting, but once you play the game and you see them animated, it's not a big deal. Id even say it's for the better since they were remade by the original artist. That's not something that happens every day.

The weirdest thing(and Ive always noticed this) is how people are complaining that they look too different to be in the game, that they're too bright and stick out compared to the rest of the game. But the entire game is inconsistent visually. All the 2D Final Fantasies are. In one battle you could be fighting a really large realistically proportioned Kefka and in the next you could be fighting chibi Kefka. Whenever people fall off a cliff, get hit, or do anything outside of running or walking, they almost always use the wrong animation. They didnt animated the characters to do so much and it looks off as hell. The magic spells outside off battle look way different than in battle. It doesn't look good, but it kind of becomes it's charm. The game was amazing for 1993. It mostly still is, but its not to be taken so seriously. People need to chill and enjoy it.

 

I also dont understand the $16 hate. $20? Id understand that. The fucked up part is if it came out on consoles, $20 would be no problem for the people that are bitching.

 

Blah. Im enjoying it. Its a great remake.

Isn't that the one where they made the game way harder, jacked up all the shop prices, and took out half the save points to encourage you to buy items/money/revives through the microtransaction store?  Doesn't that justify hate?

I haven't heard that, but that would certainly justify the hate. I'd definitely pick this up on console or handheld (without microtransactions, of course) but I just don't want to control characters without an actual d-pad. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like this. I don't understand why Square would leave so much money on the table by not porting this to PlayStation (crossbuy!) or 3DS. Surely porting a 2D sprite based game wouldn't be a big challenge for a company Square Enix's size?

It's been out on PS Store for ages (at least in UK)

https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-gb/games/final-fantasy-vi/cid=EP0082-NPEF00157_00-GFINALFANT000001

 

(Where it's also £8/$13 making it £3 less than on mobile)

I agree, just be sure to direct your hate at Namco rather than Square.

 

Oh, yeah, good point. I didn't pick up on that, for some reason. Probably doesn't help that Squeenix have also been kinda shitty on the mobile side of things. Seems they like overpricing their games and they certainly don't shy away from IAP-driven garbage products.

Link doesn't seem to work but I'm assuming that's the PSOne Classic version? Pretty sure we got it over here as well and that version kinda runs like crap. I'd much rather a proper rerelease with better load times, adjusted aspect ratio and everything.
