Sly Reflex Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 I just finished Costume Quest. Took me 5 hours. Might do DLC Quest tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 That's DLC Quest done. I had some proper laughs at that, all of it is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 If you haven't done already, fire up the Hitman sniper game. It will seriously take you about 5 minutes and you can cross it off your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Aye, I'll look into it, although I'm going to be a bit busy for playing games tomorrow. I'm meeting a mate for a game of snooker and then we'll probably end up back here with a crate of Guinness and Netflix 'til late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Trine 2 is alright. I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole in SP though, it's the co-op that's saving it from being dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 For me, it's that in single player the puzzles would be so much harder and more frustrating. In our case, we often resort to the old "I'll make a box and fly you over to the other end" to get the job done. It does look fantastic though.

Sly Reflex Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 And throwing a hammer into a goblins face never gets old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 One level away from finishing. I can't wait to throw my hammer in that bitches face and cross this game off the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 That last post, we were 1 screen away from finishing, not even 5 minutes of gameplay. We did the DLC as well. It was as long as some actual games. I'll pull a game out of the tub later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'm not sure I'm going to enjoy Frozen Synapse. I just did the tutorial and now I'm more confused as to what the game is about than I was before I even started playing. The tutorial asked me to do something complicated for a noob, then basically went "Ah fuck it, it doesn't matter anyway!" and moved on. If it's in the tutorial then it has to be important, right? Walk me through it step by step so I understand, don't just show me how it should have looked. We've not got off to a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Send me a game request, I need an excuse to play it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 How? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I think you need to have a separate friends list though I could be wrong. It's been a while but you set a game up and invite me in, then we do our turns whenever each if us can, like Chess over email. I presume my username is MrHendo though failing that just Hendo. There is a thread in the Games folder I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Since I didn't get on with Frozen Synapse it got FITB and another game got drawn out. Bit Trip Runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 I've gone from super complicated to super simple. You know what? I can't say I'm that enthralled with this game. You run, you jump, you die, you learn, you run, you just, you die, you learn. I feel no reward. It feels like I'm typing in the worlds longest phone number. When you spend the thick end of the level doing mundane stuff and the last few object in the level are the only thing catch you out, sending you all the way back to continue the mediocrity you've already mastered. It just makes my heart sink, sort of like when my gran tries to tell a joke and new people keep joining the conversation so it keeps getting reset until you've heard the lead up too many times to care what the punchline is.

Sly Reflex Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Yeah, this can fuck off. It's just not fun. It's not a test of skill, it's a test of memory. A test of memory where you get dicked at the end of everything you've achieved because it likes to pull the rug from out under your feet. I could understand if it did it in a Super Meat Boy kind of way because that's making you develop skills. This is just a glorified QTE that rejoices by being a total shit.

Sly Reflex Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Bad Hotel.I can't say I'm enthralled with it but it's OK. Probably plays better on a touch screen. It's a 10 minute timewaster while you're on the bus or something, nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'm done with Bad Hotel. It's not really at home on PC. It screams mobile game, and I'm not really into that sort of thing. It just does nothing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 I'm going to do a round up every 20 games played. Disappointments. There's been a few. Frozen Synapse and Cave Story+, neither game lived up to what I was expecting. I was sad Renegade Ops wouldn't run right, that game seemed like a lot of dumb fun. Surprises. Sleeping Dogs, Overlord, Operation Flashpoint, HOARD and RAGE. I knew that a lot of people rate some of these games, but I was pleasantly surprised by them. I think to summarise I'd probably deal out awards like this. Most fun was Sleeping Dogs. I actually think this title is way underrated, it's not a perfect game by any means, but it's a lot of fun and I think that's all that matters. Biggest disappointment goes to Cave Story+. Playing that game felt like work. Not cool. What have I learned elsewhere from the games I've played? I don't really like games made specifically for mobile on PC and that playing online on steam can get you called a "Fokken bitch!" Best game, it has to go to Super Meat Boy. It rarely puts a foot wrong. The music, the design, the handling, generally everything about that game is crafted to a point where I can't really find any major fault of it. I think it's a 10/10 game for sure, even though it's really fucking difficult and tries my patience. Worst game. Sherlock Holmes. The feeling I got when playing what little I played of that game is the same feeling I get when I'm made to endure some shite tv my really old relatives want to watch. That's the feeling of your soul being chinese water tortured. Next game out of the box is one I've started but not finished. It's Orcs Must Die. I've no idea how far I'm in to it. I might be able to pop it off before Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 I forgot how much fun the OMD games are. Obviously the 2nd one is better because it has co-op, but I still think the first one has its merits. The biggest thing is how the fusion of tower defence and action are balanced. It's the best in the genre by far. I hope the devs look into making another OMD sometime in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
