I had to make a conscious choice to stop playing Nuclear Throne years ago. You can never be done with this game, haha.

I beat Evil West and Heartless & Dreadful this week. Fun games I will revisit for sure, especially Evil West. What a blast. Most fun I’ve ever had bashing through hordes of vampires/monsters.

That said, both had moments I’d take out if I could. Evil West had these mundane puzzle segments that just filled time in between enemy encounters, and, similarly, Heartless & Dreadful had tedious platforming segments I didn’t enjoy.

Combat is king though, and combat was good in Heartless & Dreadful and awesome in Evil West.

I hope we get Evil West 2 at some point.

Currently playing through El Shaddai and it’s pretty fun. I love the no HUD commitment. Your health bar is basically your armor: the more you get hit, the more pieces you lose. Same as your enemies.

You also could knock enemies down and steal their weapons, which weakens them greatly and forces you to cycle through weapons during combat encounters, which I like a lot.

I’m hoping to finish it on the weekend and start Lost Judgment afterwards, which I’m worried I may not fully enjoy.

I bought it because of the combat footage and praise for the combat system I’ve been seeing everywhere, but I have no interest in stealth missions, open world quests, dialogue trees or anything RPG, so IDK if combat will be enough for me to beat it and I may refund if I feel I know for sure I won’t like it within the refund window.

Too much work to do that, so very unlikely to happen. Our best bet is pressure on Sony forces them to remove DRM. ASW have to do what’s right and stand up for their reputation and customer base here. They’re the sole developers on this and RN they look really bad.

Sony won’t give a fuck because their priority is PlayStation, but ASW have always had a sizable, PC only community they’re currently letting down and eroding their trust. They need to push for meaningful action.

Man, fuck Sony. They won’t do it, but I hope ASW have the balls to throw them under the bus when questioned over this. I’ll even take a rogue dev.

Take a developer who’s known for making some of the best PC ports in the genre and spit out this shit. Fucking morons.

No multiplayer, and no regional pricing. Also… no games, which’s not their fault to be fair, but like 90% of my library is not on GOG.

I was curious what the actual percentage is after leaving this comment so I counted: 80% of my Steam library is not on GOG.

Only a browser extension, AFAIK. I mainly use it to see historical lows. It’s nice to open the game’s Steam page in the browser and see the current price vs. the historical low side by side; speeds up decision making.

I remember unlocking at least 2. Unlocking powers did not stop shooting from being part of the gameplay.

TBH, even though I’ve never paid more than $20 for a game, I’d probably be willing to do so if it’s a physical release considering I’ll be displaying it somewhere, which’s added value that digital games lack.

No more than $20 for digital though. I don’t care what the game is or how much money I have, I’m happy to replay my favorite games and wait.

If you’re selling for more than $20, you’re probably a relatively big publisher anyway, and I don’t feel obligated to pay what you’re asking, or, in many cases, fund your mismanagement/feed your greed.

No, I know. Late game footage is why I picked it up. I just don’t wanna suffer for at least half the campaign to get to the Jean Grey stuff at the end.

I wish the game was comfortable letting shooting take a backseat like Vanquish, Gungrave, Evil West, or Wanted: Dead did.

I tried it and refunded because of the shooting. I hate aiming. I haven’t tried the aim assist though. Anyone knows if the aim assist is good? I just wanna play it like action game, not a 3rd person shooter.

I love that the sequel took aiming out altogether. Such an intrusive idea on an otherwise good action game with a lot of potential.

Wow, apparently aim assist and aim snap are broken in this game, nevermind then.
