Video Game General 3.0 - You know what should come back? Pre-rendered backgrounds!

Terrible segue :p, I’m still pissed at you for reminding me Galak-Z is not on PSV, like really? and then after announcing no PSV they announce a fucking mech mode with a fucking beam sword? ughhh that’s as crushing to my soul as when Contra and Ninja Gaiden 3DS were canceled. Yeah I been keeping me eye on Salt and Sanctuary for what like over a year maybe longer, I’m hype, but the art is…weird like sometimes I look at it and think how beautiful and soulsy it looks then other times I think it looks like dog shit especially the character models.

I’m pretty hype for this, but I’m even more hype for Death’s Gambit unfortunately neither is coming out this year it seems.

I wasn’t segueing, I was ignoring your post to talk about something else XP

Hey I’m just as bitter about no Vita Galak-Z as you are bro, don’t worry. Still gonna get hype for the PS4 version tho.

I actually don’t think the art style reminds me of Souls at all (and I like that), and so far I actually like the character models quite a bit, they have charm and look to them unlike anything else, it’s great imo. I have been purposefully ignoring Salt & Sanctuary until recently because I didn;t really like the Dishwasher Samurai games, and because it’s easier to wait for something to come out when I can manage to ignore it’s existence. I’ve only recently been looking into it because, as you posted, A German Spy has been showing the game off, so I can get a real good look at what it is like, and what I see makes me happy.

What I’ve seen of Deaths Gambit has turned me off to it honestly, it’s TOO much like a Souls game, I mean shit last time I saw it the HUD was almost a complete rip. There’s inspiration and then there is straight aping.

The other Indi-ish game (I dunno if it’s actually indi or not) is that 3D one where you are climbing a tower and everythings super polygonal. The games a Rogue Like with Souls-ish combat, but aside from the isolating aspect has a completely different atmosphere from Souls. Man I don;t remember the name of it, will have to try and find it.

Oline is whatever, but it’s still coo’. You took the challenge then got beat, and then started to talk about online doesn’t matter. You shouldn’t have taken the challenge if you’re getting this butt-hurt about it.

I remember people trying to lag me out in VF and I still got the W. Playing a game for as long as you have, you shouldn’t be losing to anyone with less experience, lag or no lag, offline or online.

EDIT: I’m taking it this discussion is done. Talked about games with co-workers. A couple of them tried to tell me Goldeneye is the best FPS ever, and the N64 wasn’t Nintendo’s worst system. I argued otherwise with facts. They were pretty pissed about it.

Virtual Boy was Nintendo’s worst system, but it was retconned from existence, so I guess you’re right.

Ehh, I would say they’ve been fairly open about it’s existence.

Oh yeah, I found the vid I made yesterday that shows just how ridiculously easy the “Gem of Ease” makes leveling in Diablo 3— (I wasn’t even aware of posting your vids from the “feed” elsewhere but here it is)


(*some notes–this level 1 was in Torment 4 difficulty on Act V…Gem of Ease was equipped on a level 70 legendary staff, along with “Infernal Helm” which grants an exp boost on top of the bonus one already gets for playing a “Torment” difficulty.
*Also, the on-screen notification of “You’ve reached level ___”… this is so fast that this notification is actually behind. Early on, I was already level 21 when the text was saying “You have reached level 8.” :o haha, and I hit level 30 by the time the message “You have reached level 10.” appears.)

haha, from level 1 to level 28 in about 1 minute. That gem might be the greatest “twink” item in the history of rpgs…at least out of things that are legitimate, non-modded items in a game. It is absolutely insane…and this is “only” a level 25 gem (*leveling the gem to 25 grants it the secondary power of lowering a weapon’s level requirement to 1, which then makes it into the ultimate speed-leveling tool for fresh characters)

Played Tetris Battle for the first time. I made it to the final boss Queen and was about to win.

She uses her Level 4.

I had to walk away for a moment.

Spoiler

If you don’t know about this game it was the inspiration for Spaera. Basically you play Tetris against an opponent while collecting these magic orbs that fall. The orbs give you powers depending on how many you have (max 4). Queen’s Level 4 clears her screen of ALL blocks.

Still won scrub. Had to do one hell of a comeback cause Queen is broken.

This game is really fun though.

If you want broken play against Martin in Spaera {insert Kappa here}

He is really good though, made me fear Rafael’s Level 1. He has also pulled off some crazy comebacks against me too. I love how balanced the game is, and glad it’s been gaining popularity this past month since EVO. Now the twitch channel chat is active too.

WoW forums going crazy with " No Fly/Fly threads "

This is 2015 online is God.

Hey so are they not putting Half Genie Hero on the 3DS whenever the fuck that comes out? I thought it was out already and went to get it off the estore and it wasnt there. Googled it seeing that it was delayed, but wikipedia doesnt have it listed as supporting 3DS, though it will be on Vita and main consoles

I’ve never heard it coming to 3DS, i remember the last one being Pirates Curse.

I do think this series has a bit that Kingdom Hearts problem in that it’s spread out over a few too many systems, makes them all a bit harder to play. If i remember tho almost all them will be Steam available eventually so that should help a lot.

So you’re saying the isometric ARPG dungeon crawler is nothing like Diablo because it has better art and game play than Diablo?

Anyways more Jotun footage for anyone interested, never heard of this game until I googled Gamescom indie games a few days ago, but wow in the oversaturaged genre of ARPGs this instantly shot to nearly the top of my want list, PSV release please.

The engine Half-Genie Hero was made on isn’t supported by 3DS, and 3DS can’t handle th HD graphics anyways, it was stated early in the kickstarter that since Half-Genie Hero wasn’t coming to 3DS, they would make it up to the fans by giving them Pirate’s Curse.

Yea thats not what i meant, my phone fucked it all up, i just fixed it.

Wasnt half genie being done in sprites? couldve sworn it was, I wasnt following it closely though. I was just in a “fuck it lets buy a game” kinda mood

Nah you’re thinking of Pirate’s Curse, which used to be a 3DS exclusive but is now on Wii U and PC. It came out last year.

Half Genie is HD, was kickstarted, and hasn’t been released yet.

And the art for Half Genie Hero is hand drawn. It’s not sprites.
