I remember liking it, then going online and getting harassed to "cyber" with other people to the point that I didn't want to ever look at the game again.


yeah, i could see that. but that's why i don't play games online. (that, and being talentless.

the single player is good for something that's nearly a decade old. now i can see where titan quest refined everything to a very sharp point; of course, they also took a tremendous amount of the setting and interface, too.

the nes afforded arcade developers the chance to expand their titles into longer home game adventures: bionic command, for example. BUT NO ONE TOLD ME THEY DID IT TO LEGEND OF KAGE.

DEMON SWORD is FUCKING FANTASTIC. it has everything kage needed: boss fights where you and your opponent bound around the area in MIGHTY LEAPS and lots more platforms in the trees so it's faster and easier to leap FROM TREE TO TREE.

also i've been playing star luster, which is that threedee space battle game everyone was making for every platform back in the day: star raiders, space spartans, all those. star luster is the famicom version, by namco, but it actually holds up pretty well, moreso than its contemporaries. plus there's an interior design code.

It's Team Fortress 2 free weekend as of this afternoon. I am hoping to both drink classy drinks and play the crazy game tonight, we shall see. It has been a while since I played an online first-person shooter, and I am not that good at them so some mental lubricant may even out the experience just enough.

Steam has been good to me lately, though. Everyday Shooter is so much fun, and I think I'm going to take advantage of the sale on Audiosurf (five bucks!) to knock next semester's college GPA down a half a point.

Gradius III & IV.


Good lord they're hard. More strategy than I'm used to in a shooter.

Gradius III is much prettier. I haven't made it past the bubble level yet, but the manual has a preview of all the stages. I can't wait for Moai! Wish I could use my options and lasers at the same time.

Chrono Trigger. I don't play many Dragon Quest / Final Fantasy-style RPGS, so I'm finding this a weird experience. It's basically like reading a comic book where you're expected to fill in almost every detail with your imagination. Or watching a really elaborate finger puppet show where you have to keep throwing beans at the puppeteer or he stops. I'm enjoying it, though!

If you ever see the Moai stage, you are a really, really good player.

(Gradius III is pretty insanely difficult)

You can't use your options and lasers at the same time?

What is this, a context sensitive button review? Rolling Eyes

Chronotrigger is a game I should love in theory, but in practice I always find myself getting bored pretty quickly and deciding to play something else. I'm not sure why. I think it may have something to do with a main character with no personality, stretches where nothing happens, feeling just too big for me to bother with, and being a jRPG (despite actually showing enemies coming).

Chrono Trigger never clicked with me either. I think it lacked a consistent scale- you're saving the world and traveling through time, but the world never feels bigger than a breadbox, and it's never populated by more than two bagels. I'd take Evermore over it any day.

I continue to find myself increasingly intolerant of any game with a grind, where progression is denoted solely by stats and equipment. So I sent back Dungeon Maker: Hunting Ground as soon as I got a whiff of item shops, and I'm guessing Soul Nomad will be making a similar trip as soon as I make it past the awful obligatory opening deluge of cutscenes and tutorials.

Meanwhile, picking up Mario Kart Wii again for the first time since it came out felt fulfilling, on the bikes especially, juggling the demands of tricks while maintaining wheel control.

In conclusion: Sloppy Analog Gaming Forever!

I'm awfully excited about Mirror's Edge, whenever that comes around. From the videos, I really like its implementation of spatial awareness, combining an FPS viewpoint with the need to think beyond horizontal action. I appreciate the way red "hint" objects seem to direct the flow of action without being a straight jacket; several times through the Leipzig video the player needed to turn away from the red to push off an adjacent/opposite object. It's something that'd be immediately obvious in a third person viewpoint, but here you're forced to read ahead and plot a course before you get there.

what's neat about demon sword: your goal is to reassemble the titular demon sword and slay the local demon lord. the blade is in three pieces; you start with just the hilt. every two stages, you claim another piece of the sword. your sword actually gets longer: the player's sprite changes. and your sword attack appropriately gains a longer range and becomes more useful.

Upon further research, I can. What exactly are lasers good for? I hope they do more damage, but I can't tell.


I can one credit to the 4th section of the bubble level, but I haven't seen the boss yet. It's amazing how if I mess up at the wrong moment it makes me totally vulnerable for every successive play-through until a game over. Game is stingy with its extra lives, too.

Gradius III is actually notorious for having sections that are impossible to clear if you die in the middle, so I wouldn't worry about it too much (also consider playing a different game, like the SNES version).

I can't tell if I really like The Last Guy or not from the demo. It seems like the type of game that might end up with more focus on memorization of enemy patterns than actually needing to adapt to situations.

Also, I've got a fantastic 46" HDTV, and I can't imagine the game being at all playable without it. People are TINY unless you zoom up close enough that you can't see oncoming demons, and the landscape is completely cluttered.

That's one of the things I like best about GV; I don't think there's a part in the game that you can't pass with a zero-upgrade Viper; it just becomes a different, far trickier game.

I've often gotten killed at full power at a boss, missed recapturing my Options, and gone on to beat the boss without losing another ship.

diablo 2 has taught me that "numbers go up" is a habit-forming genre, compelling beyond reason. i should know that by now, but i learn it over and over again.

I agree with you. Have you tried PixelJunk: Eden on it yet? The demo is quite long, I recommend it.

Dude, I just got pangs of disappointment when Gamefly announced they were sending me MGS4 next. Do I send it right back? The next thing in my queue is Boom Blox.

ok

I'm posting about last weekends' free Team Fortress2 thingy.

So frenetic!

A deep, slow tactics/strategy heavy version would be welcome.

That being said, I love the Sentry Guns.

They make the same noise as the one in Aliens.

Korean real version


I don't think I will buy it.

If I get around to getting Portal, then I'll get Orange Box, and TF2 by default.

Oh, you should keep the cube with you! It doesn't transmute anything unless you click the button, so you can use it as sort of a cubic bag for extra storage.

Charms don't count if you stuff them in there while you've got it on you though. Sad

i get the most mileage out of the cube in upgrading jewels, three of the same jewel of the same quality will give you the next step up in the same jewel.

Perfect skulls are the bread-and-butter of a barbarian, so keep any skulls you find to work those up. That's just my experience, though.. topazes are also nice, on higher difficulties when vampirism doesn't matter as much as pouring in as much extra damage as you can.

Apparently with certain rune combinations, a single perfect jewel, and a piece of basic equipment you can create some kind of super-special cube-only item that has some pretty sweet stats... I made a couple of suwayyah this way on my assassin and they were pretty sweet. I think I used a combo that involved perfect rubies and somehow got 40% vampirism, so my trap/shadow sin was practically unkillable (until I went to the Hell difficulty at level 40something, I started dying a lot there. Shadows or combo sins only plz, traps are pretty useless when shit gets really rough).

You can also add gem slots to items! The cube can only go up to three this way and I think you can't do it twice to the same item.

The cube is pretty awesome. If the horadric cube somehow had a baby with glados and shodan it would be the perfect machine. God complex, matronly instinct, and the ability to transmute damn near anything you want?

No way mang. Here's what you gotta do: root around and find some okay stuff, stuff you can buy in town at least, get a hireling. Then get back there, use the hireling to distract the boss while you find your corpse -- when you click on your corpse, all your shit will automagically be back in your inventory -- then portal out of there, put yer shit back on, if you didn't get everything, you can rinse and repeat.

I've done this multiple times and it's not nearly as hard as it seems.

Nah, it's a good game! I thought so, anyway. It's just not worth buying a PS3 only for this game.

I've owned this game for ages, but didn't really play it until the free weekend (because it would mean lots of players). I agree with what you say... it's just so fast paced, and the maps are so friggin' tight and small that actually playing tactifully and devising strategies seems sort of impossible. My biggest gripe is with the map design, since the character classes actually seem incredibly well balanced. Actually, I wouldn't say it's fast paced, but frenetic like you said... all the characters move at a reasonable speed! Not too slow and not too fast. It's just the map design I have qualms with.

I'd rather have a Quakeworld Team Fortress night because I would probably join in on that.

I'm finally done concentrating on one of my current two time-crunch projects. So... yeah. If there are no major communications problems, Team Fortress could be nifty.

There's also a playable demo to this slow-paced, kind of neat war game, Battlefield: Bad Company. David Hellman and I played that for a few hours, a while ago. I think I may get the real game soon!

Is that the one that kind of looks like Team Fortress 2?

You're thinking of Battlefield: Heroes, the upcoming "free" Battlefield spin-off.

Yeah, no. This is... interesting. I haven't played a lot of these first-person army shooter things, so I don't know how much is original, yet it's got some really nice touches to it. And excellent writing. Which is a recent trend that I hope is more than a trend.

The multiplayer mode is nice. Very slow-paced and methodical, which can turn into screaming and shooting and running around.

I know Battlefield is a big, ongoing series like Call of Duty. I don't know how this compares to the others, though. Only one I've played!

I understand this one in particular is pretty well-received...
