Voodoo Vince has such a cute design which made the voice chosen all the more odd. Game looks shockingly good at 4K tho
First gameplay of Micro Machines World Series coming in June. With added Brian Blessed & lootboxes.

Oh man Micromachines! It's such a good drinking game, at least the megadrive one playing 4 player where 1:st place drinks two gulps of beer and 2:nd place drink one, 3:rd and 4:th don't drink and this is whenever points are given out. So naturally those that are good at it get drunk fast so it ballances out and is quite intense.

Anyway finished Tides of Numenera, and the game was...boring?
Man, really, it was a while I didn't force myself to complete a game like I did in Numenera.
The fact is, while the main plot was vaguely interesting for me, how all the game plays is very boring. There are simply too many useless dialogues everywhere, and I firmly believe they are here just to artificially increase the game's lenght. While in Planescape reading each dialogue or bit of story was a joy, giving you a sense of completion toward characters, the surrounding world or your goal, in Numenera is just a waste of time 90% of the time.
The main plot is awfully short, and if you know what to do, you can complete the story in...4-5 hours?
There are just a bunch of locations, after the first big city, the game is very very linear until the Bloom, which has several screens that, excluding a couple of them, look all very similar.
There are a bunch of interesting sides, but the whole experience for me was just average, I give the game a 65/100.
Know I think the choice to actually cut stuff was for the best, just imagine those things going on for 60 hours instead of 20ish (I took 23 to complete the game with all the sides I found).

Man, Micromachines... All those memories of 4 player matches on the Mega Drive coming back to me. So much fun. Putting 2 additional controller ports on the cartridge was genius.
You could do some crazy stuff with cartridges, Sonic&Knuckles had the lock-on system, Virtua Racing had a chip to improve performance, this was so cool back then lol.

It's not impenetrable at all. You just have to be willing to sit with an individual puzzle for a bit while the solution comes to you.
I'd look over a couple gameplay reviews to see if you have the right temperament for the game.

I personally think it's one of the greatest puzzle games of all time, but I also understand that it's not for everyone.

Yeah, some of the texture work like on Vince himself is really detailed and looks nice at high resolutions. Shame I am experiencing the game speed issue while playing on a 144hz monitor; I'm running around like a maniac and jumping gaps requires really quick timing. I've tried adjusting the resolution and going into fullscreen/borderless and nothing has solved it, unfortunately, but glad they're aware of the issue. I ended up playing about an hour even with the messed up speed just because it looks so clean, but I've hit a point where the platforming is becoming precise enough I'll need to wait for the patch.

I have a 144hz monitor too but I'm playing it on my tv. Was capped at 24 fps while I had the monitor plugged in but luckily the borderline full screen option fixed it.
Game seems pretty charming although I don't like how you have to commit to a double jump immediately or it won't work. No hang time.
Tizoc

The double jump is something I noticed in various indie games that involve platforming. I think some other non-indie made platforms suffer from this as well.
Bizarre design decision IMO.

Yes there is a new set of books (Gambler Jack)
You can also find complete Carnelia in a certain place and Doll Knight to read (you can't collect this one)
Cold Steel has Red Moon Rose and Carnelia Reprint (you only need Red Moon Rose for the ultimate weapons)
Cold Steel 2 has Gambler Jack again and the sequel Gambler Jack 2 (only need 2 for the weapons)
Although both Cold Steels have a NPC where you can randomly buy the chapters you missed
The reprints also you usually just buy from certain stores instead of having to find random npcs with them too
hmm thanks, i guess i'll use a guide for gambler jack

I was going to say that it's the key redemption thing, but I'm now not sure if key redemptions affect place in the Top Seller lists.

They don't. The Top Sellers lists are revenue-based and Valve has no way of knowing how much a user paid for a key.
This is true

It's kind of amazing that the install dialog is still basically the same, just different color.
Art in Pillars 2 continues to come along very nicely. I love these really high fidelity 2D pre-renders.
Full post here for larger pictures and more info about how the levels are constructed.

Looks kinda similar to the nibelbeim mansion in FF7 doesn't it?

For some reason, I started thinking of Blackthorne. I remember thinking that the animation was so smooth, especially this:

Some of these games weren't even made in Japan...
I've waited ages for Backstage Pass to be a decent price.
despite what some weaboos might say, you don't actually have to make something in Japan for it to be considered anime.

I'll give you CoMI, but EfMI? Who'd want to play EfMI?
Yeah, it was bad enough, but still it would be the only missing title in the franchise.
Also it had some funny moments.

Those games would be far easier to remaster tho, but yeah even a re-release of MI3 would be cool.
Thing is Alan Young voices the scottish pirate character and he passed away
MI4 could go with a Grim Fandango treatment at least.

A "The Dig" remaster first please!
I love that game...
I love that game...
The Dig is awesome, the way it reproduces the feel of exploring an alien world is just amazing.
Ah, I really miss Lucas games. I couldn't find something similar, they are just unique.

Guys how does Commander Keen hold up? I've never played it but always been interested in it, and the bundle is only a couple of quid on Steam so I'll probably go for it.
