Func_Msgboard: Other PC Games Thread.

Posted by - on 2004/09/27 08:12:48

So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

Then you are missing out on a few more gems, if you have time...

Sure, I have some to spare. Would love to hear your recommendations.

Of Course You Already Played It But

No, I haven't. :/ It seems that you can't recommend it enough though. Looks like a Metroidvania, that's a big incentive - thanks, Spirit. Any others? Has anyone tried Lone Survivor, by the way? Looks interesting and stylish. I'm always up for survival horror.

If you play it, make sure to not play the later released "+" one. It is like a bad Quake remake/model/sound thing from all what I have seen.

Cave Story is one of the best games I know and it's free! Don't spoil yourself reading, just play it and have fun. Best with a gamepad!

#6534 posted by erc on 2013/04/08 21:40:05

Of course, I'll go for the original one -- YAY! A PSP port is available! :)

Some neat retro style games that don't cost a penny!

I loved the previous games, and FTL had some of the same feeling of exploration.

Many thanks! These two look great too, will try them in the near future. I remember playing 8bit killer from Locomalito guys, that was beautiful.

You maybe heard of Hotline Miami. Don't Miss that.
If you feel like some Roguelike I highly recommend DoomRL, thats a Doom based Roguelike, with tiles now.

Pineapple Smash Crew seems like fun, did not get to play it much but what I did was cool.

#6539 posted by erc on 2013/04/09 19:08:44

Killes, thanks for the recommendations, another sweet-looking two (Hotline Miami and PSC). I'll give them a try. I've had a round or two in DoomRL, back when it was ASCII based. It surely looks more compelling now.

Another one worth trying if you haven't: The Binding of Isaac. Quite fun and addictive (ask onetrueijed about it).

473 hours and counting. I planned on quitting once I hit the 400.0 mark but old habits die hard.

Hotline Miami

#6542 posted by Drew on 2013/04/10 04:02:43

is veritably amazing. So is Keyboard Drumset Fucking Werewolf, though in a different way.

#6543 posted by erc on 2013/04/11 16:33:25

Thanks guys. I'll add The Binding of Isaac and KDFW to my list. I plan on taking the ones with shorter campaigns first. Currently playing Cave Story (for the first time) and replaying Harmony of Dissonance on PSP (through a GBA emulator which works surprisingly perfect). Also had half an hour with Metroid: Zero Mission (via the same emulator).

Heh

#6544 posted by ijed on 2013/04/11 17:23:34

Isaac: 521 Hours, but I stopped playing some time ago.

Indie games not already mentioned;

Weird Worlds is indeed a great space exploration roguelike, it's nice to see they're working on the third version.

Another space explorer roguelike I can recommend is Faster Than Light.

Spelunky - an oldie but a goodie. Platformer roguelike player rape.

Desktop Dungeons - haven't looked at this in quite some time, but a limited space dungeon crawl roguelike where exploration regenerates you.

Cthulhu Saves the World - breath of fire style RPG.

And I'm probably forgetting many more.

Recommending Too Much...

#6545 posted by quakis on 2013/04/11 18:48:34

... can quickly become overwhelming! :D

#6546 posted by Spirit on 2013/04/11 18:58:54

Any idea how simular Metroid: Zero Mission is to Metroid: Fusion? Because I loved that (until some boss that made my emulator crawl).

#6547 posted by czg on 2013/04/11 19:40:58

Metroid Fusion is a lot more linear and directed, until the very end when you get to explore freely for some time.
There is an annoying NPC that you are forced to talk to inbetween setpieces.
Other than that the gameplay is still the same old good stuff, and there are some cool environments.

Thanks Honey, I Will Pirate It

Yeah....

#6549 posted by metlslime on 2013/04/11 20:56:56

i liked zero mission more, fusion forced too much linearity onto the player. But fusion is still pretty good in other respects.

ROFFLMAO

#6552 posted by RickyT33 on 2013/04/12 01:26:05

That shit is fuuuuuuucked up.

Looks good though. But how come Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon has nothing to do with fucking teenagers and cheesy mexican drug barons? It's like a TC, rather than DLC.....

W00T?!?!?
