There was humour in it??

Ummmm okay then.

Also what Zwiffle said.

The combat was fun though. It's almost like the opposite of a polished turd - a gleaming solid core, drenched in an overwhelming amount of diarrhoea. 

I'll kill your dick. 

Would be mildly amusing par for the course if said in #terrafusion.

Between a couple of charismaless bellends in a game, meh. 

Yes ... #terrafusion is LOADED with charisma.

Left 4 Assassin's Island? Or Dying Creed? You decide:

90 minutes of gameplay, TBH after watching 9 mins of gameplay I'm pretty sold on it. Looks like it does what it says on the tin. 

Anyone here play Divinity II and it's expansion? I just got finished it and really enjoyed it. A good proper RPG with everything you want. Not the best around the time it was released, but worth playing. It was released in 2009 but updated in 2011 and merged with the expansion. Not quite as good as Dragon Age and Two Worlds II, and The Witcher had a better story as well, but probably better than the other fantasy rpg's around 2008-2010.

Only thing that really annoyed me was a lack of direction for quests, you really need a walkthrough for some parts.

The expansion is like a full game, 10+ hours, except I found there's just a few too many quests within the same pretty small area that takes up the whole game. Boss battle I could have done with my eyes shut I was so powerful, but then that's the satisfaction of rpgs isn't it.

Pretty easy 8/10.

For the love of God vondurp, please force them to have fully rebindable controls! 

there will be such thing 

Cos well-controllable 3rd person like they are describing sounds good (i.e. kinda normal combat controls rather than targetted) 

One of the best Kickstarter trailers in a while.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/strafegame/strafe

Hopefully the game is fun! 

Like it will be as utterly terrible as every other pseudo-old-skool shooter failure of recent years.

The trailer is pretty neat though. I'm sure the mainstream gaming press will like it! 

Yeah, cool trailer but that sort of game is super hard to actually get right. Many have tried and failed... 

definitely had to be shared on the quakeguy blog, Also the secret level which is like wolf3d in a luftrausers palette is awesome! 

Yeah, dunno about 1996 - that Strafe game looks to me (and I'm sure plays) more like a game from mid-2000s, but with an annoyingly self-aware "look! pixels!" aesthetic.

Unimpressed. 

I checked out their website before, good to see their kickstarter is up and running. Hope they actually finish, I'd be interested in it definitely.

The kickstarter video was too awesome. 

Intentionally recalls stuff like this:

http://retrovania-vgjunk.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/videogames-are-bad-for-you-according-to.html 

also, when I saw "randomly generated levels" in that video I thought "ah, great, no thinking level designers involved." 

But that's wrong. 

Heh, that's great. It also reminded me that words like "toughest" and "challenge", which were all over game ads in the 90s, are words that you will never see in modern game advertising*.

*Dark Souls is maybe the one exception. 

That is actually a very cool trailer. Got to laugh when they have concept art vs reality side-by-side and the concept art looks 100 times better than in-game.

Randomly generated levels... no thanks. 

You see it a lot in indie games actually. It's usually a keyword for 'Our levels are a bunch of instant deathspikes everywhere'

Anyway, Strafe looks like it could be okish in a mindless fun way, but it won't be some second coming of Quake. Certainly not with level design that is likely going to be a bunch of generic Doom rooms stuck together via algorithm. Leave that stuff for the dungeon crawlers please :( 

I was referring to not seeing 'tough' and 'challenge' in game ads. 

levels in hellgate london were random but still looked pretty cool
