Styx On Offer...

Sorcerobe...
I love the big hat and long cloak sorcerer look (like orco or the black mage from FF)... this game looks neato -

Free playable demo of Strafe. Fixed level, meant for speed running. Gives a taste of the gameplay. The owl head is very strong when dealing with acid, but the mechanic of spilling blood over acid to neutralize it is fun.

That's a true work of art Shamb, the resemblance is uncanny

Trailers look great, but I have read a lot of complaints about the game... I am just wondering whether those are fair, and whether the game is worth its price
Any insights ?

Saw a gameplay video, looked 100% like a UTx mod, wouldn't even waste time watching another video since then, hth.

Hmm

Looked like they took L4D, stripped it down to Players vs Tank, and tried to make a game around it. I'm all for asymmetric gameplay, but I don't think it looks like it has legs to keep me interested for any length of time.
People seemed to mostly complain about how the game is designed to be a paid DLC catalyst, which publisher/developers both denied.

Haven't played it, but my hearsay accretion is that it seems fun for a day, and as soon as you run out of things to unlock you find yourself with nothing to care about.
Makes sense with all the above.

Do we have a word thread? I love me some words.
Perfectly cromulent use of the words there IMO.

Anyone tried this demo?
I just played it. It seems very true to the Warmachine world, the Warjacks are cool as is the Warcaster control. But it's a bit previous-gen, the camera is quite buggy, the selection is fiddly, and Warmachine vs. Warmachine combat seems very grindy...

Imagine if there was a similar thing with Quake where 3 other players play as the monsters, that'd be fun :)

Needs more atmosphere-focused, style-over-substance, side-scroller puzzle games like it needs a fat di....hang on, that does look really stylish and well-done...

Looks more art-driven than a car made out of paintbrushes.
