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. 

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. 

Is an awesome word.

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. 

You cold hearted fuckers are impossible to please. 

Looks good imo 

 

You warm-hearted fuckers have no taste! 

Retrofuturistic 1960s themed creepyness, style looks niceeee

Hard Reset: Extended Edition - 7.0. Alright but all a bit samey. Starting to forget it now actually, and I only played it a month ago.

Dead Island - 7.5. Clearly not built for solo play, with cinematics that show your team mates even though your not playing with them! The last 20% of the game became too hard for solo (due to escort missions) and really cunted me off. I had to get a trainer to continue. Enemies that skill up as you do makes it pointless bothering to gain xp. Melee was done fairly well though. Kind of like a melee borderlands but without the large scale.

PayDay: The Heist - Played the first level. Rubbish, with no point to even bother killing enemies because they just keep respawing. Looked average so I deleted it.

F.E.A.R. 3 - 7.5. Fun old style fps, but definitely weaker than Fear2. Shit all weapons (and only 2 at a time), limited enemy types, linear as hell levels. But still fun if that's what your into. A few tough battles too (not the final boss though).
