didn't realize this was coming out in Sept.
I hope the player character vo that was in the first trailer was simply for the trailer and wont be present in the game :/ I'm really looking forward to Routine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qj8g-bG_5c
Giants 2 anyone?? Presumably the pre-2000 graphics and detailing will be fixed. Giants was pretty damn fun, maybe this could work.... With the exception of quake map jams and the game I contracted on earlier this year, I have yet to purchase or play any game at all in 2015.
But I'm kind of intrigued by Dropsy. 2015 wasn't a good year for games, at least for me. I think the only games I bought that cost over $5 were Wolfenstein and Shadowrun Hong Kong, both of which I enjoyed.
I did buy a handful of older games from GOG that I'd been wanting to try, but couldn't really get interested in most of them. None were more than $3, so no problem. I sure hope Fallout 4 saves the year for me. Just the Steam games I've played and enjoyed this from this year:
Snakebird Axiom Verge Ori and The Blind Forest 868-HACK Crypt of the NecroDancer Cities: Skylines Kalimba Still Early Access, but own: Darkest Dungeon Besiege Not 2015, but I played them a lot this year: Hexcells Infinite Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (expansion in Oct!) Broken Age (The second half came out this year) Nuclear Throne (Early Access) Path of Exile (Got an expansion this year) (that's saying nothing of the tons of crazy amazing tiny/smaller games on itch.io or that have been made in game jams this year.)
And as far as big AAA games, I haven't played many this year, but the Witcher 3 was awesome.
Sure, all of the above, but I was commenting more on my slow disconnection from gaming, not on what 2015 has been like.
Because nothing comes out in the last quarter of the year.
I've been enjoying Blizzard's continued series of Diablo 3 patches, which I call "Oh God, Oh God, We're Sorry, You Were Right, We Were Wrong, Forget About Jay Wilson, He Can't Hurt You Anymore". Still nowhere near the original Diablo, but it's a lot more fun of a slashy action game than before. What you guys think of that new Star Wars game that will be out in mid-november 2015 ?
A few awesome previews : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwWLns7-xN8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXU5k4U8x20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg_ht2GfQJU A player testing the alpha version on Hoth, in Multiplayer mode : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43E0wPYZ3hQ A player testing the alpha version on Tatoo�ne, in SP mode : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bXkIH7kZfo Both first and third person views are available. From these previews, it's looking pretty awesome, and there are several common points with Quake3 in multiplayer mode. Star Wars is a BIT meh, but this looks like a superb representation of it. The style and vibes of the snow stuff is ace.
But... MP only can suck my dome inside out. That is all. Next! When I said 2015 wasn't a good year for games, I did qualify it by adding "at least for me".
There are some types of games I rarely even consider trying. Pretty much any 3rd person shooter/fighting game falls in that category, or any game that can be described as being "roguelike". Amnesia: The Dark Descent is free for the next 24hrs on Steam. Horror game, believe it was what started the current trend of first person horror games, and most weren't as good as it.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/57300/ Picked up the game after reading your post. I doubt I will play it through though, as I am usually too scared to finish horror games.
