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?

Overwatch

I think that Overwatch is basically proof that Blizzard are gods of making lowpoly stuff look ridiculously good.

No Man's Sky

#9388 posted by JPL on 2016/08/13 17:23:46

Looks really impressive...

I wouldn't really call Overwatch lowpoly, but it's just proof that they are great designers and know how to create good looking yet well optimized games.
Maybe this will interest you :

I've been telling everyone ever since I first heard about the game, that No Man's Sky is just going to be another Spore. Turns out I was pretty much bang on.

Interesting Overwatch Writeup

Kinn, the first thing that came to mind when I saw no man's sky was spore :P

If it is anything like spore, it should be interesting for the first couple hours at least.

No Man's Sky

#9394 posted by Rick on 2016/08/14 16:41:15

Looks like a $10 game to me. Maybe. It really doesn't look like something I'd want to play at all.

#9395 posted by Kinn on 2016/08/14 16:49:47

Procedurally generated content is the biggest snake oil bullshit the games industry has ever seen.

There's a time and a place for it of course (minecraft uses it well) but 99% of the time, it just leads to crap.

Agreed. I wish this fad would die.

Good Games Based On Proc Gen

1. Isaac
2. Spelunky
3. ???

Rogue Legacy

#9398 posted by mjb on 2016/08/14 22:06:39

I found that to be a charming game and I think that follows the formula.

#9399 posted by Kinn on 2016/08/14 22:13:49

The trick is to search your soul and ask yourself whether those games are good because of proc gen or good in spite of proc gen.

Ziggurat is fps tho. Also Gillard looks promising

Enter The Gungeon

#9405 posted by ijed on 2016/08/15 17:51:12

Is Procedural and an excellent game as well.

It's like Isaac but not bloated and broken.

In Any Case

#9406 posted by ijed on 2016/08/15 18:22:32

This discussion boils down to the question:

"Do you like roguelikes?" Yes/No

Eldritch

#9407 posted by mjb on 2016/08/15 18:27:32

Comes to mind as well!

Fifth

#9408 posted by oh, that person on 2016/08/15 20:18:09

You need Isaac in your life.

One of Total Biscuit's more annoying videos.

#9411 posted by FifthElephant on 2016/08/15 22:30:40

Enter the Gungeon, I have this. It's ok. The starting guns are lame.

It's all well and good having a game with a billion guns but when you start with a pea shooter every time it gets boring as hell.

I have never really fancied playing Isaac. I probably have it on my steam pile of shame too.
