What? Why would it mean either of those things? And Valve released the Vive in 2016, and the Index half a year ago. If they were gonna release a bunch of games to support sales of their headsets, they've missed the bus on that one.

Ok, El Camino is out and also I've recently watched a pile of Netflix's Orignal movies for the year. Time for my fall-time BEST OF list. Best Netflix Original Movies 2019 (so far) 1. Always Be My Maybe Hilarious and heartwarming, even if it the jokes do dry up in the final act and it pretty much becomes a straight drama. Also, that mid-movie cameo puts all other movie-cameos to shame. 2. El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie Really well put-together, with some great performances. Felt very episodic, like 3 or 4 episodes of the show mashed into a movie, which is kinda appropriate. Somehow it never really engrossed me 100%, but I also feel like I wanna watch it again. 3. Between Two Ferns: The Movie A bit uneven, but I enjoyed it enough to watch it twice. Honestly, the end credits are the most hilarious part. 4. Walk. Ride. Rodeo. A real-life story about a competitive rodeo rider who, after a paralyzing accident, is determined to not only walk, but get back in the saddle again. It's starts out very sacharine, but manages to bring the feels when shit hits the fan. Overall the structure is kinda your classic underdog sports movie, but I found it very captivating. 5. Fyre: The Greatest Party that Never Happened This was pretty crazy, huh? Also pretty good: Triple Frontier In The Tall Grass In The Shadow Of The Moon Meh: Velvet Buzzsaw Wine Country Polar The Highwaymen See You Yesterday The Wandering Earth Shaft Still to come: Dolemite Is My Name The Irishman

Link doesn't work! Here, I'll embed it for ya: I played a bit of this at your stand at Gamescom, and, yeah, it's good stuff. Gameplay was very Frozen Synapse-y. Looking forward to the release!

Ok, wow, this is really something. It certainly requires a lot of patience to master the controls and make any progress, but once you get a hang of it, climbing the tricking sections feels very tense and rewarding. Also, that sequence with the treasure, holy shit what a plot twist.

Hey not bad! The procedural generation is indeed impressive, and lightning fast! If you're still updating it, here's some simple improvements I'd like to see(tho I'm sure these are already on your to-do list): -Cursor.visible = false; -Sun (directional light with realtime shadows) -Fog(I usually dont like it, but in this case it could really add to the mystery of exploring these unknown streets) -bigger play area.

Speaking of glitches, I tried lifting a table while I was on top of it, and...

Yup, sent as PM!

Good stuff as usual, Atte!

I'm just getting a black screen when I try running this!

The description doesn't lie. That was mellow AND mildly interactive! The only criticism I would offer is that the jellyfish can be seen spawning in at the bottom of the screen (WebGL version). Surely it'd be better if they spawned in off-screen and then swam in?

Hah, this looks great.

Nice, I was hoping someone would do a curling game. Welcome to the forums, sonny!

Ooooh, nice! When I saw this as one of the recomendations I was thinking it could make for a cool Bernband-alike. This is kinda different, but very neat. Looking forward to seeing how the proc gen turns out.

I wouldn't poo-poo that, it's useful stuff. There's ~700 games coming out on Steam every month, someone's gotta wade through all the crap to find the things worth paying attention to.

I probably won't be taking part, but Nick's recommendations look like they could make for some great games.

I agree with most of what you're saying, but I don't feel like Polygon's ratio of clickbait-to-good-stuff has changed that much over the years. It's always been like this. I take it just as part of the sad reality of trying to run a website funded by ads. Ben Kuchera's output is always the worst of it tho, and I wish they'd just get rid of him. I rarely make my way over to Kotaku, but I do like their youtube stuff. Particularly Highlight Reel and anything by Tim Rogers.

Yeah TNO was great, play it! TNC does have an extensive recap at the start, but I'd say you'll appreciate some of the character stuff more if you've played the first one.

Yeah I also picked it up when it was cheap. Got it until mid-September for just 2€. I'm on PC. I've played: Void Bastards - loved it. My GOTY so far. Wolfenstein 2 - I'm playing this right now. Liking it a lot. The writing maybe isn't great, but it sure isn't boring either. Some of the most insane plot-developments I've experienced in a game in a while. Sea of Thieves - I've done a couple sessions with a buddy, and I like it a lot, especially the sailing. Forza Horizon 4 - played a bunch of this when I tried the gamepass briefly last year. Wonderful driving physics. Also poked a bit at Metro Exodus, Gears 4, State of Decay 2, and Recoil, but they didn't do much for me. Next I'm gonna play The Messenger and Astroneer. Maybe I'll give Vampyr a go too.

Y'all still playin GAMES? Ya better believe I'm playing games. Here's some I've finished recently. Void Bastards - Probably my GOTY so far. Looks and plays great. Darkly funny. Lots of clever design choices. Feels kinda like Teleglitch or Strafe, so if you liked those, play this. American Fugitive - Like a modernized, rural, GTA 1. Great vehicle handling and "running from the law"-mechanics. Kinda likeable characters but forgettable story. I liked it tho! Clam Man - In this adventure game you play as a clam man named Clam Man who gets fired from his job at the mayonayse factory and then begins uncovering a vast conspiracy. It's good! Also finished since my last post: Return of the Obra Dinn, Titanfall 2, RDR2, A Short Hike, Momodora, COD:MW Remastered, Tacoma, and Beat Saber. ALL GOOD!

Only listenened to ep 3 yet, but I like this! Fave recent trailer trend: letting one scene play out for most of it. IT 2, like you mentioned, but also Frozen 2 did this. In both cases I really like the part where it's just the one scene, and then kinda loose interest once it gets more generic trailery after that. Worst recent trailer trend: the 5 second mini-trailer for the trailer at the start of the trailer in every recent trailer. I get why it's there, with youtube letting you skip after 5 seconds and all, but I still don't like it.

Yeah, Skyrim's requirements are very low though. Might wanna look at the requirements of some more modern games as well, in case you're planning on playing any games released this year or last.

The biggest advantage of PC VR for me is that it's more open. Bigger game library, free games from itch.io, the chance to make my own VR games, use it for 3D modelling, and of course mod support. In the case of Beat Saber, the custom songs mod has extended the game's longevity HEAPS.

Just like that, there's 3 new VR headsets just over the horizon. Thoughts. Oculus Quest: 449€ for 64GB version, 549€ for 128GB, ships: May 22 I think the Quest might be kind of a BIG DEAL. Self-contained, easy to use device with lots of great games. If any of these devices are going to take VR mainstream, this is the one. Oculus Rift S: 449€, ships: May 22 I'm not so sure about this one. A step forward from Rift in some ways, a step back in others. No external sensors means less cables and setup, but it might also mean less accurate tracking, especially when you swing your arms behind your back. Valve Index: 1079€, ships: latest June 28th If Valve are ever gonna release one of those 3 BIG VR TITLES they've been talking about, now would be the time. Not about to shell out of for this one, even though it looks like a decent step forward, but I look forward to seeing what new software comes along with it.

This is turning into the Horizon Zero Dawn pile-on thread, but yeah I didn't like the characters either. Most of all Aloy herself. She's just too perfect. She's supposed to be this outcast but in all her interactions with people she's the smartest and most emotionally intelligent person in the room. A character with no flaws is just boring as hell. Even tho I didn't like GoW, at least they made Kratos feel like a real person, with real flaws. The moment that endeared me most to him wasn't any of the badass fight scenes he's in, but when he tells a story to his son.

Finished the main story last Thursday and the epilogue a few days later. Initially a bit disappointed that the epilogue (or the epilogue to the epilogue, for that matter) didn't feature Anyway, after that disappointment wore off I really enjoyed the epilogue, perhaps even more than the main story. It's much more focused and straightforward. Anyway, after the end credits rolled I wanted to let our hero settle down and take it easy, but I wasn't prepared to give up on my ramblin' ways, so I booted up the Red Dead Online, and thus begun... The Adventures of Loretta (and Lil' Horsey) So far I'm really enjoying Online, tho I don't interact with other players much, I'm mostly just treating it as an extension of the SP, doing missions on my own. The story isn't overlapping with the RDR2 story in any way I've noticed, but I was glad to see some familiar faces from RDR1 that don't show up in the main story.
