I prefer Stuntman Seymour... :| But seriously, remember the last time they promised to make a game that appealed to both new and old gamers? The iOS game that everybody thought was rubbish? They don't seem to mention anything about learning from their mistakes from the iOS game. Modern gamers won't tolerate limited lives but old shcool ones won't be happy if you just can't die. Maybe a checkpoint system? I wish they gave more info... Also, goddamit, why do all the cool Kickstarters happen at the same time?

I remember that game, guess what happens when you kick a bucket? Oh, that reminds of a text adventure called Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It where every solution was a pun of some sort of wordplay.

Ha, I was going to give the monkey wrench puzzle as an example, but thought it was too "logical" to be valid. I'm not sure I'm capable of explaining the difference between a puzzle that is simply absurd and one that falls in the toon logic area. There are puzzles that don't make sense, but someone in the game will tell us to do it "Put this blue leaf on the rotten stump to open the cave". Why would a leaf open a cave? It doesn't make sense, but at least someone told you it would work. One of the more obvious examples of toon logic is the skunk puzzle in Day of the Tentacle, you practically have to do the same thing you see in a Pepe Le Pew cartoon. Frankly, the whole game is toon logic to me. A hammer for left handed people? Why not? Washing a car to make it rain? So obvious! People can't see you through your obvious tentacle disguise? But of course! Now that you mention it, whenever I see people complaining about puzzles, they seem to be "toon logic" puzzles in serious games, like the infamous cat stache one. Some are really non-nonsensical, but sometimes there is a method to their madness.

Man, I had completely forgotten Molyneux was the one who promised he'd make a game that made us cry, is it poetic justice that some people from Idle Thumbs cast did this with Walking Dead?

Well, I think it's all down to the AI whether the escort or stalking mission will suck, Yorda was useless, but the enemies you encountered was so weak you took them down with a damn stick, so it wasn't that bad. In RE 4 it was like in Ico where they just slowly drag her away, which is much less frustrating that killing the escorted. I think the girl in Enslaved actually knew how to fight but simply wasn't as good as you? I've been thinking it about and I've done a lot of more escort mission that I thought I did, I only remember the bad ones more easily. As for stalking missions, I don't remember that many, Retro City Rampage had one which tried to make it funny by saying how boring they were and forced you to drink coffee every few seconds to stay away, which make the mission as annoying as he claimed them to be. It's like in that Eat Lead game were they say "Hey, doesn't this suck in games?" and does it anyway. *shrugs*

Yes! Share the despair with your friends and family, the perfect Thanksgiving gift! (I have no idea if you get gifts on Thanksgiving)

I have no idea, maybe some admin didn't like people talking about games that already have their own thread? I always thought this thread was better for games that probably should not get their own thread. :|

Frankly, I'd rather have the next season not be connected as directly to the first season, I just hope they take another angle what ever they choose and not another "protector to trainer to protected" arc.

Damn it, I'm gonna miss that thread, it was supposed to be for "that game you got in a bundle and doesn't seem interesting or popular enough to get it's own thread, but you'd at least like to say a word or two about it", not "that game that has three threads and everybody can't stop talking about". *shrugs* Then again, maybe we don't have as many threads about games because of it. (Would it be wrong to start a "Relatively shitty/boring/unpopular games you've beaten that don't deserve their own thread" thread? I'll shut up about it now.) Anyway, HUZZAH! If they are going to make another Walking Dead game, I'm going to start eating comfort food now, just to make it through the game with a case of terminal sadness. And I'm probably the only person who liked the Jurassic Park game? Then again, I love Dragon's Lair style games. Don't they still have the license to Fable and half the Sierra and Lucasart's games? EXCITEMENT!?!

Telltale would have made a mint if they sold comfort food for all those who completed the game... Speaking of which, I mentioned how the game made me feel on Twitter and the one tweet in which I say weep like a baby is the one that Telltale retweets and then half the internet after that... I even gained a few followers do to my very unmanly tears, huzzah?

Either way, this is my game of the year... Maybe even game of the lustrum? So may say this is barely a game, but if this is what you have to do to make us care as much? Then I'm fine with more games like this.

It's out tomorrow, right? EXCITEMENT!

I'm still watching all the videos... I want the game with Sandwich planet to happen, I want them ALL to happen! So let me get this straight, the more money you give the more games you can vote on?

Excitement! Kaiju Piledriver is a thing I need... for reasons.

The Walking Dead is my Game of the Year, it's just amazing in it's story telling. I've already rambled about it enough in it's own thread. Worst / most disappointing game? I'm going to have to with Lucius, I've probably played worse, but this one was the most disappointing, it had so much potential!

I beat Anna, which is pretty short and pretty bad in a slightly humorous way? None of the puzzles make sense, which doesn't make it that bad since the game is so small you can do things at random and eventually get it right, but... there are only clues for ONE puzzle. I have no idea why I had to do the rest of the stuff. The story makes as much sense as the puzzles, but the game claims to have a special "gimmick", the game know what you look at and if you "obsess" over an item too much by looking at it a lot, you'll see it everywhere? I think it might have happened in this game, but I don't see it making the game scarier. Speaking of scary, the jump scare will happen even if you aren't looking at them. Also, you have to log in to play the game.... Yeah, you can skip this one.

GOTY? Just play it, it's the kind of game the more that shouldn't be spoiled, but experienced....

It might be worse than any other open world game out there, but I still think it's id Software's best game in decades. *shrugs* Maybe they hate the game because it gave them the ruddest slapping? ;P

I don't really see why, the enemy AI was the best I've seen. Not only did they respond differently depending on where you shot them, but they actually fall back when they see they are losing the battle. All this was new to me. But I guess it's because it feels like half an open world game? Either you take it as a good shooter in a open world-ish environment or a mediocre open world game with very good combat.

I remember liking the demo, but I never saw the game for sale... so I forgot about it. I just beat John Goodman's Rage and I really enjoyed it, once again, the racing, vehicle part were actually fun, I got first place in every race in the first town and nearly all in the second (I hate the "rally races") and I really enjoyed the shooting even. It suffers from the "Goddammit, I shot you 20 times in the head, why are you still alive?!" syndrome, but I still enjoyed it a lot. The thing is... I have a feeling it was rushed? The second area has so few missions and everything happens so quickly it's kinda strange? It's rather long for just an FPS, but rather short for a sandbox game. Still, it's the first id Software game I've enjoyed since Doom II. PS: Am I getting better at driving or are sandbox games being more sensible with the driving sections?

I beat Lucius, which is a weird game, they tried to push it as a horror adventure game, but it's almost like Hitman? It's Omen, the game. You have to kill people and nobody can suspect you, you have demonic powers that are very limited, nobody can see you use them and there is no liberty in how to kill your victim. The characters AI is terrible, many times I've had to restart a mission because the victim went gaga and took two steps towards it's normal route and two steps towards where you're supposed to kill them. To make things worse, there are stealth sections, it's the only time you can use the mind wipe power, well, actually you only use in ONE mission which makes it's too easy, yet with it's controls it's still frustrating. To make things EVEN WORSE, there are combat sections! It's the only time you can use a special attack power, which is so terrible to use with the aiming system. Which is why in the finale you have to fight two enemies at the same time... I only won because the enemy got stuck... I'd stay away from this, the normal section are kinda fun and interesting, but the action ones are dreadful. BasketBelle is obviously a basketball based game, but an artsy indie one. It's mostly a puzzle platform game with basketball rules. And the story is about a kid who bonds with her sister through this sport and who is kidnapped by some monsters who you defeat with... magical basketball powers? Oh and BTW, the rest are the Dark Fall games... aren't scary at all, the second is more like Myst, not only in it's puzzles, but it has too many colorful not scary at all parts and the third has goofy looking ghosts and a dumb plot.
