Quoting: NyamiouThis game looks like "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons" which is a game I really liked and I think everyone should play.

A Windows-only game, unfortunately.

Quoting: KelsOh wow, Submerged might be headed to Linux? I'm totally in! I saw the trailer for this a few months back and it has that Ico vibe I've been wanting for ages now.

Not a Day One purchase though. Cradle taught me not to trust.

What's wrong with Cradle (apart from a tighter-than-it-should-be FOV)? I thought it was getting generally good feedback.

The FoV is a huge issue for me since I get motion sickness, and the devs have a pretty bad attitude about it. The fact that it's unplayable by a significant part of their audience is actually a pretty serious issue.

Would I make a good hunter? Perhaps, but just telling you wouldn't be enough. You might not believe me, so I will need to prove myself. And prove myself I shall. One day. One fateful day.

You won't feel a thing. But the hunt will be complete.

Ugh, here's the dev's response to someone asking if they can change FoV:

QuoteSorry. We set the optimal FOV that more conviniant for Cradle world.
You can not change FOV.

An answer like that suggests that they not only haven't put in an option to change it, they're actively resistant to doing so. My interest in the game has dropped considerably.

Quoting: GuestThe AI in this game is worse than shit.

Watching a gameplay video, I was amused at civilians who would run away from you for a short distance, then stop and wait for you to catch up. Not that any of the AIs were any smarter, so I guess they were normal in that sense. The only way to cope with a world of bugs, glitches, an increasingly annoying voiceover (seriously, dude is like an emo teenager from 1997) and takedowns that get boring after the third one is to totally shut your brain off I guess.

So for once we're going to get a buggy port with poor controller support that's actually faithful to the original in that regard. That's a fresh idea, at least.

Still think they should have had Tommy Wiseau do the voice though.

Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyWill it be as bad as their last game?

Hopefully it will, since I loved their last game. Plus, some of the ideas they're showing off at this early stage look really interesting, with the silhouette holograms and such.

Quoting: stssFor starters, they don't have to waste any money on supporting the game after it's finished.

Instead, the people who bought this will have wasted money. As someone invested in several FLOSS projects to make old games playable on modern systems and in a portable manner, I really don't like this.

Except the people who buy this know exactly what they're getting into, and the experience of playing a game with a definite shutoff is what they're playing it for. Nobody's getting ripped off here, the devs are absolutely up front about what the game is about and the players who like that concept are the ones who will buy in.

QuoteJust like I really don't like that idea of that one band (Wu-Tang Clan, IIRC) only selling a single copy of an album, withholding it from anybody else. Even though I really don't care about their music.

There are some interesting questions raised by this comment about feeling entitled to access to a creative product. "Withholding" is an interestingly entitled word in this context, don't you think?

Quoting: scaineYikes, this like like a terminal/retro version of Tales of Maj'Eyal. But having played ToME for over a hundred hours already, I can't see any attraction to stepping back through a time warp to play this. Try ToME for free from their website and if you're into rogue-likes, you'll no doubt end up sinking £5 for the expansion / full game.

Looks as deep as ToME though and a similarly long development story, so good luck to the developer.

I like ToME, but wow do those beginner dungeons get tedious when you have to repeat them with every single new character after you've got turned into paste by some arbitrary difficulty spike. I found it common to run into stuff out of your league in areas that should have been easy, with little indication where else to go as an alternative. Hell, I ran into a lv. 36 creature in Trollmire once, and I hadn't even gotten to the boss yet.

As to Caves of Qud, I've got it on my wishlist to keep an eye on it for now. Once it's out of EA I might pick it up. I love Brogue, so the oldschool graphic style doesn't phase me a bit.
