The last game you beat,did you like it and what are you playing next?

[Kamakazie]

Just beat Hammerwatch! It was pretty fun! I would not have had as much fun if I were not playing 4p co-op with a few of my friends. The ending was underwhelming.

Just beat Outlast! It was okay. I didn't find it very scary and I thought the story kinda sucked.

NEXT UP: Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs!

King's Bounty - The Legend

Wonderful fun game in the HoMM style. Really had a blast with it.

Next up

King's Bounty Crossworlds - contains Armored Princess. So far I've noticed every little thing from The Legend that bother me has been fixed.

Dead Space 3 is not a good looking game. I really liked the first game, forced myself to finish the 2nd out of principle and feel I'll do the same with the 3rd. One of those games where I shut off my brain and plow through it.

I didn't think it was all that bad, I loved the weapons I built for myself and hated the cliff climbing jumping puzzles.

Beginning to work on my overly crowded backlog. Started with the A's .... Alan wake, good game, next: Alan wake american nightmare.

I really liked Alan Wake: American Nightmare. Sure it got a little repetitive but I loved the story(without getting into any spoilers), and I love when designers take chances.

I am having a ton of fun with Rogue Legacy. The cost of upgrades and equipment seems a little high in that it doesn't take too long before you feel like you're having to do a bunch of grinding, but if you're good you can still get 1 to 2k gold on each run and buy a new skill or equip each run. Still feels like I have a ton of runs where I'm not moving forward at all, but as something to play while you're watching football or something it's pretty great.

Also, the various traits are pretty great, particularly the ones that don't really affect gameplay. Dyslexia, for instance, just misspells basically all text windows and menus and such, colorblindness makes everything black and white for that one character, nostalgia makes everything yellow tinted and adds a grainy film filter, nearsightedness makes everything about half a screen away from you really blurry, etc.

Did a run recently with both vertigo (flips the entire game upside down) and ambilevous (cast spells out of your back instead of forwards) that was pretty fun while it lasted.

I want ROgue legacy pretty bad, but I'll wait till it hits a sale so I can focus on my current games. The little but I played was fun as heck.

Well, I have been playing minecraft, cooke clicker (if that can be called "playing"), and some Age of Empires 3.

Next up: Valdis Story: Abyssal City. It's the second kickstarter game that I've backed to come to fruition! Super excited for some hack and slash with it. Just have to find my controller adapter. (keyboard controls are painful.)

Just beat Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs! It was goddamn awful!

Do tell... money grab? Or something else?

[taggart6]

Just beat Saints Row 4. I had a blast with this game although I did feel it was a lot shorter then 3. A pretty solid sand box that I highly recommend if you enjoyed SR3 or Crackdown. In fact, that game is basically a comical version of crackdown.

Just beat Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs! It was goddamn awful!

I was so disappointed that I don't even want to write a comprehensive review describing why I was disappointed. Let me just use some bullet points:

- Not scary. The game has a few tense moments around the 2 hour to 2 hours, 30 minutes mark, but for the most part the game is...

- Boring. It's boring. You encounter threats for maybe 30 minutes of the entire game; the rest is walking through corridors, solving simple puzzles with awkward controls and 90% of the game is reading notes that fill in the story. Unfortunately...

- The story is predictable from the very start. Oh no, you have amnesia and you are being led by someone that sounds just like you and you are chasing after your children who are clearly not really there? I really wonder what's going on... It doesn't help that the notes you find early on clearly paint your character as a bad person. In the original Amnesia you at least spent more than half the game slowly learning that your character has done terrible things and maybe doesn't deserve to live anymore. In the original game there was also this constant threat both of the creatures that roamed the halls and this mysterious force whose presence is the whole reason you're in that mansion in the first place.
That said, it isn't really a bad horror story, it just isn't all that interesting. I think people who hadn't played the original game might have gotten more out of this one since they wouldn't be expecting the same sort of thing that we were presented with, but at the same time, the game is directly connected to the first one and unless you played that one, there is no way you're going to understand what's really going on.
I should also add that while your character's story is indeed very familiar, the story of the titular machine is definitely not. Again, not a bad horror story, I just didn't think it was all that interesting.

- This was created by a different designer/developer, and it shows. The game feels nothing like Amnesia or the Penumbra games that came before it. You no longer feel as though you are moving through a real place, but instead it feels like you are disjointedly moving from setpiece to setpiece just so you can read a story along the way. It feels incredibly lazy.

- EDIT: Forgot to add that there is no longer an inventory and no longer a sanity system. You never need to worry about being in the light to stay sane and you never need to worry about getting oil to fuel your lamp because your lamp never dies.

I feel that this would have been better as a book rather than a game.

EDIT: I did film myself playing the entire way through, so if you're interested in seeing the game as I saw it, you can find them on my YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/Kamakazie27.
