- nice! i was about to post it too.OP31
- it's almost unbeliveable to me how far graphics have come. Not just the graphics per se — the fucking scale of them!detritus
- 1 was great, looking forward to this onemoldero
- Read dead on the 360 was the most atmospheric, engrossing game I've ever played. I'll buy a new console just for this..set
- I really, reeaally need to find a way to retire before this game comes out. so much anticipation.SteveJobs
- i am all over this shitscarabin_net
- The ending of RDR was great.Milan

ooh, I never had the C64 as a kid and as a Speccy owner was always a bit jealous of the 'less logical', but much better colour palette it had.
...or is it just more landfill crap?
- Fuckit, I think I'll just get an accelerator for my old Amiga instead - new one for the A1200's coming out some time...
http://www.apollo-ac…detritus - good fun that. I was a speccy owner also. Often had envy for the C64 though however much I loved my little machine.fadein11
- not the greatest selection of games there. missing some of the best.fadein11
- Presumably you can load other files in, and those there are the licensed ones, but yeah - classics missing!detritus
- Had a C64 - loved the fuck out of it - amazing games - Microprose Soccer, Zamzara, Commando...face_melter
- green beret was good. and impossible mission. and didnt have a decent version of r-type? commando was cool alsofadein11
- But the standout titles here are Armalyte, Creatures, Cybernoid, and Hawkeye. Armalyte is a fucking amazing shooter.face_melter
- the fact it comes with a joystick is nice. thats the one thing that stops me ever playing emulators.fadein11
- Oh. The keyboard on this version is merely aesthetic.detritus
- unless a borrower :)fadein11

Cuphead is legit. Don't be fooled by the admittedly cutesy aesthetic - it's a run and gun shooter not unlike the original Contra on the NES and as such it is rock hard and you will die a fucking ton.
Hugely enjoyable though. The audio should get as much praise as the graphics - great use of vocal effects and music.
- i can't believe this piece of art is only $20. i'm glad they also have the soundtrack available for purchase...but still $20 for 4 years of work!? fuck....lvl_13
- Could you imagine working on something for so many years, to just sell it for $20? Ouch.CygnusZero4
- how is $20 bad if a 50,000 (low estimate) people buy itfadein11
- @Cyg, this is a small team of people. At this rate, these guys will have a nice payday from this game.section_014
- Im sure they will, its just crazy how much time was spent on it,CygnusZero4
- the detail in the animation is fucking ridiculous too. wish i had a consolejaylarson
- It's doing gangbusters, $20 is an instant buy for a lot of people.face_melter
- Cuphead is the true definition of art. I am loving it so much!Fabricio
- lol no one was fooled. it takes 5 seconds to see that the game is hard as hellCygnusZero4

Stardew Valley comes for the Switch today :)
It feels so perfect to imagine this game on a portable Nintendo, like it belongs there...!
A superb game, created by just one guy!- is this a farm work simulator?Milan
- Yeap, its has a bit more depth, with relationships and stuff.. but its sort of a homage to Harvest Moon.Fabricio
- My favourite game of the past several years... Totally belongs on iOS, etc.ideaist
- I played this last year. Good casual fun for a couple dozen hours at the very least. Might be worth a second playtheough in a couple years.monospaced

I've been completely sucked into factorio.shit is crae addictive, especially if you have anal retentive tendencies.

cant wait. this is my jam
- prophetone0
- wowprophetone
- something like "I can't imagine slaving my ass off for $20 a copy — cygnus"
Good for them!detritus - If it was on PS4 I'd have a copy tooprophetone
- yep det, my sentiments exactly.fadein11
- Well deserved. Hats off to these guys. For a team of like 10 dudes, that's gonna be a hell of a paycheck.section_014
- Yeah, what of a PS4 version? I guess Microsoft / Steam exclusive for the next bit?ideaist
- Happy for them

"Activision was granted a patent this month for a system it uses to convince people in multiplayer games to purchase items for a game through microtransactions.
The patent details how multiplayer matches are configured, specifically how players are selected to play with one another."
- I'm on a bit of a sabbatical from gaming at the moment, but I've tried to avoid Activision, EA and Ubisoft for years now. Rip-off overly-commercial bastards.detritus
- Thing is, right, loot boxes and microtransactions are very easy to ignore. When they become 'essential' for some game mechanics *then* they can get fucked.face_melter
- Requiring paid online for some games, like the new Gran Turismo, is the way more nefarious. You lose about two thirds of game without a PSN sub.face_melter
- Don't buy the next CODMilan

I recently read about a comparison between two versions of an old game converted to Mobile - Railroad Tycoon, or something. One had an all-in price of <£10 and Add on packs of around <£5 apiece. Less than £20 for the full game.
The other would cost £97 to have all the content, if you added up all of the microtransacted add-ons (wtf are they called again?)
Something very wrong with that industry.
- you mean layton?
https://kotaku.com/t…ArchitectofFate - No, Railroad Tycoon 2 for mobile - ie. not even an original game.
'DLC'! That's what I meant.detritus - I think the last Dead or Alive title had/has almost $1000 worth of DLC released inc. 5 or 6 season pass costume sets.face_melter
- Was the same with the new Dungeon Keeper on mobile.Nutter

I've quite a bit of gameplay from "The Evil Within 2" online. Looks really good, a open world horror game. Would be all over it if I had a PS4 or PC... or time.
Here is a gameplay trailer:

Need advice. I got new Xbox pre-ordered. My current TV is a (amazing) Panasonic 2007 plasma 1080p TV. If I get the new Xbox, I would want a new TV. I would get a LG C7 65 inch OLED. We are looking at about $3500 for both.
Can I swing it? Yeah. Can I put $3500 to better use? For sure. $3500 to play video games. Be the responsible adult or say fuck it.
- Fuck it, you can't take it with you.elahon
- I like playing games but $3000 for a tv is crazy to me. Personally if i had 3k to burn id throw it into my project car. Still not a very responsible move hahaBabySnakes
- hope it's the xbox one x otherwise it's a waste of TVernexbcn
- that C7 (C6 is same picture, btw) is supposed to be insanely good ... go for it!monospaced
- The TV is not just for gaming, but its a by-product of the Xbox X. Doesn't make sense getting the X and not get a TV to support it. Still on the fence...ArmandoEstrada

- If your TV is amazing in your own words... why exactly do you need a new one again?set
- The new one has 4x resolution and a much better picture and featuresmonospaced

Assassins Creed: Origins this Friday, call me hyped!

oh my sweet hump assassin's creed launches tomorrow

How do you like the new Assassins Creed? I'm 10hrs in so far. I think it is a good game, first of all it's a looker. Absolutely gorgeous. Story is OK so far, side quests are not as dull as before but not the kind of Witcher III Storytelling. Lots and lots and lots of content, this one will keep me busy for a while.
OK optimized for PC, a few bugs here and there but nothing critical. Demands at least a High end PC from last generation or one of todays GPUs. I play with a 980, 32GB Ram and an i7 4790k @4.4ghz on 1440p and it's 50fps-ish.
I like it, but I wish it was a bit mature. Dialogues are a bit silly or "family friendly" while combat is brutal as hell. Characters have too little profile for my taste. Bit of a lack in overall storytelling, no real relationship to the characters is built, even if you can see they tried hard. Combat system and stealth is solid. Difficulty is well balanced on "Medium" for me.
This whole ingame shop thingy is way smaller than people hate about. It's a small boy at the market where you can do daily quests for good loot as well as buy some skins. Nothing too fancy or game changing.
- i was a little surprised actually by the use of cursing in the dialogue and NPCs with exposed breasts walking around...scarabin_net
- combat feels great, but for some reason i can't get parrying right in this game. is it really an ability i have to unlock?scarabin_net
- Parrying is somewhat irresponsive (hold L1) because there seems to be no parrying animation or position. He just does. I have yet to find out how to avoidmekk
- i love being able to run and climb forever again after dealing with stamina wheels in zelda botw :)scarabin_net
- getting hit by the charged attacks when the weapon turns red. I parry - nothing, I dodge - nothing (or get instantly hit by 2nd strike), I counter attack - no.mekk
- yeah i find myself having to hit square to dodge and then hope i can get in a few hits while they recover from their attackscarabin_net
- okay i'm dumb. started opening with a shield breaker before normal attacks and now my fights are a breezescarabin_net
- depends on the weapons you use. I play with breaker attack and then use some double dagger to make some quick dmg.mekk
- Tried this with a higher dmg sword and it's useless as it is too slow.mekk
