Are there any other hacks for the game that try and make it a little more challenging and balance things out? I know there's one, but it changes monsters around without documenting what it did and takes out a bunch of special weapons instead of trying to nerf them.
163449 No.16056689
Amid Evil - FPS where you use magical weapons ala Hexen. Supposedly the early access episodes are really good and it's almost out.
Sakuna of Rice and Ruin - With all the people mentioning it, it might not be that lesser known after all.
Nelo - Looked kind of like Warframe but singleplayer and good. It's most probably going to end up like Overgrowth with how slow development is but I really hope it's good.
Spire - Procgen FPS by the dustforce guys. There was some footage of wallrunning and some movement tech and it looked pretty fun. Unfortunately it's pretty hard to find info and I have no idea where they post development updates.
Project Stamina - A spiritual successor to gigantic. I never had a chance to play gigantic but a certain owl furfag made it look like it's going to scratch my Global Agenda itch and truth be told the footage I saw of Gigantic looked pretty good. I'm probably in for a disappointment but I've already gotten attached and then heartbroken by two Hirez games already so I don't care to be honest.

I skipped Dungeon Rats since it was pretty much a cash-in (they bought a bunch of assets they wanted to reuse), but AoD was the best RPG I've played in fucking ages. Tons of ways to beat the game, tons of dialogue options. You need to minmax builds but it's not too bad.
>Should I have hope for this? It seems to me like it's what nuCom originally wanted to be, an upgraded or modern version of X-COM. I remember a video a couple years back and it did interesting.openapoc when
Remember Gollop has been reworking the same gameplay ideas since Laser Squad. X-Com was a rework of Laser Squad, then he did Rebelstar which was more of a character based X-Com. I mean it's not going to be as good as X-Com obviously but I don't see why he would fuck it up now. He understands his own ideas

I can play those popular games this is basing it's mechanics on without giving a flying fuck about the story or characters so the gimmick of being supposedly "ordinary" which isn't very novel to begin with doesn't really matter to me even in the games that are being ripped off.
The narration of this video is blowing a lot of hot air. For example.
>constantly reminding you that it is a game
Like having a UI on screen at all times with item selection designed for a d-pad like dark souls on the right?
>no game developer guiding you at every step
Except the quest-marker compass at the top, of course. Which appears to be on screen at all times. If they want "muh immersion" at least hide the UI when not in combat.
Narrator comes off as trying to appeal to people who fell for the "souls games are so hardcore" trendy "no hand-holding" "so difficult" gamur e-peen shit, but it's glaringly obvious they don't actually believe half the shit being said here.

You seem like you have good taste anon, I'm interested in Amid Evil too so I'll have to check out the other ones you posted about. Out of curiosity, what are some games already out that you'd recommend? You certainly already know of Dustforce and Devil Daggers so I'll recommend Lovely Planet and Distance.
>Lovely Planet
The most basic FPS one could possibly conceive of, even more basic than Devil Daggers but the tight level design, comfy aesthetic, quick restarts, and predictable controls/enemies makes it sort of like a FPS version of Dustforce. A child who has never played a videogame could easily beat many of the levels but it takes an absolute madman to master them.
>Distance
The only racing game I've ever enjoyed, the reason being that the level design forces you to pull off crazy stunts in order to make it through. An example would be when the track ends but there's a ceiling so you have to jump, flip your car 180 degrees, and drive on the ceiling while using upside down boosters to keep you from falling down. It takes awhile to get used to the complex controls but its well worth it.

It's just jewish behavior to go ahead and pretend you own a singular word. The situation is similar to the autism with No Man's sky, where they got sued by a company for the word "sky". If it were extremely similar like those knock off movies that copy Alien including the name but get away with it because they're indian or some shit then I'd be on their side but it's not.

I hold Serious Sam as the pinnacle of first person shooters than Quake but Quake isn't a bad choice for a good game, no shame in picking Quake over Serious Sam.
I don't truly find games that become more complex worse, what I do hate are mechanics or features that just bloat the core game, the implementation is braindead stupid and is just another chore to the player, like the ability to switch colors, FAST RMX or Fast Racing Neo or their previous game on the Wii is just fucking shit at no point did I feel that this dumb mechanic is justified. It is just a cheap shallow way to get the player think that this mechanic is 'deep' in a racing game of all things, the same shit happens in Ikaruga, which Ikaruga is worsen by the fact that it picks the most bland two colors and actually affects more than just the gameplay but also the fucking graphics: how enemies look, how shots look. Becomes a fucking snorefest if you ask me.
Euroshmups can be good and fun to play, but compared to rest of the competition it sours in comparison, but it does not sour in comparison to much more older shmups, these type of games have way less appeal and iconic games due to how many features or gimmicks they pack in and forget the rest of the game.

From what I gather, one of the main characters is a moth, who are like elves in the setting, and due to the art style his sex isn't specified. He refers to himself as "we," which I guess hints at pozz if you're retarded. The characters, who are seasoned adventurers, have never even seen a moth, let alone met one, so their culture and biology is foreign - for all we know from the demo, moths could have group consciousnesses in the setting.
Like, I learned about the concept of the "Royal We" from a cartoon, so I can't blame anyone too harshly, but the demo is freely available and it's really solid aside from the usual >Unity problems and some minor level design gripes.

I was a senior in highschool when the original serious sam came out; I downloaded the pre-release tech demo and it did not work worth a damn on my ATI RAGE card. I was hyped because of the gorgeous visuals but then the game came out and I loathed it because the weapons were either boring or bizarre, the enemy designs were stupid, and sam himself was even more irritating than duke and lo wang
anyway,
>I don't truly find games that become more complex worse, what I do hate are mechanics or features that just bloat the core game
what is "the core game," though? you wouldn't say upgrading your ship is a core mechanic in raptor? what about changing your parts in armored core? it's the same thing, after all.
I sorta get what you're driving at but your "I appreciate parts of this game and I wish it didn't have these parts I don't like" feeling is ultimately just a wish for something that doesn't exist, and that's stupid. don't rail against something you don't like because it isn't what you want it to be. appreciate the games you like and discard the ones you don't.
I'm not saying a mechanic can't be game-ruining, but a lot of people like the games you're trashing on, and it's not for want of knowing better; it's simply a preference. clearly those games have something about them that people enjoy. (hint: it's increased agency over the game's mechanics)

I mean, it's fine if you think that; personally I prefer my games to have a little more depth and interactivity to them.
I think the comparison is pretty apt really, in shmups you have people who like tyrian and you have people who like master of weapon and that's fine. not everyone is constantly in the pursuit of ever greater skill levels to tune their no-miss lunatic clears or UV-Max complete times

There's nothing like a cannonball, very unique firearm and if you dive into Serious Sam 2, it gets even more nuts and the weapons are very similar to older shooters. The enemy design might look a bit retarded but they're very distinct and has different attributes attached to each enemy, only a few colorswaps but at least with the colorswap they did introduce something different like instead of shooting lasers, it shoots out rockets.
I disagree, average gamers and 'journalists' tend to praise games that just have these sort of mechanics because they cannot truly enjoy an actual good game without this mechanic that usually gets in the way. It is the tomato sauce to steak.

Still waiting on pic related to hit their final release. It's one of the best games I've ever played and is mostly "complete" but they keep adding pretty legit stuff with new updates as well as general bugfixes and QoL improvements. The new HD graphics are fucking gorgeous. I don't want to start playing again only for them to add something new (oh and by the way we shuffled around the science packs, AGAIN) and have to once more re-learn everything from scratch.

If you were in a high school and not a loser you would realise serious sam is supposed to be planned at a LAN party. Three days without sleep, snorting mountain dew off your keyboard and having a blast with friends doing the same is how the game was designed to be played.

I do agree about loathing Serious Sam. I get the appeal, I just cannot play these kinds of games where you get locked in an arena and have to take on increasing waves of spawning enemies. Serious Sam is pretty well designed with how you can eventually get good enough to know when to dodge kleers/bulls without looking, but the way it's designed I find so anti fun and so fucking infuriating. I simply don't find fun in anything in the game, with how slow you move.

I'm a bit unsure on how I feel about it, the artstyle didn't transition to 3D very well and looks kind of generic with its low detail and cell-shading.

I think another issue is that they have to keep releasing new content for player retention, you end up with a lot of needless padding so it becomes overwhelming with how much is going on yet how little any of it matters.

Maps are terrible compared to race leagues or levelling in terms of gameplay since you have to stop doing the "playing the game" part of the game to do tedious inventory management while also likely using search filters to exclude the rare map mod that will OHKO your build. (it might be as many as 5 different kinds of maps that can OHKO you depending on your level of experience and build metagame power).
Why can't you feed the map device with a metaphorical hopper of 100 maps, a couple stacks of currency, and ask it to automatically roll fun maps for you, unlocking the ability to exclude modifiers that suck (temp chains, suddenly and instantly die), instead of autistically clicking each map over and over again. Maps could even be chained together and vomit out all of the currency, loot, and map rewards at the end when you kill the boss so you can remove the rainbow vomit of ugly rectangles all over the screen.
Delve attempts to solve all of these problems, but is ruined because it's "too fun" and tencent wants you to RMT for exalt orbs to buy "scarabs" (?) in order to spend substantial amounts of time in the action rpg mode.

Don't ever forget that one time in beta when we made a Flicker build that broke the game, and forced the GGG devs to admit they can't fix the kind of broken we discovered without writing the engine over from scratch. So they decided to just roll out a fundamentally broken game and then add MTX and SJW pandering on top.

Funny enough, the devs pop up on the Spire subreddit occasionally to let people know they're still alive. I suspect they ran out of money a long time ago and are now doing this as a passion project.
They claim to be attempting a proc gen game that seems to be hand-crafted. I doubt they'll get that far, but it looks like the construction of the maps will be a hell of a lot more intricate than typical proc gen crap.

I understand the guy, though. I'd do the same, because I like SOTN. Sure, I could do something generic, but that's not what I would have liked. The thing is, if he wanted to improve the game he'd romhack it. He is between romhack and a new game and that lack of identity might fuck whatever the fuck might come next.
With those sprites he can simply modify the game, from stats to surfice to enemies. Seems like the game will also be classicvania and not metroidvania? Also, I bet he won't even release the sprites if shit goes under.

I think it all hinges on whether or not it's a free game, because I can point to a lot of castlevania fan games mixing the series' sprites with original sprites and getting away with it completely fine.
Speaking of which, I have a bit of hope for Wallachia reign of dracula. I liked Lecarde Chronicles 2 and although I dislike how ugly the sprites remain, especially since they're having you play as a qt? vampire slayer, but her sprite had been redesigned into something better this year so I'm hopeful. I'm also fairly interested in this supposed merge of Contra and Castlevania gameplay.
I fucking hate how some devs don't have development updates anywhere but Facebook/Twitter. Why do these sites have nothing better to do but throw a million popups at me that I'm not logged in?

Well, that boils down to whether you consider patreon a free way of making game or not short answer is: it isn't Long answer is that patreon is a way to profit with what you do, if you are profiting with sprites done by Konami you're braking the rules, and the fact that he modified the sprites a bit doesn't count since they are similar enough, plus they are based in the IP

It's an OGL RPG meant to be like ToEE which is basically the best thing ever if you like D&D. The only issue I have with it is that they may have fired their writer because he was a National Socialist. They've shown a module creator that looks better than NWN, and if we get NWN tier player content in a ToEE style game with a more modern interface and acceptable graphics then I might not ever need another CRPG.

DLC for Prey 2017. If you didn't play Prey, play it because it's a Bio/System Shock successor that takes the best elements of both and adds some fun stuff of its own as well. The DLC uses the engine to make a very, very interesting roguelite. Word of advice though: even after you get the ability to do so, don't Fabricate any time extenders because they make the entire game into a cakewalk. If you want things to remain challenging, I urge you to refrain. Also don't complete the Janator's story quest, because for some dumbass reason after you complete all the objectives it kicks you out of the main game and into the ending, and there's no way to go back in to explore other than restarting the whole game. Look up her quest and the ending on YouTube, both are piss easy anyway.
Oh, and you can short the shields with any electricity source. That may sound minor but trust me, it's important. And don't expect much from the story of Mooncrash, the base game's story is pretty good but Mooncrash's is a complete mess and is probably its weakest link other than the idiotic "kick you out at the ending" thing.

Strider 2014? Or do you mean the pixelshit one which was shown at E3 where the dev got crucified for posting on Twitter about gamergate? That one was "2.5D" in that everything was 2D sprites, but they moved in a 3D environment and cast shadows.

Swarm Assault is a very simple "RTS" where all you do is fight, you don't have resources or anything, you simply take over four types of bases(Ant, Bug, Scorpion, Spider) which can churn out four different types of troops, with the only resource being the time it takes to spawn a unit. It remember it being fun but that was two decades ago and truthfully I'm not sure if my memory's that good.

I don't think they're really that complex. I doubt the developers want to do anything more than a 'tribute' instead of an improvement on the concept.
Before I describe the stages of the first fight, how about some primer on how you kill them?
>the weak points are basically cylinders that your grab, pull, then push inwards to create a *gong* sound

>there's a grapple point on his back that you might also use your hookshot on

Overall, it feels more like Breath of the Wild meets SotC. You need to manage your warmth levels during this first fight because there's a blizzard going on at the same time, so it can be kind of aggravating. The developers have changed a few ones and zeroes around in the past few days to make it less of a pain in the ass, but who knows what the future holds. You old got 5 bosses to fight as of right now.

They've even tried to copy the awkward tripping of the MC. This game pisses me off because SoTC was one of the greatest games of its generation. It's a crime to copy it. Take the gameplay if you want, evolve it into something more, but don't just copy the whole thing.

I noticed that too. They probably did it to copy SotC, but without considering that it was meant to show how Wanderer was an immature fighter. MC girl doesn't even have a name, as far as I know.
Also, one of the bosses, the big bird, it was a weakness on each wing tip and at the end of it's tail. Just like the bird in SotC, save for an extra weakness on it's belly.
Honestly, if they're going to take that much from SotC, I'd rather they add in bosses based on the unused colossi.

There's a grain of truth to this, but the bottom line is that there hasn't been something even similar to shadow since it's release. When the fans haven't gotten anything else in over a decade, it's hard to criticize the ones who are actually delivering *something*. That being said I'm not a fan of the aesthetic or the UI, it seems a little busy compared to SotC, the simplicity is what made it really enthralling visually.
