I don't even know what the fuck is happening here

Just make a fucken C&C RTS already.

NO YOU WILL TAKE WHATEVER THE FUCK THIS IS AND LIKE IT.

Like seriously I'm not sure what the gameplay will be.

But it looks like Allies vs Soviets vs Yuri?

What's happening is an expensive trailer for a mobile game.

I'll wait for the sequel, Roadcraft II: Tides of Dirtness

In ten years we'll have World of Roadcraft. Then like 15 years after that we'll have World of Roadcraft Classic servers.

I tried really hard to like The Thaumaturge. The story hooks seemed interesting. The investigation mechanics were fun.

But the combat is bad and boring. And there is way too much of it for how bad, rote, and boring it is. Even the boss fights are just variations on the same turn based, sluggish and slow combat. I got through Act 1 and am just not interested enough to see it through.

Ah, that's a shame. I liked the demo, but that sounds like the exact wrong recipe, yeah

If the game had maybe a fourth of the combat it does I probably would have been able to stomach it.

The game makes a great first impression but never really grows beyond it.

I’m so glad that I looked up the reward for this and it wasn’t worth it, because holy shit, for context if you are hit once it’s all over and you have to do it all again

Oh wow didn't realize that was out already. I've been thinking about switching my backgroundy tactical game recently (currently stuck on Fights in Tight Spaces), I'll have to add that to my options.

I actually liked that puzzle gauntlet and getting the timing/memorization down for it. It took me a bit but it wasn't like, super difficult, the main thing was just remembering the different segments

yeah that puzzle actually prepped me for handling some later game bosses

I got fully tilted trying that Prince of Persia puzzle for at least an hour or two, took a break and completed it first try.

And upon receiving the reward I carved that moment into my Mount Rushmore of not 100%ing games alongside the Xbox 360 Banjo-Kazooie glitch.

Still a very good game, though.

the usual warnings about Ubi apply:

Police in France have taken five former Ubisoft employees, including vice president of editorial and creative services Tommy Francois and chief creative officer Serge Hascoët, into custody following a long investigation into moral and sexual harassment at the Assassin’s Creed creator. By Wednesday, the five had been taken into custody and questioned; only Francois and Hascoët’s names have been made public.

These doubts, unfortunately, did not fade away. A Better Ubisoft, a collective of employees and former employees of the studio, openly criticized the way the latest employee satisfaction survey was handled. They explain that the Ubisoft provided mostly “vague statements” and that “with the exception of participation and engagement scores, the talking points were delivered with no numbers”. A Better Ubisoft also states that the management team are “either accidentally ignorant or simply don’t want to listen” and that the collective is “tired of having to explain […] seemingly obvious points”.

From the team that brought you the Blasphemous series comes The Stone of Madness: a tactical stealth adventure game set in an 18th-century Spanish Monastery with a lovingly hand-drawn art style inspired by the work of Francisco de Goya.

Located in the Pyrenees, this time-worn Jesuit monastery is home to a madhouse and an inquisitorial prison. Five prisoners - plagued by cruel punishment, madness, and despair - pool their skills and resources to face their phobias, stave off insanity, uncover the mysteries of the Monastery, and find a way to escape.

Coming to PC (Steam and Epic), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch Early 2025!

Having never played the actual game but watched that video: The beginning with the “hope you put a time clone down” was a neat trick.

The end with the switching back and forth had Guacamelee 2 vibes.

7 hours into Dustborn and I mostly find myself really wanting to talk to people about what choices they made in different sections. Or if there even are other choices that you could make. Especially at the gas station. Feels like an area where I only clocked one path through it, but it felt like there were strong hooks for at least one other method. Or, maybe just really good red herrings.

Game's also evoking Full Throttle quite a bit now. I am very okay with that, as well.

I am approaching what feels like the end of Chapter 2, almost all my thoughts are positive so far, including how WELL they thus far embrace the chapter/comic book structure - these are no arbitrary pauses in the story, these are EPISODES, with cold opens, self-contained arcs that tie into the grand journey, whole deal. Owns.

Haven't gotten to a gas station yet, don't want to comment too much on plot specifics until I've seen a little more of it, but I feel very optimistic about how the game's shaking out.

Are you on PC or PS5? Because my biggest complaint is that, on PS5 anyway, the game is shockingly sluggish and choppy in places. I experienced my first-ever green screen hard crash, and that it happened in a game that has thus far been 90% choose your own adventure is wild (pejorative)

That's a bummer. I'm on PC on a medium-high end system (3070 and a 12th gen i7) and it's been incredibly smooth. To the point that I had one moment of sluggishness and stuttering that lasted for like 5 seconds when it transitioned to a new location and it actually stood out because otherwise the game basically never dipped from a rock solid 60fps.

But also, yeah, I really like the comic book framing, and the whole packaging for how everything is presented. It just fits narratively and structurally and isn't just an aesthetic thing. Especially with how unique and almost self-contained each episode/issue has felt. I would absolutely believe it was originally intended to be a straight up episodic release.

You're probably just about to get to the first big fight in the game after that initial tutorial fight early on (or maybe you just finished it--it's near the end of issue 2), and once you get through that the combat definitely starts getting more fun and interesting. You get an upgrade tree to customize how you fight. It really nicely rounds out an aspect of the game that, from the demo, felt like it could have easily been a lackluster afterthought.

it's by the guy who made Gunpoint and Heat Signature btw, both great games in their own right

The mecha arena shooter game Mecha Break seemed fairly interesting from the network test I played, but it sounds like they are shoving those incredibly lame nvidia AI voice acted chatbot NPCs into it. I didn't like the game enough to deal with that shit.

Sorry, I was reading the response as way more dismissive of my post than it actually was and in retrospect I did not communicate my original point clearly at all.

Just gonna shout out this great feature in the deluxe edition of Tactical Breach Wizards

Developer commentary throughout the whole game
With this enabled, you'll find tape recorders lying around the levels. Pick one up and listen to us discussing the thinking behind the level you're playing, the character your controlling, this moment in the story, or whatever else is relevant. See the trailer for a look at this in action.

There are 52 of these recordings to find, totaling over 3 hours of commentary, spread across the game's 15 hour campaign. They're a mix of designer/writer Tom Francis talking through his own thinking, and interviewing each other member of the team about their work.

We get into the reasoning behind design and story decisions, ideas we tried that didn't work out, the hardest challenges we have to solve, and get a little closer to understanding why this game took more than 6 years to make.

And when you're tired of listening to us, you can throw the tape recorder at an enemy to deal 1 knockback.

As a huge fan of director commentary tracks on DVDs, I adore when games put in a dev commentary feature. And making it a diegetic feature of the level rules.

I wish space marine was out already.

yeah they shouldn't have to hide who they are. but we have to respect their need for time

My biggest complaint about Gunpoint is that I wanted more Gunpoint. Early reviews of Tactical Breach Wizards sound like they have a similar complaint so I'm definitely looking forward to this.
