Games for 2009... And BEYOND!

[tabasco boy]

Scrolls Beta is out.

[Xocrates]

Gunpoint is also out.

Which is brilliant (if a bit short) and you should all get it.

[GreenRock]

Looking for a game that's like Neptune's Pride in that it is multiplayer and you have to manage resources and such to defeat enemies. Except you replace the stars and spaceships with civilizations and knights.

Company of Heroes 2 Beta on steam for free for 9 days. I suggest u guys give it a try.

It is genuinely excellent.

Tom Francis missed a trick by not having a good system for sharing levels in place though. It would not have been too difficult to host a database of levels on a website where people can upload them with a description, rate them and download them. There are enough off-the-shelf bits of web software that would do that...

Age of Conquest is a pretty solid mobile strategy game, one of the best I've played. Sort of like Risk, but with taxes, limited infrastructure, more freedom of motion, etc. I'm playing the Europe map and it is a lot of fun.

It seems a bit like a mix of Risk and Europa Universalis, but with a lot of the spreadsheet stuff handled under the hood.

GOG is giving away Torchlight for the next 48 hours.

Also, they've started their summer sale.

[Ghost Division]

Anyone heard of Planetary Annihilation? here

[NeatNit]

I've heard of it when I saw that it costs $90 on Steam...

Also Xocrates, I don't see it. Says it costs $5.
Edit: nevermind, here it is. http://www.gog.com/gamecard/torchlight

That's to not undercut the kickstarter people who paid for the alpha

Not sure why they didn't make pre-ordering the beta/release possible on Steam though.

[NeatNit]

I think it's worth it just to finish it. It's a visual novel with puzzle elements to slow it down more than anything. Like I implied before, the puzzles aren't big on replayability because they're just too easy to remember. Not that any of them really kick your ass anyway.
You can go through the story parts you've seen before at an accelerated rate by holding right the whole time.

And if you love spoilers so much: Door 3 sucks monkey balls.

:cry:

[Mas Tnega]

I guess you got the game and went there then.

[Deepsmeg]

the game

[NeatNit]

God dammit... Welcome the fuck back Deepsmeg. Fuck.

I guess you got the game and went there then.

Yes, that would be a reasonable conclusion.
Kind of having trouble finding the different endings though... I've got Knife, Submarine, and Axe (or "Ax" as they call it in-game). Already tried twice more without getting a different ending... Not quite sure what the conditions are. In the end you always end up choosing between door 1, 2 or 6 when you read your own paper, which correspond to the three endings I've reached.

Could you give me any hint without just plainly giving it away? I don't want to read up a walkthrough. I have an idea that it might be dependent on the clover, but I don't really see it doing much.

[Mas Tnega]

The other two routes don't share a single door. For one of them, taking the goddamn hint he's giving you.
