    So i finished Remember Me last night. I know people here have recommended it, but I just didn't know how good it was. It's got one of the most original and unique plots and mechanics I've seen in a video game. If you have this in your backlog, I would recommend playing it sooner rather than later. It doesn't take long to finish either. Steam clocked me in at slightly over 12 hours. The gameplay is solid, and the game is also gorgeous. I am pleasantly surprised by how good the game is.

    @Talus9952 - have you played Life is Strange yet? Same devs. Similar sort of rewind mechanic. Gorgeous art. Great story. No annoying platforming.

    @Pixelated Pixie

    No I have not.

    So I'm a sucker (and on bundles they can still accept amazon payments there, but not in the store... so weird) and bought the base tier. Anybody have a WiiU and want a copy of Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition?

    A quick warning about the new Humble Bundle.
    The Humble Nindie Bundle is region-locked and can only be redeemed on North, Central, and South American Wii U and 3DS consoles (with the exception of Brazil).

    I'm not ecstatic about Humble okaying that.

    It's not Humble Bundle okaying that, it's Nintendo's eShop region locking things.

    It's not really up to them here, sadly. Uncle nintendo is big on region locking.

    From their feed: Double Fine has acquired the publishing and IP rights to their game, Iron Brigade (formerly "Trenched"), allowing them to remove GFWL:

    www.doublefine.com
    San Francisco - May 26, 2015 - Double Fine Productions, developer and publisher of the successfully-crowdfunded games Broken Age and Massive Chalice, is adding another game to its list of self-published titles. Iron Brigade on PC, Mac, and Linux will now be published under the Double Fine label. The developer has also regained ownership of the intellectual property.

    Double Fine is releasing an update to the Steam version of the game. In addition to bug fixes and improvements, the original matchmaking system has been removed and replaced with matchmaking via Steam.

    “The great thing about this change is that now there are no obstacles to us creating the best possible experience for players,” said the game’s creator, Brad Muir. “We have fixed all known issues as well as provided a great matchmaking experience for multiplayer. Vlad and his Monovision Menace are on the move again! In the best possible way!”

    Originally released in 2011, Iron Brigade was popular among players for its unique combination of tower defense and mech shooter gameplay. IGN called Iron Brigade, “the best downloadable game [they’ve] played all year.” Going on to say “Its skillful blend of witty writing, fun shooting, and tactical tower defense makes for hours of replayable gameplay.”

    The update was released today for PC, Mac, and LINUX via Steam. To celebrate, the game is currently available for 80% off.

    There are currently no plans to rename the game, “Trenched.”

    Iron Brigade is 2.99 right now. It's easily worth that much, in my opinion.

    With GFWL excised from it, I might have decided to fling a few copies about. :biggrin:

    What? What craziness is this? I had nothing to do with anything @ReverseCreations did. Ever. He's 100% guilty on his own, with no assistance from me. If he tells you otherwise, it's because he's delirious from the meds and can't be trusted.

    Thanks to @destroyah87 for Iron Brigade, which I've heard is a good thing. <3<3<3

    Moon chronicles had better not be a sequel to moon on the DS, I can't afford a new one and my wrist barely survived the originally.

    Great FPS action, one of the better games XPlay recommended to me. Their critique of RAGE was also spot on.

    So for any of you wondering about Akiba's trip (Which you probably looked at hte title, and the videos...and the premise and went "NOPE") I played a bit. Port isn't great. Didn't expect it to be. It runs, I guess, and you can choose resolution...that's about it. It crashed on me within the first 5 minutes....

    However the cards are going to sell for silly money.

    Holy shit, I didn't think that would happen. Iron Brigade was such a great game. I mostly played it with my brother on XBLA. I was disappointed to hear that it had some issues which they had blamed on GFWL. I have a feeling it's a bit too late for the game to regain any sort of community at this stage, but I do hope they can make a proper sequel.

    According to wikipedia, it's a remake.

    Langly gave me a code for it, and I just beat the first episode. First impression was a bit dull but a few minutes later I was fighting a four armed security robot with a seemingly completely pointless face and firing at its glowing red weakspots with my alien energy-pistol, and it was just impossible to take seriously in the best way.

    I haven't kept up with it at all, but I see Audiosurf 2 is out of early access. And there's a demo.

    Unsurprisingly, it seems very similar to the first Audiosurf.

    You could tell it wasn't going to be the best port when a Vita game has a minimum requirement of 6GB of RAM and 1GB of VRAM on PC (Vita has 512RAM and 128VRAM for comparison).

    It's the PS4 version though, which does have some improvements, so that doesn't really matter.

    Just wanted to quote this so I could witter about Tales from the Borderlands. Telltale actually managed to do this one right. There's a dual narrative structure, with decisions made in one branch impacting the other. There's a vague overarching framework that takes place a bit in the "future" of the game, leaving the player to decide how the characters ended up in the future situation by setting up their characters in the "past".

    It's incredibly pretty for a Telltale game - the bright, clean palette really works, and it manages to avoid both Borderlands muddy brown obsession, and Telltale's odd uncanny valley thing (see: Game of Thrones Game).

    I'm not massively sold on the QTE's and action sequences, but they range from OK to bearable, and don't overwhelm a sharp, witty narrative. Or a great soundtrack.

    And it's funny. Oh, my yes, it is funny.

    ...anyway, rant over. But I do want episode 3 now.

    I am your evil opposite.

    I am super hype for Witcher 3, but am morally obligated to play them now so I can buy it. I have no interest in Arkham Knight because, in my opinion, Asylum was the best Batvania ever and City, while good, traded that for being GTA: Batmans, and I just don't care for the change in direction.
