I'm a degenerate. I'm buying these Wolf whatever VNs for the lesbians but I'm not actually playing them because I remember I don't like VNs or JRPGs.
Speaking of degeneracy, throw this on the Steam sale lists: Choice of Games has been throwing a lot of their CYOAs on Steam. Their whole company ethos seems to be that you can choose to be and pursue any gender and the story just swaps pronouns all around, making it home to really daft, ugly, androgyne romances and some tranny nerds airing their grievances but not in all their games. I can vouch that, despite almost half the cast being gay, the Choice of Heroes series was pretty good. Haven't tried their rest on Steam but on their official site they do have some talented writers. Slammed was probably the best love letter to pro wrasslan I've consumed but I am not a huge consumer of love letters to pro wrasslan.
Speaking of hero CYOAs, Tin Man's Fighting Fantasy: Appointment With Fear is slick. Just a shame it's an old FF book and is byzantine and random as the best of them. Tin Man's modern produced Gamebook Adventure series have ALWAYS been better, even that awful sci-fi one, but people love their nostalgia so apparently that is making them more money than actually well-designed and beautifully written stuff. You should all go to Tin Man's humble store and buy all their non-FF gamebooks except for that awful sci-fi one.
And speaking of awful sci-fi hero games, $5 is my price point for ragdoll murder out of hell, because SR doesn't appeal with their dumb lol randumb humor any more or with anything approaching challenge.
I also enjoyed Watch Dogs. Chicago; the theme of hacking; mix of GTA-gameplay + stealth was absolutely fantastic. A freaking blast to play.
While the plot itself was fine - the characters and story development was quite "meh." Very disappointed w/ that stuff. They could've done more with that stuff - a lot more.
Had to tone some of my setting down on WD PC to get it to run worth a damn, though. It looked gorgeous at higher settings - but, wouldn't run worth a damn (i.e. think anywhere below 30 frames; often in the 10-20 frames range + sometimes even less).
Didn't look spectacular at what I had it on - but it was decent enough and run fine there for me.
I actually really liked what we had. Aiden as someone who beat criminals with his baton to work off stress to the point where he was late to hang with his family for it was kinda cool. The plot was kinda all over the place but we met people who were interesting enough to kill and then got to kill them. I think it was a better story than what Rockstar puts out.
It wasn't hugely satisfying but I enjoyed it, though I wish there was some more life to their world. It was clearly designed by committee. A game about hacking the world and social media everyone being online and visible and the plot is just a macguffin chase leading to a mobster? The most evil thing they could do with an evil social media supercomputer is rig an election? Even Aiden couldn't take that one seriously. It's friggen Chicago!
That said, searching the urban jungle for the legendary lost mainframe? Hell yes. That was cool as hell.
Still, I think Ubisoft's committee design was obvious. No one man could have written Watch Dogs's story. Any one or two people would have crafted a slightly better whole, or at least one with more direction. But, what we did get was cool enough that I'm happy to have it.
Watch Dogs had better car crashes than Saints Row 3 and 4.
ing atrocious because otherwise that would be right up his alley.
will PM you the code in a min
