Quoting: Purple Library GuyBut when it comes to skeletons . . . they're magic. If you're going to buy that they walk around and try to kill you with no muscles, tendons et cetera to drive their movements, talking seems like a comparatively trivial bit of gramarye to stick at. Either they're proper "physics" skeletons, meaning they lie there falling apart and do nothing, or they're magic skeletons, in which case surely the sky's the limit.

I still think there's a difference! I accept that magic is what holds the bones together and moves'em. But why even MOVE the damn jaws when you have *nothing* behind those bones? Just go telepathic or make the skull vibrate to generate those sound waves or whatever. It makes no sense even in the context of the worlds. Of course they can't talk the regular way, by moving their jaws!

Must be added though, that living skeletons are usually quite quiet, except from the rattling of their bones.

But those who are not... Get outta here. :)

Quoting: EikeThat's a nice idea, but with my two baby girls (10 months now), I have so little time to play anthing at all... :)

TWO? So, twins? That's quite the load, I can imagine. :D I got two girls myself, but 3 and 6 years old.

Anyhow, you know where to find me if you should feel so inclined. :) I'm Beamboom on Steam too.

Quoting: BeamboomCoop?! I wasn't aware these games offered a coop mode!

Me neither! Might be worth a try!

Hmm - maybe we should give it a shot someday if we're both on Steam? Do I have you on my Steam list? Could be fun just to give it a spin?!

Now THIS is a performance gap I can happily live with. Thanks for a job well done, Feral!

Shouldn't we just as well hand out the main GOTY for 2018 now? ;)

Coop?! I wasn't aware these games offered a coop mode! That would probably be what I would need to really enjoy these games. A buddy and I, a bottle of alcoholic beverage and traversing through this madness? Oh yesh, totally.

I'm such a dull person. When I watched the video, I thought, "how can that guy scream "waaaaaaa!" with no head?".

Much like when skeletons are talking and they have no lungs in their chest, let alone vocal cords. Details like that really annoys me.

I really am no fun.

Minimum OS: Ubuntu 17.10
Minimum? So not older than the latest release? I'm intrigued. Mind you I have no objections, but I find it interesting still.

Oh well, I'll upgrade my systems with the next LTS coming next week anyways. So yeah - bring it on!

Oh and btw, the reviews are pretty unison in that this is a better game than the precessor, so worth considering even if you found the last game to be a bit too railed.

Sounds like the time is right for a purchase! There'll be top-down shootin' tonight. :)

Quoting: DuncI've hardly played it because the multiplayer-only thing puts me off. I'm not against multiplayer (much), but I like to be able to practice quietly while I learn the ropes without being killed every thirty seconds.

Can't you just fire up your own server to practise on, or isn't it that easy?
