I cheated and had my 5 year old draw it for me.

Been playing Hard West this week. Love it. The combat is challenging, the infiltration mode is great, and the storylines are top notch. It does tend to crash when finishing missions for the first time which is frustrating unless you remember to quicksave before completing the last objective.

Quoting: JuliusEasier/cheaper/more realistic to make a game look "good" with these aesthetics to a niche of players than trying to make it full 3D and having it end up looking "bad" to everyone. Game Developer 101.

And I get that, but even back in the SNES days I would have thought this game looked "not good." I am just not a fan of this aesthetic.

I will definitely check it out, but those graphics are hard to stomach. I will never understand why some devs go out of their way to make games look like they are 25 years old.

"I Ran" came on the radio yesterday. I spent the entire time analyzing the lyrics for clues. I got nothing.

I don't mind the game not being a shooter. I just can't suspend my disbelief enough to accept that a full strength arrow point-blank to the eyeball doesn't even slow someone down. Pushing someone causes them to stagger for like half a second, but shish-ka-bobbing their brain doesn't?

Tried the tutorial. Shot someone in the face with a charged arrow and it barely did any damage. That alone is enough to tell me this is not a game for me.

Quoting: ageresCall of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. I played it back in 2006 and remember it as a very scary game. I heard it runs very bad on Windows newer than XP, but on Linux I haven't experienced any crashes so far.

I remember when I played this, I was on XP but my GPU was "too good" and resulted in some odd bugs. The hard-working dev who ported it to PC helped with some workarounds and I did manage to finish the game.

Icy: Frostbite Edition. I dig it. It reminds me a lot of the board game Dead of Winter - just without the zombie trappings. Lots of character development and lots of difficult choices with meaningful consequences.

I hope they do something with those battle animations. Yee gods.

Otherwise it looks decent. Might give it a second look depending on what they mean by "real time with turns." Not a big fan of real-time in either RPGs or in strategy games personally.
