Bay 12 Games Forum

Got this last night and I think I can safely recommend it as I've had a blast so far.

I'd never actually heard of it before last night and ended up buying it because a bunch of the steam reviewers had 100+ hours of gametime.

It reminds me a little bit of TOME with some persistence thrown in, which is a good thing in my opinion.

Enemies that kill you turn into dungeon bosses which is cool. They'll take over the dungeon you died in if there isn't a boss in it already, or they'll make a brand new dungeon if there is. Kinda neat, sorta (sorta sorta) like Shadows of Mordor now that I think of it. Dungeons have some fairly interesting layouts as well, so diving into a cave feels different from climbing up a tower or digging through a crypt.

The animations are done really well and it's surprisingly satisfying to kill things. Character sprites don't actually move, but there are lootsplosions and various spell/skill effects that really bring combat to life. IMO this particular aspect is done much better than in TOME or really any other roguelike I can think of. (I take that back, CoQ feels really good to play as well, but I can't put my finger on exactly why.)

The setting seems a little bland I guess. The only thing that keeps it from being completely generic is the humorous bits, which are done pretty well to be fair.

The camera in MH takes some getting used to. I think it was a little easier on the psp because the dpad was above the stick. Of course, if you get the circle pad pro attachment everything gets a whole lot easier.

Also, I would certainly NOT wait for MH4 even if you don't have any friends to play with. The single player content is enough to last many many hours, especially for someone new to the series.

I just put down $6 for the humble roguelike bundle even though the only things I don't already own are Paranautical Activity and the DoD expansions.
If anybody would like a gift link for any of the others, just let me know and I'll shoot you the gift link.

Does anyone want the base game of Crusader Kings II?

If you're offering, and you still have it, I'd gladly take it off your hands!

Steam name? Add me, my steam name is the same as my forum name

Just added you, my steam name is the same as my forum name as well. 


EDIT: Thanks Forsaken you rock!

Currently watching "A TV show about a kid and his teacher crying helplessly" on a ceilingscreen.

We've got a brand new gameplay trailer! Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSjnDKBLZbc and tell us what you think!

Wow. That was seriously incredible. Keep up the good work.

Hi guys,

Krater just came out and it looks interesting. I was wondering if any of you guys have played it enough to form an opinion.
I feel like my fellow B12'ers generally have pretty good taste when it comes to this sort of thing, so I wanted to see if you guys thought it was any good.

Here's an old thread with more info: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=110574.msg3329907#msg3329907

It's unfortunate that the indie royales have been so lackluster, especially compared to the humble bundle. I've bought all of them so far and I will probably continue to do so, but I haven't really been impressed with any of them.
