I’ve played Tales of Monkey Island. If you’ve played Telltale’s version of Sam and Max, it’s pretty much the same kind of take. Probably suffers quite a bit from the episodic format, and puzzles are a bit straightforward compared to classic monkey island games. Fans of the series mostly consider it a huge letdown.

Can’t say anything about the more serious parts the Telltale catalogue, I’ve never played those, but for having played this, the 3 Sam & Max seasons and Back to the Future, there was certainly a Telltale formula that started annoying me after a while. They went less and less subtle about crafting their dialogues so they all lead to the same answer, they clearly wrote their stories with an objective to reuse character models and assets, and they still used that in-house engine that looked and controlled terribly, barely improved through the years.

Maybe it’s because I played them too late, but while I mostly had a blast playing HL2, the first one never clicked for me.

I know, it’s been very influential and new when it released, but it was still quite straight a FPS game. Whereas HL2 is like a crazy theme park of different ambiences and mechanics.

Je connaissais pas le personnage du coup je suis allé voir la première vidéo Mindliar.

Glauque. Le mensonge sur sa carrière c’est une chose mais la partie sur son association de victime et les bouquins de charognard qu’il a publié, c’est dégueulasse.

Le culot de dire “faut pas creuser la différence entre les élites et nos concitoyens” juste après avoir suggéré que Le Pen est trop importante pour ête condamnée par la justice.

I remember the sense of Pride and Accomplishment everyone got from that game back then.

Sakuna, of Rice and Ruins is about a goddess in a fictional but very shinto-adjacent religion in a country not quite, but not entirely unlike Japan. She’s the daughter of her pantheon’s God of War and Goddess of Harvests. She bashes monster heads and she sows rice, and both are important.

Fun and light-hearted, with a small cast of quirky likeable characters.

General opinion seems to be this is definitely a game.

So now their solution to the whole “don’t you guys have phone?” situation is to keep designing for mobile but port those everywhere.

I think I’ll keep not giving a shit, thank you very much.

Warner Bros is trying way too hard at this multiverse thing.

They did say that GOG didn’t mean “Good Old Games” anymore at one point, trying to change their image a bit, but even then they never really stopped doing that really.

They chased lost licences for a bunch of old CRPG, they made preconfigured DosBox packages for games that needed them…

They’d be crazy to stop that. As you said, it’s one of the things that set them slightly apart from the competition.

Cool declaration of intent, and they definitely do a lot for tweaking and packaging old games so they’re in a playable state.

But it’s a bit amusing to see The Witcher in there. I mean, yeah, I certainly hope you’re maintaining that one.

Isn’t that the wreck of a port with botched controls, horribly misshapen characters and “enhanced” textures that misspelled environmental text everywhere? Occasionally completely missing jokes by doing so?

Was it supposed to be fixed in any way at some point?

It’s probably made even more of a problem for the Normandy expedition because of the incentive to disconnect and play offline. Trying to find uncharted systems is a chore if you don’t.

So let’s say you just forgot to reconnect before creating your base, of course the game won’t find any overlap.

The game should check overlapping again for upload, not just creation.

“Eh, mais attend une minute, c’est ça que ça voulait dire en fait?”

J’ai beau lire l’article, je vois pas ce que fout le mot “monomaniaque” dans la choucroute.

C’est en réponse à une question sur la proposition de services, donc ça veut peut-être dire que pour lui, un magasin est “maniaque” de juste vendre des trucs en rayon? Il explique absolument pas ce qu’il veut dire par là.

Les mots ont un sens, merde.

Animal Crossing is a special case (and one that made a lot of people angry back when the game released).

One console is tied to one “island”, which means all accounts on the same switch play in the same town. Each has got their own house and inventory, and can contribute to the island in some ways…

But only the main account, who started the save, is “resident representative”, which means they’re the only one who can build or relocate stuff, and who can start community projects needed for the island to progress.

So yeah, all other players have an inferior experience. Which is a bit of a baffling design for a family game such as this.

The quotation marks are a nice touch. Quality trolling.

You’re right, this is what they’ve been announcing. The games you’ve bought will still be available for download.

This is not the case with the sega games we’re talking about. The announcement specifically mentions the games will still be available to download if you bought them before the delisting.

Can’t wait for the Banjo-Kazooie and Minecraft skins.
