I thought when it popped that dialog you were going to do what you did.

I just watched this guy's let's play, and now I know what I was missing. You have to destroy the large red orbs to make the electric orb thing go away-- what he doesn't say in the video is how you destroy the large red orbs (I think you either make them come to the foreground while you're inside them, or there's an attack button I didn't see.)
Anyway I could have played this game for hours and never figured that out, and the game certainly doesn't tell you, so. Fuck Eron.

Curse of the Assassin FULL GAME PLAY THROUGH!!!
If you live in Australia you must watch this video, as your tax moneys paid for this via extremely questionable government loan programs. (Australia, trying to start up a game industry? Aussies hate games! WTF.)

You probably don't really care, but:
Theu
looks like an upside-down omega.
Flax is the fiber from which linen is made. The raw fiber is yellowish, thus "flaxen-haired" means blond.

If someone's hair looks like this:
that person has major health problems.
Although I guess it's a fantasy medieval thing, so no shampoo yet?
-
Yeah, that's what it looks like when it's growing. After it's been harvested and the fibers have been extracted from the stems it looks like this; the similarity to blond hair is pretty obvious:

Instinct, another extraordinarily dull "survival" game that probably won't be interesting even when (if!) it contains stuff.

Does that have an entertaining-to-your-viewers badly-implemented lumberjacking bit like some game you reviews a long time ago that I can't remember the name of, but was about lumberjacking?
-
No, but apparently you can punch trees with your fist. Maybe. It doesn't do anything, though.
-

Shit, you could do that four years ago in Minecraft.

-
Also, in real life.
Well, in real life, you get a bloody and/or broken fist, so I wouldn't say it does nothing.

This is actually a pretty good game. Something felt wrong with your stream, everything was too slow.
You never figured out the dash system. On keyboard + mouse, stop shooting and keep the cursor in the direction you're running. I guess on the controller, you'd align the two sticks in the same direction.
The whole skill of the game is to shoot while you can, then dash away when you get crowded. Also, don't agro too many enemies at the same time by running all over the place.
That said, it's definitely a lunch break game. Not too much depth once you figure it out.

This is actually a pretty good game.
Well it works, and seems reasonably polished. I don't think it's a good game, though.
I mean, your character sprite doesn't even have any animation. (One of the Steam reviews sad the sprites were bought from a clip-art pack.) Come on. It draws a million numbers and explosions on the screen so it's impossible to see where you or any of the enemies are. Nor is it possible to tell how much damage your attack does, or even what the secondary weapon does.
Something felt wrong with your stream, everything was too slow.
Well it kicked my ass at THAT speed, I can't imagine being able to do anything with it if it was any faster. I don't mind people who are like, "make the game super difficult!!! SO HARD!" but I do mind those people removing difficulty sliders, because it makes their game completely useless to people like me.
You never figured out the dash system.
I never figured out a lot of stuff. For example, what the weird light-sawblades the priest character had, where they came from, or how they worked. That's because the game doesn't explain any-fucking-thing.
On keyboard + mouse, stop shooting and keep the cursor in the direction you're running. I guess on the controller, you'd align the two sticks in the same direction.
If only the hint text changed to reflect the controller I'm using...
Seriously, your standard for "pretty good" is way too low here.

I'm a crappy casual-ish gamer who never completes any game. I often give up on games I find too difficult, such as Shovel Knight or Beast Boxing Turbo.
IMO this is not THAT difficult.

The help does appear before each new game, but I guess it's a bit obscure and hard to notice. See if you can spot it on this screen.
"Press START for stats"
Wonder what's that?

That is crappy, but seems to be widespread in industry.

I do favor specific kinds of games, and this falls into the sweet spot. I'm sure stuff like Witcher 3, GTA 5 etc. are much better games, but I have so little interest, I didn't even pirate them out of curiosity.
-
or Beast Boxing Turbo.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa???
That game is awesome, it's not at all too hard.
IMO this is not THAT difficult.
Maybe it would be easier with some tutorials and less graphical garbage on the screen making it impossible to see what's going on. But the current version has none of that.
The help does appear before each new game, but I guess it's a bit obscure and hard to notice.
No; I saw it. I commented on it in the video, remember? But I'm not using a mouse, so "run towards mouse" is gibberish.
It's actually gibberish for keyboard/mouse users too, since you really want the character to run towards the mouse cursor which is not the same thing as the mouse. But I've long since given up telling that to idiots.
"Press START for stats"
Wonder what's that?
I dunno, stats?
Why would I expect something named "stats" to contain help or tutorials?
In any case, there's no help there. "Fire three short bursts, with occasional pillars" Bursts of what? What are "pillars"? You mean the saw blades? Are those pillars? Because they look like saw blades. How much damage do the "short bursts" do compared to the "pillars"?
"Charged bolt nova and a barrier that destroys projectiles". Well, ok, the barrier that destroys projectiles is pretty self-explanatory, but what's a "bolt nova"? What does it do? Does it do damage? How much?
That is crappy, but seems to be widespread in industry.
Yes, we all know shitty software is wide spread. That's no reason to cheer it on by lying and saying it's "pretty good".
I do favor specific kinds of games, and this falls into the sweet spot. I'm sure stuff like Witcher 3, GTA 5 etc. are much better games, but I have so little interest, I didn't even pirate them out of curiosity.
Ok, first of all, don't pirate anything you broke piece of shit.
Secondly, you don't like Beast Boxing Turbo but you do like Overture? Your tastes are backwards and upside-down. I should do a video on Beast Boxing Turbo just to talk about how it does everything right as an indie game.
You have to at least admit this game is lazy as fuck. It's kind of like Nuclear Throne except with Nuclear Throne, fucking effort went into it. There's things like "sprites the developers created themselves" and "animation". And arenas that vary in layout, instead of just being large wide-open spaces with occasional blocks. And the help tips match the controller you're using.

I liked beast boxing, I just found one guy too difficult and gave up.

Oh yeah. Micro budget, single mechanic roguelite. It's not even close to something like Binding of Isaac.
They DO have a lot of unlockable characters, but I gave up long before I unlocked them all. They'd have been better off if they invested that time into designing better, more meaningful pickups.
BTW, I just saw your "Lemma" review. It also looks sluggish. I installed the game, and it plays fine (low budget Mirrors Edge, with less cool factor and more of the annoying first person wall jumping).
Anyway, looks like something's wrong with your PC.
-
BTW, I just saw your "Lemma" review. It also looks sluggish. I installed the game, and it plays fine (low budget Mirrors Edge, with less cool factor and more of the annoying first person wall jumping).
I started it a second time and it ran at normal FPS, but only by taking like 100% of my GPU's attention (the video I had going in VLC stopped dead, but its audio continued fine.)
I started it a third time, and the video in VLC kept going, but the game was again choppy as fuck.
It's something in the game's coding, but I couldn't figure out what it was for sure. There was a game I did awhile ago where FRAPS caused a slowdown (protip to game developers: if your game doesn't work with FRAPS you've just alienated like 50,000 people who would otherwise make let's play videos of it), but both of the above trials FRAPS wasn't running.
My best theory is that the guy who coded it didn't have multiple monitors in mind, and thus thought it was ok to just 100% the GPU and my OS or GPU driver says "yes" to it sometimes and "fuck you" to it at other times.
But it's the game coding that's the problem. Because I've never seen weird demented behavior like that before, and I play a lot of video games.

But how do you explain both Overture and Lemma working slowly? I'm telling you, you're due for a restart.
-
First of all, I don't think Overture was working slowly. You thought it was, never me.
Secondly, I shut down my computer every night to save power, so it gets restarted regularly.
-
Ok, then try them both now, in the name of science.
-
No. I already uninstalled them. Fuck you.

For the rest of your life, always, in the back of your mind, you'll wonder.
-
Actually I still have Lemma installed because it was pretty fun, but as already established, it's a complete crapshoot whether it runs at the proper FPS or not.
-
Also supports Oculus. The graphics look pretty good; I expect it would look really cool in VR, but only if it's working right. I'm pretty sure I'd be puking if it looked like that.
-
Also, factoid doesn't mean what you think it means. It means a statement that is wrong or unsupported by evidence, not trivia that is correct.
The internet supports both definitions.
-
I played it again this morning for about 45 minutes or so, until I hit a jump that I swear is impossible. Or possibly the game gave me a new power it didn't bother to tell me about because it has shitty tutorials. Either/or.

That was a boring game, but a pretty good video. You should do more stuff like when you talked about Day-Z and STALKER.

These games are pretty good, especially Super Dungeon Run which is like an indie Overlord rogue-like kind of thing.

I had to fight YouTube tooth and nail for it, but here's the next video:

Ratz Instagib, a kind of pointless FPS game where the gimmick is that every shot is a one-shit kill. You know, like Golden Gun mode in Goldeneye, but less fun.

The controls in this game are horrible. Despite "Xbox Controller Recommended", it's virtually impossible to turn your ship during combat and it's a complete mystery how to hit enemy ships.

Even if I disregard the intended insult to my mother, that would be more than a little creepy. My mom's been dead for 15 years.
