Re: All things Achievements, Trophies, Meta

But I generally find that trophy hunters are less dedicated to the hunt than their achievement-hunting counterparts. I don't know if that rings true for anyone else, or why that might be. I've noticed this as well. Perhaps it's because the achievement system predates the trophy system by several ye...

Re: Infinifactory

Oh, nice! Very happy to hear that. :P
I don't think you'll be disappointed if you enjoy creative puzzle-solving.

That's actually really useful information, man. I just wrote it down just in case.

Re: All things Achievements, Trophies, Meta

For me it very much depends on the quality of both the game and the trophy itself. If either of those don't check out (pointless collectibles, low replay value, endless grinding, most multiplayer ones, etc...), then I don't bother with the concept. Some games I love, like Yakuza, have such poorly de...

Re: What's Out This Week?

So basically - the color of your ship renders you invulnerable to enemy bullets of the same color. Flipping it in order to absorb incoming bullets is an essential (and rather unique) part of the game. It's a really unconventional and therefore probably unintuitive mechanic at first glance. Try it ou...

Re: What's Out This Week?

Hard to the point - I just don’t get it. Apologies if this sounds rude, but... are you utilising the polarity flip mechanic correctly? As far as I know, that's really the main concept that first-time Ikaruga players need to get used to before the game starts to click. Otherwise it's just: shoot 'em...

Re: Detroit: Become Human

Heavy Rain and Detroit are hugely ambitious games with multiple playable characters, complex story branching and last the average player between 30-50 hours. How many endings were there on Heavy Rain? 17? Detroit had a 3,000 page script and did motion capture for over a year. But that's the thing, ...

Re: Detroit: Become Human

Why don't other games get the same criticism. Well, it's probably because of the contrast of expectations vs. reality. The Walking Dead is a low-budget indie game with lots of nuanced, understated character moments. Part of its positive reception was due to being an unexpected hit from a random stu...

Hm... I think Todinho was talking about the allegations of an unhealthy studio culture at Quantic Dream and not commenting on any kind of problematic in-game content. I could be wrong, though.

Re: Infinifactory

It's really easy! I'm at the halfway point now and I haven't had any control issues to speak of. The world uses the same invisible cubic grid system as Minecraft, so you never have to align things in a pixel-perfect fashion. Also, gravity is basically disabled during the construction phase, which me...

Re: Death Stranding

Interesting tidbit about the game's collaborative nature from Mikkelsen, who's apparently as confused as we are. I'm trying very hard not to hype myself up like a madman this time around, but my interest is... piqued. This is an excruciatingly fine line to walk. Game can't come soon enough. PS: Mikk...

Infinifactory

So let me tell you about Infinifactory. It's a first-person logic puzzle game about constructing self-sufficient, three-dimensional factory machines through the use of individual building blocks. What makes it stand out from other puzzle games is its systemic nature. Apart from some of the tutorials...

Re: Videogame Deals

There is a nice PSN sale going on at the moment. I bought Infinifactory for 8€. Absolute steal, this is hands down one of the best puzzle games I've ever played.

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition

For those who have played both extensively, would you say that Fire Emblem Warriors is on the same level of quality as this one? Like I said, my interest is piqued. But I would probably gravitate towards FEW first due to my higher affinity for the series unless there's a major quality difference bet...
