So 2084 looks like a carbon copy of observer. They basically took all the assets and made a shooter with it. I hope they were made by the same devs cause damn that flagrant.

@castiel: It's not whining if it's the truth.

Jeff's fine to not like the game, but he didn't really give it a chance. Not that this is the best format to give it a chance, but that's neither here nor there.

Been playing book of demon for about a year, glad to see its out of early access. Its nice to play for like 30 minutes or an hour once in a while and put back down.

Ouch. A Robot Named Fight got done dirty. A rogue like Metroid's not really the kind of thing that demos well in two minutes.

It's not goty by any means but it does the idea, which as Ben astutely starts to point out is almost counter intuitive, pretty good justice. It really does feel like a good fusion of Metroid and, let's say, The Binding of Isaac.

Worth watching a video of, at the least, if that sounds like an intriguing idea to you.

@colemanfrancis: glad I’m not the only one who thought so. That game went way beyond “inspired by.”

Enjoyed the movie discussion that happened midway through (the game looked pretty cool too). I'd agree it was not a great year for movies. Annihilation, Mandy, The Other Side of the Wind (the Star Fox 2 of movies), Buster Scruggs, First Man, MI: Fallout, Infinity War, and Hereditary were my top movies, and that's not even enough to make a full top 10 list. To be fair, there's a bunch I have left to see, but even with what I have it's not exactly knocking anyone's socks off.

Might have to pull from @rorie 's GotY list and start reading more to make up for it.

From what I understand, 2084 is a sort of official offshoot of Observer. The company that made 2084 is owned by Bloober (the Observer people).

A Robot Named Fight is actually a really good game. That's the second time GB has dismissed it without really seeming to understand what kind of game it is (Dan did seem to like it, though.) Dusk is also really good. That is all.

@jeff For what it's worth, I would love to remove Fallout 3 from my Steam library - I've bought the GOTY version, so I'll never launch the original one again, but there it is. I do think games can be hidden, though.

Of course, most of the outrage is, as always, people getting upset over nothing.

Putting you in a tiny room and making you fire a grenade launcher as part of a tutorial, only to chastise you for firing a grenade launcher and teach you how to heal is a pretty good gag.

@puuberz: it’s the second time I’m seeing it on GB and I still don’t really see the appeal. For a throwback shooter it nails the style but as far as gameplay goes it didn’t seem to be doing much for me. I’d even say beginning first level enemies seemed to be taking a little too long to die.

You can delete gaemes from steam you do it via the support section.

I did it to get rid of a bunch of gifts for monday night combat that were clogging up my steam inventory after that game died.

Ace of Seafood has been on my Steam wishlist for at least a year now. I should stop being such a COWARD and buy it.

Also: what's up with the thumbnail? Looks like it was clearly pulled from a different video.

@humanity: They aren't playing it wrong they're just playing it in a really boring slow way that makes the game look bad. Anyone who is half decent at these types of shooters in usually moving around at 90mph finishing the enemies easily with 2 or 3 well placed shots.

Hey, if you want to donate something and Goodwill doesn't take it, look into local hunger programs because they usually do take them. Actually, if you have a good local hunger/help program, I recommend it over Goodwill because they usually just give the donated items to people in need rather than reselling them. Not that Goodwill is bad or anything, just that the local programs are often very good at serving the local needy community. (And, like I said, they take stuff that Goodwill won't, like vacuum cleaners and high chairs.)

Yeah I've done it too. I think the only slight catch is if you activated multiple games in a bundle with the same code/promo you only have the option to delete them all, not individual games, but that's an edge case.

Hearing them talk about Dusk left a really sour taste in my mouth. Figuring out what Jeff will or won't like feels really arbitrary sometimes. He praised Battle Princess Madelyn, a game he admitted "was just Ghouls 'n' Ghosts." Then, for Dusk we get "even if it was good, I don't care."

And Ben's point of "If I wanted to play this kind of game I'd just play Quake again" is almost actually insulting? It is so massively, sweepingly dismissive of not just indie games, but of even bigger budget games, too. That's like saying the existence of Final Fantasy 1 on the NES eliminates the need to play Ni No Kuni 2. Why play Super Mario Odyssey when you could just play Super Mario 64 again?

If you don't like the game, whatever. Everyone has different tastes. But "why play new game when I can go back to old game" is still a bad take, especially from someone who was on like, three or four Smash Bros. clone quicklooks last year.
