* Mapleguy555 pulls out his -iron sword-.

Let the games begin.

[Shakerag]

I'll vote for Choppy.  If you win, please give us (or just me >_>) a report as to what you think of the game.

I'll vote for Choppy.  If you win, please give us (or just me >_>) a report as to what you think of the game.

I can do that for you, as I recently bought the game. If you want to hear my two cents, open the spoiler. If you don't care to, eh, don't sweat it.

Spoiler: Personal Thoughts on Sir (click to show/hide)

WARNING: I have not played the game for a terribly long time, so my review may not be the best thing to depend on. They are the thoughts of a person who has played for a couple of hours. Still, I think a lot of the points I make still apply to the entirety of the game.

The game is clever, but imperfect, and to be honest, it feels incomplete.

Pros:

- Visuals are very pretty, and the style can be both charming and creepy. If you decide to get the game, watch the ocean when you walk near it. You will be afraid.

- The feel of the game is very well done. I honestly felt like I was being hunted. It's the kind of feeling that gets your heart pumping and makes you flinch every time you hear a gunshot. It's fantastic.

- Stealth system works well (it had better, since that's a core game element).

Cons:
(I wrote a lot on these to point out what I thought was bad. More text does not equal more bad. It's just more explanation.)

- Not enough items. The most varying items in the game are the weapons, which you are not incredibly likely to find (seriously - I have found zero weapons in my several hour long game - the only reason I know about the weapons is because I've seen videos and read up more on the game). Aside from the weapons, there are a few distraction items, which are kind of lackluster, apart from alarm clocks... and the there are literally items in this game that serve NO PURPOSE, and there are a lot of them. Why are they there? Who knows. I guess the devs decided that there wasn't enough random junk cluttering the houses you raid. Which leads to con number 2.

- You can't enter the houses. Yes, this was a design decision, and part of it was that the devs couldn't invest a lot of time into making housing interiors or the 3d models for the items that would have to be lying around everywhere. Still, it makes the game feel substantially less... populated, despite the fact that there are robot psychopaths trying to murder you. It also means most sneaking is done outside, which I'm sorry to say makes it a lot duller.

- There aren't enough options during encounters. You will walk around until you find a fragment, distract the robots patrolling around it (probably with a clock or a thrown bottle) nab the thing, run until you lose them, then deliver the fragment to the standing stones. And then you'll do it again. And again. And again. The only difference in the formula is sometimes you'll be going for buildings instead of fragments in order to get supplies, and as the game progresses the enemies become more deadly (the new adversaries will spot you easier and do a lot more damage). I myself have not tried to FIGHT the robots (I didn't get a weapon) but the thing is, ammo is so scarce that even if you had a gun, it would quickly become useless.

To summarize, it's a very functional stealth game that is simply... lackluster. Apart from the visuals, that is. It suffers from a lack of things for the player to experiment with, a lack of things for the player to find, a lack of things to make the player excited. Seriously - the thing that made me most excited was seeing new enemies appearing, and most of that excitement was overcome with dread.

Also, I'll be voting for Sirus.

Why is no one voting for the X-Com meets Fortress mode game?

[MaximumZero]

Voting for Vector's Ikaruga. Such a good game.

Then again, that may be delaying Victory Garden's latest project. Is this a good idea?

Much obliged.  I think I'll stick with playing State of Decay for now then.

It's research :3

Onward with Ikaruga, full steam ahead!

[Sinistar]

Why is no one voting for the X-Com meets Fortress mode game?

I feel like making an exception so I'll vote for n9103's entry. I didn't know about this game before and it looks like a blast so voting is the least I can do to show my appreciation. 


But that doesn't mean I wouldn't vote for all of you guys if only I could.

[sjm9876]

oooooh, hadn't heard of Isomer.

My thanks and my vote, n9103

[n9103]

Shadowlord Vs Sinistar

Round One

Sirus rolled 1d20 → [13] = (13)
Mapleguy555 rolled  1d20 → [2] = (2)
Mapleguy555 died in a hail of machine gun shots, artillery fire, and cat dander!

Choppy rolled 1d15+2 → [1,2] = (3)
n9103 rolled 1d20+2 → [4,2] = (6)
Choppy and n9103 were cordially invited for a pleasant afternoon with tea and crumpets. However, at a crucial moment, Choppy forgot to raise his pinky, branding himself an uncultured charlatan. He was summarily beaten to death with croquet mallets.

Vector rolled 1d20+1 → [4,1] = (5)
Bouchart rolled 1d18 → [3] = (3)
When Bouchart's triad came to assault Vector, he began to rapidly shift polarities. The rapid shifting of colors induced massive marijuana withdrawal within Bouchart and his triad members. They retired from their lives as violent criminals and began a peaceful life selling magical brownies that opened the shining metal doors to the adamantium pits. They were then slaughtered by Death Squad Officers who executed each of them with 13 bullets to the groin.

Shadowlord rolled 1d18 → [3] = (3)
Sinistar rolled 1d20 → [2] = (2)
Shadowlord and Sinistar were set against each other in an alchemy contest! Sinistar immediately left to go gather his tools, philosopher's stone, and purchase reagents. Shadowlord went outside, pulled out some grass and a mushroom that were growing, smashed them together in a mortar and pestle, conjured a potion bottle out of thin air, and poured the mixture in and called it a potion of fortify speed + 9001. After drinking the potion, he was suddenly overtaken by the need to urinate and did so. The urine exited at 1,000 times the speed of sound and pierced several dozen buildings before reaching the marketplace; where it speared the still-shopping Sinistar between the eyes.

Round Two

Sirus rolled 1d18 → [3] = (3)
n9103 rolled 1d20+2 → [12,2] = (14)
During his attempt to escape the horrors of war, Sirus wandered into n9103's alien base camp. After a period of excruciatingly painful probing; He was quickly converted into a brain bot armed with his former canine companion. After the planet was completely enslaved, he boarded the spaceship to follow his masters into space, but was sucked out of a broken window and died of fatal brain freeze.

Vector rolled  1d20+1 → [12,1] = (13)
Shadowlord rolled  1d20 → [19] = (19)
Did you hear the joke about Vector, the Dunmer, and the Nord? *Possible Racist Portions Excised* And that's how Shadowlord won.

Final Round

n9103 rolled  1d20+2 → [19,2] = (21)
Shadowlord rolled  1d20 → [10] = (10)
Shadowlord was accidentally intercepted by n9103's spaceship. As the ship continued to ascend out of the atmosphere, Shadowlord tried to grab the alien's attention.
But alas, in space, No one can hear you shout.

n9103 is the winner!

Winners PM me to receive your prizes.
