Aborted Game Thread Thread

So, a lot of games come out and our tastes vary pretty dramatically. This topic is for discussing games that, if given their own topic, would likely die 10 posts in.

The PC version of Resident Evil 5 came out today. Aside from higher resolution and sharper graphics, the absolute best addition are controls that aren't terrible. While walking, Chris turns as fast as you move the mouse. You can still quick turn but you can also quick-turn by jerking the mouse and it doesn't feel as wonky as I expected it to be. Best of all, the inventory screen uses the mouse cursor with one click equips! Right click to equip the selected item, press "v" to give it to Sheva, or left click to use it. Much quicker than using the d-pad.

The one addition that might **** people off is that the aiming is now realistic. By that I mean the cross hairs (it's no longer a laser sight) will waver as Chris breathes. The sensitivity of the mouse is super tight so it's not really a problem. Better guns reduce the wavering.





TOTAL WORLD SATURATION

Isn't the frame rate supposed to be a lot smoother, too? Running on good PCs, of course.

I plan on renting the PC version of RE5 when I get a good rig. Since I didn't finish it when I rented it on 360. I got up to the part with the first gatling gun dude and got frustrated then bored then my sis and her kids came for a visit so I had other stuff to do. By the time I got back around to it I didn't even want to play anymore.

Or I could just re-rent it on 360 before I sell it, whatevs.

Anyone play Little King Story? I've had my eye on it since it was announced but I was busy playing other stuff. I hear it sold like garbage which comes as no surprise because most people who own a Wii don't actually like videogames.

You can't rent PC games.

And if you can whoever is doing the renting is either your friend or some business that is really dumb.

Oh. Well then I'll trade for it on Goozex and then trade it back.

Dragon Quest Wars came out today on DSiWare. It's a cute turn based strategy game that features online duels among other modes. The biggest downfall is that you only have 6 monsters to choose from. $5 for what you get is a good value but I can only hope they actually update this game with new monsters because not only is it the best DSiWare game (which isn't saying much) but it's a peak into what the DSi is possible of releasing in terms of digital distribution exclusive games.

Hey, I really liked Goemon's Great Adventure.

I played Little King Story and I thought it was boring and slow. I gave it about 2 hours.

Dude, you get to throw people at cows in Little King's Story

Re: Aborted Game Thread Thread

I'd been keeping track of Little King's Story before it came out, and was thinking about picking it up, but there are just so many other games this year that I figured I'd wait until a price drop.

I'm 1/3 of the way through the Monkey Island remake. I can see why it's considered a classic. I wish Quest for Glory would get the remake treatment.

Re: Aborted Game Thread Thread

Quest For Glory got some nice fan-remakes for 1-3, I really want one for 4 and 5 though as 4 has too many glitches that make it so you can't finish and 5 is unplayable on modern computers.
