MegaMan 11 - Tizoc

The Blue Bomber returns in a new 2D Action Platformer, now equipped with the Double Gear. The Double Gear is a new ability that grants Megaman the ability to either slow down time, using the Speed Gear, which can come in handy in tight situations or some tricky platforming section, or to gain a large attack boost using the Power Gear. The Gears are assigned to 2 buttons and you can even set up your controls so that you don't need to use them! If you're in the mood for some traditional 2D Action platforming, then Megaman 11 is your go to game.​



SoulCalibur VI - Tizoc

The Soul series makes it debut on Steam, featuring over 20 characters including Geralt from the Witcher series.​
Following in from previous entries, the game features a Create a character mode (Libra of Soul) wherein you can create your character customizing their look and moves, in addition character's armor takes damage and should a character's armor be broken they will take more damage from attacks. The game will also feature a story mode in the form of Soul Chronicle that features an interactive timeline with the cast of the game.​

Call of Cthulhu - Okingjrr

A narrative driven psychological horror game based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft and the Call of Cthulhu pen and paper RPG by Chaosium.​
Edward Pierce must uncover the truth behind the mysterious death of a painter and her family on the remote island of Darkwater. But the deeper he goes into this investigation, the clearer it becomes that this island has more secrets than meets the eye. It's up to you keep your grasp on what's real or risk losing your sanity.​

It's out just in time for halloween, and the developers seem to have nailed the atmosphere the Lovecraft stories and mythos. It has branching paths based on the information you've gathered through dialogue with NPCs and your discoveries along the way, the sanity system also affects your choices, so you've got to manage how engulfed in crazy you want your character to be.​
You should check this out if you're in the mood for a fun little RPG-ish horror game this month.​


Assassin’s Creed Odyssey - Uzzy

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, developed by Ubisoft Quebec, is the latest in the long running historical saga/RPG/collectathon/look you’ve played a modern AAA game I’m sure, you know what genre we’re talking about here/romance simulator. You play as one of two protagonists, Kassandra and the wrong one, sailing and riding around Greece during the Peloponnesian War, acting as a mercenary and fighting for either Athens or Sparta. Or maybe you’re actually playing as a modern day character, hooked into the animus, and reliving those genetic memories while on the search for some mystical first civilisation artefact. It’s complicated and I’m not even sure Ubisoft knows what’s actually going on anymore.​

Ubisoft’s quest to create the platonic ideal of the video game continues, by moving onto Bioware’s turf in Odyssey and adding in dialogue choices and even romance options to the expected mix of naval combat, stealth mechanics, horse riding, collecting thousands of things, fighting off other mercenaries, climbing rock hard giant penises, fighting in large scale battles, going on quests and levelling up your character in a huge open world. But now you get to listen to Kassandra’s adorkable dialogue while banging the quest givers wife. Hellas yes.​

ohhhh, that's right ... how's all the VR stuff going for you? :)


It's a slippery slope to quickly running out of cash, I can tell you that :D

So far, I've bought Raw Data, Sairento, Pavlov, Compound, Dead Effect 2, Space Pirate Trainer, Apex Construct, Lethal VR and Fallout 4 VR. My brother gifted me Beat Saber (funnily enough, it's the game I played the most so far).
Out of the ones I bought, Sairento, Compound and Space Pirate Trainer got the most playtime but I fully intend to play each one of them a lot.

Gotta say, this Windows Mixed Reality thing is actually quite amazing considering its limitations (and price compared to the competing solutions here in Argentina). It's so weird that they didn't do any marketing, this could have been the hardware that made VR mainstream.

that's MS for ya ... they did the same thing with w10m - the best mobile OS out there (still!) ... but they didn't bother to really market it in any meaningful way ... and then just left it to die :(

glad you're having fun with all those games, though! and yeah, i can see why Beat Saber is your most played ... i love rhythm games :D

Yeah, but one would think that at least the hardware partners would try to market their stuff. Like, Dell is shutting down production on the Visor, and they didn't even market it anywhere. The Alienware Twitch/Youtube channel has a semi-regular show called VR FTW where they showcase VR stuff (in my opinion it doesn't work very well because it's hard to show VR content in a normal screen but oh well, that's another discussion) and they NEVER showcased the Dell Visor there, just Oculus and Vive. Crazy, really.

Regarding Beat Saber, it's just perfect. I don't like most of the songs they have right now, so I got a mod that lets you install custom songs and now I get lost in the game every time I fire it up.

yeah, that's EXACTLY what i'm talking about ... MS put really awesome tech (at least specs-wise) out there .... got a few partners on board .... and never really bothered to market it in any meaningful way

and i suspect the partners themselves don't really care all that much since they're low-cost headsets (relatively) and they probably only really produced them because MS gave them a big bag of cash for it ... so it's no wonder they don't bother to advertise them either

real shame :(

yeah, that's the real strength of all rhythm games - custom songs ... always was, always will be :D

Damn, that BATTLETECH Season Pass is really tempting me :D

I never finished the base game because it kinda ran like crap, should probably check it out again (I played like 20 hours and then decided to wait for patches)

I'm so all over that re-release of Double Switch!

I'm a sucker for FMV titles (I own that game for the Mega CD), and it's a lot of fun. I actually like it better than Night Trap.
Plus, it has a cast that includes the late Corey Haim, Camille Cooper (from Wes Craven's Shocker), R. Lee Ermey, Debbie Harry (from Blondie), and a soundtrack by Thomas Dolby.
It's a lot of (silly) fun!

I did a separate thread, before this community thread was up, to do a giveaway for a couple of games.

With this thread finally up, I'm reposting here, for some visibility, There's still just over 24 hours left in this giveaway, if anyone doesn't have the games already, do enter, they are worth it.


Like I mentioned, I'm doing a small giveaway for two games.

They are:


A) Hollow Knight

One of the most critically acclaimed Metroidvania titles in recent years, Hollow Knight is a fun indie game that mixes classic side-scrolling action gameplay and exploration, with a beautifully hand drawn art style.



B) Day of the Tentacle Remastered

Day of the Tentacle is a classic point and click adventure game, originally released by LucasArts in 1993. 25 years later, it’s still one of my favourite games in the genre.
This remastered edition lets you switch between the original, and remastered visuals, plus it includes a few extras (and, like the original game, its prequel Maniac Mansion is “hidden” inside it).

---

To participate, please drop me a PM, with the subject “Giveaway: A)” for Hollow Knight, and “Giveaway: B)” for Day of the Tentacle Remastered.
Entries will be open until 12 pm (GMT) on Saturday, the 20th. I'll contact the winners afterwards.




Good luck! ;)

I know the feeling... ;)

I bought or pre-ordered so many games in the last two months, I now have a significant backlog of titles to tackle, and not much time available, nor money left. :eek:

I would like to pick up at least Call of Cthulhu for Halloween, but it will probably have to wait.

Nice to see another new thread ^_^
I'll just multitask between here and resetera I imagine :p

It's also nice to see some others who are looking forward to Call of Cthulhu, it's going under the radar it seems.
