Long Ass Games Make Me Nervous


Posted on 11/22/2014 at 11:06 PM | Filed Under Blogs

Dragon Age is my wife's favorite series, so she has been so excited to get her hands on Inquisition. She liked DAII as well. It's not the sequel people expected but it's certainly not a bad game.

Might I suggest PS+ games for the game club? Seems like there's quite a few of us subscribers on here, and it'd be nice to have some extra incentive to play Thomas Was Alone or The Cave or a bunch of those other games I haven't touched lol.

Episode 58: Free to Play

I'm one of those people who listens to the podcast on my daily commute, so it usually takes a couple of days to get through it and then a couple of days to get around to commenting...if I can remember what it is I was going to say, that is. 

You guys talked about iOS a lot (I remember that much!) and I've always been fond of iOS gaming. It can't supplant traditional gaming but there is a lot of fun to be had. You guys mentioned, though, how you usually go with free-to-play games to avoid the risk that comes with buying games you know nothing about. I get around this problem with by using Touch Arcade, which is a site all about iOS gaming. Their mobile app has an awesome feature called the Watch List. When you put a game in your Watch List, the app will notify you whenever the game is updated or there's a price change. By reading the site and poking around in their forums I've garnered a pretty huge Watch List and so have gotten a ton of paid games for free just by being patient. Using their app is an easy recommendation to make.

As for actual free-to-play games, I think the last one I really sunk significant time into was Disco Zoo but that was a good, I don't know, six months ago. Cool game though. You play a little Battleship-esque game to collect animals for your ever-growing zoo. There have been some updates since then, including one that took things into space, but I never did get back to it after maxing everything out initially. I downloaded Monster Strike after listening to the show but haven't tried it yet. Sounds like fun!

Angelo, you worried me for a second when you mentioned Backloggers and then said you were playing Amnesia. I was afraid I had missed something! But I checked my podcasts and saw nothing new, so I guess that's just a personal thing? That's probably just as well. My second son is just two-and-a-half months old, which means I'm still getting up a lot in the middle of the night. I probably would not want that game on my mind!

Anyway, good job rocking the two-man show, guys. Looking forward to the next one.

Danganronpa Series!

I really want to play these but I still I have the two most recent Phoenix Wright games, not to mention 999 and Virtual's Last Reward, to play. They look really good though.

I think Operation Darkness came out so early that the PS3 wasn't a viable dev option yet. I remember reading an interview somewhere at some point lol. But you're right, it definitely would be a better fit on the PS3. Too bad it never got an enhanced port or something. I'm not familiar with Darkest Days though.

I'm super bummed—and ashamed!—that I didn't get in any good Halloween gaming (well, I did start Costume Quest). I've heard that the Tower mode in Darkstalkers is really hard too Undecided

Jeff highly recommended Gauntlet IV, so I'm looking forward to playing it. I'll be sure to pay attention to the music. I had forgotten that there was a reboot o_O

Very cool! I look forward to seeing more of the finished product Smile How do you and Chessa divvy up dev duties? Obviously you're the programmer...

I got to the Batman spoiler part of the show and here I am, looking for the promised time stamp to skip ahead. Can somebody help me out? I probably will read Batman 35 (at Death of the Family right now) and don't want it spoiled.

I'm betting it looks really great on the PS4 Smile

Another week, another...wait, what have I been doing?

Wonder Woman? I know almost nothing about her but maybe the library has her New 52 book. 

My older son has already shown a healthy interest in controllers and recently took a liking to Kirby. It's a good start Smile

I think this season of Doctor Who took longer than usual to get going but I've really enjoyed it. There have been some great stories. The first half of the season finally that aired this last saturday was really good too.
