 Sun May 04 15:39:44 +0000 2014

There are a bunch: arcade port, X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Rebel Assault, Dark Forces & Star Wars Chess. Am I forgetting something?

 Sun May 04 15:41:29 +0000 2014

I'm not into Star Wars games, personally. Mostly because I don't really like Star Wars.

 Sun May 04 15:44:16 +0000 2014

Both X-Wing & TIE Fighter get pretty difficult for me to enjoy. I don't like games like Rebel Assault & have no idea how to play chess.

of course. But they are pretty great sci-fi adventure flicks for kids. Especially considering their age

Man, so the new Tex Murphy game is just that. A new Tex Murphy game :) And I'm fucking loving it!

 Thu May 08 02:37:53 +0000 2014

Fan service in Tesla Effect is cranked up to 200 :D

 Thu May 08 02:42:05 +0000 2014

Eh. I waited for sixteen years, so I don't mind

 Thu May 08 02:59:15 +0000 2014

I'm loving it so far. I missed old Tex. I'm playing and smiling right now.

 Thu May 08 03:39:47 +0000 2014

Are you still playing that awful game?

 Thu May 08 12:09:38 +0000 2014

Why am I at work when I should be playing Tesla Effect?

 Thu May 08 12:40:14 +0000 2014

Brace yourself for a 14 gig download

 Thu May 08 13:09:01 +0000 2014

It's funny how the new Tex Murphy game has all the same problems its predecessors had & I assume that's what the press will whine about

 Thu May 08 13:11:58 +0000 2014

But, honestly, this is so far the Kickstarted game I'm enjoying the most. All I wanted was a Tex Murphy game and that's exactly what I got.

 Thu May 08 13:13:57 +0000 2014

It's like Tex never left!

 Thu May 08 13:14:10 +0000 2014

I assume their second round of backer emails is going to have GOG codes.

 Thu May 08 13:14:54 +0000 2014

A bit bummed out that there are never any video sprites in the.3D world & no one ever says goodbye, but I can live without that.

 Thu May 08 13:17:28 +0000 2014

I cannot describe how intensely I stared at the screen for the five hours it took to download. I couldn't wait another minute

 Thu May 08 13:21:17 +0000 2014

I'm having so much fun playing it. They changed NOTHING

 Thu May 08 13:24:53 +0000 2014

It's back to being goofy. I kept laughing out loud! Multiple paths too, from the looks of it

 Thu May 08 13:29:59 +0000 2014

I think the rumors of its length have been greatly exaggerated

 Thu May 08 13:35:48 +0000 2014

I'm pretty sure it's gonna get a beating for being antiquated. All usual Tex Murphy problems are still here

 Thu May 08 13:37:55 +0000 2014

I made it to day 3 on only a couple of hours. I don't see it being that long

 Thu May 08 13:39:34 +0000 2014

Yes, it's all there. But I'm loving it because, well, it's exactly what I expected and it didn't let me down. I'm very pleased

 Thu May 08 13:41:24 +0000 2014

in fact, I think making a decision of NOT trying to improve it was a very smart move on their part. It's Fan Service: The Game.

 Thu May 08 13:42:43 +0000 2014

yep. a game for fans. A sequel that could have come out in early 2000s. The series isn't known for clever puzzles or great acting

 Thu May 08 13:47:01 +0000 2014

I'm actually VERY surprised by how much content they managed to create on such a limited budget. Impressive.

 Thu May 08 13:48:59 +0000 2014

however, something tells me that this isn't going to be a commercial success.

 Thu May 08 13:49:43 +0000 2014

as much as I liked the first half of Broken Age, I agree that it's somewhat of a letdown in many ways.

 Thu May 08 13:50:48 +0000 2014

But please, let's not argue about that

Just read IGN's review of Tesla Effect and yeah, somehow I feel that's what the majority of the reviews are going to be like.

 Thu May 08 14:29:10 +0000 2014

I don't quite understand the complaints. Yes, those are legitimate issues with it, BUT that's just perfectly in line with previous games

 Thu May 08 14:30:56 +0000 2014

Tex Murphy games were NEVER known for clever puzzles or Academy Award winning acting.

 Thu May 08 14:32:05 +0000 2014

Just be happy that you have more than three fucking active spots per screen with a unique remark about each one, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES!

 Thu May 08 14:33:23 +0000 2014

"Oh, it's all about talking to the same bunch of people over and over until your whisked away at the end" HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED THESE GAMES??

 Thu May 08 14:34:33 +0000 2014

And 15-20 hours of gameplay with at least SOME branching??? Go suck your favorite 3 hour long one click adventure game's dick, Mr Critic!

 Thu May 08 14:38:19 +0000 2014

Nope, but I played enough to know what the game is like

 Thu May 08 14:39:02 +0000 2014

Dated visuals? Have you seen the budget or the size the team???

 Thu May 08 14:48:40 +0000 2014

I bet Tesla Effect will make more fans happy than any other crowdsourced revival. Fans who gave their money to see it made in the 1st place!

 Thu May 08 14:50:16 +0000 2014

I would like to take this moment to point out that Tesla Effect is more Under a Killing Moon than The Pandora Directive. And I'm cool w that

So I complement the team for having the balls to repeat something that their fans love without trying to modernize it.

That's EXACTLY what I mean! I'd rather have a flawed game that works, rather than be disappointed by tacked on improvements

You can run it in XP with a software decoder and it works fine until you hit one of two game breaking bugs.

Do you have Windows 8? Because then it's not going to work like that. You need to switch the decoder.

Design of DOOM as we know it is mostly Romero

 Sat May 10 16:14:18 +0000 2014

A bunch of people made maps, but initial aesthetic was created by Romero, all the mapping tools & most of other systemic things too

 Sat May 10 16:27:44 +0000 2014

Yeah, but Romero did all the coding Carmack didn't do. Weapons, monsters, etc. All very integral to DOOM's actual gameplay

 Sat May 10 16:56:23 +0000 2014

but yeah, DOOM is a very collective effort. A perfect one. I agree with this completely: http://youtu.be/TyOF2RsO3ck

 Mon May 12 23:07:22 +0000 2014

My Luc Besson collection. Used to be complete, but I refuse to buy movies he made recently

 Mon May 12 23:08:29 +0000 2014

Well, I also have Besson's short L'avant dernier (1981) and its feature remake Le Dernier Combat (1983) with him...

 Mon May 12 23:11:49 +0000 2014

Well, neither are very interesting to be honest, but Subway establishes his style 100%.

 Mon May 12 23:16:52 +0000 2014

I have avoided it, but I might check it out before his next movie Lucy comes out. Honestly, I think the dude lost it.

 Mon May 12 23:20:34 +0000 2014

I have, however, seen his so-called kids film Adele Blanc-Sec and bioflick The Lady. Both not very good.

 Mon May 12 23:21:23 +0000 2014

HE CO-WROTE GUY RITCHIE'S REVOLVER????????????

 Mon May 12 23:22:41 +0000 2014

His kids film had a surprise nude scene in the middle of it...

 Mon May 12 23:25:31 +0000 2014

I actually really like Revolver. I think it's better than, let's say, Rock-n-Rolla.

 Mon May 12 23:27:02 +0000 2014

Revolver is something completely different for Ritchie. Dare I say quite Lynch-ean. While Rock-n-Rolla seemed like a self-repeat.

 Mon May 12 23:30:09 +0000 2014

I do it every half a year or so. :)

 Mon May 12 23:32:32 +0000 2014

Well, and look what happened to him

 Mon May 12 23:36:52 +0000 2014

It's not a thriller. I was really caught off guard by the movie and I really liked it.

 Mon May 12 23:37:45 +0000 2014

I don't think he cares.

 Mon May 12 23:37:56 +0000 2014

I like Ebert's writing a lot, but I almost never agree with reviews. He hated so many movies I loved & gave 3 stars to utter shit.

 Mon May 12 23:39:00 +0000 2014

Holy fuck! Only 17% on Rotten Tomatoes? That's gotta be the lowest score for a movie I enjoyed.

 Mon May 12 23:40:08 +0000 2014

After looking at the Rotten Tomatoes page, I'm not so sure anymore :)

 Mon May 12 23:40:49 +0000 2014

I've seen one of those too... :/

 Mon May 12 23:54:57 +0000 2014

Unfortunately this sums up my feeling perfectly: https://x.com/richardcobbett/status/464784529891532801 But first few hours are magical.

 Mon May 12 23:56:32 +0000 2014

It's been days since I finished Tesla Effect, yet the feeling of disappointment still looms over me. Such strong opening. Such a shame...

 Mon May 12 23:57:56 +0000 2014

Oh, they are not impossible at all. It's just the awful Day 5 and the contrast of quality afterwards.

 Wed May 14 12:39:52 +0000 2014

Yeah. Not the most intuitive piece of software. I prefer not to use any of its drawing features.

 Wed May 14 12:42:46 +0000 2014

I'm using it for sprites and backgrounds in my current project :)

 Wed May 14 12:46:01 +0000 2014

in my case it really helps because my game controls like a dungeon crawler, I can use its 3D features to make rooms

I'd say a dead end can end in death if an action that's required to avoid it is impossible to backtrack to.

 Thu May 15 13:58:39 +0000 2014

That's essentially a #1 thing in a bad puzzle design book. The player is required to pre-solve the puzzle before it's presented

to him. Which is, of course, impossible. So then it's restart and do over. Bad.
