LucasFilm released Star Wars Trials on Tatooine and it looks really good and it's also free but I haven't tried it yet.

Yeah, I need to try it. I hear it is pretty resource intensive though, so I am not sure my rig can survive it. I am at the bottom of the high end rating in the SteamVR perf test.

Interesting. What video card do you have on your PC?

Will_Ball Game Mod Super Member Post Author wrote on 07/31/2016 at 01:25am

I have a 780ti. I ran Trials last night in low settings. The only reasons to try it out is because Star Wars and Free. It is a demo through and through. Not much to do, other than look at star wars stuff and swing a lightsaber. That said, seeing r2-d2 and the millennium falcon was kind of cool (although at the low setting, the textures looked like they were straight out of the N64). Oh, and it requires a 2.4m x 2.4m minimum room setup. I have 2.1m x 2.1m. I ran it despite the warnings, and it was fine. I may try it out on medium setting and see if it makes me vomit, or if frame rate is fine.

Sega does what Nintendon't, 2016 edition: a mini-Genesis with expansion capability

The tiny console wars are upon us! In October, a mini-Genesis with 80 built-in games will be arriving.

This is coming in two versions, the one pictured, and a handheld version: https://i.imgur.com/ckF2hWc.png

Both versions retail for about $65 USD and are currently only available from a UK retailer.

Both have 80 built-in games, but they have expansion capabilities. The mini-console has a slot to play original Genesis carts, and the handheld has an SD card slot (so are they tacitly approving of downloading roms?).

So lets talk about those games! 80 of them! That's 50 more than the mini NES! Well, yes it is. But you'll only care about 40 of them probably. The remaining 40... Read All

Tricky! Composite, low-fi, but expandable, or high-def retro? What do you play on that still has composite connections? Are you rocking a tube TV?! Double retro! Seriously, I was considering finding a flat-screen tube to play SNES and PS1 games on. Those were the days...

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 07/27/2016 at 06:18am

Looks very similar to what I bought years ago. I honestly barely used it. Maybe I should find it and hook it up again. I never experienced the Mega Drive part of Sega, only the Genesis. I'd also like to note that TONS of Sega (Genesis and Mega Drive) games are available on Steam. I saw one package for over $100.

I love that it can play old Genesis carts, but there aren't any games preloaded that I'm really interested in. A play through of Altered Beast would probably be fun, and the Mortal Kombat games are cool, but this lineup has nothing that could stand up to the NES game lineup.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 07/27/2016 at 08:54pm

I have two HDTVs, one of them is a 720p from a few years back, the other is a 1080p 3D super-awesome smart TV thing. Both of them have composite connectors! You may not realize that you have them, sometimes the component connectors do double duty.

It feels like putting easy cheese on a meal at a swanky restaurant, but it still works pretty well to play the NES on a 1080p TV with composite.

Greg MegaDrive IS Genesis. They just renamed it for America for some reason. So the same hardware in Europe was called the MegaDrive. You might be thinking of the Master System, which came before the Megadrive/Genesis.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 07/28/2016 at 12:31am

That's good to know about the composite and component connectors.

Master System, Megadrive, Genesis, wow that's a lot. All I know is I only had experience with the Genesis and Game Gear. My cousin and friends owned a Genesis, while I owned a Game Gear.

Anyway, here are some related packages I found on Steam.
Sonic games collection on Steam for $113: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/90504/
Sega Genesis and MegaDrive collection on Steam for $62: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/102625/

It's only two though! The master system came out around the time of the NES. It's in that generation. Then the MegaDrive came out in the next generation.

I think there was a trademark issue so in North America they had to call it Genesis instead.

Star Wars Celebration 2016 Wrap Up Part II + Rogue One Panel

LucasFilm is slowly releasing all the panel videos from Star Wars Celebration 2016 and as i've been watching them, I have another batch to share.

Maybe I've fallen for the trick, but just seeing it in action makes it feel that much more tempting. I'm not sure if I'll get it, but I haven't ruled it out completely. It would be awesome if it wasn't strictly limited to those 30 games. It would be sweet if it included the entire NES library (although probably more expensive).

They'd have to clear more game licenses which would bump the price a bit. Nintendo owns quite a bit of those games, but not all of them.

I'm not sure what other games I'd love to see on it, but I agree that DuckTales should be one of them. (BTW I wrote "Duck Tales" in a previous post and the Internet shows it's name as "DuckTales," so that's why I've written it that way here.)

Warrio's Woods would've been great also (but the SNES version looked better :) ) ... Still $60 for 30 games on a little console with a re-usable controller... that's awesome for me. I'll get one and a second controller launch day and play with the kids :)

Terraria 1.3.2 Adds In Game Parties, Items & More

Have you always wanted to have a party in Terraria? Well now the Party Girl or certain other NPC's will throw one under certain conditions you set up. As with any new feature, they don't say what they conditions are but I imagine it will come to the wiki at some point.

When we run our next server we should throw a party.

I'm not really interested in the party update, but I really like this picture! I also love the "when we run our next server" part of your post here! I miss playing Terraria with my fellow Cheerful Ghosts. Our next server should definitely be on Expert Mode. I'm confident that we can handle it together.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 07/24/2016 at 04:27am

Yeah, expert mode isn't a bad idea BUT the downside is it discourages a bit more casual play as it's hard as hell. PLUS if people come in after we've played for a bit, they will get steamrolled by hardmode.

That said, expert would be fun!

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 07/24/2016 at 04:45am

Well me and Vinny together have done pretty well on our Expert mode world, surprisingly. I've enjoyed almost all of the Expert mode rewards, but not all of them. The Slime mount most definitely helps against Eater of Worlds, although that's not the Expert mode reward. That one makes slimes friendly, even if you attack them. The Bee Gun is a great weapon against Skeletron, although again not an Expert mode reward. I've defeated some of the Expert mode bosses on my own, but not all of them. We haven't gone up against the Wall of Flesh yet, but they're definitely tougher. I think we were only able to defeat King Slime because we had a nearby hole in a hill where he couldn't get to us, but we could hit him with boomerangs, although his slime companions came after us. Still, with two or three of us with the right gear and the arena we usually use, we should be good. But yeah, it would be more difficult for casual play and those who join in late or don't play much, I can see that as an issue.

An interesting environmental change. I wonder if they'll just be purely cosmetic or if perhaps they'll give a debuff. It does snow instead of rain in the snowy biomes, but a blizzard would be cool. Maybe they could add hurricanes for the beaches, too.

I know the next update has to do with the underground desert as can be seen in one of her other tweets, perhaps even on the forum and wiki.

Starbound Launches Today! What Do You Think?

"You’ve fled your home, only to find yourself lost in space with a damaged ship. Your only option is to beam down to the planet below and gather the resources you need to repair your ship and set off to explore the vast, infinite universe…"

Starbound launched today and to help celebrate I installed 1.0 and gave it a shot. I'll have a more formal review later but my initial impression is mixed. That said, I am curious what others think of 1.0 and how you are playing it?

What did you think of the opening story mode?

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 07/23/2016 at 05:15am

Thanks for posting this, I was going to ask you if we should. I thought maybe a few of us had the same thought again and there might be another double post, which happens sometimes. "Great minds think alike," after all!

Steam says I've already clocked about 300 hours in the game, so I've obviously played it quite a few times before 1.0 came out. At first, I think I went with the Avian, but once the Novakid race was released, I've been sticking with that one. I'm not really playing it much differently than before with the exception of the new story quest line. I've done some side quests, particularly for the tech upgrades. I still have all of my current crafting stations on my ship, but my ship can't really hold any more, so I may have to expand on to the planet.

I thought the opening was cool, although not very unique. How many games open up with waking up and running late for something? Still, I'm ok with that. Seeing the tentacles was cool because I remembered that was a planetary biome. I just watched a video (https://youtu.be/aDezPK-fceo) which explained many changes that are included in 1.0, like planets now have a variety of biomes instead of just focusing on one on the whole planet.

The Outpost seemed to run not very smoothly, so I went into the Nvidia Control Panel and turned on Vsync for the game. I haven't tested whether or not that fixed the issue. I've also run into an issue where I clicked "take all" on a chest and didn't get everything until I clicked it twice. Also, I don't know how to tell how many pixels (currency) I have.

Anyway, it's cool and so far I like what I've seen. It's nice to have been a part of an Early Access game and watching it evolved to 1.0.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 07/24/2016 at 04:26am

> I thought the opening was cool, although not very unique. How many games open up with waking up and running late for something?

I don't want to spoil my initial review, but I will a bit. The intro story seemed really slap-dash. That said, why does this game need a narrative? It seems so out of place to me.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 07/24/2016 at 04:36am

I think having a narrative helps drive progression. Telling a story is cool. However, Terraria doesn't have that same kind of narrative and it's perfect as it is, so I see your point.

hardeyez wrote on 07/24/2016 at 07:41pm

I'm so excited about this -- I totally thought it was next week (had July 29th in my head not the 22nd) so it's an even better surprise. I have over 340 hours in it, but that's a bit inflated as I'd have a server up for my kids some of that time. But playing through it every major release so I'm keen to play with what's new as I was avoiding nightlies to see it in it's full glory.

GregoPeck I assume there are still ship upgrades in there, so upgrade that to get more space :)

Time to spin up a new character and new universe again to run through it clean...

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 07/24/2016 at 07:52pm

Yeah there are ship upgrades, but from what I saw, you get those now from having crew members, so the process isn't as straightforward as before. Perhaps my understanding of the new way is incorrect. I do some pieces, but I don't think that option is available to me just yet.

I did finally build on my starting planet. I made a small place for some of my crafting pieces of equipment. I also bought a new Colony Deed and got someone to move in. Then I had to help her rescue a friend, who also moved in. Now she wants me to build a new place with furniture that a Glitch would like to get one to move in.

You still don't need fuel if you're travelling to planets within the solar system you're already in. That's quite helpful. I scanned most of the things I needed for a quest, but have to find the remaining things I'm missing.

I just bought the game for my son, he's working on getting it installed.

hardeyez wrote on 08/10/2016 at 12:16am

there are multiple ways to upgrade your ship... :) Although it's still difficult. I'm wearing tier 5 armor, I'm about 1/6th of the way through the main quest, and I've still only upgraded the ship once. Space is a premium on there for sure.

While I never played the original (or spinoffs) I played both versions of Divinity II, totaling ~200 hours of my life. Pro-tip: If you own Ego Draconis, your save does NOT carry over to TDKS as they have different coding. That's due to Atlus buying the title and re-releasing it as TDKS.

Divinity II is an RPG style of gameplay by modern standards. Third person rear-view, run around, open combat, etc. Original Sin (the most recent installment) plays out like a Pathfinder or D&D game. It's actually really tough, even on easy, which I feel is on purpose. That's how a good Pathfinder/D&D game goes. Everything is turn/round based as you would expect, based on initiative ratings. There are saving throws (automatic) skills, perks, base stats, feats, etc.

You start off with two characters, which you can customize. However, pick your class before customizing skills/stats or they get reset and you have to do it over. You can even choose the AI Personality, which chooses how they act during conversations and decisions, as well as how they will react to what you do/say. You can also choose "No Personality" to manually choose how they will react to every situation, sometimes leading to a mini-game to decide who will win the argument. It's Rock, Paper, Scissors. You can switch between your party members at any time, and even separate the group to deal with traps.

You can have up to 4 members in your party, and honestly it can get to be a bit much. The good news is, you can play solo, couch-co-op or online co-op. That takes some of the burden off. Each of you then takes control of the main characters (leading to some interesting experiences), and can control either of the other party members at will. This also makes splitting the loot more interesting.

I got this game on an amazing deal on the Xbox One at 74% off. I would have been willing to pay the full price for this game. It truly does an amazing job of giving you the pencil & paper experience without the need for erasing and getting new sheets. The only other thing, is so far, you don't get the full 100% freedom of say, choosing a killer out of 3 suspects, you have to investigate to find the 100% without-a-doubt killer. That could also be a DM decision, where the Guard Captain wouldn't believe you without irrefutable proof. I also understand that this isn't meant to have the freedom of Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishment, so I'm not really upset about it.

Anyone who has ever enjoyed pencil & paper RPG's should pick this up. It's got a 60+ hour campaign and is worth every penny.

Everyones Favorite Corn Farming Game Stardew Valley Comes To Mac and Linux July 29th!

The developer of StardewValley tweeted some amazingly terrible news today.

"Quick Update: Mac & Linux are set to be launched on the 29th! Multiplayer, localizations, and the version 1.1 update are still in progress."

Well see on one hand that's good because the reason I haven't picked it up yet is because Stardew Valley lacked a Mac port so now that's solved. On the other hand it's terrible as I am sure all my free time will go down a virtual farming hole. A few Twitter fans asked ConcernedApe some questions about what tech they used to port the game.

"ConcernedApe: It was done with Monogame, as a milestone in the progress toward releasing console versions!"

The Death Of The Platformer (For Me)

Perhaps it was driven by availability, but growing up, I very much enjoyed platforming games. Super Mario Bros 3, Mega Man, Duck Tales, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; heck, I even played the crap out of Barbie for the NES, because my family owned it, so I played it.

But lately, I've found I'm drawn less and less to platforming games. I bought the remastered version of Duck Tales, and played through about half of it. Shovel Knight came and went without me finding any interest in it. Even Mighty No 9 doesn't interest me, at all, when I loved the game series it was modeled after.

I've been trying to figure out why, and it's finally occurred to me.

Roguelike/Roguelite games... Read All

Travis Admin wrote on 07/20/2016 at 09:48pm

I was interested in Mighty No 9. I'm not anymore, but that's not because it's a platformer :D

I like that you mentioned Duck Tales. I remember playing it when I was about 12. I enjoyed it. I haven't looked at the remastered version, but (since you remind me) I may. I enjoyed Mega Man back then, too. I do have the Legacy Collection on Steam, which at least looks so much better, but I've hardly played it. I was a big TMNT fan back then, too, and had that Gameboy game. I also enjoyed Super Mario, but the first SMB game on Gameboy was difficult, at least that's what I remember of it. My gaming was somewhat limited to a Commodore 128D and a Gameboy. My cousin, however, had a Gameboy, NES, and Sega Genesis. So, I always enjoyed visiting him and playing a variety of games with him. In fact, I strongly believe those moments are what I cherish most of my childhood memories.

At present, however, I'm really not interested in platform games. In recent years I've found Mario games to be much more frustrating than fun. I haven't tried Super Mario Maker, but my son has played it.

These days I think I'm more interested in games that feature an open world, exploration, RPG elements, crafting, and surviving. I am looking forward to the new Zelda game which seems to contain many of those elements.

jdodson Admin wrote on 07/21/2016 at 02:37am

Adam,

I think a more apt post title would be "PLATFORMING IS DEAD!"

Fun aside, I mostly agree with your opinion here. Like Travis I played Shovel Knight and it's very good. But it didn't hook me like it has with others. It's a good game, but playing the exact same level in hopes that, "this time I'll actually beat it" isn't as much fun to me these days.

Conversely I __love__ Risk of Rain, which is a rogue like platformer. Each play through is different and you can unlock new characters for some really fun and different abilities. It's more learning the game mechanics and strategies and less a bout memorizing a level.

Rogue Legacy is also pretty good and if you are interested they have a demo you can try.
