I've been playing Eldritch, a Lovecraft-inspired first-person Minecraft-y roguelike. It's actually kind of okay, but I feel is lacking in enough player involvement to really stand out above the rest. It's $1.49 on Steam until tomorrow, and for that I think it's fine. Definitely not worth the $14.99 regular price, though.
I have held down an A- rank in Splatoon for way longer than I expected. Came very close to touching A twice. I've stayed within this rank for more time than I would typically any of the B-/B/B+. I went up and down those like a roller coaster several times.
I've been getting back into endless legend, thanks to the new shadows expansion.
I'm currently trying to poison the Cultists to death with my spies, but they built on a territory with spice. So every time I start throwing bodies into their wells, they immediately press the Food Nitro. It's kind of depressing.
Endless Legend is like many other 4x games. I want to get into it and play it, but never get around playing it enough to learn it and get a good game going.

So true, I've been slowly working through the tutorial on that game.
Mad Max. It's essentially just highly polished Far Cry 3/4 but Mad Max themed. Doesn't really innovate much in terms of gameplay and it doesn't really convey the same feel as the movies (e.g. a dog eat dog wasteland starved for resources) as you can just constantly find fuel, water, ammo and scrap everywhere.

Looks like it combines the worst part of the Batman games and the worst part of Farcry and Ass Creed games together.

Pretty much, I wouldn't recommend it unless you like both Mad Max and open world RPGish games (which I do)
I'm pretty sure I'm over halfway done with Mario & Luigi Dream Team. It definitely fills that Mario & Luigi itch. My current gripe is that Special Attacks. I find them to be useless, especially the Luiginary attacks where most if them require balancing and moving your 3DS around. I'm no good at it and would rather just press buttons.
I don't plan on leveling up my Bros Points because I just do the main/basic attacks with jumps and hammers. I definitely dig the storyline and going into the Dream World thru Luigi. As always the characters are amusing and colorful and Luigi/Green Stache gets no respect.
Here's to getting it completed by 09/25, the day of reckoning.
Blew through Grow Home in about two and a half hours. Fun little game where you play the wobbliest goddamned robot in the universe climbing and balancing on a giant plant that you make grow in order to collect the seeds it will produce once reaching the stratosphere. I enjoyed the experience, and the ability to take a Red-Bull style free-fall space-dive at the end was fun too.
Shovel Knight free DLC Plague of Shadows is out! You play the game as the Plague Knight, all new soundtrack, tons of new mechanics. It's so good, why aren't you playing this right now?!

Because I already beat Shovel Knight once, and then I was pretty much done with it.
Why don't people learn with these DLCs? I don't want more characters, more music, more skins, more nonsense. I want MORE GAME.
Look at some of the top all time single player AAA video games. What do most of them have in common? They're BIG.
Super Metroid, Symphony of the Night, Ocarina of Time, Link to the Past, Mario 64, FFVI, FFVII, MG:S, GTA series, Half-Life 1+2. These games are all big big big. Big maps. Lots of places to explore. Lots of levels. All of them well made, and not just room after room of bad guys.
I don't need any other Knights besides the Shovel Knight. What I need is for Shovel Knight to go someplace new. Why not on a map as big as SotN? Why not bigger? According to Steam, I played Shovel Knight for 5 hours, and that's it. It was a good five hours, but there's no reason for me to add even one second to that time.
Scott, are you saying that you'd like more of the same instead of something different for a game and it's DLC?
New character same levels isn't even more of the same. It's the same again. More of the same is at least a bit better than that.
It's completely different levels though.
It's slightly remixed levels. Even if it was just the same levels it would be absolutely different experience with how differently Plague Knight plays.
For some reason I just assumed the new Shovel Knight content would be brand new levels. Now I am rather disappointed.
I can say that Splatoon has really aced the free DLC thing. Every week or two they do a drop of free content, either new guns or new stages. But when I say knew guns, sometimes they are entire new classes of weapon that work on a fundamentally different level than what was previously available. There is a new Splatoon stage out now, some bridge thing, but I haven't brought myself to put the disc in. I have retired from competitive play since I hit A rank and promptly shit a brick.

This setting for this game would make a killer BW campaign.

But really, are you all so easily amused? Is your bar so low?
