Right but not an XCom like is what I am saying. Or a SRPG either. like if someone wants that specific sub genre ItB won't scratch those itches.
It took me less than 3 minutes to create and link a separate Paypal in 2017 for overseas sales. But yea, you'd have to unlink your European CC from your normal Paypal (temporarily), but then again I also have my bank account linked to it for funds in case I need to use my normal Paypal account (not a lot these days, usually just CC).
I will be. Have a long flight coming up in May so was deciding between this and Dark SOuls remastered since I haven't played DS past the first boss before, but the announcement of Travis coming to this (even if he's just a random dude in it) and the way people talk about it has me pretty solidly picking it up.
I will give you a tip in advance. If you are climbing around on a Griffin's back while fighting it, and it starts to take off, LET GO.
Yeah, unfortunately that wouldn't work for me - I have a lot of things paid regularly through PayPal, e.g. Netflix, Game Pass. Etc. Unlinking my card every time I want to buy a game would wreak havoc!
Well I mean.... I didn't let go and ended up flying across half the map on its back at like 1000 ft in the air..... until I ran out of stamina. :(
Hard West is the obvious choice if you want actual XCOM-likes and Into the Breach isn't your cup of tea (it should be, though). How you looked at that Cthulhu Tactics game before this actually good one is crazy to me :)
lines up with:
No, not that kind of game. This describes it quite well
Ah yeah, that sucks. Do you use PP instead of just your CC for security or other advantages?
Mainly just so I don't have to give out my card details to anyone who wants it. :P
We're kind of getting off-topic here, but.. :) Aren't you insured with your CC company for that kind of thing though? I mean Netflix, Game Pass and that kind of thing seem to be reputable companies. I do understand the extra ease of mind though with regards to security.
There was an official post on the website earlier this month about the content, but no specific date.
( Double posting from the glorious shmup thread... )
There is a new Japanese shmup release for Switch and Xbox One that seems to have been completely ignored in STG communities.
Its name is 'Alien Cruise', and it's one of the weirdest shmups ever made.
The game is a love letter to the 'Gradius' and 'Parodius' series, being a horizontal shmup in which the obstacles in the scenario are a significant part of the level design, following a tradition of memorization shmups from the mid 80s and early 90s.
It remembers me A LOT to 'Cambria Sword' in its WILD spirit: it's a flawed game, far from being a classic, with some disappointing things like the sound design (probably, the worst sound design that I have ever found in a Japanese shmup).
But oh man, like 'Cambria Sword', this game is one of the most insane accumulations of crazy and weird ideas, with every segment of the game blowing your head with its level of madness.
A showcase of fucking gigantic enemies after fucking gigantic enemies, with a level of surrealness on par with 'PuLiRuLa'. And tons of homages to Konami classics like the volcanoes from 'Darius', and constant changes in the gameplay mechanics with every crazy idea from a brain consumed by psychedelic drugs thrown into the mix.
With a distinctive comic look, making of this one of the most creative artistic designs that I have found in a shooting game.
It really remembers me to some of the most obscure titles released for the PC Engine, with echoes of 'Cho Aniki', 'Hana Taaka Daka!?', 'L-Dis', 'God Panic'... YEAH, that level of madness.
The weapon system sucks, with TOO many weapons, every one intended to play a different segment... I think that a system with less weapons, but upgrading these through the accumulation of power-ups, should have worked much better.
And because the sub-par sound design, the feeling of destroying things which is a seminal part of the shmup experience, it's not very accomplished.
But the game is so damn creative and weird, and so varied and surprising with each level feeling completely different in a 'Genetos' way, that at the end of the day you will forgive its flaws, playing this with a smile of pure happiness on your face.
And it's one of the rare contemporary shumps with a two players local co-op mode.
That looks cool. Good Steam reviews, tactical SRPG, scratching a lot of itches.
I read in a comment somewhere that the train spawning is timed to a music cue -- or I guess that's the same way of saying it's based on the time you've spent in the level. The same goes for the circle of enemies that shows up during certain points in the song. At least I think they're just based on time.
Yes, we need folders so we can label one "Games" and another "More Games."
Don't forget: 'even more games', 'not enough games yet?' And 'I can't belive I bought even more games'
Also "Games I don't play atm but do not want to delete from the homescreen."
Sounds legit.
Oh I forgot the best one 'I think I have a problem, games!'
