Idiot Cube

AND a wizard.

Note to self: Animate the ending of that episode.

It was certainly pretty and atmospheric, but I was annoyed at how deceptively linear it was. I was expecting a big, open island you could explore and search for artifacts and stuff. Instead there's very little to be gained from going off the beaten path, aside from a nice long walk back to that path. Maybe if I had known from the start that the game was going to be an on-rails sightseeing tour with some bits of narrative, then I might have enjoyed it more, but there was no indication of that from the trailer and screenshots and I ended up walking away disappointed.

We should have killed you when we had the chance.

Look forward to my first three official SPUFurb panels when Huff decides to stop hiding and actually write something!

I'm kinda surprised nobody's made a thread about this game yet, since every famous Youtuber and their cat has done a video about it. For those who don't know, it's an online multiplayer game where you form a crew and take to the skies in a steampunk-y airship to shoot at other steampunk-y airships. http://store.steampowered.com/app/209080/ I haven't tried multiplayer yet, but from what I've seen on the 'nets it looks like lots of fun. Also it's 50% off on Steam until the 28th.

H'okay. After trying out multiplayer for a while, I have come to the following verdict: Meh. It is quite heavily dependent on teamwork, which some of you may think is a good thing. But it's not the sort of teamwork where everybody is more or less equal. The captain is the one who gets to boss everyone around, since he is piloting the ship and therefore has the most stake in how things will play out. This is fine when you have an awesome captain who knows what he's doing and, more importantly, communicates what he's doing. But most of the captains I've had are either silent or clueless, or sometimes both. And when you're an engineer trying to keep the ship from falling apart as your captain stops it right in the middle of enemy fire...it's not much fun. In other teamwork-heavy games like DOTA you can at least try to pick up the slack of a worthless teammate, but in GoI, you are completely at the mercy of the captain. Imagine if your team's carry could literally prevent all his teammates from attacking or defending, simply by not knowing what to do. That's the terror of a bad captain. And being on the other side of that terror isn't great either. When you are being flanked by two enemy ships, and during your attempts to retreat they take out all your engines, you can almost feel the scalding heat from the angry glares of your crew. After landing in that exact scenario twice in a row, I decided I wasn't ready to command the S.S. Cookie Jar just yet. And yeah, like Splosion said, it does get kind of repetitive after a while. Yes, you can choose what tools your character brings, and what guns your ship has (if you're the captain), but in the end it all comes down to who is in the better attacking position on the battlefield (yet another thing that the captain alone is responsible for). And there are really only two kinds of maps: Those that have tons of obstacles ships can hide behind crash into, and those that don't. Maybe it's the sort of game that gets better when you get into the crowd of more experienced players, but my first impressions of the game are very mixed. I give this game two oatmeal raisin cookies.

Oh, Strange Bacon Grease. Why did you ever leave me for that salvaged crate? We could have been so happy together. [;~;]

Then where is his hand- oh. [o_O]

Uh...were you on a server that has the plugin? Yeah, it's a plugin, don't know if we told you that...

No. Machine vs. zawmbiez

Only yourself. But I'm sure there's some admin-level "robot-ify everyone" version of this command somewhere out there.

Raz, why can't you just appreciate the fun of telekinetically flinging Unreal Engine props around for the low, low price of 80 dollars? Besides, I think that since this is a completely new method of interacting with a game, it ought to be kept pretty simple anyway.

I would probably need to learn to stop beating myself up at the first sign of failing at a given task. "Okay, just need to levitate this box...going ok so far...I just hope I don't screw up and start panicking, oh god the calm meter's going down I'm going to drop the box OH GOD NOW THE CALM METER'S PLUMMETING AUUUGH WHY CAN'T I DO ANYTHING RIGHT!!!"

"The only game where you can kill your friends by thinking about puppies." MOTHER FUCKIN' SOLD!!! But really though, this looks pretty cool. I'll keep my eye on it!

The teeth seem to be less pointy...
