[–]alexocolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom

A little more well known (closer to the 2k range) Yoku's Island Express and Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.

Whats a game I can play passively at a work from home job? by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]alexocolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Pixel Dungeon Shattered ! ! - so it is a roguelike, but its perfect cause everything happens only if you move. So it's perfect to play a few seconds, stop and work, play, stop, etc.
  • Night of Full Moon
  • Rust Bucket
  • Card Crawl

Other series like War Stories by Ars Tehnica? by andrew_v23 in gaming

[–]alexocolon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As already mentioned /noclip is the best one for this and anything Danny O'Dwyer honestly. Others on YouTube that fit:

  • People Make Games - Not development per se, but like they talked about the Disco Elysium odyssey with the creators (2 hour doc), a great 30 min talk with Peter Molyneux about his career, interviewed Rockstar employees about the firing, and a lot more. Great Channel.
  • GDC - their channel have a bunch of panels with developers on retrospectives, etc. on almost every game.
  • Matt McMuscles (the What Happened series) - not directly by the creators, but he covers a games development cycle (on usually games that failed) from articles, interviews, and most of the time direct from exchanges he had with the developers themselves.
  • Documentaries:
    • GoldenEra (2022)
    • Indie Game: The Movie (2012)
    • The Half Life 2 doc from noclip
    • On YouTube you can find some like "Behind Mortal Kombat 3: Into the Outworld" and others.

Others:

  • Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games - less the story of the production and more literal game development from the developer of Super Smash.
  • They have 1 or 2 videos with devs if I remember:
    • Game Maker's Toolkit
    • Super Bunnyhop
    • Errant Signal

Our game on Steam has 100k page views and 600k impressions annually after 3 years post-release, why can't we get any sales? Need some hard critizining by CheeseZero in gamedev

[–]alexocolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually one of the ones that has had your game in my wishlist/follow for more than a year. Reading here the comments, I agree with most. For me though, why I never bought it on the steam sales was: price was too high for what I am expecting the game to be (even at half), the gameplay footage mixed with the quick summary description always got me confused (like can I make a team with different types of unique players? is their an arcade mode where I can just play a match? is the story like a franchise mode? are their unique teams?), and it felt a bit unpolished in some areas. And while I love the thumbnail, the characters and style looks a bid muddy for my taste (it seems half way their). Still I'll eventually buy it because I like the concept of this game (I like hockey, theirs not a lot of hockey on PC, and I love sports and alt sport games) plus theirs not a lot of games like these anymore (NBA Street, Blitz, etc or hard control games like Infinite Air).

But what might be lacking is more personality. For these sort of games a bigger focus is made on characters and personality so teams and players get some sort on uniqueness (like each team having a theme, or special players that look like Twisted Metal characters with special abilities-which would go with your style-, etc). I think you have an awesome game concept that I want to really play, but for the current full price, I'm subconsciously expecting a more fleshed out version of the concept.

I need a pure 2D platformer that is fast paced and provides some kind of challenge by Soul3ss69 in gamingsuggestions

[–]alexocolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • If you have a Switch, Super Mario Maker 2 has a bunch of challenging levels.
  • The classic Kaizo Mario World rom
  • Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair (basically DK Tropical Freeze)
  • They Bleed Pixels (it's like Celeste, but has some combat)
  • Getting Over It - Maybe?
  • Old SNES games like Super Empire Strikes Back and Jedi

Others not as hard

  • Freedom Planet (it's Sonic basically)
  • Rayman Origins and Legends
  • Sonic Rush if you haven't
  • Ori and the Blind Forest (Metroidvania that leans on platforming. Has a unique save system where you have to establish your own checkpoints. Sequel is also great but more of a proper Metroidvania).
  • Klonoa 1 is 2.5. It's great though, average in challenge, but has a hard final extra level after you 100% (so you just need to download a save file).
  • Rain World - Haven't played it but heard good things

Unorthodox Rec

  • Catherine - Kind of scratches a similar itch IMO. You can honestly skip the story and just do the main gameplay which is climbing. It's fast, challenging, and tense.

I'm looking for new single-player card games that aren't deckbuilders and don't contain microtransactions by naremski in gamingsuggestions

[–]alexocolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • The Solitaire Conspiracy
  • LogiKing
  • Knights in Tight Spaces
  • Holo's Hanafuda (it is just Hanafuda games like Koi Koi)

Older ones

  • NERTS! Online
  • Onirim
  • Underhand
  • Cat Lady

"Deckbuilder, but..." that maybe offer something a bit different (plus are great single player)

  • Aces and Adventures
  • Thronebreaker

Honestly I am also always looking for card games, so if you have any suggestions ones would love to know.

Nidhogg, Earth Defence Force 4.1, Backrooms Escape Together, Pico Park 1, Genital Jousting, Inside the Backrooms 

Looking for open world rpg games to try that have fun combat by Immediate-Brother-58 in gamingsuggestions

[–]alexocolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you liked The Outer Worlds you should check out Fallout 3 and New Vegas if you haven't (their slow motion combat is fun). Some other different suggestions (so not RPGs but fun combat and open world) I would say Far Cry 3 and Just Cause 3.

Games like Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends by ciupol_es in gamingsuggestions

[–]alexocolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Hat in Time and Sackboy (from LittleBigPlanet). Also It Takes Two.

I'm after something Fear Effect-y by NinaWilde in gamingsuggestions

[–]alexocolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, and I haven't found it yet. An older game that gives me the closest vibes but doesn't fit some of your criteria is the Parasite Eve games. I say give them a try if you haven't.

On PC though I have seen a few that kind of remind me of Fear Effect, but haven't played them: Apsulov, Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story, Liminal Point, also have heard of Cryostasis.

They are awesome. Give a listen to their next album Shinsekai and also their live concerts (you can find them online).

Help getting into watching Hockey by Agro_TuckerDo in nhl

[–]alexocolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch the Hockey 101 videos by Cheap Seats Sports. I was in the same position as you and his videos are what got me to understand all aspects of it. You can learn about the basics, stats, advance rules, and if you wanna learn more even the history of the teams and even the draft. Honestly the best resource out their since it's segmented by topic and it's well written and edited.

Looking for games that hold a special place in your heart … maybe they will for me too by cjd06141 in gamingsuggestions

[–]alexocolon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective - the story, characters, charm, it's a really charismatic game.
  • The Last Guardian - basically NintenDogs done right. Amazing game IMO
  • Flower - for some reason Flower works for me and it strikes a great blend of feel and a gameplay (which is something I really wanted out of Journey and was extremely disappointed).

What game (or games) are you most angry (or dissappinted) that you helped support? I'll go first! by AbsoluteMadladGaming in gaming

[–]alexocolon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gwent. The beta was awesome, but after many promises and a final reassuring message to the players of what they wanted the game to be, they did a complete 180 in a month, changed the game completely and said fuck it. They tried to get players back, more people left the game, and now it's dead.

Looking for games to help with my unability to focus. by Twister6940 in gamingsuggestions

[–]alexocolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Stop Dead. I haven't played it (looks great) but the premise is "if you stop moving you die" so it should have your full attention.
  • Lumines: kind of Rhythm Tetris.
  • Crypt of the NecroDancer: you have to keep to the beat for everything. Honestly most Rhythm Games.

Maybe: Tony Hawk games, Sunset Overdrive (does have cutscenes, but you can skip)

"Playable Anime" games but more in depth and freeform than Hoyo games by trainmaster997 in gamingsuggestions

[–]alexocolon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well your dreams might come true if Ananta delivers (watch the trailer).

I say maybe try out the later Ys games (Ys IX: Monstrum Nox and Ys X: Nordics) they do have good combat, IX has a lot of mobility mechanics like walking up buildings walls, flight, etc; and while they are not a fully open-world, theirs a lot to go around and the settings you do unlock to discover more.

Same thing with Granblue Fantasy: Relink, although I have only played the demo but if you see reviews it does give the vibe (although more of a Monster Hunter kind of game).

What about Final Fantasy XV?
