Let's Discuss Video Games

I'm a sucker for mindgames, where you're baisically fighting stress. One prime example of the is Super Hexagon. Once you learn all the patterns for each level, the only thing preventing progress is stress. The more stressed you are, the more likely you are to fail. When you notice you're stressed, you get stressed about it... There are constant audio cues reminding you how far you've gotten (and therefor, how awful it would be if you failed right at this moment). Numerous times I will beat my old score by only a second because the very sound of the announcer telling me I beat my old score distracted me enough to make me fail. You can't pause the game.

 

I have a few extra copies if anyone wants it.

It's also quite psychidellic, has a chiptune background music. If I switch hands (right -> left) I do noticably worse, same if I change computer (desktop -> laptop) or even hand positioning. I played super hexagon for a while, got all the achievements (completed the game baisically, but it can go on infinitely) and beat all of my friends high scores, and eventually got bored of it, didn't play for months. Then I'm at a lan party one night and decide to open it up while I'm waiting for other people to get set up, and notice one of my friends finally beat one of my scores, so I start playing that level. I'm only half paying attention until I FUCKING BEAT MY OLD SCORE. It was the craziest thing, I was on my laptop on my lap with both the screen and keyboard at a bad angle, I couldn't really hear the sound, didn't even notice how well I was doing till it played the sound.

Honestly we love Destiny, it's got great graphics and awesome scenery! Me and Baron will play it when no ones home so we can turn off the lights off to make it more cinematic.

 

Other favorite game, a suspenful game called SCP-Containment Breach. It has so many jump scares, and it is fun to explore. I don't know why but I just like monsters.

 

Three words to close it up...

 

Ocarina of Time.

Undertale is most likely the best indie game of last year, if you didn't buy it in the last Steam sale, shame on you! Its soundtrack is a bundle of joy, let alone the game itself.

DMC4? The Special Edition or regular?

 

late but special edition

 

Got DMC4 on PS3, bought Special edition on PC, PC port turned out to be subpar in the optimization area, and just bought again for PS4

Sen: I play shooty games. Just took a pretty long break from CSGO, but I got offered a trial position on a team as a sniper, so that should be fun. Anyone else play CS, here?

[Brassow]

I do, but got deranked to oblivion. Valve plz fix.

I play Source, but it's usually only for minigames.

I've hit a wall in progress with Dustforce, having SS'd the entire Forest and Mansion areas, but being stuck on Clocktower and Hideout in the City area. It's going to take a while to work up the finger muscles to tackle those two nasties, so I decided in the mean time to take a look through the Community Map Pack that was included in the DX update. Initially I wasn't impressed with it, but as I went more thoroughly through it, I've found some especially gorgeous, fun, and interesting stages in it. There's a fair share of ones which seem to adhere to the idea "More spikes + Less space = Better", but there are also others which have some very nice flow, have some neat challenges making every space that's not the correct one a fail state, and some utterly gorgeous visuals. I'll list a few of my favorites here:

Speaking of user made levels, here are a few Sonic Hack's I've been quite fond of:

(Mainly linked Razor & Zenon in the above due to him being really good at these games, and also because they're quiet playthroughs, so no possible Let's Play annoyance factor.)
