People are already posting speed runs. I wonder if it's as good for speed running as 2D metroids are.

it sounds like the dev knew what he was doing, i would bet he thought about that

If so then I might end up playing it over and over again. I haven't done that on a game in so long.

This track from ost is nice. Many of the tracks seem like variations of the main theme, but this variation is my fav.

that game does look pretty rad actually, might have to play it via streaming to my phone.

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

Holy shit, PlayStation flash sale is on and you can get the Mass Effect Trilogy for a few cents south of $5. That's a crazy good deal. Everyone who doesn't own Mass Effect, get it before Sunday!

oh okami hd too, hmm i know i didn't love it on wii, but i feel like it might be fun to play like half the game again to see the new visuals

I downloaded Okami HD a while back when it was $5 but never played it. I guess I just wanted to have it just in case the urge to play it came up.

I like turtles.

Got free copies of Witcher 3 (which I don't care all that much about) and Arkham Knight (which I would have otherwise shelled out full price for) with the graphics card I bought for my new desktop. Noice!

i wonder if arkham knight will be any good. for some reason i'm not as hopeful as most people seem to be

Turtle

I like turtles.

I'm expecting it to be formulaic but solid. Certainly won't complain about having gotten it free.

My sweetie has been so excited for Arkham Knight for a long time now. He's practically counting the hours. He took 3 days off of work to play it. He ordered a physical copy to pick up in-store. I'm pretty sure they will have a midnight party for the release. I'm also pretty sure he will be the oldest person there.

Here's a great deal. You can get a whole bunch of indie games for 3ds/wiiu for just over $10. Or you can get just one for $1. I think I'm going to donate $1 and get Guacamelee. I think it's NA only.

just highly unlikely

I'm somewhat tempted, but I already have a few of those and i don't know if I want the rest enough to cough up $10. It's great to see console games on humble bundle though, hope it happens more often.

I have The Fall and a couple others, but I don't have Guacamelee. I think I can grab it for only $1

i've heard great things about guacamelee

Opium

It looks visually appealing and categorized as a metroidvania, two pluses in my book.

I have the standard, non-turbo hyper edition, and while I liked it enough, it didn't click with me as being super amazing. It was fun, bit for me the world design wasn't really up to par. It's just not as well designed as, say, Super Metroid. And I mean, what is, right? But when you put your power ups in off brand Chozo statues you are literally asking for a direct comparison.

But for a dollar, yeah jump all over that.

i heard the combat was really hard, so i wasn't interested

i don't really get into combat-heavy 2d platformers

I never had an issue with it. The only time it gets "hard" is when they throw enemies with different types of shields at you, and you have to remember which move destroys what color shield. But it's nothing too severe.
