Now for something completely different: Broken Pieces. I found I either love European adventure games (The Council, A Plague Tale) or absolutely hate it, but the slight risk taking element makes it worth trying.

Plus I always prefer hating something passionately than nothing it.

#BrokenPieces
#VideoGames

I'm screaming it has an option of fixed camera this is the best ever it's like Silent Hill 3 all over again

I'm opting French voice despite of I understand less than zero French. In A Plague Tale I felt it was unfortunate that you don't have an option where the French spoke French and the English spoke English, hopefully in here they are actually all French characters.

Binary Domain still wins though. Everyone spoke their native language, unless there are reasons why they don't. I don't know why that isn't the default.

Is Elise a squatter. Her door isn't even om the door frame.

Literally every game ever needs an option where I can read a journal in its entirety, rather than having it read to me line by line and it takes three times as long, and if I missed a line I need to waste another minute and half of my life to relisten again.

Quality of Life score for Broken Pieces is 2/10 because of this.

No shit every ghost is trying to kill Elise. She just casually creates storms whenever for her convenience.

Why are the ghosts killable by bullets anyway.

I'm absolutely convinced that Elise is superficially cool as a cucumber, but really she's madder than a hatter and is entirely dependent on psilocybin mushrooms.

Aaaaand it's yet another game that thinks itself as clever by making using a simple item unnecessarily difficult.

I'm suddenly having this massive, hey I played a game that feels just like this some time ago feel, except it's so generic I can't remember what.

It involved looking for some abandoned drums but then I think it turns to light or something?

I'm giving up on this. This is the ultimate UserInYerFace game, where it felt it's above something sensible like press an action button to result in an action.

For example I'm at a puzzle where it requires removing scarecrows. But how? There are absolutely no buttons allow this. Starting storm doesn't work. Nor is shooting at it because apparently Elise is only capable of pull out a gun _sometimes_ when there are ghosts. I'd say 30% of the time she just stands stupidly and stares.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be one of those L1+R1+X+joystick QWOP to open a door games. It's honestly not interesting enough for this.

Solid 1/10 kind of games, made in 2022 and has less functionality than the first Resident Evil. The only thing going for it is you have the option of an old survival horror camera, and I liked (but not loved) the visuals of stage setting.

Let's try some Narcosis. Please don't be one of those QWOP to open a door game.

"A realistic horror unlike anything you ever experienced".

> Battery 12%

The controls are pretty good so far, though I don't yet need to open a door. We'll see how that will go.

I'm at that start where there isna magical swimming pool that auto teleports you into the deep ocean.

Rekt by a spider crab, the game

As a non-diver, I can't comment on how reasonable it is that my protagonist can go for full speed knife thrust underwater, but will refuse to grab onto a cliff edge to prevent falling to his death.

Sometimes I don't think he deserves to live.

Roflmao I swear these people dive with oxygen tanks the size of cream whipping canisters. You've walked seven step. 20% of your oxygen is gone.

The entire Compass 1 is underwater. But look on the bright side, you get to ignore the fire safety message.

That "slippery when wet" sign floating around nearly killed me hahahahahahaha

Whooa what are these jars made out of? The entire enforced underwater station is crushed by the earthquake, but these jars are not just ok but also not even dislodged off their shelves.

Ohhh it's doing that shifting environment thing, which is my favourite thing ever.

Tbh I knew my protagonist is hallucinating hardcore, when he started to see red blood coming out of squids

I just can't get over how my protagonist is stuck under ocean, and he's so lazy that he wouldn't carry any oxygen canisters he found. 99% oxygen left? Nah just refill it to 100% then throw it away.

I'm playing as a dude who would rather suffocate than using his hands to pull himself up by 1cm.

Still funny every time

I just got out into the escape subway abd

What what

What.

WHAT

Congratulations to Protagonist, for being THE worst driver in video game history. The context is, you can't screw up this much if you planned ahead to do it.

The physics are so... Idk, land like? As in you will burn to death if you stand on lava, but you are fine when swimming 1m away in ocean soaked in lava? The water would be 100 degrees.

Narcosis's spider crabs is making me pro bottom-trailing.

Ok so there are random Ocean Poppies, Ocean Bicycles, and Ocean Grandfather Clocks. The protagonist is mad af

HOLY FUCK THE ENDING WHAT THE WHAT THE FUCKING WHAT

HOLY FUCKING FUCK

No spoiler comments

Ok so I never ever thought I'd love a game because how entirely the controls were clumsy af, but I think it would be a worse game if it isn't. Just to be clear, it's not a diving game, it's a slow walking simulator with some clumsier combat. Somehow. It mostly worked.

However.

A lot of it is trial and errors, but with time limit. Which can get annoying, especially some stages were essentially pseudo open space. Having said that, the time limit is really generous.

@Bigshellevent *crabs, the eternal enemy of gamers

@ami_angelwings weeping irl

One more (hopefully) short horror. I'm all about walking simulator horrors set in a manor, so let's walk asay!

It's pretty hard to top Narcosis narratively. So I'm happy if it's good environment alone.

I live for mildly charmingly buggy games. Seriously. This gives me joy.

Older gen see a torture horror house, our gen see a property that's probably worth 5 million in our current market. :(

I legit would find this scarier if it's Funko pop vinyl mostly because how much I hate Funko pop vinyl.

It's like when you flatted with those really gross people who just leave their menstruation all over the bathroom.

Important 10/10 moment: you can just open a door, or interact with a thing, by pressing x. No QWOP required.

I love how you can kinda tell the visual artist's environment norm by looking at what they make sometimes. I'm guestimating this is a place with say Tasmanian humidity, rather than Malaysian humidity.

But also, idk why Residents Evil is filled with zombies who are really good at keeping flowers in vases fresh.

The latest journal entry was 1900, but I see they are still good with their power bills.

I'm absolutely loving how when my protagonist Peter walks, the camera will rock a little just like you'd expect with footsteps.

Just ran into my first ghost enemy, and ghost child saved my poor ol' Peter. Kinda have memories of playing Resident Evil 4 for the first time. Recognising the chainsaw dude while hearing impaired was ... Something.

Lol I thought I'm too stupid for the puzzles but turned out the door bugged out so much that I can't open it.

It's almost a really good mansion horror. The massive thing prevents it from being one, is the bug comes in the form that you frequently can't interact with things. As in you can only interact with things if a prompt pops up, instead of permanently available. It's one of the cutesy extra stuff people do these days in games that does nothing but open up room for things to go wrong.

So when you can't progress, is it because of you did a puzzle wrong or is it because of this bug? You'll never know.

Forever mad that the game is implicated to be set around UK, but then it refers to ground floor as first floor. No wonder I couldn't find the room.

Not only you have chase segments that your character can't sprint, but also... The auto save takes you absolutely ages away so it's endlessly trying to return to the point of atrocious control, but 5 minutes away.

Remember when the player can choose when to save? Good times.

L3 R3 as part of control just needs to die. The only thing ever consistent about it is its inconsistency.

I think I'm near the end but honestly? The chase scenes can go fuck itself. It's not unreasonable to at least expect the controls are functional if I'm expecting to run away from instance death in a maze.

It's a pity really, this game would've been superb as a walking simulator. I loved the environment setting, and the story is what you'd expect from a horror of this kind.

The chase sections never should've existed, and if the devs had such strong feelings about them then the control needed to be solid enough to back it up. Ultimately it just fell apart there.

Ami Angelwings Jun 1, 2023

@Bigshellevent have you played Near Death or Cold Fear before?

@ami_angelwings no: how are the controls?

Ami Angelwings Jun 1, 2023

@Bigshellevent Cold Fear is like Resident Evil 4, they came out around the same time, Near Death is a first person thing and I found the controls quite good iirc, I really liked it

@ami_angelwings ohhhh sold!

Procrastinasaurus Rex May 31, 2023

@Bigshellevent please tell me that didn't happen

@prex let's just say I'm NOT living with other people ever again

Procrastinasaurus Rex May 31, 2023

@Bigshellevent oh my

Delicious in Dungeon vol 12 time!

Sorry completely forgot to do this for Spider, I was too fixated by it to notice anything else.

#DeliciousInDungeon

Everyone mistook Laios as the new dungeon lord. The Canaries are worried because every dungeon lord will go mad eventually, but Laios is already mad as he is .

Meanwhile, the real dungeon lord Marcille may indeed force everyone to live forever

Delicious in Dungeon is solidly one of the best spec fics I've seen that addresses racism, CALD, and systemic racial inequality, without ever giving it a name nor want to market itself around it.

But also, I just love how everyone assumed it's has to be Laois who became the dungeon lord, because a non tallman girl is just a companion to them.
