Personally, I didn't get through Bastion because I never did get into it. Technically perfect, but it didn't strike a chord in me. It's true that sometimes you buy a game in steam because you want it expecting to get to it in the future... but sometimes you don't get the chance to or there are other games ahead in your priorities
. About XCOM, I have the sensation that people haven't been playing the games that have been released since Apocalypse (most of them pretty bad, except the free remake Alien Invasion). I love the old original and have been playing it for years but I also loved Firaxis take. Although there are some things that bother me about it (map repetition, enemy spawning among others), I think that it was excellent overall and kept me heavily invested (already one of the games I have more hours on steam). Great show guys!
@larkin-54 @MindwalkerX Can you recall any good stories in a fighting game? Fighting games is one of those genres where story has never been important to genre enthusiasts.
@Drilbit777 @JustPlainLucas @kagento @rayankawash123 I found RE5 disappointing, but ok. Having played all games in the main series im sure ill pick up RE6 when it falls really cheap but... after RE5 I hoped that if they ever did a new RE they wouldn't follow the same path. Ah well, Im not expecting much more than some entertaining hours...
@charlieholmes I see where you're getting at, but there are still options. True, the AAA space is not pushing for SP due to the dredded rental/second hand effect (God of War and Mass Effect with MP??), but the indie space is really flourishing. Sure, most of them won't have graphics to match the AAA games, but they add precisely what's missing most: innovation.
