Games Bastion

[ECA]

No thread? This is GOTY 2011, and probably one of the best single player games I've ever played.

It's £11.49 on steam. You NEED to play this if you consider yourself a gamer in any way shape or form.

I blame your private school for failing to notice this

fu, i did a thread search and it didn't come up. ( srsly forum search utilities are wank ).

( let's ignore the fact it's like 5 posts down from this ).

 

[TdC]

lies, it's the first two when you type Bastion in to the search box!

so, your schooling AND your optician then?

 

[ECA]

Pffft. Less generic criticism of me, more swooning over how amazing this game is please.

 

[TdC]

Until this thread I'd not heard of it.

The videos just make me think "prettier torchwood/diablo 3"

Explain to me this is wrong and why I should part with £££

Great Artstyle
AMAZING Soundtrack
Really strong Soulful Story
Fun Gameplay
Good weapon customisation ( like 9 diff weapons you can customise quite differently ).
Cheap ( indie game, £11.49 on steam ).

You get to the ingame point where this song is in the background and you just stop to listen to it:

Those vids are just me beating the hardest challenge arenas, kind of like wave attack mode, not what actually occurs ingame

It reminds me of the film Spirited Away for some reason

Don't usually see Eca wanking lyrical. I'll take a peek

 

[TdC]

[dysfunction]

Pay your bill then!!

The hardest challenge ( imo ) beaten on 10 idol mode

Bastion - Calamity All Around - The Singer's Dream - All 10 Idols - YouTube

Gameplay seems too repetitive to hold my interest. Run, shoot, roll, run shoot roll.

Ehhhh the vids I posted are just the achievement challenges, kind of "outside" the normal game, the game itself is a lot more varied. ( I can't really convey enough it's the music+narration+story that make the game, the gameplay in itself is fun, the game has a lot of soul though - which is why it's so fucking great ).


- There is a demo available on steam.

Have to say I don't get on with the controls at all. I constantly feel like playing on the xbox would work better. :/

 

[ECA]

Anyone who doesn't own bastion already should be shot, anyone who doesn't buy it on discount should be molested by clowns.

 

[MYstIC G]

Don't say that, he's back. It'll actually happen now!

If i dont like it, can you refund it for me?

 

[ECA]

Sure, but I won't need to.
If you say you don't like it, you're lying.

 

[Gwadien]
