Quick Critique: Dead Rising 4

I really like Dead Rising 1, but I like it despite its mechanics. The timers made the game tedious and took away exploration, leading survivors was a pain in the butt because the AI was pitiful and they were so weak, you were expected to start the game over and over again to build up stats, and it was chock full of inventory management and weapon degradation. So hearing that DR4 got rid of some of that, I was in. Also, it's a horror game set during Christmas. I'm... kind of super into that. I t...

Darn tootin', Misstery. Own that villainy! I'm saddened your fancy hair is fake, but you work that sinister sass, sister.

A Is For Astro

Our next Patron request this month comes to us from Ross Phillips, with a request to see the mighty Alpha squad receive their new shipment of uniforms from HQ but they wind up being a bit more Jetsons inspired than planned. At least nobody had to look like Rosie or Elroy?

The camera reveals a shot of an escort facility, much like the one at the start of the series.

Rico and Blue enter the facility, dressed for work. Blue confidently struts across the waiting room floor to sign in with the front desk worker, while Rico follows behind, not quite feeling as powerful.

I think the Universe is trying to make another Sam here. An EVIL Sam! ...More evil. I mean, Sam isn't really THAT evil anymore.

Foolish, Universe, there can be only one!

Back on the pirate ship, Rico is animatedly discussing the dinner with Blue. Blue leans back in her chair, tapping her finger to her chin while she ponders. "You'd need to identify a number of Points all around the Universe. Surround uncharted space with them to even remotely narrow it down..."

Rico excitedly hops like a child. "That...

Our next Patron request this month comes to us from Doggod, with the rather sage demand to just see more pirates in life.

Those mean Gluttony sisters not letting Hope join in their games.

Thanks for the suggestion, Doggod!

MerSINaries

 Our next Patron request this month comes to us from Ross Phillips, with a request to see the Mercs turn to the side of sin and evil rather than being ever so helpful as they naturally are.

I like the idea that even evil, Mercy and Ruth are still just dorks.

Thanks for the suggestion, Ross!

Rico sits at a table in a fancy restaurant, dressed elegantly but practically spilling out of the tiny dress as he leans forward. A scientist sits across from him, flustered and nervously drumming his fingers on the table. Glasses of no doubt alcohol are between the two.

Rico is tied up at the top of a high building, overlooking the neon lit city below. He's doing a poor job feigning distressing and moaning for help with one arm to his head and the other behind his back, tucked behind what we as the audience see are fake ropes loosely clamped shut.

Thanks for your support!

SPAce Case

Our next Patron request this month comes to us from DreamingEndless, with a request to see the Sins spend a relaxing day at the sinister spa from Mercynaries. I have never been to a spa but cartoons have taught me that it always involves cucumbers placed over your eyes, which sounds like you're just begging for Gluttony troubles.

Thanks for the suggestion, Dreaming!

Our next Patron request this month comes to us from CoreDumpError. With their muse lacking this month, it's up to the Sins Fun Club to jumpstart the musings! This is quite obviously the standard way to commence the process!

Quick Critique: Guacamelee 2

  I highly recommend playing Guacamelee 1 first, which is a-okay because it's one of my favorite PS3 games. The intro to G2 is a bit on the slow side but by the time you hit the first dungeon, things are popping off and the challenge rooms are right up there with the ones from the end of Guac 1. When Guacamlee decides to get difficult, it has an amazing ability to be teeth-grindingly frustrating while making you laugh and have fun at the same time. G1 had hard bonus rooms, but it was a fair...

Sam is either entirely negligent in her duty or the best Merc in town.

Either way, I'm sure we'll leave these two to have a magic-fueled binge through gambling towns, leaving a wake of magic and fly hunnies.
