Review: Risk of Rain - Forecast: Shitstorm

This holiday season I constructed myself a $1100 computer so that I could finally have a high-powered gaming rig all my own.  Something that would run the shit out of games like Assassin's Creed IV or Splinter Cell and still have memory left over.

Since then I have logged approximately 17 hours in Risk of Rain and 44 in Starbound (will get to that later).  Yes, I have been playing pixelated indie roguelikes on a computer where the highest of graphics settings isn't high enough.  This might not say much for me and my PC gaming needs, but what I find is that it really doesn't say much for the triple-A gaming industry at all.  All of my needs have been met by two games whose combined prices don't even approach a shiny new $60 investment from some money-grubbing CEO's farm of development drones, and who's graphical style is still locked in a time vault from the 1990's with the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis.

Zero Tolerance Games is on YouTube!

This is kind of like a content update, only instead of typing words at your face, I've uploaded a YouTube video. Here's the first 10 minutes of me desperately trying not to get killed on the last level of Risk of Rain for the PC.
