Owl Inspector posted:There's a solos-only mode called soul survivor so you don't have to match against larger team sizes and it also doesn't require you to pay for your own gear, but it does not have skill based matchmaking (and I don't think it's a great experience in general). cheers

Yeah solo vs teams is hard mode and given you're always two body shots or one headshot away from death you have to leverage every single bit of mechanical knowledge you have which is impractical when you're know Playing with randoms is tolerable, I do it all the time when no goons are around but my worst experiences in terms of gameplay have always been with random groups so lol

Did Valve recently mess with chat notifications or something? Because as it turns out, me and a bud of mine have been completely ignoring each other (don't say it), and it's because we are both not knowing when one leaves a chat message, which normally results in that green little mailbox popup thingy (you know the one I mean).

I think historically we've had a few other people in the Steam thread/Games who care about ye olde Stronghold(e.) Stronghold is a series that started incredibly well, had a game and one of those classic 90s/early 2000s strategy releases that probably should have just been an expansion but ended up good anyway with Crusader annnnnnnd arguably hasn't had a good game since. Warlords was actively bad, even as an apologist for the series flaws and so I guess they've decided that since they can't seem to flop out a decent new entry in the series they're gonna do this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPA1sFAM1T8 Shame it looks exactly different but not a ton really better. Steam MP support is cool but uhhhhh, yeesh.

Doing some Steam card idling and was just wondering what's the best way to quickly sell thousands of cards? Feel I can easily buy a game even if I sell them all for three cents each. I've had a foil dropped with apparently has a value of $70 which is obviously high but I remember selling a Falcon 4.0 foil for $20ish once which was really cool.

I swear to god when they do the swipe-to-hd transition I cannot tell the difference. Even if it's 'just' a forward port being wide-screen friendlywith steam-intergrated multi (and mod support?) it might be worth the price. But I'm still laughing at those gfx swipes.

I mean, I think Stronghold DE looks great (as long as they fix dumb AI behavior like their entire army beelining for a single tiny gap in your fortifications) but I genuinely don't understand why this studio cannot make a decent new Stronghold game despite decades of trying All I needed to know about the latest one I found when the demo had infinitely-spawning enemies coming from the edge of the map behind their castle

I checked their YouTube channel and it looks like Stronghold DE is probably just “Oh god we need money, help” rather than a huge focus. They’re purportedly working on a much more modern UE4/5 Stronghold game but given how poorly Warlords did here we are. Orv fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Jul 16, 2023 |

I’m looking for a recommendation for a good multiplayer game to play with a bro in a different town. His computer is somewhat low spec so can’t play the latest 3D games but indie ones are fine. Either remote play or I don’t mind getting two copies.. any suggestions? Thanks ye goons

Thanks ye goons not Steam related but maybe check out Board Game Arena, they have a huge number of good (and some less than good) games available for free, and an even larger catalogue behind a monthly membership that only one person needs to subscribe for. just go to the Games tab at the top and filter by 2 players (and whatever else you want) and see what's there - anything with the star in the upper-right corner is a membership game, the rest are totally free.

Monster Prom series (Prom, Camp, and Roadtrip) does remote play and multiplayer. Wildermyth. Tales of Symphonia, Vesperia, Zestiria, and Berseria (but not Tales of Arise) do remote play, though I think player 1 is entirely in charge when outside of combat. God Eater 1 and 2 (buy GE2, get 1 packed with it on Steam) for co-op budget sci-fi Monster Hunter that doesn't have ridiculous requirements. No remote play.

Otherwise, Magicka and Portal 2 can run pretty well on old systems while having multiplayer. Flair fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Jul 16, 2023 |

Thanks ye goons Divinity OS games are raved about as some of the best co-op games of their time. D:OS 2 is 6 years old at this point and wasn't exact a punishing game for gpus so it should run on any 10 series GPU or higher.

BZ1 is still hard as nuts. I didn’t make it very far into Red Odyssey. BZ2 isn’t awful but it feels really hollow. The combat has this rigid feeling to it that I didn’t enjoy and there’s never an interesting challenge to any part of it.

I think that's just how it's aged unfortunately  The remaster for BZ2 especially is just like "Aight here's some shaders, have fun!" like it maybe could have used a bit of love, but I suppose that would be inauthentic
