PantsBandit posted:So at what point does Human Revolution start to get good? I've tried to play it a couple times and managed to make it to about the first time you can walk around the game world before giving up. It took me awhile (couple hours maybe) before it really clicked, and playing it right after finishing Dishonored didn't help with HR's slower, story-heavy gameplay - but I thought it was a lot of fun investigating and exploring the game, and the combat was fun when I went for a mostly non-lethal/stealthy approach. If you got to finally explore the city I'd do at least a main story mission and see if it grabs you, but the slow pace did put me off as well initially but I ended up really enjoying the game.

Dishonored's gameplay is pretty story-based if you stop and use the heart on everybody.

So if I thought the first hour of Tomb Raider was derivative trash, should I just uninstall it now?

Anonymous Robot posted:So if I thought the first hour of Tomb Raider was derivative trash, should I just uninstall it now? It's literally a third person shooter. If you don't like it/that you won't like it. It offers no new gameplay experience, but it does do the normal stuff (shooty/shooty-sneaky) pretty well. It looks great and I thought was pretty fun.

The game opens up a bit and the cutscenes come a bit less frequently, it doesn't fundamentally change tone or gameplay however, so don't give it too much longer.

Anonymous Robot posted:So if I thought the first hour of Tomb Raider was derivative trash, should I just uninstall it now? Mmmmaybe? The first hour is pretty slow paced and cutscene heavy compared to most of the rest of the game (though even as someone who liked the game some of the bits where you fight waves of baddies went on for too long) but faster paced just means you'll be shooting more people or exploring larger areas for various collectables without getting interrupted by cutscenes and QTE's as often.

Okay, that's what I was wondering. I'll give it a little more time, because the first area's "cutscene/QTE tunnel/cutscene/QTE tunnel/cutscene/press LB to highlight the puzzle solution/cutscene" formula made it feel like the worst 2009 game ever.

Might be a stupid question, but can you not set Trails in the Sky to run in a windowed mode?

Yes, as you go it will turn into QTE Tunnel/Cutscene/Semi-Open Area to Explore/QTE Tunnel/Cutscene/etc. So it gets a bit better as you get into it, but it doesn't really get radically different or anything.

I might have skimmed through the thread too quickly or just been blind, buuuuut… …is there any way to trick Steam into downloading files for a game that isn't available on a given platform? I'm doing a complete rebuild of my windows machine and I'm still waiting for parts to arrive, but in the meantime, I got an itch for all kinds of old iD games. As luck would have it, I have one of those “every iD game ever” packages, but as misfortune would have it, they're all dosbox or (best-case) some old windows builds… and I'm on OSX right now. All I want is those sweet sweet .wads.

I'm really getting into lateral thinking bare bones *the real thing* (looking at you RE4) survival horror. Was into it as a kid but my head was hosed. Now for some reason my head is unfucked, at least to this degree. It's now second nature and my newest favorite thing, well it was but it's WAY better now... not having to look at a guide every 2 minutes. I don't like the third person perspective, it takes away from the atmosphere. I love gritty horror combat, and good combat systems are kind of almost required for me. In essence I'm looking for games like condemned and cry of fear. First person survival horror (the real thing, not an atmospheric shooter with inventory elements) and combat that's actually satisfying. Atmosphere is REQUIRED. CoF has plenty of jump scares but to anyone who isn't a bitch they set the tone, maybe spike your adrenaline and mess with you. I'm legitimately creeped out in melee combat, that's a product of the combination of incredibly unsettling and disturbing enemies who are incredibly unpredictable in an environment that seems like it's a place desolately forsaken. I want a game that can mind gently caress me.. and my mind has been a dirty whore so it's really hard to satisfy. NeoSeeker fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Jul 30, 2014 |

This post was made by a crazy person. Anyways, I would suggest Outlast I guess? That one I haven't actually played. If you don't mind some jank, there's also Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of the Earth, but be warned there is much jank. Otherwise there isn't a lot of first-person horror. If you haven't played Silent Hill you really really should, regardless of your feelings on third person.

There is. It's just an annoyingly slow and fiddly and cumbersome process — enough that I'd rather wait a while until I get windows up and running again. The hope was that I could just tell Steam to cough up the files irrespective of platform. Impatience and laziness — it's hell of a combination.

His post was literally giving me a headache and I was wondering if I was going crazy. Outlast is pretty great but I think he's looking for something with combat? Really the post was not clear at all. I was also going to suggest Dead Space 1 but that's also third person  I'd also suggest Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light played on Ranger mode.

any idea why steam won't let me remove shovel knight from my wishlist? I click remove and it removes itself and then when I go back it's there again. I've tried removing it and rearranging the list so I can hit the save button and it doesn't matter. and before you say just buy it idiot I already bought it on my 3ds so now I can wait until it's in a bundle or $3 or something here. e: ok so removing it from the steam client worked but the website is not. and actually it's not working for anything not just shovel knight Awesome! fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Jul 31, 2014 |

So first the Z games coming to Steam were inexplicably just ports of the mobile games, and now the new Colin McRae Rally game that just appeared is the same deal. This is some grade-A bullshit right here. The first three Colin McRae Rally games were awesome (assuming 2005 was the third, I'm counting CMR1, CMR2.0 and CMR2005 as "the first three"), yet we just get a port of the mobile version of CMR2.0 but without multiplayer. Kiss my rear end, Codemasters.Awesome! posted:e: ok so removing it from the steam client worked but the website is not. and actually it's not working for anything not just shovel knight I find that Enhanced Steam sometimes gets a little uncooperative when you try to remove games from your wishlist, assuming you're using that. Try removing it from your wishlist from the game page itself (this is only valid if you're actually using Enhanced Steam). e: Wow reading the post above mine would have saved me a lot of typing practice. markgreyam fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Jul 31, 2014 |

I was in the same boat, it starts off bad, gets better / enjoyable (area or two after the bad men first show up) then towards the end starts to get a little repetitive, but not enough to not finish. Overall I felt it was enjoyable.
