Just made €5 from selling random TF2 poo poo from 2 hours of play. Steam is the business. Why didn't you gaylords tell me there was free money available from playing a pretty good online shooter?

I'm kind of shocked that Super Panda Adventures isn't complete bundle garbage. For a game that's been bundled a bunch already and has a regular 4 buck price tag, it's actually kind of good. Controls are solid, levels are big without feeling empty or meandering and there's a good bit of Metroidvania exploration to them. Combat is decent enough too. Boss fights are pretty terrible though; they're of the enemy having tons of life variety and will probably be the reason I don't bother to finish the game. Still though, if you picked this up a bundle somewhere and like this type of game, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Figured this would be a 15 minute play and uninstall but I've played for a few hours now and other than the hit-sponge bosses, it's much better than what I'd thought it'd be.

If you like really old-school RPGs with a user-friendly UI and lovely background art, Lords Of Xulima was just released: http://store.steampowered.com/app/296570/  Currently Early Access (yeah I know) but I think they said it'll be finished around October.

There's several large, multi-tiered main quests that you work on throughout the game (with a large amount of sidequests too) but honestly the main focus is on exploration, dungeons/riddles, and combat mechanics. It's more about playing the game than reading it (if that makes any sense). EDIT: I should also note that it's hard as balls. The Joe Man fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Aug 10, 2014 |

mr. nobody posted:What I was hoping for would be more that you play as a monster in a PVE MMO. The NPCs would be the 'adventurer parties' and you'd start out having to kill one on one 'adventurers' (NPCs) and by max level the content would be you (and monster friends (player characters)) trying not to die to the raids of adventurers assembled to kill you. That's pretty much the premise of Unholy Heights, except it's more of a management sim than a combat RPG.

Darkrenown posted:The Swapper owns, but she is not sold on the amount of clone-murder. Maybe I can lie and say they are only hardlight holograms or something... Don't they actually spell that out in-game? Like, first screens early in-game? RBA Starblade posted:The Swapper is good but one of the few games where I thought it'd be better as a two hour walking simulator. The puzzles dragged it down for me (they aren't bad, but they do get pretty hard by the end and you need to finish every last one) and I really wanted to just do the exploration and piece together the story. I found a few of the puzzles just obnoxiously fiddly, but felt the story wasn't much better. I expected something more to do with those tentacle/vines and that spoooooky giant stone head but ended up with what felt like someone trying to digest a lesson from a freshman philosophy course. The presentation was lovely though, and I thought the aliens were a nice, creepy touch. I'd love to see something else done in the same style.

Gave Rise of Incarnates a try and wow, is this really something Bandai Namco is developing? Even by Korean F2P action game standards it plays terribly. To give people who haven't played it some idea of what I'm talking about you use the same button to jump and dash. Hold to jump, double tap to dash.

Really enjoying it as well, the variety of the vampires is a lot of fun to play around with and surprisingly enough I enjoy playing as humans as well, which I didn't expect, but the freedom of movement of the vampires really makes it interesting. I'm not a big fan of F2P and cash shops but the game has made a good impression on me and I'll get my friends to join in once it's out of beta, hopefully there will be a healthy playerbase - and at least the classes can be unlocked just by playing, otherwise I'd avoid.

This has been my exact experience with the game. I played it yesterday and was having a great time until I hit a wall at a certain boss very close to the end (~85% through). A really badly designed fight. HP is through the roof and no health drops means I'd have to grind for orbs/XP to get past this and I'm not sure I feel like doing that. Shame about the massive difficulty spike; there's no reason for boss fights to be that difficult, I wish developers realized this more often. So often it goes way past 'hard' and straight into 'frustrating'. But the game was very good up until that point.

So it finally happened: My desktop computer's main hard-drive died last month, and I was procrastinating forever (Mainly because other major Life Things were happening at the time), but I finally have a new hard drive, with Windows installed. It died in the main sense that Windows was corrupted and wouldn't boot. Going by what some more tech-savvy friends have said, there's some chance most of my more sensitive things are still intact, so I can hopefully pull off everything I need to save with dragging and dropping. But what of my saved games? I didn't mess with cloud settings but there were some games that I disabled them when the steam client was being dumb about closing them fully. I wasn't smart enough to have the Steam save utility in the OP (I will now), but can it, or any other tool like it, help facilitate my saved games over to the new drive, assuming they aren't already corrupted? Skyrim might be the only game that I care to retain the install of, so would dragging and dropping be feasible with that? Any other basic things I should know? Thanks for your help, and sorry if any of my questions were dumb.

Yeah, most save games will work with dragging and dropping but you'll have to know where save games for particular games are stored. Many games save them in Documents in various directories named after games/studios, others store them in My Games directory in Documents (this is what Skyrim does), Ubisoft games save the progress in the Uplay directory, some other games store the progress in their respective directories or random places on the hard drive. You'll basically have to think what games you want to copy the progress for and then google where they store the progress (check the Documents and My Games directories first though), you can then paste those files into the right new directories after you reinstall the games on the new hard drive. GameSave Manager could do this all for you as it has a backup option even if you haven't used it before but I don't know if that works on a corrupted drive.

Does anybody know much about the current state of Kenshi? The dev's site seems to suggest it's still underway, but news coverage has been real sparse in the preceding months, Steam's user reviews are all fairly old (and of questionable value anyway), and I think the SA thread has fallen into archives. I know the watchword for Early Access is "don't bother unless you'd be interested right now, but I'm having trouble getting a handle on what right now looks like.

At ~5:00 he exclaims OH HE IS NOTTT PLEASED while shooting fireballs at a 'giant crab'. The crab wasn't really visibly doing anything different than it was before he started hitting it with fireballs, except it was very very slowly moving towards him in a vaguely threatening manner. It died before it moved 10 feet. Then it proceeded to ragdoll flail around it's penis stalks or whatever while the streamer feigned surprise at the next whatever was happening. I stopped watching at that point. edit: I randomly clicked to various points in the stream and every fight I witnessed was "fireball fireball fireball (dodge backwards if npc not dead) fireball fireball fireball loot corpse" except for one part where he was duelling a guy with swordplay and when he got hit a few times he resorted back to fireball tactics.

Azran posted:Holy poo poo Nosgoth is really fun. First match and I already have enough cash to buy some abilities, it seems. Founder Packs are 50% off so there's no better moment to jump in; I'd do so but my ping is 240ms when I play, and while the netcode is still pretty good, it feels weird. Assuming you're talking about gold, the store pretty much lies to you. The listed price is for renting unlocks for a limited time; permanent unlocks are thousands of gold. I guess on the one hand it lets you try stuff out before committing to it, but on the other hand it just makes me think back to the shittier iterations of Gunbound. And IME the netcode (or maybe just vampire melee hit detection) is actually pretty iffy at times. It's still really, really good though. Assuming you don't get stuck with uneven teams. Or people who have no clue what the gently caress they're doing and have no capacity to learn from their mistakes. Not that I'm still mad.
