In Metro your eavesdropping affects your character's morality (generally positively) and can impact which ending you get, so you've got that going for you

Crabtree posted:So far the only fault I can find in this game is that they turned Patty from a respectable swashbuckler into a pirate clown. I don't know, I posted this in the RPS comments section since this is outrage worthy for them, there's nothing really wrong with that outfit. It looks like something out of Hook and I kind of dig that. It's just a corset someone sneezed bright paint on. I've seen worse at renaissance fairs. The best part is she's wearing regular boots. No stiletto heels or anything. That in itself is fantastic. (I'm looking at you Divinity: Original Sin)

That linked software would do nothing for a person like that.

So, the folks over at SteamDB has uncovered a bunch of new features coming in Steam Store v6. Steam Guard working with Google Authenticator, anyone?

"Curators" sounds reminiscent of the "build your own storefront" feature that was supposed to make Greenlight irrelevant. Maybe this is a first pass at that.

DoombatINC posted:In Metro your eavesdropping affects your character's morality (generally positively) and can impact which ending you get, so you've got that going for you Might be worth waiting on the Redux version of Metro 2033. They've done a hell of a lot more than your average 'HD' version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZwVvl71JnM Looks like a full remake, running on the Last Light engine (which not only looks better, but runs much smoother). They're upgrading the gameplay too, so the combat and stealth should be much tighter too. I love what they've done with the environments - it looks much more frozen and winter'y in 2033, to contrast more with the meltwater-flooded spring tones of Last Light.

Risen 3: If you have an undying love for European jank RPGs, pick it up when it hits $10. Maybe don't otherwise.

That Redux double-pack is going to be seriously great unless they somehow gently caress something up terribly at the last moment. Not bad for a small, frequently-underfunded Russian studio.

I couldn't get into the Gothic or Risen series at all, and I'm usually a sucker for third-person RPGs. Probably didn't help that I started with Gothic 3. Metro: Last Light is definitely worth a playthrough.

They are products of a bygone era without question. To answer what some of you who do enjoy Gothic/Risen 1 may be asking, Risen 3 is Risen 2 except not poo poo (all the good parts of Risen 1 are back). It's still maybe not worth $60.

Kin posted:I just started playing the secret world but the keyboard/mouse controls feel a little off, is there a way to set up a gamepad to be used with it? The best option is to have a mouse with a numpad on the side. Takes a bit of getting used to, but it ends up feeling more playable after that.

Okay, that's the kind of information I was waiting for. Still not sure it's worth only 50% off for previous owners (especially since Last Light Redux only looks like a GOTY edition with the mostly lackluster DLC I already have) but the Metro 2033 Redux looks like something I wouldn't hesitate at all on for 66% or 75% off. Might even get it for the $12.50 if early reviews say its worth it.

I have a hard time figuring out goon dis-recommendations because lots of people go "Eh, wait for a Steam sale when it's $10" even if it's something like Wolfenstein or their personal Game of the Year.

If you've played Risen 1, or the Gothic games, or if you can imagine STALKER as a third person RPG instead of an FPS, you're pretty much familiar with what's on the table. It's certainly more playable and looks nicer than any RPG Piranha has made before, but it's still super janky, super old school and really questionable. I'm not one of the "Never ever buy things that aren't 90% off!" people, in fact I'm kind of the opposite when it comes to supporting devs, but really really don't buy this for $60 unless you somehow have a carnal need for what I just described. Even then, it was on sale for half-off before it even launched, just have some patience and look around. Orv fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Aug 13, 2014 |

Man, I can't wait for the Square Enix press release on how the new Tomb Raider wasn't successful and that they are canceling future games in the series because of this dumb exclusivity deal. Or we'll just see a Turbo Edition on PC and PS4 half a year later.

Playing the first game after all these years was a horrible experience even for some like me who played them to death when they came out. After playing 99% of third-person titles with gamepad going back to keyboard in addition to the atrocious control scheme is almost literally painful. Probably didn't help that Arcania happened which kind of hammered the point home that after Gothic 3 nope, they can't make them anymore.

To be fair, ArcaniA wasn't developed by PB at all, but I think the curtain had already fallen on Gothic after 3 was so, so bad.

So, the Japanese side of Playism is taking pre-orders for the new Touhou game. Huh. While this doesn't mean an official localisation is immanent, it does make me think that someone received a big bag of money. In any case, that does mean there's little excuse for  in this case, especially considering that it'll probably get a fan translation into EFIGS within 24 hours of launch.

Where Touhou goes, everything else follows. The Playism JP site is really easily navigated too (it's identical to the english site, and Google Translate works fine on it) and I believe they take Paypal, so it makes buying stuff really easy. Edit: Also, yeah, Touhou games tend to get fan-translation patches almost immediately. So the game is as good as released in English already.

There's one question about Risen 3 I have to know: Can you walk the wrong way in the beginning and be killed by horrible and terrible monsters? Nothing beats Gothic 2 where, 10 steps to the right of the main gates to the central town you run into a pack of black goblins that just goose-stomp your rear end. That is if you got past the fire-breathing lizard or the Shadowbeast.

This way they can get a big fat paycheck from Microsoft, eliminate any kind of doubt from shareholders with the giant paycheck and re-release it later on other systems. It's the developers who really suffer from this kind of poo poo, I can guarantee nobody at Crystal Dynamics is getting that sweet Microsoft cash.

I'll most likely pick the game up tomorrow and use the 20% code at greenmangaming. I just hope it doesn't teeter out like Risen 1 did. Boy did the last 2/3 of that game stink. Just funneling you through all those underground, lizardmen-infested dungeons.

Say what you will about Velvet Assassin, but I really enjoyed that game when I played it on Xbox 360. It's 74 CENTS on Steam right now. I swear I wouldn't recommend a game that has no redeeming values, but Velvet Assassin is fun and I highly suggest that you at least [i]consider buying it for yourself. http://store.steampowered.com/app/16720/

Oddly enough, Frontier (developers of RCT3, as well of lots of really bad games) also announced a roller coaster game today at Gamescom, though it's Xbox-exclusive. Both that and RCTW are assured to be absolutely terrible - RCTW is being done by these dudes. There will never be a good, new RCT game as long as Atari continues to exist and hold the license  Co-op is a surprising and slightly encouraging announcement, though. Wonder if the devs got the idea from OpenTTD.
