Drifter posted:YOu want to buy the DLC? AHaha. The talking pants have literally 3 spoken lines repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, and you'll never use the dye kits. ...huh, OK then, well I'm not sure why it doesn't link to it via the main D:OS storepage then - if it had, I think I would've shared your opinion on the DLC as well! (admittedly I didn't really look very deeply into it - as you could probably tell!) Yeah I think I'll avoid it, and just continue to enjoy the vanilla game. I thought there MUST'VE been something good about it, if I'm enjoying the base game so much, and if they're charging $10 for it! Although clearly I was a touch too trusting, there. EDIT: Got another D:OS question, actually. Do those "inert stones" ever get a use (another use?) later on? Or are they useless, and instead just something to sell off ASAP - or not pick up at all?

Also yeah, don't buy the DLC, at least not for in-game content purposes.

Hog Inspector posted:If you want to do digital art you're better off going to ctrl-paint, they have some very good tutorials. If you mean that you want to do traditional art on canvas or paper, there's not really any instructional games for that to my knowledge. Thanks for the suggestion but I was hoping to find something that was more like an interactive tutorial/program I could dick around with on my windows 8 tablet.

Looks like nVidia is now including Borderlands: the Pre-Sequel download codes with their higher-end 700 cards (770, 780, 780 Ti). Amazon and Newegg are included in the promotion at the very least.

Decent discounts normally, but they usually have a 20-25% off coupon listed on the front page. That, plus whatever credit they throw at you through Playfire can get you stuff crazy cheap.

mr. nobody posted:I'm giving it (Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages) a(nother) try later today with a controller because I gave up my first try after 30 minutes for the same reason as you. Result: much better, went through the first couple of tutorial missions without getting angry at the controller controls

So did Uplay ever get those savegame corruption issues straightened out? Been waiting to play Driver SF since the xmas sale and I don't really wanna deal with a new potentially buggy game distribution client until it's at least on the same level of usability as Origin.

Reading this and the last thread, it seems that Uplay experiences vary wildly. I, for one, played through the entirety of Driver: SF a while back without any fuss of any sort from Uplay. Which probably means you'll get the bad side of the coin and the game will refuse to even run.

I've been playing through Lost Planet 3 for a few hours and I really am enjoying it. It's a little slower paced than your standard 3ps (3rd person shooters) but that's mainly a result of the story it's telling. The shooting is pretty fun and there are a few guns of the standard variety so far - machine gun, pistol, grenades and shotguns. You get a giant Mech to do missions in as well and can upgrade aspects of it if you'd like. It's got really nice setting details - nothing that really stands out, but everything feels like it should. you're a mercenary miner in a hostile land with a group of other scientists and miners working a gig and it's no fun living there. The visuals are subdued, but I think really suit the setting - a giant fuckoff stormy ice planet. The game really reminds me of Dead Space. Except LP3 is a character story with horror while Dead Space was just a Horror story. I liked Dead Space, and it was certainly you know...more horrory, but LP3 is giving me a nice The Thing vibe (even though I really doubt the story is at all similar). It's just a little more chill. If it goes on sale again I'd suggest you pick it up if you don't need SERIOUS EXTREME ACTION ACTION ACTION all the time in your 3rd person shooters. I like the story. Also, don't anybody buy Divinity: Original Sin DLC. It gives you poo poo items in game. It's not worth the current price. Buy it for a buck or two for the soundtrack you'll never listen to.

I just played the 'Crystal Dynamics' trilogy of Tomb Raider games (Legend, Anniversary, Underworld). I wasn't crazy about the combat, but I loved the environmental puzzles. Are there any other games that do that sort of thing well?

On the other hand LP3 runs out of ideas 1/3 of the way through, the combat becomes incredibly repetitive, and takes what actually was an interesting "frontier mining" aesthetic and cast and turns them into yet another freedom fighter group battling the Big Bad.

By "3D Prince of Persia games" He means Sands of Time and its subsequent sequels. Never under any circumstances should anyone ever play Prince of Persia 3D. I think there was a remake of Sands of Time, but I'm not sure if it was any good. edit: wait, Forgotten Sands wasn't a remake but a sequel? Huh.

Wow Consortium is really short. Finished it up in 3 hours with little busywork in between. I really dont like the framing device of the game, which is pretty much 'You're in a video gaaaaame!' especially when it really starts to intrude in the end section.

I just finished Prince of Persia 08, while we're on the subject. And people say Mass Effect 3 has a bad ending!! That's the 25th game I've beaten since the Summer Sale. Livin the backlog dream

The Lone Badger posted:Anyone got the new Risen? yes it is fun and good and I am like 14+ hours in and maybe I'm almost close to the end of the story? You can never tell with risen games. is it worth $50? do you have $50 and want to play risen 1 with the theme of gothic in the setting of risen 2? go for it do you have no idea what those are? play risen 1 then decide. But seriously though, seriously: if you played risen 1/2, there are so many references you'll drop multiple deuces

Are any of the Total War games on sale at Humble (most of them) worth it as a cheap 4-5 man mass army battle? Something like that sounds like a good laugh but I don't know how well Total War is built around 4-5 man skirmishes.

Eh, it's still better written then 90% of the games out there. And at least it keeps the characters human as they make that transition. It also pulls a few nice tricks to make that obvious twist from being too obvious the people you'd assume to be the evil bads end up joining you because they are your loving friends. I'd like to see more of that from Spark, but I doubt they'll keep getting work at this point. I'd also like to see more goons play LP3, because everyone I've convinced to play it has enjoyed the setting/atmosphere/story enough to ignore the combat failings.

Unlucky7 posted:Sanctum 2 seems alright, but does it have legs if I want to play solo? This game is absolutely miserable solo. Also the game came out with a patch that pretty much made the final levels beatable with only one strategy and requiring 4 people. It was fun to start but now, I'm pretty turned off of it.

Dragon Commander is turning out to be fairly fun. No patience for RTS shenannigans? Just get your troops to follow you as you fly across the landscape and gently caress up everyone with fireballs. Yes you play a dragon that has a goddamn jetpack.

While I didn't like the RTS aspects of Dragon Commander, I have to give it props for being the only fantasy game that will ever have a "legalize gay marriage?" prompt.
