Hahah, I was wondering if anyone would catch that.

Essentially what happened was: I nuked my entire old wishlist (which contained like 1.8k+ titles and crashed some friends' browsers) since I had a nasty habit of pretty much wishlisting everything that came out so I'd get email prompts for when stuff went on sale.

Then someone gifted me Sakura Spirit because it was on there and I never actually caught on what kind of game it was. :smith:

After that I just pressed the big red button. Thank christ Enhanced Steam lets you do wipe the entire list with one click. That new list was me basically adding back everything I was at least a little interested in.

Are there any good games on Steam for just tearing down and destroying stuff with the most and biggest explosions and debris possible? Red Faction Guerrilla Just Cause 2 and are good ones, anything else?

Broforce/Expendabros. The latter is a free extended demo of the former so check it out.

Well personally, I found Kel to be pretty shallow in how it went about things.

EDIT: Not that the humor is shallow or anything but the gameplay itself is pretty shallow.

This is how I felt about Lili: Child of Geos. There just really isn't much there. The fact that the asking price is $20 (for Lili, not Kel) is hilarious. It is absolutely a bundle game, which it is in right now. Fun little time waster while listening to podcasts/music, but that's it.

At least Kel is priced fairly for the content.

Kerbal Space Program. Also the hilarity answer is Demolition Simulator or whatever. Or various Crysis mods designed to explode your GPU.

Non Steam but. If you can get an old copy of Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction, it doesn't have a ton of destruction but it is very good. (There are three characters, the biggest difference is whether you want to listen to Peter "Where is pancakes house?" Stormare, Phil "Hey he does half the extras on Futurama" Lamarr, or Jennifer "This is my favorite voice actress on the Citadel" Hale. The game never got a sequel, don't let people trick you into thinking otherwise.)

I hope that when Five Nights at Freddy's gets released on Steam that they at least upscale the resolution. Because I tried playing the game by launching it through Steam, and the Steam overlay takes up a sizeable chunk of the right side of the screen. Every time a friend sends messages it covers up the panel for the lights and door, which is pretty gamebreaking.

Well Lili was an iOS game first, which is probably why it's incredibly shallow. It's meant to be played in very small doses while you're bored at work or sitting in a waiting room, not all at once in front of your computer. It's a shame too because the game's gorgeous, I just didn't find myself engaged by it at all while I was playing.

For the XBOX though, sure, why not. I guess.

I can see noticeably better looking armor on the HD side in the PC video.

The few faces that show up look alright. They at least fixed the fact the main character looks like a zombie fish for half the game.

The shadows/atmospheric stuff looks great. Having just finished the PC version recently, the "Xbox" video you posted is nearly 1:1 with the experience, if you raised the resolution a bit.

That's not counting the better designed menus, the ability to use a controller ( Fable on PC doesn't let you use one natively! ), and the QoL improvements like a better designed hotbar menu.

It may not be $35 worth of improvements, but this is Steam, just buy it when it's $10 in a few months.

Well that makes more sense I guess. It makes the $20 asking price even dumber though.

Just Cause 2.

It doesn't technically have full building destruction like Red Faction, but it does have enough ridiculous physics, gunfire, and constant explosions to make Michael Bay weak in the knees.

Gotten back into TF2 as something to play with my buddy as an alternative to Borderlands. I played a decent amount (maybe like 40-50 hours?) back when I was in college but I never considered myself to be all that good. Is it just me or have people gotten noticeably worse at the game? I've found myself near the top pretty much every game recently and everybody seems to just run around without any sort of strategy. Maybe it's because it's free to play now :iiam:

Which class do you play as? I always found that if I played the heavy I'd be on the top in terms of k/d almost all of the time, but scout/soldier was somewhere behind that, and the other classes I used just for fun. Maybe you're just good at racking up kills? Do you play the objective-based game modes and do well there, too? 420 sell hats and items every day.

I tend to rotate between scout, heavy and pyro. I mostly play the modes where you capture points and the mode where you push the cart and try to stick to objectives. Just seemed like when I used to play it people were really loving good at that game to the point where I'd just get destroyed every time. Now I see a bunch of pyros running straight at me from across the map, soldiers that can't land a rocket to save their lives, that kind of thing. And playing as the heavy is absolutely hilarious because it seems like nobody knows how to shut them down anymore. My friend and I had a couple games where we'd just sit back until the uber was up and then basically win the game with one uber.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I forgot Mercenaries 2 was on PC, think I might pick that up. RF: Armageddon I tried and yeah while I was hopeful at the start it turned into a weird cave simulator extremely fast. Just Cause 2 and Broforce I already have and finished. Anything else you can think of? Just gigantic havoc-simulators.

Yah, my wishlist is huge, but it is more my 'oooh, this looks cool' list than a wishlist. Sometimes I add stuff that's on a daily too, not because I'm fishing for gifts but for "I kind of want this but I don't want to buy it today. Maybe next time its on sale."

Often something will go on sale and I'll look at it and be like "why did I want this, anyway?" and just delete it instead of buying it.

I think Prototype 2 is for PC? If so get that immediately.

Edit: You don't really destroy buildings though, just people. Fleshy, weak people.

Super Joy (The pink one) is okay, it's made to be frustratingly hard though. If you like your platformers with super precise jumps with a time limit behind it(the levels scroll as you go if I remember right), then it's decent. I got frustrated after about 6 levels and set it down, but never felt the urge to go back.
