If you bought Invisible Inc. in Early Access, you can download the final release build right now. They released it early as a Thank You for supporting development. If you didn't buy Invisible Inc. in EA, you can buy it next Tuesday and should probably keep an eye on it. It's by the same studio who made Mark of the Ninja, this time tackling the stealth genre from a different angle: turn-based, tactical espionage.

Is Vertiginous Golf any good? Came out of Early Access a few days ago and is in the top tier of the weekly humble bundle for less than its listing on Steam. Reviews seem okay but barely anyone played it during its year of EA. Also is it more arcade or sim in playstyle? I'd prefer my mini-golf to be with a low barrier of entry.

Environmental Station Alpha really impressed me. It took me a while to get used to the ultra low resolution graphics, but once I did, I really enjoyed the game. It's a very good Metroid clone. The map is just so drat packed with stuff to find, and there seems to be a considerable amount of postgame content as well. Be warned though that if you get frustrated easily or are Bad at Video Games I'd highly recommend playing it on easy mode to save yourself some frustration, as some of the bosses are quite challenging in a very old school kinda way.

You know that apogee bundle being sold? I think someone misjudged the magnitude, selling off 20-year-old games for $35 each. Still, I guess some hipsters will buy before the price gets shanked.

I was graciously gifted this in xmas 2014. It's a good, but challenging game. If you want an easy mini-golf game this might not be the best option. If you don't mind the challenge, it might be worth checking out. Chances are it may cheaper in the summer sale (don't quote me on this though).

Spiderdrake posted:Does it have lovely rooms filled with spikes? Nah not really. There are a few spikes here and there in some rooms but they are small segments of spikes and aren't the 1 hit kill kind. There is an optional postgame room that is the very definiton of "lovely room filled with spikes" but again, optional. I'd agree with the above in that the most dangerous hazard is probably the lava/poison pits. But there isn't really all that many of those either, and usually you can get out pretty quickly if you fall in.

Orv posted:DLC and expansions are still different things, even if no-one makes expansions anymore aside from like, the AoW people. 10 hours and 20 hours of gameplay for $30 is a pretty good ask. This is from a couple pages back...but no they aren't. An expansion is a type of DLC, sure...but any Content that you can DownLoad is, in fact, DLC. I don't know why its been hyper trendy lately to vilify DLC but still ask for expansions when those are the same thing. Well, All expansions are DLC (assuming that nobody is putting out physical-release-only expansion content), but not all DLC is expansion packs.

jivjov posted:This is from a couple pages back...but no they aren't. Alright sorry. From a non-pedantic standpoint, the amount of content in a mid to large sized DLC typically doesn't meet up to what you'd classically call an expansion, which is the amount of content people like Firaxis, Triumph and hopefully CDPR with these are delivering. I assume it's from a couple pages back because everyone was on board with that distinction.

Palpek posted:Anybody tried the Controller Companion? The videos showing it work look pretty neat and the fact that it includes small things like saving which game should use the controller as a mouse and which as a gamepad is cool. I've picked it up and it works perfectly. Previously I had Xbstart, which was kind of finnicky when used with Steam Big Picture, and only controlled the Windows 8 start screen. Controller Companion works great for navigating everything. It even intelligently turns itself off and on when games open and close so as not to mess with Steam's own controller functions. It's great. No more getting back up off the couch to deal with an unexpected error window or focus loss. It was worth the 3bux or whatever.

If anything it's even better because now most expansion packs don't require you to own the original base game to play them anymore. See: GTA4: The Lost and the Damned/The Ballad of Gay Tony, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood.

Anyone trying to say "Hurr hurr they advertised free DLC but then are selling expansions" is just trying to start fights and be a troll. Witcher 3 will have both free and paid DLC, and from the sounds of things, the paid stuff will be larger content packs like the old game Expansion Packs. And on a related note; and this is not directed at you, Orv, I absolutely detest people that try to villify DLC in general. There are both good and bad implementations of post-release content (and the myriad ways of selling it)

It's just in the case of TW3 it's weird to discuss because of the admittedly poor way they marketed the whole deal.

Accordion Man posted:Huge warning though, its a roguelike first and foremost so don't expect stealthy XCOM like I did when it was first announced and I bought it off of Mark of the Ninja hype. It was bullshit hard in the alpha and beta I lost all interest in it a long time ago. The MOTN guy left for Campo Santo so the joke was on me thinking the rest of the Klei could make something as great as MOTN again. I had the exact same opinion and reason for originally buying it. The difficulty is all over and I hope it's fixed for the final release. Also got really repetitive after awhile too so hopefully that was addressed.

Not scummy, which is why I think in this one instance a distinction is important, but it was definitely poorly timed.

After messing around with forfeiting races and abandoning championships in Dirt: Rally I am pleased to report it is a roguelight because there is a barrier to save scumming and a currency system that allows you to buy mechanics that give you permanent upgrades.

Red Mundus posted:I had the exact same opinion and reason for originally buying it. The difficulty is all over and I hope it's fixed for the final release. Also got really repetitive after awhile too so hopefully that was addressed. The difficulty has been very manageable for quite some time. If you suck and make a lot of dumb moves the game will punish you mercilessly, but you are allowed one do-over per mission that lets you take an entire turn back and that softens the edge a lot. There is also a selectable difficulty level, with easy mode feeling somewhere between XComs normal and classic levels. There is very little RNG fuckery now compared to many earlier versions that were filled with things like hitrolls and the like. Different agents and AI load outs encourage very different approaches and strategies. You are also now told before a mission what you can expect in way of enemies so it is possible to plan ahead, or outright avoid missions that will be filled with enemies/obstacles you aren't geared up for.

There's a shitton of customizable options now if you just want to have a chill game, ranging from multiple rewinds to going back and redoing the whole level (it re-generates, I think). The rewinds really come in handy when you inevitably forget to close a door, leading to you getting spotted and destroyed by a guard happening to walk past.
