I bought a game from G2A and when I downloaded it the game came out of my computer and it stabbed my cat and then Steam took the game away from me. Or I just can't buy things from G2A in the first place because my bank card blocks transactions from the site anyway and I have to call them up to let them authorise it.

Done with Satellite Reign. It's uh... I had fun with it, but I'd like to warn people about how buggy it can be. Just be careful if you're considering the title. I have had escort targets somehow not understand how to climb down a vent and instead clip into oblivion. Or they'd get through one just find and not be able to get through a second one. Same deal with doors that connect two places to each other. One time, one of my squad decided to fuse with a wall and refused to move. Another time, everyone's pathfinding broke and they couldn't navigate a simple walkway, I assume this was due to the height and how it was near the edge of the map. Navigating can be iffy since cover spots, in addition to pathfinding, can be occasionally inconsistent. Enemy AI can break, causing them to stay in place, group together into a gigantic cybermass, and other things that I can't remember anymore. Or how cameras respawn making some of the No Big Brother achievements impossible. I've also seen my Soldier guy fall out of the map and die during the final battle. And then he respawned out of the map once to die again, I think. Despite all of that, the core game is quite fun. I enjoy hacking enemies into becoming a part of my army and shooting/stealthing my way through with my augmented jerks. Grenades and rockets are pretty sweet. However, those bugs are horrendous and seem to come out more and more as you near the end of the game.

Yeah, I deeply enjoyed it for most of the playthrough and the core gameplay is solid, but the CBD - the final area of the game - got bugged to hell for me, so I pretty much called it quits there.

Zombie Samurai posted:Seriously you guys, Stray Cat Crossing is really good. thank you for the recommendation, and keep up the good work I already had 5 games on your list so far - my (short) takes: Knock, Knock - What a strange glorious thing this is. CAPSULE - Oxygen, Propellant, Clean pants. Choose two. System Shock 2 - I loved the demo, I loved the full game, and 15 years later I love being able to easily play it once more. Shattered Haven - Oh Arcen.... I want to like this game, but I end up playing Bionic Dues instead. Our Darker Purpose - Like The Binding of Issac but... not as coherent.

Infinitum posted:Jackbox Party Pack 2 launches tomorrow. Bidiots is, like, a bit complicated for a party game. I guess it could be fun if everyone takes a minute to get the rules down before starting, but "making profit off auctions by artificially inflating prices and then tricking/forcing other people into buying overpriced product" is not as pick-up-and-play as their other stuff. It's also less fun in that you draw stuff but it's not as goofy as Drawful.

For those who bought 7.62mm you might want to try the Blue Sun mod. It's made by a goon and assuming it's still up-to-date eases the player into the game much easier that hard life; at least it was last time I played it. Hard life is nice but it has a kitchen-sink approach to content and you get everything both bad and good and with a game like 7.62mm more doesn't necessarily translate into better. Also ignore the store page about the improved English translation. Nothing outside of a miracle can save that script so be prepared to just have a base understanding of what the gently caress is actually going on while the words, "oval office", "gently caress", and "poo poo" are strewed all over.

So I've been playing Transformers Devastation a bit, and I'd like to tell you guys that it's a pretty great game. So that's what I'm going to do. It's a platinum game, the gold standard for beat'em ups. There are 5 characters with unique special moves and Car Attacks. They've taken a lot of the good things from previous platinum games, (witch mode, parry attacks, getting sick nasty combos and dynamic music.) They've created a great product with little to no fan fare. The item creation system is a bit basic for my tastes, as it stands now you put throw away items into your main item, and then pick 3 / 4 abilities. The fourth based on other weapons you've synthesized into the original weapon. It's actually kind of fun though, and gives you something to do with all the random trash you have. You'll still be carrying around a pretty big arsenal, and it'll warn you if you're about to synthesize something you have on another dude. Grimlock is in this game, he is a dinosaur. Instead of turning into a car, he turns into a fire breathing T-rex, it is actually pretty close to as awesome as that sounds. His gameplay style is very different from the othre four, but if you're good at platinum games you'll be good with Grimlock or anyone really. The voice acting is the original 80s cast for all except for one guy who isn't around anymore. It does have flaws, the majority of the systems are pretty obtuse, and rely on you knowing how to play a platinum game. The tutorial mission was a little hard for me even though I had just came out of revengeance. There are stats and I'm still not quite sure how they work, but eventually you can max everything with everyone, so I'm not too worried about it, and it seems your weapon stats matter more. All in all, I'd definitely recommend getting this game, maybe not at $60 but you can find coupons for GreenmanGaming, and I think some steam coupons are rolling around. I'm personally happy with my purchase, and the game is definitely going to be something I'll be playing over a few times.

Witcher 1's jank was pretty bad but I powered through it with the help of some mods that fixed some of the issues. Stash in your inventory, campfire anywhere, cat's eye on and off without a potion (not really needed honestly) and that one where Geralt runs like 20 times his normal speed so you can just get from point a to point b and not be bogged down in the swamp. The speed reverts to normal when you go into combat. Combat sucked til Igni was buffed all the way. After that everything burned. MagusDraco fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Oct 12, 2015 |

I've waited so long. I don't know if you like old-school FPSs, but Half Life 2 episodes are pretty cool, you should play those, there's plenty of time until the last episode launches.  Seriously, though, I jumped on both TftB and LiS and I really don't regret doing that. I might have even jumped TWD S1 early on, and I don't regret doing that either.

Drifter posted:And it was still the best rpg at the time of its release. Two worlds was one of the alternatives at the time, so it's slightly damning with faint praise, but I don't get a lot of the hate around Witcher 1. Janky in places, but not outright bad. Very enjoyable once you get past a couple of the more annoying sections, like the hellhound. Witcher II likewise had a couple of bullshit sections; timing the dragon just right was way more finicky that it should have been, but it was a very solid RPG. It should be pointed out that I've tried to get on with 'Gothic', but I just can't. Drifter posted:It's really impressive just how much CDProjekt has improved, development-wise. Yeah, I think having Gog there to smooth out some of the patchy revenue has really helped them.

I don't understand this post. Shouldn't the better game be the one that you enjoyed playing more? But since we were originally talking about "best in that year" anyway (Mass Effect 2 came out a year earlier than Witcher 2), the better comparison might be Witcher 2 and Skyrim. And I think that those are pretty much on par with each other; The Witcher 2 had more complex systems, but Skyrim gave the player more agency. And if you include mods, I'd say that Skyrim is the better game overall e: And I say that despite disliking the trend toward massive open world environments QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Oct 12, 2015 |

Yeah, I got so far with Risen and decided that it was too railroady, particularly after spending all my money trying to beat that one swordsman in the swamp. Risen 2 was just really drat slow, and had that set of natives in the middle of the first Island with the instakill darts. With both games I was never entirely certain with what I should be doing. I'll give Gothic 2 another go at some point. Drifter posted:I think Witcher 1 was better written and had more complete systems, but not as cinematically refined. Witcher 1 definitely tried to give you choices that went beyond 'good/evil', which is something that they've carried on to the extent where you're given a choice of two subtley different poo poo tacos, and they don't try to enforce the witcher neutrality. Boob cards were ahead of their time. Hav fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Oct 12, 2015 |
