DrManiac posted:Man, they refuse to put this on sale for under $20 Thy refuse to give battlefield 4 a decent discount too. That poo poo's 2 years old and the best they've ever gone is half price. Is the premium edition actually worth £12.50 (i'm only really interested in the single player campaign)? edit: urgh, that's not even the complete version which is still £25, gently caress origin.

As someone who likes Battlefield (although even I didn't buy Hardline), please don't play Battlefield for the single player campaign.

Finished Tales of the Borderlands. Glad I waited until it was all out, I hate episodic nonsense. It is really really good. That whole end sequence was great. "Oh @#$! Nobody's ever put me in charge of something so expensive! You, sir, are almost certainly going to regreat this!" Loaderbot, best bot.

The single player campaign for BF4 is a complete waste of your time unless you want the three gun unlocks for multiplayer. In that case, get someone's save.

The save on the PC thread's OP allows you to get all 6 unlocks by playing the last mission once. The SP is amazingly bland and aggresively boring.

drat it, I have 3 indie-ish games I want to try but none of them are on substantial sale. Buying all 3 of them would be $27 which seems blasphemous, especially during a sale event, so could someone talk me down from getting any of them? I might end up not getting Paint it Back (Because I already have a few mobile picross games) but I'm in desperate need of a casual non-bejeweled game to come down from all of the high intensity games I have.

So your advice is to buy none of them right now? Okay

Paint it back is worth the 8 bucks imo. It's easier to control than mobile versions, and I got a solid 30+ hours out of 100% it.

WW2, zombies, and ARPGs: overplayed genres that, when combined, managed to catch my eye. Thanks for posting about this game; I'll try it out since it's pretty drat cheap as-is and post about my impressions when I get the time.

I'd like to hear some opinions on a few games from my wishlist that happen to be on sale: Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic - some kind of pixel art rpg/roguelike The Deer God - a platformer where you're a deer, how does it compare to other well-known titles out there? Dex - a side-scrolling cyberpunk RPG Hand of Fate - some kind of card game Castle In The Darkness - a metroidvania game White Night - a stylish black and white adventure game MISSING: An Interactive Thriller - a FMV adventure game which I hope is like a B movie Any thoughts on these?

Palpek posted:Hand of Fate - some kind of card game I really wanted to like this but ended up returning it. The premise is really interesting but combat felt so stiff and annoying for me. I understand it's not going to be as smooth as Arkham/SoM but the problem is not merely the quality, but the clunkiness of the combat animations threw off my timing and I kept getting hit, or losing my combos/rhythm a lot more than I should have. If that's something you can look past then by all means go for it. I just couldn't see myself playing much more of it without groaning at how not-smooth it was for me.

Palpek posted:Dex - a side-scrolling cyberpunk RPG They really nailed the platforming and atmosphere in this one. The art is beautiful. It's brought down a bit by the story and combat. The story is fairly cliche (but presented well) and the combat is a little bit of a mess. I still recommend it overall though.

Max Wilco posted:Has anyone here tried the Mega Man Legacy Collection? I was reading about the collection before it came out, and it sounded like they had worked pretty hard to port the game over, and that it wasn't just the games presented via an emulator. However, I heard it ended up having some issues with input lag and poor audio. One major thing I heard is that it mimics the slowdown effects as they would appear in the original game, but there's no way to disable it. I was somewhat disappointed in the challenge levels. Mega Man is fully equipped in every challenge so gameplay is reduced to how fast you can get the Rush Jet or Magnet Beam out. It's cool for speedrunners who take advantage of glitches but it saps the fun out of it for those looking for a normal challenge. If you are looking for on port quality the GAF thread is full of it

Has anyone checked out Endless Sky? Normally I skip the 'free to play' games, but I just happened to get curious on this one, after hovering over it and reading "inspired by the classic Escape Velocity series". Oooooohhhhh??? I grew up on Macs, and I loving loved Escape Velocity. Wait... no, it isn't inspired by Escape Velocity. It is Escape Velocity. It looks just like it. It plays just like it, down to the default controls using the arrow keys for ship control. It is essentially Escape Velocity 2015 with some marked improvements. The map navigation system is better, and I really appreciate how you can check prices of commodities from the map, so you can see where the high and low prices are. The game also includes a bank loan system; you start the game out taking a loan to buy your first ship, and you have to pay it off (at a stupid low interest rate). I'm only about an hour or two in, so I'm still using my first ship. Within another hour of game play I expect I'd be able to upgrade to a bigger shuttle, though I can't decide if I should focus on transporting people or cargo. My one complaint is the sound. Read the credits and you'll see the game is completely open source, and uses open source resources for the planet images and the sounds. There is no music, and audio from gameplay is sparce. They need to tweak the engine sounds; on my newbie shuttle, the sound 'pops' badly. So... Escape Velocity, completely free-to-play, not freemium, open sourced with plugin mod support, available for Win, Linux and Mac.

I liked and finished Hand of Fate myself, I had no major issues with the combat. The last couple of levels get really punishing but for the most part I had a lot of fun with the game, put about 25 hours into it.

Dead Island GOTY, Saint's Row 4 Game of the Century Edition, and Metro Redux coupons from there don't stack with other discounts. Talos Principle, Shadow Warrior, Dropsy, Heavy Bullets, and OlliOlli 2 do.
