CharlieFoxtrot posted:It's kind of moot because the current game in question is terrible in a genre with many better alternatives. I don't like the defense, though, of "But you're hurting his employees too" when that is, of course, demonstrably false and also has been a rhetorical shield used by lovely owners since the beginning of capitalism It's not "demonstrably false", it's just a lame excuse for warez.

Geokinesis posted:With Grim Dawn with all the talk about fancy crafting/items, how interesting is it? Do weapons give unique effects/skills or is it all mostly just +x% damage. Grim dawn is awesome. It's very deep and there's a lot of content. As far as item customization and crafting, here is an example of one of the legendary items I got. I added a component and an augment to it:  The crafting is pretty neat. You get a ton of component parts as drops, then those can be combined, and then once they are combined to form a full component, they can be crafted together with other components to make different/rare components. It's only going to get more customizable from here I think. The devs are super dedicated. There's also a system called Devotion, where it's another completely separate skill tree for all of the classes to share. It basically makes it so your skills can have skills, in that you can assign these Devotion skills to another skill, so they proc while the other skill is proccing.

Weapon can have effects on them and can include new active and passive skills. Component can do the same thing. The skill tree do have points on them to modify certain skills but it's not for every one.

I could follow it but new people will have no idea that one of the monsters was a pet, the lighting was from a totem, and the spinning blades thing was a pet as well. Something out in the open near homestead or crowlys mines would probably be better since the bodies go flying instead of breaking into bone piles.

I have a very specific request for recommendations: having recently played Musaic Box and Circuits on the rec of someone way upthread from here, I really enjoyed both but found them way too easy. Are there any other "music assembly puzzle" games on Steam? Not just puzzle games where you have to use sound cues to solve them (though those are also cool), but specifically games about reassembling a piece of music. ...I still remember that one challenge in I think The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain, where you had to, like, flip and rotate pieces of sheet music. That was the poo poo. Does anything more modern exist in that genre?

I dunno why they stopped it being on sale partway into the holiday sale For reasons that made sense to one of their higher-ups, some of the Ubisoft games are not using the global sale period; instead they keep going on sale and out as the days go by. It is not random but whatever they are doing is not public either since it's not going according to everything else that is on sale so Valve is not publicizing it.

I always love rpgs set somewhere other than the traditional fantasy setting. Any idea when it's hitting full release?

corn in the bible posted:actually, he died Rip in pieces. They do call 'em Deadnauts for a reason. I have another Roguemas roguelike to talk about today, courtesy of fine Steamgoon Melibe.    There's a certain look and feel that Super Nintendo games had that gets me like no other games do. It's hard to put my finger on exactly, but I think it was a combination of soft-edged sprites and synth woodwind soundtrack that gave a lot of titles a deep, otherworldly feel. TowerClimb somehow manages to evoke that same sense of depth and wonder while relentlessly murdering me again and again in the most delightful ways. Part of the unique feel of TowerClimb comes from the mysterious, parable-like setup for the game. There are immense stone towers, people keep trying to climb them, and no one knows what's at the top. You control a never-ending series of unfortunates who challenge the tower, mantling up through floor after deadly floor. It plays a lot like a reverse Spelunky, with your character able to run, jump, scale walls, and crawl along ceilings in search of the exit high above. In place of treasure are tools like crates and springs, and golden berries that can be traded for potions that let you double-jump, break blocks, and teleport. There's a lot to discover in the tower, and the pixellated graphics make experimentation essential to figuring out what you're encountering. Enemies may get the best of you the first time you meet them, in part because they can be very unpredictable, but mainly because you might not know what they are at first. You'll run into all manner of plants and animals, NPCs, chests, shortcuts, and more among the randomly-generated floors. Navigating is always challenging given some of the layouts, but your control over your character is very precise and allows for masterful moves once you fully grok the mantling. It's hard and you're going to die a ton, but TowerClimb makes it look so good you'll hardly mind. The graphics remind me very much of the old SNES Lemmings port, with chunky detail and silky-smooth animations and bizarre, impossible terrains. Sound design is also excellent, with some very detailed effects and a soundtrack reminiscent of ancient titles like Soul Blazer and Super Metroid in parts. The unexpected nostalgia rush definitely colors my view but make no mistake, TowerClimb is a tight, challenging roguelike platformer with plenty of wonders to offer.
