Is there anyone who would like a gifted copy of Payday 2? I bought a 4-pack like two years ago, and still have two extra copies. Especially anyone with an extra copy of Zombie Army trilogy that they could gift me in return...

Who would say TNO gets better after the prologue? I mean, it does, but the prologue is still great.

In unrelated news, Kragger was cursed by a gypsy witch to be a kind and generous person who everyone likes. If you listen closely, some nights when the sales are full you can hear his gifting-cry echo across the hills.

SelenicMartian posted:Which of the many Shadowruns is good and why? I've only played Shadowrun Returns and it's supposed to be the weakest of the three, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. My main gripe is that it's not as fleshed out as it could be, i.e. none of the systems have as much depth as I'd like. It's still totally worth the $3 and 8-10 hours you'll spend on it, though. I wrote more about it here if you want to know more.

SelenicMartian posted:Which of the many Shadowruns is good and why? Dragonfall is better than returns because of engine improvements, but I've read you can just get both, import Returns' campaign into Dragonfall and play it that way. The recommended entry point is Dragonfall DC as I understand it.

SelenicMartian posted:Which of the many Shadowruns is good and why? Dragonfall and Hong Kong are both really good. Depending on how you build your character, you can get through entire areas without fighting. Returns (usually referred to as Dead Man's Switch) is alright but, nowhere near as good as the other two. Feel free to skip that one.

Not on Steam, but how is Battlefield 4 these days? The premium edition w all the DLC content is $20, which looks pretty tempting! Is there still a decent amount of people playing the game? edit - I should mention that I'd be interested in trying out a new FPS. The new Rainbow 6 looks neat but is bogged down by microtransaction bullshit? CerebralDonut fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Dec 29, 2015 |

Kibayasu posted:Who would say TNO gets better after the prologue? I mean, it does, but the prologue is still great. The prologue is so great, in fact, I wish it made up more of the game. The 60s alternate history stuff is unique but I absolutely loved seeing classic Wolfenstein stuff in a new game. I think it's for this reason that I ultimately love The Old Blood more than TNO. Castles, catacombs, tech labs... it had it all!

I actually liked the writing and characters/story in TNO more than the shooting.  Shooting was still great, but I elected not to get Old Blood because I'd herd the focus was more on gunplay than, uh...writeplay. TNO was really, really good. My surprise game of the year. I was not looking forward to it in the slightest. SelenicMartian posted:Which of the many Shadowruns is good and why? Shadowrun Chronicles is not made by the same dev house that makes the good ones. Chronicles is some sort of lazily Shadowrun-esque multiplayer game or whatever where you go on samey shadowruns forever. Harebrained makes the 'good' three - Shadowrun 1 (Deadman's Chest), SH2 (Dragonfall), and SH3 (Hong Kong). SH1 is 'okay' story-wise and has the least evolved gameplay, 2 and 3 improve on it with 2 being the best story but 3 being a little deeper into characters and poo poo. 3 has more and slightly better shadowruns - /missions - whereas 2 has fewer. Get Dragonfall and Hong Kong and then Deadman's, in that order. If you get 1, you can import it into Dragonfall's engine, which makes 1 a little more fun, but...  They're all short-ish, so you won't be spending Baldur's Gate 2 levels of time on each one. I didn't really like any of them, with regards to the combat. I thought it was just so loving stupid and boring. A lot of people seem to like the combat gameplay, so that's a matter of opinion. They make better adventure games than any strategy-ish combat games. They have fun writing, though. I kickstarted Shadowrun 1, and bought Dragonfall, and then decided not to buy Hong Kong - I played it with a friend about halfway through before I decided to not play anymore.

BexGu posted:How is Half Minute Hero 2 different then 1? -The Hero 30 mode is the only mode in the game, but is greatly expanded upon, with 5 different story arcs to go through -More story-focused than the previous title. The satire takes a while to build up to, but the punchline is worth it. -"Open world" map system and hidden dungeons to explore to get new gear -Map-maker -The PC version of the game has received a significantly better port than its predecessor -Multiplayer with lobbies There's a lot I'm forgetting, but I summed up the critical points.

Drifter posted:It's keeping me entertained. Imagine the text based parts of pillars of eternity or something along those lines, with an AD&D tabletop miniatures meta narrative/gameplay and kinda simple, but not boring Batman-lite combat. Hmm, yeah, I'm intrigued by your mention of progressively more complex and lengthy plot lines. It didn't look like a story heavy game, but that is definitely piquing my interest.

-Blackadder- posted:Hmm, yeah, I'm intrigued by your mention of progressively more complex and lengthy plot lines. It didn't look like a story heavy game, but that is definitely piquing my interest. I meant to say it's more of a bunch of small adventure modules - like quests - than, say, Baldur's Gate. Many of those modules then interconnect or get expanded by getting unlocked. it's more like you're playing AD&D with a friend who is dungeon mastering for you. Don't get me wrong, I mean, it's not Grim Fandango with combat or anything. It's fun. I like it. It's up to you if it's ten dollars of fun, but you sound more and more like you'll enjoy it. Play the first two hours and see, and get a refund if you don't like it. The beginning is more simple and becomes a little more complex over time - so if you play it don't just think 'this is it?' and shut it off - , but the game won't, you know, dramatically change - at least not that I can see so far. I went in not expecting anything, and I'll definitely finish the game. I probably won't do the 'endless' mode though. Drifter fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Dec 29, 2015 |

Help me goons, Mad Max or Witcher 3? 'cause I can't afford both. I'm leaning Mad Max because I don't think my computer can run W3.

I'm only an hour and a half into W3, yeah it will probably kill your computer though it is pretty, but so far it has awful controls and camera. Even in the tutorial it's telling me to press a button but won't actually do anything. Extremely disappointed, I upgraded my video card in part to play it and now it's going back for a refund.

Shadow of Mordor is fun and seems to indeed have a really good port, but drat is your guy's walking speed slow. Might as well have made sprint the default.

You might consider Dragon Age: Inquisition. I'm enjoying it, with the understanding that you don't need to do all the collectible sidequests the game throws at you.

And it features one of the worst combat systems I've ever seen in an RPG, along with a terrible counter intuitive UI. But, it does have a moderately big and pretty world with lots to do and see.

Going back to the original request...Red Mundus posted:Help me goons, Mad Max or Witcher 3? 'cause I can't afford both. Steam and Origin both have refund policies now, so you can buy the game and just ask for your money back if you aren't enjoying it in two hours (for Steam) or within the first day after launching it (for Origin.)

Red Mundus posted:I'm leaning Mad Max because I don't think my computer can run W3. If you're worried about performance, then Mad Max might be better. It was a very well optimized port form what I could tell. It ran very well on my 560ti, even though the minimum recommendation was a 660ti, and supposedly on high settings too. What Deakul said is kind of true, the game feels like it was needlessly padded with repetetive side-content simply because its an open world game. The main plot line is pretty entertaining though, so as long as you're not worried about unlocking every last upgrade, you can probably just mostly stick to the missions plus whatever side stuff you feel like doing until you get bored with it. The game also features a neat screenshot mode if you like taking pretty pictures.     Wouldn't hurt to get Witcher 3, and if your computer can't run it then you simply refund it and then buy Mad Max.
