You'll always find some set of goons who will wholeheartedly recommend literally any given game on Steam so this thread/forum can be a bit iffy for game recommendations.

I'm pretty sure that even Freak Futanari will only ironically reccomend the Sakura series of games, so you're safe for Visual Novel recommendations at least!

The way I see it is Van Helsing Final Cut is a little bit more then Grim Dawn, but it's three entire games smashed together.

Just reminded me, is The Long Dark good?

It's probably the most played (certainly the most discussed) game over at The Survival Simulation thread. There's very little to do at the moment but explore poo poo and try to survive, but it does that very well. Plus the art style is fantastic IMO

It's $39 bucks at funstock

coupon code:

That link is from istheranydeal, so I'm leaving their referral info in in case someone buys it.

$39 bucks is pretty loving tempting given it's a $60 game. I know it's bad to preorder poo poo, but...

Funstock managed to dramatically gently caress up their release of COD3 and Fallout 4 so a word of caution if you're planning on buying from them. I suspect that's why they've had a bunch of too-good-to-be-true deals recently, they're trying to regain some of that goodwill they lost.

Princess Evangile All Ages Version



This romance visual novel explores the question of gender integration at a private school. A curious series of events leads to our hero becoming the only boy at a prestigious girls' academy... But over 99% of the girls are against integration!

Finally a VN that's not afraid to challenge contemporary gender issues.

Yes. It contains all of sr2 plus some more stuff. HD is misleading tho cause at high resolution it'll be impossible to read any text. Widescreen support is appreciated though

it's FAERY which is apparently literally unfinished so i may return it
It's the first part of a game series that didn't sell enough to become a series, so while it doesn't just end on a cliffhanger you only get to finish the first chapter.
I kind of liked the ideas they had for the different locales and creature designs but literally nothing about the story, characters, quest design or gameplay is particularly interesting. I'd get that refund.

Worth noting that it's just a sandbox sim now, but they're going to add a full story mode to it. They put out a trailer recently that looks really interesting... way more like The Road or This War of Mine than I was expecting.

I don't know if you mean the same quest I'm thinking of (night, fenced in yard with patrolling volatiles, tons of zombies, a maze) but you can climb on top of the transformers in the yard.

Check spudsbuckley's posting history before you follow him 100% into that long dark. Not to say he's wrong ( I love Grim Dawn ), but he has a very specific set of opinions that 90% of the time do not tie into the opinion track of this thread.

i also said the trick was figuring out who to listen to and rookersh seems to have done that

now its up to blackadder to make his choice

Haha, thanks you guys, but no worries, I already picked it up in a trade this morning.

Actually I traded Onimusha 3 + Clive Barker's Jericho for Shadows of Mordor + Grim Dawn + Van Helsing II. All I need now is Van Helsing III and I can get Final Cut, then WAR MACHINE!

There's no SP campaign, it's all multiplayer - whether you play alongside real people or bots.
