Wolfsheim posted:I've never played any Souls games but Bloodborne is $24 on PSN, worth it? Souls games are the best games probably ever made IMO, so yeah that's a crazy steal. The only reason not to get it at that price would be if souls' games just really aren't your thing because you don't like the challenge, but if you like ninja gaiden then gently caress it dude pull the trigger already you're gonna love it. Bloodborne doesn't have nearly the variety of dark souls, but it still has TONS of variety, way more than ninja gaiden. There are like 2-3 weapons which are like, a bit OP compared to the rest, but you can absolutely beat the game with any weapon of your choosing.

So I'm apparently getting a second hand 360 in a couple days and I'm wondering what exclusives (or things that may as well be exclusive due to not working properly on other platforms) I should pick up. I'm already looking at getting Bayonetta, Tales of Versperia, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, and possibly Fable 2. What else stands out? I'm leery of shooters due to general homogenization and not having a mouse and keyboard but I've stuck it out before for some. Horror games, not that I expect any, are straight out. Beyond that I'll play almost anything.

drunk asian neighbor posted:I'm looking for a game to play late-night when I'm stoned and about to head to bed. Ideally looking for something turn-based or that vein - something I can take my time with and not feel rushed. I'd like it to be something I can pick up and play 5-15 minutes at a time. Basically, when I'm too tired/high to play an MMO or Far Cry or whatever, I want to play your recommended game. If you don't mind old school graphics and like survival games, Unreal World just got released on Steam and I use it for exactly that purpose. It's an iron-age Finland simulator where you have to survive, craft your stuff, hunt/gather/fish/put out traps for food, wood and pelts, and trade what you can make/gather with villages for those precious things you can't craft like axes or pots, and get better armor and weapons to fight off wild beasts or nasty humans (either bloodthirsty Njerpez warriors that will only settle for your death or simple robbers that will try to get your stuff either by talking or by bludgeoning you over the head). Winter is harsh, you have to build shelter, possibly a log cabin, and get a decent source of food and a good plan for having enough in those dark, scarce months. You can get hurt, ill, die from hypotermia or get mauled by a bear you woke up by traipsing into a cave for shelter from the cold weather. Oh and if you're evil and hungry enough you can just kill off a whole village, cut children to pieces and eat them raw. This will however most probably incur the wrath of the spirits that will gently caress you over by making an angry lynx sneak next to you when you're asleep. Being turn-based means you can take your time, but it can get quite frantic especially in combat, or when running away from a wolf pack or desperatly trying to catch a fish with your spear to avoid starving out. The game has been in development since 1992, I started playing it in 2001 I think back when it was version 2.6 and the game sees semi-regular patches that add content, in the past it was about 1-2 per year but in recent times it's more 3-4 patches per year and it doesn't seem they'll be stopping anytime soon! Best of all, if you're too cheap to get it on Steam, you can get it for free - it's version 3.2 while on Steam it's 3.3, but next week 3.3 should be available for free too and they'll keep maintaining both the free and Steam version afaik (same features too, it's not "lite" or anything). I heartily recommend buying it or making a donation if you enjoy it though, the developers support it non-stop and they clearly love the game so they deserve some money.

Geektox posted:I like the idea of this game but never got into it because of the interface, does it still take 3-4 button presses to perform one action? Sadly yes, there's been a bit of streamlining and rationalizing over time and I personally find it's gotten easier (I think you can actually use the mouse for some things like skill selection and menus now!), but you're still going to press a ton of buttons. Having played it for literally 15 years it's not an issue for me at all but I can see how it might disconcert people, but then again most roguelikes are like this. Just give another spin to the free version and check out the help menu to see if you can come to terms with the keypresses needed, it's very worth it to learn it if you like the concept of the game, it's one of the very best in its genre imo. Actually, since the Steam version is out and hopefully the game is going to get some attention, I'll do a new post about it where we can talk about it if anybody is interested. Edit: aaaand done.

Looking for something mystery-ish or detective-ish. PC would be the easiest, don't care if it's an older game or not. I've played LA Noire, Murdered Soul Suspect, and Heavy Rain - I really liked all three of them in terms of the investigative parts. I like the idea of solving mysteries. Any thoughts?

What are my options for active multiplayer RTS that is not starcraft 2? Is COH2 still regarded as trash? I know it was not so great on release, but I've heard Relic has patched and apparently it might not be so bad now. I loved COH1 and played it for like 5 years. Does COH2 have party matchmaking that actually works easily? I've been playing a lot of Total War: Arena simply because it is easy/quick to find games with a group of friends. Rome 2 multiplayer seems to be pretty active also, 1v1 matchmaking at least.

If you haven't played Her Story that is literally what that is. You have no go into it completely unspoiled on anything in the game though. Other than that... the Witness, kinda?

The latter Sherlock Holmes games have been decent. Crimes & Punishments is almost 100% investigating crime scenes and interrogating suspects. The Testament of Sherlock Holmes has a bunch of quite hard logic puzzles, which don't really sit well with the game. The older games get progressively worse, with their half-baked 3d engine and general adventure game cruft making them close to incomprehensible at times.

What's your tolerance for old games? Because you should track down Westwood's Blade Runner. It's not hard to find the files with some digging and there's a custom installer out there as well if the game doesn't play nice. Also what's your tolerance for anime? Because Danganronpa is like Battle Royale meets Phoenix Wright where you're investigating murder scenes and then have to piece together whodunnit during a grand trial.

If you don't mind REALLY old games, The Colonel's Bequest is one of the very few games in which you actually need to solve the mystery yourself rather than just keep progressing until the mystery is revealed.

The Last Express. It's a bit avant-garde, but it has a very neat real-time/reactive storyline gimmick, and it's very much a detective mystery game.

If you like SUPERHOT you'll probably also like Hotline Miami, if you haven't played one of those. I still think the first has the tighter and better designed levels.

Ronin is awesome but yes, it does expect you to figure some things out for yourself. I have yet to beat NG+, upgraded machine gun enemies are assholes.Gobblecoque posted:A real old but pretty good game in this vein is Realms of the Haunting.

Not finishing it is pretty consistent with thinking it is good and charming. It becomes a slog and also obviously rushed toward the end. See This LP for details (and, of course, for some gameplay).

I liked the old adventure game Still Life, it's about a murder mystery. There's only one puzzle that sucks (baking cookies). I liked it because it's probably the only adventure game I've ever played where I solved all the puzzles myself.

I'm looking for a Mahjong client for PC. It needs to have AI players -- I don't know if Mahjong AI is good enough to practice against to improve, but that's okay, because I mostly just want something to help me learn the rules. Free would be good, sub-$15 would be okay. Working natively on Windows 10 without any tweaks would be a plus.

I need 2 recommendations for different things. Very different things. First: I played Firewatch and absolutely loved it. What are some other games that will tug at the heart strings and have amazing stories? Don't care if it's First Person or not, but I have already played To The Moon (and sobbed like a little small baby). Second: I need a FPS that is very fast to get playing. Doesn't have to be Steam. Can be anything, really. I just want to get up and shooting fast, when I've got a few minutes to kill. Right now I've got nothing that scratches that itch.
