Is DQ Builders more of an adventure game with some Minecraft added in or a Minecraft game with missions? I keep reading prerelease material and I can't tell where it lands.

Its has a story and boss fights and npc characters with things for you to do. Its more arpg than crafting game but usual arpg ways of interacting with the world are replaced with block building in clever ways

I'll never understand people who get so obsessed with having the biggest numbers, but I guess those sorts of autistic/ocd leanings are common with gamers. Tried Diablo 3 and hated it because that game has zero gameplay. There's nothing redeemable if you aren't loot obsessed.

I had the same curiosity. It's just a bad feeling shooter (like bl2 in molasses) with terrible game design decisions. My reason for hating it had nothing to do with Overwatch, which I'd only describe as "slick but uninteresting."

Not sure how you can group these two together if it's not the loot because BL2 shooting is dogshit and Destiny's story is pretty nonsensical.

At least in Borderlands games I could usually find a reasonably effective gun somewhere, though I admit the special boss drops were a LOT more effective and fun and rarely ever show up. But I didn't mind it as much since I wasn't completely beholden to that. And I've heard Destiny got better (there's practically no way it couldn't) so it's lovely of me to blame it for that still, but those were some rough months.

Destiny was never stupidly hard if you played the content in the order it presented it to you. I don't remember having to wait to do other content unless it was the Heroic missions or Hard raids and those required special drops. It was a loot grind sure, but the game was never stupidly hard.

Most of the puzzles involve finding an object in one time and flushing it to someone in the past to change the timeline.

Kenny Logins posted:I got GF from PS+ but I'd also played that back in the day. DotT is the one LucasArts game I've managed to have completely missed, despite being a huge fan of literally every other point + click adventure they've done. Oh wow you're in for a treat. Although it's somewhat linear in that there's only a single ending and only one solution to each puzzle, it's one of the best thought-out LucasArts adventure games with how the time periods work and influence the future. And if you missed Maniac Mansion 1, it comes with that too, and that game is kind of insane in terms of its attention to detail and variability, especially for an 80's game that was LucasArts' first stab at adventure games at all.

I may end up holding off as a 60% off sale now means at least a 60% off sale later when my backlog is lower but I had been meaning to ask re: DotT for some time now.

I might grab Darius Burst, but even at 60% off it still seems expensive for a side-scrolling shooter.

Ineffiable posted:Dang that sounds perfect. I'm struggling a bit with grim fandango and still haven't finished it. Yeah, Grim Fandango puzzle-wise is very hard, probably the hardest LucasArts game honestly. Probably the biggest general hint for DoTT is to pay close attention to what people are saying. I mean, it'll be funny and that's part of the game's charm, but I think pretty much all puzzle solutions are hinted at fairly strongly, the same dialogue laying out the problem will also give a strong push towards the solution. Also despite the cartooniness, a few of the puzzles have solutions which are a bit macabre, so bear that in mind.
