The Cainhurst boss is the hardest one in vanilla in my opinion. His moves are just tough to dodge even when you know all his tells and he can make two bad things happen at once. I beat him once with help and mages to kill him by myself on second playthrough and was pretty proud.

Help me out here. I want to go back into Witcher 3 now that I have the expansions, but I am wondering what difficulty I would play on. I was on Hard, because I hear most people recommended hard, but honestly I remember having a miserable time of it and kind of want to roll on Normal. What are the difficulty differences? I remember that there is no automatic health regeneration on hard or something?

I should get back to Bloodborne to avenge my deep shame at being stuck on Father Gascoigne and dying many times in stupid ways to enemies who really shouldn't have killed me.

Logarious is super tough if you don't know the trick to his buff but I found Ebrietas harder personally. They both have nothing on a couple of the DLC bosses though.

I spent a good deal of money on the steam sale so far, but that was mostly because I had found a good deal on steam cards earlier in the year and stockpiled the goods until the appropriate time. And since I bought a bunch of weird, possibly overlooked indie games, I figured I'd try them right away and make a nice trip report. First off is Pozzo Jello Crusade. I saw a few of my Steam friends buying it and talking it up a little. The screenshots look extremely weird so thought it was a little joke or whatever. Turns out its by Tales of Games and its a very competent if strangely put together puzzle game. The mechanics might be a little familiar to avid puzzle game players, a typical step on every special square to open the gate but you can only step on the squares once type game, but the challenge ramps up quickly and there are definite twists to it that I haven't seen before, I look forward to playing more of this. Then I played Magicmaker, I've had this floating on my wishlist since it came out two years ago but I never pulled the trigger on it until today. Once again it looks a little slapshod but this game is pretty impressive, mostly I think because the dev hasn't abandoned it and has continually added new spell traits and customization options for the last two years. Its kinda surprising. I'll be playing more of this. Last game I've tried so far is Neon Drive. Unlike the last two, this game looks and sounds amazing, also unlike the last two I didn't like it too much. Its a well polished rhythm game with that awesome 80s retro aesthetic, but I feel like I should be able to just chill and swerve around some obstacles occasionally, but the game is flat out difficult, and oftentimes not in an 'overcoming a challenge way' in more a 'you are going to have to memorize this segment through trial and error' type way. I can see myself returning to this, but it might not be for a while.

ANYWAY, I have been playing the Hexcells games after seeing them being talked about in the Steam thread. I got through the first game, and it is pretty good, but kinda simple. If you are familiar with any sort of logic puzzle like Sudoku or Nurikabe (or hell, even Minesweeper), you won't have much problems. The first few puzzles in the second game, however, things actually get a little interesting. I am looking forward to how it progresses in the third game.

Bicyclops posted:When I got to the first notice board, I took all of the notices and some of them didn;t show up in my inventory or give me quests - are those just sort of there for world-building? Also, none of the ones that say "urgent" actually are, right, like I can just let them sit in my questbox until I get to them. If a notice doesn't give you a quest or witcher contract then it might drop a question mark on your map near a bandit camp or something. Besides that it's just flavor, like the one advertising lessons in Nilfgaard's tongue in White Orchard.

What I generally do for EU dlc is wait for the major expansions to go for less 5 bucks and then pick them up, so I'm usually 6 to 9 months behind on updates. But then I check out what the updates add and pick a country that will get to use them best.

Gravity Rush 2 demo was fun. Should I get Gravity Rush Remastered at some point? The whole falling around to travel thing was pretty fun, though it took me a while to get a hang of airborne combat. I can't stop playing the Nier: Automata demo, though. I'm so hyped for that game. I think it's now tied with Persona 5 at the top of my "most exciting 2017 games" list, with Nioh just below. I'm sure it'll be even more fun when there are a bunch more weapon types to play with, too. I kept trying to fight dudes with my fists my most recent time through the demo and apparently the light attack with bare fists has a huge knockback, which was hilarious.

Oceanhorn is cool but it's pretty simplistic by virtue of being a phone game. What's there is solid all the way through though.

Oh hey, Gravity Rush 2 comes out way sooner than I thought. Well, I'm sold on it from the demo. Anyone know if I need to play the first one for the story or not?Ciaphas posted:My problems with the steam controller are partially subjective feel but mostly that the "d-pad" is utterly worthless for just about anything. Dare you to try playing Shantae or Shovel Knight with that thing I can't stand the Steam Controller. I really wish I liked it. I do like the grip buttons, and I don't even really hate the fake "d-pad" (make it work on tap, not click, and with a tiny bit of haptic feedback when you tap, and it feels pretty good, at least for selecting things in a menu like in Dark Souls), but just everything about its layout makes my hands cramp up. I haven't really tried it out for any game that isn't already a game I'd play with a controller, though, so maybe it really shines when you fire up Civ or something.
