BaconCopter posted:(Enter the Gungeon) It's like if BInding of Isaac controlled well and was actually fun. And removed all feeling of power spikes. You could start a game of Isaac and within 10 seconds be set up with an interesting or comically powerful run. Gungeon had none of this progression.

KrayG posted:And removed all feeling of power spikes. Also Gungeon is way, way slower than Isaac even with them trying to make up for it by letting you teleport to any previously-visited room on the map instantly. When you have a bad run in Isaac you lose five minutes, while Gungeon can mean you just wasted half an hour of slowly dodging bullet hell patterns and jumping between cover for nothing.

GTJustin posted:I saw gauntlet was on sale and picked up a 4 pack to play with buddies. Having seen no mention of it, did I screw up? I remember blowing quite a few quarters playing some arcade gauntlet, and have thousands of hrs into diablo I bought a 4 pack for me and friends when it first came out. Its not really as satisfying as arcade gauntlet. A lot of the charm is missing with the more realistic graphics and you never get to feel as crazy overpowered in the late game. It does have mulitplayer which is nice. Just look at the hours played by most of its owners, a lot of people stop playing 5 hours in for good reason. I would so much rather play gauntlet legends on an emulator

So the Green Man Gaming website has their Mystery Game Sale, which does wonders for my crippling gambling addiction. Here are some Steam key codes for the games I received duplicates of. Fair warning, at first glance, most of these games looked horrible and aren't worth the space they'd take up in your Steam library list, let alone your harddrive. I'm not going to bother with updating which of the keys have been taken, anyone who wants them can grab whichever. THREE DEAD ZED STEAM: ?EE7A-YGHJ2-AI89B The first digit is: 4 CORPORATE LIFESTYLE SIMULATOR STEAM: ?ERGC-RICGX-YRTYN The first digit is: Z TIDALIS STEAM: ?WITG-PAFDZ-7ZNGI The first digit is: L SPACE MOTH DX STEAM: ?KZ6H-AJZK7-PPV7K The first digit is: X TIDALIS STEAM: ?4PBQ-W9XWT-R9X7N The first digit is: L BARROW HILL CURSE OF THE ANCIENT CIRCLE STEAM: ?4DTN-GY7EB-7ZR2C The first digit is: 9 TOWER WARS STEAM: ?W5EF-CEHH0-HQZB3 The first digit is: I HUNTSMAN THE ORPHANAGE STEAM: ?FJQD-9ATBD-5FPQP The first digit is: 5 VAMPIRE OF THE SANDS STEAM: ?FJKN-TCMXQ-3FILC The first digit is: Q CORPORATE LIFESTYLE SIMULATOR STEAM: ?FNRP-787MF-HDDP6 The first digit is: E BARROW HILL CURSE OF THE ANCIENT CIRCLE STEAM: ?J5TT-YKBPP-ZQD0T The first digit is: K TOWER WARS STEAM: ?X2M7-3YLBX-JCJZX The first digit is: K SPEC OPS THE LINE: ?JF02-E5MNG-4L4ZF The first digit is: W HUNTSMAN THE ORPHANAGE STEAM: ?6PM8-5K05K-3BEG2 The first digit is: I HUNTSMAN THE ORPHANAGE STEAM: ?4AQV-MBZCI-PQ0XM The first digit is: I SPEC OPS THE LINE: ?NIPA-XXDIV-ZIX2X The first digit is: X HUNTSMAN THE ORPHANAGE STEAM: ?I6PK-04XR8-MBR60 The first digit is: E THREE DEAD ZED STEAM: ?4PBD-ZAIPF-3KMN4 The first digit is: P HUNTSMAN THE ORPHANAGE STEAM: ?52HY-N7QT5-JY4CK The first digit is: H HUNTSMAN THE ORPHANAGE STEAM: ?JNGY-7YG8Q-V0J0M The first digit is: N

Enter the Gungeon doesn't have moments where you open a chest and you've won the run; you're still going to die if you can't play the game. Gameplay is closer to Nuclear Throne than Isaac. You have guns, they shoot things, you kill stuff, move on. The dungeon crawling is more like Isaac with less RNG manipulation. Doesn't mean you can't have broken builds, yesterday on a Bullet run in the Supply Drop beta I had double shot, piercing, bouncing, quadrupley large, flaming, poison, shocking, and homing projectiles. I still lost the run in Bullet Hell.

Don't know if you'll be around but Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons would be a good first co-op game. Even if you only have one controller the other player can make do with the keyboard. If you do this I suggest letting her be the younger brother for... reasons.

King Vidiot posted:I'm with you in not really liking them, for reasons I can't even figure out myself, but I wouldn't say they're "bad" games. I think mainly it's the combat, the combat is the gameplay (if you don't count riding a horse around and picking flowers) and it doesn't feel satisfying even in the newest one. The older ones are even worse, combat-wise. Yeah yeah, blah blah open world and the writing and "atmosphere" but I'm not putting 100+ hours into a game when I don't enjoy the one thing I'll be doing the most of. Same, i find it very hard to ignore or work around bad core mechanics in some games so i usually just don't bother to continue playing them if i find something that bothers me and the Witcher games suffer from this in spades.

(crossposting from Steam thread) I bought SF5 on PS4 when it released and I'm happy with it (I wouldn't touch the SP modes anyway), I'm planning to buy it again on PC since I have a fightstick that I'd like to use, but I see people complaining about netcode and server issues... aren't the servers the same as Ps4's? Because those work mostly okay-ish for me.

So, MMO babies here, is FFXIV worth it? I'm kind of looking for a new game to play, and I've heard a lot of great things about FF, but I'm unsure about the $15/mo cost. I know it comes with a month free, but it's hard to get a good judgment running around as a lowbie. I'm mostly a WoW player, for reference, but I only play that via tokens nowadays. I also enjoyed TERA and TSW. I did not care for Neverwinter or Rift if that gives any indication as to what kinds of MMOs I like. The transmog and character options is what appeals to me most about FF.

Diplomatic Immunity posted:I finally went and purchased this and then went to watch the new Alien: Covenant trailer. Oh, don't worry. Sparky doesn't creep up on you, you'll always hear her coming. This way you can always try to run.  Seriously though, she makes a lot of noise when stomping around. Just remember she can hear your motion tracker, so put it the gently caress away if you know she's in the room with you. If you want to avoid surprises, here's a very, very mild gameplay spoiler: she can set up in the ceiling vents and wait for you to walk under them, but you can spot the drool dripping from them if you're paying attention.

Pigeotic posted:Anyone here have feelings on Stronghold Crusader 2? I have fond memories of playing the demo of Stronghold a million times over when I was a kid and the 90% off is really tempting me but I don't know... is it at least a passable RTS? My rose colored glasses are so thick here I feel a bit blinded. Never played the full original games? You're probably best off going back to them and getting Stronghold HD http://store.steampowered.com/app/40950/ and Stronghold Crusader HD http://store.steampowered.com/app/40970/ I have Crusader 2 from a bundle but haven't given it a go yet. I think Stronghold and Crusader still hold up, if you can look past the old graphics. Though Crusader 2 is only $5, and for the $6 Special edition you get Crusader 1 HD, and there are refunds.

Never ever check your Motion Tracker when you're hiding inside a closet if the Alien is nearby. She can hear the beeps. Also learn to shift in the Lockers and hide at an angle if she tries looking in through the grille.

Well, I just got Shadowrun: Hong Kong and INSIDE gifted to me by Kragger99. Thanks a whole bunch, mate! Merry Christmas!  Neddy Seagoon posted:This isn't always true, she can be dead goddamn silent when she wants to be. Never ever check your Motion Tracker when you're hiding inside a closet if the Alien is nearby. She can hear the beeps. Also learn to shift in the Lockers and hide at an angle if she tries looking in through the grille. I don't recall she ever sneaking up on me, I could always hear the THUMP THUMP THUMP unless I ran into her while she was sniffing around. I could never pull off the "lean inside lockers" thing, every time she decided to check a closet she would either just get me right away or smell a bit, start to leave and immediately run back, open the locker like a can of tuna and chew my face. Speaking of lockers: the most important part in Surviving A:I is to always be moving. If you stay hidden in the same place too long, enemies will find you. Move between hiding spots, and remember you don't have to crouch-walk everywhere. Running is loud as gently caress, but unless there's someone in the room with you, you can get away with walking normally most of the time.

Otherwise eventually the Alien starts digging into cupboards and Lockers out of frustration.

Do you (randomly?) get gift copies of other games when buying games during the sale? I found a gift copy of Offworld Trading Company from my inventory, and I'm pretty sure I haven't bought it myself. Edit: I do own Offworld Trading Company, but I don't think I've bought an extra gift copy.
