To add to that, Dying Light is the most fun you can have with just the core movement mechanic (so ignoring all other story, enemies, combat, everything else - just traversing the world) since at least Crackdown. If you are into the feeling of moving through space and being rewarded for taking leaps of faith, you will adore Dying Light.

Deep Thoreau posted:Gonna get some pinball, what are some of the top tables? my favorite in the game is probably infinity gauntlet. the new women of marvel tables are pretty cool too. stay far away from civil war and i dont like the avengers tables much other good ones are portal, bobs burgers, the force awakens pack and the soccer table (its fun even if you dont care about soccer). others are good too but this is off the top of my head, feel free to ask about specific tables you might be interested in. i have them all and over 100 hours in the game.

Awesome! posted:dont listen to that person that said all the marvel tables are bad lol it should be noted, you can trial any board for free, so do try them out. For instance, the Venom board. Try that unfun mess for 3 minutes and ask yourself if you want to spend money to have a game spit in your face. Some people are into that,

My favourite Pinball FX tables are Sorcerer's Lair (free) and Epic Quest. My main problem with the other tables is that they are too flashy for my taste. Plus some voice sample every ten secs gets annoying. Honestly if it weren't for the price tag I'd probably go with Pinball Arcade.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Is it a fun "gently caress around" game like Just Cause is fun "gently caress around" game? Because I'm not a huge fan of Just Cause, but I have been trying to figure out if I should pick up Dying Light for a few months now. Here's a guy performing a sliding tackle on a hazmat-suit zombie that carries an oxygen tank and when he then hits it with an electrifying club the tank goes off (and the game is insane enough to utilize physics for things like these):  Basically imagine a better melee combat system than Dark Messiah of Might and Magic + an extensive parkour system on par with Mirror's Edge + weapons crafting system straight out of Dead Rising + very detailed decapitation + a better grappling hook than in AC: Syndicate + an RPG skills and inventory system + a big open vertical city as your playground for all of that and you have Dying Light. That's not all there is to the game either though as it does lots of its own things like the day-night cycle that dramatically changes the gameplay, challenges, zombie nests etc. It's a really satisfying package. The only thing that is not as good is the main plot. It's full of gaming cliches and takes itself way too seriously for how shallow it is but honestly that didn't really bother me here (it does bother me in many other games) because the gameplay was just too good and more than made up for the problems in that area.

I have been eyeing Dying light a while ago before it came out, but I can't see or buy it in Germany. Isthereanydeal tells me the something called "Dying light The following enhanced edition" for 20€. Is that the version to buy? And, would I be able to play it in Germany? edit: apparently I can install it if it is the EU version Hopper fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Dec 26, 2016 |

Uh the first gang in the game is just a bunch of disorganized anarchists that are referred to as 'looters'. Like it's the kind of portrayal of 'thugs' and 'criminals' that you get by turning on Fox News or opening up Breitbart. I've had fun with the game so far but there are some places that get close to realm of right wing whacko fantasy of gunning down the urban ferals.

My gold standard for enjoyment in any first-person or third-person action game is whether you can instant-kill melee and how it feels. Dying Light is very good on this scale. On the other hand, The Division is terrible on it Edit: excuse me, should read Tom Clancy's The Division™ CharlieFoxtrot fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Dec 26, 2016 |

Tempted by Dying Light with all the good descriptions, but here is a question: I thought the new edition was already the GOTY version with everything included - and the existence of dlc for it indicates otherwise. Is there any talk of a "ultimate" edition in the near future?

Does Dying Light have much in the way of jump scares, and/or does it have elements of survival horror in it? If it's just a fun time parkouring around dropkicking zombies, I'll give it a shot.

Someone push me one way or the other on The Sea Will Claim Everything Also someone throw me a recommendation for someone who likes "flawed work of genius" Obsidian-type games. Stuff where the writing and ambition is beyond reproach even if the game is a bit clunky. Like Alpha Protocol, Bloodlines, New Vegas, etc.

If it's just a fun time parkouring around dropkicking zombies, I'll give it a shot. It's not particularly bad during the day but at night that game can be hilariously terrifying (especially early on when you're weak) due to some very fast and very angry things walking around in the darkness. Having one spot and chase after you for the first time is one of those video game moments one doesn't forget for a while.

If it's just a fun time parkouring around dropkicking zombies, I'll give it a shot. I don't play "horror" games for the same reason, and made it through Dying Light while having a blast. The first few night falls are pretty intense (though you can just stay inside your safe house and not worry about it), but when you level up enough, and get decent weapons, it's fun to turn the "Hunters (as they're called I believe) into the hunted. If you don't mind spoiling whet the Hunters look like, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8Mo4GWZJP4 The game is much better in co-op, but can be played solo.

And I'm real bad with horror myself, but I played Dying Light in co-op which is extremely fun and having someone else freak out with you makes the whole experience pretty great.

The different play styles that different eras afford is a cool thing, the storyline is not very deep but consistent and I found it a bit hard to follow in the end where they wrap up all the different interconnecting story lines. It's a good game. I really liked how the environment changes in the different eras and that the different eras never overstay their welcome. Bad parts I feel was the very unbalanced optional card game, how the final unlocks for the powers work and that awful, awful difficulty spike in the bullet hell part.

Nehru the Damaja posted:Someone push me one way or the other on The Sea Will Claim Everything With some caveats, Temple of Elemental Evil is a pretty good tactical RPG made by Troika, who also made Vampire Bloodlines and Arcanum. (Arcanum is also one of these flawed genius games). It was, I think, the first CRPG to use D&D 3rd edition rules, and it's an unusually faithful adaptation of the tabletop system. It is, however, a very crunchy D&D conversion of a classic D&D tabletop dungeon, which isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. It's also not on Steam, but it's six bucks on GOG.
