Lunchmeat Larry posted:Max Payne 3 is a terrible game with fantastic gunplay and mechanics. There's so much stuff getting in the way of what should be a good time, it's depressing As sort of a counterpoint I played on PC and didn't care for the mechanics at all - I found it got really stale by the end, there just wasn't enough to it - but you're right that it's kind of immaterial because they interrupt you every 15 seconds to show you Max Payne doing or saying something cynical. I swear you really do spend more time watching than playing in that game, and the cutscenes are not interesting.

The reason I haven't read this thread in a week is because we were binging 7DTD  . We played it 3 years ago and had fun then and it's so much more fleshed out, now. Join a persistent server for that MMO feel, or create your own for a private sandbox full of zombies that will wreck your poo poo. Then get annoyed because minibikes keep crashing the server...If your group likes Orcs Must Die they might like Sanctum, too. Sanctum2 had a bit more meat to it.

I was under the impression that any development still going on with DD1 is being done via fan effort after the re-release failed miserably. I guess in that case it wouldn't be a surprise if they ended up balancing things for whoever's still playing, but a glance at their latest patch notes (from last year) shows buffs and fixes and the like. If you're talking about what went down before all that, well the short of it is that back in its heyday DD was a loving mess.

Are there any good isometric rpgs with Diablo like combat? I've been trying to replay BG2 and looking at some things like Tyranny and Tides of Numenara but I can't stand the slow tedious DnD style combat they all seem to have. E: Or hell, just any lesser known RPG. I recently played through Dragon's Dogma and Kingdoms of Amalur and they were pretty decent. I'm way more into story than mechanics and gimmicks.

Gave Rogue Legacy another shot last night after bouncing off of it on my first go, and now I'm jonesing for some Metroidvanias on PC, maybe more Vania than Metroid (so RPG mechanics rather than straight exploratory platforming). I'm sure there are a shitload of these out there, but what are the best ones?

I recentlyish mistakenly bought Aarklash: Legacy because for some reason I thought it had turn-based combat, and gave up on it almost immediately since it didnt. So you could try that.

Agreed with others: the multiplayer components in PoE are superficial at best. You'll only see people running around in hubs and you'll never see anyone elsewhere unless you specifically invite them to your instance. I had a lot of fun with it for a good 40-50 hours.

Actually I should clarify. A story rich RPG that can be isometric or not, but if it is isometric, doesn't have a fiddly turn based combat system. I've had my fill of grind for drop games like Diablo. Like, I'd really love to get into one of the newer Obsidian RPGs but after the 20th time I get into a fight and just shut them off and stop playing because it becomes incredibly tedious for me.

Y'all I need a turn-based RPG thats visually awesome, has a good bit of character customization (visual/multiple combat styles or classes) - I've played Tyranny, which was amazing but I'd like something prettier I guess is my thing.

I guess I'm looking for more like Dragon's Dogma and Kingdoms of Amalur - which aren't great AAA titles but they're good enough. How hard is Final Fantasy to get into if I want to try out one of the more recent ones without playing through two dozen earlier games?

Not very, because each FF is a separate contained story UNLESS it's a direct sequel to one - see X and X-2 / 13 and 13-2, 13-Lightning Returns. That said, the FFs are more story-heavy cinematic experiences than worlds you can screw around in like Dragon's Dogma, with the exception of 12, which isn't on Steam yet.

Dragon Age: Origins? edit: also if you're new to witcher franchise I can recommend the earlier games. Witcher 1 has a great story, poor combat system being the game's flaw. It's also very long, a ton of content. Witcher 2 is quite similar to the third game. Shortest game of the series but has a more familiar feeling to it.

Try the divinity series? The first ones (Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity) are old diablo-likes, the second one is an third person open-world-ish action game, and the third one is more in the vein of the obsidian games. In particular, the second one sounds like it might be your thing if you enjoyed Amalur and Dragons Dogma. You could look at Mars: War Logs and The Technomancer, which are cyberpunk RPGs kind of in the Bioware style, but also really janky. Also, it's this thread so go play Dark Souls again.

With the new Zelda game out I am craving an adventure game of some sort. I might play ocarina of time again but I was curious what other games of this type there are? I'm thinking something in the vein of a third person action adventure game like Zelda/OoT/Fable 1. Any ideas? e; also should that add my options are pc or android.

I always feel like Darksiders is an odd choice because while Zelda was obviously one of their inspirations and the games inevitably share some similarities, the end products are pretty vastly different. Though I suppose part of the problem is that all of the more blatant Zelda-inspired games available on Steam are 2D. I think Beyond Good and Evil hews pretty close.

This is kind of a specific request. In Arcanum, there's a newspaper that tracks what's going around in the world. If you make a big splash, it's covered in the game. You can even do an interview and its gets published. I'm curious as to what other games-of any genre-track player actions through third party news sources that are in the background. I think Bloodlines does too. And the newer Fallout games of course, but that's more front and center.

It's a lot of people's first RPGs! Final Fantasy IV was the first RPG I ever played. But as mentioned, they are pretty linear JRPG experiences. Not much like Amalur or Dragons Dogma. Good Final Fantasy games to start with are V, VI, or XV. The other ones can be fun, but they have just -loads- of exposition and the graphics and/or voice acting have not aged well.

All of the classic ones (1-6) on PC are mobile ports. Fans of the series have somewhat derided them, but they're probably still fine for most people (disclaimer: I haven't personally played any of them). The best remake in the series is FFIV Complete on PSP, if you happen to have one of those lying around.

I'm in the mood for something sandboxy with a decently high learning curve, depth, and a sense of accomplishment as you expand and automate, working your way up from rags to riches. Here are the sandboxy "work your way up from nothing" games I already own: -Factorio -X3: Reuinion -The Guild 2: Renaissance -Modded minecraft -Rimworld -From the Depths -KSP -Edit: Mount and Blade Warband Not interested in: Dwarf Fortress, Aurora 4X I've been looking at Kenshi but apparently it's been in development for 5 years and still in early alpha, so I'm reluctant to drop $20 on it. Anything else good that fits this criteria? Kibbles n Shits fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Mar 7, 2017 |

So there's a PSN game called Uncanny Valley that looks really cool, reminds me of Lone Survivor a bit; is there actual gameplay to it like Lone Survivor? The PSN footage largely seems to just show the first few minutes of the game, which is a lot of talking and walking a little bit. Any goon recommendation there?

So i really enjoyed the FIFA Manager series which ended in 2014 mainly because of the building/personal life side of things. I wouldnt focus as much on the training and development of my team, i would mainly play to upgrade the stadium, do advertising and build up my personal wealth and skills. So because those things are absent from Football Manager i never really enjoyed that series. Does anyone know of anything that has a similar management type feel to it? It doesnt have to be a sport game, i just like the idea of building something from nothing but also improving myself/my character. I have been playing Planet Coaster but there is little sense of achievement in that game. I thought Stardew Valley might scratch an itch but it is way too slow to get around and seems a bit linear. I like the look of Motorsport Manager but not sure if it has what I need either.
