Steam did that thing where you log in and nothing is in its category. I almost had a heart attack.  I restarted it and everything was restored to its rightful place.

It is the 90s, and it is time for Steam-related announcements of note. Jackbox Games have announced a fourth iteration of their Party Packs is coming this fall. The first game announced is Fibbage 3, which gives the audience more opportunities to play along (and the players more opportunities to earn points by fooling the audience).  Natsume have announced that they're gonna give this whole "PC gaming" thing a shot, and that their first release, due this year, will be a port of the fantastic Wild Guns Reloaded, a previously-PS4-exclusive re-do of the cult-classic SNES shooter.  Finally, the author of Borderless Gaming has announced Rainway, an impending app that aims to let you stream PC games to a number of platforms, including smartphones and the Nintendo Switch. It aims to enter beta next month.

mandatory lesbian posted:if i've never played nier or any platnium game ever, should I start Autotama on Easy? i'm really probably not gonna be any good at the combat (i play mostly JRPG's) so i'm kinda worried that while the story is something i'm gonna love (based on what i've seen of the first few hours), the combat might be too hard for me lol

mandatory lesbian posted:I would like to thank you all for your help but a second much less fixable problem occurred where my computer can't render the game without gently caress-tons of lag, to the point where it's unplayable for me even at the lowest settings. There's a fanpatch called FAR that can improve fps by a ton while giving up very little fidelity. Hit up the main thread.

At some point in the past week, someone in here told someone else that Environmental Station Alpha is a better game than Axiom Verge. This piqued my interest as a Metroidvania fanatic and I played about 20 minutes before realizing no. Axiom Verge is still definitely a better game.

Night in the Woods is pretty good. I mean, I'm a shitbag 20-something person trying to figure his poo poo out but I'unno, I guess the game has its target audience? Also if you're playing Nier Automata on PC you REALLY should download FAR. It gave me a full 360p!

DaveKap posted:I am less enjoying the music (sounds like Spelunky, AKA Genesis music,) the graphics (the extra-low fidelity just doesn't grab me), the short-shot play (which I assume gets better later?) and just the general boredom I had playing up to the second boss. I'm not saying it's a bad game but I am saying that I've found little enjoyment in it so far. That's completely fair! Thanks for the detailed info - I too prefer Axiom Verge, but it's always interesting to delve into the reasons why we like things or not.  ESA does have a better grappling hook though.

Wild Guns is an unsung classic, but Natsume for some reason made a lot of good games that never got the marketing or recognition they needed. (Aside from Harvest Moon, anyway.)

Fun fact: Natsume never made any of the HM games until very recently, when, upon learning that the company who did make them was going to have a western division now, they went "Well gently caress you we'll get our own dev team, with hookers and blow", and started publishing their games under that name while the old crew had to take on the Story of Seasons name. gently caress Natsume, is what I'm saying. claw game handjob fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Apr 24, 2017 |

Playing the new Shovel Knight content... wow Spectre Knight is a lot of fun to play as. I didn't think that I'd like him nearly as much as Plague Knight but his movement mechanics are really cool Plague Knight is still the coolest/best but Spectre Knight is a lot of fun!

Aphex- posted:I'm playing through Nier Automata at the moment. On my 2nd run and it's a really fun game, but wow I'm really surprised at how highly rated it is. Like, it's great and I'm having a good time but I see a lot of sites and people saying it's one of the greatest games ever made and... I'm just not seeing that? are there specific reasons why people think it's the best game ever? Am I missing something here? Not really, its a cool game and bear in mind i am not as far as you are but given the mass of praise I've seen I'm finding it hard to motivate myself to play it. Last night the wife was out playing bingo and i had 3 hours and a free house to do what i wished with, ended up doing the dishes then playing Rocket League for a coupe of hours. Seeing exceptional praise before you've really got stuck into a game is kind of off putting. Its like single player ladder anxiety

There are some apps that did this already such as kino console and remotr but they're fairly flakey in my experience.

Alien Rope Burn posted:A lot of people might get soured on the hacking minigame in some parts of it - I didn't mind - but it is pretty simplistic and repetitive. I think it's probably better than it being too involved, and you don't have to do it too much, but YMMV. The hacking game isn't the problem, it's that it replaces your heavy attack button, which makes combat even less exciting than it already was if you figured out how easy it is to trivialize combat in your first playthrough.

It's cool that there's another Jackbox coming out, but I kind of miss YDKJ. Then again it's weird I've been playing those on and off since the 90s. I mean poo poo I played the first YDKJ on the Playstation 1.HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Reach was poo poo, 3 was much better. Reach is the lowest point of the series, ODST the highest. No matter what you think of Reach this will never be true as long as Halo 4 exists. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 14:15 on Apr 24, 2017 |

I mean poo poo I played the first YDKJ on the Playstation 1. Jackbox really does need some sort of generic trivia game. YDKJ from the first box is a poor fit for the everyone plays at once style that makes the games fun. I'd love a game that played pretty much identically to Trivia Murder Party but with Cookie hosting and the old YDKJ humor. Mostly I just want more commercials.

Cowcaster posted:i finally fired up nier automata just to get the graphics settings tweakable with geforce experience. I haven't had issues with AA on my GTX 970 and some of the in-game graphics settings like AO can cause the lighting to go crazy with bright flashes on all water sources. Also in the FAR config file the two added graphics settings control parts of the entire lighting system, so turning them off will gently caress up the lighting & make everything too really dark or blindingly bright depending (bloom & HDR maybe, not at my computer)

No but there is a fan patch that fixes it. I think there is a pinned thread in the game's steam forum with the link to it.

The only way to get a good res is to use FAR or sometimes pressing alt-enter when you're actually in gameplay works for some people. The game's graphics system is way screwy. At least FAR itself keeps getting regular updates

I agree, frankly. I enjoyed the game with FAR helping out, but there really should be more from the devs than a post on March 22 saying "hey we're totally looking into the bugs guys" with nothing after. Especially since it's a Platinum joint and they've done really well with PC ports before. edit: also FAR isn't really a complete fix, cause some of the updates have introduced slowdown, made the game not start at all, or introduced other errors. It's a really well-made workaround, but it's still just a workaround. Nancy fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Apr 24, 2017 |

Lot of Steam game announcements today. Introversion (Darwinia, DEFCON, Prison Architect...) have just announced Scanner Sombre, a short first-person walky-story where you have to use a Lidar Scanner to paint a pitch-black world with laser dots so you can see the cave around you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NFlo9FEfaY It'll be out on Wednesday, where it'll be ten bucks at launch, and twelve a short time afterwards.
