The discussion has moved past it but I wanted to chime in to say Antichamber is a good rear end game. One of the most innovative and perspective bending puzzle games I have ever played. It's only four dolllars! Also, I asked before and didn't get an answer so I'm trying again: Anyone play the RE7 dlc? Thoughts? I'm ok with it being short and not having much action so long as I can recapture the feeling of the first half of that game.

Gotta say, I didn't like the controls of Ghost at all. Especially after playing Hollow Knight, which was the metroidvania I've been waiting for since Symphony of the Night. I loved Hollow Knight. Phenomenal game. Also I saw Wuppo mentioned upthread. It is an incredibly charming and fun game with fantastic music and animations. I loved that game so much. It is an incredible deal for how great it is.

SilverMike posted:The 2K series continues to be lovely with stuff randomly being added and taken out every year. If you've got the patience, wait for Fire Pro Wrestling's new game coming to EA on July 10th. Should be infinitely better gameplay-wise. That's what I was worried about. Thanks I'll add FPW to my wishlist and wait for it to come.

I loved Hollow Knight. Phenomenal game. I remap almost everything I play! Hollow Knight became WASD + JKL:UI and accordingly Ghost 1.0 already had most of those controls in place, so it was an easy pickup for me. I also don't have to fight muscle memory when it comes to swapping between runs of Spelunky / Risk of Rain / Seraph / etc.

For some reason, I have Dead State, Magic Circle and Mimpi Dreams on my wishlist. Can anyone tell me whether these are any good? Scratch that - can anyone tell me what these games even are? Because I seriously have no recollection of placing them on my wishlist, much less learning anything about them.

Hyper Light Drifter is blast. Get it if you can/don't have it already. Gonna hold off on Prey and maybe grab it for the winter sale. I'm looking for an open world game and I'm stuck between GTA V and Watch_Dogs 2. I know that single player mods were just axed for GTA V so negative points for that. I was one of the weird few who liked Watch_Dogs and I heard Watch_Dogs 2 is really really good compared to the first...so maybe it's worth the purchase?

Mokinokaro posted:Good news: Atelier Sophie and Firis don't have the time management mechanics (Sophie has one missable event you have to do before the final boss and it's pretty obvious.) They're far from the best of the series but they're fun enough. I remember seeing an Atelier game (I have no idea which anymore) LPed and it looked interesting with the alchemy stuff. If I was going to get one of the two on Steam this sale which should it be?

The cheaper one is the first of a trilogy, and those tend to be standalone for Atelier games, so I'd go for that one. The sixty dollar one is the second game. I've not played either though, only Ayesha, but I enjoyed that a lot.

Junior Jr. posted:Oh goddammit, FINE! Just ONE MORE game! Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the first Sin because it is a Complete edition and 3 is not and will inevitably get one. BUT: 2 is in this month's Humble Monthly for 12$ which works out at around 10€, I.e. almost the same price as on steam and you get some other games on top "for free", so I say subscribe to the bundle and then unsubscribe again for an even better value. That's what I'll do.

Quest For Glory II posted:Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed sales make no sense anymore Yeah, I'm loving baffled by Unity at $20. Did they not recall the blowback on that, or did a bunch of jerks just buy it at full price and convince them they hadn't completely shat the bed on that one? katkillad2 posted:Does anyone know if that River City Ransom: Underground game ever got better with patches? People said it was pretty rough at launch. It got better. It's certainly not perfect, so a lot of it depends on your fondness for the concept, but they did clean up some of the rougher issues and did a lot of bugfixing.

"Whatever, you're still going to buy it" is sadly a tried and true marketing technique for major entertainment businesses the world over. Just ask Games Workshop.

Xander77 posted:For some reason, I have Dead State, Magic Circle and Mimpi Dreams on my wishlist. Can anyone tell me whether these are any good? The Magic Circle is an art game where you're a tester messing around in a very unfinished build of the latest attempt by a Peter Molyneux/Lord British/Chris Roberts style developer to actually release a game and return to fame, so mainly you hunt down conference recordings (in-game for some reason), audiologs and emails from unhappy/broken people while trying to gain access to more content and hacking monsters to fight for you because combat was cut from the game.

Awesome! posted:every sale i almost buy pillars of eternity and then i dont. maybe this time i will Did you like BG2, NWN2, Kotor 2 and other isometrics? Then yes buy that game 100% and get the expansions too. It takes it time introducing the lore and some of the mechanics are kind of tricky to get at first if you are used to other D&D style systems but once you figure it out you get a pretty great story with some really good combat. One of the most difficult things to get used to is how engagement works but thankfully Eder, the first major NPC you get is the best by far at it. Another is how magical combat is a mix of CC, single target damage, and buffs all taking advantage of one stat or another so you can spec a high str low int wizard and still run the tables once you've mastered the mechanics.

Xander77 posted:For some reason, I have Dead State, Magic Circle and Mimpi Dreams on my wishlist. Can anyone tell me whether these are any good? Dead State is kinda cool. It's got questionable reviews due to earlier versions, I didn't have any complaints when I played it. It's essentially Fallout 2 but zombies and more modern. And you have a lot of NPCs back at the base you need to try to build relationships with, so they will side with you when it comes time to vote on things around the base. You go out, kill other people or zombies to clear a building out, then loot as much poo poo as you can and bring it home, upgrade the base, talk to people, repeat. Some people need drugs or have depression or whatever other thing you need to be aware of. You can rescue survivors out in the field and bring them home, sometimes they come knocking at the gate and you have to decide, etc. There are other factions with their own bases that you can trade with or go to war with. I like it a lot, actually.

Kubrick posted:What do you guys think about Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander? I played it for 30 minutes, and haven't gone back. Every single feature that drew me to the game is in practice incredibly bland and poorly implemented, like they described something fun to a robot who did their best to code it in. I can't put my finger on exactly what made it feel so flat and unengaging, but it just didn't do it for me.

Brick Shipment posted:Which STALKER game do I want? Alternatively, does anyone have the STALKER thread link handy? There's three: Shadow of Chernobyl is the original. With simple modding (I recommend the Zone Reclamation Project for a first time run) it is easily playable with minimal bugs/crashes. It is a well-made FPS set in multiple semi-open connected levels. You are a STALKER, a scavenger trying to eke out a living looking for alien artifacts in the Exclusion Zone formed after the disaster at Chernobyl. Explore the ruins of Chernobyl, shoot mutants, bandits, and other scavengers as you search for artifacts in dangerous environmental anomalies. Play as the Marked One and trek to the center of the Zone, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, to track down the greatest STALKER of them all, Strelok. Clear Sky is the black sheep. It takes the original levels of SoC, adds a few new ones, and rewinds the story to an earlier time. STALKERs have just begun to explore the zone, and the rumor is that Strelok found a way to the center and is putting together a team to go back again. It's biggest feature is adding faction warfare which occurs dynamically throughout the map as different groups fight over and capture territory. It's also the buggiest and jankiest to play. Call of Pripyat is the last and most polished of the series. Instead of many medium-sized maps, it features 3 large playgrounds sprInkled with anomalies and other points of interest. It's the only one of the three games easily playable without mods today. Play as Major Someone or another, a military man sent to investigate goings-on in the Zone. Probably the most forgettable story, but some of the best environments. You're not really playing Stalker for the story, anyway. If you can only buy one, buy Call of Pripyat, then download Call of Chernobyl, a standalone mod/fan made expansion that takes the Call of Pripyat files and creates a combined game with every map from all 3 games. If you can get two, also pick up Shadow of Chernobyl. It probably has the best story of all 3 games and is worth a playthrough. I wouldn't recommend Clear Sky until you know if you like STALKER.
