I enjoyed everything about the Enter the Gungeon EXCEPT the very last bit of the game for each character. Without spoilers, though, if that's the problem you're running into though, it's probably worth the price. Okay, so, I scoured the steam sale last night when I got home and couldn't find a game that matches sorta what I'm looking for: Me and my friend like to play coop games online (pubg, hots, wow, dota, overwatch, terraria, minecraft, factorio, etc.). We're looking for a new game, more focused on exploration and such than just running through levels this time around. We've beaten Terraria and both loved it. We recently "beat" Minecraft story stuff. We've beaten Don't Starve Together and Factorio and we've played a few times through Starbound. We're not too concerned with potential difficulty issues as we're both generally pretty good. Neither of us have any VR hardware, so that's out already. A hosted server style gmae is okay (a la Factorio, Starbound, Minecraft, Terraria) as are more MMO-style games (WoW) provided they aren't too grindy (ArcheAge). We were considering Ark, but the negative reviews dissuaded us; we were also considering Astroneer but the game's incompleteness dissuaded us. Anyone have any suggestions for us? So far Risk of Rain is looking to be the most likely option.

is instant-gaming.com a legitimate site? they have some deals that are much better than steam, and some that are marginally better but surprising... Prey is $31.86 compared to Steam's $39.59 for example, but I have no idea if they're legit or not. I heard about them from the ESO thread in our MMO forums so I tend to assume they're safe but I thought I should ask here first.

There is also 7 Days to Die which again i haven't played in several years but it was a lot of fun with friends awhile back. They've added a lot of poo poo since then too and supposedly even better now.

take me you ANIMAL posted:Technobabylon (3.75)- This was on there for awhile and can't remember why I added it but it seemed pretty cool. I reviewed this yesterday. Short version is, it's one of the best-written and well-acted indie adventures out there. It's got a complex story running through a very interesting world that builds and builds without getting confusing or messy. The puzzles are pretty clever, but there's not a lot of exploration or flexibility; you're just playing through a very solid story. Overall it's one of the better point-and-click games I've played.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:No, I mean that after launch they patched in a bunch of hosed up and bad poo poo. Like there was a gun to research that took 72 hours. Real-time. In-game. Not one of those "72 hours but even when you're not playing it counts down" things. Literally 72 hours in-game. That wouldn't have even been okay had it been in at launch, but the fact that it came out after I was 90% done with the game and you can't cancel research so I was STUCK with that in a slot is bad. And then the microtransactions and the Clash Of Clans style base stuff that they slowly shifted emphasis onto.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Nier 2 DLC just some throwback costumes and a few sidequests? As someone who 100%d it, it doesn't strike me as worth the price if so.

Am I understanding correctly that buying the Strategy Game of the Year Bundle will get me Civ 6 cheaper than just buying the game by itself? I already have XCOM 2, so I'm guessing that will just do nothing. EDIT: I suppose I could buy the bundle with the Steam controller instead if that seems worth it ($30 for the controller).

RE: dying light My co-op group of 4 has just finished the main game and started the Following. The main game is fun and parcour is done well, if too easy. Sometimes suck rear end though and can get completely unfair. Combat is very same after a while. The Bozak hoard DLC is a stupid grind of increasingly difficult to achieve rounds. Fail and you start over. It's BAD. The Following replaces parcour with buggies you need to maintain as was said earlier. The area is far too large and you end up driving from a to b losing each other and getting bored. That said the achievement addicted people in my group wanted to play on the hardest difficulty... to;dr: Dying light main game is good co-op but the DOCs are a drag/grindy.

Thinking of getting two games. Anyone who's played either i'd welcome your input. 1. Xcom 2, loved xcom 1 but I've seen a bunch of people say it strayed from the formula in a not so good sort of way 2. The new ultimate ninja storm, anime games are sort of a guilty pleasure of mine and I enjoyed 3 a lot for what it was. I've seen complaints that this one is more focused on pvp than the predecessors while I mostly want a relaxing romp through the story with cool cinematics on special moves.

Man, it's freaking hard to parse what games I should be getting, can you goons give me some recomendations based on the following list of games that I really enjoyed playing.... Dark Souls series Witcher series Risen series Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Darksiders series Civ V Warlock Master of the Arcane 1 & 2 Might & Magic X - Legacy Star Crawlers King's Bounty series Xcom series Grim Dawn Diablo Series Torchlight 1 & 2 Divinity Original Sin Victor Vran Van Helsing Jade Empire Orcs Must Die 1 & 2 Bioshock series Fallout series Alien vs Predator Wolfenstein: The New Order Medal of Honor Prototype 1 & 2 Just Cause series Max Payne series Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth Shadows of Mordor Batman series Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimat Marvel vs Capcom 3 Also, can you include any little under the radar gems that I might have missed? For example, I never would have heard of Hollow Knight or Hyper Light Drifter if I hadn't seen them mentioned several times in this thread.

I'm the last person to ask for recommendations and typically the first to give them... but I've been known to have a blind spot or two so I'm gonna ask this thread and see what ya'll come up with. For science. I'm looking for a game with a really tight dungeon crawling loop similar to what end-game Diablo 3 is right now, but distilled into its purest form. Essentially, a dungeon crawler that isn't a rogue-like or rogue-lite, which is what most of them seem to be nowadays. I want RNG loot, properly feeling more powerful and turning once-difficult enemies into trash mobs through just a couple levels or loot upgrades. It's very likely that I'm looking for an indie title that flew under the radar, since I typically am the radar. Also, if the game lasted more than a few hours, that'd be nice. Plot not necessary, though some kind of variety to the combat and enemies is a plus. First person, third person, top down, I don't care, it's the loop I'm looking for. Surprise me!

The ultimate strategy in XCom 1 was to sit and wait for 20 minutes for the aliens to wander into your formation, and this shook that up. I loved XCom 2 and thought the changes were great, but the kind of people that are crazy enough to spend 1000+ hours repeating the 'sit and wait' strategy got a bit miffed.

Yeah these were the complaints that I was questionable about, cause i enjoy optionable objectives that encourage rushing but I find mandatory limits stressful and unfun. I'm not really a sit and wait player in turn based strategies, but seeing them ticking down just invariably puts me on edge. Are they lenient enough that it's not that bad or do they really put your nose to the grinder?

Awesome! posted:diablo 3 is throwing me off here because i wouldnt really call that dungeon crawling. do you actually want an arpg type thing? Unless you're getting caught on the "crawling" pat of "dungeon crawling" which I never actually felt was supposed to dictate the literal speed of your traversal through a dungeon. I always interpreted it more in the sense that you are constantly exploring and discovering the entirety of a dungeon, crawling over it, to find every nook and cranny for as much loot as possible. Anyway, I'm agnostic to how quickly the actual dungeon traversal is. Crawling, running, doesn't matter if the loop feels good and tight. That's all!

There are mods that make them lenient enough to never be an issue but in the base game they are tight enough on some maps that you have to double move a couple of times or lose dudes to the timer. If you're on the edge, watch some videos or check out one of the many SA playthroughs.

Xcom 2 timers are strict enough to demand attention but loose enough to not really be a problem if you address em. There are also tons of ways to either disable or lessen them. You can and should get one of the mods that disables the countdown while you are sneaking around at the start and the aliens don't know you are there, just because of how cool that is as a concept. Game rocks poo poo and you shouldn't be afraid of it. It doesn't really care if you fail the timers, just things happen that you wish didn't.

Also there's quite a few levels that don't have timers, the whole thing is really overblown.
