Ganson posted:I got Empyrion - Galactic Survival which is okay though the devs ruin a bunch of areas by spamming turrets pointlessly. Apparently the Multiplayer is neato with goons but I haven't gotten there yet. Have you tried The Forest? *I actually haven't played it myself, but I heard good things. And the trailer looks good.

One of today's missions for worthless stickers is to earn an achievement in a game. How dare Valve pressure me to actually play the games I buy??? Also FYI: Unlocking all of the stickers for a particular scene allows you to move and resize stickers on that scene, as well as use any stickers you have on it, on top of being able to display it on your profile for whatever reason. Of course a bunch of the stickers have voids to interact with the scene or other stickers, but I guess you can dump all the picnic food you want into a picture?

Ganson posted:I really like Survival/Crash Landed games with stories. Wish I could find something else as good as Subnautica :-/ The Long Dark is getting a story mode August 1st and is also a really good survival game IMO. Also it's currently 60% off.

McCoy Pauley posted:Having just started Hollow Knight after putting a few hours into Dead Cells, I agree with you that HK feels floaty and less responsive than one might like. The aesthetic and the sound design are great, and I'll stick with it, but in comparison, Dead Cells feels incredibly tight and responsive in the controls -- it just handles exactly like I want a Metroidvania to handle. The second rune doesn't come from the Watcher, it comes from beating a sub-boss in the sewers.

havenwaters posted:Well Grim Dawn still exists. Titan Quest got redone for modern systems/resolutions and bug fix patches finished in March. There's that Van Helsing game but it's been around for a couple years. Diablo 3 still exists and the necromancer is coming out/just came out. That Median XL Mod to Diablo 2 had a huge update a couple months ago. The only one of those I haven't actually tried is the revamped Titan Quest, but that's because the original never really clicked for me. Also, I'm that one goon who hated Victor Vran. I feel like it's a genre that's been very quiet the past year or so, most of the action is in updates to games that are older, so I was wondering if maybe I'd just missed something cool come out.

I got all I need this sale, Everspace, Life is Strange, Hollow Knight, Dark Souls II and Sproggiwood. Dark Souls II: buy it in the humble monthly, not on steam. 12 USD for DSII and some random games, if you haven't subscribe to humbel before you get another 10% off. I payed 10.80€ for DSII that way. Also Roguelikes: If you want them for android, check the Humble Mobile Bundle: Roguelikes. It includes Sproggiwood and 8 others, I nabbed 9 android roguelikes for 5.26 USD.

PantsBandit posted:The second rune doesn't come from the Watcher, it comes from beating a sub-boss in the sewers. I'm not even sure who that first guy you mention is -- I must not have encountered him yet. I'm talking about the sewers guy. I guess I need to just keep buffing weapons. As nice as the controls are in this game -- as tight as the jumping and combat are -- the lag time to drink your potion and be healed is getting annoying. I've definitely died several times to this sewer guy when it seemed like I had enough time to drink the potion and came up a few frames short. Regardless Dead Cells continues to be great fun. I hope it sees regular updating.

Bobby The Rookie posted:My initial thoughts on Hollow Knight, not very far into it at all, are that it controls exactly as responsive as it needs to be, nothing more and nothing less, which is both consistent and also kind of disappointing in its own way. Compared to something in the same realm, like Ori and the Blind Forest, HK's platforming and the feel of the movement doesn't have any kind of dynamism, the gamefeel is really utilitarian and neutral. I find myself wanting the movement to be just a little more fast and fluid, but that also doesn't really seem to jive with the pace and tone that the game is going for either... but perhaps that'll change at some point. Jumping is faster for horizontal movement than standard walk/run. Also OP, please change title to Summer Sales 2017: No, there are no Daily Deals any more. Stop asking

Yeah with anything other than one of the big bosses you're going to want to hit them with CC. The other thing is looking for good combos. For example, a broadsword that does 2x damage leaves you vulnerable, but if you can freeze the guy first with an ice grenade you can nuke him before he can do anything.

Desktop dungeons for $1 is insane, everybody should jump on this, it's in cloud so even if you have a crappy phone you can play with any browser on a PC. It's also not really a roguelike and more a puzzle game mixed wih resource balancing, risk assesment and a town building metagame. It's great.

Anyone in the US bought from this place? https://uk.gamesplanet.com/game/pac-man-championship-edition-2-steam-key--3107-1 I could do some Pac-Man for a few bucks I think, but with the weird new gifting rules on steam I have concerns about buying codes from maybe not my region.

I got Domina last night, a sweary two fisted pixelly gladiator simulator, and it's amazing - completely berzerk presentation and almost grotesque physicality in the way your pixelmans hack at each other. It's like $5, definitely worth a look. Haven't played it more than ten minutes, but a work friend has and says it's really good.

All this talk about Hollow Knight...definitely going to pick it up. I'd recommend Enter the Gungeon for the sale. It's a Roguelike twinstick shooter with a SHMUP layer on top of it. Very fun, very hard, and I can see it taking a ton of hours to fully beat. Definitely worth the price. Soundtrack is pretty baller too. Now that GTA V mods are re-enabled, also getting that too.

Everybody who's looking at Dead Cells, it appears to be 31% off at WinGameStore and you can get an extra 5% with the voucher code pcgames5off. Brings the total to about $11.09 with the code applied. EDIT - I should mention, this deal appears to be for a Steam key. EDIT #2 - Deal is dead. NObodyNOWHERE fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Jun 28, 2017 |

Anti-Hero posted:Hollow Knight, Ori, or both?? Personally, I loved Hollow Knight but hated Ori. It's beautiful and all that, but I found the gameplay to be frustrating and dull - think I got stuck on an ice escape sequence later on in the game and just could not muster up motivation to continue.

Seconding this. Ori didn't feel like an exploration game, either - just a bunch of obstacle courses stapled together.

This is a quick post to recommend a game I stumbled across by pure chance a couple of days ago called I and Me. It's a fairly short puzzle platformer where you control two copies of yourself at once, both move, jump, etc. at the same time. It's got a very cute art style, amazingly lovely music, and a pretty decent number of levels, most of which are short and sweet. Nothing too taxing here, and you can hit h to get a guide to any given level, but it was a very enjoyable and relaxing escape here and there over the past few days.

Dead Cells and Subnautica are early access? I usually avoid early access simply due to the logic that however good a game in early access is now, it's usually going to be better later and it's not like we don't all have backlogs so there's plenty of other games I could play right now. So how complete are Dead Cells and Subnautica? Feel like I been waiting years for a lot of those survival crafting games to come out of early access. The Long Dark, The Forest, Subnautica, Rust, Ark, 7 Days to Die, etc. Wish they would hurry up and release already. -Blackadder- fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Jun 26, 2017 |

There's mouselook now, so it works like a dream. I've been playing it and I love it a lot? It's got that old-school design with the big weird levels, and the combat's pretty fun for someone who isn't into FPSes. There is a remake in the works, but it looks to be less colorful, which is just a drat shame.
