Or is it Sputnik posted:I'm gonna disagree and say that Risen 2 should be avoided due to extreme amount of jank and some game-breaking bugs. It shouldn't be a problem on todays PC:s, but there is a tomb (sealed tomb on tacarigua) that is literally impossible to raid if a specific graphics setting is below highest. I'm currently working through Risen 3 and so far it does everything Risen 2 does better. Oh sorry I definitely meant to make it clear that I wasn't recommending Risen 2, only Risen 1. It's interesting that you say that Risen 3 seems like a better game than Risen 2. Low bar and all that but still, I want to hold out hope. Also, I was going to go all snark earlier when I referenced my "overly long" RPG post and say that it was only long in context of it's 2017-and-no-one-has-an-attention-span-anymore, but you've put a tl;dr on a two line post so I feel vindicated despite removing that bit. markgreyam fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Jul 3, 2017 |

^^^ : so you don't necessarily mean games that come with OST DLC?al-azad posted:The Infinity Engine was meant to be for online RTS games but Interplay had the D&D license going to waste. It's why Baldur's Gate has a weird co-op function too and there's really no way to repurpose it for turn based combat while another player could be halfway across the map. I was even making reference to the old AD&D Gold Box stuff like the Eye of the Beholder games and the Ravenloft stuff ... it's all real-time which I just don't get given its source. I stand by my unmentioned-until-now claim that ToEE is how every isometric RPG should be done. And if you're open world, the old Might & Magic games. Otherwise if it's something like Legend of Grimrock etc it should be Wizardry style. I mean, they're DnD RPGs and I love them dearly but what is this real-time or pause-time poo poo and while you're at it get off my lawn. markgreyam fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Jul 3, 2017 |

Beatbuddy has a great soundtrack, although it's pretty short. Fun game, too. edit: The first two Tropicos too, of course. The soundtrack for the third wasn't as good, I thought, and I haven't played 4-5. Sway Grunt fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Jul 3, 2017 |

Bought a few games from the sale and got Demon Truck for some reason. Anyone know what's up?Palpek posted:The gameplay sections definitely feel like this. The very first playable area has you go to the 2nd floor of a building only for you to discover a door closed with a code - the key to the code is on the 1st floor so you go back to get it and then come back to the closed door (yeah, they really only send you back to waste time). Just started the game myself, and I'm not sure if this is something that got added in the remake or what it is, but if you hit the magnifying glass in the bottom right it just puts in the right code for you.

So Starpoint Gemini Warlords is.... decent? My rambling thoughts: I like it a lot, but because it's scratching a weird itch, maybe more than it deserves? It's sort of Freelancer crossed with Starfleet Command, although you never fly anything smaller than a corvette. ALSO Bigger=Better with ships so don't waste skill points on corvette and frigates etc. The controls are needlessly screwy, currently its much easier to leave guns on auto-target in combat and just manually fire the heavy weapons (maybe intentional?) That said there's context sensitive stuff everywhere though so it's easy to click a ship and say follow or whatever. And it's fun to take bounties and salvage things, and jump in when you see fights going on I've just gotten to the point where you gain command of your faction, which is actually really easy to control. It's pretty simplistic compared to something like the X series but its also not an incomprehensible nightmare like those are. I think the itch the game is scratching is that theres a scripted storyline that's surprisingly in-depth, and also this free-roaming faction war going on at the same time There's also npcs with dialogue trees and skill-checks in conversations which was neat but odd -Blackadder- posted:2.

Ohhh gently caress me, I thought I was past the "go to buy a game and discover it's already in your library" phase

How is Styx 2? I played a bit of the first one and while I liked the concept, there seemed to be a lot of jank to it. Like sometimes if you just want to do something simple like hike up to a ledge right in front of you, you'll press the button and accidentally leap out into the air in the other direction and fall 300 feet to your death, etc. Is the jank still in the latest one or is it more polished?

-Blackadder- posted:2. Stories Untold - Incredibly atmospheric Stranger Things-vibed text-based horror game with a twist! I played through Stories Untold in a single 2-hour sitting last night. It definitely has some very creepy parts and I really liked the text parser interface, but the story is based around a really common horror trope that I kind of hate at this point. Overall I think it's worth experiencing but way more for the journey than the destination. I also started playing Risen (the first one) the other night and it's really fun so far, though I was surprised at how fast literally anything could kill me. Feels like it was designed with the quick save button in mind. I also also logged a bunch of hours in N++ which is TOTALLY worth it if you like challenging platformers, and especially if you liked previous N games because they added a bunch of really neat new traps and level elements. I've also also also been playing Rollers of the Realm which is a cute mashup of pinball and RPG without going very deep into either. It's not a game you can really devote yourself to but it's fun for lunch breaks and such. Finally, I started playing Binding of Isaac: Rebirth at long last and yep, it's really good and pretty much fixes everything that was wrong with the original while adding a bunch of new stuff.

markgreyam posted:Having said that I love Oblivion (modded to remove level scaling) so long as you completely ignore the main story line or treat it like a job you've got to return to every so often to remove Oblivion gates (and that one town oh well) sort of way so possibly I'm part of the problem, I apologise for being initially harsh. . I haven't played Oblivion in forever but from what I remember it had some pretty good faction and sidequests, like it felt like the quest designers were trying to take advantage of all the new features they added to the engine after Morrowind. From what little I played of Skyrim, it felt like they went back to simple quests, but with way more dungeon crawling than Morrowind.

From what little I played of Skyrim, it felt like they went back to simple quests, but with way more dungeon crawling than Morrowind. The best part of Oblivion, and really one of the few parts worth playing, is the Dark Brotherhood questline. It's genuinely really good and worth the price of admission. The main quest is better than some people give it credit for. A lot of people were put off by not being the main hero center of the universe but if you just go with that and don't get pissy about it, it's a pretty fun romp through some cool places, provided of course that you instantly no-clip through the boring and tedious Oblivion gate closing tasks. The leveling system and mechanics are hot garbage through and through, however, and actively ruin a lot of the game. My advice is to set the difficulty slider to minimum and go archer. Melee combat is crap and feels like you're swinging nerf weapons and the spell system is pretty limited. But archery uses the physics system and even though there are technically no true headshot mechanics in the game, it's always satisfying to rocket an arrow into something's head and watch it do two flips as it flys 15 feet away.

TwoDogs1Cup posted:Would you guys recommend Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 enchanced editions? Never played them before. Just looking for some great RPGs ish games Yes 100%! I picked up BG1, 2, and IWD EEs this sale and I'm about half way through BG1 already. It's an excellent game and I'd you like cRPGs there's nothing here you won't enjoy. I'm looking forward to IWD a lot now that I've figured out how the Infinity Engine games work. IWD let's you build your entire party and focuses more on combat/dungeon crawling whereas BG let's you create the PC and then recruit NPCs. Also there is more story.

Faux Mulder posted:I was feeling lucky so I bought one of those 30-pack lootboxes from GMG. That's a pretty awful list, but I will vouch for Hiiro in case anyone's looking for a good game. It's a fairly short, nonviolent exploration platformer blatantly inspired by a much older indie game named Seiklus. It's also not currently part of the summer sale, so if the code hasn't been taken yet and this sounds like the type of game you would like I'd definitely recommend grabbing it.

I'm shying away from Automata for now since I can wait to play it until Invictus gets funds again, and being a WA resident sales tax on big-ticket stuff is no joke. Most keyed in on NEXT JUMP and StarCrawlers, if anyone has opinions on those.
