Mordja posted:Yeah, the combat in the Van Helsing games was really pretty unsatisfying. Ugh, I want to like these games SO MUCH, but the devs just completely ruined what little fun there was to be had when they split the 3 good classes from 1/2 into 6 awful ones for 3/Final Cut. Like it wasn't great before, but at least you could build your characters in different ways. Now at least half the classes are super gimmicky; if you pick Constructor for ex. you better like being a pure summoner or your SOL.

Tangledeep has lady characters in it. Part of me is all The rest of me is all "yesss you finally get to feel what I feel as a girl when I want to be a lady in a game when they assume men are the "default" choice" but can you imagine not buying a game purely because it doesn't have characters in it who look like you?

there's a strange number of people who think it's "weird" to be different sex in a game where you already play as someone who murders hundreds of people every day for a living, which is a considerably larger difference between you and your character than what's between your legs

Man, Myth was a brutal, heartless monster of the game. Looking forward to the day Bungie returns to that franchise. I remember when I couldn't get past Soulblighter in the final mission where you have to chuck the head of Balor into a hole. So my plan was to have dwarves set up explosive charges around the head, then launch it into the hole. It took a number of tries, but blammo! I got it in! ... the game did not think that counted as legit, sadly.

I'd like to point out that if given the choice, I have never played as a female character.

I like the base sprites, but if you don't it's easy to mod in others - there's a zelda pack, and others. Also, I love love LOVE that your choice of gender (dude/lady/beast/who cares?) isn't affected by your sprite, so if you want to be a musclebound shirtless Thor of a sprite and be a lady, that's coo'

For people with multiple drives. I have Steam set up on drive C://. I also have separate games drives on D and E. I want to reformat C because ehhhh. But this'll obviously wipe my Steam directory. Will this also uninstall all the games on D and E ( like it does for it's own drive when you uninstall Steam. )? Or will they be fine. Will reinstalling Steam just cause it to detect the D and E drives and start working automatically again? Do I just need to transfer my Steam folder off of C, just containing everything but the steamapps folder so it will fit on my D/E drive? I'd rather not have to reinstall 5 terrabytes of games if I didn't have to.

deep dish peat moss posted:I posted earlier about Tangledeep when I was just a few hours in and it was crashing a lot, but the crashing has been fixed so here's an updated post after ~5 hours of crashless gameplay. Thanks for this great write-up. Sounds like it's definitely my style. Is there a firm release date they are shooting for, or are they one of those "whenever it's done" developers? Tangledeep should scratch the traditional roguelike itch until Stoneshard comes out.

Some people have genuine melt-downs that they're forced to play as the gender they're not. Sorry - clarification - men(children) have melt-downs when they're forced to play women, while I imagine most women just sigh in exasperated resignation yet again when a game has only male avatar variations. And without even wanting to go there, this is separate again from the loving completely unhinged email I got from a "friend" (As I slowly try to distance myself from him) when the new GTA IV expansion title was simply announced back then. awesmoe posted:I did some brief research and I think it was direct in c. Makes sense, if what they did was just delete everything in the install directory. I just don't understand how they managed this one. The Pools of Radiance one makes sense, it hosed up only if you installed it anywhere but default (which I presume was Program Files, and who installs games there) so I'm guessing the uninstaller just worked with the terrible logic of "keep going up a directory until we're in Program Files, or after X attempts at going up a directory" at which point it just went "Well, we're probably in the right place" and then "If I can't find a PoolsOfRadiance directory, we can just start burning everything to the ground from here". Okay maybe that doesn't make complete sense but still, Myth 2 deleting your root directory if you installed to C:\Myth2 instead of C:\Games\Myth2 implies that it would have deleted all your other games as well even if installed into C:\Games\Myth2. I can't work this one out, outside of HOW DARE YOU INSTALL SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN WHERE I SUGGEST, FOR THIS YOU SHALL PAY WITH YOUR FILES HAHAHAHA <- presumed actual uninstaller AI quote. markgreyam posted:Sorry to interrupt but this will help me and you; for people considering Vermintide It's oddly challenging to offload a Vermintide CE key for $7, so trying again.

Rookersh posted:For people with multiple drives. I'll get beaten here but whatever. Nothing other than uninstalling a game through Steam will uninstall a game installed by Steam. Steam won't care about your games if you uninstall Steam or format the drive that Steam is installed to. If you preserve the Steam directory sans game data and then copy it back post-format, you should be fine from a Steam point of view because Steam is actually pretty good at rebuilding itself if even you've just started the .exe in a directory. Maybe the odd game will have something system-related it did to C: during installation but I imagine that would sort itself out pretty quickly, or worst case if you copy the game data away, uninstall, copy the game data back, reinstall for those (hopefully) few games. I'd be more inclined to point out that you need to make sure you preserve your C:\Users\<username>\AppData directory because otherwise you'll lose all your saves/configs for the majority of games.

First thought: drat, that 'all-time peak' sure is loving something. Second thought: holy poo poo less then 200 people played this free moba at the same time today How is it not cancelled yet? It can't be making them more then the server costs at this point, right? Is it just 'we put so much time and effort into this, it has to succeed'?

Xander77 posted:Far Cry Best part of Farcry 4 is that literally every single main mission makes you choose between the two resistance leaders, and regardless of which one you side with you find out after that they're using the victory in order to achieve something utterly despicable/horrible. Like the male resistance guy is some hosed up pedophile or something, and the woman believes in bringing back slavery. It's loving ridiculous. Gameplay is a blast though, same deal as Farcry 3 where the story was batshit stupid but it was a ton of fun to just play around in the world. Edit: added spoiler tags because I'm an idiot.

Like the male resistance guy is some hosed up pedophile or something, and the woman believes in bringing back slavery. It's loving ridiculous. I don't think it was quite pedophilia but the guy wants to turn the country into theocratic despotism (by using the young girl who's been selected at birth to be a religious symbol, like the Dalai Lama, as a figurehead) and the woman wants to make it a totalitarian-capitalist narco-state (and kill said religious symbol). Both regimes involve loads of purging people and conscripting the rest. It's basically stretching the "tradition vs. modernity" axis into absurdity with a heap of "maybe the good guys are actually the bad guys?!" It's depressingly nihilistic yet somehow contrives to be pro-authoritarian, because just sitting at Pagan Min's dinner table and letting him run the country is ultimately the least lovely solution.

I think you can only kill them after you complete the main plot (which involves killing one of them to let the other consolidate their power) but even if you do that, NPCs still talk about the gameworld as if the current leader is still alive.
