Well I for one I'm really loving Metal Gear Survive except for the regional price. If there's any american that can help me buy a 33 buck code from GMG, I'd be forever in their debt.

Yeah, me too. Beta is fun and I'm interested in the single player. It's also hilariously shameless which is noteworthy

Play the sequel episodes and then the original. You move around fast as gently caress in HL1 as god intended you to in fps's, though going down ladders is a crapshoot. Play Opposing Force after the original if you're still hankering for some more HL. It's good. Blue Shift, the other HL1 spin-off thing is pretty boring.

ZearothK posted:So, Rain World? Heat Signature? Sell me or unsell me. I'll quote my earlier post: Pigbuster posted:Rain World is such a weird game for me because I... think it's a masterpiece, but my memories of it are such a blur. It's one of the most oppressive game worlds I've ever seen; I look back at The Exterior and it just boggles my mind how I was able to even begin to get through that, but that's sorta what the game does, it makes you start operating purely on instinct to survive the everything. Getting through an area you spent the last few hours beating your head against is so satisfying, and sometimes the procedural generation blesses you with absolute magic like fighting alongside a gang of scavengers in a war against a lizard horde and then a vulture flies in and causes even more chaos and it's the best poo poo ever. One thing I didn't mention is that there's now an easy difficulty that makes enemies less aggressive and the karma system less punishing. It's hard to say which I'd recommend; the normal difficulty is truly absurd, but pulling off victories is so satisfying. As far as I can tell the only thing easy mode misses out on are certain unlocks for the sandbox mode. I'd also say to look things up if you get stuck because the game doesn't tell you much and it can trip you up. One major thing I ran into: you double-tap the pickup button to switch objects between hands. This is vital because the slugcat likes to prioritize spears which makes it the item they'll throw first, but the best way to fight lizards is to chuck a rock at their heads to knock them back and then spear their neck, so it's far better to have a rock in the Slugcat's right hand, spear in the left. I would've given the game up if I didn't know this. Another thing is to NEVER press jump underwater to speed up, since it makes most of your air go away. Instead you snake through the water to go fast.

First world problems: I want to start Prey again to put my new ultrawide monitor thru its paces, but the aiming reticle is far far too low when in an ultrawide resolution. Anyone else seen this? (ed) Mind you the bullets (or darts  ) DO hit where the reticle is, it's just really offputting for the aim point to be so far below center.Also wowee zowee I need to turn AA back on.

Anyone else seen this? Turns out it's configurable in (Prey folder)\GameSDK\game.cfg, via variable g_reticleYPercentage (default is 0.575, I set it to 0.530 and it's about right for all weapons now)

bad boyfriend worse lay posted:It's nothing to do with resolution, Prey's crosshair just isn't centred for some reason. I think it was something like making people not stare at the ground so much. Yeah I kinda realized that from messing around. It was also way way off from where the weapons appeared to be pointing though, to the point where slower rounds like darts or beams were noticeably offset Luckily its configurable

You get a bunch of neat tools, and you can pause at any time to think or even to aim guns or other weapons/tools, so you can set up weird stuff. A few webms I made ages ago: Infiltrate a heavily defended ship to rescue someone? Nah, I'll just hijack a different ship and blow the first ship up until my rescue target gets sucked out a blast hole. https://i.imgur.com/Dv9WVJ8.mp4 Out of armor piercing weapons and I got an armored dude is in my way all I got is a swapper, a concussion hammer, and a stupid idea. https://i.imgur.com/1MD5BSg.mp4 Got blown out a window infiltrating through this ship.

Looking for some opinions on my cart: Shock Tactics, aka generic XCOM clone that looks like it'll scratch that itch. Divinity Dragon Commander aka four games smushed into one so it's like Spore where they're all not great, but I hear the writing is amazing. JYDGE - shooty things. As it's the most expensive thing on my list it's the one most likely to get cut. How difficult is it?

StrixNebulosa posted:Looking for some opinions on my cart: The CYOA game has fun writing. The strategic game is a pretty simple boardgame against braindead enemies, the tactical game is just a series of skirmishes in varied maps and gets pretty repetitive. The dragon action game is something added to the tactical game.

The writing is what saves a lot of Dragon Commander but I guess it depends on what you heard was amazing about it. It's really fun writing, like the rest of the Divinity series, that incorporates some very-on-the-nose (and occasionally just the nose) metaphors for political and social issues to go along with its alliance building/breaking stuff. IE. the undead skeletons are the religious fundamentalists that don't like it all this "equality" stuff the elves are preaching. But its better than what the sentence makes it seem.

JYDGE offers a lot of ridiculous combinations. Favourites: -Invulnerability while reloading. Therefore take the slowest reloading weapon and just plow through the level clubbing everyone to death. -The ability to make turrets powered by the blood of the dead -Super-Hot mode. -finishing a survival mission by being really tiny and cramming myself under junk.

Is Europa Universalis 4 good on its own? $10 for the base game is tempting but my interest will probably drop a lot if it needs the expansions to be worthwhile.
