Anyone able to recommend a satisfying grind that will run on a 2011 macbook pro (2.3ghz i5, intel hd 3000 512mb)? been playing a somewhat buggy build of cataclysm dda but am looking for something with a sense of progression. Never been a mac user so im not all that familiar with whats available on osx.

I'm looking to fill out my Steam wishlist for the Winter Sale. Name two games on your wishlist, one over $10 and one under $10, that I should add to my list. I already have about 400 games, so this may be tricky. I like games that are really quirky and offbeat. I can't do FPS's unless they're walking sims, my aim is terrible due to a childhood case of Consolitis. Faves are stuff like Slay the Spire, Yoko's Island Express, this war of mine and XCOM

Check out Mutant if you want something akin to xcom, I'd also suggest grabbing a ps4/xbone controller since steam natively has drivers for those and would let you help your consolitis

Poly Bridge - a cute, but challenging bridge building puzzle game (under 10 bucks). Bonus pick: Freedom Force: Freedom Pack - a small scale real-time tactics game set in the silver age of comics, and it's mechanically superior sequel. (under 10 bucks for both).

I see you have both SteamWorld Digs, so if you want some side-view X-COM action in that universe you can't go wrong with SteamWorld Heist. You do need to do some manual targeting but as I understand it it's got controller support.

If you're looking for offbeat, West of Loathing is a very quirky and funny RPG, that's an offshoot of an ancient browser game. Around  INFRA is a first person adventure/walking simulator, that puts you into the boots of an structural analyst. You take photographs of decaying structures, surveying them for repairs. It does eventually get a bit more exciting than that, though. About $30.

Is Deep Rock Galactic any good? Me and my friend just wanna run around and shoot things cooperatively in a Borderlands 2-like. I was really hopeful Fallout 76 would scratch that itch but, well.... we all know how that turned out. I'd ask their thread but I'm kinda guessing it's biased.

You do need to do some manual targeting but as I understand it it's got controller support. I disagree with this recommendation. The main problem with the game is that cover is sparse and unreliable. Most floors can be shot through and cover doesn't protect you from the top so enemies can easily flank you by being at a 45 degree angle to you. Second problem, ricochets are far less useful than the trailers suggest. It's basically impossible to ricochet on purpose at all unless you're using the weapon type designed for it, and half of those weapons don't let you shoot after moving. On top of that, most ceilings and walls are not at useful angles. Third problem, the balance is complete garbage. It's got an alert level system except it's way too short- you will never finish a mission before enemies start swarming in. This means you are basically required to clear the field every round, and the game knows this so most enemies can be killed in one shot when you're using appropriate gear. Unfortunately the game knows THAT too so it throws lots of them at you. During boss battles. Where the bosses have like 50x the hp of a normal enemy. That's enemy balance. Party member balance is pretty bad too, with some characters being obviously overpowered and others being kindof useless. I think the only tolerable way to play this is to just put the difficulty at easy and treat it like a casual game. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Nov 30, 2018 |

I just dropped the game for a lot of the same complaints (and it just not being the type of game I was hoping for-- so many missions felt identical to me, and the game lacks a lot of the charm that sustained me through the mechanically iffy parts of Dig 1&2). Can't remember what difficulty I was on but there were a few missions where it felt like I spent turn after turn inching forward because I kept on getting mobbed by random enemies.

Every boss I've fought has summoned waves of reinforcements while I fought them. The QUEEN is the worst about this, summoning several other full bosses alongside the waves of trash. That's where I quit. It was an endurance fight in a game with few sources of healing and lovely cover. I got her health halfway down on my best attempt.

Well I mean, one of the bosses only does 1 damage per attack so without reinforcements it'd be a joke fight? Unless the devs released a patch that completely changed the boss encounters I don't see how you could've missed it.

The only problem I have is that the minigun is kindofa jerk to deal with (inaccurate garbage dps for the first second of any firing burst, then laser-accurate death machine). Solution: trick a friend into playing the Soldier Edit: Oh you only have one friend. Even better, pubbies love playing soldier and the community is nice so you can play Scout like the cool kids

Oh, no, the usual reinforcements in regular missions aren't that big, but arrive every 2 rounds iirc so if you don't take them out immediately you either start getting shot at (which is bad, characters can take 2 hits at most before dying to the next shot and medpacks are single use) or you slow down allowing bigger, actually threatening reinforcements to start coming out. Maybe slowing down is less of an issue on Experienced. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Nov 30, 2018 |

I need games that I can play while listening to podcasts or YouTube. So something I can do with a little bit of concentration, but I can still play while dividing my attention. Also the gameplay needs to be not super reliant on sound. And a game without super awesome music, so I dont feel guilty about ignoring it. I played through dark souls like this and have a feeling I missed part of the experience, but I could run around and fight and stuff ok. On the other hand, picross requires too much of my brain power and I end up ignoring the podcast. It's a tough balance!!

That would be perfect, my friends have been bugging me to get it on switch. Can I do my own thing with a character without getting out of sync with a group of friends? Edit to clarify...can I play on my own with a character and use the same character when I play with friends, or would that desync us? Would I need to only play the character while playing with my friends? WHY BONER NOW fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Nov 30, 2018 |

Once you're 70 (takes about 2hrs), everyone's within a nice range of each other, and if you ever fall behind, your friends can just carry and you catch up quick if you share loot.

OK, looking to put a little dent in my backlog, I promised myself I would only buy 1 game in the Winter sale for each one I finish before then. What of these recent releases can I play and beat in one 6-hour-ish (or less) sitting?

Well, in D3 the game doesn't really start until you hit 70. Essentially, level 1-69 are the two-hour tutorial.

It really bugs me when people say this because it's not really true and makes the game sound awful. While D3 has the most accessible endgame of any ARPG out there IMO, the journey through story mode (bad writing aside) is fun enough on its own, particularly if you're playing casually.
