corn in the bible posted:my hope is frogwares's upcoming cthulhu game is good, but it's been delayed once again so signs are not so good Rip I'm still looking forward to it but it also seemed way more ambitious than their usual stuff so I'm not surprised

Sinking City was scheduled for next month until recently but is now listed as just 2019. Plus it was originally meant for a 2018 release, so we're well past normal delays at this point. It's a shame, Frogwares seems like cool people generally but they seem to have gotten over-ambitious

i appreciate that with sly 2's shift to having bentley and murray as playable characters they also kind of made sly a bit more flawed to balance out their dynamics a bit

I would be getting Dirt Rally 2.0, but I've already got Forza Horizon 4 on my backlog and my brains telling me that I don't need another driving game right now.

What's a good peaceful city builder if I just want to have a chill time growing an aesthetically pleasing city? Non-modern setting would probably be better.

non modern city builders almost always either focus on the hardships of living or are actually econ-strategy games like anno, rather than be simcity style sandboxes

I played the free play section of Anthem and had fun farting around as Iron Man. My dude continued to play the normal mission stuff and inventory crap. IDK, it doesn't seem like the worst thing ever. It's not for me, but I don't get the visceral hate it's receiving. It just seems like a normal moder spaceman shooty game (read: not DOOM). 5/10 - hitting rhinoceroses with lightning is fun

Ohhhhhh. So it eventually leans HARD into being Destiny. Well I still liked the free roam bit. Lady Iron Thor is a fun gimmick.

Also, much like Fallout 76, it's a game that doesn't do any of the stuff the developer is known for. Like yeah, modern Bioware is almost completely unrelated to even DA1-era Bioware, but I think people expect a lot from them regardless.

Fallout 76 offers exactly what Bethesda is known for, distilled down to it's purest essense.

People are being extra hard on it because it's coming from Bioware, a name that used to carry a lot of weight in the industry, and with the expectation that there's a lot riding on this game because they've released some duds recently and EA has a habit of taking studios out to big farm upstate.

i think my one complaint with sly 2 is that a few missions feel like they really lack polish and too many of the early game gadgets are kind of worthless thankfully iirc all of the worst missions are in the level i just beat

I mean, if you enjoy Bioware's awful writing there's still plenty of that poo poo in Anthem.

Also how poo poo it is to be solely at Bethesda's mercy without an active mod community.

Anno 1404 looks interesting and cheap, so I may give that one a shot. Free build mode in Subnautica has gotten me in the mood for various types of building games without a bunch of grinding now. I want to make things that look cool without a lot of busy work.

The Anno series might not be the exact thing you’re looking for, since it’s more interested in efficiency and stuff like supply routes than aesthetics. They’re fun games though

I still have really fond memories of Dragon Age: Origins. It was the first game I ever did roleplaying in. It was really fun in that regard. I know there are better games for that these days like Divinity, but for some reason those have never grabbed my interest enough.

skyrim has a skill that ragdolls enemies away and it's hilarious. all games should have a goofy ragdoll attack imo, it was hilarious in chaos theory and it's still hilarious now

Real hurthling! posted:Its boring while dos is good DOS 2 is hilariously broken with tons of useless mechanics and Bethesda levels of role-playing options. It can certainly be fun, but idk if I'd say pillars is boring in comparison when DOS combat becomes stale before you finish the starting area.

Is something just supposed to kind of click eventually in Spelunky because I keep dying to what feels like dumb bullshit or feel compelled to restart almost immediately because I'll get hit super early into a run. I'm still in the mines and it doesn't feel like I'm getting better. It honestly feels like I'm wrestling with the controls a lot, it's very squirrely and the character will often grab ledges I don't expect (or the exact opposite) and even though I can see what moves I need to pull off to get rid of a spider or two in my way actually pulling it off is a hassle.
