Andrast posted:rogues Fool, if a game has rogues but only like one or two then the proper genre is obviously rogue-lite.

So I started playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate and I'm having fun but just want to be sure: There's no repercussion for going FULL EVIE ALL DAY ERR DAY right?

A rougelike is a game with Rouge the Bat.

If it contains Rouge but she is not playable, it is a Rougelite. If it contains only Knuckles, it has “Rougelike elements”.

They share experience iirc. There are missions that will force you to use one of the twins so make sure you still invest in some gear and distribute skill points for Jacob.

Also irl pinball is harder for me because I've played too much video game pinball.

If I want to pick up ARK the base game for 10$ and play it as a single player experience where I go around hunting dinos and making myself better clothes, how is it for that?

A pretty significant thing happened today. Jason "This Game Will Never Go On Sale" Rohrer put one of his best games on sale at a crazy 75% off. https://store.steampowered.com/app/249570/The_Castle_Doctrine/ The Castle Doctrine is a drat good game despite the reviews, and those negative reviews are mostly because the game has been lacking players for a long time. This is a really good chance to get in on a game that made me a huge fan of Jason Rohrer or come back to it. From his email: Jason Rohrer posted:"This game will never go on sale."

You'll want to massively up the rates for everything if you do. The game is massively tuned for having a group of like 20-40 people playing together, where there's always someone online. Also the company making it are scummy as poo poo.

I tried it for that a few years ago and didn't like it. I'd recommend something like Subnautica or The Forest more for a single player survival kind of experience. Maybe it's changed, but it seemed to be lacking in much of a point without having other clans to be at war with or whatever.

Someone sell me on AI: the Somnium Files. I enjoyed 999 and Virtue's Last Reward, but I thought Zero Time Dilemma was a bit of a letdown that didn't fully resolve things. Is AI entirely self-contained?

Can you elaborate on how they're scummy? drat Dirty Ape posted:I tried it for that a few years ago and didn't like it.

I'm specifically looking for dinosaur hunting + crafting, but not base building. 7 Days to Die hasn't clicked with me because it relies so heavily on building stuff.

Is AI entirely self-contained? AI is its own story yeah. It also resolves everything, if you complete all branches of the decision trees.

StrixNebulosa posted:Can you elaborate on how they're scummy? They started work on a piracy/sea DLC for Ark, and then reskinned it into an entirely separate game (Atlas) presumably to make Ark season pass holders pay for it instead of getting it as part of their pass. Pissed off a lot of people because the games were pretty much carbon copies mechanics-wise and shared a lot of assets, so making it a new game was needless.

I've got a feeling they were just first in that trend. Isn't Fortnite still technically a beta?

So what I'm hearing is reinstall Monster Hunter World for actually good dinosaur hunting. Okay. Thanks.

The Minecraft part of it is but the BR part has been officially launched for a while now, but also that's all a bunch of meaningless distinctions so whatever. The main takeaway from ARK is that the devs are borderline incompetent and are basically only any good at adding content to their game(s) while never actually fixing any issues. ARK is fine for what it is and there's a reason that it's basically the only survival game from the bubble that has stuck around in high amounts (besides just momentum) but it's probably not a great SP offline experience among the options that are out there.

I do kinda like taming dinosaurs in ARK once I crank the 'time until tamed' way down. ARK's fine for what it is, I guess. I'd consider $10 to be reasonable, but I'm not the most hardassed of bargain seekers.

I'm asking for opinions because while I sure do have a spare 10$, I also have a lot of games on my wishlist that I could pick up for 10$, or books, or... so I'm trying to make the best use of it. Also I'm trying* to not buy games willy-nilly as I work on my backlog. *well kind of, you can't stop me from impulse purchases, but like, if I'm not gonna enjoy ARK I shouldn't pick it up
