The original factions from WH1 are either moderately (Dwarfs and Vampire Counts) or massively (Empire, Greenskins and Bretonnia) improved. Plus many underlying gameplay changes and amazingly better modding support and documentation. E: in WH2

SnowRunner is the most relaxing, frustrating, and addicting game I've played in a while. It's a safe and good purchase over on the 'bad guys' store. Far Cry 5 is in my top 5 games of all time. I never touched the DLC. You don't really need to. New Dawn is good, but I didn't like the fact that the first two tiers of upgrades for most anything is completely useless.

That game seems really amazing and I want to get it, but I'm afraid that I'll find it stressful. I've been stuck in mud/snow/floodwaters quite a few times and it's always highly anxiety provoking. I look at SnowRunner and all I see is Bennett Foddy's Euro Truck Simulator.

Black Griffon posted:Is Big Pharma good? I've heard mixed things, but also some people who apparently love it very much. Do not be swayed by the belts. The belts and workstations exist to provide a physical limit to what you build. It's not even in the same universe as Factorio. There's no logistics of note. It's a bad tangram puzzle at best. Do not be swayed by some moralistic drama of being a good or a bad pharma. There's economics inspired by pharma industry practices but it's surface level. With that out of the way the reason you go to Big Pharma is it's micro economics are on point. It's like a Capitalism-like game focused on production only. You need to manage new construction like a capital project: estimate capital expense, calculate operation cost vs profit, find the payback period, and decide if that's good enough to pursue. There's a simple logic puzzle to figuring out how to take raw ingredients and stick their benefits in the right spot while avoiding side effects and this gives your your process design to check the economics of. You need to manage expected vs actual profit by navigating through the pharma inspired economy verbs like patents, refactoring application methods and cures, and making sure there's actually a market for what you're making and it's not likely to evaporate because you or your opponent cured it too hard. It's next to Capitalism 2 as one of my favorite microecon games.

I grabbed Yakuza 0 for pc in the recent Fanatical sale. I'm new to the series and I'm in chapter 3, with Majima. If I skip side activities (like the Shogi guy) will I be able to return to this city after the atory switches again?

Pretty close to the end of the story you can swap characters at any time; until then you're locked to whoever you're currently playing as So for once the answer really IS both yes and no!

You might be locked in as another character or in a new area for a while, but that's it.

You switch characters every 2 chapters; there are 17 or so, and when you're close to the end you'll get the option to switch at phone booths.

Which could take anywhere from a few days to several months, the next Kiryu segment introduces a massive timesink.

Hot on the heels of Fanatical's Yakuza 0 deal is a new Yakuza Kiwami 2 deal. Not as cheap as Yakuza 0 but plenty good I think? Is it worth picking up if I burnt out on Yakuza 0 btw? I got to chapter 16 or 17 but by the time I just kind of wanted the game to be done. I should be pretty close to endgame already but haven't mustered the will to finish it, though I keep it on the HDD just in case. I hope the sidequests are as fun/addictive/silly in Kiwami 2...

You should follow 0 with Kiwami 1, tho. Kiwami 2 is also really resource heavy so buy it only if you have a modern rig or play it windowed.

Just FYI, the intro to the game can be a bit of a slog IMO, but you are approaching the point where the “full game” is accessible. Once you have unlocked both characters’ side careers, you will be able to see everything in the game world. Re: Kiwami 2, anyone able to sell me on it if I loved Y0 but thought YK1 was just dull as dishwater? It also played bad somehow?

Hwurmp posted:Kiwami 2 is Good but it depends on what burnt you out about 0. While I do enjoy the world and the melodrama, I think I just burnt out on the game pulling "AND THEN" too many times. I felt like the game was wrapping up ten chapters ago! Sure there were more plot twists each time to justify the story continuing, but at this point I'm kind of, eh, let's do side quests and more hostess club. So I guess my question is, is Yakuza 2 worth it if I want: MORE SIDEQUESTS MORE HOSTESS CLUB (or similar big undertaking minigame; property was kind of boring) A FAST PACED MAIN STORY* * I am okay with the story outliving its welcome because I don't really feel too compelled to play games. But if it keeps up a pace and isn't too crazy long with twists I'll be okay. As much as I am saying I burnt out on it, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Yakuza 0. Breakdance fools, be sad about Tamiya!

The hostess club returns in K2 so you're good on that front. Sidequests are there too for sure. As for the main story, I think it's tighter, maybe? I've played Y0 through K2 and to be honest I have such a hard time keeping track of the stories, because I play them over such long periods of time, spending so much of it dicking around with sidequests, that by the time I pick up the main story thread again I've forgotten who everyone is and why they're betraying each other. I do seem to remember K2 having a lot of twists and turns and betrayals, but it's been so long since Y0 that I can't compare the two too directly. If nothing else, it's a little more focused than 0 because there's only one playable character, so it's really just Kiryu's poo poo you'll have to keep track of.

I did; it was one of the first VR games I played too! The dull, booming bass of explosions and weapons-fire nearly deafened by vacuum is top notch. Still, still loses to FS2 as capital-class spaceship beam weapons go, though: FS2's beams look and sound like the barely-restrained apocalyptic force that they are in game.

The thing missing from a lot of modern space/flight and hell, even driving games, is story. FS2 is non stop story from beginning to end. Great cutscenes, great mission briefings, and when you're in mission it's an endless stream of mission-unique chatter over comms. It makes the game world seem alive. So many games now give you a basic text-only description if the mission, nothing but random AI barks during the mission, and save story and cutscenes for later. It's all so barren and lifeless. Hell, even that recent Maneater shark game knew that you had to add a human touch by having Chris Parnell pipe up often as he narrates the game.
