Wait, where did the hit game "I can't breathe" go? It was like 2 games down from "Three Lesbians in a Barrow". Serious question though, are any of these multiplayer games? Is there anywhere that has information like this rather than clicking through every single one?

Jerusalem posted:I remember the original Mirror's Edge being a blast right up until the point that they forced combat on you, despite the entire game plot AND mechanics wise seemingly designed for being a runner who AVOIDS getting into fights and ideally never gets spotted at all. The second game integrates melee combat into the running better, but you can't use guns anymore, and later enemies have gimmicks that require specific attacks to beat. The game also has way more mandatory combat, especially in the story where you're regularly locked into arenas until you beat a boss or the defined amount of mooks. The combat absolutely dragged down the 2nd game even more for me. orcane fucked around with this message at 09:41 on Jun 7, 2020 |

orcane posted:The first game is better about it in my book because you can outrun most encounters but for that you need to know where to go. Of the unavoidable fights one is a boss that's primarily about the disarm QTE, and by taking a gun from one beat cop and shooting a few SWAT guys you can at least get the other encounters over with easily. It's completely possible to beat the game with a no guns run without much difficulty. Mirror's Edge like Dishonored is one of those games where it feels so much more rewarding doing a no-kill style run.

If they're bringing Origin Access to Steam, then EA needs to bring almost it's entire catalogue on Origin to Steam. EA is just dropping stuff in waves, apparently the next wave is coming on the 11th. So I guess they're releasing a bunch of stuff every Thursday?

From the PoV of player freedom, the option to pick up a gun and shoot the annoying anti-runner commandos is alright, although it's not implemented well and thematically it feels out of place. The sad part is that Catalyst isn't any better, they give you different tools but still insist you fight 20 guys with body armor and heavy guns occasionally.

There's a pdf about ant philosophers. There's like twenty different SHMUPs. There are horror games of every flavor including Sagebrush, which is about exploring a cult compound. There's an open world SNES-looking pirate adventure sim. There's a freaking flash platformer featuring garbage physics. There's a VR exploration of New Zealand. There's an ASCII hacking/typing puzzle game about helping a person in space prison. The bundle reminds me of when you'd get a huge box of floppies with a shitload of freeware and pirated games on it and just going nuts exploring what's on there. Sweet bundle!

Hello steam thread, been playing through my back catalogue during the pandemic. Finally beat GTA 5 story mode to the end credits and was looking for advice on how much fun there is to be had if I keep playing and go after all the property and missions, etc. I had a blast playing through the game and always wanted to beat the story but I feel like I’ve “done” everything the game has to offer at this point. Online sounds interesting but also too tempting to shove micro transaction money into building your empire so I think I’m going to avoid that. I think I’m ready to move on to another game but I didn’t want miss out on something amazing to do in single player, so any advice is appreciated. I also went through my steam library and put together the following list of “good games I really should’ve played by now”, and would like hear suggestions on what to play next. Some of this list is pretty shameful... Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY Bioshock remastered (story is already spoiled for me) Bulletstorm Dead Space Prey (newest one) RE2 remake SW Jedi Fallen Order Titanfall 2 Tomb Raider 2013

Been messing around with Kards: WW2 CCG on Steam. And it's pretty neat combination between a boardgame and a CCG. It's different from the standard CCGs in that operating units in combat costs resources/mana and you try to push to control the frontline to make your artillery/bombers better. And also the art is really nice:  They're having a D-Day event with free community rewards, so it's a good time to try it out. I'm currently messing around with a USA 'midrange' list just from the beginner decks and it's a blast.

They're all great, but Asylum is the oldest so probably the most "archaic". The Tomb Raider reboot is superb and probably the prettiest of the games, but Prey is a masterpiece and the most fun to play. That might make you decide to reverse the order!

I finally combed through the bundle one game page at a time, and the following is what I found interest me: Neon Blight: Final Demo - Cyberpuck Rogue-lite/gunstore management Oxenfree Cromwell - Reigns clone OneShot - I heard good thing about this puzzle game Interstellaria - Spaceship command sim. It does lands on alien planet Democratic Socialism Simulator - with animals Night in the Storm - Look charming and good reviews 9 Till Void - roguelike deckbuilding Mutiny Island - open-world pirate Myth Bearer - Zelda rpg where your choice matters? Plunge - card game Knights of the Card Table - card game Quench - Godgame to save animals that can talk Codemancer - Programming puzzle Feud - Reigns in 4x4 grid boardgame? Wakamarina Valley, New Zealand - Walking game in a super-realistic(?) forest. Include VR version The Testimony of Trixie Glimmer Smith - Cartoon VN with hidden sanity system? Verdant Skies - Western Harvest Moon? I recall this is quite new and selling at full price. Mon-cuties for All - Pet-raising. 0.5v but playable from start to finish. Village Monsters - Stardew Valley with many other focuses? Fortune-499 - This is also free in Humble Trove. It's greatly designed card game. Gataela - Victorian Steampunk RPG with Talking mechanic battle A Mortician's Tale - Mortician sim StarFighter R&D HD Edition: Scrolling shoot'em up with ship upgrade and base building Babysitter Bloodbath - Puppet Combo's horror. Look up Puppet Combo if you like retro horror.

I loved both City and Knight and though there were some annoying batmobile segments in knight, the batmobile itself is actually fun to drive and adds a lot to how fun it is to travel around the city. Both city and knight have a ton of riddler challenges and collectibles which can get really old after a while if you get tired of that kind of thing. My suggestion is if you are getting annoyed doing them, just skip them and watch what happens on youtube. I do recommend the side quests though as some of them are fantastic, particularly in Knight. I never played origins so I can't really comment on that one, only to say it's a little divisive and was made by a different team than the other three. Also in general for City and Knight remember a lot of trophies rely on skills and gadgets that you acquire along the way, so it's not really worth it trying to hunt them down early in the game (although both games allow you to mark them on your map for later). SolidSnakesBandana posted:I think if you played them all back to back, you would end up feeling fatigue for the game. You also seemed to forget about Arkham Origins. Having just replayed city I can agree with that. It's strange to complain about 'extra' gameplay, but some of the challenges and riddler trophies are just irritating and frustrating. As much as I love Knight (and actually prefer it to City in a lot of ways), it probably has a higher percentage of annoying trophies and challenges.

Granted I never finished Knight but I can't see how anything could be more obnoxious than City's riddler "challenges". Some of them are just like "Oh its in a cage! Here's a button that opens the cage, next to the cage." Here's one inside a single room blocked by a crumbling wall! Good thing I have this wall explosive here.

They are pretty much the same thing, though it seemed like there was more of them and they were generally harder (I'm not sure if this is true or just my perception at the time, I'd have to replay it). Also, Knight had a lot of 'get a 30 point combo to pass this challenge against 10 of these irritating bad guys' challenges that I don't think City had and I hated those. I 100%ed both games, but I remember having more trouble with Knight.
