Fargin Icehole posted:Keep Doom Eternal. One of the best First Person Shooters i've played, it has weaknesses and strengths if you pair it up with doom 2016, but i dont think i can go back to 2016 now, I love how there's twice the amount of enemies and i'm not getting tired of the glory kills ever I couldn't get into it. I really liked Doom 2016, but Eternal felt like a whole different beast. It felt like it added too much to the formula, when all I wanted to do was shoot bad guys with a bigass shotgun. Seeing that tiny shotgun clip at the beginning was a huge bummer.

Edmond Dantes posted:Alright, let's do this. Help me cull my cart: My useless bit of feedback is that I had enough buyers remorse with Cryptark that I actually returned it, which is something I rarely do. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what it was about it that I didn't like. I feel like Doom Eternal will fall down to $20 or below within a few months.

There is also Drifting Lands which is basically Diablo 2 the SHUMP but I've never had a chance to try it. The $5 is it new permanent price so you won't see it on sale.

Junkie Disease posted:Remnant has branching patch and random levels and bosses so that many playthroughs will be very different, its like beating Slay the Spire Once and saying its all there is It still repeats a TON of content on extra playthroughs. It seriously lacks variety. I also feel like co-op is mandatory to get the best of it which should inform any buying decisions.

Doom Eternal basically got me to buy a gaming mouse because there's no way I would remember that many keyboard binds. Even with a load of extra buttons I ended up putting chainsaw on scroll up and flamethrower on scroll down just so they'd be as close to hand as possible.

Started to write a post-by-post reply, realised a bunch of people had chimed in (thank you everyone!) so I'm gonna cut it short. Took out Death of the Outsider, Cryptark and Infra (I had already removed Ion Fury before I posted, could we go a week without getting milkshake duck'd by a developer :< ), and I may put Doom Eternal in the "for next time" pile and just reinstall 2016 at this point. /edit: Will probably take out Remnant as well and save it until I know I'm gonna co-op it with someone. I don't mind replaying games when they're just fun (Sleeping Dogs can attest to this), but I for the most part don't like games build around replaying them, if that makes sense. One more question then: Satisfactory vs Shipbreaker. There can be only one. Fight. Mokinokaro posted:I'd dump Guilty Gear if you have any MP aspirations as the netcode is utterly awful and Remnant: From the Ashes because it's extremely content slim and wants you to buy DLC to make it close to the game it was promised to be.  Mokinokaro posted:Resonance of Fate is also one to be wary of because the port hasn't been patched and has a few nasty bugs that randomly crop up. ErrEff posted:Resonance of Fate is one of my niche favorites from the PS3/360 era but it expects you to grind a lot to get anywhere, so bear that in mind. However, being able to attach multiple barrels and scopes to your gun is great. Shame about RoF being buggy; I played a bunch on the Ps3 but never finished it so I was just considering getting the pc version and using a trainer to give myself infinite money/hexes (once I unlocked a certain type, of course) and just have fun with the combat/mod system without having to grind.

Doom Eternal is basically a character action game like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta, but as a first person shooter. 2016 is more of a casual run and gun affair. Eternal basically demands mastery over its systems in a way that 2016 never did. In many ways its a better game with a lot of technical depth, but it's also a more exhausting game to play and if you aren't engaging with the mechanics then you will probably hate it.

Do you want a rather chill game where you carefully cut ships apart or do you want to build a sprawling industrial hellscape while often stressing about making it more efficient in any way possible? Edmond Dantes posted:I don't, actually. I'm in South America so I avoid any type of PvP since 200 ping makes for some miserable experiences. I just got the itch to play a fighting game and this is like 1/5 the price of SFV so Then it would be fine. The other fighter with good SP I'd recommend is Soul Calibur VI but I'm not sure how expensive it currently is.

Hey woah, I didn't realize Command and Conquer had branching paths/missions! Thank god for mission select. ...also wow, I did NOT expect a mission that early on to be so hard. Bialystok forced me to learned how to use APCs, how to avoid my troops getting squished, and how to take out two tanks with troops. Wow.

Remnant is a game I personally hated, but one where I can also see why a lot of people liked it. I think if you play it for the 2-hour return period, you will have seen enough of it to know where you personally stand on that. Everything you see in that period of time is basically all that you get, it does not substantially change after that. You're either fine with that or you're not.

This is all [citation needed], going by some streams I watched and info floating around, so feel free to correct me on this. How slow can you take it in Satisfactory? Can it be played like a city builder and just plan/build stuff or will I have to react to something going hilariously wrong and scramble to build stuff before I Chernobyl the entire planet? Mokinokaro posted:Then it would be fine. The other fighter with good SP I'd recommend is Soul Calibur VI but I'm not sure how expensive it currently is. SC6 complete is about the same price as SF5 Champion, so 5x the price of GG. I could still be talked into getting one of those if I end up dropping DOOM and Remnant, mind.

space marine todd posted:Thanks! I'll check it out. If this is your main reason for liking Nova Drift, then I reiterate, definitely check out Hades. I'm not a huge fan of bullethell or shmups, but ND hooked me on its build customization system. Of the wide variety of rogue-lites out there, I think Hades is the closest in this regard. And if you do like bullethell, some encounters in Hades can certainly approach that feel.

The only timer of any sort Satisfactory has is at the start when you're relying on biofuel for power and you gotta keep up on manually keeping your generators fueled. Once you get to coal and got that all automated you can take all the time in the world.

The first area is the most drab out of all the setting but once you get past the first boss you start finding interesting weapons like a flaming smg that shoots exploding fireballs as it's alternate fire or the ability to summon explosive bugs on command. The weapons and spells you get just get increasingly interesting and fun as you head towards the end of the game.

I think I may go for Satisfactory then. Thanks again for the replies. I also just realised I may be leaving Doom Eternal for later on because it'll be somewhat hectic/involved, and I'm about to go for the Logistics Simulator. So this is how being old feels like.

First 30 minutes of CSD 3 are as stressful as 6 hour mark CSD. Either the first game ramp up is slooooooow or I’ve become way clumsier in 6 months. Either way, I’m afraid of CSD 3 end game now.

Edmond Dantes posted:I kinda like the concept of Shipbreaker but the time limits kinda sour it for me and with the limited ship designs it feels like it'll end up being "learn a ship then take it apart as fast as possible" which... ehhhhh. Shipbreaker has some good bones but its still very much EA and is pretty limited in content at the moment. What they have currently gave me about 15hrs of gameplay so its got some hooks but I put it aside for a while so that I hopefully don't get burned out before they add a bunch of other content, bug fixes, QoL stuff like key bindings and resolution options that don't blow out the HUD, etc. Regarding the time limit - its not that big of a deal honestly as its pretty generous and it helps you to prioritize efficiency. The devs have acknowledged that a lot of people don't like it, though, and said they are brainstorming options. I'm glad I got it to try it out but I also kind of wish I'd waited a bit until it was little bit farther along. pentyne posted:Here's what I'm thinking is going to be my sale purchases Firewatch is the best walking simulator out there, imo. I love that game. It has probably the best video game story I've ever played through with empathetic characters that feel like actual human beings with their sad, beautiful lives. It also resonated with me personally a bit because I have friends who do fire lookout every summer and I've spent quite a lot of time camping and hiking around fire towers out in the woods. Without saying too much, the ending is absolutely perfect and drives home the themes that were built on throughout the game while subverting expectations in a way that avoids being meta or twisty for the sake of twists. Bonus for me was all of the people who have clearly only ever engaged with genre fiction being mad and confused at the ending. And like the other person said, try to play through it in one sitting if you can. Such a great game.

Awesome! posted:so its not like a dark souls, summoning highly optional type of game? It doesn't have summoning, it has proper coop. The game does scale enemy numbers and boos health between multiplayer and singleplayer, but a lot of people seem to think bosses that summon adds should be a coop-only thing and it's not (for very good gameplay reasons).
