StrixNebulosa posted:Tell me more about Starcom Nexus, please. It's been on my wishlist for ages but I don't know much about it. It's a top-down spaceship ARPG in the vein of Escape Velocity, Transcendence, or Star Control II. You fly your spaceship around the galaxy, talking to aliens, shooting at aliens, sending redshirts to explore hostile planets and giant artifacts, collecting minerals & science points to upgrade from a tiny shuttle to a giant dreadnought, piece by piece.

That sounds cool I have no memory of this. Also I just learned that I'm confusing that with Stellar Tactics which is a game that I actually don't own yet, and want to know more about. e: OH MEMORY REGAINED STARCOM NEXUS IS FROM A HUMBLE BUNDLE CHOICE AND I LIKED IT BUT NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP GOING. IT'S BASICALLY MODERN SLIMMED DOWN STAR CONTROL 2 WITH A FOCUS ON COMBAT.

explosivo posted:Yeah enhanced steam is amazing for offloading cards. Without it I'd never sell anything because it's such a goddamn pain in the rear end to do one by one. I usually stock up and get rid of everything once I get a few pages and make a few bucks off of them. Why people want these, I do not know but I'm happy to sell to them! Do you know if it's painful to install and uninstall? I'm thinking of installing it really quick. Then selling all of my cards, then uninstalling it.

strange feelings re Daisy posted:Can anyone recommend a space game with cool planet discovery lore? Escape Velocity, Stellaris, or Mass Effect would be good examples. Games where you can scan planets and find exotic or spooky stuff like remnants of old civilizations. I'm not really thinking of procedurally generated stuff, more like handwritten lore. Endless Sky is Escape Velocity, only nicely updated and on Steam, with plenty of planet lore to read. Also, it's free. FREE. I loved Escape Velocity back in the day and this game made me super happy. You can figure out if it's what you're looking for pretty quickly!

I was a 10fps gamer. That's how I played Counter-Strike 1.6 online for years. Consoles were my jam back then. Then I was able to get to 30fps with a desktop. Then 40-50. And now 60fps on a 1440p. Eventually, I want to either hit 120 on 1440p or a glorious 60 on 4k or some curved monitor disgustingness. But then I remember the office chair talk and man, I'd love a good chair. - I've been playing more Katamari Damacy then I thought I would. The soundtrack is so powerfully good. I hum it for no reason when I'm driving or just working.

So I've got a couple of funbux from selling cards and am thinking about picking up LISA: The Painful. Any opinions? Also, I've never been able to beat Hades. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't do it. I always end up losing too much health to those loving regenerating armor dudes in Elysium. Because of them, I rarely beat Theseus and the Minotaur. I'm probably choosing terrible power combos or something?

I wouldn't describe Lisa as a "fun" game, but it's certainly a memorable experience. If you like RPGs more for the world, then yeah definitely. If you want intricate character customization options, then lol no (although the different party members are actually noticeably different).

If rough subject material really gets to you, I would pass on this. The gameplay itself isn't too terribly hard aside from maybe a handful of fights, but other than that, it's pretty easy to get a hold of the mechanics.

I didn't get my first victory of Hades until I knew what combos were good and then using the keepsakes that would lead to those combos (as well as higher tier boons). For example, I think my first win was with the Hera Bow and I started my run with the Overflowing Cup keepsake to get that sweet sweet Festive Fog cast, then I switched to another keepsake after Meg to get a second god's boons for combos, then after the next boss went with the Lucky Tooth to give an extra revive. Once you can consistently clear the 3rd boss, you can probably move Lucky Tooth to be after that boss and choose the Coin Purse as your third keepsake.

As others have said it's highly memorable, but, unpopular opinion: actually playing it is like pulling teeth. And I don't mean because of the story-related gut punches it throws at you, I mean the process of moving around like a corpulent glacier, getting blindsided by hidden/random damage triggers, jumped by enemies, dying because I'm always running out of healing items, and having to revert to the last save point I hit half an hour ago for the third time, is thematically appropriate but also the fastest way to make me never want to play your game again.

It's more of a game you play while watching or listening to a show. Try getting creative with your layouts and opt for aesthetic over optimization for some of your playthroughs. I felt the same way after about 35 minutes. Xelkelvos posted:Katamari is very good and I got it when it was released on PS2 because it was suggested in an anime magazine.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:I found it, took two seconds, but I was looking for an explanation of why its poo poo. OG Gothic sets the tone in the beginning by showing the protagonist being thrown into the prison colony and immediately beaten up by one of the factions. The protagonist is not stupid, but he starts at the absolute bottom with his best weapon being a stick. They replaced that with HIGH OCTANE ACTION with FIRE EVERYWHERE and a protagonist mumbling to himself like a male porn star with severe brain damage. Mumbling constantly. To himself. With FIRE. It's apocalyptically bad.

I don't remember exactly why, but I started playing Kerbal Space Program again and I'm having a blast.  Jeb Kerman , slammed into Mun because I fast-forwarded too much and forgot that trajectory calculations aren't 100% accurate.I'm currently playing in Science mode (just gather science, no worrying about budget or reputation), are either of the expansions worth getting with that in mind?

How is the learning curve is the new Football Manager? I tried to get into earlier instances and got overwhelmed, and I don't want to bounce off again. I'm afraid that it's a game tat takes time to "click", and I'm afraid that 2 hours isn't enough to grok it.

The learning curve is just UI if you’re already really into football, and you can automate anything you’re not terribly knowledgeable about or just not interested in.

I'm afraid that it's a game tat takes time to "click", and I'm afraid that 2 hours isn't enough to grok it. It can be steep, especially if you don't know anything about football. It can also ease you in gently if you start with Touch (the simplified version of the main game) and pick a big team in a high division. It only becomes seriously hard when you're trying to make a tiny team win big. Like it would be in real life, I suppose. Here's an introductory video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNSLAXcuG-c If any of that sounds interesting to you, then jump in. You learn by doing and you'll be doing it constantly.

I watched a bit of the demo and it looks like it could be ok so long as they keep the open-world exploration aspect of the previous games. I would immediately turn off dialogue though. Don't get why the guy is constantly talking.

I played a bit of Starcom Nexus. It's top-down and you zip around space in a little ship. I haven't played Star Control II (I know) so my point of comparison was Space Rangers. At the beginning of the game you get sucked Farscape-style into an unfamiliar part of the galaxy with just an allied space station alongside you. Your ship can be built out of little modules, you can research different bits for it and then add armour and more weapons, more power generation, crew compartments, etc etc. You can scan planets and sometimes they have an event pop where you make a choice, and you might gain something, or lose something, depending, like the bits in FTL. I like it a lot.

Same with the countries under Japanese occupation. This doesn't discount the fact that when they got there some of the soldiers did some bad poo poo, and the airforce did some really really bad poo poo, but anyone looks good compared to the literal nazis.
