I picked up Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun on a whim last weekend and holy drat I'm having so much fun with it. Has anyone here played Desperados 3 yet? How does it compare?

First round of discussion - a pile on of "I'm not comfortable playing a game about Russian resistance fighters, they were just as bad as the Nazis". Second round of discussion - someone brings up the Americans. Cue "how dare you both sides this!"

Yea I was looking at what else the devs did and that's how I found it  I just wasn't sure how much "more of the same" it is, or if the Cowboy themes made it significantly different.

Xander77 posted:Jeeeeeeeeesus. To be fair, the Soviets did do a few genocides before, during and after the war, so I can understand discomfort in that respect. Similarly, the Americans (the Western Allies in general) did some bad poo poo to a lot of different people in a lot of different places, and especially if you're from an area or demographic directly affected, of course you're probably going to be a bit more iffy. Maybe it's best to shelve the whole warcrimes topic since it's probably not going to go anywhere?

I had the same opinion when they were talking about the Russians.

Okay it's definitely "Slay the Spire but for a younger demographic" but oh my god it's so cuuuuuuuuuute Steamworld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech is half rpg, half card battler and it's pretty simplified but everything is gorgeous and the writing is charming and it's perfect for a morning where I'm still a bit sick but not enough to keep me from playing something fun.

One thing to keep in mind is the characters are kind of a mix of the shadow tactics crew with some new abilities. The first character is similar to the ninja except now he has two guns, the character similar to the samurai now has the trap and whistle ability as some examples.

I've been putting some time into the 2-button rhythm game Muse Dash and if you like or at least don't mind your relatively casual rhythm games with a heavy anime layer (specifically Chinese flavor in this case), I've found it a great way to zone out and forget about the world for a bit. It's only 10% off but the base game is dirt cheap and has quite a lot of content for the price, and while the more expensive DLC adds roughly infinity songs and access to everything they release you can definitely get your 3€'s worth even if you never go for it.

The Ezio trilogy is fantastic, and all this talk about AC is making me want to give Odyssey a try because I keep hearing fantastic things about it, but I recently tried to get back into Syndicate (was free on Epic) and just bounced off after a couple hours. :<

Ezio was awesome, brotherhood was my fav game, but the funniest moment of that ebtire series for me was when Main Story ezio had a whole friggin soliloqy about how killing wasn't the solution to every problem, followed by Side Quest ezio walking up to a random crying woman and immediately offering to kill whoever was bothering her.

Ask yourself how much you liked the gameplay of Witcher 3 and if that would be enough for you to want to play it again, but with a Greek Assassin's Creed flavour to it. That should tell you what to think about the idea.

I'm just so tired of Open World games  At least I can just get on my horse and press a button to have it automatically take me to my destination.Game doesn't seem bad, but I've played so much Far Cry, The Witcher, Fallout etc. the last few years that I'm just starting to find the core concept of "Waste your time running around this giant loving map" to be extremely tedious. I also failed to get into Horizon Zero Dawn and Breath of the Wild too for similar reasons (but also I just don't actually enjoy gaming on consoles I think). I'm just starting to feel like if you've played one moderately well polished open world Action / Adventure game you've pretty much played them all.

I fuckin love Open World games. I like the idea of exploring and stumbling on things at my own pace, even if that usually ends up with me ignoring 90% of the actual main game. I just like pokin around

Open world games are cool, but I do also have a bit of fatigue for them at the moment. There have been just so many good ones recently... well, a lot of good ones and even more bad ones.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Subnautica and Rain World are my favorite explorey games, I didn't really get the same sense of exploration from like Witcher 3 or nuAssassin's Creed or Far Cries. Yeah, I should try out Outer Wilds, I guess.

That game's been on my radar for a while now but my gosh darn backlog just won't let up.

Edmond Dantes posted:DAMMIT KRAGGER! I'm hoping you get a chance to try it out. I love the game, so wanted to be sure you get a try. If you don't like it, that's fine - let the thread know either way if/when you get a chance to play it. I didn't get you the season pass, as the game is yuuuuuuuge, so you'll have tons of content already. If you like it, grab the DLC in the winter sale (or put it on your wishlist  )On another note in general to the thread, I've been enjoying Space Robinson (40% off). If any of you like harder roguelikes, it might be worth a try. I'm finding it a bit challenging, but I'm pretty bad at games, and this one is listed as "hardcore". It doesn't really add a whole lot to the genre, but it's fun. Sort of reminds me of Deathstate gameplay-wise, except you manually control the shooting like traditional roguelikes. https://store.steampowered.com/app/953870/Space_Robinson_Hardcore_Roguelike_Action/

Oh, I'm installing it as I type this (actually I'm trying to clear up some space on my HD, good lord games have gotten big lately). I'll try to get a trip report in before the sale is over. Thanks a lot again; can't promise I'll make an LP of it like I did with Inside though.
