Been messing around with 40k Inquisitor and it's not bad. The game is an 'ARPG' that gets a lot of inspiration from Dawn of War 2. Weapons have combat skills attached to them, armor changes special abilities and there's even a cover system (that feels irrelevant). You're on a space carrier doing Inquisitorial missions across the Imperium. And the story is surprisingly engaging - reminds me a bit of Chaos Rising. Definitely worth picking up if you wanted a pseudo-sequel to Dawn of War 2.

I picked up a whole mess of wishlisted stuff this sale, but I've ended up putting a surprising amount of my actual play time into Superflight so far. It's on sale for like 59¢ and it's really fun. You fly through procedural mountain ranges in a wingsuit to run up as high of a score as possible. A scoreless Zen mode is also available. It's super simple and can be played in 5 minute bursts easily. I just got it to bump a purchase over a $10 multiple, but I can see it becoming a favorite coffee break game. One neat thing, each level is from a seed. So you can save any levels you like or put in your name or whatever funny text you want to see what kind of level it spits out.

If you like it, also look at Fugl for similar but different zen flying stuff. I came in here to post: Godless Tactics is the 5$ Fire Emblem/Mount and Blade fusion indie game I never knew I wanted. Gonna play more of it tomorrow but so far it's super slick despite looking extremely indie, and I love how much optional lore is in it.

I almost didn't get Superflight because I thought, "I already have Fugl. Why do I need another cheapo flying game?" Turns out they fill very different niches though. Very happy with the purchase.

DoctorOfLawls posted:I tried playing Outer Wilds but felt strong motion sickness - I have an ultra wide 21:9 monitor so FOV might have something to do with it. Has anyone else experienced the same? I didn't have a problem but yeah try changing your FOV or using it in a windowed-mode. Also check VSync/refresh rate and maybe cap it. I think the only games that weirdly gave me motion sickness was some sourcey games like Talos Principle. I managed to get Talos Principle playable using third-person view and some vsycn/fov changes. There was anotehr one like that as well but I forgot which one I had problems with.

Resident Evil 7 made me the most motion sick because its always so dark and you're focusing in the dead center of the screen where your light is shining. This weird tunnel vision in addition to swinging the camera around results in me feeling woozy. Only game to do that too. RE7 is a great game but I have two complaints. 1) Its too dark (I get its a horror game, but it becomes more frustrating and less scary the darker things are).You can increase the game brightness to fix most of it, but then it looks a little washed out in some areas and becomes less scary. 2) There's a few really annoying common enemies that jerk their heads right before you're about to land a headshot. Makes fighting them ranged tedious.

DoW 1: Dark Crusade has a pretty good TW-mode, where you fight the other six factions to take over the map. The skirmish missions are repetitive but fun enough; the Stronghold missions where you invade a faction's home base are phenomenal. Soulstorm is kind of janky, but it has a nine-faction version of the same thing which people say is Fine. DoW 2 has a good, way-too-long XCOM-esque campaign where you control a small force of SMs (like 10 dudes at most). It's a lot of fun, well-written, and you can spec your dudes to be pretty broken. You can also play it as a co-op, with each of you microing two squads. The Chaos Rising expansion is a scripted version of the same thing with a set list of missions, where your characters from the main game carry over. There was another expansion where you can play the campaign as any of the factions (although the campaign itself is like 75% the same regardless of who you play as), it wasn't as good, but if love orks or the Guard it's a decent time. I stopped paying attention to DoW 3 after they first showed the gameplay, and everything since then has convinced me this was the right move.

Does anybody here own GTAIV Complete Edition and would they be interested in making $5? If you don't know, I'm legally blind with one sorta functional eye. A lot of simpler things are pretty challenging for me - I'm sure most players can look at both the radar and the screen at the same time for example but I can't. I've managed this far though but what is really killing me is the drive-by mechanic in this game. Precisely aiming a small circle at a fast-moving target while avoiding obstacles is no bueno. I'm so stuck on this Search and Delete mission and I just don't think it's happening. Maybe with dumb luck and trying a few hundred more times I could win but I'd sooner just ask for help if it's possible. Can I just transfer my saves to somebody and they could do it? As I said, don't mind compensating for time and effort.

I noticed Need for Speed is on a pretty deep sale today. I remember playing Hot Pursuit and loving it when I was a generic teenager age. Which of the modern Need for Speed games are good and worth playing, if any? edit: I also really liked the 2012 Most Wanted which was a shameless Burnout Paradise clone so if any of the newer ones are like that I'm down for them.

Man, Monster Train is so loving good. I just won a game using the Melting Remnant for the first time which might now be my favorite of all of them. Each deck is fun and unique but also meshes well with almost any other deck, but there's also a huge amount of variety even within those decks depending on what you upgrade and focus on. There's just so many possibilities for cool broken poo poo to stumble on that I am having a hard time putting this game down to get some sleep.

Picked up another cool very small game called Dépanneur Nocturne. It's on sale now for $4.49USD. The whole game is a brief late night shopping trip to a convenience store to buy your girlfriend a gift. It isn't stated anywhere that you're male or female, so it's up to you to decide that. You get to putter around the store and browse. You can pet a cat. There are other interesting things to do and see too, but best not go into that here. When I say it's short, I mean it's very short. You could probably do a run in a minute or two if you didn't really want to engage with the game. I haven't done everything in my one playthrough, but I'm sure you could exhaust the content in under an hour if you rushed...But don't do that. It's pretty polished and has a great sense of place. There's no action to speak of, so don't come anywhere near this if you want anything resembling a traditional game. It's more like a walking simulator and low-key adventure game mashup with FPS controls. I got it on a lark, having read nothing about it. I'm glad I rolled the dice. If you're game for something quick, sweet and different, you might keep it in mind.

Roger dodger, I figured as much judging by the reviews I saw of the new series. I'll check it out, thanks. Heat's reviews generally complain of supercops that will stop at nothing to destroy your car because they hate you so I already know I'm gonna love it.

There's quite a bit of content in Satisfactory that should keep you busy for dozens of hours at this point. It's much closer to being a finished game right now than Shipbreaker is. That said there are still two or three tech levels that haven't been added yet so there will be a ceiling, but it won't come for a while and there's a lot to do on the way there.

It doesn't usually take more than one or two work days. They just cover their bases by telling you the longest possible period that it's likely to ever take.

Orv posted:It takes a day, almost exactly to the hour and the "You've done too many" thing is scare tactics bullshit that they don't actually enforce. I'll report back if it takes longer - but yeah, thanks. I know the "you've done too many" is scare tactics but they usually only hit me with that when I've done like 5+ in a month, not TWO. Well, two and one gift train purchase refunded because the person owned Tyranny elsewhere already. But still. Silly computer.  On that note, part of why I like the steam gift train is because when someone gets me something it takes away the urge to refund it. The urge to refund is usually irrational, along the lines of "this game hasn't given me the stars and moon on a platter therefore I should get my money back" which makes no SENSE some games are slow starters and other games just need to be good, not perfect. I tend to only seriously refund if there's a technical problem, and so far I haven't had any from gift train gifts. Also there was one that one edge case where I refunded the Zero Escape Trilogy because I opened it, played like five minutes, and realized that I wanted to close out that story on a 3DS, as god intended. Feels better to finish a trilogy on the same platform you started it on.

That's part of why I'm not naming their titles because I don't want to scare people off of buying them when I don't know if the technical issue is for me only or not.
