Orv posted:Magicka and Noita are really kind of the two ones I can think of. Noita might not really qualify because it's entirely possible to have many, many runs as a roguelike where you don't get to turn entire screens into blood soup but it comes together often enough that I'd recommend it for this request. there are not really that many good wizard games, and all great I can think of are also 2D and older, nothing in the 3D FPS/TPS verse. Magicka is great when getting used to the slight inconvenient casting. There is also Witch It but it has an entirely different charm to it as FPS/TPS magic casting. There was an interesting Wizard game released 2019 but I forgot which one it was. It was more in the way of Magicka as well with more strategy things added. Something about towers... I don't remember. Lichdom was the only one to my knowledge that attempted to do something like Dark Messiah but they just butchered the idea into a sloggy mess.

Only thing I know that possibly fits this criteria is Deep Rock Galactic, in that it's not eurojank, it's indie, there are dwarves and there is full terrain destruction, but the magic is replaced with loving sweet guns YOURE A GOOD M.U.L.E MOLLYYYYYYY

StrixNebulosa posted:Superhot: well hot drat, I never got into the first one as despite it being slow I had trouble getting into its fight rhythm, but this one? Mind Control Delete is GOOD. I feel powerful and I'm having fun and already the poor superhot system is all "please stop playing this is pointless" and lol welcome to humanity give me more I've had the exact opposite experience. The original grabbed me with tight, brutal level design and when it ended I had the same complaint as everyone else: "Wait, that's it?" So along comes MCD with the air of a massive smug shitpost about the criticism of the first game being too short by showing you a credits roll 5 minutes in, telling you to your face there's no point to continuing, and then throwing you into a massive web of nodes through which the only point is gradually grinding out new ability unlocks by playing the same... maybe 20 or so levels with randomized spawns (some of which I swear spawn directly from your blind spot rather than any actual doorway) over and over and over again. Granted some of the unlocks are ridiculous and fun as hell to use, and this was free, but it still feels like a joke that didn't quite hit its mark. a cat irl posted:Mgs3 is still GOAT tho Except for that loving escort section, and having to manually switch camouflage patterns every couple minutes. Never once had the urge to replay it. I do remember it being about the only MGS where the story is both good and insane without needing a 20-page footnote attached. E: vv I feel like "obviously a white dude doing a horrible Asian accent" is hard to extricate as part of Lo Wang's entire character, but they get away with it in current year because he's otherwise a smack-talking badass? I am a little surprised nobody seems to have noisily crawled up the studio's rear end about it yet though. MonkeyforaHead fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Jul 20, 2020 |

You're not really supposed to keep changing the camo in the same area, just pick one and then instead jump from each point that gives you the most bonus. Peace Walker sorta fixed that by forcing you to stick with one for the entire mission.

srulz posted:Iratus talk: Has anyone bought the Supporter Pack of this game yet? How is the additional minion "Infested"? Worth the price? super squishy, but by far the best stress finisher with it's multi-hit attack. i haven't used the infested much yet, because i only bought the supporter pack when i was near the end of a good always wins playthrough and wasn't really able to fit it into any of my existing comps. on the topic of Iratus: for anyone playing the game who doesn't know the super powerful strat when you retreat from a non-boss fight battle, the current state of enemy health and stress bars, and block/ward are retained. so you can hit & run to great effect.

Samuringa posted:The most disappointing thing about Lichdom to me is that it could've very easily been a better game. There are a few challenge arenas in the game that are fantastic, a large number of enemies, fast-paced, you have to go absolutely nuts with your already op powers to make it through, its just a blast. It shows that they knew how to make a good encounter, instead of the plodding mess that is the other 99% of the game. I'd forgotten Lichdom existed. I was happier in the forgetting, that game should have been so good  Ragequit posted:This might be your jam when it releases? It sure has my attention now!! I usually don't take to competitive multiplayer for very long, though, so we'll see (Magicka I already played and enjoyed way back. Never got the second one, though - without a co-op partner it wouldn't be as fun anyway)

Can anyone help me import my Steam games? I used Steam Mover to put them onto a different disk while Ijust did a windows reinstall, and \i can't work out how to make them available in Steam again.

Any Company of Heroes 2 players around? Can you explain how satchel charges work and the point of molotovs? I select to use the satchel charge on enemies soldiers but it doesn't seem to do anything. Does it only work on buildings? As for molotovs, it takes about 10 minutes to throw one and the damage it does seem to be nonexistent? An enemy squad can stand in the fire and nothing seems to happen. Meanwhile they throw a grenade and you have .5 seconds to move your squad or else it just dies. Seems like the Soviets are positioned as having the shittiest imaginable unit abilities with conscripts being really bad but somehow they still cost a lot. The Shock Troop commander seems to be required if you want them at all to be useful.

That being said, the gameplay looks great - they've got Titanfall 2-style wallrunning (I really hope it's not just limited to specific platforms) and Bioshock Infinite mid-fight grapple points, both things that can really liven up an arena shooter. It seems ninja magic is back too.

Jimbot posted:Any Company of Heroes 2 players around? It's been years since I played COH2, and I only played PVP, but satchels just take a long time to explode, unless they've changed the mechanics. Some units (engineers I think) can also place demo charges that have to be detonated manually by clicking the plunger icon that shows up where it was placed so they might have made satchels work like that. Molotovs...aren't great, they're mostly for burning troops garrisoned in buildings, or forcing an MG to retreat. They do damage over time and if your opponent isn't paying attention they can burn clustered units to a crisp, eventually. Mordja fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Jul 21, 2020 |

Jimbot posted:Any Company of Heroes 2 players around? TBH, I played way more of the better and gooder CoH OG so hopefully im not mixing them up but, Satchel charges work on buildings and any static weapons. Basically if the Germans have an unattended MG camped out in a house locking an area down you can satchel it destroying the house for the future and taking out the squad in it if unattended. Works better if you can do something active elsewhere on the map requiring attention as well at the same time. A more niche use is if say you catch an AT gun with a lone squad need the enemy not to have it but cant capture it due to a superior infantry force advancing you can deny it. Moltovs simply force infantry out of cover/statics, get MGs to packup. Expensive for what you are getting. Its best to avoid using either early if it can be helped. Instead CAP and fight somewhere else, having an extra man in the squad is more forgiving of mistakes an aggressive early game looking to bleed the enemy of manpower. Vet PPsH conscripts are pretty fierce. dogsupremacy fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Jul 21, 2020 |

It's started out of a remake of the original 90s game which was that. but Jason Liebrecht does an absolute shitton of film/anime and japanese voice acting work. although a lot of the jokes don't always land, it never comes off as mean spirited haha squinty!!! or stereotypical racist poo poo at all. it's mostly dick jokes and stuff. if there's any problems, it's that a lot of the jokes aren't good, but not because it's a white guy doing the voice acting work.

MGSV Phantom Pain: I understand the hospital sequence is completely unlike the rest of the game, and... I'm kinda bummed! That was a really well done cinematic horror sequence that conveyed a sense of powerlessness unlike anything I've ever played before. You can barely walk or do anything, and the military VS the SCP plays out around you as you struggle to escape, and it ends in fire whale cowboy rescue shotgun adventure, which is something I'm glad I experienced it!

The last thing I remember was solving his puzzle out of order and he got butthurt at me for ruining the game and then just vanished?
