Could someone give Hellpoint a kneejek rating on a scale of Lords of the Fallen to Surge 2? It looks snazzy as heck, but I got Ashen during the summer sale and it's got me kinda paranoid about souls clones.

Fun, some good ideas but pretty jank in places and it's gonna be wildly divisive even among big time Souls people.

Speaking of Invisible Inc I finally got back to it after letting it sleep in my backlog. How do I restart levels? I was on beginner so I should have that option enabled. I can’t find the option though. Cool game, though I hosed up my second mission because I too long finding the locker (and I did not realize I needed a security card from the guards). Ended up aborting the mission with one agent escaping. Will just restart altogether

I'm tempted to get the new Startopia, but the sad passing of the narrator means the new one wont have the same charm from that angle.  Also the classic version still runs fine...

I have Hitman 1 and Hitman 2. As I understand, Hitman 2 knows I have Hitman 1 and I don't actually need to install Hitman 1 to play Hitman 1's levels in Hitman 2's engine. My question though, is... I want to play through Hitman 1's story before going on to 2. Can I do that? Or is it only the levels that I can play, like some scenario selector or... ?

The story is baked into playing the levels, so doing them in the Hitman 2 engine just gets you the various new mechanics, you still get all the VO and everything like that. Miiiiight be missing the bookend cutscenes from 1?

Yep do it in 2, it's the same campaign as HM1 except with the HM2 gameplay improvements

If you own both games on Steam it will start downloading the Hitman 1 content after you've booted up Hitman 2 once. If you manage your DLC in Steam you'll notice at least 7 pieces of "Legacy" content will be enabled. The game has two options: Campaign/Story and Destinations. The former is just the main levels and cutscenes. The latter lists every piece of content for a level. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Aug 1, 2020 |

Oh, followup; will it detect that I own the game? I've never installed it, and don't have a profile set up for it or anything.

Which one of the Yakuza games is the skippable one, if I've played 0? Kiwami?

That's the recommendation I've got, so I'm saving it for if I just want to be a completionist. Good game and so on, they tell me, but shows its age.

Well, it took me 25 hours but I finally got enough tools and orcs together to take the first fortress in Shadow of War. I'm looking forward to not returning to this region to deal with the level 81 glutton that I've already killed like five times.

Radiation Cow posted:Which one of the Yakuza games is the skippable one, if I've played 0? Kiwami? Yep, Kiwami is the one that's kinda bad. Make sure you watch the cutscenes though, it's a remake of the first game in the series so there's a lot of important stuff there. Kiwami 2 is fantastic, almost as good as 0.

I would still recommend playing through Kiwami to experience the story - the main quest is half the length of 0 and if you skip the minigames and other side content you'll be done in no time. Then you can immerse yourself in Kiwami 2 guilt free.

At least in Yak0 some side quests were either boring or pissed me off (the magazine stealth - the payoff was good but god drat I wish developers would stop injecting stealth into games not designed around it) Anyway play the games any way you drat well please, is my point

Morter posted:Alright folks, help me out: I love gunny games and naturally, more recent 'rogue-lites' such as Nuclear Throne, Enter the Gungeon, and Synthetik, have come out and secured their niches quite well. TBH this just reads like a need for persistence/patience/practice One thing that helped me with EtG in particular, as it did before with Sekiro, is literally sleeping on it - play 'til I get stuck, then quit before I get mad and come back the next day. Muscle memory - "instinct" - is truly built up while you're asleep the night after and not busy with the whole "being conscious thing" The other, oddly, was playing a different game  Take a look at Monolith. It has enough surface level similarity to EtG that skills are easily transferable. The advantage is that the rooms are smaller and runs typically deadlier - meaning shorter. Faster to practice basic awareness and movement

Also, Monolith loving rules, so, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ8ocPpgBcQ (edit) I forgot, it had new DLC recently! It's good too (tho some of the extra content is BRUTAL) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKvLgZto66U Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 13:49 on Aug 1, 2020 |

It looks snazzy as heck, but I got Ashen during the summer sale and it's got me kinda paranoid about souls clones. It's pretty good so far. Maybe like 60-70% of what dark souls is. I played about 8 hours then I deleted my save by accident by doing some dumb poo poo. I have heard the heavy strength weapons are not worth it, though I'd say if you like those games get it. I like the deck 13 games and I like Hellpoint. It's also weird as hell in the art direction and story. Think EYE meets dark souls.

Play Kiwami and do the things you enjoy, and try most things at least once.

Hey steam thread, i built my computer but am not particularly tech savy. Thinking about getting an external ssd to deal with ballooning install sizes. This shouldn't be a terrible idea, right? I'm just vaguely concerned about whether an external connection will effect performance

It's mostly the price if you want a really hefty one, they can still be kinda up there versus internals though I think even that has started to normalize.

I have 2 external NVMe 1TB drives and haven’t had a problem with them at all. It’s nice because I have a desktop I use at home and a laptop I travel with and bring to my ambulance shifts, so only having to download something once for both computers kicks rear end. Between the drives and the enclosures I spent a total of like 250 to get both.
