Conrad_Birdie posted:Sorry to interrupt all the porn talk, but I was wondering what deck building games this thread recommends. Obviously I’m on board with Slay the Spire and Monster Train, and I’m having such a good time with those (except when I have a lovely run on StS and scream “stupid game CHEATS” at the computer like I’m not a 30-year old man) that I was looking to branch out into some other ones! Thanks in advance! Sorry this got lost in the shuffle. Slay the Spire is famous because it has a difficulty curve that is right in the Goldilocks zone. It has a good initial balance, and lots of ways to make the game harder when you are ready for it. So I only have recommendations that are listed in order of "how much more difficult than Slay the Spire do I perceive these games to be." Mods can also provide some extra variety inside STS. Night of the Full Moon: A Dream Quest knockoff. Looks like a mobile game, but is a sensible streamlining of its "inspiration." Honestly a bit too easy, but this format doesn't let me put this above STS. The ascension level mechanic suffers from only drawing from a subset of the available bosses. Monster Slayer: A Dream Quest knockoff. Unfortunately the game has too much emphasis on meta-progression. Imagine if you didn't get bash or doublecast in your starting hand until you had a game or two under your belt. Frost: A card based survival game. Great integration of theme and mechanics. The heart of the game are the character unlock challenges, but they can get pretty tough. Card Quest: Technically cheating, you only get the chance to radically change your deck the first time you beat a level. Carefully balance using energy on getting better cards in hand vs. playing cards. Beat the tutorial for a character before starting a campaign for that character. Think about what your current loadout is ready to take on, and choose a route accordingly. But I love it anyway, and it is free on the Humble Trove. Dream Quest: The OG. Over-reliance on damage type immunity means the game can be very frustrating. Shout out to the druid, who relies on poison for damage in both of their forms. I swear the cards on the first level are traps to screw you up on the second level. Metaprogression moves to acceptable levels after your first 5 or so characters die horrible deaths. The final boss gives you clues on how exactly it will be nearly impossible to beat throughout the game. Mostly a historical curiosity these days, you can get most of the enjoyment by just looking up how bullshit some of the monsters get. My favourite is the Hand of Glory. It doesn't have a decent deck itself, but it makes you play your cards against yourself every other turn. Games to avoid despite similarities: Neoverse, Blood Card

Awesome! posted:that section where you are floating down the river and if you miss a qte she gets impaled was pretty hosed up Yeah, that one stuck with me, the other ones didn’t. But it’s also only 3-4 seconds, not 10-15, it doesn’t linger longer than the other ones.

Endorph posted:The Tomb Raider reboot animations are death. way more overdone than the RE4 animations. Like Leon gets killed pretty brutally but its fairly quick. Lara gets her throat impaled by a rusty metal pole and theres a good 10-15 seconds of her struggling to pull it out and choking and poo poo. It lingers in the moment too much.

Endorph posted:
I would disagree with that. The early game is really over the top with the QTE death segments and I hated it, but the bad guys become positively terrified of Lara around the midway point. Their reaction to her getting a machine gun in 2016 was one of the high points of the new trilogy.

I just randomly installed Coin Crypt (from 2013) today and it's an interesting predecessor to the current wave of deck building games.Volte posted:Some of the animations were kind of extreme but they were like 1 to 3 seconds at most, not even close to 15 seconds. Whereas the Dead Space death animations intentionally lasted long (starts at 8:49, obviously has gore). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ3iqq49Ew8&t=529s Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Aug 5, 2020 |

Tomb Raider 2016 is in a weird place because literally all anybody ever talks about or seemingly remembers about it is the over-the-top death animations and how wildly uncomfortable they made them feel playing the game. Hell that kind of ultrarealistic violence is wildly out-of-place in the franchise as a whole and certainly not touched upon by their main competition, the Uncharted series. (The Last of Us sure, but not Uncharted.) So I wonder who's bright idea was it to go in that direction.

TR2013's ultraviolent cold open is really only for the first couple hours of the game, at which point it becomes a much more traditional action adventure.

I should really revisit that and see how it ended up landing. That game went through multiple "oh gently caress me, relearn the ENTIRE THING?" rebalances via patches and I just threw it out.

I have never beaten TR2013, now that I think about it. I’ve gotten to the end on multiple computers and there’s always a room right before the very end that fails to load properly and I can’t progress. Verifying the install has done nothing any time it’s happened, and it’s obviously not the install since it’s happened on five different computers over the years on 2-3 save files.

the main thing i remember about tomb raider reboot, more than the death animations, is how weird and racist its use of shintoism was like yeah the sacrificial cults to amaterasu. that thing that existed.

Compared to a video earlier of the DE guy talking about the development of game systems, this is hilarious. This guy just trying to turn their gratuitous death scene poo poo into a feature, all proud of his notebook featuring new core section cuts to be implemented, like what the hell dude. Who is the dipshit watching their own deathscenes? Load my fucknig game back up, stop bothering me with this.

Thanks to whoever mentioned that Undermine is coming to gamepass tomorrow. I thought it looked decidedly meh but there's overwhelmingly positive reviews and my friend mentioned it a bunch so I bought it before the price hiked after launch. I refunded it this morning because it seems like it could be a good gamepass title to play for a few hours before moving onto something else.

Is there a thread discussing Wasteland 3 anywhere? I think it's supposed to come out in couple weeks. I feel like the goon consensus nowadays is that Wasteland 2 was terrible, but I had a lot of fun playing through it on release.

The Last of Us 2 has some nasty stuff. There's a boss that whenever it gets his hands on you will just instakill you by snapping your neck complete with bloodcurdling scream from the player character, and especially on Hard, you'll be seeing that poo poo way too many times.
