Aphex- posted:Is Remnant good as a single player game? it can be enjoyable but solo is twice as hard as multiplayer and it feels very clearly designed as a coop game, as all bosses have adds which work much better when you have two players to communicate and split them up and you have a chance to revive each other, unlike solo where you not only have to deal with 100% of the heat being focused on you (forcing you to spend more time dodging and less time shooting) but you’re also done if you go down once. I think the game could have provided 1 auto revive when solo to smooth out how much more pressure there is compared to multiplayer. Multiplayer also means more time spent killing monsters and less time spent on boring exploration for resources, since anything your coop partner picks up gets teleported into your pockets too.

You should probably post about it on the Steam forums in the bug section. The dev might not respond immediately, but they are reading everything.

So what happened with La Mulana 2? I feel like people on these forums revered the first game, hyped themselves up for the sequel and then it came out and I don't think I've heard anyone say much about it since then. Was it just a disappointing followup or more of a case of metroidvania fatigue? I do know when the original came out there weren't a lot of other games in the genre to choose from, especially on PC.

I wouldn't mind having it set on steam, but i'd rather not redownload this massive game From what I recall, you download the launcher from Steam, open it but don't sign in, then close it. Then you copy the previous install's files over to the Steam folder.

Maybe I've just had bad experiences with coop, but being able to take the game at your own pace, not worry about over or under levelling relative to people. That being said, I did end up running a very fun pet / summon build so it almost was like I was playing coop in that dealing with adds / aggro ended up being very fun and fluid with my damage spread out across my minions. Remnant is very fun, a lot more than I expected at first blush.

I don't sit down and play it for hours at a time but if I boot it up I always have a good time. The shooting is basic in a way I really like, it feels very... clean, I guess is the word I would use. Everything from where your shots will go, to your fire rate, to your damage falloff at range is super predictable and it makes things very fast and intuitive.

The core moment to moment gameplay experience is solid. Satisfying gun feel. Good sounds. Mechanically well put together. Diablo-esque loot games generally put me off. I feel like a lot of them suffer in the gameplay department trying to hook you on to their loot treadmills, but remnant is just so solid start to finish.

That’s probably because remnant is not a diablo-esque loot game in just about any way besides the levels having some random generation elements

When the thread was active people were definitely pointing out some flaws, mainly about how the mid to end game progresses. I think I agreed at the time but ultimately the game is still amazing and has some advantages over LM1 like much smoother onboarding in the early game and a bunch of qol stuff.

Moose Life, the new game from Jeff Minter/Llamasoft (who did Space Giraffe, Polybius, Tempest 2000, etc), is out. $6.99 price tag. It is what you expect from a Jeff Minter joint: quote:You play as a rainbow voxel deer battling to rescue tiny sheep from enemy spaceships, but that doesn't really matter. What you're here for is the feeling of zooming into the screen like some cervine Space Harrier, grooving to some tasty bleeps as you shred enemies into lovely colourful bits with a variety of enjoyably destructive powerups. Glowing stags will stream past your ears as you deploy the mighty "Stag Party" weapon that turns entire screensful of enemies into harmless, grateful deer. You'll smile. You might exclaim when a particularly lovely explosion blossoms nearby, or when the trip starts to kick in as you traverse the mushroom-strewn planes. You will feel *lovely*. Also has VR support.

It's a bit more Dead Island than State of Decay in terms of gameplay, but by way of a huge open map with Mirror's Edge style parkour travel. It's very much worth worth 13.50 and then some.

The parkour is worth it even if you hate the combat imo $13.50 is a good price. Edit:The enhanced edition is $18.00, the Following and the extra doodads are worth the $5 Hub Cat fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Aug 13, 2020 |

Party Boat posted:Demoncrawl experts: can someone explain to me what's going on with the highlighted 4 here: The cell is Sanctified now, probably because you used Bones or something similar. When it went from normal to sanctified you got that amount of health back, and in 99% of cases, that's it. On some stages this is a cause for concern because one mod makes the stage into a giant open-air market of Sanctified cells and however many are empty at the end, you take 1 damage per (to "charge" you). edit: oh, you highlighted it. Yeah, that's just fake, sometimes poo poo lies but it'll name it in a stage mod/maybe you have an Omen doing it. It will never lie without SOME warning.

The movement mechanics alone make it more entertaining than any of the other titles you mentioned, because traversing the huge maps gets fast and dynamic as you unlock more skills. The day-night cycle is also a good addition and helps ensure that things stay challenging enough all the way through. Story is decent enough and offers plenty of side quests, with tragedy, comedy and everything in between. Co-op is fun and works great, though keep in mind that quest progress is tied to the host.

When I was a kid I would play Twisted Metal and my hands would start to hurt because I was gripping the controller so tightly, due to how extremely rad Twisted Metal is. Man I'd like to see a spiritual sequel to Twisted Metal Black. even just a PC re-release with online multiplayer would be enough.

It's on sale again so it's time for me to enthuse about Lego DC Supervillains again. It's the same old Lego gameplay, light puzzling and combat, nothing too strenuous. But it's absolutely charming. Its open world, which you get access to very quickly, consists of Gotham (dark, rainy, ominous), Metropolis (bright, sunny, crowded) and Smallville (chickens, farmers). Every DC character imaginable is in here somewhere, either playable or just kicking around. The speedsters run *so fast*, I have no idea why you'd use a car, but if you want to, you can. The voice acting is delightful and the story is ridiculous. I can't praise it enough. Oh, and you get to make your own character to be the main character of the story. I made the BLU Medic.

It's a really, really great game, definitely a worthy successor, and with a lot of QoL improvements as well. You could argue forever which game is better, but ultimately, they're close enough in quality that you definitely have to play both if you have any interest whatsoever in one of them Also, Ancient Chaos has the best music

Remnant is a fine Shooter Souls thing but the level scaling is dumb as hell and the devs were still being very very stubborn about it last I knew. Read the beforeiplay page for it.

Jamfrost posted:Oooooooo. E: Big fan of not needing to mod a game if it's too hard. Stuff worth noting: I never especially found storage expansions to be necessary, as long as you don't hoard things for no reason, but let's assume for the sake of argument that you need them. You're not 'supposed' to buy Star Gems with cash, you earn them while playing for various things. There's no single source that's good, but for not spending a real-life dime, you want: -Casino rewards -login bonuses -buying fancy outfits on the market that haven't been worn, and then wearing them (this is the easiest to do regularly, but it DOES assume you're playing regularly enough to know how to get a lot of money ; items that give SG were about 150,000 on the market last I checked.) You can also get Star Gems from the Mission Pass, but the mission pass costs star gems, so it's more like a rebate, and story quests give you them as well, but that's obviously not sustainable. But buying the Materials Storage is a mug's game anyways. If one plans to spend money at all, one wants to get a premium sub, which comes with a 400-item Premium Storage as well as a bunch of other things, and is cheaper than spending seventeen bucks on the Materials Storage.
