That can't be true, I just tested and was able to buy a goose game sticker and it's showing me stuff for Control, Dota2, games I've never played or even owned.

It's giving me stuff for at least one product that I have played for eight minutes total, so the minimum playtime thing is either wrong or depends on what the publisher set up for that title.

However the point shop was the last nail in the coffin for having fun with the marketplace and making Steambux off some lucky rolls.

pentyne posted:I've seen the technical problems mentioned 2x now, but it ran pretty smooth for me. Might be a specific card/driver issue. The only problems I noticed were with the large boss creatures getting some clipping issues. I’m wondering if it’s SSD vs Platter Drive when it comes to the performance issues. I noticed it had weirdly heavy drive usage sometimes.

Is this Star Wars Squadrons game going to be available on their EA Play thing? Seems like paying $5 to try the game for a month is a real good deal if so.

So, regarding Hades, I played for a bit, got to the first boss and died and dropped the game due to it being the most meh thing I've played in a good while. Does it get seriously more interesting after that point or is it probably just not the game for me?

You get other weapons that change the combat a little bit but not a ton so if the basic loop of Do Fights. Get Power Ups That Maybe Do A Debuff, Buy A Rug For The Hub didn't grab you I'm not sure they'd make a huge difference

Does it get seriously more interesting after that point or is it probably just not the game for me? it's probably going to be 100 runs before you're anywhere close to maybe possibly exhausting content, if you're talking about writing and the rest of the pre-game show (character interactions, decorating the House, roguelite metaprog crap, etc) In gameplay terms that was one of four zones (well, three and 1/2, kinda?) in a single run. If that was your first run it wouldn't have bothered setting up a lot of mechanics yet - hammers, chaos gates, most gods - so I'd say you missed a lot of "interesting" stuff there But if the combat fundamentally bores you then, well, it's not for you

It's the absurd amount of non-repeated, unique dialogue that got my attention. But yeah if the core gameplay loop doesn't grab you then it's not the game for you.

Thanks for the replies, all. I'd died a couple times before that and unlocked some additional weapons and tried them out. Hated using the bow with a gamepad, the other - a big sword maybe? - didn't feel especially fun either. The whole series of tiny rooms with no real connection to each other and an arbitrary number of respawning enemies just didn't grab me. Maybe if the rooms get bigger and more interesting later it could be worth giving another shot at some point. Otherwise I'll probably just leave it.

There are so many unique triggers that change what they say depending on previously selected boons that run, how far you progressed in your previous run, amongst other things.

Here's a weird one maybe, any games with interesting observer or simulation modes? I am at home involved in increasingly long and boring meetings so sometimes I like to set something to running and see where it's at by the time I've gotten back. So far AoE2 Definitive has been my go-to

StrixNebulosa posted:Rimworld is a classic, as is Distant Worlds Universe. I was about to say, I like just queuing up a few projects in RimWorld and letting it run in the background while I fold laundry or something, it's really relaxing watching people milling about and vibing to the music. It takes a little while to get your colony to a point where it's set-it-and-forget-it though. The PERFECT game for this, however, is probably Crusader Kings III. It lets you just start a game as an observer and watch the world and its rulers and borders change over time. If at any point you feel like jumping in, you can select any one of the hundreds of leaders on the map and start playing as them from that point in time.

I think the gameplay is rear end, I played it a bunch because I like Supergiant's art and worldbuilding, but the gameplay never became fun. I do have a burning hatred for 2d games that revolve around iframe dodging though.

 just finished Mafia Remake. It's very good. I don't like all the changes they did, the original had a much better sense of time and the actual impact of what you did within the story, but the changes they made are good in their own way. Even if I found the the original character better suited, the presentation of the struggle of each one of them is very well done in the remake, maybe better as in the original. Especially Paulie and Sam are better represented, making their choices more believable. I really like the character capture and shading, it's much better as in Mafia 3. Facial expressions are very well done, which is essential given the focus on a more ore less emotional storyline. It also has less technical hicups as M3 but their engine is still not that great, got a lot of AA ghosting going on and you can't have detail very far away. But FPS were good, and the general scenery looked pretty.

I am the biggest shill for Hades on this planet, but honestly it sounds like the game is really not up your ally. Hopefully you can get your refund and buy the game you want.

So far AoE2 Definitive has been my go-to Can you expound on how AoE2 does this? I played AoE2 way back when and have since fallen out with RTSs so I never picked it back up...but I'm in a similar situation where I crave a game that I can watch without significant input, besides an idler/clicker game. Not exactly the best answer but I love how much non-campaign maps in Infested Planet allowed you to often reach a sort of standstill where you could turtle endlessly with defenses of turrets, emplacements and easily healed troops, until you were ready to advance with an attack plan on the next hive. Sometimes, especially when buzzed, I would just put on Terran music from Starcraft 1 and just watch the endless swarms of bugs get destroyed by an endless barrage of bullets. (Later/harder 'mutations' of hives would occasionally spawn specialist waves that necessitate direct attention, so it's not perfect all the time, but I did find such standstills cathartic)

I think it means he's just setting up Skirmish matches without any human players and letting the AI battle it out.

(At least with definitive edition) Just set the Player to an AI when setting up the game. You'll share vision with whoever is in slot 1 and they'll control all the units. You actually can still issue orders as well though the AI will override them if it wants to. The game also include the AI's from the original and the HD edition, so you can fiddle with some themed battle stuff if you're up to it
