Fart of Presto posted:AC Odyssey was released on 5 Oct, 2018. Here are a few other PC releases since then: There's also Genshin Impact which came out a few weeks ago. I've heard good things, some have compared it to an online Breath of the Wild. Unfortunately it has loot boxes and the like since it's F2P, but whatever. I am actually downloading it right now to give it a try.

Having played Bully for the first time a couple years back, it's definitely more than the sum of its parts. None of the individual elements rate higher than a "pretty good" but something about how they all come together made a great game.

Cartoon Man posted:It’s an anime titty gacha game. After playing for an hour, it's pretty devoid of titties. Outfits are far less scandalous than what Link wears in BOTW. Characters, items, and experience has been plentiful so far, and the combat is actually interesting with the frequent character switching. I am sure that gatcha wall is in the somewhere, but it's interesting enough to check out for a little bit. At least until November hits and AC Valhalla, Cyberpunk, Hyrule Warriors 2, and a bunch of other huge games drop.

The seasonal exclusives/new characters are going to drop soon and so there's been a bunch of speculation articles about how the developers are going to manage the delicate task of keeping the whales happy without completely depopulating the game.

Watch dogs 2 had one of the best asymmetrical multiplayer modes ever in a open world game. You could invade other player's worlds and hack them. You'd have to stay within a 300 ft radius for about 2 minutes or so while the other player was alerted that they were being hacked. The thing is before you start hacking the other player gets no notice that you're there and you look like just any other civilian. My favorite tactic was stealing one of the super common work trucks and parking in the street where the player was to begin my hack. You could duck down in your car so it looked like no one was driving and the only way the other player could spot you is if they tracked your signals with their drone. You could also disrupt the player while you were hacking them by calling the cops on them or having a local gang show up. If the player was running around with a weapon out to kill you the cops would immediately open fire in them when they showed up. Even if you were discovered by the other player you still get a chance to escape to a certain random point on the map which was always just chaos.

Watch Dogs 2 also lets you hack cars. As in take control of a vehicle that's being driven by someone else. Who might, for reasons unknown, run over someone right in front of you and the cops. Why, it might happen again and again!

I love Don't Starve right up until the Deerclops shows up. gently caress that whole thing. Every time I play that game I have a great time until that happens and then I alt+f4 and uninstall the game lol.

Don't Starve is one of those games I could never get the hang of. Like I'd go into it, build a couple basic tools, search for a gold nugget so I could get the science station up and running and then I wouldn't know what the next step was, since food would quickly become an issue and enemies would just destroy me. This was DST, in case it matters.

We were just regular co-oping and taking turns controlling those lifts-on-wheels, carting each other across rooftops and things. Obviously, when you do this, your character sits down and pulls out their laptop. As such, with us both controlling things, we were vulnerable and remotely viewing devices--when the device my friend is controlling bumps into some suspicious dude on their laptop, and he whispers, with all sincerity and suspicion. "I think there's someone else in our game  "I quickly switch to my drone, and follow my friend's controlled crane...to the dude sitting in the middle of the alley on his laptop. My character.

don’t starve felt like the tedious maintenance/upkeep stuff you have to do as a fun tax to get back to the engaging part of a game like minecraft or terraria, except if you never got to that engaging part at all and the fun tax was just the entire game

Don't Starve was one of the first iterations of these type of games and it shows. After getting like 20-30 days into DS-Together, my group basically said, "We can keep surviving, but why are we playing this game again? None of this is fun".

I found Don't Starve Together entertaining enough (as long as someone in the group is willing to be the designated farmer / cook, while everyone else, like, actually plays a video game) up until the very second a seasonal boss monster shows up and destroys 90% of your base while you whiff away at it with the lovely terrible combat system. The game is only really fun with mods that totally break the balance in your favour

Got myself shellacked by the AI last night in Mordheim. Mordhiem is a turn-based tactical-squad mercenary game set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe. So of course, I am using the rat-people, the Skaven, because they are awesome, yes-yes! My Skaven warband was facing a team of Witch Hunters. At the beginning I think I made a strategic error, I sent my Leader rat too far forwards where the Witch Hunters were able bring their entire army to bear. Skaven are best when they can swarm stragglers from an enemy warband. Anyway, on one front my leader rat and about 3 support rats (a couple halberd wielding Warpguards and a Poison Wind Globadier for AoE damage and ranged support) got stuck in fighting a Henchman (rank and file trooper, roughly equivalent to a Warpguard) Flagellant. The son of a bitch would just not go down even when he was surrounded by two Warpguard rats. This delay in killing the Flagellant allows the Witch Hunters to engage a fraction of my forces with their entire might. I was fighting against an enemy that slightly outnumbered me. Then came the luck death spiral. On a second (northern) front my Night Runner Hero (attacks three times per turn) and a Warpguard were holding the line next to an over turned cart and a crumbling wall. Both were engaged with one opponent a piece, but the Night Runner had the misfortune of being against the Witch Hunter Hero which immediately got a lucky critical hit on him, stunning him and leaving him a sitting duck for other Witch Hunters to dogpile and execute him. So the northern front was crumbling from this seemingly invincible Witch Hunter Hero. It did not take long for my rats there to be triple teamed by enemy Henchmen, while on the other front the Flagellant just kept on making dodge checks which allowed his buddies to catch up to him and take on every rat on that front with at least even odds. I get a couple more of my Heroes stunned and they go down quickly. That started the failure cascade where the enemy began looting the bodies of the out of action rats and taking my hard-earned blue (above average) equipment. Yes you can loot the bodies of your enemies to take their weapons/items and they can do the same to you! Fortunately I managed to kill one of the looters and recover some precious weapons. At the end of things my Leader ran away and tried to give ranged support to a Warpguard in reserve that was affected by Stupidity. You see that Warpguard had experienced a cranial fracture so it had to make an intelligence check every turn to see if he would be able to move like a normal unit. Fortunately once a Stupid character is fighting they will continue fighting. Both the Leader and my sole remaining Warpguard were able to kill one more Witch Hunter unit, but by then it was too late. All my other units (7) were out of action. What happened to my out of action units? Well Mordheim has random injuries and some of these injures persist from battle to battle. When my team finally routed, two of my injured rats again had cranial fractures and became Stupid. I may have to replace these level 4 and 5 Henchmen rats with fresh new recruits starting at level zero, because the Stupid Henchmen will spend most of the time in a battle just standing there as they fail their intelligence checks to actually do something. Oh also my Poison Wind Globadier didn’t get an injury he straight up died. And I had invested 400 gold in him to upgrade his skills. Oh well, chalk it up to a overextended army and a bad streak of luck for my rats. There is always next time. Mordheim is only $5 for the rest of today.
