It makes me laugh to remember the years Vogel resisted selling his games anywhere but through his own website. I'm glad he was able to overcome that needless hurdle and find modest success.

bamhand posted:Just picked up Troubleshooter, didn't realize it had servers and maintenance. Is that for multiplayer only or does it affect SP as well? It has no effect in Singleplayer, though an offline save will lock you out of MP content when it is eventually released in 20??. For now all it does is let you e-mail stuff, trade items with other players and benefit from increased Mastery/Item drops when Windwall reaches 100% safety (pretty common in usual gaming hours and constant in the days after a content update). Offline mode does open the option of using cheat engine or save editing at your leisure, plus playing during server maintenance (I've never had it stop me, since it is always like Monday morning) or if your internet is iffy.

The Joe Man posted:No problem; enjoy it! It's basically the real Gothic 3 (or a decent sequel to Risen). That's what I'm hearing and reading, and I'm super pumped to play it actually. Basically it's a must have for Gothic/Risen fans, and Gothic II is one of my all time favorites so I think I'm in for a treat here, the only negative I generally see about the game is that at times it can be a bit buggy and comes with a lot of "jank", but I'm not sure if those complaints were mostly for when it launched and have since been smoothed out by now...? Also luckily I have a high tolerance for "jank" in games, I find that poo poo charming.

Not fixed as such, no. It's a very front-loaded game, you'll see what people mean once you travel farther away from your starting area. There are some parts of the game that just feel clearly like a neat that someone had and that they included without too much thought, like the jetpack mechanic. There's hardly anywhere in the game that you really need it and I could swear that the game was almost completely finished already before they decided to include it.

I was a fan of Gothic and Risen back in the day, but I'm afraid that revisiting anything like them would be unbearable because games like Monster Hunter and Dark Souls have come along that scratch a similar itch but are just so much better.

Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and say Cyber Hook is already the highlight of this monthly for me. Really tight controls, the grappling and swinging and inertia just feel right for the most part, and I've only encountered one or two levels I'd kind of call duds so far. There are also some really drat good levels that are juuust open-ended enough to exploit mercilessly. I swear YouTube's recompression gets worse every loving time I use it, but here's me using a slingshot maneuver to beeline through the second half of a level: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=117SDjz-GXw And here's one of me using the bone-melting inertia from a cannon launch to skip almost straight to the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYH_mzrnqxg Only downside is a few hours of play has completely ruined my right hand for probably the next couple days. Worth it.

I guess this fights the Steam thread better than anything else, but can anyone recommend a good, comfortable controller for PC games? I've usually used my standard PS4 pad for everything but after a few several-hours-long sessions of Celeste I'm left with several really sore spots on my hands and fingers. Just too many little sharp angles and pokey bits on the PS4 pad. I do much prefer the layout as opposed to X-box style layouts, and I really need something with a good d-pad (PS4's is iffy but I have the d-buttons from Battle Beaver installed). Would a Dual Sense be worth investing in? I also have my 8BitDo SN30 Pro+ but that never seems to play nicely with Steam games unless I gently caress with the input codes.

I'd say the Dual Sense really fits the bill there, feels good in the hand and is rounded pretty much everywhere. There is the ongoing coverage of that whole stick lifetime issue if you care about such things for a purchase like that but otherwise if the SN30+ isn't already what you want I'd say probably the Dual Sense.

Yeah I've seen the problems with all the controllers using the ALPS sticks having drift issues, but I'm good to my controllers (and don't play THAT much with them, to be honest) and I'm perfectly comfortable with a soldering iron and replacing things like that so I don't really mind. A cheaper option would be great though. I don't currently have $70 to blow just on a controller. Safari Disco Lion fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Mar 3, 2021 |

These game all serve different niches though, Gothic and Risen are for story, Dark Souls and Monster Hunter are for combat, and the most recent Valheim is for building, no one's playing Gothic or Valheim for the combat gameplay... Personally I've bounced off on both Monster Hunter and Valheim super hard because I found them needlessly grindy, the story to Monster Hunter was good enough to string you along, but once done, super hard bounce. Souls games are A++ though.

I don't think I was really playing Gothic and Risen for the story, or at least I don't remember much about their stories. What I do remember liking was having a big world to explore, full of neat nooks and crannies to poke into with cool stuff to find. Regardless of whether you're there for the combat, though, you're going to be doing a lot of it. Back in the day I think I just put up with it because, eh, not like I had something better to play. But now that I have examples of how that kind of combat can be done so much tremendously better, I think it would get on my nerves too much to enjoy those games.

I'm wanna second Cyber Hook. It was free on Prime gaming recently and it's one of the only givaway games I've tried lately that I've really liked. It makes a point of skipping through the idea of there being a plot early on until after you get through the tutorial and early levels, and then when it has the opportunity to bog poo poo down with the story, it just delivers brief hints at it and lets you be on your way. It's incredibly minor but the only thing I don't love is the increased grapple length during bullet time since I'd rather zip around without slowing pace, that extra range is nice to have sometimes but I gotta keep zoomin'

You want this:  It works perfectly with everything your DS4 does because it's PS4-compatible. It's light and comfy to use. The D-pad is good and is in the right place.

When it's plugged in directly, you can use 8bitdo's software to make sure it's in the right mode and whatnot.
