lordfrikk posted:The length, linearity and moddability were not the main problem. The writing was really bad was and them remaking and artificially restricting themselves to look and play like a Bethesda open world RPG made no sense if they were making a new game from scratch. Yeah, it just felt very tonally dissonant. Early on, it goes for an extremely satirical, even farcical tone, where you have mortally wounded soldiers quoting advertising slogans to you because it's in their contract. Which in principle would've been fine, if they'd stuck to it. But then they quickly compromise it in an attempt for a semi-genuine morality tale, which doesn't really have much of an impact. How does the game expect me to care about the oppression of NPC A, when just minutes earlier I watched NPCs B through K get mutilated basically just for a quick laugh?

Galaga Galaxian posted:Oh a few interface related tips. If you hold down ALT on a planet it'll show all the potential slipway lanes a planet can have (with your current range tech) AND the potential imports/exports on those lanes for any colony type you can build there. If you hold down alt while placing a structure it will also display its potential slipway lanes as well. In addition if you open the build menu on a planet you can right click a colony type selection to pin that colony to the planet temporarily (but not actually build it) you can do this to multiple worlds which can make planning things out and spitballing ideas easier IMO. They go away pretty easily though if you left click empty space. Oh neat, that I didn't know about. I suppose its probably in the help section somewhere but that isn't exactly the best learning tool.

So... what are the differences between Mordhau and Chivalry 2? At a glance, Mordhau definitely seemed a lot more interesting than 1, what with classes with abilities beyond "swing sword at dude".

did you mean chivalry 2? mordhau only has classes in the sense you create one by building a loadout of weapons and (mostly passive) skills. chivalry 2 straight up has 4 different classes with different weapon selections/abilities between them

Set your soul free, friend. Leave that for the ones whos brains don't give them a choice Hwurmp posted:more games should be musicals Maybe try one hand clapping and make your own musicals, lol But yeah, I agree that would be cool. Obviously it adds a huge expense into a game though, to hire all the people necessary to make that happen. beats for junkies posted:I finished A Hand With Many Fingers this morning (I was closer to the end last night than I thought). Someone else mentioned it's only about an hour or two, and that's about right (and I'm usually much slower than the "how long to beat this game" time). It's good but the ending feels a bit abrupt. I had just reorganized my corkboard (putting all the pictures in the middle), assuming I was going to be digging for another name to connect to the conspiracy, but then it faded to black after I got the next (and last) document. I'm hoping the dev is working on a sequel, because I am here for cross-referencing investigative action. I mean, Her Story and Telling Lies are kinda right up there. You use a video database and keywords to slowly unravel the truth. Also, recent game Lacuna has investigative elements. I wish they were slightly more involved but there is the odd tricky segment and it has a good story. Overall we desperately need more and better investigative titles with well-designed cases/puzzles. Orv posted:Because it's not coming to Xbox at all due to it being a pre-acquisition arrangement. Maybe not XBOX, at least right away, but Deathloop will be on PC as well. Ghostwire Tokyo, another Bethesda one is also like that. Seems like it's unclear if they're launching on both PS5 and PC or just PS5 to start but eventually it will be available on both. And who knows about XBOX, plenty of games end up getting ported later in the their life cycle or when exclusivity agreements lapse. I don't think we know the exact details of those deals

It's also not as super hardcore as Mordhau, it's newer so you won't be going up against uber fans who'll smoke you without any issues and it's not catering to white supremacists because you can play as women and have non-white skin tone. You primarily spend time hitting people with sword to build up a meter that lets you do other things like heal people, throw out incendiary grenades or what have you.

i think you’re thinking there’s more weight to the diversity of play than there actually is. a “medic” in mordhau is a guy who drops one medpack for a player and then is essentially done for that life. a “trapper” might have brought a bear trap or two. a “engineer” can build stuff and repair map determined barricades but it’s all of dubious usefulness. the prime focus of both games is 90% “hit man with sword” and you’re not going to have a good time if you think you can play like a tf2 medic or something

Xander77 posted:No, I meant Mordhau. As in, you could build a... loadout that had stuff to do beyond "hit dude with sword" (axe) (hammer) - traps, bows, support, medic, engineer etc. It's not immediately apparent, but Chivalry 2 has much the same abilities, just as an integral part of the various classes. For example, Chiv 2 has an "Engineer" class that does double damage to structures (including destructible objectives like castle gates) and can deploy bear traps and palisades. Other classes can do things like throw medkits, plant a healing banner on the ground, throw fire bombs, deploy sharpened stakes that damage enemies, and so on. Some of these are available from the get-go, others are abilities that you charge up as you play and earn points. The main difference in terms of playstyle is that Chiv 2 is more streamlined. It is very discrete in what the various actions like block, kick, and counter do, distilling them down to essentially a rock-papers-scissors system with a sort of initiative system like many fighting games have. Usually when you get hit, it's very easy to look back and recognize why that has happened. Mordhau by comparison is more freeform, giving you more potential tricksy ways to get around the enemy defense through feints or fakeouts, but is in turn somewhat harder to read. Sometimes you just completely get poo poo on by some gimmick without getting an attack in edgewise, and you can hardly tell what you're even supposed to do about it at first.

Is there a way to remove the explicitly sexual games, without removing rated R games? I have no interest in Lolicon Barbecue 4, but I'm not sure how to remove keywords without also removing stuff like GTA V. I am not making a judgement call of those who like Visual Novels or Sex with the Devil games, I just don't want to see them.

the optimal way to play Chivalry 2 is to howl like a maniac and cannonball into the nearest cluster of 6+ enemies, cutting down half of them because they're hitting each other more than they're hitting you

Grevlek posted:Is there a way to remove the explicitly sexual games, without removing rated R games? Yeah, there's a tag for explicit sex games that you can flag for exclusion. I don't remember which of steam's 4 settings menus it is in though. It helps though it won't fix the problem entirely. A lot of porn games get around the tag filter by not showing explicít sex parts or providing nude patches hosted elsewhere.

Commander Keene posted:Tried that free Titan Souls game, beat the heart boss, got stuck on both the eye and brain, and I'm just extremely not feeling the gameplay. I'm glad it was free, because it's probably not a game I'm going to play again. Pretty cute game but yeah, the slow move speed, but the akwardness of firing, plus the instant death and loooooong walk-back penalty just made it unfun. Watched a speedrun of it after and was glad I dipped out rather than keep throwing myself at it. A lot of the boss puzzles looked legit fun to figure out the trick to winning... but with how the game is structured it was be so long in between actual boss fight attempts that it was Not Fun. If you died and instantly respawned at start of fight, that'd be keen, I would've tried to beat it. Slow death cutscene, slow rebirth cutscene, long tedious trivial walk through a boring slow to navigate landscape was a bad design choice.

chglcu posted:PS Now seems to be very YMMV. I've heard of people who have it working flawlessly, but my experience has always been horrible stuttering, input lag and video compression artifacts, even on a wired gigabit cable connection with a fairly beefy PC. No idea why it's never worked well for me. Same. I’m pretty sure the people who say it’s fine are experiencing the same thing but just don’t notice or care for whatever blessed reason.

i gave it a spin to play bloodborne for about 45 minutes or so and: yes, there was enough of an input delay to be noticeable. but also, yes, it was perfectly playable. then i realized i wouldn't get to do the dlc again and i stopped playing but i've got a big hog internet connection and that's probably a luxury most people don't have

The setting is under the "<account name>" dropdown menu at the top right, near the minimize/maximize buttons. <account name> -> Store preferences and there should be a full-page thing of mature content. The last tickbox removes all the hentai trash, they have example titles too. It's worked perfectly for me since it was introduced years ago, never seen a single porn thing since but still get plenty of Witcher3/GTA5 suggestions, which is perfect.

What are some good tactics/squad games options on steam? I just finished another heavily modded run of X-com 2 and am relatively clueless as to what else is out there from the last three years or so. I also really enjoyed the smaller scope of Invisible Inc and Chimera Squad as well. I'm down with fantasy/sci-fi/comteporary as long as the characters or plot have something to them. I already own Troubleshooters apparently and didn't love the first hour or two of Fae Tactics. Real time stuff like Desperados 3 was solid but I prefer a turn based or initiative system over real time. Any suggestions out there?
