Well, now that sounds like just the thing I'd probably want to avoid. Do enemy cars scale up in toughness when you get that upgrade? Eh eh and I gotta complain about the camera situation. They made this really robust system to change up the look and the viewpoint and everything, but it's only for taking screen caps! Presumably they tasked somebody with making it "sticky for social media" or whatever, but they never bothered to just activate those options for the drat gameplay, I mean come on. (Unless i'm missing something.) I want the camera to not be glued to the car and I want bigger FOV for not getting head-swimmy. And the aesthetics too. And they don't have the multiple driving views that car driving games have had since the 90s. Just a passable third person and a bad first person.

 Death Trash I finally played another of the ones everyone's been talking about. It's Fallout by way of FLESH AND MEAT (literally one of the first NPCs you meet is a FleshKraken). It does the FO thing pretty well, there's no VATS bullshit to worry about here, just standard melee, dodge and ranged options to combat. And of course conversational stats. Looting, lockpicking, wandering around, all that stuff. This probably would've appealed to me more a decade ago but I think this could finally be the FO successor that wins people over.  My Time at Sandrock I've played this long enough now (2+ hours) that I can give a proper opinion on it, having beaten My Time at Portia previously. The general game loop is pretty similar, you build stuff for people, including main questline stuff where you build large stuff that then impacts the game world. Starting with what has improved over Portia, the general presentation has improved. There's a better sheen to everything, the world design feels a little bit closer to the concept art than Portia's did, everything is nice and vibrant. The interface/UI has improved. You have an infinite sprint which is pretty fast, thank you game. The animations are a little more exaggerated in their spacing which lends well to 60fps. A big improvement is that shops stay open 24/7. This is accomplished simply by everyone having a cash register out in front of their shop now. So people who wait until the end of the day before selling, you're no longer screwed over. Combat has been "overhauled", although it still feels not amazing. It's a little bit zippier but is still lacking in feedback, so while it feels less tacked on now, it still is not the reason you play the game. Fueling your machines gives you a lot more for your buck this time around-- with a caveat I'll mention below. Data discs are back, but rather than unlocking pointless decorative bric-a-brac, this time around data discs help unlock new blueprints for big projects. That's an upgrade for me personally (bear in mind I could be misremembering and maybe data discs unlocked diagrams in Portia too), as decorative items are sold at shops in the town now and I feel like that makes more sense. Of course you can also buy more recipes for your machines as well. The game takes place in a desert town, which has some important differences from Portia. For starters, cutting down trees is forbidden, as they're a precious natural resource. Instead, you'll be getting wood by breaking down wood scrap, harvesting from plants and tumbleweed, and other such... it's a little odd to get wood this way, but at the end of the day, you'll be able to get the wood you need. There are different types of scrap, from wood to copper to rubber to mechanical, and the Recycler machine you build will extract resources out of your scrap that you can then use in your project. You have the workshop desk of course, and the usual machines like the furnace and processor. Ok, so the stuff I'm concerned about still, having had a lot of frustrations with Portia. #1, the characterization once again seems to be lower priority for the team. Even though there are a lot of people in the town (a town that seems bigger than Portia, by the way, so there's more citizens as well), none of them have much more than a very very basic personality, if that. So this has not improved from Portia. #2, the loading times... this is one thing technology has solved, as it's much like a problem on the newest SSD drives, but if you DON'T have those.. well you're gonna be dealing with long load times again just like on Portia. #3, Mining has not improved much from Portia. It's still the same procedurally generated voxel bullshit with the jetpack. Couldn't they have just merged the mining with the dungeons and made a more conventional thing to explore? #4, there's stuff that the demo just doesn't have that won't be shown until Early Access and so I'm concerned. The world size is.. odd. The town is larger than the world outside of it...will there be other areas you go to? Have they just not built the rest of the world yet? Will the rewards for donating to the museum be better? Will the holidays be better? Please tell me the dungeoning will be better. And there are a couple of shops that keep their registers indoors... I have not tried to go to those late at night but will there be any shops that are time sensitive? I don't know yet. Oh yeah, and Portia ran loving horribly on Switch last time. They're not gonna try and port Sandrock to it are they? Because they still have to answer for that awful Portia port. I checked and it looks like they plan on going into Early Access in September.

Mescal posted:Hello I am playing Mad Max and it's pretty fun so far. So there's all these picture settings in photograph mode. Can I use those for gameplay? Please tell me I can. Can I turn off minimap/hud? It seems like there's kind of two different places in the menus for everything, a little confusing. Partially I want to not get seasick, and I only see FOV change in the photograph mode, partially I want to video to look more like Fury Road (why doesn't it look like their film/filters?) I don't SUPER like the follow map markers +GPS style. and my final question: is there anything I should know in general while playing, there's a lot to do so is there anything that I shouldn't ignore while loving around https://beforeiplay.com/index.php?title=Mad_Max One thing I’d add to that is: reaching Gastown isn’t the endgame. So don’t be afraid to progress the story, because it lasts longer than you might initially think.

My impressions of demo games I've tried so far. I wanted to try some of the ones which looked less polished/professional, which led to mixed results: Would recommend Grapple Hoops: Parkour first person game -- you are a crash test dummy who grapple hooks their way around levels to dunk a basketball. Gameplay feels fluid and fun, super fast resets when you die with an actually very satisfying little snap sound. I'd definitely recommend it, I didn't realize how much I'd enjoy this type of game. Definitely going to be cool to see speedruns of this eventually. Cooperative Chess: I was not expecting this to be as good as it was. You and your partner are set up as black and white on a chess board, and your goal is to end up finishing a chess game by someone winning. However, you (1) have to make sure that you are occupying a few specific highlighted squares after each set of turns, (2) have to decide on 2-3 moves simultaneously without the other person knowing, and (3) all the rules of competitive chess still apply -- e.g. you can accidentally take each other's pieces, put someone in check, etc. It's actually a really elegant and fun little coordination/strategy game. Sort of on the fence: Severed Steel: It's fun - FPS with tons of Max Payne style jumping and wall running and slo mo while you kill enemies. But, it didn't really keep my attention for that long -- this feels more like an indictment of me than the game though. Would not: Siege the Day: I would not recommend this unless it changes considerably. You build a castle with some fixed guns which you control one by one in a fairly awkward way to shoot at an enemy castle (hold right mouse and move the mouse to aim side to side, scroll wheel to go up and down, then space bar to make a target stop at the right time to shoot, then wait 30 seconds for the cooldown), along with a couple of units you can vaguely control. Did not grab me. Countdown Final Zone: OK you probably realized you shouldn't buy this if you looked at the art, icons, basically anything on the store page. It's an incredibly bare bones multiplayer shooter with one semi low poly map. I killed the one other person playing the demo a few times and then uninstalled. It seems like it might have been made by a reasonably talented high schooler. It's honestly not not fun for what it is, but it's not really on the level of a commercial game. Sky Fleet: I probably can't recommend to most people, but I liked it and wishlisted. It seems like it still has a long way to go, but the basic loop is that you're in a top down controlling a little airship around a bunch of islands. You kill enemies to build more floating buildings to help you extract more resources and kill more enemies. It is super barebones at the moment, and doesn't really feel like a full game, but could be fun if they spend a lot more time in the oven. Other random ones: Assimilate -- seems like it could be fun -- basically seems like one of the Jackbox mini games. Without five other people to play it tho, it's hard to say -- wishlisted for now. Mage Mountain: Someone with a higher tolerance for clunky UI and art than I should check this out and see if it is any good. The graphics look like basically programmer art, and everything is a bit clunky. Maybe it's the next dreamquest tho idk I couldn't get past the above to get to the deck building combat part of the game.

kirbysuperstar posted:That's interesting, because IME TX plays worse than Zwei or Gurumin and has completely forgettable music compared to Night Survivor or Footprint in the Wet Sand. Like I said, Ys VIII and TX are the only somewhat recent Falcom games I have played so I can't compare gameplay to any others. I think the DS remake of Ys I&II is the only other Falcom anything I've played before and I stopped very quickly after not liking the combat  While building combos in TX dungeons was somewhat useful for getting good rank bonuses, it feels largely pointless in Ys VIII, since the latter has most of the combat taking place either in sparsely populated outdoor locations or fixed wave defense missions. I'm not sure it's even possible to build 100+ hit combos in Ys VIII since screen transitions or waiting for the next wave in defense missions will generally kill your momentum completely, while a 200 point combo was quite doable in some TX dungeons. The platforming is terrible in both games, but at least in TX this is mostly an issue in the last 2-3 dungeons where you have things like appearing/disappearing platforms to climb vertically, rather than throughout much of Ys VIII. I really like the TX soundtrack, with some chill jazzy days of running around the city doing sidequests and then hopping into rifts to fight enemies to the sound of a decent rock/metal tune. I do think the jazzier bits (Night Falls, Sensitive Game, Looking for Clues) are the better ones, though, so I couldn't tell you what rift has what background music or anything like that. And while I kind of like A Footprint in the Wet Sand, I despise the electronic sound they used to carry much of the melody in Night Survivor, so maybe I would have enjoyed the Ys VIII soundtrack with better instrumentation.

Not sure if it's doing a whole new thing or if it's cribbing from an older game I'm unfamiliar with. Maybe retro graphics isn't quite the right word but it is definitely a look alright.

It's a less involved, lower budget Deus Ex with a little bit more of a sandbox structure. And an ultra-hideous art style. Intentionally hideous though so at least it's consistent.

It really is the latter for most people I'm guessing. It's a little bit "boomer shooter", a little bit Deus Ex with multiple paths to completing missions and a wide variety of loadout options that can totally change up how you play, and genuinely funny and interesting setting and dialogue. Also LOADS of well-hidden secrets and rewarding exploration. And a fishing mini-game. And a stock market minigame, with another separate stock market for fish, and then another one for organs you harvest from enemies.

SimonChris posted:https://twitter.com/mxSophieH/status/1405178723343777793 Thanks for this, it looks right up my alley. I'll report back after I've played for a bit. edit: played for a bit, still in the tutorial (though near the end), not entirely sure what I'm doing and there's road construction going on outside, so it's probably not the best time to be playing a game that has such an emphasis on tiny changes in sound. So far, it seems neat, definitely check it out if you like Thief Simulator. It's not the same dev or anything, they just both fit in a similar niche: "unlocking things" games.  ---- Lately, I've been playing Clandestine, a neat-but-kinda-janky little co-op game where one player is the field agent, Katya, and the other is her hacker support, Martin. There's also a solo mode where you can switch between the two at will. Martin can hack computers to read emails and find intel, find door codes, take over cameras so Katya can move through the room undetected, and sometimes hit certain nodes on the network in tandem with Katya bluffing someone (like answering a phone and pretending to be the guy that Katya has a "job interview" with, using her cover identity). It's a bit rough in some places (animations mostly), but it's a pretty fun time. Katya is a pretty great character - young Russian spy with bright red hair ("I liked the black hair, but it's good to see you back to your natural color." "This is nobody's natural color, but it's better than being blonde."), dressed like a typical 90s slacker (game is set in 1996), and she's pretty entertaining. On one mission, she has to wear a dress and her cover identity is a call girl, accompanying an NPC agent (who you rescued during the first mission). Katya: "Okay, so security will be light, but I can't just walk in there wearing a kevlar vest with a holster strapped to my thigh." Sarah (one of your bosses): "Oh, not to worry, we've procured a lovely dress for you to wear." *briefing slides show a fancy red cocktail dress and high heels* Katya, in Russian: "You have got to be loving kidding me." Martin: "Oh, come on, Kat, it's not that bad. It'll be just like in the movies!" Katya: *glares at Martin* Then, during the mission's opening cutscene: "You may not feel like it, but you look amazing in that dress." "I have to admit, Sarah does have good taste. But these drat heels are killing me." "Maybe if you tried not walking like you're wearing combat boots..." "It's just not fair - if you want to dress fancy as hell, you can still run without breaking your ankles." The actual mission felt almost like old-school Hitman (Contracts and earlier, not 2016 and later): you infiltrate a party to find and interrogate a spy working for the enemy, but he's good enough that your organization has yet to confirm his appearance, so you have to walk around and listen to people and find the "opportunity" (as the new Hitman games call it). There's only one way to do things (unlike Hitman), but eventually you get the target alone in a bedroom and interrogate him, then have an option to kill him or knock him out (he gets arrested and turned over to Scotland Yard for other crimes he did). Also, attempting to sprint just gives the message "You cannot run in high heels." The game seems to be keeping cumulative track of the "footprint" I leave during missions (knocking people out is actually a bigger footprint than killing them, because dead people can't talk), and so far, at least one briefing has mentioned that my previous stealthy ways resulted in less guards for the upcoming mission. Between missions, you can wander around HQ and talk to your fellow agents (Martin and Mansoor, the guy you rescued in the first mission) and your handlers. Of course, one of the first keypad codes is 0451, and if you walk into the men's bathroom, your boss later tells you to stay out of there in the future. Other than that, it doesn't really have a lot of DX in it. It feels more like a low-budget combination of Splinter Cell and old-Hitman, but with the neat feature of being able to play as the hacker, too (or have a friend do it).

Clandestine is great, I played the whole thing through with a buddy and nothing else quite does what it does - I remember a particularly cool section where Katya is trying to infiltrate an office building and has to converse with the receptionist while Martin is hacking their system, finding the answers to the receptionist's questions and modifying appointment calendars and such. Shame it has a low budget and Katya moves like a Churchill tank, but it's really the only game in town for co-op operative/hacker shenanigans. (though the recently released Operation Tango is cool too, it's really short)

Not sure if it's doing a whole new thing or if it's cribbing from an older game I'm unfamiliar with. it's like a tactical fps. every mission you're told to kill one or more people and then find the level exit. there's tons of different ways to go about this, the levels are generally enormous and sprawling and full of weird things and secrets and terrifying enemies. the game knows it's a game, knows that you know it's a game, and so messes with your expectations and its rules very freely. movement feels amazing and only gets better with the more hideous and disgusting bio mods you buy and install into yourself. it looks ugly as gently caress until you play it for a bit. then it looks great. no setpieces, no walk and chats, no compromising fun for the sake of realism with five second animations for picking up an egg. just gameplay. it's hard to explain the exact feeling you get but it's kinda like when you pull off something really sick and unexpected that the game clearly didn't account for. cruelty squad feels like it doesn't account for anything, it just lets you try whatever you want. definitely one to try to see if you like it, there's nothing like it. well haha good luck.

Super interesting look and graphics, fun gimmicks with shooting through walls and not being able to finish enemies unless you feed them into a grinder trap. Leads to a lot of crazy running and gunning, sometimes staying in a room to try and finish guys off and get some health, sometimes escaping quickly to get to the next room. A lot of promise in this one. Top list for me is Radio Viscera, Sable, Unsighted, GRIME, with special mentions of Franz Fury and Gearshifters, two vehicular combat games in different styles. Gearshifters is basically a side scrolling game like R-Type except you're looking down at a road instead of sideways at a ship or plane, whle Franz Fury is top down but you have full control over direction and speed and all that. Bit hard to control, but it's been a while since some good vehicle based shooting games came out so I hope they end up good. Has anyone tried out Ember Knights? Looks kinda cool although not if you can't play it solo

yegods posted:Sorry for the slightly off topic, but I'm looking for a vendor for a mini gaming pc, hopefully around the size of one of current gen consoles. I'd like to stick one in my living room, and don't have the patience to build those tiny things. Any reputable online builders I should know of? TIA Maybe something like this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0939QHDX...2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== Mini, only slightly above 1k, comes with a 1650 4 GB. Don't think you'll get much more for under 1k since prebuilt prices have increased right alongside GPU prices.

GrandpaPants posted:I'm actually surprised that it has so many reviews for a game that comes off as "cult classic" or whatever. I imagine some streamer got their hands on it and spread the word, but drat that's a lot of reviews for Jojo's Bizarre Metroidsoulsvania. Play posted:Personally I didn't like the kind paper-cutout, flash-style graphics and also found the game really hard with very little reward. But I'm an idiot and a baby so I say that about a lot of games Edit: Also the game tries really hard to be sad.
