Play posted:It sucks that a game as excellent as Outer Wilds isn't appreciated by everybody. But I still believe most people who played through it absolutely loved it. I absolutely appreciate and admire and mostly understand everything Outer Wilds is trying to do. I just didn't enjoy the experience of actually playing it very much by the end; I loved the early hours of just exploring landmarks on random planets and stumbling on new mysteries, but eventually the 20-minute timer and lack of any mid-loop saves or checkpoints, on top of the friction of the flight/movement physics, becomes more frustrating than fun, especially once it starts demanding more and more that you be in a sequence of specific places at specific times

I had way more fun flying around and discovering things than I did trying to solve the mystery. Towards the end once I saw all the cool stuff there is to see I did start to lose interest. If they do a sequel/expansion (which it sounds like they are?) I think they should ditch the whole format and just let you explore a couple of new handcrafted planets with some crazy new sights to see.

More interested in the planets themselves than the metastory, although I believe I got a pretty good understanding of that eventually. Mainly I just wanted to thoroughly explore every solar body and location, the was the only goal and when I finished doing that I finished the game as far as I'm concerned.

Khanstant posted:Got me curious about my rarest Steam achievements. Two are just very specific Civilization DLC achievements, both tied ot Australia. Little odd considering they were basically "play australia in australia" map type things, which seems like the obvious thing to do with a new DLC civ? Oh man, my rarest steam achievement is a pretty easy one from the pvp smash-bros mode in Shovel Knight, but it's at 0.9%. Apparently nobody touches that mode at all. (I just played for one afternoon IIRC.) I think it might be local-only multiplayer which explains how dead it is.

So I picked up ULTRAKILL on a whim when it got recommended to me, and goddamn, this might just be one of the best arena shooters I've ever played. Absolutely recommend anyone that's ever enjoyed oldschool DOOM or Quake to check it out.

My rarest Steam achievements are also at 0.9% and are a tie between immobilizing an enemy for a continuous period of time in Titan Quest and cheesing a scenario in Age of Empires 2 to speed complete it. The AoE2 one sort of makes sense because maybe people don't know how to beat the scenario that way, but the Titan's Quest one is just about using part of a skillkit, so i'm surprised it's so low.

Did the thread ever come to a list of must-buys for this sale? So far i've scooped up Horizon Zero Dawn and A Short Hike and i'm currently eyeing Everhood, Maximum Action, and Blaster Master Zero 1&2.

I can't even find a way to see all of my achievements in one place much less see which ones are the rarest. They're probably not that rare though since this account is pretty new and I play many games separate from steam. Also why do I spell achievements wrong on my first try almost every time

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Rocket League is like the only game I've ever played where the better I got at it, the less I enjoyed it. At first it was this amazingly hilarious game where everyone was constantly loving up and laughing over chat and every once in a while there would be a "HOLY poo poo DID YOU SEE THAT" moment when someone accidentally scored a goal from the opposite end of the field. But once I started to actually know what I was doing, it just got frustrating when I couldn't execute or when an opponent hosed up my amazing shot. I don't hate it, it's a really cool game, but I preferred it way more as a silly party-type game than something competitive. this is almost exactly how i felt about Overwatch ymgve posted:It's me, I don't care about multiplayer games in general you can play against the computer so not a valid reason, sorry

Is there a point in Horizon Zero Dawn where the story gets good? I’m thinking about forcing myself to play through it, but nothing about the game feels novel or interesting. I gave up around the point where I search around old military bases looking for my hologram mom’s progress on the project to stop the mech dinos. I feel left out that everyone loves it but I can’t bring myself to enjoy it.

Broken Cog posted:If you go to your profile and set one of the showcases to "Rarest achievement showcase" it should automatically find your rarest ones I think. Eyyyyy I used to play Puzzle Pirates a ton when I was a kid. Not on steam though, it was a browser game back then. I remember climbing to the top 10 in navigation, mostly because I was poo poo at the actual puzzles for the most part.
