If you don't mind the demo writing you probably won't mind the rest of the game's writing, but the checkpoint system makes later bosses and later chapters loving miserable. Chapter 8 is an extended instafail sequence, because that's an awesome idea in a game where you can't see the enemy's vision cones. At the end of it you have to trick a guard into opening a door by grabbing a pizza box out of the garbage. You'll automatically fail and game-over unless you examine the box in your inventory so you know it was a pepperoni pizza. Then you also have to use a nearby fire extinguisher--an item that's never been interactable before this point--to fill the box with fog, so it looks like it's steaming?????  this is a level beyond cat hair mustache

hostess with the Moltres posted:Bioshock remastered crashed on me. I was hoping that this’d be fixed with patches by now but does this mean I should switch over to the original versions? I had an absolute nightmare of a time trying to play any of the three games except Infinite earlier this year, with Bioshock Remastered being the worst offender. For whatever reason, when you go to save your game, whether it be manual, quick, or auto, there is a coin flip's chance the game will crash. Not only that, but it also deletes whatever save file slot it tried overwriting. I tried every tip under the sun to no avail. The same bug affects at least the Switch version (probably the other consoles too) and it will never, ever get patched, despite Take-Two making $3B+ in revenue annually. If you wanna do it, you'll want to disable auto save and save manually in separate slots.

Has anyone played Gamedec? It sounds cool as hell - it's a cyberpunk isometric RPG where you play as someone who enters virtual worlds as a detective to solve virtual crimes. It promises deeply branching narratives and has Very Positive reviews but no one has mentioned it in this thread since it released 12 days ago.

Evolution of Far Cry Games: Crytek Branch: Far Cry PC - Crysis 1 - 2 - 3 (all first person shootmans with a linear progression through wide open environments) Dunia Branch: Far Cry XBox - still a linear game that adapts Far Cry PC, but more wide open than most console FPS games, the origin of the Dunia engine and it's amazing map editor Far Cry 2 - absolute bonkers ambitious adaption of PC-style eurojank ala XENUS (Boiling Point) or XENUS 2 to console, greatly reducing the complexity and inventory and economy and everything but it's still systems driven and player hostile and filled with rough edges Far Cry 3 - Finally sands off all of the rough edges and open player hostility from 2, still keeps some jank, establishes THE Ubisoft Open World Formula with towers and everything, also the hunting, crafting, and animals you can free to help distract enemies. Formula basically doesn't change from here. Far Cry 4 - Adds open world gently caress-around-and-takeover-fortresses coop, but not story campaign coop, adds more animals and ridable elephant friends Far Cry Primal - coopless spinoff of 4 that uses the same map but thousands of years ago and you play as the BEASTWIZARD with your many animal companions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufw9gSZu_sg Far Cry 5 - Adds full story campaign coop, which makes the incredibly dumb story even more hilarious, and balances it for coop by giving you an optional AI companion you can call upon whenever you need help, this includes a pilot, sniper, driver, but also a very good dog, a bear, and a lion. Far Cry New Dawn - spinoff of 5 that takes the coop into full on borderlands looter shooter land where you need rare/ultra/legendary guns to kill higher and higher level enemies with giant lifebars above their heads deep dish peat moss posted:Has anyone played Gamedec?

Apparently Sentinels of the Multiverse added workshop support earlier this month. Anyone who enjoyed it should check out the massive fan expansion The Cauldron. It's as refined as the official expansions and most of the characters, villains, and environments have unusual mechanics and interactions that make them fresh to try even if you've played out the main game!

Far Cry 1 was amazing until the mutants show up. I remember having a lot of fun in the demo as well, and being amazed at how good it looked on my lovely pc.

Far Cry 1 sucked because the open maps didn't work correctly because of bugs (the AI magically spotting you all the time forever) and then it would switch to agonizingly difficult pass/fail linear shooter levels that threw out the one mildly interesting thing the game had.

In my memory the most exciting thing about Far Cry 1 at the time was the setting in a lush semi-open jungle during an era of muddy brown and gray corridor cover shooters.

Ragequit posted:Must be absolutely furious at Terraria then. The devs of that game have pulled a “Ok this is our last big content update!” to only say “lmao just kidding” 6 months later no less than a handful of times already. I picked up Terraria literally a decade ago when Steam sold packs of games to gift out (I think $20 for 4 copies?) and they haven’t shown signs of slowing down yet. It does sound like a weird complaint, but I kind of get it? I just don't think more is automatically better, and sometimes I wish certain devs would streamline and improve what they already have instead of releasing the 78th half-assed content update.

Living games done right still veers slightly into monkey paw wish territory. "That game you like? Now you can play it forever." is a nightmare for some people, with or without the current volume of playable games. It's just a false dilemma to look at that and compare it to the PS1/PS2 era of punting bad games at the preordained gold press date and say now that was gaming. If put to the coals I will totally say we currently have an amount and quality leading to being spoiled for choice in a way that old fashioned publishing methods can't compete with. The 90s and 2000s were an era of hunkering down over summer with replaying some classics, gazing longingly at the holiday release calendar. These days I can get on Steam and at most moments find something on sale I'd like to try that will keep me occupied till the next thing on sale.

That guy just seems weirdly old and grumpy, although I think it's cool that video games are now established enough that people like that can exist. I just think there are some monkey paw aspects, as you say. Human beings are not rational, having limitless choices and endless change can in some cases even cause anxiety where it wouldn't have existed otherwise, even if in a technical cost-benefit sense your situation as a 'gamer' is only improving.

The TW series is on sale, what's the tier listing on those? I already got Medieval II for $6 but the UI doesn't scale to resolution. I loved TW Rome back in the day but I see mixed reviews on the remaster, as well as Rome 2.

I keep forgetting to ask, how is the inventory and character build downtime in Chronicon compared to Diablo 3? My wife is coming more from the Gauntlet side of ARPGs and can't build a character. D3 console coop has worked really well because I can get in and clean out the inventory and slot in a complementary skill build to any legendaries picked up in just a couple minutes every hour so it works well as a break.

It's on sale so I am likely going to finally get Dragon Quest XI, but I'm pretty nitpicky about things like this: does the game let you use the mouse? Like can you click on things in menus or is it like FF12 where the keyboard is just emulating a controller? Because I really don't like that, I'm on a drat computer and I want to use my drat mouse. I'd probably just wait and buy it on the Switch if I can't use the mouse.

It depends what you pick up, if you're picking up everything then you need to go back to town too often to clear your inventory - one of the only negative sides of the game I remember was how often I was going back to town just to dump my inventory at the trader without even looking at most of it. I wanted more currency to spend at the gambler because I was getting great gear through them. If you have more willpower than me and are capable of leaving all the non-unique stuff behind it wouldn't be bad at all. Each class essentially has It definitely won't be as smooth as D3 for your purposes but it won't be impossible either. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Sep 30, 2021 |

Ittle Dew 2 for $1 on Fanatical, extremely worth it if you've enjoyed anything by Ludosity in the past. The first one too. And there's enough decent/good stuff in this bundle to get to the 5-item tier I think. Project Highrise, Railway Empire, Reventure, etc. I think Strikey Sisters is supposed to be a hidden gem?
