Anyone have any experience with Thunder Tier One? Seems like the AI sucks so if I were to convince a friend to go in with me it could be pretty alright but.. is it fun? It looks a bit light on content with an emphasis on "hey we allow modding", but a lot of positive reviews say it's a great platform and begging modders to make more maps lol

I feel like Ziplines in DS are as much a pain in the rear end as they are useful till you have a shitload of network bandwidth. They're essential in the mountains but I feel like trucks are more useful generally everywhere else*. Although apparently, the directors cut lets you use hover carriers with them which is probably my #1 complaintSection Z posted:On that note, the speed legs start out disappointing (in my view) but the rank 3 version is super goddamned amazing. Finally good power capacity and they fold up into a Small size box you can easily stash in your backpack. *After you've repaired the roads.

I understand that half of Persona 4 is essentially a visual novel, but the epilogue after the final dungeon goes on foooreeeevver. Though they do nail the bittersweet feeling of leaving a town you've spent an extended period of time in, which I've done a bunch  Overall the game is great. The group dynamic of your squad is a bit weird. Would girls want to hang out with guys who are constantly creeping on them? I played on hard and though the first dungeon was pretty rough, everything else felt pretty good after that. It felt easier than my memories of Persona 3 back on the PS2, but maybe I'm just better at games. As a bonus, I learned a lot about Japanese life such as 1) Saturday is a school day, those poor bastards 2) children in elementary school drink coffee 3) hugging your distraught friend is a declaration of love. To avoid that, just silently stare Special shoutout to Kanji's voice actor, who recorded half of his lines while clearly inebriated.

in yakuza LAD, is there a point i should beeline to in the story before I stop & smell the roses for game mechanics reasons, like in Death Stranding & waiting for Ep3/5 before loving around?

Hmm, probably unlocking the job system, so you can start working on those. Getting a full party is a good idea too, but that actually requires doing some side content (the business management minigame). In general, you can engage with side stuff as it pops up, the point of no return is very obvious.

The only thing you may want to rush a bit imho is companion relationship. Once you get a new companion, get them in your party, and keep them there until you maxed out your relationship by doing their quests. At max relationship they get full xp even when outside of party, so that ensures that everyone is leveling up no matter what your favourite team is, and when you decide to try someone else, they are on par with everyone else.

tohu is a delightful surprise, a little simple but charming in the way machinarium was (although it feels like dialog was added at the last second for extra conveyance to the player and feels unnecessary)

GhostDog posted:You like Gothic? Here, have more Gothic, it's free. Blimey. Apparently Pyranha Bytes drafted a license for modders of their game in 2004 (!) already, so people can make derivative works of Gothic and publish them as long as they don't demand money for it. (If I'm reading the license right, of course…) That's pretty forward-thinking tbh.

If you want to powergame, I'd suggest rushing until you get to the business management minigame, then read a guide for it and spend an afternoon beating it. That not only gives you all the money you need for the rest of the game (surprisingly, this does not make the game a cakewalk) but it unlocks your final party member. Then you can optionally progress the story mode a bit further beyond that (not far) and you'll unlock a sort of repeatable sewer dungeon thing that can be phenomenal for farming exp. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Dec 12, 2021 |

I’ve installed a new drive on an old computer, installed a fresh copy of windows, and am now moving some steam stuff over. So it’s going from a standard c: install to a standard c: install. I had steam install one game to get everything set up, and I’m currently copying all the other installs from steamapps/common to the new steamapps/common. When that’s done, will Steam notice these new installs when I fire it up, or will I need to go through and “install” each one again?

If you're like me and don't care overmuch for the management games in the Yakuza series, you only have to do the first milestone in Like A Dragon to get the party member.

Nah, the old drive is going away. When I say “an old computer” I mean “it has HDDs in it”. Setting this thing up for the kids to play terraria and such, figured throwing an SSD in there was a worthwhile enough upgrade.

These old platter drives really struggle with loading lots of small files. Even the copy itself dips down to <5MB/sec when it’s doing a million tiny files just from the seek time. :| Also it’s quieter, although that little ticka-tacka rattle in the background is super nostalgic. And who knows if/when these HDDs are gonna go south. They’re over a decade old and one of the two I had in there has already died some years back. Lots of miles on those things.

Chorvs is a lot of fun once you get some unlocks and get the hang of the combat system. One question I have is if there's a point at which the game opens up and stops locking you into story missions. I keep trying to do some sidequests, but first it forces you to abandon your current story quest, and more than once I've flown too close to a waypoint and it automatically reselects the story mission. after the second system, for example, right before you go to that first rift system, I wanted to go back to system #1 and do some side qtests, but as I was flying through the waypoint it forced me onto the story mission, sending me to the rift. Is this something I'm just going to have to fight the UI on or will it open up once I progress to a certain point in the story

i'd say the best thing about control is 90% production design and the leftover 10% that's the actual shooting/gameplay is mediocre at best but i put a massive radius boost and a massive damage boost in the thing's triple rocket launcher and boy howdy i have to say it was incredibly gratifying https://twitter.com/cowcaster/status/1469926491723083780?s=20

The game will prioritize story missions such that if you fly too close to a main objective, it’ll automatically focus on it until that section is completed and then you can go back to doing sidequests. It’s annoying if you’re like me and do everything possible to avoid the main mission until all the side content is done but the good news is that nothing is permanently missable. You can also abandon the story mission to kick you back out faster if you have to do whatever optional quest you were working on now.

Haven't seen anyone post about Wolfstride yet. Its a turn based mech fighting game, manga style. Not everyone's cup of tea but I'm really enjoying it. It oozes styles, great VA and character animations. The only minor gripe I have is that there is a little busy work between fights but the dialogue carries it. (I had to use a humble link, can't seem to share a link in the steam app)

Control has an interesting presentation and it was interesting to see all the SCP stuff but the gameplay goes from "mediocre" to "loving dire" throughout the game's course. By the time I beat the all the optional and post-game bosses I loving hated the gameplay so much.

Telekinesis is the one good ability in that game. Everything else was just poo poo that sucked but you had to do something while waiting for Telekinesis to recharge. Telekinesis was also useless against most bosses which is why they sucked extra hard.

Worst part of Control's gameplay IMO was too many material drops being limited to certain areas and when the dudes run out you're forced to wander around hoping more will eventually spawn.
