I'm probably gonna pick up the base game at least, but I forgot to ask the million dollar question: is it still a good game with only two people? Yes, played through it with my wife. We both enjoyed it but don’t enough to do the meta grind after completing the main story. We played about half and half with internet randos and bots. Both were fine. TheOneAndOnlyT posted:It’s sale time again and Haven’s price has dropped to $12.49, so I wanted to repost my review for what was probably my absolute favorite (and the most criminally slept-on) game of the last year. Kay and Yu are arguably the most true-to-life characters I’ve ever seen in a video game, and watching them navigate both the highs and lows of their relationship was just a wonderful experience from start to finish. I know not everyone is interested in romantic stories in their games, but if you are, you owe it to yourself to pick up this gem. Haven’s story is uniquely charming. Gameplay is… fine. Co-op does require you be able to cooperate. Omi no Kami posted:How complete is Timberborn? Beaver Banished sounds rad as heck, but small team EA stuff always makes me leery.

Any non-MMO games with lots of dress-up/costume options? There's a part of my brain that really likes RPGs and action games with lots of costume/gear options. Most MMOs I play I hit max level then immediately spend the rest of my time hunting down gear and costumes that I think look cool. There any single player games that scratch that itch? Needs good art direction - stuff like the Divinity series/Pathfinder etc don't hit it in the same way b/c tbh the armor/character design is... bland to terrible.

If I wanted to play one of these games for its single player mode, should I play Minecraft or Terraria? It feels like for the former you may as well play on a multiplayer server.

Zereth posted:Daggerfall has an even worse case of sameness to its stuff to do than Oblivion or Skyrim, though. If it's not on the main quest or like, a number of other locations I can count on one hand, it's randomly generated. No human intervention involved. I guess goals and progression. Something close to Dragon Quest Builders, though I understand that neither game is like it.

Green Man Gaming sent an email saying you can use the code “BESTOF22” for 20% off a bunch of preorders like Monster Hunter Rise, Elden Ring, God of War, Forspoken, Destiny 2 Witch Queen, and a few others. Seems like a pretty solid deal for those open palm slamming Monster Hunter and/or Elden Ring like me.

AfricanBootyShine posted:Any non-MMO games with lots of dress-up/costume options? def XCOM 2, especially with the DLC and mods. you can install gigs of clothing mods easily (use the alternate mod launcher tho). This might sound dumb and not real but I assure you that you can spend hours doing dressup in XCOM 2. in fact it goes beyond just how your soldiers look. you also customize their loadouts, names, voices, all that. and you can make posters after every mission where you choose their poses and stuff. and your base layout too. also if you wanna get a little more out there, Champions Online has a ridiculous customizer

AfricanBootyShine posted:Any non-MMO games with lots of dress-up/costume options? Are.. are you just asking if Animal Crossing exists? The X-com games are often noted for their array of clothing and other dress up options, but they’re almost all “tacticool” looking. I suspect they might be too samey for what you want. Also, everything is unlocked from the start. Rune Factory 4 let’s you change what gear NPCs are wearing, but only their hats (and sometimes weapons) are visible. SV has a wide array of clothing options, but it is all low pixel count pixel art. I’ve heard that Dragon’s Dogma does that, but haven’t played it. Possibly Skyrim or one of the Fallouts with the right mod set. Skyrim does radical appearance changes out of the box, but you’ll want mods to make any of it look good since you didn’t like the way other RPGs looked.

You're definitely on with Animal Crossing. The first part of my daily routine was hitting up the tailor to see what new outfits I could assemble. Thanks for all the suggestions y'all. I think Monster Hunter World/Rise will scratch that itch for sure. What I mean by art direction is... Anime or high fantasy? FFXIV, Code Vein, Dark Souls 3 all are good examples of games that I really enjoyed the dress-up with. I must live through my beautiful genderless bois

Any other goons are welcome to send invites as well, I’m still getting my feet wet playing multiplayer stuff because the only games I’ve been able to play with others since 2007-08 or so is EQ and WoW.

But 95% of the options are gonna be some kind of knight, wizard, or grimy medieval peasant so that might not be the kind of dress up you want.

I should clarify you don't get much in the way of specific building goals in Terraria. You'll want storage and crafting stuff, and probably an arena to fight bosses in, and you need to build housing for NPCs but they don't much care what's in the housing or what it's made of. And until the latest big patch didn't care where it was or who lived nearby, but do now. The goals are more "now it's time to go to Zone X and get stuff to fight Boss Z", although this is seldom explicit.

LLSix posted:I’ve heard that Dragon’s Dogma does that, but haven’t played it. Good call, and that's likely the best possible answer. The clothing options are extensive, you get two characters (yourself and your pawn), and the character creation is insanely extensive. There's an entire scene of making pairs of characters from other series/games/movies or the real world.       Also, it's a magnificent power trip game. Every game-ending-looking monster inevitably ends up becoming farming fodder later and something worse shows up stopping you again in your tracks for a while. And once you mopped up the entire game, there's the Bitterblack Isle expansion dungeon cranking everything up to 11. And that too, will end up being farmed eventually. And the game includes a sick speedrun mode which throws you into a special timed run, with starting stats/equipment that match the character you used to start it, as well as the teleport stones you have placed across the world beforehand to accelerate your planned route. And once the speedrun is done, you just get back to your normal game wher eyou left it.

Pierson posted:I've heard Pathfinder is a series where game #1 was where they were learning how to make it and is a good foundation but not super-great, and that Wrath of the Righteous is where all those lessons paid off and is fantastic. Kind of like how Shadowrun was fine but Hong Kong and Dragonfall are top-class. Does that sound about right? I bounced off Divinity 2 really hard since it was a level of complexity I wasn't looking for, but I still fancy a new CRPG. That being said, if you bounce off complexity, you might end up not liking this one.

Yeah, both Pathfinder games are based upon basically a fan revision of the D&D rules, and "simple" is not a thing D&D does very well.

Phlegmish posted:I bought Solasta: Crown of the Magister, and I'm now realizing I know very little about the D&D 5e ruleset. Which party composition would you guys recommend (4 characters)? Just interested in building a solid party, nothing too gimmicky. If you want to roll over the game: Paladin, Rogue, Cleric, Wizard. Paladin is just a better fighter and one of the subtypes gets the Shield spell (an insane +5 AC reaction), Rogue poo poo damage in 5e with sneak attack from long range (for a large portion of the game your rogue will literally one-shot enemies consistently every round), Clerics come with the most overpowered spell in 5e (Spiritual Guardians) and a Wizard will save you thousands of gold in identify fees.

Kingmaker is great, but you have to know beforehand that you're jumping onto a 100+ hours game if you intend to finish it. There's a lot of stuff in there, and the management around the main quest (travel, exploration, kingdom management, companion quests...) adds a ton of padding and loading screens which really accumulate over time. I'm at 102h in my game, and currently in act 6 out of 8.
