err posted:Tried Unpacking thinking it was going to be a relaxing game, but you need to put things in certain areas. So after you unpack everything you get a bunch of glowing items you placed and need to move to the correct area. Teddy bear on the floor? No it needs to be on the desk. Some items you can't determine what it is and you have multiple rooms they could go in. This is how the game tells its minimalistic story btw, I personally loved that detail. You can tell how the main character grows as a person or how she deals with certain events according where things must be placed, in contrast with previous levels. That said, having no idea what a certain item is supposed to be sucks, yeah.

I wouldn't worry about it somebody will knock it off within days if they haven't already. The actual protectable part here seems paper thin. I'm surprised they paid him at all I guess they want the userbase and to avoid the shitstorm from last time. Hub Cat fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Jan 31, 2022 |

Foul Fowl posted:not too bad, it's very easy to get into and the game very gently introduces its concepts (though some things like speed pips and whatever might be a bit confusing in the beginning but i'm pretty sure the game is good about listing all of these things). The game and all the DLCs are on sale for <$40. I've never played a Battletech game, and the turn-based strategy aspect intrigues me.

Battle tech is very good vanilla, excellent with the DLC, and exceptional with any of the three Mod kits - BexCE, BTA, and Roguetech, which add varying degrees of complexity in that order. If you want to have an expanded roster of stompybots, plus some QOL and flavor updates, do BexCE. Want additional ability to fiddle with your mechs, drop extra lances, and be able to deploy your own support lances of tanks? BTA. Want the kitchen sink, plus all the groggy poo poo in tabletop? Roguetech has you covered. Battle tech plus DLC I’ve paid $40 for, with nearly 400 hours played. I’ve worked full time jobs for less than that.

From a buyer’s perspective, it’s pretty decent considering that the game is juuust similar enough to some older games that it’s a potential liability if somebody comes along with a copyright lawsuit.

It's already received some endorsements here, but here is another for Not For Broadcast. I'm glad it avoided the pitfalls I feared it might fall into. The most important element is that the comedy is good, it's a tough thing to get right, especially in FMV. Many games fail at simply being funny. NFB also does quite well at the few times when it wants to get serious, managing that hard transition from comedy to tragedy. The developers also give you all the options you could ever want. You can selectively turn off or lower the difficulty any discrete game elements and they have a video suite for watching all the material after you've played through it. Which is great because you are often distracted or catch the behind-the-scenes parts that you're not supposed to be broadcasting at your leisure. And the game design can be quite good at times. Spoilers, but I found very effective one sequence where you can here the sounds of warfare off in the distance from your studio and during the broadcast sounds get gradually closer until the fighting is right outside your window. It gets hard to focus on the broadcast with gunshots and explosions from right outside.

Doesn't sound like my type of game at all but I've heard such unrelenting praise for Not For Broadcast from these forums and other places that I'm gonna pick it up tonight; everyone's made me really curious.

How steep is Kenshi's learning curve? Is there much game there? Like story or lore or things to do? I like games similar to RimWorld where you create your own story, but I feel like I might bounce off it due to difficulty or too many systems.

Kenshi has lore in the same way Dark Souls has lore. It's there, but you're expected to work most of it out yourself and much is left without a definite answer.

Judging by the negative steam reviews, it's mostly that the dlc / bundle situation is just a confusing clusterfuck. There are a ton of different bundles on the steam page and no clear answer for "what do I buy to just get everything". Plus people complaining that the price is too high.

Gamesplanet has delivered my Dying Light 2 key, no pre-load yet. I think I'm close to finishing The Following DLC of the first game. I don't like the car gimmick very much, hopefully the sequel will not do much of that.

err posted:How steep is Kenshi's learning curve? Is there much game there? Like story or lore or things to do? I like games similar to RimWorld where you create your own story, but I feel like I might bounce off it due to difficulty or too many systems. Phone posting, so this may be a little disjointed. I absolutely love Kenshi, but will be the first to tell you that it's not for everybody. Kenshi has no story, but it's filled with lore. This is a game where you make your own story. You choose one from a dozen starting scenarios and the game throws you in. The game can be brutal, but it can be brutal to everyone. Your character is just like every npc in the game. If you're running through the desert and you encounter a Skimmer (giant bug creature), unless you've smiled up enough, you will get killed. However, if you're being charged by slavers ( because you look like a slave -- malnourished, wearing ragged clothes) you can run towards a Skimmer and it may start fighting the slavers, allowing you to run away. Also, the Skimmer will probably kill the slavers, so you can lot them afterwards if you're careful. As for mechanics, the game tracks damage for each limb, and you are picky knocked unconscious is your head or torso drops below 0. You only die if head or torso drops to -100. You can lose limbs. But you can get skeleton limbs. (Robots in this world are called skeletons). There is a clan system, and you can create multiple parties. You can free form build bases and set up tasks to people in your clan. So you have 3 people mining some iron nearby, one person moving the iron to a storage chest, where others take it to turn into iron plates to be used by your weaponsmith or armorer. They will all go and get food automatically (if available, and within a reasonable range). In short, it's a true sandbox game with a bunch of mechanics that allow you tell the story you want. I accidentally love it and can't wait for the sequel, but it's not a game for everybody. If you're interested, grab it on a sale and give it a shot. Or watch some let's paid of it. Given the nature of the game, there are some channels that do a "lore" playthrough, in which they play the game and batata like they're telling a story.
