i'm probably not gonna get anything but the ones that you could talk me into are code vein, super time force ultra, monster boy, crown trick, maybe troubleshooter idk. not sure why these are on my list : dungeon of neheulbeuk, shadowfate, dungeons of dredmor, maybe ill just get the ones that are $2 i still kinda want to play red dead 2. i wouldn't feel bad pirating that one, but its probably one i'd want to dip in and out of and it would be nice to redownload it with cloud saves. and let's be honest i'm never going to bother with the effort of pirating stuff for use on the stem deck John Murdoch posted:Try the demo first.

Mescal posted:what do you mean by "stiff" ? that will help me decide Honestly don't know if I can distill it down any better than that. IIRC, the game really did not want to let you dodge roll out of animations nor would buffer a dodge roll like in Dark Souls and the roll just felt bad in general. Maybe it was a consequence of using super heavy weapons (since that's my thing in souls games), but the combat felt flat and unresponsive, despite me wielding a giant piece of concrete stuck on some rebar. Visual flair for days, totally whiffed the gameplay fundamentals. Edit: It's not entirely impossible it feels better with a controller and/or the demo is outdated in some way, but the last time I mentioned it another goon agreed that it was pretty lackluster so idk.

My game is on sale for the Steam Autumn Sale event: https://twitter.com/MegaKnockdown/status/1595127998042484736?t=Dd5NjAVdjug2iAIutIjs4w&s=19 I've posted about it before but it's a turn based take on 2d fighting games. The art will finally be getting an overhaul over the next few months as I found an artist to collaborate with.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:well online was broken in all of them for quite a while so it makes sense that they didn't put them on sale in that still-broken state. we should probably see sales again soon though, now that DS3, DS2, and DS:R all have fixed online again. (The non-remastered Dark Souls is WONTFIX though) This is the second sale where you would expect them to go on sale since they've been fixed, none of them were on sale in the recent Namco Bandai sale either. If they aren't on sale in the xmas sale (and that is usually just the same as black friday) then I think it is fair to say they are keeping the price high on the back of ER's popularity.

Sekiro is 50% off but it's Activision and not Bandai Namco. I think it's safe to assume Dark Souls won't be on sale for the Christmas sale either

I was hoping elden ring would finally go on sale... Welp. Guess I might finally try CP2077, and maybe guardians of the galaxy, the slormancer and nova drift. That's probably enough for a couple months. Any opinions on these (and especially on steam deck if you have exp there) or dying light 2 (heard it was worse than the first which I really liked so I've been holding out for it to get cheap) would be great.

Welp. dying light 2 is a wreck. just replay the first if you really want what it has to offer gotg has gorgeous setpieces and surprisingly decent writing for what it offers, but the combat is a slog (though you can tweak your characters' damage output to make it go faster) and the main cast spends 3/4's of the game trading the Designated rear end in a top hat role back and forth. you will grow to hate the word "flark" by the end i got CP2077 after the big patch and it was surprisingly solid, though its structure is weird. it's a small narrative-heavy heist adventure for the first act and then explodes into an ubisoft-esque icon hunt afterward, though its main missions are still pretty engrossing

I picked up Arkham Origin after all the Batman talk as its the only one I haven't played, I always heard it was one of the worst ones but I'm willing to give it a go for $5 and recent stuff I've heard has also been fairly favorable. Also snagged Control, Tales From The Borderlands, Splinter Cell Blacklist and the Hitman DLCs all for about $50.

For how long it was been in development almost everything but the main quest felt really shallow.

EVIL Gibson posted:after a good time not being the last souls game aren't most of the online players of a souls game just filthed up with hacks ? Not really, no. Hackers get drawn to the biggest population, which pre-shutdown and return was DS3. It wasn't impossible to encounter one in the other games, but they're pretty rare at this point. Though I guess it also depends on your definition of hacks. DS3's endgame in particular was lousy with dummy family sharing accounts running all sorts of cheesy infinite estus/infinite stamina/animation hack poo poo. But all three games had a problem with bad actors corrupting your save game or running circles around anticheat to get you banned instead of them. Hopefully the security updates have shut down the worst of them, since AFAIK all of it came from the same root issue.

It's got issues to be sure, but I much prefer it to Arkham City at this point. I do wish the challenge track crap didn't make me not want to replay it.

Anyone check out Evil West, which is Flying Wild Hog's new game. I've seen it compared favourably to a PS2 title. No open world, no live service, no loot, just 16 levels of playing as vampstomper58.

No open world, no live service, no loot, just 16 levels of playing as vampstomper58. I’d like to hear about this as well. I saw a couple videos showcasing the gameplay a few months back and the style of the combat along with the sound design really caught my attention. I’d love to know how the combat feels according to goons, as well as how it evolves throughout the game. I’ve heard the levels and story are completely linear as well, which is fine by me. To paraphrase a youtuber I listen to, the game isn’t trying to change the world, it just picks out a few things it wants to be great at and it pours all its energy into executing those things as competently as possible. Again, that sounds fine by me, but I’d like to know from anybody here if it feels like that has been accomplished. GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Nov 23, 2022 |

I'll post this again since I have beaten all the current content and can't wait for more. Insect Storm at half off, $5, is a steal if it looks good to you. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1999170/Insect_Swarm/ You play as a ship and can transform in to a mech to kill thousands of disgusting bugs with a variety of weapons. I just love how it looks and plays. It is localized despite the video and screen shots. Rusty fucked around with this message at 04:01 on Nov 23, 2022 |

I am going to add my voice to this minority. Origins has some really great stuff going for it and to me felt way more cohesive than City, while still having some fantastic setpieces and boss fights.
