Death Stranding is actually a game about building infrastructure and engaging in side quests to help build more infrastructure.

Its incredibly satisfying when you finally have a building and slingshot network going through an area that was almost impossible to traverse safety the first time you approached it.

Keep on keeping on 👶👍

To finally cap off this chain of poorly received AAA beat em ups, I'm gonna try The Avengers again since it's only $8.00. Last time I got it at $16 and I refunded after crasihng in my first mission from trying to open Iron Man's passive abilities menu so hopefully this time around goes better.

Avengers is extremely bland with the most "who gives a gently caress?" story possible and the main character has stretchy powers, oh boy.

What's up with the goon hateboner for God of War? I've never played one and it looks vaguely interesting.

I really liked GoW, haven't tried GoW2 yet though. If you like story driven games and exploring poo poo you'll like the game.

I refunded ds1 years ago after trying it and just bought elden ring. What's the key to success when you suck at video games? I haven't played any of the other souls games. I'm thinking worst case I can find a mod to make it easier if I'm really bumping up against it but want to give it a fair shot first.

This is from a few pages back, but the number one thing that made me enjoy souls games is just LEVEL THE gently caress OUT OF YOUR HEALTH. Being alive that little bit longer makes everything better.

I loved GoW 2018 and Ragnarok. I think they could've trimmed both a bit without making them worse but overall very good games.

If you think the first god of war is plodding don't play the second one. The pacing is a disaster in that game.

Are we talking GoW Ragnarok or GoW 2 for the PS2? GoW 2 for the PS2 is one of the best adventure games of the generation. The art direction of that game was simply superb.

Hope you all have a great day enjoying whatever you may celebrate. Thanks for keeping the Steam thread a solid place over the years. I wouldn’t have even heard of half the games I play if not for all of you. As you buy and gift games this year, be sure to actually play some of them with friends, family, or yourself!

So far I think GoW:Rag is better as a video game with the additional variety in locations, enemies and bosses but GoW18 had a better narrative, being more intimate and character focused.

Is the director's cut upgrade for Death Stranding worth buying even if I'm otherwise allergic to spending any money in the Epic Store?

cult of the lamb makes you do some very mean things to get all of its achievements but i'm probably going to do them because i've sunk 10 hours into this over the last 3 days

that's a level of engagement that carries you all the way to the finish line

Always see everything.
I played only the Director's Cut but my understanding is using the floating carrier on ziplines is an addition that comes with that, and I'd argue that alone is worth the 5 bucks. I think the Maser Gun is also a DC addition, which greatly reduces the headache of dealing with early game MULE camps (I hate the Bola Gun).

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Yeah, every Souls game treats stats a little differently. In DS1 Endurance was easily the godking of all your stats, while Resistance was literally useless. A lot of people in Elden Ring didn't level their HP because that wasn't such a big deal in DS3, but in ER it is a very big deal. The best part is the stat increases are somewhat scaled to your total level, so your first few levels the increase is very small, but once you get into the 20s and 30s you're getting like +35hp per level.

Definitely Ragnarok, actual GoW2 is easily the best game in the OG franchise.

I doubt anyone else is playing this game but I need to post a picture of this level because what the gently caress



The burner arrangements repeat so there must be some specific way of cooking each layer of sausages which works for all of them. Absolute bastard of a puzzle game, definitely worth it for $6.

Stephen's Sausage Roll, currently on Steam for 80% off. It has no tutorial and immediately starts making you feel stupid but it's amazing if you stick with it.

I'm playing Pentiment now after getting it gifted on Steam for christmas, and it's really intriguing. Just managed to finish the first day and I can't help but feel some kind of a heavy, foreboding sense of doom which makes me second guess every dialogue decision I make, no matter how innocent they seem.

I guess I'll have to see if faffing about talking to everyone instead of going to work on time will catch up to me eventually.

The trick to this level is that it's both possible and way easier than you think.

Boss, have you heard of twin telepathy? They say that when one twin is hurt the other can feel it, even across continents. Well I felt it when you got my sister killed and I haven't stopped feeling it now that she's in the afterlife. I'm going to get revenge for my sister or my name isn't Atlantica Ocean-Cortez.
