cdkeys is a "these cheap polish keys happen to activate in the US" site and not a "this user bought 10k keys with a stolen credit card" site like G2A so you won't have any issues with the former consequently cdkeys' inventory has gone way down since more devs have gotten smart on region restrictions

I really enjoyed Endless Legend, but couldn't get too into Endless Space 2 when I tried it. I'm interested in Humankind, but the mixed reviews give me pause. Anybody have impressions on it? What's it do well, how does it fail, etc?

I end up trying to rebuy stuff I already own nearly every sale already.

This time last year someone mentioned Everett Kaser's games and since then I've bought all of them and spent hundreds of hours playing them. Sometimes I end up just compulsively playing them without really wanting to. Complete addiction. gently caress you, past game-mentioning poster. Seriously, His Last Bow is unreasonably good. I love these ms paint looking windows 95 freeware cd rear end games.

IMO Amplitude's biggest strength is their surreal brand of French weirdness in world building. They create fascinating worlds and fill them with fascinating inhabitants and stories. Their 4x games themselves have always been competent and fine (and Endless Legend was even Good) but rarely anything more than lukewarm mechanically, it's the vibrant and imaginative worlds that drive them along. So it's just really strange that for Humankind they chose to go with a historical, grounded-in-reality game about combining modular pieces of real, existing Human cultures on Earth. And it went about as well as could be expected. e: Which is pretty much the same sentiment echoed in that thread

I'm getting real mad cause bad at NFS Heat. I suck at driving, so I knew what I was signing up for, but my lizard brain still can't help but get frustrated. It's also weird to be drifting with nothing but the gas pedal (you initiate a drift by letting go, turning, and then hitting the gas pedal again when still turning).

I'm replaying Rain World with the new patch and it truly is a singular experience. the way the lizards (and other very freaky things later on) behave is so unlike any other game that you can't help but ascribe intelligence to them. they should have updated karma gates though because its too frustrating to go through a gate, die and then have to do a food gathering loop to level up enough to get through the gate again. and if you die during that loop you just want to turn the game off

Believe there's options in the new remix menu to either make all gates work like they do for Monk (unlock once and then stay unlocked for good) or just disable karma checks completely.

I'm giving Rain World another shot, ty thread. They really did pull of some cool poo poo with the animations/emergent behavior -- I was cornered by a lizard, completely hosed with no escape route, but then ANOTHER lizard crawled out of a pipe, saw the first one, and immediately tackled it and they started fighting. I was able to climb up on some pipes and managed a few tricky jumps to get past their dogpile and on to the next room. Very tense, very cool!

I quite like it: like you say it feels very polished, fast-paced and exciting to play and has a lot more fun verticality, guns, movement, and cool bosses compared to other shooters like Gunfire Reborn, though I've only played a little bit because it's in early access and I noticed that there were making some big design changes here and there (stats affecting guns, health management, etc) so I wanted to hold off for the complete package. As a side note, if you're on Humble Choice it was part of the November 2022 package (probably not the case for you, but you never know).

Morter posted:Any thoughts on Roboquest? Even though i'm not a fan of roguelikes, it looks polished and fun compared to the other roguelike shooters I've picked up and dropped in my library. I cannot get into it after 8 hours of trying over several months, I'm not really sure exactly what it is and I know a lot of people consider it the "best feeling" of the FPS roguelites but I guess I just have different tastes because it's the worst-feeling of the ones I've played IMO; it's floaty and weightless, the guns have no punch and are very unexciting, none of the enemies or areas are particularly memorable. But I think my main complaint about it is that it's one of those FPS where you're expected to be bunnyhopping and jumping on bounce pads (with like full air control I think? I can't remember) and moving at max speed constantly and that's just never fun to me in a FPS. There's also an obnoxious amount of dialog/text in it for this kind of game (I believe most of that was added by the newest patch a few days ago) I've beat runs of it before (and even had metaprogression maxed out earlier in EA when there wasn't much to it) but they are disgustingly long and I start hating playing it like halfway through the first area (of... 5? that get much longer as you go?) It's just like the most generic-feeling game imaginable to me, I suppose. e: People on the Steam forums say a run takes about 45 minutes but in my experience it feels more like a 3-4 hour slog that takes place over 45 minutes. But TBF I have that problem with other FPS roguelites, every time I get to the snow level in Gunfire Reborn I groan and alt-f4 despite really enjoying that game for the first ~20-30 mins of a session. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Jan 21, 2023 |

You can also initiate it by tapping the e-brake while turning and accelerating, which is my preferred method. Best way to escape cops are jumps, you can pause and go to the map and route to the nearest jump and hit that and lose them pretty easily. Croccers posted:You can change that in the options. I like Unbound a little more than Heat but I think I'm in the minority. IMO the music in Unbound is a lot better than previous games and the day/night cycle stuff is handled more interestingly. Heat does have a pretty map though, especially the view when racing down the mountain toward the city, that was breathtaking the first time I saw it the morning with the sun coming up after some rain. Whatever you do, avoid Need For Speed 2016 like the plague though. The other NFS games up through Hot Pursuit (2010) still hold up and look pretty good except Rivals, which is locked at 30fps and feels like poo poo. There's a 60fps workaround but if you ever drop below 60fps the physics go to poo poo because they're affected by framerate. Always invest in the highest tier of radar jammer you can afford for your main vehicle, it increases detection time and lets you just blow past cops 90% of the time. Though if you are coming up on cops and have heat it's just as easy to ram them at full speed and one shot them if they're solo. Helicopters I don't hide from once detected, I just get on a freeway and drive until they run out of gas, then ditch whatever cops are still tailing me if any, they don't last that long. Got into a racing kick recently and played through Unbound, Heat and Payback recently with a little bit of Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted. They fill a niche for me that Forza Horizons and Motorsports don't. Thank you for reading my NFS dissertation. RandomBlue fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Jan 21, 2023 |

It's like I have to unlearn everything. I like NFS's drifting tracks way better than equivalent in Forza. Forza just feels like I'm trying to randomly spin and slide around everywhere with no real goal except not breaking the "skill chain" whereas NFS actually has actual drifting tracks with a guided path and poo poo setup for you to drift through and it feels like you have some guidance and actual goals other than just "do poo poo randomly until you hit something or the skill chain timer expires then do that again". Though I generally don't like drifting in racing games, NFS Unbound and Heat are probably the first two racing games where I've enjoyed it once I got used to it.
