Mindblast posted:Just got the Rainworld dlc and noticed a few odd things. The mod menu is built into the game now, and yeah it's normal for the dlc to come like that. Don't know what's up with your Steam controller thing. With Gourmand, you can craft items together by holding up and grab while carrying something different in each hand. Like right away you can make a lantern to help with getting through the area you start in. I'm a big fan of smashing together firecracker plants and rocks to make grenades. If you have two different edible items in your hands you'll eat them together for bonus food pips. As far as goals, you can work on filling out the list of ingredients above your food pips. It's a pre-set list of exotic flavors the Gourmand wants to sample. It'll reveal the next one in the list as a hint, but you're free to find and eat them out of order. It's like an optional objective, but you do get something for finishing it. If you want a more concrete objective: start with Five Pebbles, like usual. E: maybe make sure you've got Playstation style controls set in the bottom right corner of the options menu. Also don't forget you can cough up a random item by holding grab w/o something stored in your stomach. Find a popcorn plant and go nuts imo lets hang out fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Jan 23, 2023 |

Today, to my shock, I discovered that Dark Devotion, Death's Gambit: Afterlife and Vigil the Longest Night aren't the same game. Despite having very similar art styles, being in the same genre, and having similarly wonky stories. Has anyone else played them?

GameSpot: 5 out of 10quote:Exposition regularly cuts into the experience, however. Frey and Cuff quip a lot, and though Cuff does have a few humorous one-liners and insightful commentary on the world of Atheia over the course of the story, Frey...does not. Frey is one of the weakest parts of Forspoken. IGN: 6 out of 10 quote:Forspoken is a remarkably generic RPG – from its bland story to its lifeless open world. Shacknews calls the story "terrible", NPR says the game is "uninterested in its Black protagonist, and at worst resentful of her". And App Trigger, the currently top positive review on metacritic, calls it "a genuine story of humanity".

16 hours...what's the shortest "open world" game you've seen guys? I guess technically No More Heroes at 13.5 and Brutal Legend at 12 were my shortest OW games. quote:Before I wrap up, let’s spare a word for Frey, a notionally Black protagonist who joins a growing trend in media of putting Black people in worlds where race is inconsequential. Except the game is very insistent that Frey is a New Yorker, mysterious birth or no, spending her entire life up until this point growing up in our decidedly nonfantasy world, where Blackness is not a nonfactor. Regrettably, Frey’s identity is thinly written and awkwardly deployed, as the story leans not only on stereotypical narratives but trauma as a plot device. I dont really understand this paragraph, should there have been characters yelling slurs at her? Maybe people just wanna be a black lady and run around in a game i dunno. Like I know a lot of people who like Dragon age because you can be gay in it, and AFAIK there's literally no fucks given by any NPC except for like, one in the entire franchise...I don't think the story would be better if you randomly got beer bottles thrown at you from moving cars like I have

15-20 hour main story is pretty common for open world games (Just Cause, Arkham, Far Cry, old AssCreeds etc). Most of them double that playtime with distractions, of course. Shortest that I can think of is Prototype 2 with about 10 hours.

Dragon's Dogma is pretty short. It even has a built-in speedrun mode, and I think I finished that casually within a couple hours.

https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1617532717045846017 In other, hopefully better-written news, Trackmania 2020 is finally coming to Steam in a bit over a week after a couple of years in the uPlay and EGS wilderness. Granted, it'll still require the uPlay client like most of Ubi's Steam release so god only knows how it'll handle on the Deck, but hey, it's there!

current Rain World status because idk where else to post and I'm really annoyed: goddamn overseer did it to me again this time i'd just found my way from the shoreline to the shaded citadel, whereupon I got extremely lost in the horrible dark and got eaten several times, until the overseer popped up again... and led me back to Industrial Complex instead of the next area! So now I've got to run back through, somehow find 4 food along the way, then figure out how the hell I get that little shithead pointing me in the right direction how this game remains compelling when it foists this poo poo on me I'll never quite know

I was just glancing at my finished games, and i only put 10.5 hours into Mirror's Edge Catalyst. I definitely didn't 100% it, but I didn't stick just to the necessary missions. God I want an actual good Mirror's Edge.

Volte posted:Speedrun mode lets you keep all your gear and portcrystals from a previous save file so you can just warp directly to the quest objectives, use your pre-stocked 100 blast arrows and endgame gear to instantly kill everything, and get out. There's no way you could beat the entire game starting from a fresh save file in a couple of hours without some major speedrunning routing and optimization. The Any% WR is still over an hour and that's highly optimizaed. Ah poo poo, I forgot that it let items carry over. I just remember being able to buy the arrow that let's you one-shot the final boss. The sequel's my most anticipated game right now. I hope some info about it comes out soon.

Rinkles posted:Do you mean it was removed from your account? That's very rare, iinm. No it's still in my account, but it looks like it was removed from all public listings because, I don't know, ubisoft is poo poo. The steam page has been wiped. I'm inquiring about any possible heirs to the crown of the grandmaster edition because It just looks old as hell and I'd like a chess board with a few more pixels on it. Steam is dead set on loading a bunch of lovely unique chess games like sex chess, or chess with a card game thrown in top of it when I use the search, so I figured I'd just ask around instead of relying on steams internal search.

Chess Ultra is kinda pretty. I suck at chess though, no idea if the AI is worth a poo poo for actual chess players. Or if the feature set is up to par.
