GreenBuckanneer posted:How is it different to DSP? DSP is a factory/automation game. Riftbreaker is more of an action/combat game with tower defense elements. There's no real logistics to worry about and instead you only need to focus on shoring up your defenses while maintaining a resource income and further increasing your research and power. You will shoot a *lot* of alien beasts. Combat is also incredibly lopsided, I've finished the game twice now and the weapon balance is completely rear end. Melee is pretty much unuseable outside of very early game.

The fist melee weapon pretty much lets you punch through everything on normal and hard. It does fall off on brutal but so does everything.

The Gripper posted:It's wonky even on controller but it at least doesn't affect gameplay too much. I think it's simulating moving the mouse and clicking on menus which is some weird poo poo and for me keeps making the cursor appear even if I move it offscreen. I tried Kb+M and people are right to complain about that for sure, it's really, really bad. The original Dark Souls port felt better. A big issue is that the PC port performance is just not great. I experienced major frame rate issues in the demo, which made combat much harder than it seems to be intended to be. I since found a fix that stabilized performance (using an external utility like Nvidia control panel to set max FPS to 59), and suddenly combat got way easier because my parries actually registered in time.

One more thing to remember is that with this engine you can't rely on VRR or anything like that either: if it's not running at the frame cap you've set (30, 60 or 120) it'll do what appears to be a frameskip to try and maintain speed, making for ridiculous amounts of judder. This happens in Nioh as well. If it makes you feel better it's pretty inconsistent on an Xbox Series X as well.

explosivo posted:The port is fine, definitely some performance issues/hitches but seems like it's a lot of complaints about the keyboard and mouse controls being unusable which, well.. Are these hitches exclusive to the full game? I played the demo and it ran really smoothly. EDIT: I think the massive whining about M&K on the reviews are probably because all the controller players are smart enough to play it on gamepass instead of spending AfricanBootyShine fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Mar 3, 2023 |

This is a smaller game (60 reviews) that's $3 right now. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1360270/Gem_Wizards_Tactics/ It's not in EA, it's good. You can push your enemies off the map. Push em around the tactical grid. Shove em down. My favorite game mechanic. My partner liked it but I didn't play it yet because it didn't have full controller support which maybe it does now. I'm excited to play this one. Also the classical classic Zeus (+poseidon) is five bucks. been meaning to play that but i doubt it'll play great on the Deck. https://store.steampowered.com/app/566050/Zeus__Poseidon/ Mescal fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Mar 3, 2023 |

It does seem like I'm having weirder graphical glitches on the full version like all the textures blinking white not infrequently. The demo was a little laggy at parts but I don't remember having this specific problem with it. Also feels like some of the areas in the full game are choppier than what was in the demo. The game's playable for me but it could be smoother.

Melee kiting is incredibly strong in Riftbreaker. You can easily solo entire waves with most melee weapons until the aliens get artillery units. The spear (which freezes and so slows) and the gloves are particularly effective. In my experience, most weapons are very effective when used correctly, but I didn't figure out how to use some weapons effectively until after several playthroughs.

System Shock Remake was supposed to start its closed beta today - and instead of giving each individual a single key, they somehow managed to upload a list of every single beta key to everyone. They quickly revoked all the keys, so now everyone is keyless again.

Mordja posted:Wait, why are they doing betas when they just put out a demo? It had a Kickstarter and they promised beta access, so they have to have a beta, even though it looks like the beta is only going to last a month or two before the retail release. Honestly, the development of this game has been a disaster, but the end product looks like it might have ended up good. Hopefully.

The 7th Guest posted:there is a character upgrade that increases your movement speed at least. it's still not super fast but it's better than nothing Ya I am read about that, I am just spamming the dash but even that has a cooldown and its quite short. Btw Atomic Heart has some of the worst get stuck in the map bugs I've seen. I've already had to restart 5-6 times if you dash or jump into a rubble you can get stuck on there.

It’s almost certainly a WB mandate to implement a multiplayer grindy loot numbers system and not Rocksteady inferring “this is what people want to see us follow the Arkham games with”

It's a shame, the movement (especially Boomerang's) actually looks like a lot of fun, and way better than Gotham Knight's seemed. It's just that it's also attached to another loot shooter.

Huh, y'know I don't really follow Anno at all, but Steam showing me that Anno 1800 is 75% off right now will probably be of interest to somebody here. Spring Cleaning will resume after I finish grabbing the latest stuff from the update of an idle game that I'm determined to maintain 100% in, even though it's mediocre.

Doesn't look like Battletech or Shadowrun, so there are going to be a lot of disappointed gamers unless it's really cool. Plus they said there won't be any news about Bloodlines 2, which would be disappointing if I had any expectations left for that game.
