I played some Last Epoch and the more I play it the more I'm impressed by the depth of it's skill builds. It does a lot of things I really liked about Diablo 3 but better.

I really appreciate how clear it is which abilities are affected by the various stats when you look at them in the skill menu, it makes it a lot easier to make your own build as you go without having to wonder if something scales with something else.

Yeah. Also skills interact with other skills in interesting ways! Diablo 3 is the only other Diablo-like that I've seen that does that.

I don't know why anyone hasn't attempted something like D:OS's elemental interactions in an ARPG. Let me shoot oil slicks to ignite or whatever. Would be really interesting in coop play.

Would be really interesting in coop play. If you want elemental interactions in an ARPG, you should check out Magicka. The magic system is based on elemental interaction (and chaos).

I loved Magicka; I should've said "Diablo-like" and not "ARPG" 🙃 edit: Weird, I know I played Magicka 2 but it's not in my Steam library.

haha what posted:lego rock raiders owned, but i have no idea how id even go about playing that these days There's almost certainly a fansite out there listing the extensive, arduous steps to get the original functioning on modern hardware. There's also a fan-made remake floating around if you mainly want the gameplay over anything else.

Is there any way to take a screenshot of the steam dashboard? Not in game. I reached a milestone time on a game and want to take a picture of it. I know I can just use printscreen but I feel having it on my steam account would mean it'd be easier to not lose. I don't think there is a way

I'm having a really hard time with this Volcanic Glacier map in Terra Nil. Can't seem to get my lava flows aligned well to build rocks in good positions to get all the flaura biomes setup and such. Good thing, I like a bit of a challenge, but wtf I've restarted like 4 times because I run out of resources lol.

I'm looking at Sifu... if I very much enjoy DMC and Sleeping Dogs but deeply dislike parry/counter-heavy combat like Sekiro and Wo Long, is this a good decision? Footage of the gameplay looks rad, but reviews talking about counters and frustratingly tight combo timing have me worried.

Sifu is really good and also almost entirely about either parrying or dodging using the parry timing so I would say it's a bad decision.

fit em all up in there posted:https://www.humblebundle.com/games/best-boomer-shooters-bigger-and-boomier?partner=nintendeal That's a good-rear end bundle of boomer shooters. Nightmare Reaper - S-tier. Normally $25, 94% on steam. Deadlink - Early Access haven't played. Normally $20, marked down to $16 right now. 92% on steam. Graven - Early Access B-tier. Normally $25, 69% on steam. The overall score for Graven is trending up as they patch and improve the game. The update they pushed out last October really helped. Game kinda sucked before that update. Seems like a long way to go before launch, though. Wrath: Aeons of ruin - Early Access B-tier. Normally $25 , 81% on steam. I'll be honest, I'm not sure if this game is ever going to come out of early access. The update from last fall is that it will leave EA in "Spring 2023" but we'll see. Forgive me father - C-tier. Normally $20, 86% on steam. I'm not a big fan of this game, but it's worth a shot. Viscerafest - Early Access , no idea on scoring. Normally $15, 91% on steam. This has been on my wishlist for a while The citadel - A-tier. Normally $15, 94% on steam. Hell yeah this game loving rules and more people should play it. Game is a little janky on the technical side, though. Impaler - No idea. Normally $3, 95% on steam. Looks cool? Came out in December so I missed this one completely. About $150 worth of games for $18

Last year I paid 11€ for a Best of Boomer Shooters bundle that had Dusk, Amid Evil, Project Warlock, Ion Fury, HROT, and some others. That's a really amazing selection for a ridiculous price. Now the new best of Boomer Shooters bundle has the Citadel, its three best reviewed games are roguelites (which likely means no proper level design), and it costs 17€. Meh.

Yeah, the best thing in that bundle is probably Nightmare Reaper and that's really divisive. I'm a huge boomer shooter fan and couldn't get into it, it's just so cluttered and chaotic.

I can't speak to the rumors of whether the author copy pasted some other anime gore porn to make this game, but if they didn't, then that means they just drew their own original anime gore porn. Hopefully this answers the question as to why it's surprising this got included in a Humble Bundle, and puts to lie NicheGamer's agenda and framing of it as "this is just evil harassment of creators because the SJWs want to censor their pure japanese vision!"

If y'all want to play a good anime FPS go play SHOGO Mobile Armor Division. It's by Monolith, the Blood/No One Lives Forever/FEAR/Shadow of Mordor guys. And it has totally normal gore!

Oh bugger off, anime girls heads making faces on the giblets is nothing like Doom's stuff. The defense of Citadel inevitably becomes either "I steadfastly refuse to look at clearly rendered screenshots and see what's there" and/or "I'm so inured to anime that this is all unremarkable".   Nothing sexual about this lovingly rendered navel, no sir! e;f,b also edit to spoiler, that's a good call.

Nowhere did I defend the gore in my posts or tell people they are wrong in their opinions. If people get red flags from it then that's fine. I get it. I'm glad people are sharing their opinion and perspectives and I freely acknowledge that the niche gamers article sucks rear end for a whole host of reasons. Maybe the gore filter helps some folks because in my opinion there is a good game in there that is worth playing. People can disagree with me. I got super, super grossed out by that scene from the Resident Evil 3 remake but I'm not attacking people for liking that game or enjoying Resident Evil. Telling me to bugger off is pretty aggro for no reason

I only played a little bit of it and am waiting on the full release to dive back in, but I thought it was alright. But y'know, "merely" alright - the basic gameplay experience is very fun, but the game's attempts at being bigger than the moment to moment stuff fall kinda flat.
