tildes posted:I have a steam question- someone managed to get into my steam account and change the password/was in the process of selling my inventory for whatever reason. My email did get hacked, so plausibly they could have gotten the password there. I’m a little confused how they would have gotten through Steam Guard tho (I have the mobile app for authentication). Is it just that when you have access to someone’s email they can use that instead of the Steam guard app for 2FA? Basically I just want to be sure this doesn’t indicated people somehow have access to my phone or smth. The account itself is recovered and I changed the password etc. I believe as a way to recover your Steam account in case you lost your phone with the app on you can ask support to activate back 2FA via email, which your hacker probably did posing as you, what with having access to your email.

Schwarzwald posted:That's a Mother 3 enemy. I should really play this. There is a fan attempt at creating an N64 version of Mother 3, that will be playable on an N64, but I don't think it will ever go anywhere. The people working on it don't seem to really have an idea of how they want to make the game and don't want to use the GBA version as a basis for inspiration.

gently caress it, why not. Even if AitD has significant mental cachet for me it’s mostly bad cachet so go wild.

Thanks for the advice folks! As it turns out upon review of my library, I already have a couple of these from over the years (Mechanicus, Battlefleet Gothic I, Space Marine are the notable 40k ones). So I guess for variety I'd be looking between BattleSector, the DoWs, the Total Warhammers, and maybe one of the Tide games. Realistically, since I had those other ones buried away and never completed them, I'm not going to buy as much as I thought I would, but since Liberte was a bust, I will probably grab at least one or two.

The 7th Guest posted:so uh... this is a thing It already gets points for, AFAIK, being the first loving game since the very original to have Emily Hartwood as a protagonist. Edward Carnby was invented as a backup protagonist in case people couldn't get over the shock and horror of playing as a woman in nineteen ninety whatever. He has no direct connection to the events of the first game and is actually just some rear end in a top hat who broke in to rob the mansion, but oops all ghosts and Cthulhu. Nonetheless, this led to the entirety of the rest of the franchise to star Edward Carnby, gormless white guy. Canonically, James Mcaffrey's infamous "I don't have your stone and gently caress you anyway" over the top Carnby from that reboot is actually literally the same dude from the old trilogy, who's immortal for some loving reason. It's loving daft and it drives me insane.

Alternatively, even more funnily, those of us dumb enough to have bought the original spend the next forty years getting a new Cube World Steam entry every few years. All terrible, of course.

Oh. Well, expectations tempered then. ----- Also this thread moves drat fast, from the past few pages: Dumb Video game trends: Remember when everyone scrambled to release their own XCOM clone? Gears of War, Mario, etc. WH40K sale: Mechanicus is worth the five bucks, but just don't expect to finish the campain before you accidentally break the balance and get bored with your OP dudes. Enjoy the amazing music, pour a glass of wine and drink in that moody setting. DoW: The first has aged a bit, and the second has zero replay value as you go through the exact same missions with a different race. Both are merely "ok" nowadays.

Tiny Timbs posted:I don’t really think “extraction game” is some big craze. Tarkov is popular with the kind of people who play ArmA, and DMZ is an also-ran game mode in CoD. Maybe Marathon will blow it up, I don’t know, but it kinda feels like studios are just fishing for something new rather than responding to demand. what i loved about Marathon as a old school fan was the neat writing of two AI having a poo poo fit and using humans as pawns fighting in a intergalatic war that sometimes included aliens if those poor sods got in the middle of it. This on the other hand is a loving pvp only extraction shooter

I would say overall it's Very Good to Extremely Good, like way beyond what its price suggests. There are a lot of thoughtful and methodical systems in place. For older gamers (40+ crowd) I feel like it's overall a very solid modern take (and really better in every way) of Crusader: No Remorse. I got stuck, and need to get back to it, but ... I truly loved it until that point. I just suddenly felt really underpowered at a particular choke-point. And I'm ADD as gently caress so I just didn't try to stubbornly stick through it.

The only thing I can say about The Ascent is that it has an impressively detailed world (there's a youtube video where someone has a modded camera angle that lets them fly freely around the map, and it would be an impressive first person game, they didn't skimp on assets and none of them seem designed to only look good from the game's pre-set angle) and it really wants to showcase it, so there are regular very long segments where all you do is run from Point A to Point B while looking at the scenery. At least with the early missions before I refunded it, there was literally several minutes of backtracking through the hub zone between every mission. It seemed okay outside of that but my ADHD can't handle lots of backtracking through the same environment.

And yeah, can't recommend it enough if you were ever into the old DOS Origin Crusader games. It's that aesthetic, but so much better realised, with really tight modern twin-stick gameplay/controls. edit2: I also used Xbox Gamepass to play it teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 03:31 on May 26, 2023 |

The original Alone in the Dark games were hugely influential on the survival horror genre, but they have been thoroughly surpassed, and there's absolutely no reason to revisit them.

I played it coop and loved it, and that was around launch with lots of little glitches Like a B or A tier game that punches outside its weight class visually (like way outside) not a revelation in gameplay or story, but dripping with atmosphere, and satisfying gun shoots depending on what parts matter to you, easy pick or skip - I'm not sure you can get to the more fun gear and encounters inside the refund window but you could at least see if it feels good to you out of the gate

The Ascent is very very pretty, and good enough that I don't regret my time with it, though I'm not likely to replay it. And I did get through the game, except not the DLC campaign because that started crashing on me regularly. It has some difficulty spikes, and weapons can end up feeling largely static once you find something that works because it doesn't have Diablo-style randomized loot. You're still going to move up to better weapons as it goes along, but if someone drops the Model X Shotgun, it'll always be the Model X Shotgun. You also get to spend upgrade components to permanently improve the stats of a type of weapon, so even if you sell a gun it'll still have the upgraded stats if you find or buy another one (every Model X Shotgun is now a +1 weapon in your hands). And you get a ton of upgrade components to spend pretty freely. Powers are also swappable gear. Once you find a gear and power setup that works for you, you'll probably hang on to it for a long time.

Her run was more puzzle oriented than Edwards, who really is a gormless gently caress. David Harbour and Jodie Comer are lightning hot career wise too so this must've cost them a mint.
