Cross-Section posted:PC Game Pass really is a mixed bag in that respect. I know that the FO/TES Bethesda games are not nearly as moddable as their Steam counterparts because none of the utilities that hook into the game executable (ala SKSE) actually work. Starfield is likely to be in the same boat. My plan for Starfield is to go with Game Pass for the first playthrough and then wait for a steam sale to start modding it, since it'll take some time for the mod tools to get released and the dust to settle.

Mordja posted:I only played the tutorials and part of the first level of El Paso and my problem was that everything seemed way too constrained to get some good shootdodges in? Not helped by the incredibly low ceilings, it just felt claustrophobic. Idk, I'll play more and see then. Yeeeaaaaah, so I finished the demo and El Paso really seems like a game at odds with its design. I played through that second level without ever shootdodging or even really using the slo-mo because nothing in it actually needs/benefits from the mechanic, so what you're left with is a pretty standard, indie third-person shooter with a whole lot of style. That's definitely the game's strongest point, the monster mash supernatural and the gritty, Paynelike VO (kudos to the dev, I think that's him doing it) although I will admit I'm not entirely sure how seriously I'm supposed to take all of its goofiness.

prime gaming added this week: Prey (GOG key) Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition (GOG key) Steamworld Dig 2 Revita Tandem: A Tale of Shadows Agatha Knife DKO: Divine Knockout (Epic key) also they've got more neo geo games: the super spy, over top, sengoku 2, soccer brawl, and top hunter. i think at least a couple of these were not on the neo geo minis. they also still have the SNK 40th anniversary collection as well The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Jun 23, 2023 |

Starfield strikes me as the game exactly not worth playing on GamePass, because I'll almost surely want to play it again in the future. So I'll just buy it now and enjoy it now as well as for years to come. I look to GamePass for things like Atomic Heart and Outer Worlds; games that I will clearly never wish to play a second time, so I'll pay MS  to rent it.But if you're one of those people who keeps a subscription to it throughout the year then that's different, but I subscribe to it at most twice a year (usually 0-1 times).

I enjoyed the Steamworld Build demo -- as someone whose brain is usually too smooth for this specific game style (build residences, fulfill needs, upgrade residences, fulfill more needs, all while juggling resources) it does a great job of both explaining things to me quickly and onboarding me fast. This is in comparison to something like Jumplight Odyssey which just tosses you into the deep end and has you sit through a thousand tutorials.

only a couple negatives i've seen so far. the build ui is a little bit rudimentary, whether on controller or kbm; you can at least copy subassemblies, but can't save them (only whole vehicles AFAICT), and there's no mirroring yet. it's workable, just a little awkward. so far at least the terrain is as same-y as you'd expect from the surface of Mars; though it's early days and i'm still a fan of the (are we still calling it cel-shaded?) art style so I give it a pass for the time being tl;dr: 11/10 would shove & roll a box around Mars then spend an hour trying to lift the box onto a shelf again Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Jun 23, 2023 |

at minimum I'd say it's worth the two-hour-"demo" to feel things out, yeah (e) one thing I didn't mention above is that you don't have an infinite lootbag of parts; you start with a few unlocked, with more unlocking as you complete missions. missions also reward currency that can be used to buy more of each unlocked part, but the economy of mission rewards vs part costs leans pretty miserly. maybe something that's going to be worked on more later or changes with future missions, idk. that said all i've had to buy thus far is a couple extra cheap connector pieces, which i probably wouldn't need if seeing asymmetry didn't make me twitch Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Jun 23, 2023 |

Ciaphas posted:this came out in EA yesterday so I bought in; I'd describe it as Snowrunner-meets-Besiege. kind of the same lego-ish assembly as Besiege on a large map full of point A->point B deliveries of awkward physics-enabled loads; so far i've seen an open stepladder, the pictured-above open-lidded box of oranges (each of which is physics-enabled), a huge steel I-beam, and a telescope mirror. cargo & rover don't seem to have durability or anything, you can upright your rover at any time, change the rover on the spot, and fast travel to any depot you've been to, so more forgiving and less demanding of time than SnowRunner; still sucks losing cargo off a cliff but at least you can pick it up again right away

mystes posted:If I haven't played snowrunner or besieged how hard is this kind of game? it looks neat but I don't want something that's like kerbel space program level difficult  the part pool is much smaller than ksp, and besiege if only by not having weaponry; and so far unlike snowrunner you don't have to worry about e.g. getting bogged down in mud or getting your third axle caught on a suspiciously-durable stick or whatever probably the most difficult challenges have been a couple cases of needing to place or orient the delivery in a particular way; for example that heavy steel i-beam I mentioned needed to be standing up on-end in the delivery zone. It doesn't have to stay upright for more than like a tenth of a second, though, you just need to get it in the bounding box, so often as not janky solutions are just as good as more reliable ones; when I got the i-beam in the right spot my rover was leaning upside down against it from the weight difference Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Jun 23, 2023 |

goferchan posted:Torchlight: Infinite would almost be good if it didn't have the mobile bullshit. It rips off a lot of Path of Exile mechanics in a way that makes them a little more sane and palatable -- the skill modifier system is really cool Yeah I was briefly intrigued by it because despite the aggressive Overwatch-esque Modern Game interface and it being a F2P mobile game, it had a glimmer of being the distilled down ARPG/MOBA-lite monstrosity I so desperately want. But then it looked like it devolves into the exact same "mow down hundreds of trash mobs effortlessly with increasingly screen-filling numbers to create an explosion of loot, 99% of which is useless" loop and if I really wanted that so bad I would just go back to D3. Also it's still a F2P mobile game and I'm not that big of a sucker.

I am glad to see that it's not like a "the mission fails if the thing hits the ground" sort of objective and you're not restricted as far as when you can alter your vehicle so you don't necessarily have to build a machine that can handle the whole delivery with the same vehicle design.

Have you played V Rising? Sounds close to what you're looking for as long as you're not scared off by some "survival game" elements (which, with some custom game settings tweaked to adjust for solo play, are not terribly oppressive)

Man, I am really bad at Mars First Logistics. I'm dumb and can't figure out how to make these things under the part cost constraints  The build menu is pretty frustrating though. It would be less annoying if the building was like kerbal where you could drag parts around and leave them detached. You have to copy sections then delete them to get the parts back then rebuild it if you want to move a part somewhere else. That kind of stuff can only get better over time so I really think this game has a lot of potential.

Satellite Rein is dang cool, but I'd give the tip to NOT try to purchase every "stealth" skill on every character asap, as it delays the truly fun parts until the 11th hour when you finally buy all the gun and go melt people. So for example the solider will have a "insulated arms" perk which allows him to punch out power circuits to allow anternate entry. You don't need ALL of those skills from EVERY character, and even if all the 'big guns' come later you're still allowed to buy combat skills and win at combat when trying to be discreet. Oh, and Satellite Rein is also commendable for having the BEST graceful failure system I've ever seen: if you to totally gently caress up, don't reload! as your dudes will respawn outside the facility within a few seconds and you can try again. Stops quicksave spam, thank god. It's a cool game, you should all go play Satellite Rein, the modern Syndicate game.

Might give that a look to see if it fills what you are looking for. I don’t know if it is really true, but Wikipedia says that Vigilante 8 on the consoles was a spin off series. I remember Vigilante 8 being a Twisted Metal clone that was fun for the time. No idea how well it holds up. Also probably not what you are looking for, as while I remember it having single player missions, they were still arena based, not road based.
