Mordja posted:Loved RDR2, but would playing the first game now feel like too much of a step back? Honestly, it holds up pretty loving well. I found my Xbox 360 in a closet during covid and plugged it all in just to play RDR (and Viva Pinata), and it was a ton of fun. Just a little aged, and kinda...streamlined? compared to RDR2. edit: I am famously easy to please by thread standards though, so, handscales Squiggle fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Aug 7, 2023 |

Mordja posted:Loved RDR2, but would playing the first game now feel like too much of a step back? It would not feel like much of a step back at all. The controls as a cover shooter are basically the same. It has little to none of the cowboy sim- systems, but the basic cover shooter gameplay is nearly identical between the two games. Cougars can kill you just as fast. If you enjoyed RDR2 you will probably enjoy RDR1, the big difference is in the tone of the game. Not to say it's not overall somber like RDR2, but it has a lot more, I'm not sure of the right words to use, maybe silliness, sometimes juvenile, also meanness, that makes it closer in tone to the GTA games than RDR2. edit: i cant remember what cowboy-sim systems there are. I think you can feed and take care of your horse and catch new ones, but I dont think you do things like clean your gun or have the crafting options of RDR2.

With Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, is the top down overhaul they keep touting going to affect the vanilla game for those who don’t buy it too?

Bad Seafood posted:I somehow missed this but Potato Flowers in Full Bloom is on sale, and it's probably become my favorite dungeon crawler. It's a short and sweet 20-hour adventure with a cozy little diorama aesthetic and some deceptively thoughtful mechanics. The story's pretty simple (if you care about that sort of thing), but the presentation's charming enough. The world's in a bad way and your patron thinks potato seeds will save civilization. Go get 'em, tiger.

Apparently the delay is caused by a misunderstanding between platforms trying to parse the Dave Meltzer character going,"So so so so so so so so so" as a looping dialogue glitch, as opposed to intentional writing. You hate to see it.

Go get 'em, tiger. Currently playing Grimrock 2: would this be similar to something like that? Or is this more of an Etrian Odyssey jam? Maybe Darkest Dungeon-ish? I know it's turn-based combat so it's not exactly like Grimrock, sure, but wondering what the general vibe is: any story at all or nothing, customizable party, are there puzzles and other activities, is it back-and-forth expeditions and supply logistics or just keep pushing forward, simple combat or complex, grindy or straight-forward, hand-crafted or random-generated, linear or multi-path, etc. Well, I'll keep an eye on it nonetheless. EDIT: TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Seconding this one. It's a nice little dungeon crawler that strips out all of the bullshit and boils the rest down to its essence of meaningful party building, highly tactical battles, and exploring for secrets. I was pleasantly surprised by it, and for anyone on the fence, there's a pretty meaty demo that lets you bring your save into the full game. Oh ok that mostly answers that, and I guess I can just check out the demo and such after Grimrock is beaten! FutureCop fucked around with this message at 03:52 on Aug 8, 2023 |

CS is one of the few fps games that doesnt set it off for me. try playing in the lowest window size and work your way up?

It's not an overly challenging game, but it has friction, and some solid boss fights. The whole thing feels like it was deliberately designed to mitigate the busywork aspect of a lot of dungeon crawlers while keeping the crunch.

There are bugs and stuttering issues and the like, but given how complex the game is there's honestly much less of it compared to similar games smaller in scope from AAA developers.

There are some rare, but pretty major issues with some of the companion quests and their triggers that should be be fixed in an upcoming patch. There's also an issue where one of the companions will randomly vanish forever if they're not in your party.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:To my understanding it’s technically coming to Switch and PS4; it being playable on PS5 will be due to backwards comparability. But all of the news articles on it are specifically mentioning the two older consoles which, as many are already pointing out, is kind of weird it's a bit weird but maybe the hardware on these machines are simply the best understood. if the performance is good on the switch I will almost certainly get it, just so I can play cowboy wherever I want.
