*unless you are in australia, in which case the bundle refuses to exist e: it seems Zombie Party and Void Invaders don't have an AUD price set

There's a couple of stinkers here, but otherwise this is a pretty good bundle of indie gaming with a bunch of titles that didn't get proper attention. I don't need these, won't ever have the time to play them, yet I'm hearing the calling.

I stumbled upon Islands of Insight yesterday, an unusual open-world puzzle game from Lunarch Studios and Behavior Interactive and I want to tell you about it, because I think it is super cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oERzysRyg5M It is a game where you roam around ethereal fantasy landscapes on floating sky islands while solving lots of puzzles - they can be based around logic deduction, positional lines, viewpoints, finding hidden things in the environment, chasing after moving objects, etc. There is lots of variety and a ton to find in this early version and the game itself is very pretty on high settings. It's also multiplayer... uh, sort of. You can see other players as they're moving around and doing puzzles by themselves, but currently there is no interactivity beyond pointing out stuff to other players via pings and emotes. None of the puzzles themselves are designed for multiplayer, but I guess there's potential for such features to be added. I don't know if the devs have plans for that, right now the focus appears to be on solo play. There's also no chat feature (I suppose this might be a positive). Then there's character progression. You gain levels for doing things and earn points that you can either spend on cosmetics or a skill tree. Some skills seem useful (you unlock a double jump early on) but others appear to be mostly bonuses or assists, I didn't go through all of it. I think you can also unlock flying at some point? All in all, it is an odd thing, but I enjoyed the two hours I spent with it yesterday - if you like a chill collectathon exploration where you're constantly finding new stuff, this might be for you! Number go up, but without shooting or killing anyone! Woo! The devs have been doing a two-week open playtest, which ends tomorrow (September 21st) - so if you want to check the game out, now is your chance. I don't know when there will be another test/demo, nor is there any release date. Finally: The game supports controllers but it is very basic right now - menus won't work, only regular gameplay. The button prompts are also broken, but otherwise it works (mostly) fine.

anilEhilated posted:Is there a story or is it just freeform puzzling? It's an alpha so I don't really know if there will be much of a story, but there is lore and they call it a "campaign". There's crystals you can find that give you some exposition, but nothing in the way of actual characters or cutscenes AFAIK.

Fatty posted:The First Descendant started a beta yesterday. It's good fun, like a Korean version of Destiny/Warframe. Loot system's solid and eventually intuitive (modifications added to weapons count for every copy of that weapon you get, so you don't need to shift them over/redo the skin/color).

the Islands of Insight game test doesn't have an inverted mouse option, so that's an instant no from me. Doesn't help that the first seconds of the game had sub-30fps (Yes, I know it's a playtest but still)

I'm gonna give The First Descendent credit for having a status effect titled simply "Laundry." Really haven't all of us had Laundry inflicted on us at some point or another?

It seems to just be a resists decrease which isn't super funny tbh but I really like just naming one that E: The character's overall schtick is too apply Laundry to everyone and then drown them in a portable death bubble which sucks them in if they have Laundry Orv fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Sep 20, 2023 |

Is anyone seeing weird stuff happening with steam reporting play time? A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a LOT of games I hadn't touched in years were saying I had ~20-60 minutes played in the last two weeks. I was worried my account was compromised or something like that, but the 'last played' date on those games looked right, and convinced me it was just some kind of display bug. I bought Like a Dragon the other day, installed it, but haven't launched it yet, and it's saying I have 93 minutes of play time. Last played says March 19. I didn't own the game until two days ago. I did set up family sharing for my friend's son, but I'd expect his playtime to show up on his account, not mine. This does seem more like a bug to me than someone's been playing games on my account. In the 18 years I've had a steam account, I've never once changed the password, so I probably oughta do that, although I'm afraid that when I do, I'll immediately forget the new one like I do with all my other accounts. So yeah, anybody else seeing stuff like this? Should I be worried? Edit: I think with LaD, I did buy it and refund it in March but had forgotten. I booted it up after posting this and there was a save file there. The other games claiming I've been playing them when I know darn well I haven't is still super weird, though. skeletronics fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Sep 21, 2023 |

I’ve seen my playtime decrease on Void Stranger after a play session but I just assumed that was some meta fuckery from the game.

I'm not noticing it now, but it's definitely been an issue at some point in the recent past. I've been on the Steam beta client, which might have something to do with it.

ShadowMar posted:last time i played PW3, the game didn't have controller support and the last story mission would consistently crash for me, would not call that "fine" tbh (and many steam reviews complain about this crash too, its not my computer) I just started 3 this week and while it's not the worst thing I've seen, this definitely has Weird Mistakes in it so far. The controller is bound identically to what I run in everything else but it's set the menu forward/back keys to square and triangle, and cutscenes, even on the highest settings, are doing some weird poo poo.  Game plays pretty fuckin' good though and it's not like I need the scenes to remind me what the story is edit: lol, lmao, what the gently caress is with the cutscenes in this thing  The text is crisp so it's not applying the blur universally, what the hell did they do to this claw game handjob fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Sep 21, 2023 |

I’ve found it’ll adjust play times for games in sleep mode after you wake it up to remove the time in sleep

Highlighting some bundles I've been seeing around with some good entries within them: Prestige Collection: Deathloop, Mechwarrior 5, Thymesia, Afterimage, Nine Years of Shadows, Outward, Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Shadow of War, and more... That one above is probably the best of the lot, but the ones below are decent as well: Get Your Head In The Game VR: Grimlord, STRIDE, Demeo, I Expect You To Die 2, After the Fall, and more... Strike From Above: Top Down Stealth: Intravenous, Shadow Tactics, Mutant Year Zero, Serial Cleaners, and more... New Realms 2: Chop Goblins, Iron Lung, The Tarnishing of Juxtia, and more.... Killer Bundle 27: Sniper Elite 4, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts, Troublemaker, Red Faction Guerilla, Dreamscaper, Finding Paradise, and more... Platinum Collection: Soulstice, Yes Your Grace, Golden Light, Mind Scanners, Children of Morta, and more... Now go! Fill up your libraries with more games that are interesting enough to want to play but you never actually will! FutureCop fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Sep 21, 2023 |

The Kins posted:Kairosoft are discounting all their games and regretting all their life decisions with three "🥹 Kairosoft Games Are Made With Unity...🥹" bundles: This is both hilarious and depressing. Picked up pack 3, haven’t played a Kairosoft game in years but I’ll give them on spin on the deck for sure. Hope they can continue to release games.
