Did that game have a demo? I swear I played the demo, but I don't see a link to it on Steam. Either way, cool, I imagine I'll have gotten bored with Disgaea in 11 days time  I need to stop buying so many games....

Sorry for being late on this. Here's what looks interesting to me in October. People are already discussing Diablo IV, THPS 1 & 2 and Disgaea 7, so no need to include those. Why the big gap between now and the 12th? Well, there's a Steam Next Fest next week. So some indies are probably keeping their releases out of that initial 48 hour window.  Old School (out now) - It's a new (?) MDickie game. I have no idea why the classroom is on fire, or why a student is holding up a car tire. Ooblets (out now) - the hyper-colorful life sim finally comes to Steam to only mild grumbling from bitter Steam reviewers.   Wargroove 2 (out now) - Advance Wars clone now has its Advance Wars 2. This one is co-developed by Robotality (Pathway) and has three campaigns in it. Thief Simulator 2 (out now) - I seem to recall people having janky fun with the first stealth-em-up.   Silent Hope (out now) - Takes the combat/setting of Rune Factory away from the farming, and adopts a roguelite structure. Battle Shapers (out now, Early Access) - A candy-coated FPS roguelite with a lot of mobility. One reviewer says "Roboquest with Doom Eternal mechanics".   Saltsea Chronicles (Oct 12) - Narrative CYOA by the developer of Mutazione. Lords of the Fallen (Oct 13) - Pretend the old one didn't exist. Mulligan!   Outpath (Oct 16) - Looks to be a first-person cubey take on Forager. Sonic Superstars (Oct 16) - The gang's all here! Christian Whitehead has already said the game is built on Sonic Mania's physics so this is the closest a modern Sonic Team game is gonna get to actually feeling like a decent 2D Sonic.   Wizard with a Gun (Oct 17) - What if Don't Starve Together had a lot more shooting in it? Well probably a lot less starving. Hellboy: Web of Wyrd (Oct 18) - The dev of West of Dead seems a natural fit for Mignola's high-contrast art.. the trailer way back when gave no explanation but I guess it's a roguelite?   Agatha Christie - Murder on the Orient Express (Oct 18) - If it's a Poirot game, you know it's Microids. Microids built a new studio in Lyon and this is their first production. The ABC Murders was actually decent, while the Poirot games by Blazing Griffin have had more mixed reviews... I guess we'll see where this one falls. Jackbox Party Pack 10 (Oct 19) - I don't like knowing this franchise has existed for 10 years now. Features Tee-KO 2 along with new games FixyText, Timejinx, Hypnotorious and Dodo Re Mi.   Gargoyles Remastered (Oct 19) - I legit do not know who asked for this but here's a remake of the SNES game Gargoyles?? Endless Dungeon (Oct 19) - It's finally coming out this time for real!   Cavern of Dreams (Oct 19) - 3D platformer inspired by and designed to look like the N64 classics. Forgive Me Father 2 (Oct 19, Early Access) - Sequel to last year's uneven but entertaining noir-Craftian FPS.   The 7th Guest VR (Oct 19) - By Vertigo Games (Arizona Sunshine, A Fisherman's Tale), it looks to make an actual legitimate puzzle adventure out of the skeleton of the original, with all new FMV actors/acting and new rooms/puzzles. Cattails 2: Wildwood Story (Oct 20) - The unofficial warrior cats life sim returns and I know a couple of goons will enjoy this one. Apparently the dev team is just a husband and wife?   Slay the Princess (Oct 20) - An all-new horror VN for this spooky month by Abby Howard (Scarlet Hollow). Noreya: the Gold Project (Oct 23) - It's a Metroidvania, I have to include it. You thought you'd make it through the whole month without one? Hahahahaha. Will have a demo at Next Fest.   Vengeance of Mr. Peppermint (Oct 23) - Might be more style than substance but I'll always give a shoutout to a game inspired by films like Oldboy and Lady Vengeance. Maybe don't be AS on the nose with the title next time, though. MGS Collection Vol 1. (Oct 24) - Colonel... they're milking it again.   Scene Investigators (Oct 24) - The developer of The Painscreek Killings wants to test your deductive noodle with these crime scenes and absolutely no hand-holding (also not a lot of interactivity either, at least based on the demo). Dark Envoy (Oct 24) - A 'guns and sorcery' RPG by the developer of Tower of Time, which looks to have more conventional RTWP combat (compared to ToT's odder wave-based battles) and online co-op.   Cities: Skylines 2 (Oct 24) - With SimCity long dead and buried this is basically the defacto kingpin in sims. Ripout (Oct 24, Early Access) - Stop me if you've heard this one before: a 3D Realms-published boomer shooter launching in Early Access! This one looks to have much less retro appeal, however, opting for a modern horror vibe.   Crymachina (Oct 24) - IDK if it will be any good, it probably won't be, but it's FuRyu and they always develop (or outsource) interesting messes. Ghostrunner II (Oct 26) - Did you know the sequel existed? Did you know it's already coming out? Did you know it's got a motorcycle in it this time?   JUSANT (Oct 31) - DON'T NOD tries their hand at the mountain climbing genre and it seems like it's going to be quite lovely. This Bed We Made (Nov 1) - A narrative game where you play a maid snooping on the tenants of a 1950s hotel and see what secret machinations they're getting up to. GREAT premise for a game.   Thirsty Suitors (Nov 2) - Do battle with your exes, not with fighting like Scott Pilgrim, but words and flirting. Robocop: Rogue City (Nov 2) - Teyon, developer of Terminator Resistance, hopes to bring that same "better than I expected" 7 out of 10 energy to a franchise that has been without a good game since.... actually has it had a good game at all? Like the original arcade game wasn't that great....   Star Ocean: The Second Story Remake (Nov 2) - It's that HD-2D look you know you love(/hate?), and it's being applied to the one Star Ocean game most gamers agree is "the good one". The Talos Principle 2 (Nov 2) - It's been 9 years, 9 years too many. The world has been begging for another game about setting up tripods, and finally it's back. Hey waaait a minute some of those were from November! Well I was late wasn't I, I figure I might as well peek into those first couple days. Plus I'll be on vacation at the end of the month anyway. Playing video games, of course!!! What am I, some sort of socializing... getaway-enjoyer? Get me away from the socializing, I say, I got video games to play!! As far as non-Steam goes, don't sleep on Mario Wonder

To answer your question, no, there has never been a good Robocop game and I don't think this one will be breaking the streak either. Though it might be unintentionally very funny, from some of the clips going around.

I've been hyped for this game since it was announced. I played the original Cyber Knights years ago and even bought the Hund/full game upgrade (you can get a dog, which is worth more than non-dog stuff, imo). Templar Battleforce was a fun tactical game (you play as not-Space Marines), and Star Traders: Frontiers (not-Rogue Trader) was and still is great (and still getting updates like every month or so, with new stuff). Glad to see all the Trese Brothers love in this thread. Those dudes rule, and I will probably slam-buy every single thing they put out for the rest of their careers. edit: just read their steam announcement for the trailer (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1021210/view/3737481075240530314) and the early access is going to include all the features except base-building. I can't wait to dig into the stuff the demo locked off. Fifty Farts fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Oct 6, 2023 |

The Star Ocean remake is a really cool art style pretty distinct from what I think of as HD-2D, and it was one of my favorite JRPGs as a kid. But man for whatever reason I’m worried it’s one of those things that’d just be a memory-ruiner to play it again.

I always find that element helps a little, like Hades, though I can certainly appreciate rougelites that just cut to the chase and focus on gameplay.

Thief Simulator 2 has a double discount if you own the original and order that one bundle for 19% off. You have more tools to rob people with and you can knock them out with violence. I just hope they fixed the map issue that existed in the first game where feature bloat caused slowdown and objects to render as opened.

I've got it time-indexed to 41:01 "UwU-core deus ex with cruelty squad characteristics." "This game lets you make it into whatever genre you thought this game was at first look" "Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum is an amazing reminder of why indie passion projects are awesome. made by one developer, its like an UWUcore mix of cruelty squad, deus ex and quadrilateral cowboy." Reviews look really really good, it was released to early access last october as v0.6 and as of this september they're up to v0.7.5 with a load of updates inbetween but the above quoted is the only stuff I can find about Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum here in the thread.

I've been playing a bit of Lamplighters League on the Gamepass, but I've been struggling with it. The controls during the stealth bits are pretty awful; I'm pretty sure it's designed for a controller and keyboard/mouse was an afterthought. You can control you guys with WASD in an Isometric view; which feels weird but is probably the intended way. You can also move them by clicking around, but it is a mess. The camera follows whoever you're controlling, you cannot pan around at will unless you go into Recon mode, which also absolutely tanks your FPS for whatever reason. If using the mouse to direct your dudes, you don't really have a lot of fine tuned control. If I tell a guy to hide behind a crate, he will probably go to the crate and then vault over it for some reason, immediately getting caught out. If you double click to run, you cannot single click to switch to walk; he will keep running. Occasionally, my guy will run past the spot I clicked on, and just keep trucking. I have no idea what's causing this and can't replicate it when I try. All the clicking around feels like an "estimation" of what you want and not where I actually clicked. When click-running past another character, for example, I'd somehow end up selecting them and making them move, even if I didn't click directly on them. I fixed this by changing the movement clicks to right click. A lot of things need the space bar to confirm, some things need a click, some things can be either. I have a guy who can shoot two different targets, but it's not clear who I have already selected and confirmed and who I have not. I often shoot things I didn't meant to shoot, or shoot the same guy twice when I wanted to spread it out. Finally, if you're the type to save scum when you get caught, there is no quick save or quick load. You'll have to manually save which takes a lot longer than expected; and when you load, not only does it also take a bit, but then it does this whole spiffy title sequence thing. It's cool the first time, but after so many reloads, it gets pretty annoying. I'm bitching a lot here, but everything else has been great. The actual turn based combat is fun and the characters all seem pretty unique (of course in sneak mode, they're all samey and one of 3 archetypes). The stealthing just needs serious rework or even entirely removed--the actual bits Harebrained is known for, turn based combat, is good as ever.

StrixNebulosa posted:Monster Hunter World! iceborne also adds the ability to actually craft cosmetics / "layered armor" by hunting monsters like you could in all the previous games. in base mhw it's impossible, probably to try and get people to buy all the cosmetic dlc, so without paying real money you only get a scant few dress-up bits from events. but now that I think about it that might need g-rank parts so it's pointless until you're able to handle the lategame content it adds anyways
