Mortal Shell is a decent if uninspired bite-sized soulslike... Up until the final boss which is so bad* it retroactively ruined the game for me. With how many other options there are now, I wouldn't bother. e: *It can heal itself and whether you can do something about it or not is essentially random. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Oct 28, 2023 |

On a whim I decided to give the original Desktop Dungeons a go since I needed to get its trading cards to drop. I really enjoyed what I played of Rewind and I'd never played the OG so I thought what the hell, might as well give it go. What I didn't expect was to like it more than Rewind lol the art is charming as hell, there's an actual codex with information like what gods like and don't like as well as commentary on EVERYTHING and the whole dungeon fitting in your screen is great for legibility and strategizing. And then I learned that you can import your save and also every balance change save for the actual Rewind feature back into the game with the Extreme Edition mod??? Yeah I don't think I'm actually coming back to Rewind lmao

Strange Brigade for $4 including all the DLC sounded too good to pass up so my friends and I picked it up, it seemed neat when it came out but maybe not $50 great and the reviews kinda back that up. Looking forward to checking it out.

pentyne posted:The Sinking City is on sale for 85%, is the steam version the correct one or is that the one the publisher stole and used a pirated crack to sell? It's the publisher version, the only version that the devs distributed was on Gamesplanet. I say was, because it was taken down earlier this year. So I believe the only way to buy it now is from Nacon.

The contract stated Nacon paid xyz per sale, and Nacon provided proof they were paying out at that rate. Apparently Frogwares thought they owned the IP/sales rights and they didn't.

Usually I can continue using the source pc same as usual (keyboard, mouse, controller), except I can also control it from wherever it’s being beamed to.

Thanks to the people who were talking about Last Epoch in this thread, I picked it up tonight and it's pretty great so far. Me playing the first few levels: "Well, this seems okay enough, kind of a generic ARPG but nothing too interesting..." Me unlocking the first skill specialization: Oh

I'm running it through Steam so I'll ask here, I bought the Ultimate Edition of Control on sale, but every time I try to run it I get a "device removed" error that demands I quit the game. If I run Dx12 then it's immediate, if I run Dx11 then I can start to load into a new game before it hard crashes again. I have a Nvidia RTX 4080 and Intel i9-13900K, with a 4k monitor (which may be part of the problem?) Is this a common issue that anyone might be able to help me fix?

From what I'm seeing the common fix seems to be getting rid of any GPU overclock you may have but I'm also seeing a lot of people say that nothing worked and it's just mysteriously broken.

Don't be so dramatic. The one particular skill you want to swap gets reset to a base level that starts at zero but increases as you level up.

I'm constantly respeccing my skills in Last Epoch and it's a very minor drawback. You definitely don't need to grind after respeccing.

The control HDR mod is basically an unofficial patch by the developers and you should play that instead. That said, I have no idea if installing the patch alone will fix your problems.

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:That conveys no information at all to everyone who hasn't played. Would you care to elaborate? A few people have kind of described it, but to go into it a little deeper, you have a selection of skills you can choose from to put on your bar that you can change whenever you want. But you also choose a certain number of skills to "specialize" in (which once you're fully leveled end up being the same number you can have on your bar, but you gradually unlock those specialization slots). Once you specialize a skill, it has its own internal branching skill tree. So, like my little basic skeletal warriors/archer skill:  when specialized opens up into this whole tree of choices:  Which can let me summon more skeletons, specify the type of skeletons I want, increase damage but lower the number of them, add in skeletal rogues, give them different abilities, etc. And every skill you can have has its own tree like this which you gain points in individually.

Well, that doesn't sound great. I'd hate to be stuck using only one or two skills forever. Do you lose ALL your progress every time you switch skills, or only progress which hasn't reached the next tier or unlock in the skill? I would assume the latter.

I started playing The Outer Worlds and I can't put my finger on why but it feels really hollow? Obviously the budget was smaller than a typical modern Fallout game but it just feels like there's so much less going on in the world that the kinda basic mission design isn't masked enough. I just did a quest series that boiled down to fast travelling back and forth between the same three or four points several times on the second major planet, occasionally fighting one of the two or three enemy types that the game has shown so far. I usually have a pretty high tolerance for games that people say are mediocre but this is just missing for me in a way that is surprising me. Also it seems like something is hosed up with the visuals, the day night cycle alternates between impossibly dark and wild neon haze.

You can freely use any unlocked skill for your character swapping it in and out of the bar as much as you like. Each character as they level unlocks specialisation slots that effectively 'become' the skills you're going to use in the end game because specialising a skill unlocks its skill tree and starts earning that skill experience towards skill points - when you're looking at changing a skill you can either remove single points from it or despecialise it, the former loses one level of skill experience, while the latter removes all experience from it and opens the slot for a different skill. Skills take a lot less experience to level up than your character does and cap out at level 20, and as your character level goes up the starting level of your skills does too until it reaches 10 in the endgame. It's probably only noticeable if you're aggressively shuffling all your skills around while levelling, as in the endgame you earn so much experience from enemies relative to how much skills take to level that you can completely change a skill and it'll be back to max in a few maps. Nothing else about your character resets when you do this, just the one skill you choose to despecialise.
