NoEyedSquareGuy posted:RE4 remake is an action movie, RE2 remake is consistent with the horror theme and places more restrictions on you to maintain that sense of helplessness. Leon is still a rookie, ammo is scarce and the game makes sure that you're constantly on edge by only giving you just enough to survive. Mr. X is a constant threat in the police station once he shows up and you can hear him through the walls stomping around hunting you, made even better if you have headphones and turn on the 3D audio. let's be real that criticism was true of the original RE3, too RE3R actually owns though, it's the only RE game I've ever 100%ed

Soysaucebeast posted:If we're showing off our hauls, this is what I just snagged for about 80$ total. Shadows of Doubt has been on my wishlist for a hot minute, but since it was nominated for one of the awards I figured I'd pick it up. Coral Island was one of the nominees too, and it looks like a mix between Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, which would make it the podcast game I've been looking for. As much as I love BG3, whoever it was upthread that said it was a game you could not turn your brain off for is absolutely right. Coral Island is extremely buggy. It kept crashing for me (and lots of other people) during the first game day. If you keep it, you’re going to want to try to play it right away to see if it is stable enough for you to play.

Coral Island had a fake 1.0 as I like to remind people. They presumably ran out of EA funds and did a label it 1.0 and hopefully enough people put off by Early Access will buy funding round. It appears to have worked.

Buying the two packs gets you the 5 games for $19.42, if you want the DoS 2 Divine Ascension add on as well, buy it separate and you get all 6 items for $23.91. Buying the Eternal Edition which is the same 6 items is $35.99. You save $12.08. Despite having used Steam back in 2010 or so, I stopped gaming when I had a kid in 2015. I bought a SteamDeck this summer but was tied up with Tears of the Kingdom so I haven't really lived through the Steam ecosystem changes. All that to ask: is the Steam app (Android) "wonky"? I tried to make the above purchase using PayPal and was not able to log in to PayPal to complete. Didn't like my email, didn't like my phone. I went back to my PC (where I've been doing Steam purchases) and my order went through as fine as always.

Sandrock's got a lot of charm and the grind isn't bad but the combat and mining is very boring, there's 0 mental challenge to any of it. It's pretty dissapointing because the townfolks, the comissions and the crafting are pretty drat fun. Time Break Chronicles is so good, it's what Crystal Project should have been. NO lovely 3D JUMPING PUZZLES! Tried Demon Turf but there's no mantling and I got stuck for 10 minutes at the tutorial long jump. Then for some reason the game sent me back to the start of the tutorial. Refund. I'm never playing a 3d platformer without mantling ever in my life.

It has obvious drawbacks when (Jill, LOL) sandwiched between RE2 and RE4 but on its own terms I enjoyed it. It might be the most straight up fun I've had with an RE game, tbh. At its current sale price I think it's an easy recommendation to anyone who is digging what Capcom are doing with these remakes.

Between Coral Island and BG3, canny devs who are paying attention are going to realise that you can use EA to polish up an long rear end Act 1 to a fine sheen and do a pretty good Act 2, release from Early Access and by the time people realise there's no finish to the game you'll have enough funding to finish it anyway.

Speaking of DOS2, is there any good resources online for build guides? I’m going for this melee-focused Warfare character and would to see more information on how people build that kind of character. Like sword and shield vs. dual wield vs. 2hander , etc.

I feel like the internet is really quick to call anything that's simply lovely a scam, which frankly I really don't like, but this seemed to genuinely be the least amount of effort one could put into making something that could be described as "a video game". But shutting down the company like the day after your early access title comes out and tweeting, "We didn't take anyone's money until putting it up for sale. Making games is hard! We over estimated our abilities" seems really dishonest and shady for sure. Apparently they had an investor, so if it was a scam it seems more likely to be pocket that chump's money and then spend as little as possible on the actual game, with anything coming from the sales of it as a bonus.

Along with a side hustle to try and market their short lived 'Microsoft Teams' clone.

If someone's incompetent enough that their "legitimate effort" is indistinguishable from a scam, I'm comfortable with them suffering the same penalties scammers would. I don't think there's much to be gained from attempting to divine whether these people are idiots or malevolent, the effect on the customer is the same.

FuzzySlippers posted:Anyone play The Great War Western Front? Looks like Total War: WW1 which seems interesting, but I can't tell if the reviews are nitpicky or it's a mess (I've not played all the TW games but I've enjoyed the ones I have even ETW and WH3). It’s ok. I can confidently say that it’s the best wwi trench warfare rts game I’ve ever played, but that speaks more to the lack of entries in the genre than the quality of the game. I don’t know if total war is the best comparison, apart from the turn based campaign/rts battles, they don’t feel very alike. The battles are pretty fun at first, but once you figure out the optimal strategy, you just kind of do it over and over. It’s fun for a while but I never finished the campaign. Worth playing for cheap imo, the battles capture the aesthetic of what you imagine trench warfare to be pretty well. Launching artillery barrages and sending waves of dudes to kill and die for minimal strategic benefit is fun for a while but it gets old quickly. Maybe they patched the game to be more interesting since I stopped playing but I’m not sure what they could do really E: it’s also thematically a little confusing; the writing, to the extent that there is any, makes a token effort to convey the horrors and toll of the war, but once you get into the game itself, it gets pretty arcadey and you stop thinking of your little dudes as human pretty quickly as you send them into the grinder to whittle away the enemy’s score and increase yours. Maybe that’s the point? To put you in the mind of the generals who callously spent the lives of a generation in pursuit of some ethereal notion of prestige on the world stage?

God, there are like five million farming games now. Does anyone have any recommendations? - I loved RF4 - I didn't like Stardew's fast pace - I like making fwiends with NPCs - If there is combat, it has to be decent (Stardew's wasn't, incidentally) - Modding a plus but not required I guess My Time At Sandrock is the latest hotness in this genre? Sandrock, Harvestella and Dinkum all look good but I figured I'd ask. Apparently the latest Harvest Moon is actually good too?

Just realize that even though it’s out of early access it’s still incomplete in areas from what other goons have said. But what’s there is pretty good. I’m holding off till they get some content patches down the line.

Det_no posted:God, there are like five million farming games now. Does anyone have any recommendations? I really enjoyed harvestella but it’s something that’s greater than the sum of its parts and the farming and combat mechanics are both super basic, so if you solely want something mechanically deep like rune factory maybe look elsewhere. it just has a really engaging format balancing your time/energy/HP between the farm, story dungeon progress, sidequests and so on. also the story gets batshit insane.

Det_no posted:God, there are like five million farming games now. Does anyone have any recommendations? Harvestella is neat from what I played, and apparently the story gets pretty buckwild (complimentary), but from what I've played the farming really isn't a big emphasis, it's much more of an action RPG focus. I backed Coral Island and I'm sure I'll play it more when it's actually done for real this time, but it's currently still unfinished and it's honestly left a bad taste in my mouth. Definitely worth waiting. I haven't played Sandrock yet though I do have it, but it seems to be the current hotness and is fairly long. I'm also interested in hearing how Dinkum is, I remember it making an initial splash but it feels like word of mouth fell off pretty quickly. Also rune factory 3 just had a remaster come out if you liked that one as well (I did), I'm sure you're aware of rune factory 5 and it's definitely a disappointment in some ways but the characters remain very cute, there's the classic deep crafting etc and you can be gay as hell which is just about a must have imo woke kaczynski fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Dec 22, 2023 |
