CharlieFoxtrot posted:Playing Chants of Sennaar because it seemed short and people were praising it so I thought it might be GOTY conversation-worthy... That was probably the worst part of the game for me because for some reason the "show interactables" button wouldn't show the torch as clickable. So I had to do that cart-loading sequence to get into the basement like four times before I realized what the problem was.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:IIRC you're supposed to rotate the little screen in front of the vault door in the Warriors' basement and put the torch in it, so it shines a bunch of lights on all the pictures. Then when you look at the pictures with the lights on them, you'll get the words for the bellman's book. LMFAO I couldn't interact with that thing because i was holding the torch, huh... another massive deduction for the game imo Edit: getting to the third area, this seems more my speed... lots of conversations and texts to unpack and barely any stealth so far lol CharlieFoxtrot fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Dec 29, 2023 |

CP2077 question: The somewhat recent big update is independent from Phantom Liberty right? Or do I need the DLC for the 'full experience' or whatever?

There's only a couple things locked behind the DLC, namely cars with rocket launchers - which are honestly kinda bad - and the secondary skill tree for the DLC. 2.0 sans DLC still has a ton of game changes, including new skill trees, a change to how crafting works, better cyberware access and mechanics and a few others that I don't remember off the top of my head. The DLC skill tree does enable some really cool stuff but it's not necessary at all.

They did add an option to skip the tutorial at some point, if you use that you start getting seeds on the second mission you do e: Actually maybe the third? But it's like ~10-15 mins at most.

it seems crazy how many games don't have animated gifs embedded on their store page. At least a few short gifs capturing cool gameplay moments make for a far more eye catching page. The double whammy is clicking on a game and the trailers are all promo cutscenes so I have no idea how it plays so I scroll down to the About and I have to read descriptions to try to figure it out. If it's just some random game I stumbled into that's probably when I bounce.

Where is Empires of the Undergrowth at these days? It looks very neat, and it's got great reviews, but seven years of EA with slow progress is a huge red flag for me.

A friend gifted me the base game a while ago so I will probably give that a chance before jumping in the DLC.

Ty for the Everspace info! It seems like I was at the open world more or less, and it just wasn’t quite as sandbox focused as I was hoping. I think I’ll come back when I’m looking for a more fighty game. Ending up playing Sailing Era, which is 10/10 for recreating what Pirates! and uncharted waters felt like to play when they first came out. The Chinese translation is not amazing but did get everything across.

I've been sort of obsessed with this survivorlike over the past few days: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2218750/Halls_of_Torment/ It has fun powers, pretty diverse characters, and loot! It presses all the right dopamine buttons. Slows down a bit towards the end of a run on Steam Deck.

EversPace 2 is very much about two things: shooting many men, and exploring for hidden loot it is basically Freelancer but better in almost every way

Just bought Hi-Fi Rush after seeing it linked in a different thread. I don't know anything about it except that I like the aesthetic and it involves rock music in some way, which I'm down for.

I love the bombers for being able to just rain down rockets on big/slow targets.

The nice thing about Hi-Fi Rush as opposed to other rhythm-based games is that you can just button mash and Chai's attacks will still land on the beat. Your score and damage won't be that great, but you'll never end up in a suck vortex like a lot of other games in the genre.

The optimal strategy in CC is "pick Riggs", having the character with access to the best defensive cards also have access to the best card draw was quite a decision, especially in the context of a game where that specific type of defense (movement) is super good since very few enemies scale in a way that it cares about, even on the highest difficulty

For some reason they never applied regional pricing to the game in my region, I'll shoot them a message. I tried Wartales since it was on sale and it gets an immediate point over Battle Brothers for having women, but other than that it's pretty bland and lifeless

Yeah just in case any other folks were thinking about the game, once I got past that part I really liked the second half, the actual language-based puzzle stuff is neat, I really liked the ones where you have to do full-on translation. Maybe I should apply that to an actual language lol

Picked up Disco Elysium. I don’t generally play CRPG’s or point and click stuff.. barely RPG’s in general. Probably haven’t played a PC-rear end CRPG since the 90’s. But it’s a genre I want to get into more. Lost 3 hours to it this afternoon that totally flew by. This is incredible. There is a phone call exchange quite early doors that had me howling with laughter.

Scalding Coffee posted:There has been lots of missions and species added to it since it started and plenty of balance changes. I don't mind it being stuck in EA and the price isn't going up with little new content to show for it like some games, which isn't much for a modern Sim Ant. Okay cool, that's much better than I thought- for some reason the reviews made me picture one of those guys that was excellent coming out of the gates, then immediately stalled. Thanks for the feedback!
