The Kins posted:Is there still a Prison Architect thread somewhere? I finally got around to giving it a quick spin before bed last night and then I looked up and it was 6am and oh jeez. I also played some Prison Architect last night. It was pretty fun, but jeez, they really should have got someone to proofread and fix the backer prisoner bios because it seems like every one of them was written by a drunk and illiterate monkey.

Going through the bios will hopefully come at some point close to "release".

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:Not quite. Today's patch was in preparation for the upcoming Companion DLC. It appears in the main menu, but you can't actually use it yet. Aaah, my bad. I saw a smallish patch go up, then a much larger one - I assumed that second download was the companion update. Edit: A couple of folks a page or two back were worried about that Wasteland 2 trailer that seemed to show a freshly-rolled party getting curbstomped by murderbots. I'm about 95% certain that was just illustrative of what happens if you go into a situation completely unprepared, as the early-game combat looks pretty easy and tutorial'ish according to this Eurogamer footage of the release build here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xivQWTWkWRw It looks very Fallout-ish now.

Somebody posted an old gamespy link to something Derek Smart-related earlier, and then when I browsed the rest of the article I came upon this: Valve's PowerPlay Initiativequote:In January of 2000, Valve Software, makers of Half-Life, announced that it was teaming up with networking giant Cisco Systems to "revolutionize Internet gaming" with an amazing new technology called PowerPlay. A whole bunch of developers, Epic Games, BioWare, Red Storm, Relic, Ritual, Shiny, Volition, and Ensemble among them, immediately signed up, pledging allegiance to this incredible breakthrough to how games would be played online. I was gaming back then, but I only read the occasional PC Gamer so I guess I wasn't really keeping track of developer shenanigans. It's kind of amusing to read about Valve antics back when Steam was barely a gleam in GabeN's eye.

quote:Mr. Carmack was ultimately right: PowerPlay's "revolution" turned out to be little more than some dubious technology backed by a heaping helping of outrageous hype. Just like steambox. Marlow Briggs (and some other games) for $1! Mehish IG bundle (although Hero Siege is great)

LibbyM posted:How's that Starpoint Gemini 2 game? I'd really love a game that was a mixture of open world space trading games and the combat of starfleet command. Is this the game I've been waiting for? I picked it up and it seems pretty nice. Some balance things to be sorted out, as the only bearable to way to make money is capturing and scrapping ships (low end ships cost around 300k, early missions get you maybe 10k for the objective, but another 90k if you can capture even a single ship, and I haven't tried trading yet but until you can start with a trader it seems almost useless). The control system is pretty nice; there are different schemes depending on if you're dogfighting with something small with all its guns on the nose or a turret-based mode if you're flying a ship-of-the-line style capital ship.

Receiver is awesome, unless you are one of those people that expect to hit "R" and you instantly reload your gun, which is not the point of the game. Hell, there are even mods for it that add a shotgun, bolt action rifles and a M1A1 Thompson.

Articy:Draft is on sale for 35 bucks, and it's a really good tool for mapping dialog among other related textual and environmental design things. It's certainly better than notepads on a whiteboard. But, Chat Mapper (not on steam) is free, so it's a hard sell unless you're actually a business - in which case go for the pro articy license.

Drunk Tomato posted:What's the best cheap-rear end xbox-like controller on pc? Is it this one? I'd say pay the extra $15 and get an actual 360 controller. Third party controllers are really hit or miss with what drivers they use and can have all sorts of dumb detection and button mapping issues. Wired 360 controller has few to no problems. Though if someone has come out with a really good third party controller since the dogshit Logitech one I had that treated the triggers as an analog stick axis, well, I'm all ears.

I currently(and only ever) use a Logitech Rumblepad 2 with x360ce and it works perfectly all of the time. You build a profile for general use in 360ce which takes maybe a minute, and then drop 4 files into the install folder of a game you want to play with a controller. Never had an issue.

Defy Gravity is a weekly sale for 0,19 and it has cards. You can make money by buying this game. A dream has come true. On a side note: Why is the list of weeklong deals shuffing every time you open it up (or return back to it)? My guess is some marketing genius thought that this way more games will be displayed "above the fold", but if you're actually browsing through the list, it's aggravating as hell. P.S.: That cheeseburger video did not make me want to buy Facerig less. Furry stuff is still creeping me out, though.

I just got done watching the latest Divinity: Original Sin Kickstarter update video. Along with releasing the two companions today, they're currently working on improving the look of some of the spells and skills, allowing you to listen in on dialogue in co-op, improving inventory management, and are testing controllers for same screen co-op. The game has awesome post-release support so far and looks like it isn't slowing down anytime soon. e: Last I had a third party controller was back in 2010 x360ce didn't fix the weird rear end problems I was having with Splinter Cell: Conviction

Right, but see I need to buy two controllers for my sister so she can play lego games with her kid, and they don't need quality controllers. I just want something cheap that will function like a 360 controller out of the box, which I believe this one will (since its x-input).

This is a really good controller - I've got one myself. Plug and play and you can switch between dpad/ stick and xinput/ dinput. Really good price for it as well.

Deus Ex: The Fall is going for $2.49 today. I hear it's not a good game, but is it not even worth the sale price? or should I just save my money for Sakura Spirit  Also I have no idea what any of the other games are like, but that Indie Gala Monday Bundle is worth it just for Hero Siege.

Looks like the game will be growing for a while yet. Also, tres cute that they did Smash Bros style intros for the new characters.

No, Deus Ex The Fall is an absolutely awful mobile port and the story will never be actually completed or matter in any sense. Replay the Director's Cut of Human Revolution if you haven't already instead.

Manatee Cannon posted:The moves aren't why Remember Me's combat sucked. You can make big, custom combos but you never needed any of it because a simple one that gave health back kept you going forever. Yeah, so far the combat seems like simple is best. This does not bother me, the reason the combat sucks is that if combat is simple I want to focus on the world and not deal with battles taking me away from the world. Armor-Piercing posted:The description says it just adds a few moves, so no, it probably doesn't make it not suck. Does the game stay linear or does it ever allow me to explore a bit? Right now I keep trying to check out areas but basically am fighting against a straight line looking for secrets.

Quest For Glory II posted:$7+ It's also a weekly sale on steam for 7.49, if you wanna use steambucks to get it. Just picked it up and this game is loving awesome. It's an incredibly intense bullet hell shmup with an amazing soundtrack, and it subscribes to the "everything loving explodes" school of game design. Also it has unlimited continues, so you don't need to worry about being good at the game.

I can recommend the MadCatz Fight/Brawlpad if you like to play 2D/fighting games and don't want to use the horrendous D-pad on the XB360 controller. Its pretty cheap and it works like a charm on PC. Some people say that they are pretty flimsy and get broken pretty quickly, but I have had mine for quite some time without an issue.
