I was curious about SG2 as well, but two people over in the sale thread said it's not really worth it. Sort of a single player MMO, with all the grinding and boring quests inherent.

Maybe some day I'll play more of the Waste Land, but I find it very hard to get past the fact that there is a pallet swap of Julius Belmont not even five minutes into the game.

I'm on the fence about The Long Dark even though I'm in love with its appearance and its solitude, but I just played a good 12 hours of Eidolon. How huge are the regions in The Long Dark, and how does it compare to Eidolon overall? I expect that TLD is much more mechanically rich as a survival game by far, but much thinner on backstory. Thanks in advance. It looks great, but I felt like it might be too similar to jump into right now, plus it's early access.

bowmore posted:Best Co-Op Games? As a fan of co-op games. This is pretty much my favorite distilled list on Steam. Some are local that I've played with my girlfriend, some are online co-op that I've played with friends. So just keep an eye out or clarify what you mean and what type you want. Rayman Legends - Best co-op platformer ever, and super gorgeous Orcs Must Die 2 - already mentioned Castle Crashers BattleBlock Theatre Monaco Don't Starve Together Portal 2 Guacamelee Trine 2 Spelunky* (may damage friendships/relations) LEGO - Batman 3/Marvel Heroes/Hobbit/LoTR/Movie - Take your pick. Sonic All-Stars Racing (Not quite co-op but great) 7 Days to Die Terraria e: Borderlands 2 e: System Shock 2 (Dated but owns) e: Anno 1404 Awesome but I haven't tried the co-op features in them: Broforce Risk of Rain e: Van Helsing 1 / 2 e: Hero Siege And then there's a few on my queue list such as: Gauntlet Towerfall Ascension. Also if you're playing local co-op, buy a Wii-U. Really cheap for $200 for a whole system+Nintendoland. Hands down loving fantastic and easily the best co-op system in alooong time. It makes you feel like a giddy kid playing with your SO/friend till 3am playing Donkey Kong and such. Xaris fucked around with this message at 11:31 on Dec 28, 2014 |

I actually never played them  I did forget to mention BL2 and System Shock 2.Also of course Payday 2 & L4D2 but that's really more of a "full-house" 4P co-op experience. And then there's some ARPGs on Steam like Path of Exile, Van Helsing, Grim Dawn, Titan's Quest that are all good co-op times. Basically what I'm saying is, narrow your criteria  Local or Online? Campaign co-op? 2P Co-op? Platformers, Shooters, anything?

Right now, The Long Dark is *only* survival mechanics. The story mode will come later (only in the full release I seem to recall, might be remembering wrong though). The areas are fairly big but it's not nearly the same size as Eidolon. While Eidolon gives you plenty of room and time to admire the world, The Long Dark is much more hardcore (though I hear they included difficulty levels in the latest patch) and deadly. It's not really a "walking simulator" though it's certainly beautiful to look at. The game makes you be really active so it's not really a relaxing experience the same way Eidolon is. I prefer The Long Dark by far myself but different strokes.

I want to thank two goons for gifting me Venom table for PinballFX2 and Recettear. Don't know your SA names, but thanks a lot, guys! re: co-op games chat. I'd like to plug Towerfall: Ascension. It's the best couch-multiplayer game on Steam right now, I think. Lots of content, various unlocks, stats to check, badges to get. And the best part is that it's really easy to get into, but it hides a surprising amounts of depth. Like there's stuff with hyper jumping and shot stagger that I just found about because the dev is writing about advanced techniques in his game. There's a good SP mode (that can also be played in co-op), three MP variants with lots of customization. And there's more on the way as the dev is working on an expansion which will have procedurally generated levels. Great music, too. Towerfall's not that popular somehow, maybe it's the OUYA stigma? It was about $6 on Humble Store not long ago but it sure is worth the asking price. Terminally Bored fucked around with this message at 12:50 on Dec 28, 2014 |

There's some classes in Monaco that don't require too much skill and there are some sections in the game where talking things over for a few seconds before you move in are handy. You both could just go nuts and rush in to take everything, but that can backfire if you get cornered or pick a fight with the wrong group.

To me the different skill levels is always the biggest problem with local multi. Trine 2. The three characters have very distinct play styles and thus different requirements for the kind of skills you need to employ and everything is solvable (somehow) by every character. I would have said Portal 2 since reflexes are so rarely a factor and since it allows for good set-up in the few cases where it is, but since you said local co-op…

Borderlands 2 does not have local co-op on PC. Same with Orcs Must Die 2. Shame as they're action games that don't require too much twitch. The LEGO games are definitely your best bet. They're all of pretty great quality except for the Pirates of the Carribean and second Indiana Jones ones. Of the rest Batman 2, Marvel and Batman 3 are the best.

Rookersh posted:I've heard nothing but bad things about Lego Pirates, but no details. What's wrong with it? It's horribly rushed compared to the others (I've heard the PC port is particularly bad,) suffers from really awkward control issues and just generally for some reason lacks a lot of the charm of the other games. It was the last game of the "first generation" of LEGO games before the devs really worked on refining the formula and it does kind of show.

I had a friend gift it to me for xmas, and unfortunately, once the opening video plays, the game hangs up/freezes immediately upon the game handing control over to the player. My system meets specs, and I've turned every video option as low as it can go or turned it off entirely. I am really interested in the game and want to check it out, but am literally unable to play it for the time being until they fix whatever is causing this issue.

Does anyone know how the digital versions of warcraft 3/starcraft are over at Blizzard? I've got the original disks for them somewhere but gently caress knows where, so i figure getting the digital versions would aleviate the hassle. Also, is there a reason why Warcraft 1 and 2 don't seem to be available. Like are Blizzard just distancing themselves from them from a brand perspective or are they notorious for not working on modern systems or something?

I know I'm late to the game, but this holiday sale has finally gotten me looking into what this whole card-collecting deal is. I have to say, it's interesting enough to where I'd like to collect badges for the games I actually play. Couple things that are confusing me about the system... how the hell is there so much of a supply available? If you can only get 1/2 of the cards from regular drops - 1/10 if you max it out at level 5 - are 99% of people just selling their cards instead of collecting? It can't be boosters, because I've apparently only gotten one booster pack for Civ 5 since late 2010. If I had the max steam level it looks like that would have extrapolated to 2 packs instead of 1. It can't be gems either because it's cheaper to buy individual cards than an equivalent number of gems, for most games. Also, I have 143 hours played on Skyrim and 0/4 card drops. How many hours do you need for those cards??

Eruonen posted:Yes! There are also more booster packs than you might expect out there. I got at least 10 in the last year and I wasn't even that high level (higher level = higher chance). You can only earn booster packs for a game once you have no card drops left. I get the impression that cards must be a relatively new thing to Steam, then? That would explain a lot on both notes indeed.

I just bothered taking a look at mine for the first time ever last night, and I spent fifteen minutes to put everything on the Market last night for a penny under usual price, and I woke up this morning to a free $2.70 that I converted into FTL. Here's looking forward to another free indie game in a couple years.
