How loving expensive could it possibly be. There's no way Unreal doesn't support it in the back-end and all the front-end poo poo was already developed for the console version.

Saoshyant posted:Every time some new info comes out of their controller, I cannot but think back of the Xbone controller and the absurd fortune Microsoft spent on making different iterations of it including dumb stuff like capability to detect smells. And then they just went with what worked, a decision that if taken from the start would have saved them a disgusting amount of cash. This line of thought is why every AAA title is the same loving game.

Everblight posted:You also can only idle in one game at a time, or it drastically lowers the drop rate (from 1/hr to 1/8 hrs) Where did you get that figure? I've never seen anything that specific for the lowered drop rates. If this is true (and the rate isn't reduced for every game you have open), couldn't someone idle in 16 games and get a doubled drop rate?

It is repetitive, but the game is built around doing the same things over and over to improve your ability to do them. I had fun with it, but I think its pacing is too slow. There are multiple goals for getting to the next star, but the days requirement is so massive, they may as well not exist. You're pretty much guaranteed to hit all of the other goals well before hitting the required amount of days to advance.

PunkBoy posted:Thoughts on Wasteland 2? Worth the $26.79? It depends how much you enjoy CRPGs. If you enjoyed the original Fallouts or any of the Infinity Engine games (excepting Planescape, which is amazing, but a different beast), you'll enjoy it. The combat isn't quite as difficult as the old D&D games, but it's still way more tactical than modern RPGs. It's entirely possible to gently caress yourself during party creation, which I consider a big bonus to it. The writing is also good but not amazing; the inherent cheesiness in paying homage to 80's post-apocalypse fiction works against it far more than it does for it.

The Taint Reaper posted:So I'm on the fence about Dreamfall Chronicles. It seems more expensive than any of the telltale games, but how quickly have the episodes been coming out? It should be said that the game was supposed to be released all at once, but the developers opted to release it in episodes because funds were running low. I Kickstarted it, so I knew what I was getting into, but if you aren't already invested in the series, it might be prudent to wait and see if it's finished at all. (The episode is really good, though)

I actually laughed out loud when the little girl volunteered to shut off the complicated machine that everyone else was unwilling to mess with, and NOBODY had any issue with her doing it. I'm enjoying it enough to play through the season, but The Wolf Among Us is leagues better.

CJacobs posted:If you're talking about Icewind Dale, yes it is on Steam for The non-enhanced edition is on GoG for $10 and also goes on sale all the loving time. From what I've heard, the only meaningful addition to the enhanced one is higher resolution support, but that can easily be solved in the original release with a mod.

I normally don't really care, but his voice is so annoying and nerdy that it's hard to take Since when is a deep gravely voice annoying and nerdy? The only complaint I have with the VO actor is how generic he is, but this video also exists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flszuT3ROdo So I'm torn on whether or not I like him.

Dr. S.O. Feelgood posted:I'm also doing the free trial for FFXIV and it's not really grabbing me. I really wanted to like it, but it's just ok. I'm a level 17 thaumaturge and it's decently fun and the armory system is cool, but I definitely wouldn't pay for a subscription right now. It's probably partly because I don't play many MMOs, so it's like there's a ton of weird terminology and etiquette that I don't know and don't really feel like learning. Is it any different past level 20 or is it basically the same stuff? I've seen people talk about how the end game is really good, but it's still an MMO. It's never going to stop being an MMO and will always involve hitting keys on a hotbar and getting yelled at by strangers if you don't dedicate all of your freetime to the game. (I hate MMOs)

Jerusalem posted:That was a big disappointment, and it's pretty lovely that they're selling the games in that state. Yeah, I don't buy pre-2003-ish games off of Steam anymore because of how uneven the support can be. GoG all the way for that stuff. I just discovered that they've even started releasing linux "versions" of some games, which are already set-up and tested Wine installations; GoG is such a good loving company.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:A lot of times when something becomes popular, it's usually a new twist on a stolen idea from someone that didn't market correctly. See: basically Blizzard's entire library. Minecraft. League of Legends. League of Legends was similar to DOTA but was still Riot's own work. Valve aren't developing an operating system, they're releasing an existing one with their program pre-installed. For your example to work, League would've had to have been made under the Warcraft 3 engine and blatantly use huge chunks of DOTA scripting.

Pirate Jet posted:That's a real oversimplification of what SteamOS is. It's definitely made off of a Debian base, but they've developed an entirely new suite of software and UI for it. And, if the rumors are true, an entirely new renderer (though they had help on that one.) The desktop UI is just GNOME. I guess they made a custom skin for GNOME. I haven't heard anything about new graphics libraries or custom drivers for it, though? Do you have details on that?

It's centered around the tension of managing your energy while still keeping track of all the animatronics. The creepiness of the presentation adds to this tension, and the simpleness of the mechanics allow for each day to be deeply polished. The first one is a legit good game, but all the others just appear to be cash ins.

FirstAidKite posted:I thought you could definitely change the terrain in 3 though. You're right...who the hell wrote that feature list. I remembered being disappointed that I couldn't build enclosed rides, but I guess the issue was that rollercoaster tracks couldn't be built underground, but I'm seeing that was added in one of the expansion packs, so I think it might be time to install the complete set I bought in a GoG sale a while ago! 3D tracks ala Sim Theme Park should be cool though, if they're implemented well. I always loved the freedom Sim Theme Park's roller coaster's had but hated how they weren't as grounded as RCT.

GreatGreen posted:their refusal to patch in the already-created console functionality (better inventory system, junk item categorization, controller support, etc) as an option for players is pretty crap, too. To adapt the game to controllers better, Blizzard changed how enemies spawn and move; it's not just an alternate control-scheme to PC. Which is a shame because the core combat is so much more fun on consoles, it's ridiculous. GreatGreen posted:no offline mode for the PC version even after they removed the auction house is basically inexcusable and feels like a slap in the face to players

Because if I let you use the controller on the PC, then I have to let you use the user interface that goes with it, and if I give you the roll and I haven't throttled the number of enemies attacking you because the mouse-and-keyboard players can handle all those enemies, but with a controller you have too many guys... The games have really been structured to take advantage of their environment and their ecosystem The interface argument doesn't make any sense, though.

Literally every FPS campaign that followed it was influenced in some way by half life. Love it or not, it changed the path of the entire genre, so people rightfully call it revolutionary. Unfortunately, this influence has been taken to it's absolute extreme in CODs pointless set pieces, but it had a good run.
