For example, it's much easier to search one or two big threads for impressions/comments/complaints about a Steam game that may not have its own Games thread.

Accordion Man posted:There's just seems to be this animosity towards Obsidian by some gamers and reviewers and its just weird. They ain't perfect but Obsidian really tries to push the envelope when it comes to quality role-playing and storytellng in RPGs and they have the talent to back it up. Every modern game they've been involved with had really blah fps shooting combat. That's why the animosity. It's what the kiddies care about.

Palpek posted:Dungeon Siege 3 becomes a completely different (better) game when you play it with a gamepad. The difference is so striking that it feels like you're playing a redone enhanced edition of the original. It's still a competently made utterly boring bog standard game. Without the Obsidian name in the background it would disappear into the ether with all the other blah games.

This is exactly what's being done with Dragon Age Inquisition. It's called the Keep. Not that Dragon Age was a great series or anything (ME was like, three times more interesting), but it's what they're doing.

Sounds like you need to play some Fallout Tactics. Divinity OS might be a little more complicated, but it's certainly a great game. Also, Frozen Synapse is the best Chess substitute ever in the form of strategic cyberpunk SWAT destruction. It's fuckin' radical. Also, check out Silent Storm 2.  Don't waste your time with Shadowrun's lovely combat design until you've got no other games to turn to. Also, and I'm still being absolutely serious here, but Sunrider, yes, it's anime, is actually really nicely done. It's got some pretty drat solid boardgame-esque type of combat. I don't know, but it's free and surprisingly well done and fun. Drifter fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Jul 21, 2014 |

^^^ -  Phenotype posted:You guys suggested Divinity and Shadowrun last night when I was asking about Final Fantasy Tactics clones, though. I guess I'm set for a while with Divinity, but are there any good FFT-style RPGs that have come out in the last few years? I tend to compare Divinity more to Baldur's Gate, which is turn-based strategy, I suppose, but wrapped up in the WRPG exploration package. I'm thinking more of "Here is a battle, now tinker with your men, now here is another battle." The closest I've played in the last few years was The Banner Saga, but that game was kinda meh. The XCOM stuff. Xenonauts. Skulls of the Shogun is really fun. edit: I'm not messing with you; you should really check out Frozen Synapse. You don't really 'upgrade' but it's a FANTASTIC turn-based tactical game. edit: Redux: This game, Halfway, looks like it could be pretty rad. Comes out tomorrow. I'm going to hold off on buying it until I can check out some reviews, but from what I see I want to play. Drifter fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Jul 21, 2014 |

Blood Money is amazing.Palpek posted:Also as I just started learning Mandarin Chinese I pulled the trigger on Influent which is that awesome looking learn-languages-playing-a-video-game title. I should be testing it in the next couple of days so maybe I'll do a short write-up. Good luck, but you'd be better off learning off of a site like Duolingo. Vocab lists, however point & clicky, aren't going to even be remotely useful. This game looks like 'Flash Cards: The Game".

A friend let me play a little bit of Halfway, and I only played about an hour and a half of it, but here's what I think anyway. I thought the aesthetic looks pretty nice. Controls handle fine. There's a little narrative and story, and it's nicely interspersed between shooting things. It's nothing special, but it's decently basic. Combat is 2-turn move/attack, attack/attack, character special move, move/move et cetera. However, the environments are kinda cramped, so combat tends to feel like you're playing an arena lane type of thing. It feels to me a bit like an even more simple Shadowrun: Returns - which I didn't much enjoy, combat-wise. You get to choose from multiple missions occasionally - for instance you can either go collect your third trooper or go fight some baddies for supplies first. Either or, so it can alter your 'strategy' a bit, I suppose. You have standard armor upgrades and weapons and stuff, but meh. I'm done with it. It's not a good enough strategy game to make me want to play more of it.

SilverMike posted:On the heels of Halfway sounding a bit disappointing, could I get a recommendation for a turn-based strategy game with a focus on the squad level? Latest game like that I've had fun with was XCOM:EW. It's Realtime with Pause, but there's something incredibly wrong with you if you aren't willingly playing Freedom Force. Back to turn based - Fallout Tactics is STILL pretty loving great. Frozen Synapse is not quite your traditional turnbased like your momma used to make, but it's literally one of my favorite strategy games I've ever played. poo poo's like Chess.

Thank you, Dementropy, for giting me Unrest, a fantasy rpg set in Ancient India. Since it's a fantasy India, I am looking forward to having less rape in this game than real India. Time will tell. I'm only in process of downloading the game, but aside from me raping Steam's servers (4 MB/s download, bitches!) I am satisfied with the lack of rapiness so far. Keep it up, fantasy India. ANd also, Kragger, for accidentally gifting me Halfway, after I posted my little review blurb of it.  I am still trying to work it out with steam support to get it back to you - I shouldn't have blind accepted but I was secretly looking forward to being gifted Secret of the Magic Crystals. Maybe next time, my friend.

It'll be that cheap again come Winter, and likely when the final chapter is out as well. Just buy it as one package down the line. It's pretty good, the first half, at least. Very simple, but fun.
