I found out about this not long ago when I noticed that some of the dumb trading cards (like Knock-knock) actually have neat backgrounds: http://www.steamcardexchange.net/index.php?showcase That site has all the images which you can download at 1920x1080.

Darkrenown posted:Generally, when non-retarded people do alternate history, history is the same up until a point of divergence, which you explain in your setup and stuff happens from there. You can't just have "Oh yeah Hitler dies in 1942 so Germany never invades Russia" without explaining why they didn't invade them in 1941, or how they magically invade the US. Now, you could say perhaps they just wanted to have wacky funtimes and not care about facts, but their entire "About the game" section is nothing but their alt-history setup, which implies they are taking it seriously but no one on the team had anything but the vaguest idea about what happened in WWII.

FadedReality posted:How is Reaper of Souls for someone who dumped 100 hours into the blegh launch era Diablo 3 and burnt out on it? I keep staring at it but that's most of the rest of my non-steambux sale budget gone which keeps giving me pause. The difficulty sliders are a lot of fun to play around with now too, and let you have an actual challenge. A (non-hardcore) character starting off with nothing can swing Expert or even Master, and then the game isn't just a boring slog, plus you level like crazy and will be rich fast.

The Cheapshit Guide to Decent Games My favorite part of these sales is combing through the games that are discounted to less than the price of a pack of gum. Some really solid gems get buried in the pile. These should all remain at this price throughout the Winter sale, I can't see them being discounted any less. $1 or less Retro-Grade - $0.99 A rhythm shooter with a cool twist, you're playing it in reverse. I'm terrible at it but it looks pretty and is really fun to chill out to the awesome music on Casual. The Binding of Isaac (original version) - $0.49 There's a new one with a better engine that's not Flash, but the original is still compusilvely replayable, if you somehow haven't checked it out yet. Ghost Master - $0.74 A sort of Sims style top down game where you rig up various locations with hauntings to scare the people wandering around. It's pretty easy and doesn't have a lot of depth, but it's fun for at least a couple hours. Zeno Clash - $0.99 An older but very unique first person punch-and-shoot-'em up that still has some of the best first person hand to hand combat I've seen in a video game. Recently updated to add ~TRADING CARDS~! $2 or less Installments 1-3 of the Blackwell Adventure games, $1.49 each: The Blackwell Legacy Blackwell Unbound Blackwell Convergence These are great adventure games with an old school art style, but without the obnoxious old-school puzzle design. The story is really solid too, for $1.49 this is a great way to see if it'd be something you're interested in enough to get them all. The Shivah - $01.49 Another similarly styled adventure game, put out by the same designers of the Blackwell series. Bad Mojo: Redux - $1.49 Disclaimer, I've had this game for a long time but have never managed to finish it. It's difficult in an old fashioned adventure game way, but you play as a cockroach and get to watch some awesome 90s FMV. Shadowgrounds - $1.14 A goofy but fun action shooter. I like to think of it as a top-down Doom 3. Go ahead and skip Shadowgrounds: Survivor though.

Edmond Dantes posted:Huh. I have 2 gb video RAM (660ti), and it ran quite well with the letterboxing removed (which adds quite a bit of renderable area). I was hitting 45~50 fps instead of 60, but at 30 I was running it maxed out.

To The Moon has a demo floating around out there somewhere, I'm glad I checked that out because I couldn't get past the game's presentation and dialogue, no matter how good the story apparently turns out to be.

Evil Mastermind posted:Red Faction: Guerrilla is a bargain at $3, especially if you like breaking poo poo. You can wreck pretty much every structure in the game; in fact you're pretty much required to because that's how you get cash.

MyronGognitti posted:I have no idea what the gently caress I'm doing in Gearcrack. Really it's an arena combat game where you keep moving and click as fast as possible on the things that are trying to shoot you. It's a really ancient feeling style of game, which is probably why it's the cheapest thing on Steam.

Get the biggest (good quality) SSD you feel like spending money on, because it will fill faster than you think. This is video gaming we're talking about here, what you NEED isn't the issue! You don't NEED a $300 graphics card but you bought one anyone now didn't you?

King Vidiot posted:Skyrim is annoying sometimes but that's about it, and I don't know if I'd blow money on a SSD just to compensate for bad developers not knowing how to optimize their games properly. HDDs are dirt cheap right now, it's great. I got a new 2 TB I also didn't "need" just to dump everything else on and for some more data redundancy, since I load everything from an SSD it's going to last a long time.

RBA Starblade posted:Wow, Dark Messiah gets really lovely really fast at the Altar of the Spider between the bad level design, zombies that randomly can't die no matter how many times you try the power attack to knock them down (and they randomly can't go down) and ghouls that just don't register hits more often than not and occasionally do three times the damage for no good reason.

BobTheJanitor posted:Early reports on Life is Strange indicate it has some really obvious problems with lip-syncing the dialogue to the characters. As much as I've been looking forward to trying it, I think I have to hold off until that's fixed. In less story-heavy games a little tinge of badly-dubbed kung fu movie could be ignored, but since this appears to be heavily narrative driven it would likely drive me crazy after a while. I'm really digging it so far, the gimmick is cool and I'm having fun using it to just redo conversations. I love story heavy games with dialogue options, and in this one you can go back and try saying something different even in the minor conversations to see what happens. It's kind of brilliant, because I end up reloading and doing that anyway for most adventure games, this just gives you a built in mechanic to do that without breaking up the flow so much. I love the look and mood, the characters and world aren't super detailed but instead are of the stylized variety that works well. So far it seems like a recent Telltale game with more freedom of movement and a neat gimmick.

Accordion Man posted:Going to post some more love for Life is Strange. I'm still like an hour in or so, but this game's definitely got some real heart to it already. There's some real meat to the game with a lot of optional conversations that flesh out the cast and items with flavor text to examine that rewards exploration, it reminds me a lot of Dreamfall Chapters in that regard which is a very good thing. It's also channeling that Twin Peaks vibe already what with the really popular high school girl disappearing that's most likely to unravel the town's dark underbelly. (Get Agent York on the case) Its definitely putting Telltale's recent output to shame. Hopefully it maintains the quality, down-to-earthness, and the focus on the characters and not fall down the David Cage rabbit hole of focusing on way too much on how Max got her time powers, because this is shaping up to be a great game.  My favorite parts of these kind of games are generally the beginning, where they introduce the world and let you poke around fleshing it out, and it's nailing that so far. If they manage to keep it up it will be one of my favorites. It also has rewarding little side objectives, where you find optional things to take pictures of (although the wannabe photographer in me is disappointed that this doesn't involve a minigame where you have to set your shutter speed and aperture).

Palpek posted:White Night - a stylish black and white adventure game I mostly dug the noir vibe though, with the melodramatic voiceover narration and whatnot. It has a conclusion that's a bit on the nose with the twist, but I liked the message. I did some navel-gazing analysis of it in the horror thread, if you want the ending spoiled: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3648165&pagenumber=78&perpage=40#post442724277
