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. The gold standard of turn-based strategy games on PC is still Jagged Alliance 2 with the 1.13 mod. Hire mercs with colourful personalities and run a rebellion against a tyrant. Stealth in an area and knife everyone in the darkness! Or don't, and charge in in the middle of the day, spraying machine gun fire down the main street while launching expensive rockets at single enemy soldiers! If you want something slightly newer, there's Silent Storm and Silent Storm Sentinels. World War 2 spec ops people from all over the world fighting nazis. If you really want to go nuts, there's the janky as all hell, but really good Russian real-time with pause games like 7.62 or Marauder: Man of Prey.

SelenicMartian posted:How generic is Binary Domain, currently in the GG Sega sale? They did a good job making the robots fun to shoot by having bits of armour and casing flake off as you shoot them. Shoot a limb long enough and it ends up looking skeletal with exposed wiring and stuff, then you blow the whole thing off. You can tell at a glance how much HP a regular enemy robot has left by how messed up he looks.

It's a weapon class that's only supposed to be used in stealth. Or "stealth", when you multishot the whole room in a split second. If you don't want to wait for your silent 1 hit kill headshot, then just bring one of the other 3 weapon classes and go hog wild.

Downs Duck posted:I'm currently getting my rear end handed to me Alpha Protocol, by Omen Deng and his annoying guards, to be precise. Remember, you can shoot halfway through a combo, and you can melee immediately after shooting. Spray while charging him, start punching when you reach, and if he starts blocking, shoot him once or twice to get him to stop blocking then start punching again. Rinse and repeat.

Quest For Glory II posted:At this point I'm not against just buying a game from uPlay itself if it's on deep discount since it doesnt really matter. Launching it from Steam literally just launches the uPlay client so what's the point. If uPlay is shut down I lose the game either way. Buying on Steam does hold the advantage of having the game autopatch via Steam though.

botany posted:Ughhhhh why is Uplay such a loving pain in the rear end. Also why did the devs of Splinter Cell Blacklist think it was a good idea to drop you right into the loving game rather than the menu whenever you start. The ~cinematic experience~ Yeah I hate it too. The only computer I have is a laptop and I really need to lower graphics settings for every game I play, and this kind of thing just wastes my time. Especially given the current trend of making pause menus a fancy ingame rendered thing instead of a separate static menu. I just end up with a sluggish menu before I even get to change my settings.

corn in the bible posted:having a button mashing sequence at all is loving terrible. It all depends on execution. You can make QTEs a chore by throwing them in for pointless time-wasting crap like forcing open a jammed door, which is what most QTEs are, or you can make the player feel like he's "contributing" by doing what MGR:R did with its boss finisher QTEs.

Gromit posted:For an alternate opinion, I enjoyed it both solo and co-op. It's not a popular opinion though, I'll admit. Kragger is the only other goon I know who admits to having fun with it. I'll provide a middle-of-the-road opinion here and say I liked parts of it. The melee combat feels really good, it's nice and weighty with good reactions from enemies when they get hit. You get a kick which is capable of ragdolling enemies like almighty boot from Dark Messiah of Might and Magic once you drain their stamina with regular attacks or prior kicks. It does get boring real quick though, since the melee combat is all there is to it. Guns are crap, and the game just gets bogged down with too much traveling to and fro objectives, especially once you hit the 2nd chapter. Get Riptide if you're gonna give it a try, because that one has a new character, a fisticuffs man with a ton of special moves. That guy is really fun to play as.

Turtlicious posted:Which stalker do I want, if I'm looking for the funnest one with the best mods. Get SoC first, it's the most linear, and is a good introduction to the series in general, being the first game and all. Play through it, and if you like it, get CoP, which is a lot more freeform in that it gives you 3 huge maps and a ton of quests in each. If you liked that too, get CS with The Faction Wars mod, which fixes the faction wars part of CS, throws out the story altogether in favour of letting you pick one of the factions and rampage through the zone until you and your boys are grand overlords of horrible radiation land.

Drifter posted:The biggest problem I have with the Bethesda gamebryo games is the combat and basically the way you interact with the environment is super boring and that won't really change until the engine does. Plus how bad the movement is. You're always just sliding around and it feels terrible. Jumping feels equally terrible. Melee combat lacks any sort of weight and it feels like you're swinging around rolled-up newspapers, except when something ragdolls while you're still attacking and the corpse physics its way to the moon. Bethesda Gamebryo games play like poo poo, is what I'm saying. They tried to improve on that a little with Skyrim, but it's still not enough.

Akarshi posted:So I haven't played any Far Cry games before. Should I pick up the Franchise Pack for ten bucks? I heard tons of good things about Far Cry 2 comparing it to Spec Ops, and not as many good things about Far Cry 3 base, but apparently Blood Dragon is really good or something. 3 is alright. It just has a dumb story and a section of the game where every story mission was some jerk sending you into platforming puzzle caves. It's good shooting throughout, regardless. Also, an actual good cover system in an FPS that's halfway behind "walk behind this crate" and "superglue yourself to a crate with a button". When you aim your weapon while squatting behind a box, you automatically pop up or lean around the corner depending on how you move your mouse. It feels very natural and I wish more shooters had this system. Damegane fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Nov 16, 2014 |

Ddraig posted:Yeah they're fun to fight but it's just the tonal shift that irks a lot of people, I think. In Crysis, at least, after the initial area where you were fighting the aliens alone, the rest of the game has you running around with aliens all over the place while soldiers panic and shoot everywhere. You get less chances to Batman it up, but Ramboing suddenly becomes a hell lot more fun with all the extra targets and explosions.

Takes No Damage posted:?? It doesn't matter when/how you buy games, if they have trading cards you'll be able to get them. Whenever I get a new game that has cards I just idle in SAM overnight and wake up to 3-6 new items in my inventory. Sure it's just pocket change at this point, but if the game itself was only a couple of bucks that's still like another 25-33% off He's probably referring to the cards you get from spending during a sale.

Dominic White posted:I really wouldn't worry about the Dragon's Dogma port. It ran on the MT Framework engine, which Capcom used for DMC4, Resident Evil's 5 & 6 and both Lost Planet games. According to a dev report some years after the game came out, MT Framework was built to load up things in structured levels, which worked fine for all the games you listed out. Hell, it worked like buttery smooth magic in those games. Then they had to apply a ton of hacks to it to have it work with an open-world game like DD. It'll remain to be seen whether PC can just brute force away any performance issues again.
