I can't speak for other people, but I've often punched in the name of a game I've never heard of or only vaguely remember being mentioned to look back on what people said about it. That search has been broken for awhile, sadly.

Gort posted:What DLC is worth it? I'm only really interested in more story and not in extra weapons/cars/clothes. Skip Year of the Snake if you're in it for the story/fun. It takes the awesome Jon Woo/gangster vibe the main story has and shits all over it. You spend 90% of the dlc following orders and handcuffing.

If I loved Shining Force, FFT, and Tactics Ogre, is the Banner Saga worth buying for 5bux? I know it's got the issues, but if the combat system is deep and fun, I'd be fine.

I don't get why DF gets so much love. The last real project they released was in 2005, and everything since then has either been either tiny or a muddled mess that makes Alpha Protocol look like the pinnacle of game development.

Max Wilco posted:Has anyone played Knights of Pen & Paper? I was looking at it earlier on the Humble Store, but I found that it's also on Google Play for the same price (about $2.50). I figured if I was going to play it, I'd get the mobile version. Is there anything I should know about the game or any reason to steer clear or it? It's a great game to play on the toilet.

Everblight posted:On the one hand, FFVII has a bunch of really, really hacky writing and a deep misunderstanding of how people relate to each other, with a healthy dollop of sitcom-style "well if you'd just say that out loud this whole mess coulda been avoided." On the other hand, they use at least 4 distinct character models for each character (world, battle, pixel cutscene, the one full anime cutscene just before breaking out of Shinra HQ) so they lack a cohesive style guide. IIRC there's a mod that replaces all of the poo poo character models with their hi-rez in battle versions. I haven't played it, but if you're on PC you owe yourself to play with that mod. The blocky OOC models have no redeeming factors.

Everblight posted:So I got Hatoful Boyfriend because I actually liked Long Live the Queen and, uh... Yeah, I got the same impression. The gameplay/storyline is nonexistent, and as much as I like the idea of the game, I'm finding it harder and harder to motivate myself to keep playing. It's a loose mis-mash of references and parodies that the developers thought were funny. Maybe it's funnier/more enjoyable for people who have actually played dating sims.

Freak Futanari posted:Hatoful Boyfriend goes from "amusing gimmick game" to "legitimately really good" the moment you get on the true route, and it's sad that a lot of people don't seem to bother with getting there. It's because you have to beat all the other 'main' paths to unlock it.. And I find them gimmicky for the most part (aside from Okasan, and that's probably because I've been craving pudding for weeks).

poptart_fairy posted:I had similar with Shadowrun. People fall over themselves to praise its writing, but the game just seems to be fall of the usual stereotypes backed up by a ton of prose. The good hearted hooker, the bad rear end cyborg mercenary, the vaguely foreign Mistress that speaks two languages in the same sentence, etc etc etc. Granted I haven't played the expansion - maybe that's what people are getting boners over? The original campaign had horrendous writing, it felt like playing a sourcebook. I couldn't help but cringe every time the Mistress spoke. Dragonfall had BG2 caliber writing.

Wasteland 2 is great if you're a fan of pre-VGA CRPGs. Otherwise I'd skip it. The story is uninteresting, combat is a bore, and the skills system is needlessly complex.

I picked up Hitman Absolution as part of the weekly bundle and I'm finding it really frustrating-- mainly that the game penalizes you for killing enemies that aren't your target (even when said enemies are part of a villanous strike team sent to kill you). It has some other major issues: it's extremely linear, half the stages are of you evading people instead of assassinating them, the story is cliche stewed garbage, and the save system is borderline useless (checkpoints that reset when you quit the game!). What stealth games are there on Steam that DON'T penalize you for murdering everyone? I thinking of games like Tenchu 3, Dishonored, or DXHR - where killing is an option but isn't discouraged at all.

sauer kraut posted:How does it penalize you for killing people, does the psycho rating or whatever you get at the end hurt your feelings? Rating = XP for gaining skills, and yes, the basic psychological effect of it makes the game less fun. I enjoy playing games where I can assassinate everyone on the stage, and having a constant deluge of negative points added to my score takes away from that enjoyment. quote:And Contracts had no plot at all. No plot would be an improvement for absolution. VV That requires an established place nearby, in later missions the amount of bodies far exceeds that of the amount of crates and closets that the developers chose to place. It's particularly egregious for the missions where you're dealing with kill teams. It doesn't make any sense story-wise that hiding bodies would be important, but the game punishes you anyways. It'd be better if there were no penalty for a silent kill-- just a bonus for hiding bodies. It'd accomplish the same thing, but it wouldn't take away from the fun of hiding piles and piles of corpses. AfricanBootyShine fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Feb 28, 2015 |

I'll be happy to play Hotline Miami 2 after I get it for $1 in a humble bundle. At best, it sounds like more of the first... Which I wouldn't pay >$5 on a good day. I'd rather buy the soundtrack and play the first game. Also, I'd like to hear from someone who enjoys Assassin's Creed's combat. Because it's always been awkward and janky to me. Give me Batman/Mordor combat or give me Revengeance. Not poorly timed counter bullshit dictated by longass boring animations.

You can take more than one hit from a DS boss before you die. How it's currently tuned is more like Super Meat Boy without the instantaneous return to start. It's a shame, because a game full of nothing but Ys/Zelda style boss battles would be right up my alley.
