There is a new fighting game coming out at the end of January that looks pretty cool. I don't know anything about Dragonball but the Dragonball Fighterz gameplay looks fast as gently caress.

Yeah Stardew Valley is a love letter to the original Harvest Moon and the work of one really dedicated dev who spent many years on it. Remember when Minecraft first came out back in 2009? Stardew Valley was in alpha at the same time. Dude just wouldn't release it until he was finished.

NoNostalgia4Grover posted:Gal Civ 2 came out way before 2009. Sins of a Solar Empire, co-developed by Stardock, came out in 2008. Yeah I was a sucker too because Stardock did such a great job with the Galactic Civ games. I thought they were going to do a fantasy version of the previous games and instead it was a weird mix of Heroes of Might and Magic and Dominions that didn't work and was unfun and unstable. I forgot about how much that game sucked. I also never bought Gal Civ III because it's reviews were bad and I had other games to play.

Because back when Dark Souls came out console games were shifting to being easier so a broader range of players could complete them. Dark Souls was a refinement of the formula Demon's Souls first implemented which was basically "gently caress You Get Good" . That resonated with the core video game playing demographic and it became a well regarded series. Everyone excited about the remaster are looking forward to invading unsuspecting players and leaving malicious hints around that will inevitably lead to player deaths and rage.

Yeah EU4 is the best title of the current gen Paradox stuff. Usually you can get the DLC on sale and get almost everything for less than the cost of a new title. I love playing as minor nations and trying to do completely ahistorical things. My last game had Ethiopia take over all of eastern Africa and convert almost everyone to Christianity. I may have save scummed a couple of times in the early game but it still felt really satisfying.

I don't know anything about Dragonball and I like fighting games but am terrible at them. This new Dragonball Fighterz game is super cool even if I don't know anything about the characters. It's really fast and you can mash buttons and make it through the campaign. Did you ever play Ryu in Street Fighter? Learn how to throw fireballs? Can you do a quarter circle to the rear as well? Congrats you know enough to use many of the moves in the game. Everything else you pick up on the fly.

I loved my Dreamcast and played the hell out of it. It was the first new console I bought after I'd moved out on my own and the only source of internet connectivity I had. Unfortunately I also had a bootleg loader disc and could get any of the games for five bucks down at the local barber shop. I tried to do the right thing and buy the official releases. But young and broke made it easy for me to make excuses about  .

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:getting Dreamcast that x-mas eve when they were all sold out is one of my most cherished childhood moments. Those were some good days there playing Powerstone and Sonic. Do y'all remember that x-mas rush? It was insane I played Phantasy Star Online a poo poo ton. We figured out how to dupe stuff and I was space rich from selling end game weapons to people. Game was a ton of fun coop and it even had friends lists and stuff which was new for consoles back then. I also had Seaman which was a weird pet with an Asian face that I never really figured out. He mostly just kind of sat around and looked like a frog or something.

I had a bunch of terrible Sega CD games like jurrasic park and the sewer rat one where you had to shoot things on the screen and remember the directions or you died. Then again the Sega CD version of Ecco the Dolphin was one of my favorite games growing up. So it wasn't all bad.

NoNostalgia4Grover posted:Publishers see how much $$$ paradox makes from the DLC for Crusader Kings 2 & EU4, and just forget to actually um have a workable game when they try to emulate paradox's DLC strategy. The amount of DLC that Paradox puts out is out of control but you can catch most of the stuff on sale if you aren't in a rush to get the latest release AND most of the non cosmetic stuff does add a ton of new content and options to lengthen the playtime of their titles. They also never tried charging wargame money for their stuff like all of the Matrix Games crap that used to get shoveled out at $80 a pop. Additionally, they include a lot of the quality of life improvements to the base game patch that everyone gets without buying the DLC. Finally, you know that Paradox is going to keep supporting their titles for many years after release so there will always be patches and updates to fix anything gamebreaking that someone finds.

I think I am burning out a little bit on DBFZ. I am going to try to take a day or two to rest. I am at that point where I am good enough to beat the the story mode but not good enough to beat Arcade hard mode. So I do casual matches and a lot of training. I managed to win a few casual matches but get my rear end destroyed more often than not. I am sitting on like 25 hours playtime right now but most of that has been in the last week. It's a fantastic game but I need to pick a team and start to get good or I feel like I am not going to progress any further.

I've played a couple of games 50 years or so but always seem to get outpaced and outgunned by the AI as soon as I meet them. A lot of times they butt right up against where I need to expand and I wind up underpowered in my inevitable war against them. If I try to go the opposite direction the space monsters loving wreck anything I can send that way so I wind up with three or four systems I can mine resources from and I lag behind everyone else.

It's been forever since I've played but you can literally run right past the werewolves and into the sewers or into the building with the old guy in a wheelchair with the shotgun. You don't have to kill them if they give you trouble.

Dude McAwesome posted:How many war crimes have you committed friend? I think that’s what these gentlemen are asking. If the answer is greater than zero, welcome! I thought the newest GIP rules stated it was a two war crime minimum to post in the games thread. One will get you in the door but you've got to wait until you get a chance to do it again to hang with the cool kids.

Nostalgia4Butts posted:is hearts of iron 4 worth getting Not really. I probably own every Paradox strategy game and HOI4 is the least played of them. I understand the appeal of huge tech trees and running all of these "what if" scenarios. What if Mexico turned fascist and invaded the US in the late 1930s? What if the UK turned communist and helped the Soviet Union conquer Europe? But the tech trees are overly complex and most of the military units are overpriced and under performing. This will lead to you getting stomped by the AI until you go to the message boards and learn the "correct" three units to make for max damage output and after you learn the formula you will never make anything else. Is it the WWII theme that interests you or the grand strategy? Europa Universalis is a lot of fun and inxludes simplified combat rules that aren't completely broken.

Vasudus posted:I've had incredibly disappointing times with AAA games in the last 4-5 years, to the point where I largely don't buy them anymore as a rule. I bought FC5 thinking how in the world could they screw up an open world shootmans and welp. So while the idea of Destiny is tempting, I'm not about to break my #1 rule - NO MMOs. I am like the exact opposite I guess because my most memorable video game playing time has been with MMOs. My wife, my son, and I all played Everquest 2 together for several years. We started a guild and made friends with other nerds whom we've met up with in person and kept in touch with even though it's been like 6 or 7 years since we played EQ2 together.

A Bad Poster posted:Alright, I'm staring down the barrel of two months of convalescent leave, during which I won't really be able to walk, so I need some game recommendations. I've got a PS4, Xbox One and a decent gaming laptop so I'm open to anything. I hear Battletech is where it's at right now, but I've also got The Witcher 3 with all the DLC which I haven't really played at all, along with a ton on other stuff. Not really into stuff that's too difficult, just something kind of easy to zone out and play. Was thinking of restarting a town in Stardew Valley. Stardew Valley is what I played after my surgery. I didn't do any pain medication so I needed something that wasn't too involved because the first week or so was pretty rough pain wise. Also Rimworld is easy to fall into if you want a light Dwarf Fortress-esque game to mess around with.

Also I've been playing through the Megaman games on the Switch and have found they hold up way better than I thought they would. I remember buying Megaman 2 at a yard sale for 4 dollars back in the early 90s and managed to play through most of the NES ones. I never followed the series after it's jump to the SNES but the old school games were super fun and still manage to be.
