LtCol J. Krusinski posted:Anyone played Diablo 3 since they added the necromancer? I've just started a new necromancer on my xbone, and I'm really liking the play style so far. Downloading the patch now. Haven't done any research about this, is it a ranged or melee class? I've only ever played Diablo 3 in single player so far and I found the melee classes way more entertaining in that aspect of the game.

Nick Soapdish posted:Don't know if anyone still plays FTL but, remember not to skimp on value point in O2. Was playing the Stealth B, Hard Mode, Balance Mod, got to the Flag Ship. Hacking landed O2, first volley knocked out my O2, by the time I repaired it was in single digits and everyone was dead. My ship was basically alpha strike with Glave, Flak I, weapon preignitor, and hacking. Moral of the story, don't neglect "minor" systems. Still a really fun game that I love going back to between other games. I've completed that game exactly once on easy, and I tend to get my rear end handed to me about ~50% through on normal. I don't think I've even bothered with hard so far.

For some reason I've ended up with a Nintendo 3DS. This is the first time in a decade or so I've owned a Nintendo system. I'm completely unfamiliar with the thing. What are some decent games for it, Mario and Zelda are safe bets I assume?

Handsome Ralph posted:Zelda Between Worlds is fantastic, as is Super Mario 3D Land. Mario Kart 7 is pretty great too. If you like strategy games, the first Fire Emblem game isn't too bad, there's a Ghost Recon game that is decent as well. I got A Link Between Worlds. It's fun! Didn't realize how similar it was to A Link to the Past. I'm vaguely familiar with Majora's Mask on N64 so I'll probably get that next. Edit: feels weird to download Nintendo games. I'm so used to them sticking to cartridges. Nuclear Tourist fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Dec 6, 2017 |

I came to really enjoy the first Dark Souls, but I can see why people don't like it. It's an acquired taste, the Marmite of video games if you will. I still consider beating Ornstein & Smough one of the most satisfying moments I've ever had in a game though. Goddamn it felt good to lay the smackdown on those bastards after ~25 tries.

Mustang posted:Andromeda was depressing because Mass Effect was by far my favorite series. 2 was the best but I think 1 is my favorite, the atmosphere of the game was just perfect. I still play through it every couple of years. To this day Mass Effect 2 remains the game on Steam that I've put the most hours into. I was on a Babylon 5 bender at the time and the game felt like a lot like that but I could also play as an evil, vindictive motherfucker. What's not to like?

Mustang posted:Anyone play Endless Space 2? It's an free weekend for Endless games. Looks pretty cool and has a great soundtrack though I have no idea what I'm doing. I think I played Endless Space 2 for about 30 minutes before I uninstalled it. I suspect twenty year old me would probably have loved it, but these days I don't have any patience for games that require me to sperg out for hours on UI details and gameplay subtleties before I'm able to enjoy it. If you're into Stellaris you'll probably have a good time with it. I have played quite a lot of Endless Legend though. Not quite sure if the UI was easier to grasp or if I just liked the setting/theme better.

Just got Everspace for 70% off on Steam. This game is pretty drat fun, I think it's the first space combat sim I've played since uuuh... TIE Fighter in the mid 90's. Too bad my potato computer can only squeak by on medium settings, because this would look loving amazing with graphics maxed out.

Radical 90s Wizard posted:anyone playing Art of Rally? Just released today, fun little top-down Group B inspired rally game, with a nice art style and a pretty dope synthwave soundtrack. I fuckin suuuuuuck at it but it's satisfying as hell when you start to nail some corners. I got Art of Rally yesterday and promptly sunk 9 hours into it. I don't recall having this much fun with a racing game since the early Colin McRae Rally titles in the late 90's/early 2000's. It definitely takes a while to get used to how the cars handle, and at first it'll feel like you're maneuvering a wet bar of soap around, especially on rainy/snowy tracks, but once your nail a perfect handbrake turn around a tight hairpin though... unf I also really dig the music, which is usually the first thing I turn off in a racing game. I also like how nothing is licensed, so they've had to get creative when it comes to naming the cars you're driving. What is obviously a Lancia Stratos is now "La Wedge", the Audi Quattro is "Das Hammer", the BMW M1 is "Das Uberwhip" etc. I think I'll be spending a lot of time playing this.

I guess we'll see how it shapes up but Shadowlands looks like it might be the most promising WoW expansion for years. Haven't played Overwatch for a long time now, but I had a lot of fun with it when it was first released, I doubt I'd even recognize the game if I logged in now. Still have fond memories of blowing people up with Junkrat. As for Diablo 3, the Reaper of Souls expansion really was a huge improvement and made it the game that it should have been from the beginning. Sure, the story is still a load of eye-rolling claptrap and the always online requirement is still annoying, but you just don't care because you're too busy looking for the next congregation of monstrosities to dispatch in a cascade of fire and ragdoll physics.

pantslesswithwolves posted:I started replaying The Ancient Gods Part I on the easiest difficulty so I could at least get the story before I start Part II. Being able to beat every fight without even trying much (I 100%’d Doom Eternal on UV) has really let me be a content tourist and appreciate the super awesome environments and level design. There’s a lot of fine detail and cool stuff that you might otherwise miss when you have an Archvile breathing down your neck. Same here, completed the original game on UV difficulty including all secrets and unlockables but The Ancient Gods part 1 kicked my rear end to the point where I gave up halfway through Blood Swamps. Maybe I should just swallow my dignity and dial down the difficulty so I can actually see the content, even though playing it on anything less than ultra-violence feels like a crime. I feel like my git gud juice for these kind of high intensity FPS games ran out like 10 years ago.

It's a neat love letter to the best motorsport. Awesome groovy synthwave soundtrack too. And I like how they couldn't afford to license anything, so they had to get a bit creative with naming the cars. What is obviously a BMW M1 is das uberwhip, the Lancia 037 is il monster, the Volvo 240 is turbo brick etc. edit: juuuumps, Walter Röhrl you suuuuuck Nuclear Tourist fucked around with this message at 01:53 on May 4, 2021 |

Picked up Control (Ultimate Edition with all the DLC included) on a Steam sale a few months ago and promptly dumped 65 hours into it, and I cannot say enough good things about that game. It's like The Matrix merged with Twin Peaks.

CommieGIR posted:If you are a WRC nut like me, Art of Rally is a must buy. Its much more enjoyable than dirt, with a soundtrack that matches the atmosphere. Drive hard and fast on the wings of synthwave my friend. I recently started obsessing over time attack mode and managed to get into the top 5% on a handful of stages. This game is so much fun. Also, very addictive photo mode.
