I'd like to buy Far Cry Primal. It looks like the lowest it's been though is $25 and I don't see them putting it much lower than that. I don't think I want to play that game enough to pay more than $15-$20.

Far Cry: Primal is $25, further cementing the Steam sale's status as completely redundant in today's marketplace.

Warhammer is worth the price I think. The factions are so unique, both in combat and the overworld, that you can really get a lot of mileage out of replaying it. At this point I've done campaigns as Orcs, Vampires, and humans and they all were a lot of fun. Even the individual sub-factions within a race are quite unique.

Meant to post this here and accidentally posted it in the general thread. Whoops! How's Wildlands for coop? Is it entertaining enough to be worth $40 if I'm just looking for something to play while I shoot the poo poo with one or two buds?

Utnayan posted:It's bland. Nothing like the original Ghost Recons. I would wait further for it to drop to $19-29. If you haven't played Borderlands 2 or the PreSequel that would be way more fun with your buds. My problem with Borderlands is it's so completely mindless and all the difficulty is artificial. There's no strategy other than "charge in and shoot, wait for shields to regen" and zero gameplay variety. Apparently at the new game + level you have to start using elemental stuff more but even that seems like a lame way to increase difficulty.

I don't understand why Wolfenstein TNO and The Old Blood are the same price when The Old Blood is half as long and not as good. It strikes me as something that should have been down to $5 a long time ago.

Counter-opinion: Fallout 4 is good and fun as long as you don't have a ton of expectations about the game it's supposed to be and just enjoy it for what it is.

Too Shy Guy posted:Dead Cells is the big temptation for me this year. I don't really want to get it until it's complete but man, I've watched some streamers play it and it just looks soooooooooo fuuuuuuuun. It's like Subnautica was for me last year, I wanted to hold off until it was done but I've started like three new games of it in the past few months. I'd say go for it. There's a ton of content in it as is (I have ~10 hours and am still unlocking new weapons and tools). Also they just added in a new boss that's a completely unbalanced and glitchy mess, so it's very unlikely you'll see the end anytime soon  Yeah Dead Cells is in a really good place right now though.

Cool, thanks for the thoughts on W_D2 everyone. I'm learning towards picking it up at this point. It's been a while since I played a drivey-shootey open world game and I actually enjoyed the original game enough to finish it.

Penpal posted:I haven't played ground zeroes or MGS5 at all, would MGS5 be a good pick for 23.99 canadian beaver tails? I've heard that it's a little scatter brained and there is an hour before the game really starts. I don't really care about the extras or grounds zeroes so I'll be getting the base version. MGS5 is a great game with some deep, deep flaws when it comes to story telling and pacing. The core stealth gameplay though is world-class, so if you're at all into the genre it's an easy recommendation.

ArbitraryC posted:Yeah these were the complaints that I was questionable about, cause i enjoy optionable objectives that encourage rushing but I find mandatory limits stressful and unfun. I'm not really a sit and wait player in turn based strategies, but seeing them ticking down just invariably puts me on edge. Are they lenient enough that it's not that bad or do they really put your nose to the grinder? Sometimes they will, most times though as long as you're moving you shouldn't have too much trouble. Also there's quite a few levels that don't have timers, the whole thing is really overblown.

I honestly don't consider Dead Cells to be much like souls at all, short of the fact that you have a currency that you lose if you don't make it to a checkpoint. Even then, it's not like you can get it back once you die.

McCoy Pauley posted:Having just started Hollow Knight after putting a few hours into Dead Cells, I agree with you that HK feels floaty and less responsive than one might like. The aesthetic and the sound design are great, and I'll stick with it, but in comparison, Dead Cells feels incredibly tight and responsive in the controls -- it just handles exactly like I want a Metroidvania to handle. The second rune doesn't come from the Watcher, it comes from beating a sub-boss in the sewers.

McCoy Pauley posted:I'm not even sure who that first guy you mention is -- I must not have encountered him yet. I'm talking about the sewers guy. I guess I need to just keep buffing weapons. Oh, ok. Yeah with anything other than one of the big bosses you're going to want to hit them with CC. The other thing is looking for good combos. For example, a broadsword that does 2x damage leaves you vulnerable, but if you can freeze the guy first with an ice grenade you can nuke him before he can do anything.

I don't know that I'd say Dead Cells is nearly complete. The game abruptly ends and they've said they want to double the amount of content currently available before release.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:Oh, that's crazy. The few people I've talked to about it have said it's "pretty much a full game." I think when people say that they're just saying that what is there feels fully formed. It's shorter than it's going to be and they're still adding a lot, but what's there is really good.

Liu posted:so how good is Hitman? I played the demo and it seemed alright, but it kinda felt like it never goes beyond finding out which cup your target drinks from, poisoning it, then drowning him in his own sick in the toilet. also it seemed easy. are there more fun ways to kill people There are so many ways to kill people in Hitman it's loving ludicrous. The difficulty in finding them is up to you, by default the game gives you quite a bit of guidance but you can turn off the hints to make it more free-form. And yes, it does get tough. Many of the targets will be surrounded by guards so you have to figure out when they are the most isolated, or how to get them isolated barring that. Get Hitman, it's great.

There was one mission where you have to kill a movie star. I ended up stumbling into his trailer without realizing it. Then he entered after me, barring my exit. I ended up killing him with a prop axe he had in the trailer and hiding in the closet until the guards who came to investigate gave up. Suffice it to say, I did not get silent assassin on that one.

At one point I saw a target go into a keycard-protected room that I didn't have access to. "This is my chance!" I thought to myself, and followed him in for the kill. I then realized that you need to swipe a card to get out, too. I was trapped. I had to pull the fire alarm to get someone to come let me out. Not Agent 47's finest moment.

Awesome! posted:wouldnt the guy have the key card on him? You would think, but no. One of the weird things about that game is characters that should definitely have keycards (cleaning staff at a hotel for example) have nothing on them. Generally there's a few specific places to find a card.

explosivo posted:Just Cause 3 worth $13? I bought it when it released but ended up refunding it because of the always online stuff crashing constantly and generally seeming pretty meh overall. Have they changed/fixed any of the buggy always online bullshit? The performance is largely hit and miss it seems. I bought a new graphics card recently and went back to see if it improved performance but JC3 still runs like absolute horse-poo poo. That isn't everyone's experience though. I'd say check it out, if the performance is garbage get a refund. In terms of gameplay it's Just Cause 2 only slighter prettier and with a wingsuit. Also about a billion activities that get insanely repetitive, but they're thankfully optional.

Shadow225 posted:Dark Souls 3 and Bioshock Infinite are fine if you are a fan of either franchise. Don't buy into the goon hyperbole. Goons seem to have an absurd amount of hatred for Bioshock: Infinite for some reason. I found it pretty entertaining and it goes to some interesting places. Wasn't incredible or anything but the way goons describe it you'd think it was just an animated gif of Ken Levine making GBS threads on a puppy or something.

I want to make my traditional recommendation of One Way Heroics Plus http://store.steampowered.com/app/352840/One_Way_Heroics_Plus/ It's Don't let the art style put you off. It's got great music, tons of charm, and a ton of variety. I thought it was good when it was just "One Way Heroics", then they added the "Plus" expansion, more than doubling the amount of content, and it became a game that is an absolute must-have for any fans of the genre. edit: Apparently it's $4.53 for the full package. Still more than worth it. PantsBandit fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Jun 28, 2017 |

My issue with Starbound is it doesn't feel like a universe to explore, it feels like a bunch of randomly generated terrains separated by loading screens. To be fair, that's literally what it is, but they don't do a good job of maintaining an illusion. In Terraria, the world the game generates in for you serves the purpose of being your playground. You tunnel through it, build a base, have consistent growth. Starbound on the other hand encourages you to constantly leave your progress behind in the interest of seeing new worlds or whatever, but it doesn't really give you any incentive to do so.

I just wish Vanillaware would port their games to PC so I could get a decent deal on one instead of having to pay out the nose. Amazon has Odin Sphere PS4 for $67  I think I own Dust though so maybe I'll play that. I'll just squint real hard.
