veedubfreak posted:Someone suggested Darkest Dungeon to me a while back. Games looks hella tedious, is this a proper view? It is in fact super-duper-hella tedious, but you can change some values in some text files and 100% remove the grind so you only have to actually play the game and not re-re-re-play the game to get more mats. Once you completely remove the need to farm gold or heirloom (by adding a 9 to the front of gems' values and setting the exchange on all heirlooms to 9-for-1 so you can create infinite and full-upgrade your town), the actual dungeon-delving parts are hella fun. Then once you get sick of missing/not actually getting your dots, you can change the hit/infect chance %'s by raising them 100% each so they actually land on the level 3 monsters.

OK, now I need the thread's advice: Resident Evil VII or PREY? Things to note: 1) I am a scaredy-cat who had trouble with Amnesia (and still haven't gone back after nope-ing out) so if things are all jump-scares and nervous tension I am right out 2) I am a terrible shot and actually pretty bad at hitting what I'm aiming at, as I grew up a console gamer. 3) Games with respawning enemies can gently caress right off, I'm not playing them. If I clear a room, it needs to stay cleared. REVII looks like it might be too scary for me, but PREY sounds super-difficult with constantly running out of ammo? Which of these games are better for a single playthrough? I never, ever, ever play games a second time, but I am all-in for tearing my ticket and taking the ride once-through?

btw The Dweller is a cool 49˘ right now and is a breezy, funny puzzle game where you play as the spirit of the earth attacking and killing archaeologists by dropping rocks on them, eating them or scaring them into running off cliffs. VERY highly recommend.

FauxLeather posted:Neither of those games sound like your thing. I can't really recommend either to you in good faith you'll enjoy one. You might have the most joy with Prey though, it's less scary and you can clumsily whack things with a pipe. Can I play Prey on easy so I can actually beat the game and enjoy it? Difficult games make no sense to me, no other media/art in the world does that.

Samuringa posted:Uh, neither? RE7 is heavy into horror so that's ruled out by 1 and Prey has respawning enemies, limited ammo and tense surroundings so ruled out by all three.  thanks goons. Guess it's back to Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy. No AAA concensus GOTY for me, just fun walking simulators and RPGs that I like and enjoy.

veedubfreak posted:I'm more of a jump in, play for an hour, go do something else type of games. My attention span and ability to have to spend an hour prepping to play the game is long gone. Suggestions? It takes you literally 5 minutes before starting to change some values in some txt files. If you get DD, I'll send you my versions and you can just overwrite them if you want. After you've done that, actually playing DD is fun as poo poo when you don't have to scramble for every piece of gold or drop vital food/torches to make room for heirlooms to take back to town.

Cheap Oddball Games you might have not known about! Euclidean - $2.50. A super-moody and atmospheric 'falling simulator' where you plummet into a world of giant, Lovecraftian horrors trying to dodge enemies until you reach the next lowest platform, while a confused Elder Thing questions what you think you are doing. It isn't great, but it is a drat sight better than its spiritual predecessor, AAaaAaaA for the Awesome. If you want a truly Lovecraftian experience, and not just 'generic horror with tentacles', Euclidean is the way to go. VR support, but gently caress paying $800 for a virtual boy. Detective Grimoire - $1.40. A fun, lightweight and (important!) fully-voice acting and cleverly animated P&C adventure game. Finish in an evening, but well worth the experience, especially at $1.40 The Dweller - 50˘. Archaeologists are going deeper into a cave to explore its secrets. YOU are the cave spirit! Crush the archaeologists by possessing a rock and falling on them! A cute little puzzle game where you get to scare Indiana Jones into running off a cliff. It's 50˘. Buy this game! Pac-Man 256 - $2.00. Yes, it's a port of a mobile runner, but if you need a local multiplayer game that's a little bit twitch-gaming, a little bit strategy, and instantly grokkable by kids, it's a fantastic little time waster that actually plays with the Pac-Man mythology (such as it is) HABITAT - $1.50 The best "tie a tyrannosaurus head and a Hot Dog Stand to the Statue of Liberty and tool around LEO until aliens show up to blow you up" simulator on the market. Now featuring an endgame! Shrecknet fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Jun 23, 2017 |

Palpek posted:More people should buy Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments which is the greatest detective game ever made and lets you freely accuse suspects and then choose if you want to go the official route or something more ambiguous. It's an amazing game when it comes to player choice and gathering evidence. That's interesting because Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper was a loving atrocity, and I assumed they were from the same developer who's put out like 8 Sherlock games in the same series. Anyone know anything about Narcosis? If VR existing means games will be made for that gimmicky poo poo instead of for normal well-adjusted, cool, smart and above-average-height gamers like the rest of us, then VR can die in a fire.

Too Shy Guy posted:I reviewed this yesterday. Short version is, it's one of the best-written and well-acted indie adventures out there. It's got a complex story running through a very interesting world that builds and builds without getting confusing or messy. The puzzles are pretty clever, but there's not a lot of exploration or flexibility; you're just playing through a very solid story. Overall it's one of the better point-and-click games I've played. Has WadjetEye learned to let people adjust the window size yet or do you still have to play in a 400x400 window with literally no options menu to adjust sound or video?

Sokani posted:I think most people mentioned the mods just so that they could say 'If you really hate it, it's removable!' so that no one misses out on a great game due to small factors. I think XCom 2 is great out of the box, and would only recommend the 'Stop Wasting My Time' mod that increases the speed of some animations and cuts down on voice lines that get repeated regularly. Bottom line is that if you liked Enemy Unknown, you will like XCom 2.  this plus the voice pack mod to make everyone sound like Overwatch characters.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:What has changed in darkest dungeon? I played for awhile at launch and it was very atmospheric and cool-seeming, but also extremely shallow. You'd pretty much seen everything by level 2-3 and it was just doing the same things over and over - very much a style over substance game. Has that been addressed at all? The new DLC adds a "your adventurers contract incurable vampirism, whose symptoms can only be abated (but not cured) via an extremely limited-drop item found while adventuring, and oh if they go to the tavern they can infect anyone else in the tavern that week" It's still very much a style-over-substance game, but it has just so goddamn much style it's almost still worth it.

John Murdoch posted:Enigmatis 2 is rad as hell. I'm a weirdo who didn't mind playing the full trilogy but 1 is an early Artifex Mundi effort and 3 is good but kind of a letdown story-wise. I haven't touched Radiant mode, but given the design philosophy of Red Hook, I'm guessing it tones down combat bullshit but still makes you have well over 1000 of every heirloom to upgrade your town and well over 200,000g to upgrade/heal your heroes... in a game that give 10-20 heirlooms and 1-2k gold per run, assuming you're perfect

OK sale is pretty much over for me unless someone buys a playset of Flagstones of Trokair from me so I can get NiER, so now what to play? I've narrowed it down to a list, but someone suggest one of these. Preference is to things that can be finished in one evening to get them into my "finished" category and off my HD. (yes, some of this stuff is old, I have just never played any of these other than Thumper which is so good I want to finish it so it's on the list, baby)

Speaking of goon-made games, The Consuming Shadow is half-off, and is a product of Yahtzee, who made Zero Punctuation reviews and offered Lowtax first dibs. Lowtax offered to pay him in exposure, and he took his talents to It is EXTREMELY low-budget, just barely above the stuff that showed up on XBox Indie Games, and has some very bad and childish art assets. That said... if you can get past that, it does a PHENOMENAL job at creeping you out. It very much feels like a spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness; what you perceive not only may not be true, but may be the game actively loving with you/your controls. No real jump scares, just excellent writing and mood/tone management.
