Jamfrost posted:Rare Steam achievements having a glowing aura around them makes me feel special. Right? Plus, a lot of the time they're for simple stuff like finishing a late-game area, which makes me feel even special-er because I'm apparently the rare Steam user who actually finishes the games he plays.

Mierenneuker posted:I own Cryostasis on my Steam account. I should reinstall it at some point to see how terribly it runs. It’s a timeless benchmarking tool really! I actually tried playing through it last month; it ran fine at first, but 3-ish hours in, I was getting crash upon crash. No amount of settings switching-around seemed to fix it. It's a shame too, because it's a decent game otherwise.

StrixNebulosa posted:Sometime in the last month I finally crossed the line: I now own over 2,000 games in my steam library. I'm currently scrolling through my unsorted games and being occasionally surprised - "when did I buy that? / why did I buy that?" - and you'd think I could stop buying games now, but alas, no, my wishlist is still going strong. Meanwhile, I'm down around 350, though after a not-insignificant amount of pruning (yes, actually deleted them from my account, I'm a weirdo). Now I'm going through the remainder by purchase order; I recently knocked out the first Amnesia, Hitman: Blood Money, and one of the mid-00s Tomb Raider games in the space of two weeks

Rappaport posted:That's what happened in the original version too, to be fair. I knew one of the original games had dinos, but I'd no idea that they popped up so early in the grand scheme of things Coming from Legend, which has an entirely different sense of pacing and level design (which makes sense, being an actual original game instead of a remake like Anniversary is) it was more than a little surprising.

DrNutt posted:Working my way through Jedi Fallen Order since the other half bought it for my birthday and holy gently caress how did this game make it out of testing with zero fast travel options. Even Dark Souls had primal bonfires. I even googled it to see if maybe I missed a tooltip or something but know, if you want to track down a missing poncho or a force echo, you gotta hoof it all the way there. And then you get to do a return trip to get to your ship. And honestly, it wouldn't even be that bad except that one planet in particular is a giant loving mess and it's hard to figure out how to get to entire chunks of the map because the map is so god damned hard to read. I just can't believe that no one at any point during development though "hey this sucks and isn't very fun." It's really the sole thing keeping me from replaying the game. The shortcuts help, but it's still a major pain to track down those last few missed collectibles.

pentyne posted:You can cheese the war table timed missions by changing your system clock ahead and just knocking them all out once they show up. There's quite a bit of flavor text to them to so just spamming them and not reading all the way through you can miss some fun stuff. There's also entire war table mission chains that can actually be failed/cut short if you pick the wrong advisor. Some of them actually pay out pretty well if you handle them right.

I wouldn't mind having it set on steam, but i'd rather not redownload this massive game From what I recall, you download the launcher from Steam, open it but don't sign in, then close it. Then you copy the previous install's files over to the Steam folder.

FutureCop posted:Any opinion on Halo nowadays? I've never played it as I've never had an Xbox in my household, but I was a bit curious as to experience this landmark game and wondering if doing a coop campaign through the series could be fun. However, part of me is thinking that might be a bad idea as 1) it's probably very outdated and far from the new intense action I crave from games like Dusk or Doom Eternal 2) I mostly just play for the spectacle and combat and try to avoid long cutscene games, so I don't know if the lore and story is gonna have any impression on me and 3) maybe Halo was known for its PvP multiplayer instead, which I'm not interested in, so perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place and I should just get Deep Rock Galactic or something instead for coop fun. I'm currently playing the MCC thanks to a very generous Steam friend, just playing through the original game solo on Heroic (the 2nd highest difficulty). I don't have much nostalgia for the franchise, but I'm actually quite enjoying it. Even Halo: CE has aged pretty well even after all these years, and I find it pretty easy to pick up for a short session. Like it's not DOOM-level intense but it's still pretty smooth. The first game is simliar to the original Star Wars in that there's occasional allusions to a larger universe but 95% of the time it's just shooty lasers. Halo CE definitely has more in common with Half-Life 1 than 2 in the ways you described.

I was pruning my wishlist last night, and it struck me as weird that with at least some delisted games (Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition in this case) you can just... pop over to a site like CDKeys and drop 2 bucks on a key, and it activates just fine. Wonder how many others are like that.

Fallom posted:I know it must've been hard to come up with new ideas in Shadow of the Tomb Raider but having stealth sections against loving fish is just embarrassing. I played that section just yesterday (the one with all the piranhas and air pockets) and found it surprisingly tense. Granted, it may just be because the rest of the game has been fairly easy (like what's the point of a stealth option when you can gun down all of your opposition in like 10 seconds anyway, plus the added XP can easily be made up elsewhere) though. Speaking of SOTTR; anyone know why it's disconnecting and reconnecting my external HDD every time I boot the game? Its not like I'm running it off that drive, so I don't think it's a failure issue. I don't know if it's related, but I noticed the game also resets my fullscreen and DLSS settings (to non-exclusive and off, respectively) every time I boot as well.

exquisite tea posted:They did really downplay the combat in Shadow. I think there's a whole 10 hour section in the middle where you can just do tombs in and around Paititi with no shooting at all. Yep. The most combat-y it gets for a long while is a scripted segment where you run away from guards. Though, as I discovered today, there are some shooty funtimes when you get the shotgun. Fallom posted:I appreciate that they made the combat trivial but that only emphasizes how pointless the combat is in this game. They do a great job putting Lara in extremely perilous situations and designing neat machinery and tombs, and those things are way more entertaining than stabbing some random contractor in the neck. Why not focus on the strengths? It also works pretty well narratively, as the game sets up that Lara has been systematically hunting down and wiping out Trinity cells. Shooting dudes should be near inconsequential to her by this point. Cross-Section fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Feb 8, 2021 |
