Anyone know if today's Cyberpunk stream will be available somewhere other than Twitch? While I can access the site at work, I just get "Network error" when the video player actually tries to do anything

Perfect, thanks. I looked at CDPR's YouTube channel and it didn't look like they're very active there. Sure hope this game doesn't end up sucking but I feel like it can't possibly live up to the hype at this point.

I picked up Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun on a whim last weekend and holy drat I'm having so much fun with it. Has anyone here played Desperados 3 yet? How does it compare?

Yea I was looking at what else the devs did and that's how I found it  I just wasn't sure how much "more of the same" it is, or if the Cowboy themes made it significantly different.

Edmond Dantes posted:The Ezio trilogy is fantastic, and all this talk about AC is making me want to give Odyssey a try because I keep hearing fantastic things about it, but I recently tried to get back into Syndicate (was free on Epic) and just bounced off after a couple hours. :< As previously mentioned, I picked up Blades of the Shogun, as well as AC Odyssey and Grim Dawn off the Steam Sale and I gotta say I have been the least tempted to play Odyssey out of the 3. I'm just so tired of Open World games  At least I can just get on my horse and press a button to have it automatically take me to my destination.Game doesn't seem bad, but I've played so much Far Cry, The Witcher, Fallout etc. the last few years that I'm just starting to find the core concept of "Waste your time running around this giant loving map" to be extremely tedious. I also failed to get into Horizon Zero Dawn and Breath of the Wild too for similar reasons (but also I just don't actually enjoy gaming on consoles I think). I'm just starting to feel like if you've played one moderately well polished open world Action / Adventure game you've pretty much played them all.

Just chiming in, I beat Shadow Tactics last week and moved right on to Desperados 3 and yea, these games are a real pleasure. I have 27 hours logged on ST, according to Steam. A lot of the missions have challenges to do any given level in under like 15 minutes but they all took me over an hour pretty much. So if you're a completionist I think there's a lot of value in trying to really master every level.

Watch Dogs 2 is  I have the first one but I don't think I put more than like 30 minutes into it, honestly.The cover system felt much less fluid than Deus Ex HR/MD and so I very quickly gave up on it, probably during one of my depressive episodes where I couldn't be bothered to actually learn a new game  Either way, is 2 any better? I'm probably going to just be playing Desperados for the next week or two, but I don't know what I'll play after that.

exquisite tea posted:THQ bought the rights from the State of Rhode Island & Providence Plantations last year, so I can no longer recommend the game because I will not be seeing any more residuals. Any idea what they bought it for? Quick Google search and I can't find it, but most websites are blocked at work. I had no love for the game, but as a former Rhode Islander I was bummed that it bombed. I had a lot of friends interning / applying for jobs at 38 Studios when I was in college. Definite a stupid loving investment from the state though.

Hopefully whoever came up with the idea that NPCs should be able to shoot you out of the air, kidnap you, and subject you to dumb ball-tripping story missions in 5 was themselves shot out of the air and kidnapped

Desperados 3 - Act 3 I just did the mission where you have to stop the train and OH BOY did I use whats-her-face to Lure so many men onto the train tracks so they'd get run over. 10/10 game I've been so into any kind of tactical game this year - Fell Seal, Gears Tactics, Shadow Tactics and now this. I need more.

ketchup vs catsup posted:I assume you’ve already played through the three commandos games from the late 90s/early 2000s? Never heard of 'em! Walh Hara posted:Iron Danger perhaps? It's pretty neat and unique. Never heard of Iron Danger, but it looks cool. I tried to get into DOS/DOS2 but I just couldn't. I feel like I should love the series, but there's just so much time spent walking around and other slow moments. I don't care for story in games and just want a tight, focused experience - so Shadow Tactics/Desperados being "quick tiny cutscene and then jump right in" is exactly what my ADHD brain needs. So while DOS has decent tactical fights, there's just too much slow Role Playing aspect that kills me

Anno posted:DQ11 coming to PC (and console) Gamepass on December 4th. Pretty good get. Seems worthwhile to check out on Gamepass, but I bought this a few months ago and while I was enjoying it at first the combat very quickly got stale IMO. Don't get new or interesting abilities quickly enough and I felt like combat was always just, "Hit with Sword" I did get the second party member but didn't play too much past that. How many more hours for it to become more interesting to play?

Also just game sizes themselves ballooning up to match increased disk sizes, and in theory internet speeds should get faster to make it easier to cram 300GB games onto your drive too. So I've seen mixed reviews about the HZD port, what's the word from actual real people with average computers not trying to play it @ 4K?

Cactus posted:I'm on an Intel Core i7-8700K 3.70GHz, a GTX 970 and 16GB RAM looking to play at 2560x1440 so it's looking like I'm going to have to wait for this one. I'd be curious to hear from anyone with similar specs that takes the plunge how well it does though.  Although my i5 is older but I have 32GB of RAM. But yea 970 + 1440p is probably more important than either of those details.

In AssCreed:Odyssey, are the Cultists "laid out" in order by level or anything like that? I'm maybe somewhere around level 25-29, I've done most of the 2 top-left branches but the last guy in that branch is like fuckin' level 45 or something. I just want to grind them to get my Level 5 Spear so I can max out my poison skills Should I just plug on through the story?

I'm not actually too sure how the levels work but I've been having some success just working on a different cultist if I have one that's too high level then coming back later. It took me a while to realize that it's giving you hints how to "discover" them.

The Joe Man posted:I wouldn't read this guide since from what I know and have played, it'll likely ruin a few story surprises. Just relax and find them as you go: some are tied to the main quest, some are random/found through clues scattered around in camps, some are at sea (look for unique sail designs), etc... Fortunately IDGAF about story I don't even know what the story is, (spoilers I guess??) My brother leads a cult so therefore I guess I need to go find my mom?

I'm a big fan of the Siralim games. Dragon Warrior Monster / Pokemon style "Build a Party" where every single monster has a unique passive trait that really mixes up how your party compliments each other. Virtually no real story to speak of, so just get the latest on ( Siralim 3). Siralim Ultimate, which makes some huge improvements to the game, is due out later this year / early next. They're great for just picking up, grind a few levels, put it back down. The series is also available on multiple platforms and you can share saves across PC and Mobile, so it's fun to play quickly on the go, too.

I'm trying out Defiler now, it's pretty cool. I suspect the poop sockers will only really go for the hyper aggro specs that just let you murder everything like Hell Knight that gets Crit bonuses or whatever, as opposed to that one that buffs your dudes the longer a fight goes on but it's all still cool to me

Morter posted:As someone who liked all three games but never got far in the 3rd one, should I keep going on that or should I jump onto Ultimate? I'd say jump on the Ultimate wagon if you can. There are 15 specs in the game now (and like 10 more from Kickstarter Stretch Goals?) with very flavorful perks. Also you can Fuse monsters together, resulting in a creature that has both parents' Traits, which really opens your party composition up to some insane combinations. Also the UI has been really modernized with colored text and images/icons for many things. 3 was definitely "More the same but better" and while that's true of Ultimate, just how much polish and love has been put into this is vastly greater than the improvements from 1 to 2, or 2 to 3.

3 is good but Ultimate feels so so much better. $32 is pretty steep but there seems to be plenty of content so far. I've probably put in about 15 hours spread across 5 different Specializations so far and am having fun each time I re-roll. I definitely wouldn't blame someone for not wanting to spend that much on the game and go with #3 instead, but if you're not overly concerned with spending the extra $15 I think SU is well worth it, if you don't want to wait for the official launch. I assume the Beta won't be any cheaper?

perc2 posted:Might be worth waiting for this: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1289810/Siralim_Ultimate/ I mean Ultimate still boils down to the same, "Turn on Turbo mode and hold down the Confirm button" it's just that the new Creature Fusing system is way more interesting, character Specializations are much more "flavourful" and they removed boring "+Attack%" Perks and overhauled how casting spells works. But it's still the same core Assign Macros / Set Default Actions and blow up the screen, just now with a better and more colorful UI I wouldn't call it an "RPG Maker game" because the amount of triggers firing all the time from all sorts of actions is quite impressive, but if you're expecting some super reactionary combat you're probably going to be disappointed?

Having absolutely 0 issues running 1080p at usually 60 fps, with Ultra settings pretty much. My PC does have 32 GB Ram however, unlike above poster. Sweet. I've got 32GB as well, although I suspect playing at 1440 I'll have to drop settings heavily. Cardiovorax posted:Oh, it was by no means a bad game, I just meant to say that it was a very by-the-numbers third person shooter that doesn't really do anything special. If not for the license, there wouldn't be much of anything about the game that stands out, which was (understandably, I think) a rather common review complaint at the time. The jetpack sections with the giant hammer were cool, though. Made you feel like a drat meteor when you slammed down on things. Ah, yea that's fair - if it were some random original IP it would be pretty whatever.
