Apologies if this has been discussed already, I'm not trying to open a can of worms or anything. I picked up the Halo Master Chief collection late last year and finally loaded it up to play it, and it is demanding I sign in with a Microsoft Account (and also there was no exit button, I had to task manager my way out). Is there a way to NOT do this, because I don't have one and have no intentions of making one.

Johnny Truant posted:Gonna start The Witchehhhh 3 today, any mods that are absolutely essential? I'm not joking when I say get the "scabbards for everyone" mod. Every sword in the game has a specific scabbard but the base game only gave them to Geralt if I remember right. The mod gives all the NPCs the relevant scabbard for their sword and for some reason it makes a huge difference to immersion. At least it did in my case anyway.

PantsBandit posted:Kakarot is definitely a bummer. I'm a sucker for even the most menial DBZ filler plots, so I would love a game that is slavish in re-telling all that stuff. Tangentially related, playing AC: Odyssey with their naval combat, large islands for exploration, constantly refreshing mercenaries in a tiered power list with different abilities, and established power structures you can topple made me realize that the perfect structure already exists for a fantastic One Piece game I will probably NEVER get

Azran posted:I really like short, replayable games like Into the Breach, Dungeon of the Endless, FTL or Invisible Inc where you unlock more characters/equipment as you go on, but I haven't had much fun with traditional roguelikes (mostly because most of them have kinda ugly UIs and that's a major bummer for me). Anyway, I'm looking for recommendations. Any ideas? Have you tried Hades? It's a blast, looks real pretty, and is relatively short at the moment though they're still developing stuff for it. It's one of the only Early Access games I ever got and I don't regret it in the slightest.

Yeah Noita is really loving good too, though as noted your entire inventory resets every time you die and it is pretty reliant on the particular gameworld you get giving you access to the right combination of things to make real progress.

Ripper Swarm posted:I couldn't agree more, as long as you mean player guns. The moment I figured out cops could get through EVERY door no matter how tight the security was, AND that I had the ability to frame people locked away behind secure doors with horrible crimes, was a very good day. I think the "Google (but not)" HQ mission literally involved me just casually walking from the reception to the secret lab or whatever it was after having the cops arrest everybody in my way and leave all the doors open for me

Wow, Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap looks EXACTLY as I remember it from 1989, what the hell changes did they make? The graphics are IDENTICAL to how I remember. I'll just hit this button that shows the original graphics to prove this point!     Also they kept the ending where Wonder Boy gets to go home and the text says good night

Begemot posted:Also, One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 came out today, and so far it looks and feels like a very solid musou game. Doesn't cover as much of the One Piece story as the last one, but that's hardly the main goal. That series is ridiculously long, nearing 1000 chapters of the manga, so it makes sense that they're focusing more on the recent stuff. Literally steal the code from AC: Odyssey and turn it into a One Piece game, BANDAI NAMCO you cowards.

A friend bought me NIOH at the last big Steam sale, and I finally got around to playing it today. It feels like a really off-brand Dark Souls on first impression, and I was kind of shocked to see it came out as recently as 2017. Does it improve after the Tower of London and I just need to get over the initial hump or is this indicative of the game going forward? I'd like to give it a proper chance, especially considering it was a gift, but not if I'm gonna be banging my head against the same wall for 20-30 hours.

Xaris posted:I personally did not like it a all. generally what you see is what you get. there is virtually no enemy variety and you will see the same chained dick n balls boss, but now two. the level design kind of stays the same mushy gray/navy blues, and rng loot inventory management doesn't get better. the real 'hook' is the combat but if you aren't into it, it doesn't really change. Thanks, doesn't sound like my type of thing sadly. I will give it another try just on the off-chance something clicks, but it sounds like wherever I end up stopping playing I won't actually be missing out on anything I won't have already seen.

So Dragon Age Inquisition is finally available on Steam: how has it held up in a post-Witcher 3 world? Worth playing still? I loved Origins, never played 2, and I remember people raving about Inquisition when it first came out.

I remember the original Mirror's Edge being a blast right up until the point that they forced combat on you, despite the entire game plot AND mechanics wise seemingly designed for being a runner who AVOIDS getting into fights and ideally never gets spotted at all. Does Catalyst do the same thing?

Cartoon Man posted:I also went through my steam library and put together the following list of “good games I really should’ve played by now”, and would like hear suggestions on what to play next. Some of this list is pretty shameful... Of the ones I've played, I'd recommend most highly: Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY Tomb Raider 2013 Prey (newest one) In that order. They're all great, but Asylum is the oldest so probably the most "archaic". The Tomb Raider reboot is superb and probably the prettiest of the games, but Prey is a masterpiece and the most fun to play. That might make you decide to reverse the order!

Arkham City is the best of the three as an overall game, but Arkham Knight is great too and while being forced to do the Batmobile stuff is annoying, the actual gameplay part of it is perfectly fine. It just feels like the game when they finally jammed just a little too much of EVERYTHING into it. I love those games though, even Arkham Origins is fun despite being made by a different studio and clearly not having the polish of the other games. Edit: But yes, do NOT play them back-to-back, you will get major burnout.

Sankara posted:I really enjoy the combat of the Arkham games, but the whole "Batman" part is not something I'm fond of. The "Hand of Fate" games have similar combat, and those are great. Are there any other games in that vein? I know this is the Steam thread and a lot of very good alternatives have already been listed, but if you have a PS4 I do highly recommend the new Spider-Man game, which features Arkham style combat and is a pure and wholesome love letter to the Spider-Man character.

Do any other games use anything like Shadow of Mordor/War's Nemesis system? It's such a wonderful thing in the game even if sometimes the game thinks some guy you killed 70 hours earlier and forgot about was your ultimate enemy and brings them back for dramatic revenge in the climax.

Yeah okay, I'm bouncing off Nioh pretty hard. I got to the Boss at the end of the fishing village and after a few times getting destroyed I figured my strategy was the wrong one because I was getting nowhere. I looked up how to fight him and apparently I'm using exactly the right strategy but the fight is just an exercise in frustration. It's just a matter of taking forever to chip away at his health bar combined with him easily killing me with two shots/only having four elixirs, so I've just been left in an endless series of repetitions of running to the Boss, fighting for 5-10 minutes doing very little damage, getting KOed by a single shot after running out of elixir, repeat. Whatever it is about Dark Souls games that makes me willing to put up with multiple deaths to get past a Boss I'm just not feeling with Nioh.

I have hundreds of hours across both the new Hitman games and I still felt a pang of regret after I completed every possible achievement/challenge and decided to uninstall to free up Hard Drive space... like maybe I still hadn't quite gotten enough gameplay out of it or something The Hitman games are just incredible, please everybody play them.
