Katana Zero did a much better job of building upon the Hotline Miami formula. It's not <$5 and only 3-4 hours long, though.

Is the Mega Man X Legacy collection a good set of ports on steam? I see some reviews complaining about input lag, but I'm wondering if it'll even be noticeable to someone who is Bad At Video Games™ like me.

I'm interested in Fell Seal from this month's Humble Choice, but I have zero interest in any of the other games-- but currently the lowest price for Fell Seal is about the same price as a 3 game sub. Anyone willing to split a bundle with me or sell me their key for a price? EDIT: Thanks goferchan! AfricanBootyShine fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Mar 16, 2020 |

MGSV is great. It's just reached that point where the only people left who've played it and still stay in the Steam thread will pick it apart for all its flaws (which are all multiplayer or story related). But the fundamental gameplay is fantastic, and at 4 bucks it's a must buy.Paradoxish posted:Anyone have any recommendations for either a Puzzle Quest-style "casual" game or a light, turn-based roguelike-ish thing that doesn't require constant attention? I'm stuck in endless useless Zoom meetings instead of doing actual work now that one of my clients made their whole staff WFH, and I need something to occupy myself with that doesn't require a ton of attention. I played through and beat Ancient Enemy in two days of meetings, so I need something new. This might be a bit off but easy SRPGs work really well for me. King's Bounty was one I played a long a time ago during calls, more recently Fell Seal (and you can crank up the combat speed to 200% if you want). Real life option is to turn off your video (because you have a 'bad connection') and spend that time working out. I do that all of my weekly check in meetings and it's been an ok replacement for my gym time.

Cardiovorax posted:If you have ever played Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, it's basically exactly like that game. The biggest downside I've found so far is that the gameplay is incredibly slow, just like FFTA. As in, slow in terms of how quickly things happen. I've sat through more than a few fights where I just went "Christ, please let me be done with this already" because everything takes so long. It does have a 200% speed option for both animations and walk speed. I used it for all the normal battles and then turned it down to 120% for boss battles and it wasn't too bad.

How twitchy is Outer Wilds? I play most of my games through in-home streaming as my gaming PC has become our living room HTPC since Ms. Rona showed up. It's ok... It's great 95% of the time, but every so often I'll get 5-10 seconds of lag, which is works for turned based RPGs but not for a game like Doom Eternal. Would Outer Wilds be playable under these circumstances? AfricanBootyShine fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Nov 25, 2020 |

Fruits of the sea posted:Huh, had to look it up and San Andreas (which is the first GTA to go balls out with the minigames IIRC) is from 2004 while Yakuza came out in 2005. I guess it's a coincidence. I personally think of it as aping Shenmue, which came out in 1999. I haven't played Shenmue II or III but it looks like based on reviews Yakuza is a better successor. I picked Kiwami up after putting it down for a year and I'm enjoying it much more. Initially I had started playing it right after 0 and it felt too much like a retread. Though I just finished the Ali Brothers substory and uh... some pretty strong anti-black undertones there.

Idk about Yakuza 2 but 0 and Kiwami are both pretty terrible about foreigners, and have quite transphobic side stories. Xenophobia is not as big of the plot in Kiwami as it was in 0, though.

Xarbala posted:There was a substory in the original 1 that was pretty notoriously bad about that, I heard Kiwami 1 changed it. If it's the one about the fast running trans woman, it's still pretty bad. Then there's also the fact that Kiryu doesn't beat up women-but beating up trans women is OK, because in the world of yakuza they're really men. Same thing in 0 with the trans real estate baron. Every time a trans woman or person in drag appears, it's always iterated that they're 'really a man' and people show disgust. It's hella transphobic. Edit: I'm not cis, fwiw. I personally rolled my eyes and moved on, but that's b/c I have low standards for Japanese entertainment of that era. I expect xenophobia/racism/transphobia and prepare myself for it. Edit 2: I also really enjoyed both games in spite of it, and am excited to get Kiwami 2 next time it's on sale. But they do not handle trans people well at all. One thing that was cool, however, was the lesbian hostess girl, I really enjoyed that plotline, and how you could have Kiryu himself say he could be open to dating men. It was a nice touch.

What happened to the dungeon crawler genre? I remember a few years ago there was a revival with Legend of Grimrock and Might & Magic X, both of which I really loved. I tried LoG 2 but I lost interest in it after awhile because of the lack of direction- I'm open to restarting it, but when I look at other games, they seem like they're for grognards who love the Wizardry series. I couldn't get into Labryinth of Refrain because I find the Disgaea-esque music and character design to be incredibly grating, and I hear Stranger of Sword City is super groggy.

Are any of these Pillars of Eternity-type games where they lean into adding QoL improvements that a filthy casual like me would find frustrating? For example, if I read the reviews for Stranger of Sword City, the top review mentions that to beat the game you need to follow a guide from level 1, otherwise you'll get insta-killed by bosses. You can also build a completely nonviable party and have to literally start the game over. AfricanBootyShine fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Mar 13, 2021 |

StrixNebulosa posted:Did any goons get Astria Ascending? It's on gamepass if you have that. I played it for about an hour. It's really pretty, and the combat system seemed decent, but it's missing a lot of QoL features. You can't skip individual lines of dialogue and there's no battle speed control (which imo is mandatory for any turn based jrpg). I'm hoping they'll address those in patches and I can get back to it then. A lot of characters with their tits out, and it seems like underwear is optional.

Bofast posted:Calling the protagonist "very horny" is quite the understatement, really. In-game it's even used as justification for his reaction times being noticably improved in one or two situations. If you've ever watched My Hero Academia, the protag is the personification of Mineta. The only women he doesn't view as sex objects are either over 40 or under 14.

RBA Starblade posted:So he views 14 and 15 year olds as sex objects? The youngest character Date creeps on is 18 (I forgot whether she was 17 or 18). TBF, the game does kinda avoid all that by not having any adolescent female characters except for his ward, who is 12. By the standard of japanese visual novels the horny/creepy score is a little worse than average. But if you're coming in from playing like... any other genre of game, Date is probably going to be the horniest/creepiest protagonist you've run into.

Any non-MMO games with lots of dress-up/costume options? There's a part of my brain that really likes RPGs and action games with lots of costume/gear options. Most MMOs I play I hit max level then immediately spend the rest of my time hunting down gear and costumes that I think look cool. There any single player games that scratch that itch? Needs good art direction - stuff like the Divinity series/Pathfinder etc don't hit it in the same way b/c tbh the armor/character design is... bland to terrible.

You're definitely on with Animal Crossing. The first part of my daily routine was hitting up the tailor to see what new outfits I could assemble. Thanks for all the suggestions y'all. I think Monster Hunter World/Rise will scratch that itch for sure. What I mean by art direction is... Anime or high fantasy? FFXIV, Code Vein, Dark Souls 3 all are good examples of games that I really enjoyed the dress-up with. I must live through my beautiful genderless bois

Sinteres posted:Edit: Also Black Panther was obviously highlighted for a while as the most important movie ever made despite being pretty mediocre. The rest of the MCU is junk food, but I'll defend Black Panther and Thor Ragnarok to death because they injected (semi) radical politics into blockbuster films, which is a rarity regardless of universe/genre. Like Thor Ragnarok is all about the horrors of colonialism, but most people miss it because big muscle men fighting.

Gorn Myson posted:Nah. I get why people would get fed-up of the ubiquity of the MCU, especially when it's fans throw around absurd ideas like Black Panther and Thor Ragnarok being even remotely politically radical. It's good for a blockbuster. Point out a movie with a 100m+ budget that even nears either one. Not a fan of the rest of the universe. But both movies hit pretty well with black and Indigenous activists and scholars and that's good enough for me over some (probably) yt poster.
