I'll check that out after I beat Black Mesa, now that Xen has finally been released. I just finished Blast Pit and am digging the facelift on Half Life. Have a preferred genre other than non-roguelike? Some things that are currently under $5 that were well received by goons: Life is Strange Season 1: ~15 hours to try and save your friend as a photography student who can rewind time Paper Please: ~5 hours to complete your job as an immigration/customs officer for Arstotzka Antichamber: ~8 hours to puzzle through an Escher acid trip SOMA: ~10 hours to complete this new adventure from the Amnesia crew Hotline Miami 2: ~10 hours of rootin', tootin', and shootin' (I never did play the second one but it seems to be more of the first, which is also on sale if you've never played it) The Shadowrun (isometric cyberpunk RPG) or Banner Saga (tile battle RPG with choices that drive narrative) games should also fit your requirements.

Mordja posted:I've got a 1070 and it can still run most games near-max at 1080p 60, with exceptions. Notably RDR2, though part of that might be my i5 processor. It's getting due for an upgrade/rebuild but I'm kinda waiting for the cards and CPUs that come out after the next wave of consoles. My main issue now is my ancient i5 3570K. Thinking about the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, but that also means new motherboard and RAM. I can never justify the latest and greatest for components, because that is just an insane amount of money. $200 for a GTX 1080 is a good bargain that should last quite awhile.

I'm gunna need to start bringing my new bluetooth controller with me and just game on my lunch break. Some Steam games don’t require the client to launch, so you could throw the game folder on a flash drive and go to town.

The story and characters really didn’t click with me but the gameplay more than made up for it in my opinion. I did like BL2, but I used CheatEngine to kick up the run speed and drop tables, because holy moly. If those are improved in BL3 then I am all over it.

Zathril posted:Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark is on sale at the moment, is it decent? I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's the closest thing to Final Fantasy Tactics I've seen in awhile. There are interesting classes and you can mix and match secondary, reactionary, etc. skills. Some of the extra options can add a lot of difficulty to the game if that's your thing. You can also edit an INI file (the game files provide instructions) to make things as easy/hard as you want. I personally kicked up the job point earn rates a bit. The story is standard fare, so if you are looking for something deep in your tile battler I would suggest something else.

I have not been able to put Borderlands 3 down. This series makes great bad guys. On an insane side note, does anyone else get a tingle in your dingle when jumping down from high places in this game? I don't know if it's Zane's yell or leg flailing, but I feel it in my bones for a split second. I've had it happen to me in games before but this one gets me more than others. I'm not afraid of heights - it's the same feeling I get going down an intense rollercoaster, climbing the Sydney Harbor bridge, ziplining, etc. but on a much smaller scale.

How did Red Dead Redemption 2 turn out on PC? It's on sale for another 4 hours. I am blasting through Borderlands 3 and may need something else to play soon. My wishlist is full of games that don't release until summer for the most part, so it's either that or Doom Eternal I think.

Ugly In The Morning posted:I got it on PS4 when it came out and I was so dissapointed. The controls suck, the missions are boring, and a lot of the “realism” bits are completely immersion breaking. It’s not immersive when I keep having to think about convoluted systems or check button prompts to make sure I don’t draw down on someone instead of talking to them. And the bounty system is a complete mess- I had someone report me for murder... because I killed their kidnappers. Which cost me all the money I had built up. It’s a Brink-level letdown for me. Ok that sounds pretty bad. I also found a review from last month where there are hacking concerns. Trolls teleporting others, spawning cougars/bears on people, etc. Though I would hope the online component is separate from the single player campaign.

And, unfortunately, the first two hours of the game (or more) are more or less a tutorial so a 2 hour refund window might not be enough to properly judge. For some reason I recall that you enjoyed Thi4f so I think its safe to say that you would enjoy Red Dead Redemption 2. Hah, I can't believe that stuck with people. I am indeed the guy that didn't think Thief was that bad. I am passing on RDR2 for now until I get a better CPU.

StrixNebulosa posted:I'm having fun but I would really appreciate it if covid would stop so I could have my brain back. Being lowkey panicked all the time isn't healthy and I don't enjoy it. I have been in a game slump lately as well. Some of that is likely due to the quarantine. I can’t seem to get interested in or excited about playing anything at the moment. Rather than find something new, I decided to go back and play some classics. Today I started a ROM hack of Final Fantasy 6 called Brave New World. The new mechanics really spice things up. It also seems slightly more difficult without being punishing. I don’t know how much nostalgia is talking here, but FF6 still stands the test of time. I’d recommend checking out some of your favorite games from the SNES/PSX (hell may as well include PS2) era - most don’t require a lot of brain power or fast reflexes.

Cardiovorax posted:Speaking of builders, Terraria is definitely an option and one of the best games that it is possible to buy for only ten dollars. I have put hundreds of hours into that game, there is so much to do. For anyone that played Terraria at launch and put it down, give it another shot. The dev put an insane amount of content in for free since then, and continues to do so. It’s a whole new game. The latest update is slated to release this year. This is supposedly the final update, 9 years after launch, and it’s a big one.

Cardiovorax posted:This really isn't an overstatement, by the way. The game has literally triple the content from when it started, all added in free updates and patches. It's the best ten dollars I ever spent on a game, in terms of pure value for the money. I’ve honestly never seen a dev so dedicated to his game. Terraria is often in the top 25 for number of concurrent players on Steam, so that may have something to do with it. Speaking of Terraria, does anyone know if it’s possible to reset achievements? I know the SAM tool can untick them, but does that allow them to be achieved again through normal play? I’d like to start from scratch if possible. Achievements often help me discover things I wouldn’t find on my own, so a reset would be nice.

A guy was trying to walk over it when a bystander lightly pushed his shoulder. I’ve never heard a grown man scream so loud. Your brain does incredible things to account for what you are seeing, smelling, hearing, and feeling. If you trick a few of those senses, it will fill in the rest to complete your reality.

If you are like me and have an interest in playing Black Mesa now that it's complete, check your Humble Bundle account. My most recent purchase on that site was the April 2017 Humble Monthly for The Witness. I just noticed that Black Mesa was apparently included. I unfortunately gave away everything but The Witness, but you may have better luck.

Volte posted:I got most of the way through The Witness and then stopped because I got stuck on the few remaining puzzles, and with nothing else left to do and the charm of wandering around the same areas over and over wearing thin, I ended up just fizzling out and never finishing it. For a really well done open-world puzzle game (though not the same type of puzzles as the Witness as it's more adventure game style) check out Supraland. It's a silly Metroidvania that managed to engage me enough that it became the only game on Steam that I actually got all the achievements for. It's by the guy that made the Notpron flash puzzle game from back in the day if anyone remembers that. Speaking of exploratory puzzle games, I have to recommend Antichamber. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGsnm2nOnso

Is Wolfenstein Youngblood broken as hell for anyone else? I gave it a shot on Xbox Gamepass and my character constantly continues to walk/run after I stop pressing a key. Sometimes it sends me completely across the room while ignoring any other key presses. It's literally unplayable.

It’s apparently not an issue for anyone else, so I’ll have to try again tomorrow.

It must have been caching my inputs and making my character continue in random directions. I grabbed a Ryzen 7 3700X and a new motherboard over the weekend and the problem is gone. The 3570K had been great for everything else, even newer games than Youngblood, so that was surprising. That processor was a great value over 8 years, so I can't complain. RIP to a real one.

Ugly In The Morning posted:It's not great. If you have an Nvidia RTX card it's worth grabbing for cheap to dick around with the ray tracing and DLSS features, but a lot of the enemies are bullet spongy unless you're always using the right gun for them and the level design is not great. You can actually navigate them, it's not New Colussus bad, but it's certainly not good. Sounds about right. It’s fine. The levels are big and sprawling with some vertical options, but you only have a mini-map. There is no full map view which is baffling. There are only a few levels that you revisit and open up new paths in through various missions. I would give it a pass.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark is 66% off in the weekly sale for $10. I know there are some here that were keeping an eye out for it to drop in price. Definitely worth a look if you like tile based tactics games. It was heavily inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics. The writing is nothing special, but the gameplay and class/skill mixing is fun.
