I know this is just brands interacting. But what if.... it's Crimson Skies?

For anybody picking up Rebel Galaxy Outlaw: LOWER YOUR PC's/SPEAKERS VOLUME WHEN STARTING THE GAME. It has to be one of the loudest loving games I've had the displeasure of launching; once I could get into the menu I had to drop all volume sliders to something stupidly low like 10% for it to stop trying to blow out my speakers (and eardrums).

Fun game, but gently caress that default volume.

How does the combat feel? I was looking for a decent Diablo-ish game to play on the deck and it looks like it has controller input. Reviews are pretty negative but maybe that's the offline vs online thing.

Wolcen seems fine and possibly even good after the updates, it's cool to see that they continued supporting it in spite of the lukewarm reception at launch. That said, I'm so glad Last Epoch exists because it's better in just about every way and it means I don't have to play Wolcen to get my ARPG fix from a game that didn't come from Blizzard.

Looks like more Remnant 1, which means I'll probably pick it up. Hopefully there won't be a boss you have to fight on a bridge this time.

If y'all want to play a good anime FPS go play SHOGO Mobile Armor Division.

It's by Monolith, the Blood/No One Lives Forever/FEAR/Shadow of Mordor guys.

And it has totally normal gore!

I'd played a bit of Remnant after getting it for free on EGS a while ago. I bought it on steam today. I basically paid 24 dollars to not have to open the epic launcher. To my surprise, the steam version automatically recognized and used the save from the epic version. That was an unexpected bonus. I wasn't very far into the game and it's been so long I might want to start over anyway, but still pretty cool.

I loved the first Remnant and they released some footage of the second one recently and have been thinking about maybe what I want isn’t in fact exactly more of the first game. I think I’d be feeling that less if the area they showed wasn’t just the exact area from the first game with UE5 shininess but it’s odd to think about. Guess I do want at least a little iteration there.

Alpha Protocol is the one and only game that actually delivers on the choices matter schtick, the end slides stuff of some CRPGs doesn’t really count in the same way, so I don’t even really consider it a BioWare-like. Fair though.

Things from established Open World Design that Elden Ring could have learned from and used to their benefit:





Can't believe people uncritically praised the game and called it GOTY when it was missing such core design pillars...

And now people are doing the same with Baldur's Gate III?! Slap in the face to decades of AAA luminaries.

Jack Trades posted:

It has really neat combat system with some similar ideas to Diablo 3. It's one of the extremely few diablo-likes that actually has abilities interact with each other, and isn't just about number stacking.
I found messing around with builds a lot of fun in Last Epoch.

Unfortunately multiplayer in that game is still a complete loving mess, and it takes 30 to 60 seconds to change the map if you're trying to play coop.
Offline works perfectly fine though.

Figured it out! The app forgot that it already has my phone number, maybe because I haven't logged in for a while. I tapped "I no longer have access" and it just sent a confirmation to the phone number like usual.

Divinity Original Sin 2: I'm gonna get some flak for saying this, but...I think I might refund. No, I'm not saying its a bad game, certainly not: it seems incredibly impressive and I was enjoying the story interactions and so on. But it just seems like such a huge, slow and overwhelming game: so many choices for builds that I don't know whether I'm screwing myself over by not optimizing my party for magical or physical, so many items and clutter in the environment that I don't know what I should keep and what is worthless, combat is such a chore waiting for everything to take their bloody turn and so many fights just being all the same, and so many quests and choices and what should I do for the best experience reward and blah blah blah. I think I'm just slowly accepting that I'm a big casual baby who prefers a more lite RPG experience like we saw in previous games mentioned, and I don't have time for these big 100-hour-plus ones. Doesn't help either that I already have Baldur's Gate 3 (though I'll admit that I do enjoy the removal of DnD concepts here like limited spell slots and low accuracy, so if I actually had an option, I'd probably trade them for one another, but that window has passed).

After an amazing initial impression, Jagged Alliance 3 drops the ball so hard with one of the most massive difficulty spikes I've ever seen in an XCom-like. It went from an easy 10 and GOTY to something I don't think I'll ever replay. You go from fighting numerous but poorly-equipped mooks to excelently-equipped enemies with skills and equipment like yours, but who are still just as numerous as before. Most of the new enemies get to shoot as soon as the battle starts, their snipers can crit-kill your less resilients mercenaries from behind cover, at night, from off-screen, and even if you take full cover half their squads are equipped with AoE stun grenade launchers who reduce your action points and force you to wait a bit on the campaign layer before continuing on your way.

It all starts with an ambush battle where your team is betrayed and left in a wide open position surrounded by these enemies unless you reload after the betrayal and open fire first before talking to the NPC that triggers the ambush. Cheesing the fight is the only way to have your team in any sort of advantageous position. The story fight before the ambush is a siege against 30 or so of the previously mentioned badly-equipped troops so it's very likely you're low on supplies. And the main port away from that area of the map is where the ambush happens so unless you manually maneuver around it, the autopathing will dump you straight into the ambush.

But the bullshit doesn't stop on the strategic layer either, because at this point you might hold over half the map, you may have trained militia to defend it from enemy attacks and items you purchased have to arrive from off-map and into a port so you might even have supplies in one or two places. Plus, you also have your diamond mines, which have been providing a steady income supply which you need to keep your mercs hired (they will leave if you can't pay them). As soon as you win the ambush fight, a dozen squads of these enemies spawn and start taking the entirety of the map, effortlessly dealing with the militia you trained and barely suffering any casualties in the process (8 militia will at most kill 1 or 2 guys out of a squad of 8-10). Training militia costs you time and money which you won't have a lot of at the beginning, so it makes that whole side of the tactical layer a trap choice unless you know what's going to happen. These squads will capture every single mine, city and outpost you may have had, essentially cutting you off from supplies and money unless you retake them, which is an ordeal unless you know this is all going to happen and made a safety net in advance and left another squad of well-armed mercs to defend it.

I have 25 hours into the game and easily fought over 50, and the last 5 hours are just from endlessly reloading these 2 fights to avoid getting half my team crippled beyond recovery. It's like someone looked at the Riovannes Castle fight in Final Fantasy Tactics and went 'nah, I can do better'.

Is there a thread for Enshrouded? I can't seem to find it


How do I know which Flame Shrines I've looted already? Or do they respawn and generate more Sparks?
And what's the difference between a Flame Shrine and Flame Sanctum? Because they have the same icon on the map

FuzzySlippers posted:

I actually think Enshrouded looks more interesting. It seems like it is iterating on some of the better parts of Valheim and I'd like something similar to that game based more on exploring than Ark style monster raising/training/etc. I haven't heard if it's in a good state already or this is an early rough launch.

Of course, there's also Warframe, which is literally an AABC game.

My memory of that game is from an old CGW (GFW) podcast where Jeff Green bashes it and keeps interrupting someone trying to defend it then yells "The game sucked!" It's amazing.
