What can goons tell me about Starpoint Gemini 2? [gasp early access] it seems pretty cool.. One of the reviews said it's like EVE offline which would seem pretty good. The promoted reviews are positive, but it's hard to always say if it' sgood or bad. not many goons on my list have played but 4 own..

Watch_Dogs suffers the same problem as Assassin's Creed: I'm too bloody busy absorbing all of the city's history via Wikipedia to play the game properly. I didn't realise Chicago was so fascinating.

Hellburger99 posted:ME3 multiplayer is still good and is still worth the $15 you'd have to pay to play it for a month on Xbox Live or whatever. Origin might not be as good as Steam, but it's a lot better than it was a year ago this time. The community still seems super active, too. I've been playing for the past week or so and I've never had trouble finding a full party. I actually had ME3 for 360 and kept thinking I should get it for PC just for multiplayer but had no idea how active the playerbase was. Legitimate thanks for this.

Place names have been changed (The location that is obviously Buckingham Fountain is not called Buckingham Fountain, stuff like that), locations have been made up, things like that. None of the many museums or sports arenas are included (there's one fictional arena that's supposed to stand in for like 4 different locations), and Navy Pier is n't anywhere close. Now I know how people in Seattle felt when Second Son came out.

I've spent more time running around looking up place names, and then finding their real world equivalents online, than actually playing the game.

It's weird playing it with K+M instead of a controller, but you get used to it pretty fast. Or you can use Joy2Key if you have the patients to figure that poo poo out. And add me on Origin: HellburgerSA.

Nope, none of the Mass Effect games have any controller support on PC. Which is stupid as hell. Every time I get all pumped up to play through the series in glorious High Def, I stop myself when I realize that I can't do it just chilling out on my couch with a controller the way Shepard intended, even though Bioware very obviously has the data needed to put it in.

No, and there are some bizarre, rambling interviews with the devs explaining why (pretty much, they didn't want to). Honestly, though, it's not bad with K+M and you can rebind buttons in game.

I feel like a drooling idiot for asking this, but I'm at Galbalan in Oath in Felghana, and how are you meant to dodge the fireball spam in his first form? No matter what I try, running, normal jumping, double jumping, I always, always get clipped by the third-to-last one. I know I'm gonna need to take as little damage as possible for the later parts already, and this is also really frustrating me, which doesn't help.

Hellburger99 posted:I thought ME2 had controller support for PC? Nope. None of them. Closest we've got is some guy figuring out how to copy the .ini from the 360 version over to the PC, but then you're not able to use powers or menus. Which, again, means that all Bioware had to do was copy over the .ini and maybe port the menus over, but like you said, they just didn't want to do that.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:I don't know, it looks pretty good. It is pretty good. It looks like Sonic, but plays more like a mash-up of every great platformer on the Genesis, including Gunstar Heroes and Ristar. Nice big levels, multiple characters with their own special routes/gimmicks through them, and in the early preview build I played, a couple of quite creative boss fights. It's definitely more combat-focused than Sonic, depending on character played.

What is the best game on Steam that is like Final Fantasy Tactics? I just played XCOM - thanks for the recommendation, by the way - but I'm in the mood for something more RPG-esque, something I can relax with after work and not worry about clicking things quickly.

But that's exactly how it is. I even knew beforehand it's going to be terrible but I felt like I wanted to watch it all just so I can reprimand everyone extremely harshly not to even start or end with the fourth or fifth season.

Sounds like you need to play some Fallout Tactics. Divinity OS might be a little more complicated, but it's certainly a great game. Also, Frozen Synapse is the best Chess substitute ever in the form of strategic cyberpunk SWAT destruction. It's fuckin' radical. Also, check out Silent Storm 2.  Don't waste your time with Shadowrun's lovely combat design until you've got no other games to turn to. Also, and I'm still being absolutely serious here, but Sunrider, yes, it's anime, is actually really nicely done. It's got some pretty drat solid boardgame-esque type of combat. I don't know, but it's free and surprisingly well done and fun. Drifter fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Jul 21, 2014 |

I think it's just Bioware. Most EA games have controller support on PC, unless they flat-out don't have a console version.

Welp the final boss in Betrayer is loving terrible but that was still a pretty neat game. No reason to ever play it again though and enabling "Dark Souls lose your equipment if you can't corpse run" mode sounds like a good way to really hate that game.

I'll second the recommendation for Shadowrun Returns. The base campaign is a little too linear for some people, but I found it to be a pretty nice introduction to the setting. I'm currently running through the expansion and while I still like the base game, the expansion does improve upon it in virtually every way. They were on sale on the Humble Store recently, and they go on sale fairly often now.

Finally fired up Magic 2015 and played through the tutorial. The UI seems just fine, not sure what the complaints are. Unless people mean the menus outside of a game? Those have always been scrolling, which is a little annoying to be fair. The UI seems functional enough to me - you don't need a ton of information on screen during a Magic game.

How loving expensive could it possibly be. There's no way Unreal doesn't support it in the back-end and all the front-end poo poo was already developed for the console version.

It doesn't work in menus of any kind, but the dude parts of the game work fine. This holds true for all three ME games on PC.
