Mr. Fortitude posted:You won't get Adventure Mode, which is what everyone online is playing these days as the story mode sucks rear end and you've got much better loot opportunities from Rifts in Adventure Mode. Don't you need the expansion for level 70? I can't remember. But if so, the higher level cap with the extra passive slot opens up a bunch of build opportunities.

The Machinima Man posted:There's a lot of talk about Diablo and how it's the king of ARPG. I have both Torchlights, along with D3 and its expansion. Ideally, I feel like the best ARPG is one that has tons of content, whereas Diablo's adventure mode is basically "here is you returning to parts of the game you've already seen, maybe with a couple monsters that are variably different than the last time." I've been dabbling in Sacred 2 Gold and it seems to have an absolutely massive amount of content. Like dozens of side quests show up and you're doing them all and after hours and hours of it you're still only level 15 (I think the level cap is like 200). Unfortunately the actual gameplay seems to be ridiculously boring compared to D3, something that seems to be true of basically all other ARPGs.

Mr. Flunchy posted:How many hours have you put into it according to Steam? I bet it's somewhere around 100. Probably more right? I played through the whole mage quest line and dicked around for a few hours other than that, and that was plenty. The combat is just as mind-numbing and easily broken as all of their other games, and obviously you're crazy if you're playing those games for the writing, so basically it turns into a gussied up environment explorer.

NeoSeeker posted:Question: Is metro 2033 any good? I heard it was quite poo poo and seem to recall many people saying to just skip it and head for Last Light. I've been downloading basically every atmospheric game on my steam list, I've just started a new playthrough of Half-Life 1. So essentially I'm asking If 2033 is worth it because having 2 metro games is better than just 1 metro game. I've tried to play 2033 like 4 times and every time I only make it a little ways past the first time you go outside. Like an hour into the game at the most. I can tell that it's a good game, but it just fails to draw me in every single time.

Anonymous Robot posted:Everything I hear about Valdis Story makes it sound really amateurish, which is really sad, because it has a lot of elements of games I love that don't really get made much anymore. Here's hoping that Igarashi's studio gets off the ground quickly and announces a title for PC. It's pretty fun, I didn't find any part of it that frustrating, although I completely understand where people are coming from with their complaints. My only real complaint about it was how short it was. I thought it was much better than Guacamelee which seems to get almost universal praise. I also thought it was a lot more fun and not as hard as Pid, although that's not quite the same type of game.

Quest For Glory II posted:Finished Dishonored, it was pretty good. I haven't done the Knife of Dunwall or Brigmore Witches yet, those'll be next. That's the 25th game I've beaten since the summer sale, and I've got 3 left to play from that sale. Although one of them is Walking Dead S2 so I'll probably wait until September or whenever the season finale comes out. The cool thing about Dishonored is that if you want, you can do the high chaos playthrough in about 3 hours. It's pretty satisfying after doing a no kills stealth run. There are so many fun toys to kill groups of guys with, it's awesome.

MooCowlian posted:Dishonoured is the pick of that lot, as long as you're okay with stealth rather than all out action. I thought it was really fun. The sword fighting is obviously only intended to be used early in the game. I would wind blast a guy off a cliff, stop time and drop a razor trap into the middle of a pack, run to the next guy and backstab him, then if my stop time ran out and there were still guys around just blast them in the face or throw some explosives at them.

Orv posted:It's extremely rough in UI, combat and general control fidelity and you know it. Alright, not unplayable, but enough that a ton of people have bounced off it because of how it plays. It's a really good game despite that. I played through it for the first time 2-3 years ago and it was fine. Installed one or two quality of life mods and had a good time with it. It's not like trying to play System Shock 2 or something like that where the moment it boots up you're just like, "what the gently caress?!"

GreatGreen posted:Borderlands 2 is the fastest I've ever seen a game go from being really great to totally unfun bullshit so fast. At first the pacing is fast and the environments are really varied, expansive, and pretty. Then the enemies go from being fun to fight against to every single one being literally the worst bullet sponge ever put into a video game, each taking without exaggeration at least 2 full clips (or 1 and a half clips of straight headshots) of whatever gun you happen to be shooting to go down while displaying absolutely zero hit reaction animations. And by the way these same enemies can quickly two or three shot you so welcome to cover shooter hell. You forgot to mention how ridiculously far apart everything is. Even in vehicles it takes 10 minutes to get anywhere, and god forbid you have a mission that forces you on foot so you get to progress at the unbelievably plodding run speed. That game is a million times better if you just remove the lowest 3-4 tiers of loot quality, increase your run speed by 4x and your jump height by 2x.

Neddy Seagoon posted:If you're gonna drop money on a controller for PC gaming, just drop $30 on a wired Xbox 360 controller and never worry again about compatibility. Eh, I have both and definitely prefer the DS4. For only $10 extra, I would definitely go with that. It's much more versatile (for example, I can use the Bluetooth to wirelessly play emulated SNES games on my tablet) and IMO a better overall controller. To answer the original question, it's not as mindless plug-n-play as a wired 360 controller, but the driver/interface programs that have been made for it make it pretty easy. Sometimes I have to relaunch a game or the DS4 program or both to get everything working right, but most of the time it works with no fuss.

A Fancy 400 lbs posted:Does the DS4 update the form factor at all? I have big hands and can't stand the older DS controllers. For example, my hands were big enough to find the original XBox Large controllers comfortable to hold, even if I prefer the revamped layout. It does have a much better form factor than the DS3 and previous versions (all of which I loathed), although I did have to adjust the way I positioned it in my hands compared to the 360 controller. I don't have big hands though.

CharlestheHammer posted:That is still unnecessarily vague. its not handholding to just say here is the dodge move you should probably buy it. Also even after you buy it there's absolutely no explanation of how it works or how you even use it. DW it's going to respond by saying "well it's in the move list" but I had no idea the game even included a move list until this thread talked about it. That said, the dodge move is in no way necessary to beat the game on normal.

It's funny because these complaints are exactly the same as the ones about the previous Borderlands games except now apparently they've gotten so bad that they're even losing the true believers. E: for reference I played the poo poo out of the original but gave up on 2 after around 20 frustrating hours

Mr E posted:Not that I care that you don't like BL2, but holy poo poo stop playing a game before 20 hours if it's that frustrating. If it gets better past that point it's still not worth spending 20 hours to get there. 20 hours in a loot-based ARPG is nothing, especially when I had the experience with the previous game influencing my patience. That amount of time is basically, "maybe I just need to level up a bit more/maybe I just need a different gear spec/maybe I just need to try a different class".

Niggurath posted:There was a stream posted on the previous page that makes the game look dull as dishwater. Granted the guy playing could have just sucked at it, but it appeared to be very lovely environments and particle effects but combat with no real depth and what seemed to be incredibly dull enemy design. At most it might be Dark Souls in an aesthetic sense but the game play itself seemed very simple and dull. Even if it is just good graphics with easy Souls-esque combat, that could be pretty fun. Like Darksiders for example did absolutely nothing novel or even particularly well, but was still decent and a success.

Rashomon posted:Replaying Risk of Rain after this recent update, and this game is still awesome and hugely impressive for basically being made by two guys. The music is great, too. I really hope they do a Risk of Rain 2 with more levels, more items, and a somewhat more balanced progression of gameplay. (I feel like choosing your items should be the default, and unlocking new items for choice to be part of the progression, and the Artifact that is currently Command should do the opposite, randomizing items but opening up the whole pool to you). Also, without the 5x damage artifact the gameplay is a bit too slow. Other than that, this game rules. I played three rounds last night (for the first time ever) and the game is intense in the best possible way. I only made it past the first teleporter once but it was really fun.
