So this is pretty audacious - http://store.steampowered.com/app/348180/ Starship Traveller quote:Sucked through the appalling nightmare of the Seltsian Void, the starship Traveller emerges at the other side of the black hole into an unknown universe. YOU are the captain of the Traveller, and her fate lies in your hands. Will you be able to discover the way back to Earth from the alien peoples and planets you encounter, or will you and your crew be doomed to roam uncharted space forever? Here's hoping that they have a crack at Deathtrap Dungeon.

Alien Isolation is on GMG at 66% off. Down to $13.59 with code 20OFFM-ATTHEW-HATTON (Or $13.08 with 23ISTH-ANYDEA-LEQW5E though that voucher didn't seem to work for me.) Looks like the cheapest it's been if enhanced steam is to be believed.

So Cities: Skylines is an actual city builder a la Sim City? I feel like they should've named it differently, I honestly thought it was part of the Cities XL franchise. And speaking of games coming out this year I noticed SPAZ 2 when I got curious about the coming soon list. The first SPAZ was an enjoyable enough spaceship game, albeit a bit rough around the edges, but the 2nd one looks like they polished their ideas up a lot. Also I'm a sucker for giant gently caress off space battles.

Wow, that is terrible marketing/branding since I thought it was part of the Cities series, and immediately wrote it off as trash. Hell, they probably could have named it Skylines and it would have been a better name.

The Call of Juarez one was really good, too. Metro Last Light and the other Metro game are also pretty great. Blood dragon was alright, I guess - I kinda got bored with it two hours in. Deus Ex: HR is fantastic, but might not be as 'shooty' as you want. It's not an FPS, but Splinter Cell: Blacklist is a fantastic shooty game. Even better if you go stealthy-shooty.

Logan 5 posted:So Cities: Skylines is an actual city builder a la Sim City? I feel like they should've named it differently, I honestly thought it was part of the Cities XL franchise. Caught me off guard too. Played it last night, waaay past my bedtime, and it's a solid city builder. The introduction system actually leads you nicely into a staged setup about the different moving parts, but it'll be immediately familiar to fans of simcity. Differences to watch out for: Powerplants are initially not very effective, so a town of 5000 needs something like four coal-fired plants, which feels excessive. You can set up districts which allow you to change the business emphasis of an industrial district, eg farming vs oil-based. These depend on 'natural resources', which are scattered over the wider landscape. Space your poo poo out. My battery-farming style has filled a quarter of the space of the first area, and the additional areas are unlocking for a pittance. Yeah, huge continuous landscapes are possible. Another gotcha: Water and sewage will happily flow down the same pipe (it becomes a double pipe). They're still using the demand indicators, which is gravy. I've just started to unlock the transportation stuff, and the first is buses. You create the routes that the buses take using a system of stops to create loops. Edit: The grey poo poo around the industries is pollution, and it actually kills any trees over time that sit in it. Hav fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Mar 12, 2015 |

Huh. Went back and the second code is working for me now. Not sure what i did wrong previously. Used some store credit from old playfire shenanigans that outweighed the discount anyway, so it's all fine with me. Not that I'll be playing it for a while anyway, but can someone that has played it (Palpek?) weigh in on the DLC? Anything worth grabbing when it's on sale? Edit - looks like a load of BS multiplayer maps or something. Tony Phillips fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Mar 12, 2015 |

The Isolation DLC is all single-player "challenge missions" with a leaderboard and scoring structure and which reuse the maps from the main game while giving you different objectives. Whether you want it or not will depend on whether or not you feel like you got enough game from Isolation proper, since it's just a lot more of the same. Considering Isolation is already reasonably long (20 hours, although it's well-paced) and can be pretty exhausting to play, I've never felt the need to play more of it. If you do want more of the same, just grab the season pass.

The only DLCs I can recommend are Crew Expandable and Last Survivor as they're reenectments of a few scenes from the first movie, they have voice acting and are pretty cool overall. They're short though. None of the DLC are really necessary and the aformentioned good ones should be played after beating the main game anyway as they spoil the weapons and Alien behavior.

Seconding that. TNO has a bunch of collectibles to rummage around for, encouraging replay, and the plot/world is surprisingly engaging.

Thanks for all the shooter recommendations goons. My wishlist is much expanded now, only debating if Wolfenstien is worth buying at full price... it does look to be pretty much exactly what I'm looking for - I guess that's why God gave me a credit card.
