I love having stealth games hang out with the rest of my backlog. I just pulled the trigger on Alpha Protocol, Chaos Theory, Blacklist, and Styx. Alpha Protocol is one of those must play games, right? I think I'll Are there any other games I shouldn't pass up in the sale? I've already got Mark of the Ninja, Gunpoint, Monaco and Deus Ex: HR.

So, I've poked around Deus Ex Revision a bit, and it's an impressive piece of work so far. For those worried that they'd break the story or replace the hilari-bad voice acting, those are just about the only things they've left untouched. It's everything else that got overhauled. First, you need the base game to be installed or Revision just won't start up, so keep that in mind. Second, the biggest decision you're going to make is in the Game Options menu. You can switch between Default playmode (based on Human Renovation - mostly bugfixes and some AI improvements), Shifter (rebalance, unique weapons, etc) and Biomod (all of the above + new cybernetics system). Also, play on Normal. Or maybe even on Easy. There's more enemies right off the bat, and some of them are decently equipped. The levels are all new. The basic shape and layout is the same, as are the objectives, but almost all the fine details are new and more... err.. detail'y. Liberty Island in particular has nice warmly lit paths and dark side areas, and plenty of new little nooks and crannies to explore. Things are built to look a little more like real spaces, so the UNATCO soldier that sells you gear isn't just casually standing in the open, but in at a small security side-building with various storage units and supply bins. It feels like a remake, basically.

If they do, everyone who even pretends to enjoy stealth games needs to buy the GotY of Dishonored. Play through the game, and then play the dlc, which is arguably even better than the base game. It's really great. edit: pistol4lyfe in Alpha Protocol

Some quick hits on some Capcom bundle games: Strider is pretty cool and the fast-paced action and weapons "feel" good. It's not as much a metroidvania as you may think, as the world isn't laid out in a way to make it particularly easy to get from point a to b quickly. You'll probably end up driving yourself a bit crazy if you want grab all the stuff, so I'd recommend just playing it in a normal fashion and then maybe make a circuit of the map near the end if collecting everything is a thing you like to do in games. There are some annoying aspects in the game like these radio messages that play over and over in some stages until you do something. They take up a ton of screen real-estate and are really annoying and I can't believe they got past any type of playtesting. The visuals in the game are quite boring too, like most games that use a lot 2.5d stuff. It's about 6-8 hours long and doesn't overstay its welcome. RE Revelations 1 is an entirely bleh third-person action game. Not terrible, not good - the type of game you play once, uninstall and never think about again until you hear someone talk about it. Some people really like the raid mode you unlock as you play through the game but I couldn't get into it since I like score attack-esque stuff to be short and sweet and this isn't. Revelations 2 is fun and probably the most I enjoyed a RE game since 4. The main story mode isn't anything special, but the characters are all pretty likable and there aren't too many lovely parts. It's a bit too "hey, remember that RE thing" at times when trying to be funny but the character interaction is a million times better than the last few RE games. I liked the raid mode in this one and play a good bit of it. It's basically kill x amount of enemies in a RE6 stage. There's not a ton of variation to it but I enjoyed killing stuff until I hit the level max with a character and did most of the stages. Also the AI in RE5 really isn't as bad as most people make it out to be. I played through it once single-player and just gave Sheva a high-power, low-firing rate sniper rifle and never had to worry about her doing anything too stupid since she'll just pefectly shoot stuff from miles away and not waste much ammo.

Rufio posted:Alpha Protocol is one of those must play games, right? I think I'll The shooting is rear end at the start of the game until you put some points into your weapon of choice. Your cross-hair will be huge, and you'll miss what should be head shots. This all goes away with a few points, though. I love this game, and the shooting is usually what turns a lot of people off at the beginning of the game. It's also why a lot of people recommend the Chain Shot skill for the pistol. On top of being able to lock onto and execute three targets Sam Fisher style, it also doesn't miss. It goes a long way to mitigating the RPGness of early-game shooting. But if pistol isn't your thing, a few points in any weapon will make it feel like you would expect shooting to be in a TPS. Hell, you can even go punchyfist if that's what you want to do, skills and all. Also, don't be afraid to do what you feel, in terms of dialogue interaction and in-game action. Everything you do has consequences, even small poo poo. So make decisions based on what you feel you should do, because the game accounts for all of it, and you get perks all throughout the game for each of your actions. New game tips: There are 5 starting classes in the game. Three of the builds (Combat heavy, gadget heavy, and stealth heavy) have some skill points thrown in for you. This is essentially "normal mode." There's a Rookie class: This class starts with no points. This is definitely harder than the first three due to lack of skills, but still doable. Choosing this class will also allow special "Rookie" dialog options. And, if you beat the game as Rookie you unlock... The Expert class: This class starts with a whole bunch of points. This is basically the "gently caress you, I'm the best. You might as well lay down and give up, you're already dead" class.

As someone who has never played any of the Resident Evil games and who is more interested in them as possible horror games rather than action/zombie games would it be worth it to pick up the Humble Bundle and use the coupon to get Revelations 1 and 2 for around $25 (with the half-off Revelations 2 discount from the bundle) or can I happily skip these as a horror fan and not be missing out on much. Also does anyone know if the Outlast DLC is worth even the $2 it's going for right now?

Both Revelations games are an odd mix of survival horror and action. There are points where the game is slower with a focus on exploring your environment, and there are other instances where you're fighting off a lot of enemies for various reasons. All in all, Rev1 was great to have RE start heading back towards it's roots as a survival horror game. Rev2 improves on 1 in a lot of ways. Plus, Rev2 has Barry, the best loving character in any game. Honestly, I would recommend dropping a buck and getting the first chapter of Rev2 from Humble Bundle and seeing if you like it. It will only take you a couple of hours to complete. If you enjoyed it, I'd say go ahead and pick up both Rev1 and 2. If you didn't like it, then you're only in for a buck. Also, Rev2 has the best version of Raid Mode -- a wave based, kill all enemies to progress side game with RPG elements. Velocity Raptor fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Oct 14, 2015 |

If anyones curious about seeing Deus Ex: Revision in motion, I'll be broadcasting via Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/solidsnakesbandana/ Doin non-lethal, no guns. I quicksave and quickload a lot because I like to experiment, so be prepared for that. Two things I noticed right off the bat: 1) Where the gently caress is the Baton at the start?? I live by that thing. 2) Enemies can totally see your flashlight, which I dunno I guess is lame? In universe they aren't supposed to be able to see it, but I'm not sure if that was just an excuse or not. edit: lol, I went to the Steam forums out of curiosity and someone asked the exact same question about the baton.

Neither are particularly horror themed, but if you're even slightly interested, you might as well take the one buck plunge on Rev2 Ep1 since it won't take you more than a handful of hours to play through and this humble bundle will last for two more weeks. As far as RE on steam goes, you'd probably be best off with REHD, which is a really good remake of the original and has a much higher focus on item management/atmosphere than the rest of the franchise.

I think the one on the bench to the left just as you enter the park? Also, gotta love that the NSF's frontline sentry is chilling just outside the range of the sentry bots with a mug of coffee. I'm playing on Biomod mode, so enemy loot is a bit more random (and generous).

It's just a very accurate throwback to a style of design that was from the 80's, back when design was limited to a lack of CPU, money, and iteration. There's a lot of obfuscation of systems that can be very confusing. But I thought the game, the part I played, was more interesting than Pillars of Eternity, which follows a different design. I felt the characters were written as people, not as articles from a book.
