I normally hate collectathons but I've put in 15 hours so far and I haven't even cleared most of the Geothermal Valley yet. The tombs are all fun to explore, the platforming and combat elements are well-done, and the visuals are fantastic. My only complaint is that the game keeps giving me weapons that aren't bows. It's definitely the first new game in a long while that I could stand to put 2+ hours into at a time.

I'm starting to warm up to Tomb Raider. I think I just need to ignore the sidequests. It's all filler and even though they give you rewards it's not really worth it. Story is still crap though. I just don't care about the reverent.

I bought a steam controller. I pretty much hate it. I guess I'd use it if I didn't have the ability to use a PS4 controller instead with some extra programs and drivers. It sucks for rocket league, it sucks for dark souls, it sucks for everything. Whatever It was half price and I put it in the corner to forget about it. It is not turned on, and steam swears up and down to me that it is not in big picture mode, but every time I start a game it shows me a pop up for big picture mode on how to turn on the steam overlay by pressing the steam button on the steam controller. Every time I go into steam overlay literally every part of this UI is disabled to the mouse because it wants me to click it with the controller. Someone messaged me. I want to talk to them. I mouse over and click on the ugly dumb idiot UI that indicates I have incoming messages and it farts an error noise at me. fartfartfartfartfart. I click on settings fart fart fart fart fart. No loving explanation. Nothing. Nothing here is clickable. I'm going to eat my own hand. How do I fix this horseshit? I don't know how to turn off big picture mode because it says big picture mode is not on. When I try I just end up turning it on. And then off. And the ugly UI is still there. What the gently caress do I need to do to put my steam the way it was two days ago? e: Okay so I figured out on a wild rear end hunch before I even clicked post that if I disconnect the dongle it goes away but I still wanted to complain because god, drat, did this piss me off.

Spiderdrake posted:I thought the steam controller sounded bad but "forced into big picture mode" is a new level of bad I unaware of. It doesn't. If it's on when you start a game, the big picture overlay will be on, but if the controller isn't on, it isn't. And when you quit the game, it'll be back to normal. Krinkle posted:I bought a steam controller. I pretty much hate it. It's way different than a standard controller and definitely isn't like you're picking up an xbox controller and used to PS4 kind of different. It takes some getting used to, I like it for Rocket League more than my 360. I use it for most games except those where camera is on the right stick. I haven't found a good balance for being able to be precise but also quickly turn yet. But it also just might not be for you, and that's fine too. I'd buy mine again, and if I had to choose only one 360 vs Steam, I'd go with the Steam controller because of it's versatility. But having a pair is way better.

Palpek posted:I watched those Vive presentation videos on Steam and they gave me immediate Wii/Kinect flashbacks. People trying so hard to have fun together, let's clap our hands, kumbaya my lord. I'm not rejecting the idea as a whole mind you as I'm sure there are some good vr games upcoming and some of the existing games could benefit greatly from it . Just most of what they showed looked like tech demos and overall crappy ouya-level games that you will launch once never to open again. It looks terrible. It's also going to flop terribly until tech becomes available which won't require big bulky headsets (which no one will want to wear once the novelty wears off). Plugging in a controller for some games is annoying enough. No one wants to wear this uncomfortable poo poo on their head too when they're effectively trying to relax for awhile.

I begged for and got a vr headset for my super nintendo from some idiot catalog that wasn't skymall but was exactly as lovely and all it was, was a stupid early 90s LCD screens one inch from your eyeballs and a stick on a clip that you'd clip to your shirt and if you turned your head left or right it would rotate a dumb gimbal on the side of the headset which would then "press" the left or right button for you. You still had to play the game with your hands anyway and it did not make a 3d effect at all like the vitual boy display at the mall. It was so loving dumb I'm permenantly soiled on any 3d tech. These helmets are dumb and my eyes hurt just thinking about them.

Palpek posted:Rising owns bones and is like a 1.5 version of the first one, bigger, better and more fun. Even the locations are more breathtaking. If people don't like doing stealth they don't have to do it as the game offers fully functional combat which is improved from the first one. Overall it's one of those big, fully-realised, polished AAA+ releases that are a blast to play. I try to be stealthy until I get spotted, and then I just blow everybody up with explosive arrows. It's very fitting and cool that Lara Croft, on her noble quest to end death and suffering, brutally murders about 1,000 foot soldiers using all manner of incendiary devices. The game also improves 100% once you get the grappling hook.

Ryuga Death posted:Is D4 worth picking up? If you like Swery's work, absolutely. It does a few interesting things with the gameplay and the story is bizarre and odd and we're probably never getting a sequel which sucks balls. Also Enter the Gungeon's claim to be a bullet hell game fall short when most enemies fire one bullet alone, and for the vast majority of bosses, who don't always fire in crazy patterns by sometimes haphazardly, you can literally walk away from bullets and never get hit. Gatling Gull was a disappointment. Killed him with my starting pistol as the marine, even though I'd found some sort of portable cannon that sucked. Assuming you do get overwhelmed by bullets you have two options: Dodge roll, or use a "blank" which will destroy all bullets. Neither of which are bullet hell staples where you usually get a single pixel hitbox and have to memorize it's position all the time because 90% of the time you can't even see your ship. e: Also that VR trailer on Steam is giving me intense flashbacks to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDvHlwNvXaM Rush Limbo fucked around with this message at 11:23 on Apr 6, 2016 |

Ddraig posted:If you like Swery's work, absolutely. Uh, buddy, this might be a bullet hell but it's also a roguelike. That means it gets harder as it goes on. Try fighting the tank boss on chamber 3 and come back to me about how it isn't bullet hell-ish. Edit: Also the Blank is basically the same poo poo as bombs, which exist in quite a few bullet hell games, and has basically the same function.

Palpek posted:When I clicked on 'show me VR games on Steam' at the end of the Vive presentation the very first game on top was this: I saw this on the GiantBomb stream yesterday and it was pretty cute. The idea of the game is that you are a visitor to a museum that has an installation about how humans had a concept called "having a job". Since having a job is ancient history, there are things that are slightly off and wacky hijinks ensue. Meaning that you can gently caress around the scenery in a tech-demoish way, but there was quite a lot to gently caress around with and some cool interactions.
