Also, if there are better deals on the PC versions that the $40 on Origin or $35 for Overwatch that would be great too. Titanfall 2's campaign is really fun but short ~5-6 hrs. The plot is standard scifi stuff but the gameplay is great (first couple missions are nothing special though) and so is your robot buddy BT. I think on Origin you can get it down to $31 with the current sale and coupon code TITAN20. Multiplayer is fun but hectic, but the population is poo poo if you want to play anything other than a couple popular modes, but I only really like one of the popular modes and havent had a problem getting into a game within ~30 seconds. Overwatch is really fun as well and theres a ton of different characters to play around with, but multiplayer only. The characters give so much variety I probably have over 120 hours in it from beta and release. Burned out pretty hard and havent played it in awhile but even if youre bad at FPS games theres heroes that are good for those who cant aim (like Winston). Haven't played BF1 beyond a few quick match games and it was pure chaos and I probably shouldve gone with fewer player-count modes.

I haven't played a multiplayer FPS since Battlefield 2, and don't really enjoy even single player FPS unless they're weird like EYE, but I've put 180 hours into Overwatch since release, with no signs of slowing down. It's crazy good and there's so much hero variety that you can almost definitely find a few heroes you enjoy.

I'd like to check out the new additions but I don't know if I want to check it out enough to start all the way over. Edit: After playing some more, here's the second trip report. You buy freighters by finding them among fleets. So now fleets in space aren't completely useless, you can land on their freighter, use it as a place to trade with other NPCs landing there, and buy the freighter outright. There may be some kind of mechanic I don't know about yet regarding being friendly with the captain in order to actually build on the ship, as I couldn't get building within the ship to work in creative mode. Outside of being a mobile base (not that you needed one, since bases allow teleportation) it's a glorified storage box. However, considering how much has changed in the past 3 months of development, I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being a thing you had to defend against pirates while providing some other perks at some point. Important to note that you have to quit the game to switch between the 3 modes. Kinda dumb but probably will be patched. Also of note is the fact that the "nearby" function in the galaxy map actually works now. There are people all over the starting area! Now if there were just some freaking way to actually know where they left behind messages. So, yeah, you can now leave floating terminals that just let you type in whatever message you want and someone else can run across it in their game and read your message. It's just Dark Souls but you type the message yourself. I honestly never understood what the point of doing something like this would be in a game so loving vast and without any actual way to see that the message awaits you. Perhaps they'll add it to scanning (or perhaps they already have?) Scanning is now waaaaaaaay more useful. You see what you actually need instead of having to land on a planet and search. Also, the buildable signal boosters will direct you to exactly what you're looking for now. Well... more or less... I don't think they show you where crashed ships are anymore? I'm not sure about that quite yet. Most importantly! The game has loving MISSIONS now. When you build your base you don't get instant access to everything. Instead, you build a terminal for construction, hire a dude at a space station, and he will issue you quests to gather things in order to build more things. This continues in a chain, as far as I can tell, of unlocking the other 3 terminal types which then lead to those hired dudes sending you off on other missions in order to unlock more features. In other words, an actual loving proper quest line to get more stuff instead of just "walk up to random terminal, unlock secrets to galaxy." So yeah, starting a new game in survival is actually attractive for this feature alone. It'll sorta be like playing a new game. DaveKap fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Nov 27, 2016 |

Go to the camp, fight the hydra, you should get a quest to head to Gran Soren. If you've already done that, head to Gran Soren because they move the quest-givers to the entrance of the canyon. Zereth posted:Eh I'd peg Starbound as more "okay, i guess?" than "decent". Hope you don't like guns, for one thing. In my case, I put fifty hours into Terraria just through mining and exploring and never ever touched combat outside of self-defense (never beat a boss or advanced the plot) so hearing that Starbound is similar with a sci-fi flavor sounds incredibly up my alley. I keep meaning to pick it up and check it out, but I also run into the trouble I did with Stardew - knowing that whenever I get it, I'll likely lose the next two weeks to it, if I really click with it. Anyways, I hear it's not what they promised at the beginning, but it turned out decent, and that's good enough for me. DaveKap posted:In Starbound's defense, I've yet to meet someone who played the final release for its final price without playing any of the Early Access versions who was disappointed in their purchase. I'm convinced that the only people disappointed by the final game were those who were around to watch it "grow" into what it became. This, essentially. By the way, DaveKap, your posts have kind of sold me on NMS. I'm not gonna pick it up anytime soon, but I've gone from "no thanks" to "hey I want to see what else they add to it, and maybe grab it while it's on sale", so - good job, I guess? I love exploring weird universes and it sounds cool.

I haven't played BF1 (although I hear it's great), but I'm a huge fan of both Overwatch and Titanfall 2. Some of the most fun games I've played in ages. While there is a decent, albeit short, campaign in Titanfall 2, all of those games are really going to boil down to the multiplayer. I'm assuming that you have at least some experience or knowledge of Battlefield, Team Fortress 2, and Call of Duty? I think one could easily recommend BF1, OW, and Titanfall 2, respectively, just based on your feelings of the earlier games in general. Personally, if I were stuck with only one of those games on a desert island, I would have to go with Overwatch, which is probably the tightest and most polished multiplayer FPS I've ever played. It's much more streamlined and objective-focused than Team Fortress 2, but still gives you a lot of flexibility in how you play the game. If you're really not into multi, I would echo other people in saying DOOM, since the single-player was a lot of fun and it was a worthy sequel to Doom 2.

The recommendations so far have been good, but I also think it needs a "NOT STARDRIVE OR STARDRIVE 2". You may see them while you're looking. The marketing looks promising. The marketing lies. The dev cut features (like goddamn multiplayer, or finishing event chains) that were promised for the original to move them to the sequel. And when people asked about that, he melted down spectacularly.

Another No Man's Sky travel report. Survival mode is loving bonkers hard. Aside from the fact that it makes your life support and hazard suit bars go down waaaay faster than you're used to, the fall damage will be the end of you early game. It's so loving hard that I have to assume getting control of your situation is going to feel REALLY satisfying. The worst really is handling your life support, though. By starting out in hazardous conditions, your life support automatically takes a huge hit and the only way to actually keep it up is by finding Thalium9 which is not a very common thing to find. At least not on my stating planet. Considering the scanner takes a long time to recharge now and you need it in order to find that Thalium9, you're spending time in caves trying to keep yourself from dying due to the hazardous environment. Basically, you will die and it will probably be from fall damage. I'm not sure if I'll keep bothering with Survival or just go back to my Classic save since it has all the new stuff anyway. When you start up your classic save, it actually prompts you with a short list of patch notes. One of the ones that stood out to me was "larger space battles and new ship mechanics." I have no idea what the new mechanics are supposed to be but here's hoping they finally added missiles... Lastly, despite my earlier post exclaiming you don't just walk up to stuff to find new tech, this is still actually a thing you do. It's just that a bunch of tech is now hidden behind the base building missions instead. Important difference there but if you already found all the random "click to find" tech in your Classic game, there is now more to find. First thing I clicked on gave me tech for my blaster, so there is plenty more to discover now in your old game. Edit: Oh poo poo, I think I just realized why my life support shoots down so fast... Melee boost jumping is now tracked by the game. And it makes your life support SINK. Wow. They turned a bug into a feature... one that actually hurts you in survival mode. Jeez! Edit2: Oh, right, crafting things actually matters now... so gathering up the easier-to-find plutonium and carbon lets you make packs that fix your life support. It's crazy coming back to this game 3 months later, your prior knowledge has to be discarded. DaveKap fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Nov 27, 2016 |

The combat system is turn based and relies heavily on status effects, where you can "exploit" them with certain attacks to do double damage but remove the effect. The rest is kind of XCom-y. Base building, permadeath of characters and ships, and so on.

Captain Invictus posted:It's what, 20 or 30 bucks? That gets you access to the Java version, which has like 7 years worth of modpacks for it, and launchers that will auto-install said packs for you. Of all games, I feel Minecraft is second only to possibly Skyrim for the amount of fan-made content available to alter your gameplay experience. $30. And yeah, it's just that I've tried the free version of Minecraft in the past like and I couldn't get into it at all and I really can't justify plopping $30 on it. But, these mods definitely make me curious cause I love loot and variety in enemies/biomes but vanilla Minecraft lacked both that I could see. Like Terraria was my jam, I got some many hours in it just building up a comfy base and killing monsters and going cave/dungeon crawling for loot and loot chests. So, would you say that there's mods that would scratch that itch? Sounds like the mod you posted probably does.

Also, if there are better deals on the PC versions that the $40 on Origin or $35 for Overwatch that would be great too. I'm going to go against the grain here. Don't buy Overwatch. The game has no singleplayer content except versus bots. While it was probably very active on PC back in the day, it's right now at the point you get to wait 2-3 minutes for a game, and you'll often get paired against people in the 70s-150s range for your first few matches. If you dare go in as a group with a friend, you get rocked by premade groups of people that are currently waiting for comp to open back up. Even playing casually for an hour or so, it'll feel like most of the time you spend in game is spent in skirmish loving around for nothing if you play solo/low level solo. It's worse all the way down. While the hero diversity is nice, it's also a major issue in terms of balance. Certain heroes just become way too good for brief snippets of time because nobody could possibly balance that many heroes efficiently, and Blizzard also isn't up to the task. You'll often lose matches not because of a lack of skill or team skill, but because a certain hero was there are a certain time, and was able to pop their ult and slaughter the winning team, giving the losing team a comeback moment. And the worst offense in my book is there is nothing to actually work for. Every time you level up you get a loot box, which I guarantee you will give you nothing but lovely sprays. If you get a skin, it won't be for the hero you like to play, that's for drat sure. It's not until you get into the mid 50s-100s and start getting coins more reliably can you actually buy the stuff you want, but uggh. It's an incredible game despite my bitching, don't get me wrong, but it's not genre savior or anything. I'm also not sure where to classify it anymore. Even with the proverbial influx of new people due to the sale, the low tiers feel near empty, and it constantly pulls far better players/long wait times, neither of which speak well to it's supposed casual nature. On the other hand, they are constantly pushing the esports leagues, the esports ladder, comp mode, etc etc, and the people that enjoy those things have latched onto the game and apparently started tearing into the rest of the community which is probably good for a comp natured person, but it doesn't sound like you are that. Instead I'm going to say get Battlefield 1, which is and always will be the best FPS multiplayer series for every single person. If you are bad at FPS? Battlefield don't care. Go Medic or Support and keep the team moving. Play the Objective and Battlefield will keep you on the scoreboard for it. Want to just casually play a match or two? Good news! Battlefield PC has like 5 times the pop of every other shooter out there combined right now, you get matched up in ~5 seconds. Nobody gives a gently caress what anybody else is doing either, since it's 64 player servers and as long as there aren't 10 Scouts, most teams will work smoothly. Want to just faff about with a Shotgun for awhile? Battlefield supports that. Drive a tank directly into the enemy lines? Battlefield supports that. Rock that hot .75 KDR? Nobody cares, it's Battlefield your life is measured in what you can accomplish in minutes, not how many kills you get. Want to get some friends and play together? Sure, steal a tank and run roughshod over the enemy back lines. Battlefield is and will always be the proverbial "I just want to gently caress around for a bit with friends" shooter. You load into 20-30 minute long fights, and your actions by and large don't matter to whats going on, outside of the broad strokes. So no matter how good or bad you are, you are largely on the same field in terms of accomplishments. Campaign is overall ok. Italian and Flight Campaign are legitimately good. Arabia Campaign is ok but not phenomenal. Tank Campaign and Gallipoli Campaign are kind of bland, but not offensively so.

Captain Invictus posted:Yep, oftentimes comedy falls flat when you're really, really down. While not something on Steam(of course), in regards to that, when I went through some...bad poo poo, I had just installed the Minecraft: Life In The Woods modpack. It adds thousands of new items, recipes, foods, buffs, animals and monsters, and over a hundred new biomes to the game, as well as more robust villages and villagers with quests and poo poo. It is absolutely less about building absurd machines to automate everything, and more about exploring, farming, and building. If you have a good PC, it also has an optional shader pack that adds dynamic lighting, shadows, water, etc and makes the game look just really great. I put hundreds of hours into it, it really helped me out during a particularly rough time. God drat you for making me want to re-visit Minecraft. I'm super interested in this. What's the difference between the original version and Renaissance? I don't even see a place to get the original.

I've experienced long-ish queue times before but only rarely and usually way late at night, more often than not your expected queue time for quickplay is less than a minute if that. Also re: lootboxes and stuff to work for different strokes, but "nothing to work for" is another way of saying that when you buy Overwatch you don't have to grind to unlock perks or weapons or characters, you get everything everyone else does immediately and can ignore all the dumb cosmetic bullshit.

If you get a skin, it won't be for the hero you like to play, that's for drat sure. It's not until you get into the mid 50s-100s and start getting coins more reliably can you actually buy the stuff you want, but uggh. LOL at these two paragraphs being in the same post.

Kai Tave posted:I don't really care to convince you otherwise but having just got done playing a half dozen games this is strictly untrue and kind of bizarre ("back in the day" what, the game is less than half a year old and has a playerbase in the tens of millions). I've experienced long-ish queue times before but only rarely and usually way late at night, more often than not your expected queue time for quickplay is less than a minute if that. Maybe this is different for people who the skill calc has already decided for, but as someone who literally just bought the game due to the Black Friday sale as he arrived home on Friday, this has been my experience. I log on, queue up, wait 30 seconds for a game. Get in game. Game ends, 2-3 people leave. Then the game closes, sends me to Skirmish or Menu, it seems to be random. From there I queue up for another game. Wait 1-2 minutes, and get a game on average by 2 minutes. Worst was 5 minutes ( on Saturday morning. At maybe 7am Pacific ), fastest was 45 seconds. In an hours worth of queueing I'll usually get about 3-4 games. When my friends logged on and we got a team of 2-3 people together, queue was instant. They were all 100+ though, and we faced 100+ teams. All the teams we fought were premades with team names, and they told me they were comp teams playing the quick match because comp/arena isn't on right now. I'm 100% willing to admit this isn't the norm, and maybe I just got unlucky with when I queued, and everyone is gone for Thanksgiving. But that was my experience near the entire night Friday ( 8pmish Pacific to 1amish Saturday Pacific ), followed by a solid 5-6 hours on Saturday ( 7amish Pacific to 1pmish Pacific, followed by 5pmish Pacific to 8ish Pacific when I was playing with friends. )

Glad folks are enjoying Life In The Woods. It's such a good modpack for Minecraft.RVWinkle posted:Green Man Gaming has their Mystery Bundle discounted to $.49 and you get a second free game because of their Black Friday sale. I ended up with Centauri Sector and Corporate Lifestyle Simulator. They're nothing to write home about but I feel like I got my money's worth. https://bignic.bandcamp.com/album/zombies I heartily recommend the tracks "Monkies", "Scratch", or "Ultimately(Boss Intro)" as some samples in that link. Ultimately is some good-rear end boss music buildup, and it just keeps going.
