I'm a Humble Monthly subscriber. XCOM wasn't my cup of tea. Granted, I didn't give it much time but I've only ever liked one or two (Fantasy General, Shining Force, Battle for Wesnoth. Ok three!) turn based strategy games. Is TW Warhammer more of the same? Seems like it and if so I'm going to have to skip a month.

I don't see any settings which can affect that, and I've finished the Tutorials. Am I really only stuck with one save slot, or am I missing something? you're missing something. It's the same set-up as 1. This is going to sound stupid, but are you hitting down on the save screen? I literally have no idea what the problem could be otherwise.

The mouse interface can be a bit finicky sometimes, resetting the position to the top slot constantly. Thanks.

Humble sent me a promo email for 10% off and 5$ store credit for a resubscription to that last monthly so I got XCOM 2 and all the rest for $5.80.  I mean I already had XCOM2 but jfc these deals are insane.

Jerusalem posted:Well the deal on Mankind Divided today convinced me to remove the game from my wishlist. If I'm not willing to buy it at that steep a discount I'm probably not likely to ever buy it, and I've heard so many negative things about the game that I'm soured on it without ever playing it (ala WatchDogs and Dragon Age 2). It certainly helps to have heard the game cuts off just as it is getting good as a hook for a sequel that is never getting made. the only negative thing I've heard is that the plot isn't resolved properly. I'm a few hours in and it's great so far, as long as you're prepped for an unsatisfying ending then picking it up cheap is a no brainer, if you liked human revolution.

Then you'll definitely enjoy the gameplay of Mankind DIvided. It's a good game wrapped up in a poo poo burrito. Gameplay's solid as hell, though. The story gets up its own rear end and there's a lot of questionable design poo poo that you absolutely shouldn't reward the publishers for pushing, but if its cheap and you liked DXHR then you'll enjoy DXMD.

I know that people love Deus Ex as a series but I have tried all the games up to Human Revolution and bounced off all of them. The most salient thing about them to me is that Deus Ex Invisible War is the probably last game made that allows you to kill children

I've never cared about a game letting me kill children, it's always been a shock value thing mroe than an interesting mechanic thing, aside from a clumsily done Bioshock 2, maybe. Killing EVERYTHING doesn't make a game more or less realistic, it's what the thing you CAN kill that makes the game react that's the realistic bit. Like, it just seems like one of those weird things where, eh, I'd rather devs not waste the resources to kill kids and maybe add an extra couple of dress-up outfits for my shootmans instead..

I see Manchild has some DLC... "Well, what can I say. My name is Nikolay, I'm from Russia. ... It costs 250 Russian Roubles which is the price of a 10kg watermelon I buy everyday from a grocery store nearby. Is it worth the money? I guess, it does: I enjoy a watermelon for an hour, it's really tasty. The DLC is not that tasty of course, it's partially boring, but I get 3 hours of that and so it evens that somehow. ... Sometimes I buy a watermelon for the price of this DLC and then come home, split it with a knife just to find out that it's not ripe at all. And sometimes I just have to trash such an unripe watermelon because I can't eat it. It happens. I guess, that's the way the life is. And it's OK.a" Unfortunately, the watermelon guy has only one review in the system.

Don't blame anyone but yourself if you were stupid enough to fall for the "replacement chip" trap  CharlieFoxtrot posted:I know that people love Deus Ex as a series but I have tried all the games up to Human Revolution and bounced off all of them. The most salient thing about them to me is that Deus Ex Invisible War is the probably last game made that allows you to kill children The original has high entry barriers, most notably an infamously awful intro mission, and a bad marriage of obtuse RPG mechanics with FPS movement/shooting. However, it gets much much better once you're in. It also has an annoying kid you can dispose of in any way you see fit, if that's what turns your crank. If you decide to try again, do this one. IW is pretty bad from both writing and gameplay perspectives, and it's one of the worst examples of "consolization" of all time. HR is good in spite of some glaring flaws, like boss arena fights. But then Dishonored came out a year later and one-upped it in pretty much every way, so... Haven't played MD yet, and after all the poo poo I've heard about it I'm not in much of a hurry.

Synthbuttrange posted:Yikes, looks like a lot of people are unhappy about Diluvion's control and camera It can get a little wonky, especially if your POV ends up being behind a cliff or something, or if you get stuck between level geometry. On the whole though, I've found it to be okay, if a little finicky. That said, torpedoes are a bitch to fire if you don't have any good crewmembers on them.

A few years ago we in Australia got an 18+ rating on videogames and it triggered a memory of seeing 18+ prior to this. In my storage I found a PS2 game Manhunt which was pretty much banned all over the place. I bought this thing in a department store on launch. It actually has 18+ on it and the disc but well before the laws and was in the window before the ban and recall apparently. I'm wondering about how the gently caress it had that rating years before it was legislated. Also the very wrong thread sorry. EDIT: Sorry this thread moves fast and I should have refreshed.

okay guys I can't decide what game I want to play. I started Mass Effect and it's cool, but I wouldn't mind another game to play alongside it for when I get fatigued with it. Preferably something pretty open worldish, where it's fun to gently caress around. The games I have in my backlog that I'm wanting to play are Shadow of Mordor, Dragon's Dogma DA, Saint's Row the Third, Witcher 2(I really liked 3, but I feel this is something I should save to really focus on and enjoy after I get done with ME), and Far Cry 3. I also still have a bit of budget left to buy games with, so if there's anything open world, preferably a rpg, or having rpg like progression that's fun to mess around in, I'm open to suggestions. I've already played Elder Scrolls and Fallouts. e: Thought I was in the general recommendation thread

Shadow of Mordor is a lot of fun to gently caress around in mindlessly. There's a fair amount of gimmicks and abilities but they're all pretty intuitive. Just make sure to do plot missions first since they unlock new tricks for you to play on the orcs.

Manhunt came out in 2003 and Australian government ratings didn't apply to video games until 2005, so it would either have been an unofficial rating applied by the publisher for marketing reasons or a rating for another country.

Invisible War suffered very badly from being a console crossover, and is generally just a bad game, you can skip it with no problems whatsoever. Human Revolution's a good game with a crap ending (pick your ending from these three buttons), as is Mankind Divided (your ending will be in the sequel which has now been cancelled). I don't think your appreciation of the games released in the 2000s is really related to the games released in the 2010s - the teams who made them are completely different, and the only real tie-ins are the concept of human augmentations and a few character names.

The Australian government has applied ratings to video games since the mid-90s. All they did in 2005 was change them so they were the same as film ratings and as part of that overhaul standardised the position of and colour coded the stickers for both.

Doesn't the news report about the recall even just flat-out say it's a directive from the shady company you just investigated? That said, the core complaint is really that the boss fights in the original version of HR suck really bad, which is absolutely true.
