It was probably the one time Steam's recommended list actually showed me something I'd never heard of and ended up liking.

Hey folks, I've got a whole bunch more steambux available if anyone's looking to get an extra discount on steam games. I'm having some good fun with the new No Man's Sky update and can get it for you at a deeper discount than the current one, down to $21, if you're interested. The latest patch added a bunch of stuff including 30ish hours of story, revamped worldgen, improved UI, dinosaurs, removed the low-flight restrictions, crashed space freighters on planets, added rudimentary multiplayer(to be expanded on later), and a crapload of other things in addition to the first two patches which added quite a bit to the game already. This is probably what they had intended to release in the first place until Sony shoved them out the door before the game was ready.

Xander77 posted:I'm pretty sure every single post you made about NMS was "yeah, the game is fine, I don't know why anyone is complaining". I mean, you could think the game was fine at release even though it was incomplete considering the internet mindset at the time was "worst game of all-time, possibly the worst thing of all time tied with cancer because at least we can treat AIDS okay now", and also think it was an incomplete vision. I'unno because even at the height of hype NMS never interested me, if I wanted to explore poo poo I'd go get lost in the middle of the woods or something.

If you're talking about my posts in the no mans sky thread from last year, I was trolling the poo poo out of that thread. Most of my posts otherwise have been "I enjoy it but can see why others are disappointed". Nowadays though it's genuinely vastly improved over the release version.

I don't wanna put Strix on the spot but she posted a pretty cool story about her NMS exploits today on Twitter that got me interested in giving it a try. I mean, I've always been interested in NMS because I love wandering aimlessly in games but I think that pushed me fully into Get It Eventually mode. So yeah, how about those Weeklong Deals, huh? There's actually poo poo in there you folks enjoy, like Wuppo and Hexcells so you might want to have a look for yourselves. And if not, I can cover the stuff I've played. And buy Mini Metro while you're at it, I loooooooove Mini Metro. EDIT: Whoops, there you are

StrixNebulosa posted:You could, but the woods have mosquitos and aren't technicolor wonderlands so it's not quite the same. Fair enough. For real though I have a lizard brain that needs measurable progress to keep doing things, I bounce super hard off sandboxy, "creative" games because of that. On the other hand I spent a stupid amount of time this weekend leveling a new PoE character. ARPGs gently caress me up super bad.

I AM BRAWW posted:What a poo poo game compared to the amazing Mafia II. Nothing feels "Mafia" about this. I'm basically playing CJ from Grove St. for all I care. The story missions are actually really good and do feel more like a Mafia game. The problem is there's a ton of filler in between them.

It's pretty fun. Unoriginal as gently caress with often cringeworthy writing but does the 2D Deus Ex thing reasonably well with multiple ways of approaching objectives and multiple character builds (basically punching or guns). If you don't mind the story being cliché upon cliché, it's a fairly good game.

I'm pretty sure a culture that's used a particular symbol for thousands of years doesn't have to give it up because a gaggle of assholes in the 20th century co-opted it. Christians didn't give up on the cross when the KKK started burning them in peoples' yards. It's a map symbol that means temple, and it's used throughout Asia. Westerners do a double-take the first time they see it and then forget about it when the look at the map legend or just wiki it. No one actually mistakes it for crypto-nazis.

So could anyone write a bit about Tale of Wuxia games? I played and liked Age of Wushu in the past, so I got a thirst for Wuxia setting and tolerance for localizations made by a blind Vietnamese farmer who doesn't understand neither English nor Chinese and I was eyeing various Chinese rpgs/strategy games like Tale of Wuxia to get my fix, but I have no idea what to expect except "Wuxia" and "jank" so I am bit leery about buying them blind.

I got Frozen Synapse back when it came out but never really enjoyed it.

The titanfall 2 campaign is awesome and the first great FPS campaign I've played since call of duty 4. It's also the only game I've ever played with first person platforming that was fun. I think the game's on origin access now so if all you want is the campaign, you can play it for $5

The first Tale of Wuxia is a bit like Princess Maker, except its training up a kung fu maniac that can learn martial arts from anything, even drinking tea or guzzling alcohol like a drunken ape. There are city environments that can be breath-takingly scenic and serious and then little goofy moments with cartoonish proportions throwing slight gags. You can romance people or avoid it entirely, you can strive to be good, evil or just beyond it all and seek specialized different endings everywhere. It is a game that gives you a lot of freedom in how you want to play it but unfortunately the instructions to play it are still like 3/5s in Chinese or badly translated. It will also kick your rear end if you try the hardest difficulty and are entirely new so the best thing to do regarding the first game is to take it at your own pace, read up guides and learn how to play it if you're interested as its one of the few legit Chinese RPGs that you can play without creative computing and decent Chinese comprehension and its a decent pedigree. There is an LP made by the very cool Nyaa of I think an older version of the game if you want to spoil some of the first game to see exactly what's up. There is some other content that is never coming west though so its still flawed to a degree. However, I'm not sure how different the new game is so I'm still trying to find out about it myself.

Orv posted:E: To clarify, once the game is released the base package will only come with a few pistols and that's it, there won't be higher packages. Additionally you'll be able to purchase the loot saving containers, and expand stash without paying real money (aside from the B2P price.) This is all provided they actually managed everything they talk about and fix all the problems, which right now looks, questionable. $45 for the lowest tier sounds a bit too rich, PUBG was only 30USD.

Croccers posted:Yeah one of them mentioned this, apparently you can already buy the larger loot saving containers but they're in the millions of game money so it's totally not pay to win guys see you can buy all that cool $140 tier stuff yourself through sheer Honestly the mid tier container available right now isn't too hard to get for 'free' but yeah. The real concern you should have with EFT is that the devs are being incredibly tight lipped about the problems the game has been facing since the move to CB, and are starting to fail to be able to prove they can actually deliver their intentions. If the game comes out with everything it's supposed to, doesn't suffer from crippling lag and insanely overtuned AI, I will happily sing its praises far and wide, because it has an unmatched level of immersion for a shooter. Right now you absolutely should not give them money. Orv fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Aug 15, 2017 |
