Tomb Raider is super 90s anime because everything is pointy.

Steam did an update for me today which seems to have broken the scaling option in Windows 10. I've previously used the Override high DPI option in the compatibility options for steam.exe but that doesn't seem to work now and everything looks blown up to poo poo again.

Just got done replaying TR2013 for the first time in idk four years? - This still has to be the best-looking game of 2013, incredible that it was a last-gen title. - The entire thing looks like it's shot with documentary-style shakycam and it's a bit distracting. - Lara kills a shitload of people, like I remember it being a lot but she must rack up a bodycount in the hundreds here. - I absolutely adore the nerdy guy who is totally in love with Lara and risks his life to bring her... a wrench. Truly the most accurate depiction of a goon in video games ever. - The subtitles are amazing. <prolonged, sharp death scream> - The whole end sequence is just epic as gently caress. I love that you can beat the whole thing in under 10 hours. Short games own!!

I'm not sure when I'll be ready to review it but I started Stellaris yesterday and it's been kind of a revelation for me. I haven't really gotten into a space 4X since Space Empires IV, and even then I was never good at them the way I was at, say, Civilization. On the other side of the coin I've never been able to get into Paradox games because of their open structure. Without clear goals to work towards I couldn't gauge how effective my decisions were, or how fast I should expand, or really what I should be doing at all. But something about Stellaris makes it all click. The tutorial missions make it super clear what I should be doing when, and once I ran out of those I felt like I knew exactly how to carry on. The anomalies and event chains give me goals to work towards on top of basic expansion. And I really, really like all these little incidental events that pop up and give the galaxy flavor. I don't know if I'm going to get off-track or get crushed out of the blue a few hours from now but right now it just feels exceptionally good to play, something I haven't really gotten since my hundreds of hours in Civ IV.

Fun Times! posted:Assassins Creed Origins is on sale. Does it have any performance issues? But a lot of people have complained that it used 100% CPU etc. I never noticed any slow-downs or over-heating. Grab it from somewhere you are sure to be able to refund it without any problems.

Make sure you actually reach mid-game at least once before you really percolate on it. That being the point at which expansion and exploration are over. The recent update made it a lot better but it still suffers from a lot of the exact same issues other 4Xs do.

The thought of Lara finding a room filled with gold and ancient artifacts and then immediately converting it into something to make her bow or guns better never got old.

It amuses me that Lara apparently has a machine shop in her pocket that enables her to make guns and gun parts from scratch, on a cursed island.

Um if you were paying attention you'd notice she actually finds the gun blueprints in dessicated tombs that haven't been touched for centuries, guy.

exquisite tea posted:- The whole end sequence is just epic as gently caress. I don't play a whole lot of AAA action titles anymore so maybe it's more common than I think, but I remember playing through the last sequence there starting where you're sneaking around and seeing all the warriors and the massive fight that follows, and thinking they somehow got the whole look and flow of a giant summer action movie climax setpiece done perfectly.

There was a chance you'd always find weapon or bow parts on the dead bodies of your enemies too, which is slightly more plausible and also more metal. I just pretended that Lara found a better automatic weapon when the game told me that she was essentially able to convert a WWII era submachine gun into a weapon that more closely resembled an AK of some kind.

Dig 1 was a bimbo game, really good looking but shallow. Heist is way better but it would be awesome if they didn't cut the randomly generated world map. Is Dig 2 better than 1?

Terminally Bored posted:Dig 1 was a bimbo game, really good looking but shallow. Dig 2 is very similar but has more emphasis on environmental platforming and and less on just digging straight down. It barely has any boss fights though which I found a bit disappointing. Just one at the start and one at the end.

Also, I haven't played Dig 2 yet, but the whole mineshaft in Dig 1 is procedurally generated, with only the platforming chambers where you acquire new powers and optional puzzle areas being handcrafted. Dig 2 has a 100% handcrafted world and has much more of a Metroid-esque design, from what I hear.

I just pretended that Lara found a better automatic weapon when the game told me that she was essentially able to convert a WWII era submachine gun into a weapon that more closely resembled an AK of some kind. I'd love to see a sci-fi game where humanity uses laser weapons and has discarded all records of its barbaric past, but the alien menace is impervious to lasers and so you must tomb raid in order to find weird old guns and return them to base for reverse engineering. Queue epic battle whereby the intrepid heroes go through a dozen Derringers, and fierce arguments on whether or not it is a magazine or a clip. Tomb Raider kinda missed the opportunity to have more fun with its weapons. The escalation was something that was extremely well handled, particularly with the enemy barks, but I was hoping for more weird scavenged poo poo.

The next Tomb Raider looks to be in Mayan ruins so I think aliens are 100% guaranteed for this one.

Mordja posted:Isn't that part of what sunk the original THQ? this is just a shot in the dark, but i think i know what's going on here, and the article's... possibly a little misleading. if you look at the list, you'll notice that Tak and the Power of JUJU is one of the listed IPs. Tak and the Power of JUJU was a game-original IP Nickelodeon made; the three games that came out on PS2/Xbox/GC are pretty fondly remembered and were published (and possibly developed) by THQ. while there was a cartoon, it only lasted a single season, postdated the games by several years, was hated by fans of the games for making a bunch of really dumb and lovely changes to the setting and characters, and... is probably not why they snuck that IP in, on the whole. i'm pretty sure most of this was just a roundabout way to unfuck those rights so they can remaster the Tak games, because SpongeBob is the literal only other IP in that list with any particularly decent games to come out of it. hell, some of those IPs don't even have games (Zim, Danny Phantom, Wild Thornberries) or only have games that came out back in like the SNES era (Ren and Stimpy).

A lot of the weapons end up really pedestrian for being set on an island with thousands of years of history of shipwrecks. I mean, if nothing else you could have had a ton more weird variety from the 20th century but it boils down to action movie shotgun, action movie automatic rifle, action movie pistol, and bow. The second game has more going on in variety but is also much more lacking in flavor. That said the weapons and gunfeel are still much better than Uncharted and I will happily give them that. When I was playing the Uncharted games I was always relieved when combat was over and I could get a neat platforming bit or some more story but I never looked forward to more combat. With TR13 and Rise I enjoyed the shooting and platforming, and the story (at least in Rise) was the disappointment.
