Time to buy this on GOG. Kind of disappointed that it didn't get the Remaster treatment though.

That's the second most exciting game release I've ever seen! I re-wrote my old review of Darkest Dungeon for today since the original dated from pre-Cove Early Access. It came to ten paragraphs and I'm pretty sure there aren't many left who need to be convinced of its virtues, so I'll just link it. I count it as one of my all-time top 5 on Steam, and I keep coming back to it no matter how many times I get my poo poo kicked in (I lost a game on hard mode like 20 hours in and immediately started another, for example) so definitely check it out if... I don't know, you just discovered Steam yesterday?

The original Maniac Mansion is also available now, but there's multiple other ways of playing that nowadays, so eh.

corn in the bible posted:Anyway I've actually been replaying tomb raider because the movie came out. I hear it's awful, but it made me remember my childhood so whatever, Tomb Raider! The movie, or the game? The movie's not awful, persay, but it is fairly bland, which is perhaps a worse sin. The movie does do a couple of the awesome reboot set pieces justice though.

Created by two brothers, Mike and Matt Chapman, Homestar had its origins in a children's book that Mike and his friend Craig Zobel made in 1996 starring the titular character, a friendly, dimwitted athlete. In 2000 the brothers started getting into Flash animation and then decided to make cartoons out of Homestar and his friends, thus Homestar Runner.com was born. Homestar was like the Looney Tunes of the 2000's Internet, a wacky cast of characters getting into all kinds of zany shenanigans. Homestar has aged beautifully and managed to be hilarious while being PG at most in an Internet landscape where tryhard edgy "comedy" was more of the norm, which has mainly all aged like milk in contrast to the genius of Homestar. Homestar's rival, the scheming cheater and wrestleman Strong Bad became a breakout character, so much so that he had entire cartoons starring him where he answered fan emails which eventually became one of the most prominent and beloved parts of the site. Homestar's role lessened some in response, he was still a main character but he now shared the spotlight with Strong Bad, who was the fan favorite that was wont to overshadow his rival. So it's little surprise that when Telltale made an adventure game adaption of the series in 2008 that Strong Bad was made the protagonist. Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People captures the spirit of the series perfectly, it didn’t hurt that the Brothers Chap were actively involved in development, namely in the writing department. Each of the five episodes has Strong Bad and pals getting involved in a new adventure. Episode 1, Homestar Ruiner, has Strong Bad challenge Homestar in the Free Country USA Tri-Annual Race to the End of the Race in which he then masquerades as Homestar to ruin his reputation, sending Homestar into a deep funk. It’s not long before Strong Bad regrets what he did and tries to make things right. Episode 2, Strong Badia the Free, has Strong Bad in conflict with The King of Town who has instituted an email tax. Strong Bad rebels against The King, and claims independence for Strong Badia, the vacant lot that he likes to hang out in. Episode 3, Baddest of The Bands, has Strong Bad starting a battle of the bands contest to raise money for his broken game console. Episode 4, Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, has Strong Bad show his friends his new homemade movie which the player actually controls in-universe. Finally Episode 5, 8-Bit is Not Enough, has Strong Bad getting sucked into an arcade machine and has to battle the fearsome dragon of his own creation, Trogdor the Burninator. Gameplay is pretty much standard point and click adventuring, though as I said Episode 4 does really neat and creative things by having you play inside in an in-universe movie. The puzzles are all quite solid and logical as well. They’re also a few minigames you can play such as some arcade games as well making your very own Teen Girl Squad comic. The atmosphere and writing are perfect facsimiles of the series in game form. The one caveat is that to really enjoy it you’re going to have watched a good amount of the cartoons. One of the biggest sources of humor in the series is callbacks, running jokes, and recurring characters so if you aren’t familiar with them you may not get it. For example, one of the best jokes of the game is revealing something about a long-time recurring character that would mean very little if you weren’t familiar with them already. The game is still funny without prior knowledge of the series, but it really helps. (And seriously you should have watched Homestar by now anyway and if not, change that, most of them are on YouTube now.) Cool Game for Attractive People is one of Telltale’s best games and a great comedic adventure game, you couldn’t ask for a better adaption of the series.

Is there any easy way, or indeed any way, to sort my library by tags? Like, I want to find local co-op games I own, and so far the easiest way seems to be to browse the store by the local co-op tag and scroll though the list looking for ones with the in library note, which seems inefficient.

Too Shy Guy posted:The icing on this bloody, moldering cake is how incredible it looks and sounds. The graphics are crisp and detailed and levels feature scenic sun-touched fields and freezing peaks in addition to the piles of lovingly-rendered corpses. Enemies are incredibly distinct even when rushing in hordes, and setpieces are grand and memorable. Accordion Man posted:Day 21: Broken Swords 1 and 2 In other news, http://store.steampowered.com/app/730820/The_Curse_of_Monkey_Island/ is on steam. It's pretty good. ... In other other news, I'm replaying STALKER: Clear Sky. It's... not quite as terrible as everyone says. The faction war and stash system giving you an incentive to explore and fight over most of the game map is neat... and if the AI was actually capable of the basic task of "go to the loving checkpoint please, so I can either secure or defend it", it would actually be pretty fun.

So I haven't kept up with the whole multi platform thing for a long while now and plain old gaming for that matter too but how is the performance parity now between Win/Mac/Linux? Sure not all games will be compatible at all but I remember back in like 2012 performance was pretty horrible for Mac (50% slower) and I don't remember linux. I'm not seriously interested in gaming on any of these platforms, just curious how things have come since then. I've been under a rock since like 2012.

Xander77 posted:Really? Watching videos makes Vermintide look like one brown-grey blob. It depends on the level, but even the grimy caves and burned-out cities have plenty of details to appreciate. I personally really like the one where you descend through an old mine to reach a troll feeding ground, because even though it's all rough rock and cart tracks the lighting is exceptional, with warm torchlight in some places, cold sunlight spilling in from high ceilings in others, and a pitch-black section that's always pretty harrowing. At least half the levels have some really vibrant and impressive scenery. There are several set in healthy forests and farmlands, others in bright cliffside cities, one in an old dwarven city that's been overrun and rebuilt as a skaven shantytown. The final level is split between neon green steampunk hellcaves and a warcamp perched on top of a glacier. It's all leagues more striking than comparable games.

As of a year ago, Linux performance tends to depend on how much of a poo poo the developer gave about the Linux port. Which, given very few people use non-Windows OSes for gaming, is kind of rare.

I liked the new Tomb Raider quite a bit. Enough so to think people were just dumping on it because it's a videogame movie and all videogame movies must be bad by default

Yeah it's not great, but it does have some really cool maps - which makes the big all-game-in-one mods for the third game even better. The starting swamp with everybody only having pistols and sawn of shotguns is a really fun place for fights.

lets hang out posted:It's not obvious but there is a way up that doesn't force you to go through unfortunate development. Remember the long vertical shaft back near the start? In the like 3 screens wide room at the top of that shaft there are unmarked pipes you can go through in the far bottom left that will put you on an alternate route through five pebbles. Longer, but maybe easier? Ahhh gently caress that would have been nice to know after I finished hammering my balls into dust. This game is sadistic and it's great.

My biggest problem with the new movie is that Walton Goggins' character got changed from 'crazy cult leader' Mathias to a Trinity goon (and even Trinity was way toned down from the zealotry in Rise to more of just generic Blackwater dudes). So I feel robbed of being able to see him go hog wild and the amount of Goggins scenery chewing was diminished as a result. Also, instead of a hodge podge crew of stereotypes cranked to 11, Lara gets 1 Daniel Wu, and while he's cool, Lara's crew from TR13 was mostly likeable enough to give the story beats some meaningful stakes and sorely missed. Also, McNulty is McNulty and I am yet to see him in anything else in which he actually does anything worthwhile. All that said it's still a competent action flick and Alicia Vikander does a good job with what she's given (though my gf was really salty that they didn't just cast Camilla Luddington).
