Oh yeah, this too. I guess you can differentiate between stuff like texture pop-in, LOD pop-in and just straight up objects popping into view.

The worst game in terms of pop-in I've played or even seen in the last 15 years. And it doesn't even perform well.

It is overall a very nice game, but also a real insane in other terms if you are simply unlucky. One friend of mine ran across "So creatures that can swallow you whole are living indoors" when he finally grabbed it on a sale, which I hadn't seen since EA personally.

Section Z posted:Why, they didn't even end up with their seamoth no-clipped to death inside a suddenly appearing mountainside My favorite bug happened to me twice. I somehow clipped through the ground with the prawn, which causes it to descend straight into hell. The issue with this, aside from the obvious, is that eventually you will start taking pressure damage, but also the game will spawn three leviathans to make sure you are hopelessly hosed. You can survive it by dodging leviathans and then hopping out of your prawn suit every time it hits 50% or so and repairing it, swapping batteries as needed. Once you reach 8192 meters, the game teleports you back to the surface where your escape pod landed. Most intense/exciting experience I've had playing a game in years, and it was due to a lack of care on the devs part. I was frantically just trying to see how long I could survive juggling repair batteries, and if there was a floor, and suddenly boom, safety.

Not just visual pop-in issues but entire chunks not loading so you'd end up with just completely blank spaces if you were travelling too quickly. It's kind of cool and eerie the first time it happens and then it gets annoying

So now I'm back to steam taking upwards of a minute just to realize I'm no longer running a game and that I want to switch to playing another game. I'm not really sure what is going on, all I know for sure is that it wasn't like this before it forced me to update to the new interface. The old interface was fast, never had this problem, and I could always view the library just fine. Now, everything is just so slow and it is almost like different parts of the interface are running at different speeds, like it will recognize if I'm hovering over a button and I can click and open certain things like drop down menus, but anything related to starting, closing, or switching to another game is incredibly lagged.

It's probably your videocard or something like that. Try going to Steam's settings, interface and enable/disable "enable gpu accelerated rendering in web view" and see how that goes. If that does anything then consider updating/reinstalling drivers.

Randallteal posted:-phtm- It was pretty much literally like this I don't know how to play less badly, I've been wearing out the quickload button. I don't remember having this much trouble with my non-lethal run in the first Dishonored. Of course, that game didn't have any goddamn Clockwork Soldiers. e: I keep squeezing the heart thinking that my mom will have something useful to say about the current mission, but it's always poo poo like "right now an orphan is drowning, clutching his teddy bear, the only thing that ever gave him joy in life".

Honestly, for the stealthy route I find utilizing height differences to the fullest to be the trick. It's amazing what you can get away with when you're just a tiiiny bit above the enemy. Roofs, shelves, creeping on the furniture.

It's been a hard couple of weeks, but the Weeklong Deals are finally back! And they're... pretty much just like what you remember. But hey, if you need a cheap-rear end platformer, puzzler, or puzzle-platformer, I've got a list for you to peruse. I did notice two things about the Weeklongs worth mentioning, though. One is that Steam has integrated a couple of their Steam Labs tools to let you better narrow the list to stuff you might want to see. The other is that the volume of indie games being released on Steam is so great now that fully half the games on the list don't have enough reviews to form an aggregate thumbs up or down. That's probably a function of their quality but I'd hate to be an actual good game that gets lost in that sea of garbage.

The 7th Guest posted:if you do origin access, they added sparklite, wreckfest and little misfortune I unsubscribed last summer because Game Pass PC has a better library overall IMO (and there were too many dire months in late 2018 and earlier last year where the main additions were old Star Wars games and indies like Gone Home that everyone on earth already owns), but they've been doing better lately. I'll resubscribe to the Basic tier next year whenever they add Jedi Fallen Order.

Fat Samurai posted:I'm in the mood for some mindless, grindy shooting fun. Warframe or Destiny 2? Destiny 2 has almost peerless shooting and increasingly obtuse everything else. Warframe has fine shooting but is more ability driven (this changes depending on what you're doing) and is also completely impenetrable to a new player if you do any progression stuff. My personal vote is Destiny but I've spent... time with both and they're both very good and frankly not terribly comparable.

Warframe or Destiny 2? do you want very high mobility with slightly janky gunplay and wait timers for crafting with years of new systems bolted on with not a clear explanation of goals: Warframe do you want a high amount of gloss and polish to gunplay but way lower mobility and slightly floaty jumping with tons of guns but some guns that are just plain better than others with quests that will have you engage in PVP if you want to complete them and also years of extra content without clear goals thanks to going Free to Play: Destiny 2 I wrote more for Destiny 2 because it's what I'm currently playing but I sank a lot of time into Warframe a few years ago.

Weapons are nice in both, but Destiny has floaty unsatisfying enemies and gets boring much quicker imo. Warframe has a great community, helpful goonclan and much more content. If you're looking for PVP though its surprisingly great in Destiny.

Man, I wish APB Reloaded was a good game. Given the choice between Destiny 2 and Warframe I don't like either and APB was the first thing that came to mind as a replacement. If I were to be looking for a game along those veins, I'd probably go with Division 2. Thought right now I've been playing a ton of Red Dead Online and let me tell you, plenty of folks to shoot in that game. I also feel like its worth mentioning that Halo Reach is out on PC now.

Fat Samurai posted:I'm in the mood for some mindless, grindy shooting fun. Warframe or Destiny 2? If you do end up trying Warframe, make sure you head over to the Warframe thread and join the goon clan. We'll give you a bunch of free stuff that'll help with getting your foot in the door, and can give recommendations for which of the ten zillion options you should be doing next. There's still plenty of grind to level up the free mods they'll give you and to get the resources to build new weapons, so don't feel like you're being cheated out of mindless grind. It's grind all the way down! E: Speaking of alternatives, are there any good action-mmos like Vindictus, Tera, or Black Desert that don't get totally lost in FtP black hole? Preferable ones with solo or coop endgame instead of Black Deserts "fun" gankfest. Stickman fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Jan 6, 2020 |

If you decide to take the plunge, then join our Goonclan. That way you'll have a support team to back you up, all very active and helpful. Destiny 2 is also a good game, but it has very traditional ideas and design. The payment model is not quite as fair either.

Wish I had more time. Right now, my backlog consists of (in no particular order, just games I picked up from the sale) RDR2 Gris Prey Plague Tale: Innocence Disco Elysium Sekiro Before all that, I gotta finish up this playthrough of Witcher 3. Oh and I kinda got the itch to play the Dragon Age series again, so that might make things more complicated

For some reason I was struck with the desire to play The Stanley Parable yesterday, I'd only played it for 45 minutes awhile back and was immediately hit with this achievement. Good stuff. Also this is old news, but after putting a few hours into it yesterday it really is a cool thing. Go play it if you've never put much time into it, it's not that long unless you absolutely must see everything.

OTOH the Ultra Deluxe version of Stanley Parable is coming out this year with even more content, so if you've waited this long you may as well wait a bit more for that.

Divinity Original Sin 2: christ, what a sequence - found a herd of pigs permanently on fire that doesn't hurt them, but does panic them, and we can't help them yet - attacked by a demon and some skeletons in a really tough encounter that made me work for a victory - found a blinded magister panicked by a ruined caravan and he tried to arrest me, then wouldn't let me leave, and I had to kill him despite his obvious panic - immediately afterwards found a scared bear cub that can't find its mom

tbh Destiny over Warframe Warframe is fun, but its grinding for the sake of grinding. Every time I join the goon guild is super welcoming and it's super fun, but also after I "get into the rhythm" and start working towards goals I realize everything is weeks/months away of just....grind. Destiny has amazing shooting. Fairly decent to great Halo style campaigns, and good gear progression ( can farm up a perfect rolled Legendary, or just do a quest for a "Pinnacle/Ritual" which is 95% good enough as a perfect Legendary. Or use an Exotic which has unique modifiers. ). More importantly though, Destiny's grind leads to something. PvP in Destiny is probably my favorite FPS right now, in no small part due to the announcer. If you cant stand traditional PvP you also have tons of goofy game modes like everyone gets a rocket launcher, or infinite supers which are just dumb fun. If you don't like PvP you can do Gambit, this competitive PvE thing with lite PvP elements. If you want pure PvE its got some of the best puzzle solving raids in gaming. Really unique things that are more then just dps checks but skill checks. Or Strikes and Nightfalls, which are psuedo dungeons you can run with randos for good loot/fun. The grind is also more fair? In Warframe the grind leads to ingame currency you can trade with whales to get Primes. In Destiny you grind for titles, which require you to do a lot of xyz task, so having one proves you really like xyz. Destiny is a game I'll keep installed and play regularly after I do everything. Warframe is a game I play for 12 hours, realize I have other stuff I want to play, then quit every few years. Also now is like the best time to jump into Destiny because they are moving the plot forward. Jump in now and you'll be largely caught up. Jump in next year and its going to be kind of weird because people will be dead/back/whatever.

The big difference is that Destiny asks you to pay big bucks every time anything resembling content comes out and you'll be left in the dust if you don't pay. Warframe is free, period.
