Ooh, might be the first one I don't skip. Both Frost Punk and Shenzhen I/O are on my wishlist.

Heads up, the Hex is on sale for 2.49$ in a bundle on fanatical so don't pick it, it's not worth much

I've been considering Frostpunk for a while but the setting always makes me second guess, but I figure its time for a try. Underhero, Night Call, and Pathfinder all seem interesting, to a certain degree, and I might as well replay Okami after so long.

StrixNebulosa posted:How many actually good Wild West games are there? All I can think of are that Call of Juarez game and Hard West. Do Steamworld Dig 1/2 and Steamworld Heist count? Maybe Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath? There's also Gun which was pretty drat cool when it came out, but it was one of the first post-GTA3 open-world games so I doubt it holds up. E: Knew I was missing something: Gunman Clive and 12 Is Better Than 6! EE: Steam's "Western" tag has some interesting looking indies.

In COJ Bound in Blood, you sometimes get an option of who to play between two brothers, and I would recommend always picking the crazy one that can dual wield pistols. That game also had a nice auto cover system if youre crouching behind a box or at a corner. COJ Bound in Blood and Gunslinger are both lots of fun, the first CoJ is a bit old and rough but I still enjoyed it (played it after Bound in Blood). Deakul posted:GUN, the proto-Red Dead, was pretty fun back in the day but it hasn't aged gracefully. I liked Gun too back in the day and I waffle everytime it goes on sale, but I think it wouldve been hard to go back to even post RDR1. RDR2 is an amazing game but it leans so hard into Cowboy Simulator, in some ways I think the Call of Juarez games are more immediate fun for a western genre game. I replayed Gunslinger a couple years ago, I think i need to play it again. The devs of Call of Juarez Gunslinger got the publishing rights to it like a year or two ago, and it makes me hope there will someday be a Gunslinger 2.

Kinda torn on this one, only thing I really want in it Pathfinder which is apparently... not good? Maybe someone who played it could elaborate on it? e: On topic of Wild West shooters, there's always the grandaddy - Outlaws. No idea how the Steam version runs on modern hardware, though. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Feb 7, 2020 |

First Monthly I've done since the switch. Even if Pathfinder is bad I'm sure I'll get £12 out of it. Already have Frostpunk so I dumped the Wolfenstien looking game and know very little about the others. Any gems among them that should be checked out first?

Book of Demons is solid and Okami is, of course, simply excellent and worth every cent you'd pay for the bundle all by itself.

It was one of the things where my "preferred ending" was not in the cards but I am fine with that because that's how literature works. In the last conversation with Nora I indicated that I would be up for "staying over" but for the big choice I chose to go back to work on Eliza. I imagined it as trying to change things from within but you end up just basically being a True Believer. Oh well!

COJ Bound in Blood and Gunslinger are both lots of fun, the first CoJ is a bit old and rough but I still enjoyed it (played it after Bound in Blood). I tried Bound In Blood three years ago and all I got was unskinned yellow models doing T-poses in a dark dimension of nothingness. I don't think that's an universal problem, but keep in mind that game might need some serious ini fiddling to run properly. As for GUN, it's an open world game with barely anything in it. GTA 3 could stuff plenty in an urban environment, but GUN is mostly plains and wilderness. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Feb 7, 2020 |

The weirdest thing about Gun was that it had a scalping system that did absolutely nothing. It was probably going to be some kind of bounty system, but whatever intended purpose it had was cut and the action remained, and, IIRC, even had a tutorial snippet.

That’s a good Humble Choice lineup but I own too much of it to justify *not* pausing. I’ll still wait until the last day to do so so I get the 20% discount but yeah.

mcbexx posted:Kingdom Come: Deliverance will be free on EGS from 2/13 - 2/20. I just tried it on gamepass and free seems about the price it's worth. I gave up after like 2 hours, so maybe it gets better, but it felt like if Crusader Kings 1 and Skyrim had a baby. It's so janky and overly detailed, yet the sheer level of detail probably appeals to some people who'd get really into it. For example, you need to eat and different types of food have different values, but if you eat too much you get over-full and have penalties which might seem realistic but unlike eating IRL you have no feeling of fullness (or a fullness stat ingame) to tell you when you have eaten enough. There's also a perk which gives you extra bonuses if you've eaten the correct amount for several days in a row. If you carry food for too long it rots. Oh, and you can get dirty too and wash to different degrees in anything from a pond to a bath, and your level of cleanliness affects how people react to you OR you can take the manly odour perk which gives you a charisma bonus to ladies when you haven't washed. Also you can punch a horse to death (horses have glass jaws apparently) in the middle of a village and no one will bat an eye.

The actual obvious stinker in there is Cryofall, which is still in Early Access and appears to be a multiplayer-only MMO-ish survival game which is a great big nope from me. Otherwise the TD game looks pretty cheap and generic and Pathfinder is....Pathfinder. Everything else looks good. John Murdoch fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Feb 7, 2020 |

Cryofall, pathfinder, and the hex seem to be what everyone is skipping. Hex because it's in a fanatical pack for 2.50, cryo because it's an mmo. Pathfinder seems like it has technical problems for some and loved by others.

I wish they had a middle tier for choices. I'd do it for 4 games: Eliza, Underhero, Shenzen i/o, Okami. I've played like 2 seconds of Okami and the rest seem good. Humble, you have failed me once again.

I enjoyed pathfinder but 1. it's long 2. the final dungeon is loaded with enemies that have stat-drain spells / abilities so you have to prepare for that or you're going to get hosed. and 3. you can lose party members permanently in the final dungeon if you haven't done their quests correctly

I played Kingdom Come on Gamepass long enough to get to a like three page long, really smug explanation of how speech checks work that devolved into a terrible fist fight and have had no compulsion to pick it up since

GrandpaPants posted:So I got the bundle for Okami and nine other games I tried Project Warlock for 15 minutes (2 levels). That's probably too short time to make the final judgement, but so far I'm unimpressed. Basically Wolfenstein 3D with some light rpg elements, lame enemies, levels and weapons. The stuff in the trailer seems a bit better, so I'll probably keep playing.

I gave it a fair shake and beat it on the second hardest difficulty over the course of 8 hours or so (you can beat it much faster but I took my time with some achievement hunting) and I don’t think I’d recommend it to anybody unless you have a real hankering for Wolf3D-esque orthogonal levels. In the spectrum of classic FPS inspired games like AMID EVIL and DUSK, I wouldn’t rank it too highly.

My hot take is the best Red Dead game was Revolver, because you're a cowboy who shoots people and the story is pure spaghetti. Redemption has too many systems that seemed like busy work, and 2 goes even further in that direction.
