Maiden and Spell came out. If you remotely enjoy shumps, Touhou in particular, I recommend it. It's a solid bullethell fighter with surprisingly really good and smooth netplay.

Yakuza 0 is now on Game Pass. You'd think I could finish it before the 3rd of March or will I get too wrapped up in its mini-games? I had a great 3 months with Game Pass but I should get around to the stuff I bought during the winter sale. And both Hitman seasons, holy poo poo I finally have a PC that can run it properly

The side stories and mini games are fun, but even without those, the main story is quite a hefty length. Personally, I'd recommend having at least a full month to play it on and off instead of rushing through, but that's me.

It's funny because my post about questioning my enjoyment of open world vs narrative games was from me starting to play Horizon Zero Dawn. The game is definitely a looker, I had to run it on performance mode on ps4 pro cause the fps was giving me a headache. https://kotaku.com/sources-horizon-zero-dawn-is-coming-to-pc-1841043569 Jason Schreier basically confirmed it, its coming to pc. Horizon is only 2 year old so I am wondering, if Bloodborne to PC is now a reality if this game sells really well. Would make sense for Sony since they probably have all the sales possible on playstation for it.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Here's the thing that really gets me though, some of the gotcha stuff really ain't. For example, prisons: if you don't have them, the only thing you can do is execution by sending them into the frozen wilderness. So instead, you keep them in a warm building for perpetuity. You want to release people from prison? You make them swear loyalty. Which also means that they become informants for your regime. Also, serving soup is looked down upon, because people in the frozen hellscape are gourmets I guess. This isn't entirely correct, if you don't have prisons you can choose to do nothing rather than banish them. And people reform after about 3 days locked up, you don't keep them forever - the loyalty pledge and informants are unlocked/made options by signing laws of the same name. I've only played through Frostpunk twice, once when it was first released and then again last week, and I won both runs pretty easily on the default settings. The more recent run I also saved everyone and only one person even got frostbite until the very final -150 night. What I don't like is the game still tells me I've gone too far because I built a prison (which is great at reforming criminals!) and a propaganda centre to spread hopeful news in the loving Apocalypse and convince the idiot Londoners not to go die in the snow. "Was it worth it?" Yeah, Frostpunk devs, it was, piss off. I also think their scripted events are fairly poorly done, for example the first big one wipes out almost all your Hope rather than reducing it by a set amount or a percentage, which has the odd effect of making people sadder the better you are doing, or if you know about it you can just trigger it early before you sign +Hope laws. Other times you'll be told your mines are too cold for your workers even if you have steam-robots working every mine, or the soil in your Hothouse has frozen solid even though your setup has them sitting at "Comfortable" despite how cold it is outside etc. That said, I still enjoyed playing it, and the snow/heat effects are great.

Ulio posted:Has this happened to anyone else? I use to love playing massive open world games like GTA or Far Cry when I was younger but these days I literally can't play them more than an hour after getting bored. I feel like I can't play any game that is too open or loose, I need some kind of narrative focus or the gameplay has to be excellent like the Souls games(not massive openworld but still). It's weird cause back in the day I hated games like Half Life or would have hated stuff like Wolfenstein but now I enjoy those games a lot more than the games I loved up as a kid. And its not even a time constraint thing. I have the same feeling on open world games for different reasons and different game history. Because I played a shitload of MMOs and alot of open world games, you can see games like the recent assassin's Creeds to show just how much poo poo there is to be done, and it can seem overwhelming. I always enjoyed games like halflife, in fact before open world stuff I enjoyed violent first person shooters, but I appreciate it even more because it can be linear and well constructed, as opposed to open world and all over the place.

Bought Dark Souls 3 on the Humble sale; played on PS4 a bunch before I had a PC but I'm ready for those sweet 60fps. I'm having a really bad time with controller support though -- I generally have no problems with my dualshock 4 on steam but for some reason the right stick camera control sensitivity is REALLY high even after turning all related settings down to the minimum; a tiny flick will rotate 180° or more and I think it's maybe reading the right stick as a mouse input? Open to any suggestions to fix this! Not super familiar with navigating the controller settings in Steam because most games have worked fine to just plug n play.

Try going into steam big picture and either tweak the controller setup or change the controller profile it loads to something else.

I gave this one a try because it looked neat, and it turned out to be even neater than it looked! Platformebruary 2020: Ultimate Collector's Edition 1. Blasphemous 2. Duck Souls 3. Dune Sea 4. A Robot Named Fight 5. Sonic Mania 6. Izeriya 7. MagiCat 8. Runner3 9. Harold 10. Spirits Abyss 11. A Short Hike 12. Super Time Force Ultra 13. Touhou Luna Nights 14. Spark the Electric Jester 2 15. Serious Scramblers 16. PONCHO 17. Umihara Kawase 18. Noita 19. Rain World 20. 8BitBoy 21. Wings of Vi 22. MO:Astray 23. Total Party Kill 24. Dandara 25. Potata 26. Skautfold: Usurper    Some of the most ambition I’ve ever seen in gaming has come from little indie passion projects. Fewer collaborators means a clearer line to the vision being presented, but it also means more pressure on those core creators to polish, balance, and correct their own missteps. Titles like Usurper are what hopefully emerge from these efforts, brilliant but flawed attempts at grand concepts. There are bugs, there are annoyances, there are gripes, but I’m happy to set them all aside to see more of this fascinating creation. At the close of a very different 19th century, London finds itself beset by demons pouring from a massive eldritch citadel perched above it. With reality itself warping under the onslaught, the forces of England under Queen Eleanore launch their own attack to drive the thing away. But other forces have their own designs on the citadel, including Waltham, a parasitic entity who commands a mighty cult. Weakened from a previous encounter with the citadel’s Navigator, he resurrects and possesses the body of Saragat, a royal knight. Saragat is not about to submit quietly, though, which begins an uneasy truce between the two for the sake of removing the citadel from London. This is just the tip of the iceberg for the narrative here, which itself starts up right from the conclusion of a previous game, Shrouded in Sanity. Prior knowledge won’t be necessary to enjoy the sniping between your unlikely heroes, or to follow the revelations about the citadel as you travel its impossible halls. The story is a decent driver here, including some unique characters, unexpected moves from Waltham, and a young H.P. Lovecraft palling around with a void demon. But the real draw is the worldbuilding and atmosphere offered by the citadel itself. Usurper is steeped hard in cosmic horror and familiar eldritch critters, while still proposing some very compelling ideas of its own. The cleverness isn’t limited to the setting, either. Usurper seeks to capture some of that ever-present Dark Souls magic with tricky, threatening foes, slow attacks, and strategic dodging, but puts its own spin on the formula. Your attacks and defensive moves all pull from a Guard gauge that gets used up very fast, but is massively recharged with successful dodges. That means your best bet is always to get right up in an enemy’s grill and go hard, dodging into their attacks to keep your gauge high enough to keep attacking. It’s risky, because your health pool is microscopic, but Guard is also used automatically as a second health pool (or regenerating shield) when you get hit. Coupled with the creative and diverse enemies you’ll face, this keeps the combat fresh as you work to perfect your approaches and adjust to new weapons you find. This being a metroidvania, there’s obviously going to be plenty of exploring for both new powers and new gear to help you to survive the journey. The citadel is a big place with plenty to see, but the layout does a lot to direct you where you need to go for your next boss fight and power. Scouring for loot mostly happens on your way to your destination, and then only turns up stones and vitae for leveling up or buying things, or the occasional weapon. There’s no armor or equipment besides your weapons, and no upgrades or modifications to those weapons, either. For that matter, the stat system is pretty underwhelming in how little improvement it makes for your character despite also being lifted from Dark Souls. Really most of the player systems, from equipment to spells to pets, feel rather underutilized and not worth much of your focus. The combat and movement is still quite good despite these shortcomings, but they are representative of the flaws I mentioned earlier. Usurper clearly aims to be a grand metroidvania but can’t help but show its indie roots in undercooked systems and other places. I feel the graphics are pretty debatable, with some perfectly creative and detailed enemies set against magnificent backdrops in some areas, and other foes and environments looking like MSPaint and Photoshop filters. I’m mostly okay with it, except some walls are really hard to pick out from the equally-gribbley backgrounds which can make pathfinding tough. The sound design is at least solid, setting some fine atmosphere in the more ominous parts of the citadel. It may be flawed, but Usurper is ambitious and satisfying in the most important ways. You are offered an adventure through a castle of mad eldritch confluences, cutting down fishmen and ythians alongside brains in jars and beings of pure shadow. Each new area is bolder than the last, and they’re all fine arenas for lashing out with your katanas and revolvers and enchanted polearms. It’s a grand setting for great combat, and when you focus down on that core experience a lot of those complaints I raised just melt away into the aether. Give this one a try, let yourself get caught up in the madness, and I think you’ll come back glad you did.

Too Shy Guy posted:I gave this one a try because it looked neat, and it turned out to be even neater than it looked! I love the Skautfold games on paper more than in practice, but they're all definitely worth a play, particularly because they're all different genres. Shrouded In Sanity plays like Dark Souls meets Streets of Rage, and Into the Fray is a twin stick shooter. The story solid and original in the Dresden Files way of "how did no one make this before." I'm pretty sure it's a one man dev team, too, which makes the games, and the frequency they come out, really impressive. Warlander came out today, and after watching a couple of game play videos for it, looks like it could be a lot of fun. It's a semi-roguelike, stamina based, slow paced hack and slash with an emphasis on targeting attacks and cutting up enemies. The art style reminds me of Darksiders meets Hand of Fate with a little Fable thrown in. Progressing through the game is done via a Slay the Spire style branching map of items, level up spots, and arenas. The special attacks have a lot of variety to them, and the vine, which allows you to toss around enemies and objects on a giant vine whip, looks especially fun. That said, it looks like it'll have the indie curse of "not a high enough price to justify additional content, not enough content to justify a higher price." The game play videos I watched showed the levels being all wide open spaces with small waves of enemies popping out, so I'm hoping to find some crowded areas and more chaotic situations, since action games, even slower paced ones, live and die on the ebb and flow of chaos and control. The voice acting is also dogshit, but I'm not exactly hoping for Shakespearean delivery from a $15 indie game. I'll likely be picking it up tonight, because, screw it, I've paid more for games that looked worse, but I'm going into it cautiously. Here's a game play video for anyone who wants to see it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey90reBmo7k

Steam loves to try to jam steam controller appropriate settings on to everything. Right click the game and set that to “forced off” in settings and you’ll be good to go. With Prey it stopped my game from even realizing I had an Xbox controller plugged in, it was basically reading everything as M+KB inputs. It’s so weird, when Steam realized the Steam Controller was dogshit and rightly buried it I figured they would have taken its tendrils out of everything else. At least you don’t have to go into big picture mode to change that setting anymore.
