anilEhilated posted:Combat is still Skyrim-style but there is more focus on using movement to dodge attacks, mostly because they put in a mechanic that prevents mass abuse of healing potions. Skills got completely revamped, it runs on an experience/money leveling system now where you gain learning points on level-ups which you then combine with skill books to level the stats, making money an important part of the game. Skill trees now also contain active abilities (shout replacements) that don't share cooldowns and let you do some pretty cool stuff, especially when combined. Definitely sounds worth giving a go. I see it has its own entry on Steam. Do I just install Skyrim SE and then install that via Steam? edit: forgot a very important question: does it have good fashion options, or just the already existing skyrim gear? double edit: oh I misread the earlier post, I need original skyrim for it. wellp, maybe I'll buy it later.

If you find yourself getting constantly bent over, don't hesitate to turn the difficulty down, and then back up again later when you start feeling a little less squishy. Also, world areas are hand-leveled, so you can get into deep poo poo if you wander too far in the wrong direction. But yeah, Enderal is probably the most fun I've ever had with an Elder Scrolls game (other than maybe Morrowind on launch, because that blew my loving mind).

From what I remember of my brief attempt to play Enderal, it’s Elder Scrolls with terrible sound mixing and VO and every enemy is a damage sponge while you’re a piece of damp toilet paper.

It's a total conversion, it makes it a completely different game. Whether that's a good thing is really up to you do decide.

There's a free prologue as well, so you could get a taste of it before plunging. I'm downloading it to see myself. Oh yeah -- also, TooShyGuy/GoldPlatedGames is going to be streaming it on Twitch as part of an indie variety night at 12am Eastern.

Grim Dawn and it's expansions are on sale this weekend, $5 for the base game and $28 for the base + expansions. The former seems obviously worth it but how about the expansion bundle? Worth it?

The former seems obviously worth it but how about the expansion bundle? Worth it? Ashes of Malmouth: extends the campaign. Only buy after you've beaten the campaign. Crucible: afaik not very good bonus mode Forgotten Gods: side campaign, adds a bunch of other stuff Which is to say, you'll want them all eventually if you love Grim Dawn, but you should start with the base game and see if you will play it more than once.

Depends on how much you want the extra three classes that Ashes of Malmouth and Forgotten Gods get you. The base game is already pretty long and expansive and I've never managed to actually finish it, although that's partly also because it suffers a bit from the same problems I always had with Titan Quest, which it is based on: the abilities it gives you just aren't all that fun to use and the cooldown mechanics keep you from really going hog wild with the handful that are. It's one of those games I want to like a lot more than I really do.

so everyone with Vermintide II got an 80% off coupon for Deathwing, the coop terminator tyrannid fps. It has/had bad reviews but the coupon is for the enhanced edition which is getting better reviews and brings the price down to $8. it also has, thanks to the coupon, enough people playing that multiplayer will probably be active for a good month or so. anyone have any experience with it? is it a decent mediocre coop experience for a little while or not worth $8?

I’ve tried it twice and both times got lost in the super dark first level and gave up. Just play EYE instead.

I’m itching for a sim city, roller coaster tycoon sort of game where you build up a city/amusement park from nothing. I haven’t played one in like 20 years but I just upgraded the crap out of my pc. Edit: google says Cities Skylines but I’ve somehow not heard of it. Is that the one?

EYE was like watching a foreign movie with a hangover and a concussion. It was a one-of-a-kind thing. Rolo posted:I just worked in an edit asking about that! Guess that’s it. Its worth picking up some expansions, too, but I don’t remember which are the must-haves.

They are sizable expansions and definitely worth it if you like the game, but you might want to make sure you like the game first.

Planet Coaster is more of a toy where you design pretty things than any kind of management game. I like it but it's fluff. Parkitect has more crunch to it. e: Strix dang it I'm gonna install a Batman and *play* it this time. ee: also Lego DC Supervillains is on sale again, please buy it people, it's so much fun, I never uninstall it in case I need to go gently caress up Gotham City some more

I would really like an EYE 2 that isn't made in Source, because Source is a horrible engine and everything ever made in it feels floaty as hell and I've kind of gotten used to player movement not feeling like you're zipping around on inline skates.

Is there a good writeup of recommended graphical settings/tweaks for AC: Origins? I have a decently powerful system (i7-6700k, GTX1070, 16gb ram) but I get maybe on average 45FPS in Origins, ~30 in towns and as dumb as it sounds it bums me out enough to not want to keep playing it.
