I definitely log onto EGS every week to get those free games so at least some part of their business strategy seems to be working

Oh man, this is the worst idea I've ever seen: https://www.pcgamer.com/the-culling-is-making-an-unexpected-return-with-a-baffling-business-model/quote:First off, you'll have to buy yourself a copy, unless you bought the original or played it when it was F2P. And that initial purchase will only get you so far. You'll be able to play one match every day, but to play more you'll have to spend tokens. Packs of tokens require yet more purchases, or you can shell out for online passes that last for either seven days or a month. It's ridiculous.

Those prices are baffling. You can spend a dollar to get 3 tokens to play 3 matches. Or you can pay 2 for unlimited play for a full week. For a dollar more then the 20 token price, you can get a full month of unlimited play. E: Why would you ever buy the 10 tokens when you can save a dollar and buy the 7 day pass.

Zeta Acosta posted:hows pathfinder:kingmaker? The Story is laughably bad and it's a D&D game. Well, Pathfinder, but that's way too much D&D. They learned absolutely nothing from RPGs post-BG2 and it shows. The game inherited all the weaknesses of BG. It's okay if you like D&D with a GM who thinks an endless dungeon of permanent stat debuff fodder encounters is the height of game design. But honestly, it's the story I find the most galling. It's so embarassingly cliche I barely made it through the tutorial. [/rant]

Maybe it is a protest. By rolling out this absurd pricing scheme on a game that is almost certain to fail, they're lessening the odds of anyone ever trying it on a game that people may actually want to play

The entire mordor spider discussion reminded me very much of that Sarkeesian stereotype video of women in games (or media). I think that one had the most impact for me because its one of the more prominent dumb tropes I never though about before. I played the game the other day for the first time just before the discussion ITT and that though was the first that crossed my mind. It really is just a sexist trope carried throughout the ages.

There are a handful of some truly tedious, terrible fights in Act 4 and that includes the final boss fight. (Divinity Original Sin 2) I'm very upset with this game. Here I was, enjoying 97% of DOS2, then all this happens in the final stretch. Edit: Whew, finally beat the game. What a relief. It only took 100 hours.

If you kill the final boss first all of his summons despawn, so the easiest way to beat the encounter is to immediately yoink him into your melee line and wail on him for dear life.

I ended up abusing the AI by slapping Ruptured Tendons on Vredeman immediately, KO-ing Dallis to trigger Phase 2, and then letting Lucian with his surviving party members battle a severely injured V-man before destroying everyone with a Thunderstorm. It only took 3 or 4 tries and 2 hours.  And this was on the one-star difficulty, Explorer.

I agree that most of that bundle is middling to filler trash that i guarantee most people here will never ever play (the only standout one is Hotline Miami which is regularly 99 cents these days); however, Hypnospace is $20 on Steam (no-sale) and $15 through the bundle so that's still a good deal Everyone should play Hypnospace Outlaw though, it's absolutely ungodly phenomenal and would have been GOTY in 2019 if not for Disco Elysium & Outer Wilds (the good indie game, not the garbage obsidian game). Just really such an absolutely amazing feels game, and it doesn't even just lean on nostalgia for 'haha remember that time when...', like it's actually a fun social-engineering and puzzle game and meat behind it.

Dustforce is no slouch. It’s a cool game, with an unusual combo of a very chill vibe with a fairly demanding platforming perfectionist challenge.
