Fallom posted:I'm not sure there is a decent defense for the way Rockstar does it, in particular, because plenty of games make an effort to have your character feel grounded without feeling as bizarre as RDR 2. Yeah, in Witcher 3 they added an optional movement mode in a patch which cuts down on the "tank feel" physics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52arfcOeWl4

Look Sir Droids posted:I’ll be getting in to GTA5 bc EGS finally offered something I couldn’t pass up to bother with their launcher. Is the PC port okay? I'm a big fan of the LSPDFR mod. Basically, it's a fully fledged police sim, letting you do anything from traffic cop to stopping bank heists. Kinda like LA Noir's side missions.

Cardiovorax posted:Yeah, I'd also put it down to the art style. It's not quite as cartoony as Warcraft 3 or cell-shaded in the style of games like Okami, but it's visibly not aiming for realism as far as the technology of the time allowed it, so it ages better in comparison to games that do. ShootaBoy posted:A cartoony art style done well will always age better than trying to push the envelope of "realistic" style graphics. Well, gosh darn. I'm impressed. - I thought everyone that wanted it already owned GTA5 at this point. Now if it were RDR2. hooooooo boooooooy

The Terraria devs dropped the final content update change log in preparation for release in 2 days. All 40 pages (with a nice table of contents and plenty of images) can be found here: https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/there-back-again-a-summary-of-journeys-end.87997/ Simply calling it an update is not quite fair...it's an absurd amount of QOL changes, balances, and new modes. Here is a high level summary:

Never really got into Civ back into the day, but I've been playing VI lately and enjoying it and it's kind of made me curious about something a little more complicated. I'm down with a space setting and both Stellaris and Age of Wonders: Planetfall are both on sale right now, and I guess thanks to the EGS $10 off coupon, Old World is sort of "on sale" too. Any of these worth looking into? I also own Endless Space 2 but never really gave it a fair shot; should I just try and get into that instead?

ES2 is totally worth giving a fair shot. Its faults lie mostly with experienced players knowing how to clown on the AI (even on max difficulty) ruining replayability. Until then it's a great title with each race playing differently. I'd avoid Stellaris. It sells itself much better than the actual time-spent-playing is like (which is mostly tedius busywork), and for the past few years has had serious bugs and performance issues, this includes yesterday's patch. I've not touched Planetfall due to being leery of Paradox titles, someone else can chime in if it's worth the money.

Oldstench posted:Since we're talking about the EGS sale in here, let me ask you if Control is worth $20? Oh yeah. Had a couple gripes with it, like some unnecessary RPG elements that can mostly be ignored by just equipping whatever has the highest number on it, but it's solid. Gorgeous graphics that scale really well even on my 1060, cool setting if you're into conspiracy theories and secret government blacksites, and while the combat isn't particularly deep the game eventually opens up enough tools that you have a load of different ways to keep things fun. I was skeptical going in but really really enjoyed it.

I'll boot it up again tonight -- the races are absolutely what makes it stand out to me, I'm a sucker for interesting asymmetric design. Did some more research on Stellaris and it's probably not for me, but would love to hear from anyone who's played Planetfall. Also still curious about Old World though and wondering exactly how "early access" it feels right now. A civ-like with leaders that live and die with Crusader Kings style storytelling and heirs and poo poo almost sounds too good to be true

Nthing Control, get it on sale now because for $30 ($20?) it's a steal. I think it drags in the latter third or so of the game personally but I loved everything about the setting, story, and gameplay.

Planetfall is an extremely good game but it's much, much more combat focused than Civ and not necessarily more complex. The strategy layer is pretty much just there to fuel your armies that fight in X-COM-esque tactical fights. Units are very customizable and the races are all very unique though, so it's not a simple game either. If that sounds like something you're interested in, I can't really recommend the game enough.

Huntdown came out a few days ago on the epic store (next year on steam), you can get it for $10 with the coupon. It's got a real Apogee shareware look to it but it actually reminds me just a little bit of incredible arcade game Elevator Action Returns. Lots of stages, fun bosses at the end of each, decently tough if you turn the difficulty up. I like it a lot.

For what it's worth, GTAV requires the Rock Star Social Club app no matter what platform you buy it from, and I'm pretty sure you can install and run it from there too so you can skip the epic game store once you've got the game.

I bought Age of Wonders Planetfall and I'm honestly pretty bummed out that there are 3 sets of customization options that were only given out to newsletter subscribers during the pre-order period. The old-timey astronaut set from it looked great and there's no way to get them now other than pirating the game. Games shouldn't do that. Give my utterly inconsequential costumes

Rebel Blob posted:[*]Too faithful to annoying PnP rules. Near the end of the game it starts tossing attribute-damaging enemies at you. What spell clears up the diseases they give you? Restoration? No. Cleanse? No. Cure? No, that is for the generic "disease" status only. You specifically need Heal, what a needless pain in the rear end.[/list] You are forgetting the permanent attribute damage trash enemies during that extremely deep dungeon below the large tree while you may or may not even have a cleric in your party. That's at least a dozen encounters of trash mobs that you still have to manually play and usually at least one party member takes a hit and suffers attribute damage. At level 2-3. gently caress this game, seriously. At that point a real GM would have been given a wedgie and the group dissolved.

Control is a ton of fun, just don't play it like a boring cover shooter, hiding behind corners while your sniper ammo recharges. Get in there and gently caress poo poo up. Take full advantage of the fact that enemies drop health as you damage them.

Ragequit posted:Looks like the Epic store is finally up again. Journey to the Savage Planet for $8 after coupon caught my eye. Looks like a fun explore and unlock the planet type game with some weird humor. Anyone here give it a shot and can comment? It's good, I think fully worth $8. Don't expect too much of it though, I found it doesn't quite hold up to it's marketing. The humor comes as kinda forced, and mostly snappy comments from an A.I. voice that has been so badly altered that it annoyed my ears too much and I had to turn it all the way down. As typical for that genre there is a lot of backtracking, but there is no map and it can feel repetive for certain secondary tasks. I personally found it a lot less rewarding getting somewhere with a new power as in other games of this genre. There usually are only the same updates that improve health and stamina. The environment however is stunningly well crafted, the alien life are refreshing mostly and the gameplay is mostly fluid, plays ok with a controller too.

K8.0 posted:Maybe that picture isn't representative, but my immediate reaction is that anyone who finds that to be "sexualized" is probably a pedophile and needs to get help before they start raping kids. Actually loving gross. This post is not great. I get what you are saying (I have not played the game and only seen the picture that was linked) and agree that if they think that is overly sexualised then I cannot see where they are coming from, but do not immediately jump to calling them a paedophile. It is, as has been shown in the forum rules, that we do not just claim people are paedophiles and especially not if they watch anime or play anime games. And also the post that kicked this off from Alamoduh , we have a rule against equating everything anime from being deviant because that is an unfair generalisation that could be levied at more than just anime. I admit I have not played the game and only watched the trailer/seen that picture but I disagree with your assessment as it currently stands. It is very possible I am completely in the wrong and the game actually does get worse, but I would hope that others who are playing it would agree with you to let the thread know. Thank you both.
