Re: The Flame in the FloodCall Your Grandma posted:Do yourself a favour and ensure the permadeath mode is off. The core mechanics and presentation are great but the content doesn't expand a whole lot from after your first hour or so. The game does becomes rather easy after the first couple hours. So I think it’s better to die a couple times in the beginning to experience at least some sort of survival story. I like how you keep the items your dog is carrying and so you can give your next character a headstart. Just having a couple of empty jars at the start is great.

Makes me glad I crashed my boat on purpose on my first game about 2 miles down the river and then died of sepsis in the second game around the same area in my second game. I don't even think hardcore mode is on.

Sort of a real-time X-COM? Looks a little janky. https://store.steampowered.com/app/979640/Cepheus_Protocol/

The kickstarter for the Escape Velocity Override remaster is finally 100% funded. Phew. I was worried when I first saw it.

Hwurmp posted:I only just noticed Velocity Ultra is on Steam, and currently on sale for $1.39. Ultra and its sequel were two of my favorite games on the PSVita; I couldn't say how well the touchscreen controls would translate to a gamepad or mouse & keyboard, but if "puzzle game disguised as a high-speed shmup" sounds interesting definitely give it a look. This was sitting in my backlog, so I gave it a try, and I'm pretty pleased with it. I think for under $2 this is definitely worth it.

Anyone have some newer multiplayer Tower Defense recs? I have some from years ago (Defense Grid, Sanctum, Dungeon Defenders) but It seems like they really died off after that little surge. Preferably something that allows you to maze instead of predefined routes, but I'm open to whatever. VS mode would be fun too. I would just go back to WC3 customs but, well, you know.

I decided to try out that Lodoss War Deedlit metroidvania that's in early access and it's fun. It's got great art/animations, the bow stuff is fun, and the main differentiator is an ikaruga type system. The only issue is it's short so far, it's just the first level but they're planning release this year with 6 stages. For ten bucks I think it's worth a flier, and it's currently short enough you can finish it before the return period.

Don't get your hopes up of it coming out this year. The Dev's haven't been able to make any progress on the game while locked down in Japan with COV-19.

Set up a maze with turrets and walls! Curse when enemies get through and cut your conveyor lines! Argue about how to set up the best silicon factory. Not a one to one matchup to the examples you gave. But it is fun and cheap. Unfortunately the PvP usually devolves into having all your stuff surrounded by enemy conveyor belts.

My one complaint with Mindustry is that flying bosses are some BS that will merrily fly around all your defenses and cut off some critical belt infrastructure

Saints Row the 3rd fan here. Anyone who is also a fan, buy and play the remaster? It's $30 currently at Epic, due to the sale, and I am considering it, but the price even with discount seems a bit steep for a remaster. Note: this isn't a call for opinions on how SR3 sucks anyways. I liked it a lot, and am interested in the remaster. Especially if they've fixed the co-op play, because I could never get the 3rd one to work in order to play it through with my wife. thanks in advance

I don’t know about the multiplayer but digital foundry did a YouTube video on it and as absolutely gushing with praise for the quality of the remaster, saying it was closer to a full graphical remake rather than just a simple upscale. So impressed they were theorising there’s another saints row on the way. If you liked it may be worth it

I assume the original PC version looks much like the PS3 version, only with more FPS, and maybe a bit sharper textures. The remastered version seems to have gotten a lot of graphics overhauls, so it would definitely be an improvement on PC too. But I'm pretty sure it's not worth $30 of improvements, and since it's Epic exclusive there's no chance of getting a loyalty discount for owning the original.

Or you could just loving look with your eyeballs and see that it's most definitely way better than the PC version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ2Us_C1FTE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNhwSnDdvRM Whether you want to play SR3 again or not they put a frankly absurd amount of work into it.

Saints Row 3 still at least has the occasional gut punch and strong story beat, though 2 did a fantastic job of making you give a poo poo about your lieutenants, the enemy gang leaders and their families. I don't recall much happening with the drug guys, but the Ronin and Brotherhood mission chains were fantastic.

That "drug guys" mission chain was like "we ran out of money" and the boss no longer had a voice at the end.

sr3 was a slave to the expectations of volition's suits as the company circled the drain and suffered because of it, the content quickly wears thin and the sudden changes in tone and characterization compared to sr2 give you whiplash the fourth game just went all-in on the wackiness, which is still inferior to 2 but at least doesn't have the identity crisis of 3

Halo MCC: I had heard when it first rolled out PC that there were some issues with Reach and since have heard generalities about it being buggy as 1/2 came out. Anyone have a feel for the current state of the game if you're primarily interested in playing the campaigns in coop?
