Gay Rat Wedding posted:I really need to go back and play the talos principle DLC but I heard it’s harder than the base game and feel like I’ll be too dumb to do it now after having not played in years Road to Gehenna is definitely harder, but as an idiot who struggled with games like "Baba is You" after Chapter 5 (Forest) and multiple parts of The Witness, I feel like I was largely able to figure out the game & DLC on my own without hints from the outside world. Maybe it's simply because it's a different kind of puzzle, I'm not sure.

Intergalactic fishing I haven't gotten it but I've been somewhat tempted. I think at least one person got it and posted a report. I like fishing but am not a fisherman I just catch and release brim and bluegills from a lake dock when in vacation but have always been vaguely interested in serious fishing, with all the baits and the like which this game simulates. threelemmings fucked around with this message at 16:17 on May 27, 2020 |

threelemmings posted:Intergalactic fishing So you're tempting them with juicy morsels, giving them pain when they take the bite, then subjecting them to the agony of the surface world before unceremoniously tossing them back. You're either torturing the fish, or breeding a legion of masochists.

StrixNebulosa posted:How does it play? Like, what are the controls and such? There are a lot of things that I haven't tried out yet, such as fly fishing, using boats, ice fishing with a drill and a hole, ground fishing using heavy weights and baits, using multiple rods on tripods etc. It's pretty complex and every time you manage to trick a fish into taking your bait it really feels like a little achievement. It keeps getting easier as I get more skilled at making the right movements and figuring out what kind of combination of technique and bait each fish prefers. It's much more engaging than I would have expected, really.

Cardiovorax posted:Well, it's in 3D first person format to start with. You start in a basic overview screen where you equip various rods, tools and types of bait. You pick then pick a region to fish in and are then presented with the corresponsing open and usually really very nicely modelled map in which you can move around at will. You pick a spot and then manually throw out your lines and drag them back in using the left and right mouse button. Fish will be attracted to your hook based both on the type of bait and equipment you use as well as the technique you use to attract them, such as dragging and stopping, twitching the rod, lifting and dropping, etc. I think I'm actually learning quite a number of real-world fishing techniques here and I'm starting to get interested in trying them out for real at some point. Oh that's real interesting. Would you mind getting into a bit of the 'non-fishing' part of the loop? Is it all just a checkbox with regards to the fish you catch? Is there any amount of grind or milestone (ex: size/weight) that you have to work towards? Etc etc.

Etc etc. There is also a trophy room which will display either your first or your biggest fish of a given species. It's also a 3D map which you can walk through at your leisure, so you get to see them in real size and fully modelled. There's quite a lot to do, really.

Cardiovorax posted:Yes, there is. Fish you catch gives you both money and experience points. Money can be used to buy bait, tools, and more maps to fish on, which will have different fish and different climates. There are numerous types of rods, reels, hooks, lines etc. that you can combine at will and which have different benefits. XP lets you level up and learn various skills, such as the ability to drill ice holes, farther casting distance, or even a "hunter vision" mode that gives you short visual flashes of where the fish are. When you catch a fish, you get the option to either sell it for money or to let it go for bonux XP, but you always get XP regardless. poo poo, that sounds...rather engaging. I'm not sure if I'd like it outside the context of another (usually actiony) game, but I might give it a shot. Lastly, any DLC I should possibly get besides the Deluxe addition? I'm okay with slightly cheaty/more convenient items if it eliminates a bit of grind. And there also appears to be some locations.

There's no particular need for it, though. I haven't gotten to the later stuff like the high sea yacht fishing yet, but even starter fish sell well enough and stuff is generally speaking inexpensive enough that it doesn't feel grindy. Just feel free to enjoy the fishing and get new stuff whenever money piles up high enough.

Borrowed Ladder posted:I played AssCreed 2 and brotherhood back to back and got really burnt out on them years ago. So then there was a sale of all the ones in between then and now, so i bought those, except Origins. Then i bought Odyssey too (on sale). I decided to play Black Flag first, for whatever reason, and i got pretty sick of it after a few hours, it just seemed like basically the same game i remember. I'm thinking of just jumping to Odyssey, is it going to be enough of a progression forward? I went from that to Odyssey and had a surprisingly good time, fully expected to hate it (UPlay had a free trial) but it's a pleasant experience that isn't really anything like the previous games. Less of its own identity, but frankly that identity was fun for maybe two games before it got boring anyway. Odyssey is a cargo cult of various popular games and the UbiSoft mandated mechanics and while it doesn't hit many spectacular highs, it's consistently enjoyable.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Or change the steam controller settings to “forced off”, that usually helps. Steam loves to gently caress with stuff without telling you or letting you opt in/out and the controller settings are the most common way it happens. v1ld posted:Try launching from Big Picture Mode if you haven't? I'm seeing similar issues with AC: Origins which is so finicky about sticking to either controller or keyboard but not both. BPM seems to fix it. I'll try both of these and report back. Thanks! Also, is there a good list somewhere of games that are EGS exclusive? The lists I found are not accurate.

Outer Wilds was my GOTY but its also probably going to be on Steam very soon? I don't know how time works anymore. Shakedown Hawaii was a fun, top-down GTA-like but its most like going to be the same case as well. Untitled Goose Game for very obvious pick, John Wick Hex for the one I always forget to buy.

Honestly, if you're OK with it, I'd try using GOG Galaxy or Playnite. Get games where there's a deal and launch all of them from the same client.

I personally don't like GOG Galaxy a lot. It seems to be very unreliable about when and how many of your games it actually decides to scrape when you have a lot of them and randomly forgets my accounts sometimes. I don't have so many off-Steam games that it has been worth the bother of dealing with that so far.

If you feel like fiddling a bit, you can install and older version of the plugin which just works, mine hasn't logged out of steam since. I'll leave it here just in case anybody is having this issue, got it from here quote:Link to working version (0.46) Then one more step so it doesn't auto-update your plugin (do this after installing the older version). quote:1. Go to the plugin folder
