Phlegmish posted:Yeah as long as there's plenty of choice, including celibacy, I don't mind the romance thing. I'll probably start out rolling my eyes at the whole thing, and five hours later I'm grinding for whatever inane gift my waifu needs to get the relationship meter up Some of the relationships are amazing just for how hard you can dunk on your romance partner for being a stupid dick at certain points. There's a ton of content, like 3-4x playthroughs can all feel different enough if you go hard in one direction or another with the role playing choices. There are a few categories that see most of the unique content & responses. - Female Dalish Elf Mage: Also includes the romance with the character who will only romance a female elf and no one else (tons of lore content) - Devoutly Religious Qunari: Everyone from the pope down just goes "wait what?" when you proudly proclaim you are the divinely chosen messiah to save the world and get more confused then angry The high points are the world travel banter, which may or may not have been bugfixed in the official version to occur more frequently then once every 8 hours (exaggeration) and the NPC character quests. Oh, and get the mod that completes the war table instantly, the whole "wait 2-8 realtime hrs" is dumb as hell as is most war table missions.

Heartman is chapter 9, right? That's the last normal chapter; from ch10 to the end of the game is 6-8 hours, and you can't really do any normal deliveries in that time. There is free play.

It's a game about the social relationship of Internet Nerds with a thin veneer of space. There's being a peon, and then there's being high level enough to actually interact with the politics and stuff. But very few people get to play that game.

Dragon Age Inquisition has bland gameplay. If you're a CRPG nut maybe it's better on higher difficulties. If you're thinking it's going to be more of an ARPG then you're going to dislike it. There are lots of fun characters to meet and you can get sucked into the lore. Visually, the maps really look good but it's mostly just in service of a collectathon. you'll be pinging the ground alot looking for collectible stuff. It has some good humour in it. The story goes on for ages and it's enjoyable to go along with it. Getting to know the characters and exploring the wilderness is the best part of the game but fighting the same group of monsters from the fade is grating.

Control made a fantastic first impression up until that first boss fight. Why the gently caress make TK the first ability and then set you up against an opponent who's specifically made to dodge it 90% of the time and then randomly eat poo poo to it 10% of the time?

I just built a new PC with an old video card in prep for new video cards later this month. I've got two questions: What are games that generally CPU limited? Besides Flight Simulator, which is already running way better. Is there a way to easily have Steam clean up duplicate installs? I put old hard drives into the new PC and pointed Steam at the folders, but I had already installed a few games on the new PC before doing that, so I may have duplicate installs, but I'm not sure.

There's a specific point where he eats poo poo, I think it's just before he attacks. Took several deaths for me to find this out, though.

That's the exact point I killed him at, actually. Blew off the entire last chunk of his health with one big throw while also being completely baffled as to why it worked that time and not any other time. Talking to a friend and she's saying you can also exhaust his dodges between throwing and shooting enough stuff rapidly that you can then nail him.

Besides Flight Simulator, which is already running way better. Anything else physics based, other example I can think of is pushing Total War game unit caps all the way up if your graphics card can oblige the rendering. As far as pure CPU horsepower goes you're more looking at weird things like Dwarf Fort, or post game Factorio. Or running Football Manager with every league active.

It's not well conveyed either way.GrandpaPants posted:I don't think there's a single game here that anyone is actually like, excited for. Not even a solid indie darling. It wouldn't be a Humble Monthly without someone claiming it has zero good games in it. Impossible Lair is top notch stuff, but does have the downside of previously being an EGS freebie. Forager is an idle-ish game that AFAIK is well-regarded assuming you're into those. Evoland though, I have no idea why the gently caress that's in there. Edit: Oh okay, it's actually a bundled re-release of Evoland 1 and 2. That makes a bit more sense than it being just the first game by itself.

I like it how... No, actually I'm miffed that everyone seems to be ignoring Catherine completely here. I might even progress to disdain if that is not rectified soon. Forager is cool. Golf With Your Friends is cool (friends not included). Impossible Lair is the good one. Plus Catherine. That's enough to make it a keeper, and the rest is a neat bonus.

Forager, Yooka-Laylee, Evoland and Catherine are fairly solid choices here. I haven't heard of the rest, but I guess I'd pick Golf and Lethal League as well going by goon opinions. It's definitely a lot better than the last month.John Murdoch posted:Forager is an idle-ish game that AFAIK is well-regarded assuming you're into those.

I’m pretty sure if you launch a projectile before it actually gets to you he can’t dodge. It definitely works on the regular enemy version of that guy.
