Best thing about these kinds of games is just taking your time to pick it clean and explore and poo poo. If Mooncrash didn't let you break the timer I would not have enjoyed it I don't think. I hate timers too but according to this, "you're not on a timer"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7A-xbYoqlY&t=50s quote:What is DEATHLOOP?

Pookah posted:I will never play a game that puts me under timer stress constantly, no goddamn way. I like to potter about and find interesting junk in corners. Outer Wilds is probably the most obvious example of a strict timer (23 minutes?) in a modern game I can think of, and that game is literally about nothing else aside from puttering about finding interesting junk in corners. Just saying these two things are not incompatible.

If you bounced off of Bioshock 2, give the Minerva's Den DLC a try before you move on completely. It's a short, self-contained and poignant story that condenses all the best parts of Bioshock 2 into only a few hours of gameplay. And 2 has the best gameplay of the entire Bioshock series.

I'm imagining that all of the targets continue to go about their daily routine if you miss them, so that you can keep going the next day, but if you want you can restart as well. or keep trying until you are killed. That'd be a 'not a timer' timer on the whole thing.

From the way they’re describing it it sounds like the game works on a level select system. Each loop you have a limited amount of “levels” you can play, and you can do things in one level that influences the behavior of your targets in other levels. The way to “beat” the game will be to find the right combination of level/time of day to successfully kill every target.

Death Loop looks fantastic.

Thanks for the recommend  On reflection, I think I was just a bit burned out on the whole Bioshock atmosphere/style. I'll definitely be coming back to it after a break.Just replayed Mass Effect pretty completely, largely just to make sure my carryover character would be decent. ME was still fun, though there are definitely a good many flaws. I'm about 4 hours into ME 2 and am enjoying it muchly. Its similar to the first to feel like a continuous theme but different enough to be interesting.

I did not know that, but it's fine - as I said, I've been out of gaming for so long that even PS3 games look very shiny and good to me  . I'm loving ME2 so far - the gameplay is suprisingly varied, as are the team members. Currently I'm sticking with Katsumi for sneak kills, and Jack for flinging off cliff kills. I'm sniping everything in sight, it's great. I'm back on PS3 since my brother took the controller to bits and fixed the problem - it was the thing with the little black foam strip getting too thin to prevent ghost button presses.

I've decided to replay Prey and knock out a few remaining achievements before Deathloop gets released, does anyone have tips for a no neuromod run? I'm not looking forward to the limited inventory space, but it might keep the survival horror atmosphere going for longer.

Grenades are your friend. The wrench knockdown chip for the scanner is really good - you often knock a phantom or mimic silly when it rushes you, and that makes a big difference. Sneak everywhere. Recycle everything you don't need and carry around a fuckton of consumables. Oh, and set up a turret or two in high-traffic areas that you'll be passing through often. Turrets are really good time- and life-savers early on.

Turrets are great  You can take down a Nightmare with just a few well-placed turrets. Edit: Thinking about replaying the game with these: https://www.nexusmods.com/prey2017/mods/16, https://www.nexusmods.com/prey2017/mods/55 itry fucked around with this message at 12:06 on Mar 27, 2021 |

Getting the upgrade to your jetpack the first time you exit the station is also an excellent time investment for a No Neuromods run; between a fully upgraded jet pack and GLOO, you can just platform above and entirely avoid all the baddies in many areas. You can get the upgrade floating waaay out in space the first time you go to Hardware too, which makes some areas like the Power Plant and Life Support far easier to get through. No Neuromods taught me the important lesson of looking up!

I usually don't like to sequence-break, but I'll make an exception for the no neuromods run. I also plan to use a ton of lures and recycle grenades.

Wen you say sequence-break, do you mean like using Gloo to glitch-clip your way through the elevator in lobby, or do you mean just getting a lot of vertical movement to avoid areas? Because I'm pretty sure the devs explicitly designed for the latter, while for the former you might as well get one of those all-achievement script thingies.

Angry Diplomat posted:Wait, there are clipping exploits in this game? I feel like it has been patched and you need to find a 1.0 exe to do it (might be wrong), but you can stick two gloo glops on a wall above each other in such a way that the climbing animation onto the lower one helps the top one shove you through walls and out of bounds. The same exe allows you to stick gloo onto doors and use recycler grenades to displace them.

Nah, I'm talking about getting the ARTX v2 chipset off Grant Lockwood's body in the first place. It's so far out that you wouldn't find it by normal exploration, but to activate his tracking bracelet you need to reach Deep Storage and advance the plot there to progress. The way I normally play, I'd have already cleared 90% of the station by then.

Immersive sims are 100% designed to let you take advantage of prior knowledge or just thorough exploration. Otherwise they'd have put an artificial gate in front of it.

Really torn on Death Loop. Shooting people sucks, I'm not a monster. AFAIK there's no monsters to shoot and there's no way to don't shoot the people, the whole point seems to be "definitely shoot the people and do it in a crazy way." However all of their game's have been pretty drat good so far, Prey and Mooncrash are both "still talk about 10 years later" games. They really not gonna throw us a non-lethal button and a super-wrench? Alternatively I would accept a way to kill all targets in such a way as to avoid any direct responsibility, there's no crime in knocking over a domino that ends up being in a rube goldberg contraption where someone accidentally drops a piano on someone's head
