err posted:Anyone recently buy any games they regretted? Tell me about them. Synthetik - The UI and controls are a nightmare. There's probably a solid shooter underneath there somewhere, but everything layered on top of the "deep expert balance" is trash. The Witness - Imagine someone who loved Myst as a kid saw the success of The Talos Principle and thought "I can do that!"; but tragically when it came time to QA his puzzles he had already passed out from huffing his own farts from all the terrible pretentious "philosophy" he'd put in. Dead Space - I suspect just because I installed it last year and had no nostalgia for it. It was probably a good game fifteen years ago on a console or something? Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons - A game I was excited for when it was announced, but could never get working until recently. 17 minutes in and I'm already livid at the slow time-wasting pace of the tutorial. Whoops. StarCrawlers - Beautiful presentation masking awful insipid grindy gameplay. Ugh. Dungeons 3 - I made a huge long effort post for the Steam review, but td:dr is that DK1/2 are just better games.

err posted:Anyone recently buy any games they regretted? Tell me about them. Monster Hunter Rise. Going off Monster Hunter World on PC to MHR on Switch is harsh. The only positive I can say about it is that they added a new movement mechanic which is neat, and you can now have a dog and a cat, and you can ride the dog around. That's it. The hub and the levels are very small and lack in detail. The levels are more vertically open but they pale in comparison to something like the Ancient Forest from MHW. It feels like a step back in every aspect and not enough new stuff. Surviving Mars: its too slow and nothing much happens. The mechanics are boring. lordfrikk fucked around with this message at 09:29 on Apr 13, 2021 |

I only played Dead Space for the first time a few years ago, and felt it mostly still held up. Maybe a bit too long, but it's a very atmospheric survival horror.

FutureCop posted:Quick sanity check: is it normal to get addicted to Elex? (that is the game, not the drug) Piranha Bytes makes one really interesting RPG over and over again. Three factions, a hand crafted world that feels extremely believable, enemies that look as dangerous as they are. They typically put in choke points that gate off areas with stronger enemies, but they deliberately leave ways for players to bypass their gates. The maps in their earlier titles were made from actual physical model sets iirc. They have some downright inspired level design at times. The start of Risen 1 is absolutely perfect with its use of verticality.

After playing a decent amount of Evil Genius 2, yea its basically the origonal game with better graphics and some systems a bit easier to use. It still is really hard to manage your heat level and not being under constant assault, but its no worse than the first game. Passive income is pretty good as well. It does lack the one thing I loooooooved about the first game, the loot. You could go on capers to steal a giant diamond or a space suit or a big dish and you're scientists would look at it and that's how you got cool new tech. Now its just a standard tech tree and it's easier to plan out your tech and you can go for stuff you need, and takes the randomness out of research, but I did find that a lot of fun.

I mostly like Evil Genius 2, but my real bugbears are the T3 research taking waaaay too long to reach, and only being able to do one Side Story at a time rather than one per category. It's still better than the Spacebase Startopia remake by miles at least.

One of my fondest memories of Risen 1 is seeing a farm and thinking the people there would be friendly, maybe offer me some food in exchange for killing monsters, only to get knocked out and conscripted into an order of warrior-monks. I then ended up solving a murder mystery in the monastery by posing as a weed seller.

I'm fairly certain that the farm people let you do some busywork then warn you to not get noticed by the inquisition or you'll get conscripted. You can sneak into the city and enlist properly, which leads you to join the mages, you can get conscripted (no cool magic for you, just chump magic), or you can join the rebels.

From what I've heard, the new GP version of Nier Automata does not fix everything (and FAR modded old Steam version is still better), but if they update the Steam version to match I'm interested in seeing what modders can do with it. I just want a working version out of Microsoft's terrible locked down store. Superanos fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Apr 13, 2021 |

You don’t make a superpowered death dealing genetically engineered warrior monk feel floaty, their guns which fire shells the size of a human head that are designed to detonate upon contact feel tinny and weak, it’s all a massive disappointment. Relic’s Space Marine is much better, as is the wonderful Battlefleet Gothic Armada.

This is a shame and disappointing, I remember first seeing this game and hoping for the best but it is sadly not surprising a game dev team didn't make the effort to learn or understand indigenous representation issues in media and didn't get some kind of historical advisor. Also sad because I play some of their other historical games, and have enjoyed them. Maybe the bad press will pressure them to reach out and make changes and they'll stop digging in their heels  If any goons get tired of playing videogames a good and sad book on native american history is Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown.

StrixNebulosa posted:https://twitter.com/Gaziter/status/1381901438775885830 Was there anything to like before? I was baffled that they seemingly had enough expertise to work on adding multiplayer, yet they couldn't fix the large amount of bugs and technical issues I encountered when I played that game. For many of them I found reports from when the game originally released. Turned out they didn't have the expertise or even basic people skills to make it happen.

Darkrenown posted:I always hoped for a DLC where your corpse got put in a Dreadnaught There was MP DLC that let you do that. Best 40k games are Space Marine, Both Battlefleet Gothic Games though there's no reason to buy the first one, Dawn of War 1 and 2, and Mechanicus. All of those are fine to grab and just start playing except for Mechanicus. It focus on the Tech Priests of Mars and their whole thing is they worship technology and they're up against Necrons, who with the most recently 40k starter release got upgraded to major enemy faction within the story, but it's not super 40k like if that's what you're looking for. Robotmen vs Cyborg Priests. Some I like but have mixed feelings about are Inquistor; Martyr and Gladius. Martyr is a Diablo style game while Gladius is a 4x game.
