This bit is what’s putting me off giving Astrox Imperium a try:quote:You can only control one fleet, and cannot have multiple fleets at once. Your mercenary fleet will always stick with you, and cannot be left behind in a remote sector when active. They will warp with you, and dock with you. That’s just cutting out too much of what I’d want coming from the X series.

I'm giving up on Deadly Premonition. Got to chapter 9 but the crashes were getting more and more common. Totally got my $1 worth though. I'm still interested in the sequel.

that one is a master stroke because the game is in fact both a guerilla war and a gorilla war at the same time.

StrixNebulosa posted:I can't decide what to play again Peaky Blinders is pretty neat and short. The main gimmick (time manipulation) seems a bit confusing at first, but is actually quite simple. It's nothing mind-blowing, but something that's easy to get off your list in 2-3 days. I wouldn't mind to see a sequel with more fleshed out mechanics.

chglcu posted:This bit is what’s putting me off giving Astrox Imperium a try: This is accurate, yeah. You don't send out like, automated miners to go sector mine without you. But you can hire combat, recon, miners, etc. to fly around with you. Which has actually been pretty cool, like I can deck myself out in a combat ship and then if I have a mining mission, hirer a mining fleet member to go mine for me. Or vice versa, I can go mining and have a combat NPC out there to protect me. They do all have auto-settings, so if you set the miners to automine they will go off on their own and mine rocks, but they always stay in the same sector as you. It's much more of an EVE-like than an X3-like. I have been having fun with it, although I kinda broke it on the money side of things pretty quickly. Best thing I found so far, I bought a carrier from the pirate faction and it has fake masts and sails on it:   I dunno, it's simple but pretty fun and relaxing. For nine bucks, I'm happy with it so far. I'm sure I'm going to burn through everything worth doing in it by like the end of the week, but hopefully they'll keep adding more stuff.

StrixNebulosa posted:I can't decide what to play again I'd recommend Omori. I gather it patched one of the common complaints (not being able to skip animations that were slow) and overall it's just a good experience if you're into that kind of RPG about struggling with personal issues. If you know what it is and bought it, you'll probably like it basically.

The US and EU boxes had cooler and significantly more 90s logos than the current digital version:   E: The change might be for readability in tiny thumbnails?

It involves the cult that worships a renamed Slaanesh, and even then its more like shows you the full thing rather than framing all the naughty stuff out of panel. If you're going into it looking for some spank material, yea be ready to be disappointed when a old man cult leader blows you to send you to hell.

Bethesda rereleased the original Fallout games for modern systems awhile ago (maybe around when Fallout 4 came out?) and they run fine with resolution scaling and everything. You can even run them at max resolution so the entire map fits on screen and the interface is microscopic, but I wouldn't recommend it.

StrixNebulosa posted:I picked up Astrox Imperium and it's...the X games, but without the flying. It's a big ol' setup of space stations and sectors and places to mine and fight while you go from one ship to several and level up and get a better ship and stuff. But you do it by clicking on things and letting the autopilot do it. I... kind of love this? I get vertigo fairly easily and haven't clicked with the X games yet because of the flying you have to do in 'em, and here's just a big ol' sandbox for going from zero to flying space magnate. I've literally never played a space game in which my actions weren't directly impacting pitch and yaw. How are these kinds of games to learn to someone who's more action-oriented?

Morter posted:I've literally never played a space game in which my actions weren't directly impacting pitch and yaw. How are these kinds of games to learn to someone who's more action-oriented? The gameplay for these usually revolves mainly around simple buy low sell high economics with a side of click red guys combat. Basic gameplay loop would be fly to rocks shoot them then sell the parts for-profit and from there you build onto better ships and manufacturing facilities and so forth. The building blocks are generally built on the back of what basically amounts to delivery quests or collecting space bear asses and from there it builds incrementally to 80 thousand menu space madness as you manage your burgeoning manufacturing empire. If you can control an rts/play an adventure game and figure out basic algebra it should be pretty easy to pick up Hub Cat fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Apr 19, 2021 |

In the X series at least, imagine playing an RTS where you can eventually teleport into any asset you own to take control directly. In X4 it scales from tiny scout craft to massive capital ships. You don't absolutely have to engage in the empire building mechanics, but you'll eventually be roped into doing them because they make you money. These games tend to be fiddly and frequently very counter intuitive, but you get used to it. And being able to stand on a landing pad of a defense station you built and watch as gigantic turrets activate to shoot down incoming hostiles is pretty rad.

What games should I play if I really liked Raging Loop and 999? I've played 999 which has more gameplay but was also great. I've yet to play the rest of the trilogy. I'm playing Gnosia but that one seems to be leaning too heavily into the actual whoddunit gameplay for me so far so I'd say it should have more story than that. Speaking of Raging Loop , I've finished it over the last week and I loved it. Decent to great art, moody music and the characters I thought were enjoyably written. I thought the ending was just OK, though.
