Marvel X-COM could be cool as gently caress but I'd want them to focus on just a few characters and make them really unique. Instead of Hulk being "A Melee Guy" have Hulk gain a damage and movement increase every time he gets hit by an attack because it makes him angry. You can attack Hulk yourself to buff him but he also has a chance to go Berseker Mode and attack random targets. Also Hawkeye should instantly die if he gets hit by an attack but you get more financial support because he has a sponsorship deal with Red Bull.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1374840/Dark_Deity/ Saw an ad for this game, it's heavily inspired by gba fire emblem sprite-wise but I feel like there is something off comparing the sprites to the character artwork and the UI in general.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdRc78LuqPQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEoW2Ud_1P4

tithin posted:So I'm watching a twitch stream from this dude and it looks sick as gently caress I bought it and am playing it now and it's pretty fun. Only complaint is it's one of those Hades-deals where there's a TON of meta-progression, except just due to the structure of the game there's no way I don't think you could possibly win on your first run just based on your gameplay skills. Like, the second meta-upgrade you get from killing enemies makes it so every character gets +1 attacks per turn, which is very very very good! so be aware that you're going to be forced to play through at least one or two completely doomed runs where you're just farming meta-progression items

I guess it just needs more animation and detail period but I'm glad someone is at least trying since FE sure isn't

Actually talking about the best ways to handle meta-progression and gameplay is making me think about another game I've been playing a TON of recently which is Dungeon Maker. It's incredibly good. Basically, it's a Dungeon Defense game. Simple version is that there's two kinda of rooms, trap rooms and combat rooms, and you place them on a grid to defend your leader. The cool thing about it is that it's one of the most mechanically dense games I've ever seen. There's like 200 different kinds of rooms and 140+ monsters and a bazillion skills and status ailments and there's eight different leaders with different skills. You can fuse monsters and rooms to create better monsters and rooms, you can capture enemies, convert monsters or converted enemies into skill orbs and equip them onto your monsters. My first playthrough on Normal mode I decided to marathon to day 300 for maximum achievements, because each achievement gives you +10 gems, which you need for meta-progression items. A single purchase of a basic meta-item costs 10 gems, so one free item per achievement. I'm looking for two specific items from my packs - auto-skills (meaning I don't have to tap the screen to cast spells during battle, and the 3x game speed option. I get to day 300 very easily, and score 174,000 points, which gives me another free 50 gems. I do not roll either thing I want, but I do get a facility succession and two monster successions. This means I can bring one room and two monsters from my run I just had and take them into my next run, and I can do that after every run. I take my gigantify (one monster instead of three, but bonus stats) and two high-level monsters, start a new run on Hard. On Hard I decide to cash out on day 100. Just before the final floor, I spend all my cash on facilities to try and find two more Gigantify, and fuse them together to make Three Giganteers (three monsters, all with boosted stats). No amazing monsters this run though. I score four million points which results in 500 gems. Next run I go to the next highest difficulty available, Trial 2. I know 3Giants will carry me for a ways, but I want to keep upgrading my traps for subsequent runs. I eventually manage to fuse up a Meteor trap, which does a ton of damage to slowed enemies, but also inflicts Burn. Another fairly easy run just due to my game knowledge, cash out at day 100, get 200,000,000 points, 2000 gems. I outright buy two complete upgrade packs so I have max unit and facility succession. Next run I put my plan into action. I pick the fire-based leader who casts Living Bomb, which causes enemies to explode and do damage to them based on their burn stacks. I choose a unique dungeon layout which causes enemies to take double damage, but their attack speed multiplies for every two seconds they live. This dungeon only has one enterance though, so I drop an Ice Pit (damage + slow) and Meteor behind it (Double damage against slowed enemies, causes Burn) and will attack every enemy on screen with my leader which causes damage based on the amount of burn damage. Now, there's also, in addition to difficulty levels, unique difficulty modifiers you can tweak for additional score multiplier. I max out the number of enemies who enter the dungeon, max out the enemy attack speed, maximize the amount of EXP my monsters need to level up, select a modifier so I get less rewards, and one that makes my monsters have a fixed attack speed. None of these matter since all enemies die instantly when entering my dungeon because of my setup. The additional enemies also comically offset the less EXP gain, since you get EXP per enemy, so I'm jumping up to level 100 in two battles. All of these modifiers mean I'm getting thousands of additional score multipliers, and when I cash out at Floor 100, I end with a score of 40,000,000,000,000, and I get 5000 gems for meta-upgrades. There are still 12+ difficulty sliders I have not touched and ten more unique modifiers I haven't used. This is a good meta-progression system

The GBA was crazy. A faithful Max Payne port, a good Driver game, a cool FPS based on one one of the worst big budget action films ever made and a rad version of Turok Evolution.

It feels like one of those passion project games where you can look past the flaws because of the charm. I'm honestly happy there are people in this thread who have heard of it let alone played it.

There's one in the security office in the main atrium, I think (it's been ages since I played so I can't remember the names of locations). You need a keypass to get in one door, but there's also a secret path somewhere -- possibly in the toilets? You're very welcome for this half-remembered guidance from my playthrough years ago.

Almost impossible to murder these guys with just a wrench. Had hoped to be able to upgrade it, but nope.

FirstAidKite posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1374840/Dark_Deity/ That character looks to have a pet ferret so she is by default the best character. I've gone back to Darkest Dungeon again because while I've never completed it and I adore everything about it I burn out and get bored before finishing it. Maybe I don't push to do the harder stuff and the darkest dungeon itself and just get bogged down in a loop of levelling up mooks. Ghosts n Goblins Resurrection is also finally out for PC so I know what my plans are for this weekend!

There's something I want to tell you about Prey and Neuromods, but even bringing it up is largely dependent on the kind of gamer you are. This could be a kind of big spoiler, so I have two questions, and I'll spoil each of them, they shouldn't say too much on their own, but Prey is such an amazing experience, I hesitate to ruin even a second of it for anyone How blind do you like to go into games? Are you the kind of person who replays games more then once if they're amazing?
