Alien Rope Burn posted:I always liked it's rock-paper-scissors style mindgames (strikes beat throws, throws beat counters, counters beat strikes), but if you didn't like the Xbox version (which would have been Dead or Alive 2, most likely), it's not like the game has massively evolved beyond adding characters and flashy effects like kicking people down staircases and the like. This is basically all you need to know, but some words since I'm a sort-of fan. DOA has basically not evolved since 2 on Xbox. For everyone who screams that some version was better or worse (see thread), you'll find plenty of people who make the same claims about some other version. You should give one of games 2-5 a chance and then you'll know what this DoA thing is about. DOA is friendly to people who mash buttons, but it isn't a button-masher. I am not a fighting game person, I absolutely hate "competitive" fighting crap, but when challenged by someone screaming "button-masher" I have on occasion taken to beating them mercilessly. I may have even let them pick whether I would do it with counters, strikes, or throws. As it's not the deepest game in the world even a filthy casual like myself can learn a good portion of the moves. I think Soulcalibur is a good comparison here, you can forgive someone for thinking it's a button-mashing game until they come up with someone who knows the game, and then the beating is shameful. But DOA isn't "tournament-worthy". Personally I don't care, but MLG pr0 360 n0sc0pe people say this is a big deal. IIRC, Soulcalibur continues up the ladder thanks to stance-juggling and other bullshit whatever. So DOA is kind of simplistic, but still in a good arcade way. Yes, there are boobs and you can throw people off buildings. Also there's usually a demon. Press the buttons, see the boobies, it's fun. If it comes to Steam I'll probably wait for a flash sale but I'll get it sometime.

I played the hell out of DOA 3 and then forgot about the series. I loved that game though, so I'm stoked to try this new one out.

It's also pretty much just a camp, rather than being a depiction of the Holocaust. That's all done and dusted by the Wolfenstein point. Ragequit posted:Thanks for the heads up on the GOG sale.

Papercut posted:Is this a game about inventory management? Like 90% of the stream has been moving things back and forth between two clipboards. Yeah, it's a State of Decay style game that focuses largely on the rebuilding/people aspect, not the fighting. Decided to take a break after 30 minutes due to wanting to save more stuff for later. Obviously a lot of depth/cool stuff in there. Looks like what you can build is dependent on your mechanical skill, making that important. Unfortunately, doesn't seem like you can really make a nonfighter PC, since you can't send people off on scavenging runs without you being there. A bit bummed out by that, especially since my PC had no melee skill at all, so every zombie I met dragged me down and killed me. Austin seems to be the endgame, judging by the "You need a full party to enter the town" prompts I saw in the outskirts. Wouldn't let me enter with only 3 people, so I suppose a full party is a bit bigger. Judging from what I saw, it seems a totally competent/fun RPG if you like that style of game. Bit janky/rough around the edges, but that's to be expected on the budget they had.

It's one of the big benefits of being a publisher/developer who truly owns their intellectual property and can do with it whatever they want, even denouncing it if the previous copyright holders (Interplay I think) farmed a sequel out to some small out-of-house development team and the end result was awful.

If you already own the Carmageddon Reincarnation EA game, you're supposed to have Carmageddon TDR 2000 automatically added to your games list for free. I restarted Steam and still don't see it, so there might be a delay. If I go to the store page, it still shows I have to buy it.

Admittedly, as with Kragger99 I haven't got my copy via Reincarnation yet, but I'm not going to complain too loudly over a free game.

Deponia is fun, Chaos on Deponia is pretty good, Goodbye Deponia is absolutely wretched. Journey of a Roach is a fun little game, it only lasts three hours though but it has pretty good, albeit easy puzzle design. A New Beginning is a pretty garbage sci-fi story, The Whispered World is supposed to be pretty good, and Harvey's New Eyes is horribly hosed up and you may or may not really like it, though it has a very sudden ending.

lordfrikk posted:Is Reincarnation shaping up to be finished anytime soon? I'll definitely pick it up but not while it's in EA. Long story short, right now they're pretty much finalizing and optimizing the engine, which means while there's huge upgrades in terms of performance and it being a finished game, it sort of means they're further back in the actual 'full game' aspect than they were when they had a half-done engine but mostly finished assets since they have to rework what they've already got with the finished engine.

The Colonel posted:Deponia is fun, Deponia, I thought, was alright, but had no idea how to pace itself. There's that point midway where it just vomits about four or five series of puzzles on you without much focus. The art style is probably the best thing, it really feels like those classic Lucasarts adventures graphically, but the humor is *handwaggle* since the main character is mostly just a creepy little poo poo. The artist is pretty great, tho.

habanero walrus posted:So this week's weekend deal is a sale on Daedalic's catalogue? Any gems in here worth picking up? Edna and Harvey: The Breakout is cool if you can deal with a more old-schoolish adventure game. It can be a bit unstable and you need to find the user fix to not have the game display the ending text in German and to potentially not gently caress you over on a late game puzzle, but it has an absolute ton of unique dialogue. You can use all the standard adventure game verbs on anything and get mostly unique responses. If you like that kind of stuff in your adventure games, you'll probably like it. It also really opens up after an hour or so in, which is good and bad. Good in that you have a fairly large area to explore with little hand-holding, bad because it can be a pain to figure out exactly what to do, particularly early on when you might feel overwhelmed with all the stuff to click on.
