I took the plunge and bought Bingo McFlingo's Runtime Funtime ((((my name for running with rifles))) and can highly recommend Bingo McFlingo's Runtime Funtime ((runing with rifles)) as it's just good simple Candle Fan ((((/my name for Cannon Fodder)/)) fun. I've not played a Barney Bang Bang ((battlefield but my cool new name for it it'll catch on!!!) game for a long time but it gives me some really good vibes despite the simple gameplay

I like Sundered a whole lot and recommend people maybe check out some gameplay before writing it off as "loving awful" and "Castlevania but all the enemies are respawning Medusa Heads". Here's the Giant Bomb quick look: https://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-sundered/2300-12408/ I haven't watched the whole video, but it seems like an okay way to get an overview of the game mechanics. it's also not too heavy on spoilers but I recommed stopping when they get to the boss at least. The "horde" mechanic is definitely a thing, but it's not like it's an endless stream of monsters being thrown at you the moment you step out of the Sanctuary. Seems more like waves in Risk of Rain (though I haven't played a lot of RoR so I could be wrong) and there are plenty rooms where monsters just straight up won't spawn. I think the combat is really fun (if a bit simple) and the atmosphere and world builing is really good. I think the death mechanics are solid, the upgrade tree is fun (speaking of Path of Exile  ) and the procedural level generation is just fine. I don't think it's a game for everyone and thats okay, you can always just refund it if it's not your thing. According to the devs on the steam forums the "horde" mechanic really kicks in after about an hour, which should leave plenty of time to decide one way or the other. Basically I'd just hate to see this game suffer the fate of Rain World which is also a really really good game that deserves much better than the incredibly weak response it got.

Xander77 posted:B-but... you still get to climb caveman towers to light beacons or something, right? I can no longer imagine a proper FC experience without that very important and rewarding activity. There are no towers. You find poo poo by exploring. If I remember right, most side stuff gets popped up when you capture the outpost. There are bonfires, but those are more fast travel spots/places to survive the nights at. You get the weird pan around camera thing when you light them, but nothing is revealed nearby, you just can hide from the MANY SABERTOOTH TIGERS that are probably in the woods nearby.

Kai Tave posted:I mean they're both good games but if you don't have a particular leaning in any given direction based on previous experiences with similar titles then it depends on whether you're in the mood for A). a turn based small unit tactics game with an emphasis on cover and flanking or B). an atmospheric horror FPS with an emphasis on exploration.

Does anyone know if 2game.com are legit? They currently have the best deal on The Sexy Brutale and it looks all right but I'd like a second or third opinion before buying so my vidya gamez money doesn't go to the russian mob or central american crime cartels.

It's far more interesting (and legible) than running with rifles ever was but you do need friends/being social and joining a guild. Plenty of sweet youtube videos old and new too, to see if the gameplay catches your attention. Det_no posted:Not only is RWR grindy for no reason but even when it's supposed to be good it never really works because the AI is loving terrible. It's particularly awful in a game like that because you are supposed to be a generic grunt yet you'll have to do all the heavy lifting to complete maps, gets really boring and samey a few hours in. Your best bet at fun is multiplayer but not only is there less than a hundred active players (a pretty entrenched and poo poo community at that) but the playerbase will split once the dev releases their ill-conceived, standalone WW2 version based on a mod.

I played with buds so don't really know for sure but all the big clans were known for taking the game seriously, kinda like ARMA clans (there's even a couple full roleplaying clans and poo poo.) The official discord had a clan recruiting channel last time I checked, I'm sure there's probably a few new ones.

Thats nice to hear, looks like a cool game to pick up in a sale. If you are expecting some world class Metroidvania this is not it which is fine I suppose when there are games like Hollow Knight.

Yeah eventually on the normal difficulty in Prey I was basically an invincible, invisible shotgun God and it felt great. As for the Nightmare, he always shows up in the Arboretum but the more alien mods you inject the higher chance he has of randomly spawning elsewhere too and that's a pretty tense and cool thing.

This thing about RWR being grindy is fixed by hosting a server and setting the options so you're already half-way through the ranks so a bunch of AI will follow you.  Maybe set it so you have a bunch of points too if you want to play with extra toys.

I just finished Sniper Elite 4 after getting it during the sale and it was a thoroughly enjoyable 30 hours. I got the Hitler DLC too and that is always satisfying. I only played on Marksman difficulty (equivalent of normal, the default difficulty) and am moving on to some new stuff but I am really looking forward to trying sniper elite/authentic difficulty at some point, probably not until I buy a new pc early next year. I love going slow and methodical through games and tend toward a sniper/assassin class when given a choice (in something like Skyrim/FNV), so this was extremely my poo poo. Very satisfying and I'm sure it's even more so on authentic difficulty. Moving on to Total War: Shogun 2 tonight and all day tomorrow. Anyone have any tips?

You can pump that poo poo so high you have a decent-sized squad in like 5 minutes.

Scott Forstall posted:Moving on to Total War: Shogun 2 tonight and all day tomorrow. Anyone have any tips? Play as the Shimazu or the Chosokabe. You won't have time to research every last tech, so prioritise. You can theoretically make armies of pure samurai, but it's a poor use of money, better to mix them with ashigaru. Don't use one general for everything unless he's you, or your son, or else his loyalty stat will eventually plummet. Avoid fighting naval battles manually, they're terrible. Finally, once you hit a certain amount of territory (or take Kyoto), you will receive a huge diplo penalty that will quickly cause every faction in the game to attack you, including your vassals, so don't make vassals you're not willing to fight later. Any vassals you make AFTER taking Kyoto are fine.

A barn is actually 10^-28 m^2 which is really small, like the size of a nucleus, so it's pretty hard to hit a barn assuming it's some distance away e: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barn_(unit) QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Jul 30, 2017 |
