My name is Rupert and I'm making sure I don't get in any deeper. I have a saving grace, though... I'm on a mac. That didn't stop me, however, from making numerous purchases of PC-only games, thinking that 'I'd get around to them someday'. But they're classics... Deus Ex... Sim City 3-4... I've been wondering when Borderlands: GOTY is going to hit Steam, because I know I'll buy that and never play it. My problem is is that I love to multitask. I'm always chatting with someone, or watching youtube videos, and playing something. A lot of games I love, but they go full-screen, and usually require me to shut down everything else, and I can't keep my focus for long. Godspeed fellow Steamers, especially those with many more games than I.

Good god, ok, nevermind. Also, I definitely got this game as part of one of the first humble bundles, back when they were few and far between. Came with Gish, World of Goo, Braid (maybe?) and probably Crayon Physics. This was back in the day before everyone started porting their games to OS X, and even with the dearth of titles available, I STILL didn't play those games (already played World of Goo on Wii, and Braid on the 360). Man, gently caress Lugaru.

The motion controls have you mimicing the movements you would make to do those things. Yeah, those were great, but because of the system's limitations, cars would literally disappear if you looked away from them.

Good-Natured Filth posted:Beat - Monaco: My friends and I've been co-oping this for a few weeks. It's a pretty fun game if everyone's cooperating. Not sure how it'd be single player, because it gets really challenging towards the end with a definite need for the various class abilities. This is good to hear. I keep jumping into it in single player (haven't organized a multiplayer session yet, no time lately), and while I like it, it doesn't really grab me like I thought it would. Someday, I'll play online. EDIT: Also, is everyone here on Backloggery? I just found out about it because of what you just posted, and now I'm kind of obsessed adding games to the list. I just wish it would auto-detect all of my games by linking in to my Steam account/XBL account. I'm on there as robot_cousin if anyone wants to add me.

It doesn't have as many features as Backloggery, but it looks a lot nicer and you don't have to bother with importing your Steam library (which is the biggest reason why I moved away from Backloggery). Dammit, this site is not co-operating with work, which is weird, since like... nothing is blocked here at all ever.

I used a guide to get everything because hell if I'm going to figure some of that insane poo poo out on my own. To be fair, figuring out Fez on my own was like God himself reaching down and scratching my itchy brain. Well, maybe not like that, but it was extremely satisfying.

I was moving along in my backlog, getting further and further in Risk of Rain, Batman Arkham Asylum, and Shovel Knight, but then I went and got Resident Evil 4, now on the fourth platform I've owned (GC, Wii, 360,and now PC). It's either telling of the game's quality or my lack of gaming sanity that I'm once again fully-entrenched in Leon's plight. The Commando/Bruce Wayne/Shovel Knight can go to hell for the time being (but not really, I quite enjoy all of those games  )

I all but hated this game the first few times I tried it, and then it just clicked. If I could make a couple of suggestions to get the most enjoyment out of it, they would be: a) play with a controller: Playing this with a keyboard is really horrible, more so than most platformers, I find, so if you don't have a controller yet, I would strongly suggest just waiting until you do. b) play on easy until you beat the game once: Playing on Easy only means that you'll miss out on monster logs, but you'll still be able to unlock other characters, and speaking of which... c) play as the commando until you actually beat the game: the commando is pretty great all-around d) spend spend spend that money on as many upgrades as possible (you'll become a god with regenerating health, lightning helping you out, and ghosts of fallen enemies beating up on living enemies) but... e) don't linger too long in levels, as the difficulty is always climbing, no matter what: Spend too much time on a map, even with no one around, and when you jump into the next one, every enemy will be that much harder (or you'll be closer to the next difficulty level). Keep an eye out on the meter on the upper-right-hand corner. One of the best times to go buying stuff is after you've found the teleporter, assuming you can get around quickly enough (the speed upgrades are great). So, don't go too out of your way to find something to buy, but don't ignore everything, either. You simply won't survive on Medium or above without any help. Doing all of these things has brought the fun of the game up about tenfold.

So, I've started to use Steam Completionist to try and get through my backlog, or at least give eveey game a shot. I play everything from the couch now, so having a Steam controller helps in that endeavour. Some I've played a bunch, but haven't actually gotten to the true ending. So, right now, I have 10 games on tap: Antichamber FTL Gunpoint Mark of the Ninja Shovel Knight South Park: The Stick of Truth Spelunky (beaten on 360, once) Amnesia Darkest Dungeon Invisible Inc Any suggestions on what to tackle first? I kind of want to order them, and whenever I beat whatever's listed as #1, I'll move everything up one, and add a new game in the #10 spot. I think that's a good system. I genuinely enjoy all of these games, but I'm constantly hit with this weird feeling of never having the motivation to play any of them, despite having an almost nightly opportunity to do so (plus there's usually nothing else to do).

al-azad posted:Antichamber can be completed in a weekend evening and it's the kind of game that's best played at once because its shtick is an ever changing setting. Gunpoint is about as short. Mark of the Ninja and Shovel Knight are a little more involved and you should tackle them like a weekend rental. Amnesia and Stick of Truth are longer and more evolved and about equal length. The big problem is fitting in the roguelikes FTL, Spelunky, Darkest Dungeon, and Invisible Inc. FTL and Spelunky are the least involved because the cycle of runs is much shorter. Invisible Inc's "story" is pretty short but it's all about customizing its difficulty as you get more comfortable with its gameplay. Completing Darkest Dungeon is its own project. Thanks, appreciate the feedback! So, the new list's order is: 1. Antichamber 2. Gunpoint 3. Shovel Knight 4. FTL 5. Mark of the Ninja 6. Spelunky 7. Amnesia 8. SP 9. Invisible Inc 10. Darkest Dungeon

StrixNebulosa posted:That list looks good, but I'd also warn you: Shovel Knight is really, really difficult in its later stages, and if you don't have the patience/skill for precision jumping under pressure, it could put a stopper on finishing it. (Thinking of you, Propeller Knight!) It's really good otherwise, just be warned that when you tackle it, it won't be as forgiving as Mark of the Ninja. Well, the good thing is, I've already beaten Propellor Knight, so

Despite the fact that I have literally hundreds of games to beat, I recently completed Resident evil 4 for what must be the 12th time (first on Steam, though) and immediately started over with the infinite rocket launcher, bustin' heads (and literally everything else)  For my next trick, absolutely 100%-ing this game, something I've never done. Beaten the main campaign many times, even once on Professional, but I've never gotten 5 stars on everything in Mercenaries, nor have I ever had a save file with both Separate Ways and Assignment Ada completed. Really thankful for cloud saving through Steam. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Sep 25, 2016 |

Contingency Plan posted:I posted this almost five years ago and finally finished Alpha Protocol last night. I was having technical problems with my PC at the time and AP got lost in the shuffle. Well, the main draw of this game is the plot, and how your choices matter moreso here than in a lot of other games. The main piece of advice for starting this game is 'in order to make combat trivial because it kind of sucks and is very much NOT the reason to play the game, level up pistols and stealth and be done with it beyond that... now go and have great conversations!'.
