Quest For Glory II posted:Yeah I didn't like Wrack at all. garbage-feeling guns, not great level designs, and you only do any real damage if you keep your combo up but since there's backtracking, through areas you've already cleared out... Plus the headbob and the viewmodel run animation made it look like you were going for limping speed record.

How is 1979 Revolutions: Black Friday? I don't expect a long game from that cost, but how good is it in terms of adventure/narrative games?

I bought State of Decay Year One and it keeps crashing on startup. Anyone encountered this? I tried deleting and reinstalling Microsoft C++ 2012 or whichever one comes with the game and the "-fullscreen" startup option. It seems like this has been an ongoing issue since launch.  Too bad, I enjoyed the game when it was on the Xbox 360.

Is it worth picking up New Retro Arcade: Neon? I've always liked the virtual arcade simulation, and it looks a lot more polished than Anarchy Arcade. Is it difficult to get set up properly, and are you just limited to MAME stuff, or can you load other things like Steam games and whatnot? EDIT: I should say that I don't have a VR headset, and don't have the budget for one, so I was also wondering how it plays without the VR controls.

monster on a stick posted:It wasn't a balance issue. Retinues were shipped overpowered, everyone knew it, the entire selling point of the DLC was "ahistoric standing armies so you can conquer the world if that's how you want to roll." Then they turned it off, "lol thanks for paying $10 for our DLC suckers." That wasn't the selling point at all but if you want old overpowered retinues then just roll back to the patch before they rebalanced them, jesus christ this isn't hard

il_cornuto posted:If I only wanted one de Blob which one is better? Hmmm....that's a tough one since I haven't played the first in a long time. The second has a little more variety in that you'll have some side scrolling sections along with the regular missions. The second one also has a little more variety in the levels and gameplay (in the form of power ups), so maybe try the second one, if you have to pick one.

Tamayachi posted:So if I wanted to pick up a cheapo VR headset for Subnautica and Elite Dangerous, what would be my best bets? Honestly, wait for the Vive 2. I bought my Vive as soon as it was commercially available, and love it, but I can't really recommend VR right now. The tech is awesome, but there needs to be a better selection of games and I can't justify the investment unless you like staying on top of the newest tech. The Vive 2 is expected to have a much better resolution (my biggest complaint with the Vive -- text is sometimes hard to read unless it's dead center and it's close.) and more precise motion controls. Also, it'll potentially be wireless. If you really want one right now, though. I'd say the Vive is still on top, but can't really speak for the others.

The Darkness II is fun as gently caress. I loved the first and didn't care for the second back in 2012. It was more like the comic than the first game. This time around I am tuned into how comic-booky it is. It helps that I've actually read some Darkness comics this time.

Bringing back an old effort-post of mine about Roguelikes, my favorite genre! Roguelikes Bionic Dues is down to 1.49$, and it's Arcen's weird unpolished game where you swap out different robots as you fight other robots. Worth a gander but you won't love it. Caves of Qud is at 8.99$! Buy it! You all know the refrain by now, it's the classic post-apocalyptic mutant exploration game where you die to turrets, giant angry bears, and angry NPCs! Crypt of the Necrodancer! 2.99$ for a beautifully designed roguelike where you dance as you kill your foes - it's wonderful, even if you have a bad sense of rhythm as I do. Desktop Dungeons is 7.49$, and well - do you like having your brain fried as you try to solve puzzles? It's fascinating and difficult and elegant. *Do not get the goatperson DLC, I hear that class is an utter pain to play as, and only for advanced users. Dungeonmans! Do you like fun? I like fun. It's 7.49$ for a pure dungeoncrawling experience. No funny plot to slow you down, no weird mutations to pick from, just a straightforward (yet cool) set of skills, your weaponry, and ever-more-powerful bees to kill. Good times. (The DLC is great, BUT do not get it unless you want to add difficulty sliders to the game, as it adds no other new content. The sliders are great and I love the new mechanics and customization, but it's for advanced players.) Dungeons of Dredmor, a clunky classic for 2.49$. It's funny, its skill-tree hasn't been duplicated by anyone else yet, and it brought roguelikes to the mainstream. I also here there's a tiny tiny chance it might be getting a new patch or something? Fingers crossed! One Way Heroics for 2.44$ (Add Plus edition for 2.59$!) - A weird yet cool game where you race across the kingdom to kill the Overlord before his creeping darkness swallows up everything. Plus Edition adds a TON of content and refinements to the game. There's an expensive remake that I'd pass on unless you really, really must have more of this game, too. Sproggiwood. 4.49$ - no time for dungeon diving? New to the genre? This is the holy grail of accessible roguelikes. It's fun to play, cute to look at, and surprisingly vicious. Savage mode is no joke. Play it, and learn to hate twinned monsters! Sword of the Stars: The Pit. For 1.29$..... you could do better. I'm sorry, but this game is terrible and I don't like it. It's one of the few sci-fi roguelikes, but DoomRL is free. Please play DoomRL instead. ToME, one of the biggest roguelikes out there - listen. It's free at its website. What you are buying on steam is the upgraded fancy version. Worth it - I mean it's 2.37$ - but please go play the free version first. This game can be very offputting if you're not ready for it. And then we get things I don't class as roguelikes in my steam library because I'm a nerd, but hey, they're good anyways! FTL, THE game to play if you want to be captain kirk. Not a fan of the final boss, but you owe it to yourself to play at least one or two games of this. 2.49$ Spelunky is 2.24$ and it's the Indiana Jones experience. I mean I don't need to sell this one do I? Everyone knows it. New Additions To This List 868-HACK, my favorite simple roguelike. It's almost an arcade game in how fiendishly simple it is. For 4.12$ it's one of the best on the list - carefully navigate a gauntlet of enemies as you collect weird/cool powerups and beat the game - then loop it, going as far down as you can before you die. AuroraRL weird sci-fi roguelike for 0.74$ - it honestly feels like a game from the 80s or 90s? It's just... very weird, but there's a lot to do and it's cheap, so hey, check it out. Morphblade - honestly it feels like a phone game. 2.49$ for a simple-yet-complex gauntlet of enemies where you upgrade the board itself with different tiles as you progress. I like it, it's by the Gunpoint guy, but it's not a deep game. Risk of Rain, my new favorite Spelunky-esque game. 2.49$, has great dynamic difficulty and cool items - you try to clear five stages and their bosses before the timer reaches the insane difficulties, steadily getting stronger - or dying. I love it a lot! MidBoss - alas, it's brand new so they couldn't do a sale, so it's a full 14.99$, but I like it. It's about possessing monsters and becoming them as you go through the dungeon. You learn skills from them, pick up new loot, and basically have a good pure roguelike experience. The devs are working on more improvements as we speak! Summary The absolute best things on this list are still Dungeonmans, Caves of Qud, and Crypt of the Necromancer - and the best bargain is DoomRL, as it's free! Get these four, have a blast!

So Wuppo is pretty cheap, and it's worth your money for sure. I love Wuppo, it's adorable and super well animated and fun, plus it's also got great music. http://store.steampowered.com/app/400630/Wuppo/ If you like Indie Platformers, and I don't mean modern ones where it's a super difficult nes platformer nonsense thing but Indie Platformers from the mid 2000s then you should check it out. Lots of love put into it and it shows!

Olive Garden tonight! posted:You mean DRL (D**m, the Roguelike)? Yeah, if you liked AUS you'll love Wuppo. They're similar, though you can tell Wuppo definitely had higher production values and better animators working on it. It fully feels like an indie game of that era, though, which is why it's so nice. dromal phrenia posted:Is the Special Edition worth the extra $3? The DLC doesn't sound too exciting but for all I know, the new modifiers and weapons enhance gameplay in some cool way. The electricity gun is very nice but it's not particularly meaningful apart from that. Everything else is cosmetic.
