I'm in Mexico and was about to place a Dota bet when stuff went down. Couldn't access my inventory and now that I tried to restart the client I can't even connect to Steam. RUH ROH

Is Shadowrun Returns worth it or completely overshadowed by Dragonfall? They are different campaigns, right? Six bucks seems a bit steep for a genre I'm not too hot in but a dollar is a pretty good sounding deal.

I just tuned in to the one Lost Saga stream to see how the game was and it featured a guy browsing menus and shooting the poo poo with some woman that seemed to be reading a smut novel out loud in between idle conversation. On one hand, I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. On the other, that was kind of like peeking into someone's living room.

So I'd like to buy a city builder/trading sort of game and want to know people's opinion. Should I get dawn of discovery or anno 2070? Maybe something else? I don't have any attachment to any time period and don't particulary care for Civ/already got Endless legend (neither of them really similar but fairly popular so I figure I'd better get those out of the way first.)

Super Dude posted:What's the general opinion on Running with Rifles? It looks really interesting, but I can't tell if it's worth $15. I wrote the only negative review that hasn't been shot down by the game's psychopathic community and I'd say it's not amazing unless you are playing with buddies. I think there's a demo available and one of their community moderators posted a pretty long video with raw gameplay (as well as the game's grind and some of the issues I mention in my review.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpJCxmr8gqI

Shima Honnou posted:MOBA or one of those flash games where you make units from your spawner until you kill the enemy's spawner? The second one. Even if the DLC didn't clue you in, I would stay far, faaaar away. That's another game that came out on iOS, was actually decent during the first couple months but then got ruined by immensely greedy powercreep and premium units. They basically patched in an "advanced" single player mode that could only be beaten by upgrading your units with real cash (cause otherwise they couldn't upgrade past level 20) and multiplayer was always ruled by premium units (the vast majority of them flat-out superior to anything you could get normally.)

Pentaro posted:So, are there any good SRPGs on Steam, besides X-Com? Looking for something to soothe my Tactics Ogre itch. Silent Storm is a classic that holds up ok, although kiiind of slow for today's age. The King's Bounty series has turn based combat mixed with a heavy dose of regular walking around doing rpg stuff. The Banner Saga is good if kind of basic as far as combat goes. Rime Berta looks deceptively good but it's super stripped down, same with Chroma Squad. Blackguards looked decent but I heard the developers more or less abandoned it and left it kind of busted. It's really quite a bummer that there's nothing like Tactics Ogre/Disgaea on PC.

GhostDog posted:RPS raised a good point about the refund policy: You can now essentially have any DRM free game (i.e. a game that can be run without the Steam client) for free. I guess they're just banking on the majority of people not being assholes and/or developers thus being encouraged to use Steam DRM? Is that even a thing? I thought every single game had some level of Steam integration for achievements and stuff.

Jordan7hm posted:Anyone have opinions about the new Humble Bundle on Slitherine games? Apparently these don't go on sale very often. I dunno, dude. Battle academy is ok, kind of like a casual wargame (was on iOS too) but it's pretty old, even the sequel is kind of old by now, and it has a shitload of DLC that doesn't seem to be included in the bundle. I have no experience with the other games in that tier but they seem to range from awful to mediocre, even Hell seems to share an engine with Battle Academy so I'm not sure if that's good or bad. It honestly seems like a kind of lovely bundle that's only really worthy if you go for the full 10 bucks and mostly because the games are seldom discounted, not necessarily because they are great.

monster on a stick posted:It's pretty meh. It's easy to get lost with the 2D/3D way of navigating the world, the gun loading mechanic is a bit tedious, and it's not all that entertaining. I only played 30 minutes or so, no real desire to keep at it. Speaking of endless runners no one wants to play, I guess the developers of a couple arcadey games are suffering because of refunds and are calling it abuse.

Darkhold posted:Thanks for the suggestions. I have Prison Architect last time I fired it up it was still pretty shaky so I imagine it's come a long way. I'll certainly fire it up again. Gnomoria have that as well probably another one that's been patched into a better state than when I last gave it a go but I feel like that would be more than what I'm looking for. Theme Games good suggestion didn't really think about poking around GOG for the classics. Rimworld is close to a scam now. Development slowed down massively, the Steam release keeps getting pushed back again and again and again and the developer WILL NOT provide Steam keys for people that purchased the game on his site after october 2014 or some poo poo like that. I'd be really wary.

Sober posted:By the way, Relic Hunters Zero is out. It's a Nuclear Throne-esque style game by (I believe) the team who made Chroma Squad. It's also entirely free. Also 60 fps if you are so inclined. It usually doesn't bother me but something about NT running at 30 fps makes my eyes strain really badly when most other 30fps locked games don't. I was in the Beta for that (read: early access) and it's ok. Seemed kind of clunky, the graphics are meh, music kind of sucks and some deaths are kind of bullshit but there's nothing absolutely terrible about it. The big deal is that it's open source so on paper it can get a shitload of content. I guess we'll see.

Red_Fred posted:NZ is not a 'cheap' region like Russia or Brazil if that's what you mean. Everyone can still receive gifts from people in the US and I think maybe countries that use the euro. As for you gifting people stuff, you can check yourself. Try adding a game to your cart then use the "purchase as a gift" option. If you are trade limited, the next page will give you a red text notice about about your regional limits.

Looks like poo poo, plays like poo poo, the interface is easily the worst out of all the terraria/minecraft kinda games and their biggest draw is some wacky laser-shark mascot character. The progression is a mess, the game ran poorly and it's just no good.

Warhammer something something Vermintide entered its ridiculous 24 hours "open" beta and it turns out that it's pretty nice. Pretty much a melee oriented left 4 dead with loot drops, a shitload of rat men to kill and some nice little characterization for each of the playable characters/classes. If you managed to snatch a beta code and like that kind of co-op game, give it a try.

I'm not exactly sure how in depth it goes but enemy placement is different every time, including that of special skaven that act quite a lot like L4D's special zombies. I did find a special item in the same place both times I played a mission but the rest was pretty different, including what might or might no have been a few paths that opened along the way (it's hard to tell since the first map is so big and labyrinthine.)

Junkie Disease posted:Sellme/notsellme Vermintide. It's Fatshark so I feel angry at them for War of Roses, but its a different game where I beat rat people. I for one liked it more than L4D. It's kind of hard to explain but L4D always felt like a grind that would slowly wear your guys down whereas Vermintide feels far more active and full of "oh poo poo" moments. I guess it's the combination of truly dangerous melee combat, rats being able to appear from a lot more places and the fact that there are no soft-resets during a mission (since there's no safe house or anything else that interrupts the action). It does sound like it'll come out a bit thin on content though. We don't really know since the beta only included 3 out of 13 levels and the length of each varied a lot, plus there's no versus mode or survival (so it seems.) There's also supposed to be both free and paid DLC in the horizon so I guess give it a go if the price seems right.

I was in the beta, got a free copy out of it, and I'd say you should save your money. There's 50 people playing (just checked) and the game launched lacking some incredibly basic functions like a push to talk button or any way to ensure matches don't immediately end if the Devil disconnects/leaves/whatever. They sure got in indept twitch integration though! From the beginning it made me feel like the game was meant to be youtuber/streamer bait rather than something people would actually like to play.
