Has anyone played GhostControl Inc.? It looks like a Ghostbusters game in an XCOM style. But is it any good?

I'm playing Smooth Operators right now and it's really annoying how this company has apparently never heard of stairs.

Wait, they turned PvZ into a 3rd person shooter?  I knew EA was out of touch but really?

Anonymous Robot posted:Yup. Scroll up and look at the guy's post about bypassing the lovely, non-functional DRM. Campaign. Tropico 4 is like really, really easy and the campaign actually has limitations/conditions that make the game more interesting/challenging.

This is from a few pages back, but as a fellow night shift security dude, here are the games I play on my laptop: Turn based games: Civ 5 XCOM + Enemy Within (once you finish the regular game, I highly recommend the Long War mod) Blood Bowl (Chaos edition is the latest) Real time but pausable, with time controls: Crusader Kings 2 Kerbal Space Program Sims 3 Prison Architect

Last I heard the CK2 tutorial is broken now and not worth trying. Use the LP to learn the game, or do what I did and just jump in with a King-level character and learn as you go along! if you hover your mouse over stuff there are tooltips for almost everything.

PostNouveau posted:The ship combat stuff was the best part of AC3, and I assume the makers saw how awesome that was and decided to go pirate with AC4 purely because of it. This post just reminds me that they have never made a sequel to Sid Meier's Pirates! I guess that's basically what AC4 is, but still.

Moryrie posted:How hard is Crusader Kings to get into if you just kinda start playing it? I'm thinking of installing since it's free at the moment, but I'm a bit apprehensive because of how hard everyone says it is, and I really hate watching youtube tutorials because the people doing them always have these horrible obnoxious voices. I never understand people who say that game is hard to understand. EVERYTHING has a tooltip. And it's not like there is magical resources like aether or glibglorbs that aren't intuitive. Prestige and piety are pretty self explanatory. The hardest thing you might need to understand is succession laws but you can easily change that to the one everyone is familiar with (oldest child inherits everything)

The only memorable thing I remember about DA:O is when some mage flips out and he used blood magic to seize control of people and escape. I then immediately regretted my decision to become a generic lightning bolt/fireball mage and it was too late to do anything about it. And also there was a talking DLC advertisement at my camp.

I remember buying Ghost Master for like a dollar several halloweens ago. I ended up playing 10 hours of it. Not bad. It is very much a puzzle game though.

Accordion Man posted:Fallout 3 is a good game, but yeah, the only thing it has over New Vegas is the atmosphere. New Vegas really just wasn't fun to explore like 3 was. Yeah for Fallout 4 I hope they can somehow reconcile the exploration/atmosphere of Fallout 3 with the structure/storytelling of NV. I enjoyed NV for its quests and characters but exploring the Capitol Wasteland without a leash or walls is probably one of my favorite gaming experiences in recent memory.

Tezzeract posted:When L4D2 came out, it was the best thing on Steam. I really don't know what happened to it. The L4D community happened to it. I haven't played such a great game that was ruined by such a toxic multiplayer community since DOTA. L4D's is arguably worse because you can at least still try to learn the ropes in 3v5 games and not get votekicked at every chance.

Vivian Darkbloom posted:Banished is $10. How is it? It's a pretty solid town builder. Some stuff is kind of unintuitive; like villagers won't have kids unless they have their own house kind of thing. But other than it's pretty solid, runs smoothly even with thousands of villagers. I believe steam workshop support was added in a few months ago which I haven't gotten around to trying yet.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:Nobody has ever said these things. They did, and considering Starcraft used to look like this  They were right Meow Tse-tung posted:"Starcraft is just warcraft in space" was such a common thing before launch that they put it into the game as one of the jokes. I don't think I ever heard anyone making empassioned arguments that diablo was better than d2 though. Like, ever. Everywhere I posted on the internet thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. People complained Diablo 2 was too bright and wanted the game to be darker grittier and more like a horror game. A lot of them brought up the first encounter with the butcher to be a real terrifying experience compared to the 'bright' Diablo 2.

I'm enjoying creeper world 3, or rather I was, until the mission where they give you two command centers and basically force you to fight a two front war while also introducing a new game mechanic. Kind of frustrating. I hope there aren't a lot more missions like this were I have to give equal amounts of attention to different parts of the map simultaneously

I think you hit the nail on the head there. FO3 always felt like it had way more random encounters, and checking the wiki, it actually does by a lot: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3_random_encounters FO3 http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas_random_encounters NV Watching a vertibird fly in and drop off enclave soldiers in the distance or coming across slavers makes the game feel way more alive and fun to explore than 'go to this location for the next quest' Away all Goats fucked around with this message at 04:02 on Nov 15, 2014 |

They're basically full of 'Well, we had a much more elaborate setup here, but playtesters got confused so we made it more streamlined' My favorite is the tester who got stuck in a level by continuously turning left, over and over again, basically running around in a circle for thirty minutes

The only time I like using a controller is for driving games (or driving in games). You really need that analog control to make those fine touches to turning. Unless you're playing something like Sleeping dogs or Saints Row where the cars don't even really behave like cars anyway.
