I bought Heat Signature but on the 3rd mission I bumped into a this tiny little ship I was supposed to dock with and it started flying round in circles. Couldn't catch it after that. Refunded and waiting for the inevitable Humble Bundle.

Yeah I've spent less in 10 years of playing steam games than some people spent THIS WEEK buying fake land and ships in a Star Citizen.

I know a guy who's wife left him because he spent over 15k on the Diablo 3 auction house. Imagine being that guy when they disabled it, lol.

Cleric is a solid class all around that lets you touch on magic and wear heavy armor, stuff that's mutually exclusive if you go for mage or fighter.

I played the whole of BG1 as a ranger, as a kid and I liked it, dammit.

Then I played BG2, as an adult, as a mage and nuked the poo poo out of everything.

The patch fixed Tesla Vs Lovecraft right up and it's a lot of fun. I've really been enjoying the 3rd difficulty level, seems just about right. One of the better ADHD twin stick shooters you can get atm. The devs are worth supporting too, they've been updating Crimsonland for years and years!

I played the first level of The Bureau and thought it was ok but then it ate my save when I quit and I really can't be bothered to replay it.

So I guess yeah, it sucks.

Edit : gently caress it, refunded Strain Tactics. There looks to be a fun game hidden in there somewhere but I'm not prepared to fight those awful controls anymore.

The tutorial teaches you to use the mobile controls - the PC controls are much better. Left click on units to select, right click to tell them where to go or to pick up an item. Left-click and drag for line drawing. F to initiate force-fire, V for overwatch, spacebar for pause. Hotkeys 1-5 for unit selection.

I get that but it's left click to drag and move, right click to drag the screen, right click to move, left click to start firing at something OR pick it up. It feels absolutely terrible to control.

I redid that first mission and it was dark; couldn't see poo poo. Navigating tight spaces with 5 guys whose name text all overlaps is just gross. They kept walking into fire when you go into the building to get the laptop.

a guy got infected, the helicopter wouldn't pick anyone up to decontaminate, the spray didn't work, had to wait around till he changed then play inventory Tetris to free up space for a bodybag...which wasn't there!

gently caress it I feel like my dad trying to work the VCR. Too many menus on different corners of the screen. It would be fine on a tablet but it's real pain to navigate the UI with a mouse. It's probably fun if you have more patience but it's definitely not for everyone.

I found WASD to move the camera to be comfortable, and... the spray didn't work? That's not right, it 100% cures infection if your dude is standing under it.

I'm sorry the game wasn't for you. I feel like I want to leap through your screen to show you it, but...alas. Games are personal experiences.

No the helicopter stopped letting me board people anywhere on the map and the medical spray didn't cure the infection timer. Maybe I was using some other spray though because you have to OPEN A DIFFERENT MENU TO SEE THE NAMES OF THE ITEMS YOU HAVE EQUIPPED. What the hell is that? Why not just make that entire second menu a tool tip so you can distinguish one nearly identical, tiny spray pic from another?!

Sorry, I was quite hyped for that game.

It's not steam but has anyone played FORZA HORIZON 3? Is there anything there that makes it worth getting if I already have Dirt 3/Rally/Test Drive 2/The Crew?

I'm still just waiting for Dungeon Warfare 2 to release. Hope they don't delay it again!

Huh interesting. My mine consumable one shots entire waves unless I've called in 10+ and they get a huge hp/damage resist bonus. I always have hundreds of enemies on my screen so only rockets or bolts feel like they do much. Haven't tried the teleport trap yet. This is around level 100 so I have most of all 3 skill trees complete and level 30+ traps for the ones I'm using.

I do like Dungeon Warfare 2 but I think the runes totally unbalance the game. I felt like the first game had legitimately difficult levels the first time through and here all the difficulty is wrapped up in setting your own level of challenge. That can be fun but I'd prefer to have a more curated experience through the game at least once.

It's not bad but I think I may prefer 1.

Also I got some insane lightning trap buff runes that make me do like 200% damage and there's no reason to ever use any other traps now.

My 5 year old currently likes Rime. It might still be in the fanatical/humble bundles atm.

Seriously though. Hope you're strictly limiting his gaming time at this age.

Humble games don't interest me much this month and I'm also broke.

Absolver, Tannenburg, Sundered, $2.50 each if anyone wants them.

Sold. Northguard, Minit
