Mill Village posted:I finished West of Loathing. The writing was easily the best part of the game. I think I'll take a break before I try to get the other endings, the game has some issues I hope the developers fix. I also played and finished it, and yeah, there are some weird things in there and magic is OP like it is in the webgame. The Military Cemetery has a second puzzle to it that I haven't figured out yet; I think it has something to do with the random wander things you get with the numbers but I'm not sure.

Peewi posted:If a game has sold "a few thousand" on Steam and half a million keys have been redeemed, Valve wanting to look a little closer at it seems very reasonable. Selling them en masse to bundle sites, most likely. I don't really understand why they'd do this, honestly, especially if the game has cards, since they make money off of card sales.

MGSV is an amazing game that unfortunately just stops before the ending. I'll maintain that I really enjoyed it and I didn't have an issue with the plot not being weird; the big boss stuff was always more "serious" in tone than snake's adventures.

Doorknob Slobber posted:Have you seen the pictures of the AFK bots farming points for chests to sell skirts for $600 on the marketplace. There aren't any new Chinese players.

TF2 had (still has, I guess) an enormous problem with AFKing for boxes and items, and they never really figured out a good fix.

exquisite tea posted:I thought SpecOps kind of stumbled in that regard too, in that you're lambasted about how you could have stopped anytime mannnn except you weren't actually given the option to stop in the story, except by turning off the game which you can do to 100% of all other games so what point are you trying to make. At least Far Cry 4 gave you a proper out if you just waited 15 minutes, which I thought was pretty cool. My favorite thing about this is that they actually had a bunch of different endings and there was a button in the pause screen that was basically "exit site and report to CO" and people would pick that after about 15 minutes consistently in playtesting and then bitch about how short the game was.

The main game is just going to be the platform they build their online off of. I fully expect them to do the bare minimum for RDR2, because they've discovered where the money is, and it isn't singleplayer.

Black Griffon posted:Way back I heard Homefront: The Revolution wasn't actually that bad. Can anyone confirm or deny? It's dumb and super janky, but I enjoyed it. I'm also 100% sure the main character is literally mute and not just a silent protag because you never speak or motion that you're speaking through the entire game and it's really, really funny. e: also the rain effects in that game are loving gorgeous.

So I'm enjoying Mankind Divided but lol does it have some problems. The lip sync is completely off, I've run into an untranslated French email, and I'm not super happy with their decision to only let you pick one of the story arcs to complete in Prague at the end of (assumedly) act 2. I do really like the universe and I love how the game is basically letting you see Bob Page and Meghan gently caress everything up and set the original Deus Ex into motion, but it's really spotty.

Hey Too Shy, you should go back and do the little secret bit in Arrival, since it's at least interesting. In the beginning of the game, grab the flashlight, turn the radio on, and then go out and interact with the missing poster twice.

DR is bad because half of the gimmick of the writing is starting up arcs for characters and then either immediately or waiting a case to kill them off before they can get any narrative closure. You very quickly stop giving a poo poo about any of the characters, and the entire game is built around those characters, so you can see why it fails at what it's trying to do.

Yeah it's super important to remember that this is a third person tactics game, you really shouldn't rely on the AI that much unless you're busy dealing with something super important, like not dying. Also don't forget your hat!
