Is Civ 6 worth it at 40 bucks? It feels like it's taking ages for a good sale for it.

Thanks for saving me forty bucks on Civ 6 guys! Too bad about it and Beyond Earth; Civ 4 and 5 are some of my favorite games.

Urban Empire's not very good right? It's got 2.5 stars everywhere but I've never heard anything about it. The idea of a citybuilder where you only have partial control sounds really fun though. The thing I've learned from Tropico and Banished is that they're too easy because they're too solvable, but games like Sim City and Cities get boring for me because they're largely just about making a huge city; a lot of the incidental stuff sort of doesn't matter.

Glare Seethe posted:I really enjoyed climbing stuff in the early Assassin's Creed games because the movement/parkour was a major part of the gameplay and fairly innovative at the time, and because of the historical landmarks. Looking up at Giotto's Bell Tower and thinking "yeah, I'm gonna climb that" and then doing it and being rewarded with a superb view and a bunch of new map markers was great. It obviously lost its luster somewhat as Ubisoft ran it into the ground as a mechanic but I still think it can be good in the right setting. I actually haven't played any of the recent Far Cry games so I dunno how it works there but I can't imagine it being as exciting as climbing the Sistine Chapel or whatever. I used to replay rear end Creed 2 and rear end Creed Bro pretty regularly (Revelations had too many annoying gimmicks but it was fun), Black Flag was good but I have no real desire to play it again although I'm playing Freedom Cry right now, but the series sort of just poo poo itself at 3 and at that point I realized I'm good on buying new ones. I still get a laugh out of the one Ubisoft tower in AC3 being a small flagpole on a hill because as it turns out Colonial Boston doesn't have loving anything.

King Keltair posted:Just did this last week myself - you have one or two more templars to kill plus the guy that betrayed you, then you go back to mcguffin palace to face off with the last guy. I say this every time it comes up but Assassin's Creed: Black Flag's plot is hilarious because it's a tragedy about a man trying desperately to escape from the plot of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag and ultimately failing.

Too Shy Guy posted:The Void was restored to Steam last year. And you can count me among the folks who liked Knock Knock for its atmosphere and never figured out how the gently caress any of it worked. It's a long, repetitive game that you can render unwinnable so it's... actually a lot like their other games but worse in regards to obfuscation and repetition. Knock-Knock's pretty cool but I apparently only beat it when I did because of a bug where you don't run out of sanity. Hiding is completely useless too. quote:I played it a little ages ago but had issues with the "draw to use spells" mechanic. The drawings were fairly simple, but I couldn't get them to register right. I ended up putting it down in short order because of that. I bought the game because of that LP posted earlier and also ran into the problem where I couldn't reliably draw anything. It also has trouble running on later Windows OSes iirc. I wonder if after they finish remaking Pathologic they'll ever revisit The Void. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Aug 13, 2017 |

By the way if you have it and didn't notice, Halcyon 6 updated with a "lightspeed edition" that overhauls the game. It cuts the grind in half and adds a bunch of stuff apparently (I only played the original for a few hours). It's free if you own H6 already.

It's a few years old at this point but if anyone wants a good co-op game Gauntlet: Slayer Edition's pretty good fun. Especially when you dick everyone over and shoot the god damned food.

Borderlands 2 was a lot of fun the first time through NG+, then the DLCs turned it into a garbage show. Especially as the dual-wielding dude because surprise you can't kill any of the snipers now.

Especially that motorcycle chick - only way I could kill her was by cheesing geometry and shooting her after climbing on poo poo. I played DR: Remastered when it came out and forgot how loving obnoxious that boss fight is when you can't just grab the real mega buster to deal with it.

This is on the 360, but either Fable Anniversary just sucks or Fable 1 really doesn't hold up anymore. I know the remastered graphics suck, but the load times are pretty bad too (and loading is every thirty seconds, these are short zones). I know the Steam version has an additional tweaked difficulty mode but it's sort of just boring now, too.

For anyone who kickstarted it, it looks like the remake of Pathologic is now just going to be Pathologic 2, and come out in 2018. Pathologic HD is on Steam as its own thing, along with the demo they released earlier.

I really want to grab OS2 but XCOM 2 and Destiny 2 have devoured my time. OS1 is one of the best RPGs I've ever played though, but I don't think I'd ever replay it due to its length.

Tippis posted:Or Talisman — it's like a clicker game, but with less interaction and player agency. Talisman is hilarious explicitly because nothing you do matters. It's the dumbest bullshit all about how anything you try will fail and while everyone's falling over themselves somebody will inevitably win by doing nothing and I love it. It sounds like it should be absolutely miserable but for some reason I just bust up laughing every time.

Tippis posted:The one major flaw with the digital edition is that you can't set the number of (human) players to zero. It would be perfect if it weren't for having to actually play it. The one time I did something that mattered it was to move the grim reaper to the player in the lead, who killed him due to a bad roll (he got to re-roll and rolled the same thing lmao). We all shouted at him to get back in the bucket with the rest of the crabs. We didn't finish playing that game.
