I have this sort of fear: I have a LOT of games on steam. Could steam just ban my account so I can't play stuff? I use a vpn for torrenting sometimes but I don't ever pirate games at all, or buy games while I'm on a vpn. Steam sees me changing to russia and back. Twice I've vpn'd to unlock a game early. The vpn stuff is not even really part of my fear which is that for some reason steam could just stop working or ban me for no good reason and that steam wouldn't ever give me access again. Does that happen? Does steam have support who actually talk to you ever? I've never had to contact them before.

RBA Starblade posted:Is Civ 6 worth it at 40 bucks? It feels like it's taking ages for a good sale for it. Civ 6 is not a fun game. I played Civ V into the ground, I tried to beat it with all empires on king difficulty and got maybe 3/4 of the way through. I have about 500 hours in Civ V. I have played a lot of Civ, I played the poo poo out of Civ 1. I love Civ. Civ 6 has got me to play 2 games of it, then I gave up. I recently asked in the thread "has this game changed much since release, I didn't like it" and the reply was "no". I think I even played Civ: beyond earth more than I played Civ VI and I hated beyond earth. redreader fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Jul 27, 2017 |

Not sure if this game was discussed in this thread. I looked in games forum and private games server forum and didn't see anything about Empyrion. I bought it and played it with a friend, a bit last night. Since we just jumped in we skipped the tutorial which may have been dumb. Does anyone here play + like this? Has anyone got any pointers, or an article or wiki to link me to?

I'm playing darkwood and I'm sort of stuck. I think I've explored all of the initial area and I'm not finding any more resources. I can't afford to repair my nail bat and I don't know how to progress. Things blocking me: 1: I found the south exit which leads to another area, there's a base I need to clear of an infestation. ... how 2: I found the north exit to another area there's a locked door I need to open ... how 3: I went underground and got my rear end killed, also there's a locked door there. Also of course as soon as I run out of nails and I've been boarding my house every night, needlessly, that's the first night I get attacked at night. edit: I've looked at all of the pictures I have and don't see any clues. Also, this game is GOOD. redreader fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Oct 30, 2017 |

I posted in the wrong thread so I'll repost but with more detail. Please recommend me games! Here's the kind of stuff I like: Survival: I love 7 days to die, this war of mine, subnautica, and darkest dungeon. I have Darkwood and like it. in my basket to buy: Sunless sea + DLC, enter the gungeon, outlast 1 + DLC. Are they any good? Adventure: I also like the telltale games and life is strange + sequel. I have all of those games. Anything else similar? Other: I have played TONS of xcom 1/2 + dlc. I have subnautica and all of the souls games too, those are great. Prey was one of my games of the year. I bought dead cells and hollow knight as well. I don't have axiom verge, I didn't like guacamelee. Any recommendations?

I got to the old city and just ... it seemed like a way less fun game in there. Is that the second half or just the ending? I sort of stopped playing it soon after I got to the old city. Is it worth picking up again to finish the game or is the second part just, worse? edit: lol I think I stopped playing because I linked the phone game to my account, but then one day the phone game asked me to log in and I discovered I'd not used the correct email address to register... so I could never log in again to the phone game and I got mad.

40 Proof Listerine posted:Into the Breach is actually good about recovering from bad starts; the final island scales to how many islands you completed, so you can duck out early if you think the run isn't doing well. By comparison, the scaling on the islands is less harsh than the amount of time pods you get, so if you have an average start you can get extra wind on islands 3/4 with the extra supplies. I came here to ask: I loved souls/bloodborne. Is the surge any good? Considering getting it.

I live in the USA but I'm in another country on vacation. If I buy a steam game here, will my account be banned or something when I go back to the USA? (For buying a game "with a VPN" or something)? I thought about this because I was going to buy a game and it quoted me the local currency.

SirSamVimes posted:How is Subnautica? I'm not big on Minecraft-likes or survival games but my love for Terraria means that I can make exceptions if they're fun and well designed enough. Subnautica is one of the best games I've played this year. It doesn't have block mining like Minecraft, but it does have harvesting, and building bases. The bases are made of prefabricated rooms/tunnels, with things you can put inside like medical kit generator, lockers for storage (you'll need a lot), gardens to grow food, scanner rooms, etc. It has a couple of places you basically just plain should not go, which you learn about through trial and error. Once you've explored a bunch, I recommend just looking at the map. Another hint I'll give is to look for the cloudy area and just swim straight there after playing for a couple of hours and getting the first couple of upgrades. I played with all the survival stuff turned on but that's my kind of thing. It plays fine without that stuff.

I got celeste on switch and was turned off by how hard it was. I'm 'ok' at video games for someone who's been playing them my whole life. I have some friends who are way, way better at games than I am (that is to say, I know I'm not super skillful). I've played all the souls games and am decent at them. I am terrible at celeste. I played it for like an hour and never picked it up again. Should I try it again or is it like 'it may just not be for you'?

Dying Light is really great. If anyone is playing it, please get the android or (probably also) iphone game for it. It doesn't require much attention: send guys on missions, they unlock more missions or bring back stuff. You can then send a 'care package' off to your character in the game. about 5 minutes later you can collect that package from a quartermaster. GREAT way to get bandages/molotovs and other useful items.Ciaphas posted:Speaking of controllers, is Dying Light meant to be played KBM? Some of this UI feels like it's really made for controller but I have played it for 71 hours, all of them with a gamepad. I'm sure it's easier with kb+m but I'm on the couch with my pc and it does feel like it's sort of made for a controller apart from the aiming (I rarely use guns) Anti-Hero posted:Prey Mooncrash worth it if I really enjoyed the base game? Yes, it's a really fantastic game. I haven't finished it yet but I have put around 20 hours into it. If you liked Prey, get it! it's great. My own question: [b]Duskers[\b]: Is it just me or is it too rng-gently caress-you? I understand the coding aspect, typing on keyboards doesn't bother me. But the game itself just seems too tough. Anyone else? I had fun with it but I don't see much point in playing it. The only counter I ever have to enemies is opening airlock doors.

For the people playing Dying Light: Get the phone app! It's a game where you send squads on missions, wait, collect the rewards, send them on a new mission. Once you have any items you can send up to 20 to your character in the game. Your character can collect the items from any quartermaster within a few minutes. This will give you alcohol, gauze, weapon upgrades, health kits, etc. It's super useful if you're bad at games like me and need to heal up a lot. Also in the main game remember to upgrade your grappling hook asap, invest in mobility stuff, parkour everywhere, etc. For humans you need guns more or less. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.techland.dyingLight.CA&hl=en_US https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/companion-for-dying-light/id953047231?mt=8

Xander77 gave me Super Turbo Demon Busters and another game that I forgot, which I can't figure out, because I can't find our conversation history or a record of games I was gifted. It's a roguelike game. I played it for about 45 minutes. It has a decent soundtrack and pixel graphics. Nothing happens until you click on something, so this game can be played easily when you're busy with something else like watching tv. You can stop playing any time without having to pause. The gameplay loop is: - Enter a dungeon. These dungeons have about 15 rooms. Only a couple of rooms will be visible at the start. Each room will have enemies or items. The view is top-down. - Pick a room by clicking on an item or enemy. This will reveal more rooms until you find the exit and leave. The items are normally money (spent to level up or buy ammo or health) or ammo. - If you click on an enemy, combat starts. You will have a melee weapon and a gun. You can use either to attack a single enemy, and any enemies onscreen will attack you back once, each time you attack. Some enemies are weak to melee or guns. This carries on until you run out of health, or they do. You're supposed to make it to the exit before your health runs out. At that point you move to the next location with full health. I thought I was going to be done with my first run by mission 10 or something but I carried on until I saw mission 22 and no end in sight. At the end of each mission you may unlock a new character. I've unlocked all but 2 of the 8 or so characters, within the first 45 minutes of play. I can't figure out if it's even possible to die because I've seen a game over screen by running out of health but then was able to start again at the beginning of the same dungeon, so the penalty was about 1-2 minute's worth of play. You can pick a new person to play as, each mission, of the ones you've unlocked. Each person needs to be levelled up (damage/health/money-getting-ability) separately and each specialises in one of the 10 or so weapons. You unlock weapons at the end of some levels. I have never seen any kind of boss fight. The game doesn't require much planning or thinking beyond: -switching weapons when you're low on ammo in a dungeon -switching characters between dungeons -levelling up -deciding when to go to the exit if it's visible, vs fighting more enemies because you may run out of health and 'die'. The game is not hard, because there seems to be no penalty for death. The game is also not very fun. If you want something really mindless, play something else I suppose. Finally: this reminds me of dungeon of the endless, but dungeon of the endless is a very good game, and this isn't! Thanks for the gift, Xander77! Sorry for the late review.

Can someone help me with Darkwood? When I died during the night I just woke up the next morning. If I didn't die because I'd laid traps or whatever (I can't remember the details since it was a year or more ago, but I remember it used resources), I had used up a bunch of stuff. So what's the point of trying to survive the night? And is it randomly generated, so the entire place is different each time I play? Are there any starting tips or anything (Is there a thread?)

I backed Phoenix Point. I just came here to check what people think about the epic store. What exactly is wrong with it? I would rather not have Phoenix Point on it but if I have to, I will. If there's some weird thing with "everyone on the epic store gets hacked" or "they steal your money" or some other thing, I'll get a phoenix point refund. But, I really want to play that game. I checked the reddit for phoenix point and it's full of babies crying about getting r*ped by julian gollop, and seems to be a great example of "gamer rage / internet pile-on" stuff. I backed PP like a year ago and am really looking forward to playing it. I'm unsure why reddit is so angry.

Playing steamworld heist. Stuck on the cargo barge mission. I got the heavy guy and bought him a grenade launcher which helps, but the really large melee guys + the turrets are wrecking my poo poo. I'm playing on medium difficulty. I've got some bombs I end up not using, some thorn armour, and I went back a couple of missions and ground like, one level out of my guys which helped a bit but not a lot. Are you supposed to be replaying missions a bunch? because I played the first 5 or so with no problem, but 'cargo barge' with 'crusher class scrappers' is wrecking my poo poo. I'm sure I can do it if I grind out another level or so and stuff, but wow, it's a brick wall. Am I supposed to be retreating a full run for a turn, to get into a better position? This seems to be counter to the 'rush because turrets will appear' timer. Will turrets keep on appearing or do they appear once and that's it?

If you want to kill a lot of kobolds with your THAC0 it's kind of nostalgic. There's a great encounter in BG1 where you fight a level 5 wizard or something, with your 2-4 level 1ish guys (at the start of the game) and he absolutely murders you again and again on normal difficulty (or at least one of your guys) until you decide to drink all of your potions and cast all of your buff spells first and then manage to eke out a win.

Phlegmish posted:Rais's ambushes/escape sequences are probably the worst part of Dying Light. You have no idea where to go and you have 3 seconds to make the right decision before being completely destroyed by a million guys shooting at you. And just to add a little kick in the nuts they take away some of your Survivor Points every time you die. I had a great experience the other day when trying to collect mushrooms in a cave at night. Me, an idiot: "it's at night and you can't lose points at night!". Then I sneak into the cave and instantly everyone starts attacking me and I'm attacking back and I hear the daylight sound, then I die and lose 3000 survivor points. The next night I go out and Think "well, I can't lose points at night!" and then I die at night and LOSE 2800 MORE SURIVOR POINTS. I thought you couldn't lose points at night? I already lose enough every day. It's a wonder I'm level 17 because I die all the time. I would be level 30 without all the dying (if that even exists). I used to know exactly how this all worked but I last played the game seriously, in about 2015 and I'm still not finished yet.
