So Elder Scrolls Online has me download 60 GBs from Steam... and what launches after that loving herculean task is an installer, which says I need to download another 87 GBs. I don't even have that much space remaining on my loving SSD, so even though I apparently already have most of the game's data (according to the forums) I can't actually finish the install without buying a loving external HD. Great loving job guys. I'm so glad Steam isn't doing anything about wildly-out-of-control download and install sizes, especially when the game doesn't actually require nearly that much space and it's 100% dev laziness/stupidity, like 33% of DOOM's install size being uncompressed foreign-language audio that you don't even need because you can select your language ahead of time.

EtG is a Good And Fun Game... as long as you cheat like a motherfucker. If you're finding yourself spending too much time with the basic weapons or just not having fun in general, use Cheat Engine to spawn the occasional Rainbow Chest and see if that mixes things up for you. It sure did for me!

PerilPastry posted:Is Borderlands 2 worth it if you're a weirdo like me who prefers single-player? I'd pick it up at SOME point, it's a good-ish game if you use Cheat Engine to fix item rarities and don't ever play UVHM. Edit: Mechromancer is definitely the best class if you're going to play solo, just FYI.

Zereth posted:Note that in the very first townlike area I talked to a dog and got a quest and a key to use in said quest from him. It seems like Pet Pal is even more useful this time around than I remember it being in 1. Not to mention the ability to marry off a party member to an aristocratic slug monster. Also, Undead get an item late-ish in Act 1 that lets them impersonate dead NPCs. You can even play as an Undead Elf which lets you eat dead people AND cut off and wear their faces, for the full Hannibal Lecter experience! Don't get me wrong, there are definitely things I'm not too fond of in the game, but the sheer amount of stuff to do and reactivity to experience, just in Act 1 is loving bannanas.

Spiderdrake posted:I doubt it's one person so much as an entire board room jerking off to the download numbers for mods while imagining people will pay up like they do for serious DLC for all their little mods. They're almost certainly going to do this with TES: The Next One or whatever, but it wont change the fact that they just aren't willing to put the effort into making it work. If the prices are as high and the quality as low as what we've seen in Fallout 4 then people are going to make better free mods just to spite them.

Doorknob Slobber posted:you're right I have no idea about the game and no one has bothered to actually say anything good about it besides "buy it, buy it, hype, ascii art, barf, early access, hype, game buy it" I don't really 'get' sports games, like in general, but I don't spend four consecutive posts talking about how they must be poo poo ripoffs because the only alternative is that maybe people have slightly different tastes then me. Like, it's a game where you murder robots and steal their parts and become a terrifying frankenmech, if that doesn't appeal to you (or you have some burning, all-consuming hatred of ASCII graphics) then maybe... it isn't for you? Either way it isn't worth getting this worked up about.

John Murdoch posted:How's the DLC for Darkest Dungeon? If your main takeaway from the base game was "These bosses aren't nearly bullshit enough" then you'll love Crimson Court! Seriously though, it adds a lot of fun content but also a lot of infuriating bullshit, at very least don't go into it blind unless you're okay with losing multiple high-level parties.

The game itself is pretty awesome, with the caveat that you kind of have to be okay with losing characters you've put a lot of effort into and occasionally abusing the mechanics (hire a fresh party of adventurers off the wagon, send them into a dungeon with minimal supplies, collect as much treasure as possible, fire all of the insane or stressed-out ones when they get back, rinse and repeat). Definitely play on Radiant, it isn't even 'Easy Mode' it just reduces grind and it's loving great unless you're a masochist. Also don't get the DLC until you're already familiar with the base game (and know if you'll like it), it adds one new hero who's fairly OP but otherwise is all expert-level content and it will wreck your poo poo if you're just starting out.

Unbalanced posted:This line of thought is incredibly stupid and I really hope you don't view the world this way. To be fair there definitely are creators who insert their creepy fetishes into their works with no real justification (see Piers Anthony for a well-known example), and this fits all of the typical signs: it's not foreshadowed at all and comes out of nowhere, it doesn't match the tone of the rest of the game, and doesn't add anything of value to the story. Like I'm not saying for sure if the creator is a rape fetishist or if he's just trying way too hard to be edgy, but 'heres a whole bunch of rape right in the middle of this generic platformer' doesn't say good things about him regardless.

Infinity Gaia posted:I got it too, and MAN this game is really hard. I've only ever managed to get to like the fifth map on one adventure with one character. I can't seem to ever get ANYWHERE with the wizard while the ranger just wrecks everything. For the wizard I have to admit I cheated in one run just so I could get a FEW items with him, but by pure happenstance I got an almost-complete set of great items: all 3 fire spell sets, the pyromancer robes, firestones and salamander pet. He went from being the worst character by far to my favorite once he became an unstoppable living firestorm (that occasionally either self-destructs spectacularly or has to let enemies maul him for a turn or two). Almost all of them are in the Dwarven Mountains (Mountain Pass - Old Mines - Mushroom Caves - Dwarven Caves - Dwarven City), and I think the last piece is in Undead's Burnt Town, if you're interested.

cerious posted:UnderRail is $6, go buy it Underrail is a game that I WANT to wholeheartedly recommend, but honestly it’s slightly hard. I WANT to say it’s like Fallout 2 got a proper sequel, but it’s more like a Fallout 2 sequel done entirely by one person, with all that entails. Mechanically I feel it’s very solid, there are a wide variety of enemies that you can kill with guns, knives, sledgehammers, fists, bombs and psychic powers, and a huge amount of feats make each of those play in a fairly unique way. There’s an involved crafting system that you might enjoy if you’re a deranged sperg like me, or can be ignored entirely. There’s a wealth of side content: a bloodsport arena to become champion of, a war between fascists and anarchists to become involved and a West of Loathing is sort of it’s mirror-twin: it’s mechanically nothing to write home about (combat is painfully easy if you’re a wizard, painfully dull if you aren’t), but features easily the best humor I’ve ever seen in a video game. It’s full of great, well-thought-out puzzles: dealing with an infuriating ghost-bureaucracy, exorcising a hellish pickle factory, finding the dark secret of a creepy carnival and purifying your bowels 1800’s-style. It also has a running joke involving spittoons that might be my favorite sequence in a video game ever. Even with the mediocre combat I have no problem wholeheartedly recommending this one, you owe it to yourself to check it out!

Ragequit posted:It's Thanksgiving! If you PM me a message with what you are thankful for (as well as include your Steam profile), I’ll pick a few good ones and send along a little something from your wishlist. The deadline is 12:00 AM CST, which is three hours from now. Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not, I hope you all have a solid weekend and are able to spend some quality time with family and friends. This has been a pretty rough year objectively - my best friend developed terminal cancer and my mother (who I take care of) has had increasing difficulty speaking and making simple decisions. However, this has also really shown me how lucky I am; so many people lose loved ones suddenly, without a chance to say goodbye or get closure, and yet I've had a great deal of time to spend with the people I love and just be there for them. Losing them might be painful, but I'm so loving lucky to have even have them in my life in the first place that I all I can feel is gratitude. I get to hang out with a friend I deeply and truly love, and spend Thanksgiving with the best parent I could have asked for; how many people get to say that? Here's my steam profile, but you don't have to get me anything, I just wanted an excuse to type that out.

Turd Herder posted:Drats that one I really wanted too. Why is it a mess? MASSIVE, totally unreasonable amounts of grinding. Like you'll see a gun you want, but it requires three Golden Whatevers. Golden Whatevers are a rare drop off a very difficult boss, so you have to kill this boss like ten times (and die a whole bunch in the process) to get a single gun that's only a moderate upgrade of what you currently have.

BexGu posted:Finally looking at picking up Witcher 3: Game of the Year Edition and I know every one goes on about the story but how is the combat? Would it fix that "Lets kill some big monsters in a Action RPG" itch that Dragons Dogma did? Aside from not climbing all over monsters the combat is pretty similar, I definitely prefer it over DD. The game also uses plot recaps to disguise loading screens, so at very least the main plot won't be that hard to pick back up. Definitely get the Show All Quests mod though, it can be easy to forget about sidequests in an area unless they're on the map.

FastestGunAlive posted:Any recommendations on turn-based strategy (fantasy genre)? Preferably where you can actually move troops around for combat. I've got Fantasy General in mind but not necessarily an exact copy if such a thing doesn't exist. Not interested in Dominions and I found the King's Bounty games to be incredibly dull and shallow. Not looking for smaller scale tactical/strategic RPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics. I've got Sovereignty: Crown of Kings on my wishlist but opinions are mixed If you've never played Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (get the gog.com version) then try that immediately. If real time with pause instead of turn-based combat isn't a deal-breaker then Total War: Warhammer is loving fantastic. Otherwise I think the best you're gonna get are fantasy 4x's (Age of Wonders and Endless Legend), but both of those left me pretty cold so ymmv.

Kevin Palpatine posted:so how is the telltale batman game? or did no one play it lmao By the end of episode 3 I was thinking 'I would probably be having more fun playing anything else' and the first half of episode 4 did nothing to disabuse me of that notion, so I just uninstalled then and there. Like Season 1 I liked some of their ideas (reversing the Joker/Harley dynamic and making her the badass criminal was a nice touch, or at least would have been with better writing) but the execution was poor at best. IMO their worst sin is that they spend way too much time making Joker out to be pathetic and incompetent to then turn him into a credible threat (it was his 'I'm EVIL now!!!' scene that made me give up and move on), but then again I feel the same way about Kylo Ren and some people apparently love him

Yeah, I don't think Starbound is complete garbage or anything, in fact it's pretty close to being great! The only problem is that the main dev consistently makes the worst decisions possible - removing fun stuff like sand-mining and the good grappling hooks, adding in pointless grinding everywhere, nerfing all the actual sci-fi stuff (guns, jetpacks) in order to get people to use the lovely melee - and his bad decisions and hatred of fun nearly counteracted the work of a lot of talented people who worked on the game. It's too bad you can't play it without giving Chucklefish money, but the same is true of Stardew Valley, so

Im_Special posted:Hows Torment: Tides of Numenera? It has mixed reviews, is it worth jumping to the $15 tier for it? Much like PS:T, as a traditional RPG it kind of sucks. Class balance and progression is garbage, the combat system never even comes close to reaching it's potential and quickly becomes repetitive... I could go on, but I won't. Also like PS:T (although to a lesser extent) it's much better if you take it as a storygame with an RPG clumsily attached. The characters are pretty solid, the worldbuilding is fantastic and you're encouraged (and occasionally even rewarded) to accept failing a quest instead of reloading for a 'better' ending. Just make your character a Nano and take Mind Reading and the ana-something skill, the stuff you get from those two are some of the best writing in the game and they're things the game should really give you for free, much like Pet Pal from Divinity.

Evil Mastermind posted:Man, I was really enjoying Tesla vs. Lovecraft until I hit the Etherial Docks level, at which point it turns into unfun bullshit. The solution to that (and every) level is to die/reload over and over until you get the Repeater Shotgun and Hasty Reload x2 or x3. There are things about Tesla VS Lovecraft that I like, but the balance is definitely not one of them. Whether you succeed in a level comes down more to what weapons and perks the game gives you then any degree of skill. It's one thing to have the earlygame weapons be kind of trash (which only really applies to the Shotgun), it's entirely another that almost all the defensive/utility perks are pure loving garbage and only there to prevent you from getting too many damage upgrades.
