Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:It's not a coincidence that the thing you most want to buy is the thing not on sale. True, but what's weird is that the "Complete Edition" is on a super discount as well.

I missed the days when Valve made videogames.Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:But it's still not cheaper than the DLC - you're basically getting the main game for 50 cents if you're willing to pay for the full-price DLC. drat Souls series with its legs!

Is Cosmic Star Heroine any good? I remember it getting a lot of hyped but it released and...nothing.

Beelerzebub posted:I already own them. I'm actively awaiting the release of the Zero translation. The Last Remnant was good when I played it a few years ago. Lisa is a good "not Mother" type JRPG. Buy Xenoblade on Nintendo eShop then emulate it on Dolphin is another suggestion.

One more question about Prey, is the map design like System Shock 2 or Bioshock?

FanaticalMilk posted:I never played it, but from the quick look that came out a while ago, it looks like a good game that is maybe held back by its limited budget/the fact that this is the team's first game. Thanks. Frog Act posted:Imo it is much more like bioshock except for a few segments, and also the space segments Samuringa posted:It's very open-ended, although the main story does nudge you through a specific path there are multiple ways of accessing whatever goal you're trying to achieve. I just really enjoyed System Shock 2's labyrinth liked design.

Naar posted:Did you try the demo? I thought it looked good from the store page, but didn't enjoy the demo at all. Koburn posted:D&D is a clunky mess, try the demo first to see if you can put up with it. I enjoyed the demo. Just wondered whether or not the game gets long in the tooth.

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:Definitely get Trails in the Sky. Cold Steel is definitely not as good as Sky, but it is not "total poo poo, refund immediately". Yeah. Cold Steel isn't bad but from my time with it it was just another JRPG. Sky on the other hand is something special.

Dungeons & Darkness is fun as long as you can get passed the horrible combat. But even then so that kind of makes it appealing in a way.

Xaris posted:iirc they're working full-steam ahead for a launch this fall. I purchased it already but have been waiting to really dig into it until launch, but it supposedly totally playable I brought the game for like $2 when it was bundled with literally like 80 other games years ago.

Too Shy Guy posted:Aquaria is a gorgeous, sprawling one set under the ocean, and Odallus is a retro dark fantasy one that'll definitely push your NES Castlevania buttons. I've reviewed both if you need convincing. Blast from the loving past. Aquaria was like the first ambitious 2D indie game ever. While the game is certainly nothing special today, it was amazing for its time. Especially since the only other 2D game with such effort was Odin Sphere. punk rebel ecks fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Jun 27, 2018 |

Prey reminds me of Metro 2033. It initially released to disappointing commercial and critical acclaim, but overtime garnered a strong cult following.

Bad Seafood posted:Prey's name probably did it a bigger disservice than anything, which is kind of a shame since (in a vacuum) Prey is a pretty cool thing to call your game. I thought it was a reboot of that weird mediocre Native American FPS with vagina doors.

Samuringa posted:Unless I missed something the critical acclaim for Prey was huge from the start, it's just that nobody actually expected it to be System Shock 3. The game averaged 80 or so. Which is considered "good" but not "great". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(2017_video_game) Bad Seafood posted:Yeah, but it hurt the game's image a bit. If you were a die-hard Prey fan you were mad they just repurposed the IP, and if you weren't a fan but were vaguely aware of it, you might have assumed it had something to do with the old game and ignored it until told otherwise. I mean...THAT Prey was seen as mediocre. Reminds me of Ubisoft and Red Steel 2.

They should have called the game "Shell Shock" or "Status Shock" or something similar.

So Prey is awesome and is literally what I wanted "story focused" FPS to be. Very little hand holding, lots of freedom, very atmospheric, punishing if you aren't careful, etc. It really is System Shock 3. Though to be fair, I still prefer System Shock 2 so far.

Shadowrun: Returns was pretty cool for the first couple of hours. But then gets insanely boring. The game is also linear to the point where it's almost a JRPG. It scared me away from the series to be honest.

Lorini posted:Steam to provide steam spy alternative. Developers were using SteamSpy for market research but now Valve says they plan a replacement. Hope it's still open to players as well. SteamSpy was fantastic. But this will be pointless of it isn't open to everybody (e.g. first time indie developers).

What are people's opinions on Steam's storefronts floodgates? Do you mean more with the "let everything through" train of thought, or agree more with Jim Sterling that the storefront is a giant wastepit that needs to be cleaned?

Get Witcher 3 from GOG so the developer gets more money. Also, you actually own the game.

Is going against enemies in Prey suppose to be so tough still 8 hours in? It seems I'm always low on resources taken them out. Does this game take the Metro approach in terms that you are almost always vulnerable?

Evil Mastermind posted:Have you been upgrading all your weapons, or focusing on one or two? Because I've found it's better to stick to one or two and max those out. Plus, don't be afraid to get powers. Psyshock + upgraded shotgun is a great combo, as is shotgun + combat focus. Yeah I've been upgrading shotgun and silencer. But I often only have so much ammo. I mean the game isn't that hard, I was just wondering if it's suppose to mirror Metro in terms of combat, or of I'm playing it wrong. Edit - I'm at Gunsmith 1 and have two psychic attacks unlocked. I've unlocked Hacking the most as I'm about to unlock Hacking IV. punk rebel ecks fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Jun 30, 2018 |

Zereth posted:Do you have Combat Focus? The damage bonus it gives (it might require upgrading it past the base level) helps a lot. Turrets aren't great but collecting the local turrets and setting them up in the same spot can help you save ammo by luring enemies into them. Oh poo poo. I gotta try this. Thanks.
