Does the new Batman ep run better than the last season? I enjoyed season 1, but having to change my desktop resolution to load it was mega dumb.

Hellblade is really reminding me of Ryse*, but done right. It's a pretty unashamed graphical/tech demo, but with pretty great writing and excellent art design. Senua is probably the best performance I've ever seen in a videogame character. It's next level mocap and facial capture. It's pretty goddamn spooky. I guess the game can really crank the graphics as it's on rails though. *I kinda liked Ryse as far as pretty but mindless games go Necrothatcher fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Aug 12, 2017 |

Synthbuttrange posted:The only thing I know about enslaved is in the post mortem for the game, there was a writer asking why the hell the lead character was such an rear end in a top hat and the designers being surprised because they thought kicking slaves to death was him being a badass. It's not a post mortem. The game's writer, Alex Garland, saw some preproduction cutscenes and said they really needed to change this if they didn't want their lead to be an rear end in a top hat. There's no slave kicking in the game.

So basically Valve is a gravy train for long term employees who get paid eye-watering amounts to gently caress around and produce nothing. And they're terrified of someone new ruining that. I mean, I can't really blame them if they've got the opportunity, but it's a bit sad.

Adding my praise to the Hellblade chorus - the game rules rules rules. Also, is there a dedicated Crusader Kings 2 thread about? I've searched and can't find it. Decided to properly, finally learn how to play... and it is not an easy ride for newbies. Resigning myself to loving around and learning from failing at the moment.

Random question - I've got a load of non-Steam games in my library that I've manually created shortcuts for. If I get a new PC will those non-Steam game library entries show up on another system? I don't really care about the actual game data and I can fix any broken shortcuts when I need to, but it'd be nice to keep the library list the same.

credburn posted:The Steam library is stored on the cloud; as for your custom shortcuts, those are stored locally. I'm not sure where, but I'm pretty sure it's called something like shortcuts.xml and can just be copied over. Steam makes backups of this file, too; occasionally, after an update, it will replace the shortcuts with a new one and erase all the custom ones. Ta, found it. It's a file called shortcuts.vdf in Steam/userdata/*account number*/config, which appears to just contain all the custom shortcuts I've set up. I'll back that up.

He's not the guy that got Zynga into being monetize nonsense. But drat, have you seen Telltale's sales figures lately? The new season of Batman is currently at 20K Steam sales while the spin-off season of Life is Strange is on about 250k. Telltale are pretty much dead in the water and they've overpromised big time to their many, many licensees.

DatonKallandor posted:Consortium is pretty awesome. James Bond in Iron Man power armor is a great player character, especially since you're not playing him, you're playing yourself taking over his body with no information about the universe. There's lots of fun dialogue and you can even do a Gordon Freeman run ("..." is an option for every dialogue and you can also just let the response window time out) and see what would happen with a silent protagonist. Some wonderful fuckery ensues because certain characters know or might know that you're actually playing a game from a different reality, and one of them can even override what your character says against your will. It gets very meta quickly - at one point one of the characters hears the game's soundtrack playing and recognizes it as video game music because it's jeremy soule. The murder mystery is also quite good and meshes well with the pseudo-time travel you get from playing the same day over and over. I love it when you hear about a cool sounding game and go check it out on the Steam store, only to realise you already own it somehow.

I'm playing Tomb Raider II on Steam and running into all kinds of difficulties, but I think I've mostly wrestled it into a playable and alright looking state. The one thing I can't work out is how to get an X360 controller working with it. TR2 is dinput only and as it's a Windows 95 game you can't fudge it through DOSbox. I've set up Joy2Key (my usual workaround), but while it's definitely working (the pad buttons type the keys in Notepad), it won't work when I actually load the game. Does anyone know if there's programme that'll emulate dinput from an X360 controller, or why Joy2Key won't work with this game?

StrixNebulosa posted:Weight limits are legitimately awful, though. Why? You just end up with a jumbled inventory with like 60 swords cluttering up the place if you disable it. Weight limits force you to think about what you're carrying around and sell what you don't need. And it's not like stuff you actually want to have on you like alchemy ingredients or key items weigh anything.

I'm playing through Back to the Future now and I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying it. You're right, they really nailed the tone and the voice acting is amazing. Christopher Lloyd as 'Citizen Brown' in EP 3 is the best vo I've heard in aaages.

No sensible defaults set for my DS4 pad, and if I remember right, I couldn't even figure out how to map the start button in the game to the start button on my pad, so I couldn't get past the title screen. Admittedly, I have a talent for finding and toggling a setting that screws everything up without realizing it (configuring Dolphin was fun).  This was from Sonic 4 ep 2 with a 360 Controller plugged in. V useful, Sega.

Would it fix that "Lets kill some big monsters in a Action RPG" itch that Dragons Dogma did? The combat in Witcher 3 is at worst competent. I actually had a tonne of fun with it, though I went with a signs build. Setting people on fire never got old. Also bombs are super fun.

There's a tonne of non-Steam games I've added manually and I don't want to add them all again. Not at all bothered about transferring game data/files. Can easily redownload them on a fast connection.

Thanks to Xander77 for Chroma Squad. It's your basic tactical RPG / TV show production type of game. Essentially you're trying to make your Power Rangers TV show the biggest hit on television. This means hiring actors, crafting costumes, purchasing equipment, hiring a marketing team and dealing with legal challenges. Then, when you actually get down to filming the episodes it feels a bit like a very simplified XCOM. I'm playing on 'Interesting' difficulty and am at the end of the the first season. It hasn't really challenged me yet - though the enemies and bosses I've faced off against haven't been particularly tough. I kind of miss the elevation and intricacy of XCOM's maps - Chroma Squads are essentially big flat grids without much personality. However, synchronising your attacks is fun and I can see that the skill trees are going to have some neat stuff to play with in a couple of levels. I'm not a huge Power Rangers/Sentai fan so I think a lot of the references are going over my head, but the game's got a neat sense of personality. It's not laugh out loud funny, but it is kind of amusing. If it stays like this I think I'll power through to the credits. Thanks again for the gift!

Jesus loving christ the live-action TV episodes in Quantum Break are total garbage (plus they have hideous diagonal screen tearing for some reason). Is it safe to skip them from now on and understand the plot? Also I laughed that I was the only player amongst my Steam friends (which is mainly people from this thread) who chose the 'evil' option in the first decision point. C'mon guys, you're playing the ruthless bad guy - embrace it!
