I'm going to have a lot of trouble dividing my time between playing this, exploring more of Slime Rancher (I just discovered the ancient ruins aaaaa), and playing BattleTech

I'm starting to get the sense that this new God of War is something I should actually be playing, though all I can really get without watching a video is the BOY thing so I don't even really know what genre it falls into

Is there any even remote faint hope of seeing it on PC or is it a total exclusive

Gah I shouldn't be asking this, I have Slime Rancher, Atelier L&S and BattleTech to be playing

my only complaint so far i guess is that poo poo takes a while just from a pure ui perspective, like fades between menus and scenes and suchlike

but I guess that's unavoidable

It's a gacha RPG, yeah. Though at this point it's so popular that they do free draw promotions basically all the time (also because most of your power progression in that game is grinding weapon drops instead of character acquisition).

Thanks. Shame, the art style is appealing but the gameplay seems relatively nonexistent :(

Not nearly as much as Bank of America though

20 years ago i went in to my bofa branch to withdraw cash from the teller to go buy a couple games, not having a credit or bank card yet

go to buy the games, the clerk takes one look and says 'uh that's a counterfeit fifty, bro'--and indeed it was

That game looks super cool. Does the Early Access feel like a full game or is it basically a paid beta?

outside the odd typo it feels very technically competent, if that's what you mean

as gameplay goes i can't answer because I'm still kinda overwhelmed, but that's more on my anti-sandbox nature than anything else

someone itt asked me yesterday what i thought of Space Traders: Frontiers and if it felt really early access, I think I can finally reply

while the universe is big with plenty to do it feels vaguely repetitive, the uniqueness of one dice roll vs another or one card game that is the same as another is entirely by e.g. calling one Spying and the other Patrols

despite that i have been playing for about 20 hours since buying it about 30 hours ago and haven't wanted to tear myself away for reasons i can't entirely articulate. maybe it's the lizard part of my brain that appreciates numbers going up because goddamn there are a lot of numbers in it, and the connections between the numbers are detailed well enough to give you a sense that you're still surely, if slowly, driving toward a larger task and greater things

i haven't checked but i would not be shocked to find that the devs are tablet/phone app developers either former or present, because boy does this game's interface have a lot of unnecessary clicking unless you learn a hell of a lot of hotkeys


anyway i've been playing that captain for a total of about 20 hours, the starting ship is fully upgraded, i'm the Golden Boy of my starting faction in all matters trade and political, and I just realized I'm on the "wrong" difficulty setting (oh by the way that's really adjustable) so I have to start over

Ciaphas
Nov 20, 2005

> BEWARE, COWARD :ovr:


conclusion: yeah it's early access as hell, a bunch of talents outright say "NOT YET IMPLEMENTED" like a default NYIException catch or something, some typos, the ui is doofy, it can be a little slow if you're travelling a lot, and i frankly have no idea if the plot missions are compelling or balanced or whatever because i got annoyed at the writing and ignored them, but

Star Traders colon Frontiers is my gotm for may 2018. namaste

I wish someone who knew what they were doing would make a Star Traders: Frontiers thread because the game seems like it would be amazing if I had any idea what I was doing. All the steam guides seem to assume you've been playing early access for a year.

The only thing stopping me at this point is time, laziness, and fear of making a Bad Thread
