I'm almost finished with my Dungeons of Dredmor run, still in the middle of floor 12 though. Even with No Time to Grind and skipping a lot of content it has been pretty tedious.

I almost never play action combat games but I enjoyed AC: Origins and one moment made me giggle myself stupid. I was sneaking up on a group of baddies who were just hanging around near a lion cage. I shot the lock off the cage door and the lion sprang out and attacked them. They fought it fiercely but it killed almost all of them. The lone survivor killed the lion with his spear, and then raised both his arms in triumph, and in that moment I shot him through the neck with an arrow. I'm sure most gamers do things like that all the time but I never had.

Spiderweb Software opinion time Avernum: fun but frustrating. I wish it were slightly more linear because I go to any area, get my face kicked in, go "okay later" and then repeat until I find the one low-level zone where I can fight and level up a bit. And it's next to impossible to gauge what level things are, so everything is either too hard or just right. Also the inability to click-drag the map is a pain. At least the setting is cool and it's fun to find things. Queen's Wish: now THIS is what I'm talking about. Now that I'm into the groove of the plot it's really fun to find these dungeons (that aren't too big) and kill things and learn more about this awful island. The skills are fun to play with, it's fun to explore, and it's just a lot of fun.

South Park the Fractured But Whole Haven't seen a game's attempt at humor age so poorly so fast. The combat was a nice attempt at a srpg style with what looked like amazing vairety and customization, but all the jokes and references to the later South Park stuff like PC principal just were not funny in the slightest. I laughed maybe 3 times during the entire game and for a lot of the game it seemed like they just padded out what they had with meaningless grind. I probably missed a ton of stuff since the overall game tone ended up making me not at all interested in most side quests or collectathons, but if it was like what I did see during the main quest then I really doubt it was worth a look. After the police sidequests I figured if that was their bar for humor then I was better off just powering through the game. It's a shame, the first game I remember as actually enjoying, a lot of the early non-political South Park stuff has held up better because its just juvenile gross humor with an edge. Maybe the DLC is better, I can't really be bothered to check by the end the game just reminded me of everything negative about South Park in the last 10 years.

GrandpaPants posted:Is there a game similar to Dungeon of the Endless? For some reason that game is just really fun to me, with the mix of Roguelite + TD + RPG elements, and I want to know if something else exists that is comparable or if I should just wait until Dungeon 2 which may or may not ever come out. Honestly, I've put a bazillion hours into DotE and I've yet to find anything that feels quite like it. It doesn't help that, like you said, the game is a weird mix of roguelite, tower defense, team "hero" management (with light RPG elements?) loot...thing. I think we're currently poo poo out of luck.

So am I just late to the party, or did Helltaker suddenly explode in popularity overnight? I started seeing a bunch of art with #Helltaker, on Twitter, and I thought it was some new anime. Then Steam gives me a popup that says '<Steam Friend> is now playing Helltaker'. I played through it (it's free). It's a Sokoban style game where you have to solve in a limited number of turns. It's not very long, but the last couple of puzzles are pretty tough, and there's a final boss where the game changes to an arcade-style sequence where you have to dodge and destroy chains while not taking too many hits. Overall, it's pretty cute, and it's not a huge download (around 300MB)

The artist was already a pretty popular Twitter artist, it's free, and I've seen non-English-speaking artists pick up on it. And yes, it has demon wifes. Getting a following seemed fairly inevitable.

Even with No Time to Grind and skipping a lot of content it has been pretty tedious. scaling for the extra 5 floors isn't implemented very well and they mostly become a slog. I recommend just leaving them off once you've seen them once or twice. things start to take a tedious amount of time to kill, there aren't enough new items to fill another 50% of game so you end up seeing a whole bunch of repeats, your build is basically already complete at that point so there's not much room to expand, and a lot of the diggle gods aren't worth it so they don't spice it up much. The diggle gods floors would have been better implemented as random replacements for other floors you get over the course of a run that's otherwise the same length.

So, I've been playing a lot of a Chinese Rimworld clone about Cultivation. Not crops, think more like the scale and culture of a Shaolin monastery, but they're all Super Saiyans trying to become higher level Super Saiyans. It's called Amazing Cultivation Simulator, and it has an English translation mod on the Workshop, and has an official translation currently in testing. It's got a super intricate system of training your guys. They start out as mortals, members of the Outer Sect, who do conventional training and run all the chores for their seniors. Then you get your Inner Sect members, who train under one of five starting manuals, with more discoverable throughout the game. The Inner Sect won't do any mundane tasks, but they also don't need to eat since they can absorb the qi energy in their surroundings, so long as the feng shui is in order and their meridians haven't been damaged in spiritual combat or due to overdosing of medicinal pills, which accidentally became too powerful because you stored them next to your ancestral spirit tree, oh and heaven throws lightning bolts at you on occasion for daring to become even stronger. I'm currently at the phase where I've graduated from kidnapping mortals/sweet talking strangers who are lost in the woods or were running away from wolves to expanding the influence of my Nyaa has an LP thread for the game running, which introduced me to both it and the cultivation genre. Surprisingly fun, if formulaic, reads. Highly recommend folks at least wishlist it while waiting for the official English translation if they liked Rimworld. While the mod is good enough, it doesn't translate most of the tutorial prompts.

What's the gamepad to get for action games and American Truck Sim? I picked up a DS4 but I'm having a hell of a time getting it to connect reliably, either through bluetooth or through cable + ds4windows. I'm not sure if that's a known problem.

A Xbox One controller it's the default controller almost every game supports, you can use it wired with USB cable if you want. Get some rechargeable batteries to go with it ideally. Assuming you're on Windows 10, it doesn't require any drivers or anything, just plug it in or use bluetooth. https://smile.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Controller-Black-one/dp/B01GW3H3U8 Though looking at that link rofl, it looks like most of the colors are over retail price right now. The first one I saw at the correct price was the red one. And I only paid $40 for mine 2 years ago. Cinara fucked around with this message at 09:29 on May 28, 2020 |

Either go for an Xbox One pad or an older 360 pad. Do give the PS4 remote one more try using Steam Big Picture mode, whenever DS4 Windows doesn't work that tends to.

You shouldn't need DS4Windows when using Steam any more. In fact, it's likely to cause issues. Try just using it cabled with Steam. E: Sorry, missed last post. DS4 is good for Truck Sim though in that you can program the extra buttons it has over the X Box pads.

360 or Xbone controllers should work with any game with controller support from like the last decade without having to do anything. PS4 controllers are going to need a program to make games think it's an Xbox controller for most games (Steam actually has this built in, but it may require some setup), some games have PS4 controller support (even to the point of showing PS button icons), but not many. If you get a 360 controller, know that you either have to buy a wired one or a wireless one and you can't just plug a wireless one in to make it wired (no, a Play & Charge kit doesn't transmit controller inputs over the wire, it only charges). Also you need a 360 wireless dongle if you go wireless. The Xbone controller on the other hand is much simpler. If you plug it in it will work wired and if you get the current revision then it works over Bluetooth, the launch version requires a dongle like the 360 controllers.

Interesting. So far I have found that most games with some controller support (presumably for Xbox controllers) work pretty well for the Dualshock, but the sensitivity is sometimes off and things like the gyroscope are mapped wrong. Glad Steam makes it work at all, though. At one point I had an Xbox 360 controller, before it developed a case of exploded batteries. I think the main thing the DS4 has over an Xbox controller is the touchpad that you can use as a mouse, and while that would be terrific for a few games where you really need a cursor sometimes, it's not that useful in general.

Yeah, the standard XInput drivers were made for the 360 controller, and Microsoft have always had an eye on the PC market for obvious reasons. They haven't always been the best at it, RIP GFWL nobody liked you, but they've always had an eye on it.

Glad Steam makes it work at all, though. Steam makes the DS4 look like a generic controller, just one with more inputs (touchpad can be a mouse plus 4 buttons, gyro is awesome for aiming). There's a lot you can do with the Steam controller software, worth digging into. I used DS4Windows very rarely now - mainly for Cemu to play BotW with gyro aiming. Be sure to plug the BT adapter, if you're using one, into a USB 2 port with line of sight to the controller if possible. USB 3 ports cause wireless interference that may or may not be very bad depending. I used a cheap old USB 2 hub to put the controller into and out the hub under the table where it can't be seen.
