I bought Dying Light and the season pass for Christmas and had a blast. I just started The Following DLC and man am I disappointed. Way bigger map but oh look - you have to drive around in it with a vehicle that slows down a ton when you hit zombies and then they can hit you, and if the tough ones show up they jump on the car and kill you unless you can shake them off, which never happens as you're too slow for that to work after hitting them. I also didn't realise that my grappling hook being usable more then 3 times in a row was a thing that was activated for a Christmas event, and not like that all the time. This blows - grappling around the map like spiderman was actually fun and made me feel like a badass. So while this DLC is more zombie killing, it's worse than the first game due to an unfun car you have to get around in. I'm hoping that as you improve it (or maybe get a better one later?) it becomes a Mad Max battle-wagon that eats roadkill without slowing down, but I'll be surprised.

Cardiovorax posted:You can mod that out of the game very easily, just check the Dying Light nexus. I hate the stupidly easily breakable hookshot too and god rid of it as soon as I could. Yeah, thanks - I did look around for mods but nexus wants me to register in order to download a 25k file. Something about that annoys me, but that's just me being a baby.

Gobbeldygook posted:Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes: Great game, but requires complete focus and neither of us knows Morse code. For Morse code, I recommend using a decoding tree like this one. When you hear a dot move left and down, and dashes move you to the right. So dot dash dash dash is J, dash dot dash is K, for example. Much quicker to decode if you don't actually know it by heart (and pretty much no-one does, statistically).

SirSamVimes posted:So the two people in this thread who disagree do not exist? Yes, that's the point they were trying to make. If you counted all the people with an opinion on the oiling system, the percentage that shared that view was essentially zero. I've not played the Witcher 3, so I assume the oiling system gives stat boosts to penetration and reductions in chafe rolls.

tripwood posted:I dunno, I am a huge SS2 fan and it ticked off a lot of good boxes for me. The audio in System Shock 2 was amazing, and is probably the thing that makes me love the game the most. The processing they did on Shodan's voice was just perfect. I started playing Kentucky Route Zero and am up to Act 3 or something. Sometimes it feels like an adventure game and other times like some sort of visual novel. I don't really know if I'm just stumbling through it by luck or actually making the right choices. It's in that weird zone where I don't know if I can recommend it to someone or not. But it's a good one to stream to my TV so that helps.

aas Bandit posted:I might have missed it previously in the thread, but a new gameplay teaser for Atomic Heart came out a couple of days ago. I've been looking forward to this for quite a while...kinda makes me think "Stalker on acid". Thanks for the update news - this game is so my jam that it hurts. It ticks just about all my gameplay boxes, what with the Soviet-era scifi aesthetic and off-the-wall surrealism, as well as that slower-paced methodical exploration. Having the character mutter "blyat" under his breath is just icing on the cake. There's obviously a lot of content, but I wish they'd post update news a bit more regularly so we can be a bit more confident that it will actually release beyond a tech demo. I also loved the look and feel of that "Routine" game from a few years ago and it just disappeared into nothing. Gromit fucked around with this message at 22:18 on Feb 8, 2020 |

StrixNebulosa posted:Dying Light: World's stupidest main plot, but the sidequests are really fun and often funny, mixed with the best parkour in video games. The idea of night getting really drat dangerous is a great one, and I like leveling up as I run around. That said combat feels really weak and awkward (even leveled up), and as zombies get more skills and types it becomes less fun to navigate. Whatever. I'll put more hours into it and have fun. I've got 67 hours in this and enjoyed it a lot. But a couple of things: 1. When I started playing I didn't realise it was the Christmas event, which gave you infinite grappling hook and much reduced fall damage. When they eventually turned that off it took me ages to get used to the way the game was supposed to work. In the end I installed a grapple mod that let me spiderman my way around the maps again, and all is right with the world. https://www.nexusmods.com/dyinglight/mods/265 2. Once I finished the main quest I performed a bunch of item dupes in order to max out my skills so I could maximise my feeling of being a zombie killing machine (you can find rare items that you trade in for a lot of XP - dupe up a few thousand of those and you're good to go). I'd completed almost all the quests so it made sense to just max everything out and get back to killing. I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtnawhd2_20 It's a bit fiddly the first few times but you get the hang of it pretty quickly.

OzFactor posted:So, Anthem is $9 on the Humble Store. I know it's not great and my understanding is that it's very over-mmo-ized, but $9 to me is the level of "can it be fun for 10 hours?" I just want to fly around and shoot things. I really enjoy ME3 multiplayer and Destiny 2, would I find it fun at all or is it just a total dud? The flying is wonderful, to be honest. I got it for free with my graphics card and enjoyed it for what it was, but yeah it's not a great game. I think you'd easily get $9 worth of fun out of it, even just by doing all the solo stuff. The loot is dull for the most part, but I had fun just zipping around and trying to hit all the watery bits to cool the suit and keep flying.

I don't know why I like them, as they are almost all universally dire when it comes to the story (I'm either a lady detective or a magical princess). Every time I have to solve a bead-rolling puzzle in order to open a door I wonder what the hell the people who live there do when they come home a little drunk. It's bad enough fishing your keys out of a pocket when you're three sheets to the wind.

anilEhilated posted:I had fun with 3 but the rocket wingsuit DLC is mandatory. Yeah, that's a fair call for Just Cause 3. Team up the rocket wingsuit with the EdenSpark weapon and you just cruise around flattening things at a whim, which turns out to be a lot of fun. I enjoyed JC 2 and 3, and am playing number 4 now which really feels like a step backwards. Lots of extra mechanics that get in the way of fun (but can be mostly ignored at least). There's now no reason to blow up all the chaos objects, ffs! Grappling around in the wingsuit and parachute is still fun, though.

pentyne posted:What about the glitch or whatever, something that made it impossible to get 100%? Looking at my achievements I have all of them relating to finding and destroying stuff except the one for Scavenging Locations, so perhaps that one is broken? Should I have written "100% as best you can"? Anyway, 53 hours in it according to Steam so that's not bad value. However, I really enjoy games that let you cruise around the map at speed looking for stuff. Assassins Creed got tiring for me because map traversal was so slow. Dying Light had the grappling hook and you could Spiderman your way around at a decent rate of knots. And for Subnautica, it was all about the Prawn grappling. Swinging from tunnel ceilings, boosting off little outcroppings. Whee!

And the whole game was an excuse for some wild set pieces - runaway mining equipment, robotic dinosaurs, walking down skyscrapers.

Ugly In The Morning posted:I’m doing a contest with a game most of you likely already own: Dungeons of Dredmor. Giving out two prizes, and you can win both: You got me to reinstall after not playing for many years and this was my pitiful first attempt. I was handling everything fine until I found a portal to another dimension and 2 evil clones one-shotted me. They lured me in with weak enemies and the excitement of the mystery lever. My skills were Wand Lore, Fleshsmithing, Artful Dodger, Burglary, Perception, Rogue Scientist, and Archaeology. As a poor orphan, Wendy grew up stealing from the rich folk and using her free time to put rat golems together out of the bits the other children wouldn't eat. Her keen eyesight allowed her to watch a movie marathon through the window of someone's house and the Indiana Jones series got her interested in archaeology. She entered the Dungeons of Dredmor as either a massive fortune to pay for therapy or death were the only options to wipe out the memory of The Crystal Skull. e: hahaha, same thing happened again with a score of 8532. I really overestimate my skills here. \/ I will take this sage knowledge seriously from now on! Gromit fucked around with this message at 09:11 on May 25, 2020 |

Still a fun game that's only a few hundred meg to install, but you really need to read up on what everything does online to get the most out of it. On the plus side, I killed 4 of those evil clones that one-shotted me before. I mean, I didn't stand around to get smacked so I don't know if I had better defence, but I ruined their poo poo with wands and magic.

A friend bought a bunch of us the starting ship in Star Citizen many years ago, back when it was all new and hyped and all you could do was look at your ship in the hangar. Since then every 6 months or so another friend suggests we give it a shot as "there's actually game stuff you can do in it now!" We spend ages updating the install, and then have to fumble our way through a giant FPS map to find our ships, get in one and fly to the the surface and then get bored and go back to playing something fun. It blows my mind how this scam didn't just end with Chris Roberts and his buddies skipping the country and retiring.

I'd better give that pot-plant a good wrenching just to make sure". I do love those grenades that eat everything around and spit out resources except when I was standing just a bit too close one time. I mean, that goes for all grenades really, but those seem particularly unpleasant. Should I be using all my resources for anything in particular? I can make weapon upgrade mods, and that seems like a great idea but I don't want to use up all the bits if there's something better to craft.

SirSamVimes posted:Play MO: Astray. Hollandia gifted this to me but it crashes immediately when I try to start it. The game said it needed 5.5GB to install, and properties of the install folder say it takes up that much. However, it lists it being 553MB when I go to download and the time it takes to download makes that pretty much right. Are there sparse files or something that it populates when you actually run it for the first time, or is this an issue I should look into? It gives me a crash log but it's hard to know what is useful information in that.

If anyone has the game installed, do you have just 2 items in your Steam install directory? I have MOAstray.exe and a MOAstray_Data folder (with loads of stuff in it). Is that how it is supposed to look?
