Or just killing everything in the Mako cause for all of ME1's good parts and flawed parts at no point is it a hard game. E: Granted I have not played it on the further difficulties but I also don't know why on earth you would play an RPG-Shooter on "Make fights take ten minutes" difficulties so maybe it's not a me thing.

Mordja posted:Was EYE a fluke? Anyway, my money's on Darktide for 40k shooting. I feel like we should be clear, and should have been for years now that EYE is a bad game. It's inscrutably designed, from the maps to the systems, most of the guns are not actually any good, even allowing for the translation the story doesn't make sense. I love EYE because it's a nightmare morass of weird nonsense, but I think "Wait is Streum On actually bad at making games?" has a pretty easy answer.

Mordja posted:I mean, whether or not the guns in EYE are "good" as in even slightly balanced or whatever, pretty much all of them are fundamentally satisfying to fire. Like, I just went and watched a weapon video and even the most basic pistol has a bassy kick to it. Gay Rat Wedding posted:EYE is the worst game I've played in which I have triple digit hours and which I thoroughly & earnestly enjoy. I mean I'm still gonna play Necromunda without question but I think it's maybe less of a surprise that Deathwing and maybe Necromunda are kinda not great, basically.

Omi no Kami posted:How is Scholar of the First Sin? I liked vanilla DS2 fine, but I've heard that apparently a lot of StFS's remixing relies on gank squads and difficulty for its own sake encounter design? It has a couple bad places where it feels like a bad romhack; Earthen Peak and the opening half of Iron Keep are both miserable but more than enough of the game is changed well to be worth your time if you like DS2 in the first place.

twistedmentat posted:Doesn't Scholar of the First sin change the placement of a lot of enemies to be less bullshit? Some less, some more. It moves a lot of enemies around, adds a few more here, takes a few away there. It makes a few solid changes to item placement, streamlines a few things that make more sense than they do in vanilla (why on earth is this here? kinda things) and integrates the DLC into the main game by placing the DLC keys into the world rather than put into your inventory at the start. I think Scholar is inarguably an upgrade to vanilla and there's very little reason to play vanilla now that it exists but it's still the question of if that's worth another $7.50 or whatever for a game you already own.

Rebel Blob posted:To set the record straight here: Ironworks Studio is the product of Vince D. Weller, who was involved with the old Fallout fan communities, No Mutants Allowed and Duck and Cover, but who was most heavily tied to RPG Codex. You can probably learn all you need to know from this old RPS interview with him. Development of Age of Decadence goes back to at least 2005, before even Oblivion was released or Bethesda bought the Fallout IP. It was basically driven by the disappearance of classic cRPGs and long before the modern reemergence of the genre. I like that the list of things he was involved with gets progressively worse.

I said come in! posted:Wait, is this on the PC version too? How do you unlock it there? Same method if you just plugin a controller? It is, I believe the equivalent M&KB binds would work but yeah that too. There's an arcade machine in the game for it.

I said come in! posted:Reading up more on this, the arcade machine is pretty late into the game. So there is some effort there. Hopefully fans can just strip out the files though and create a proper port that doesn't require Homefront Revolution to play. That'd be nice and hopefully not DMCA worthy but I wouldn't count on it depending on how it's in there.

Revolution was actually good, not even "pretty okay" just legit good. Had some problems and the Far Cry outpost style world got kind of same-y by the end but it's fun. E: Also Second Sight literally just came back to GOG and Steam yesterday or today so THQ Nordic might actually be moving on those licenses now.

As a fan of Hitman I enjoy hiding in dumpsters before murdering a lot of people. You should definitely try the port when you get there if you do play it again, I think from what games you've said you've enjoyed in here you'd probably enjoy it.

A good poster posted:April 10th is the one-year anniversary of the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake on PS4. What are the odds Square will announce a PC release date within the next week? Is the Intergrade version on PS5 going to reset the usual 12-month exclusivity window to start on June 10th? The good money was on a years exclusivity but AFAIK they also haven't said any official word of that at all so it could be within the next week and it could be months yet.

If you like it it's worth it. Elex is an insane, weird game that is very firmly in love or hate territory. It doesn't have an incredible ending or anything for you to work towards but it's fun.

You're not wrong, Wargroove is a bad (in a long line of them) Advanced Wars clone.

FuzzySlippers posted:Wargroove wasn't bad but it was just mediocre enough that I got too bored to continue playing. It looks pretty though.

The thing that gets me about Days Gone is I still don't understand why they hired Sam Witwer, who can act and then asked him to phone it in as hard as possible. But also it's extremely funny that technically you're playing Starkiller in the zombie apocalypse.

Ragequit posted:I got the ARPG itch after watching Diablo 2 Resurrected gameplay over the weekend. Does Path of Exile force a lot of cash shop business in your face since the game is free? I figured I would finally give it a shot with the new expansion today. If the menus look like a mobile cash shop game it'll turn me right off. At least last I played any significant amount (mid-2019) it didn't surface the shop at all, except for the occasional button in the bottom corner of a couple menus.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Hey, gun sounds and hit reactions are some of the most important parts of an FPS. Deathwing's are dogshit, and that's why that game is bad. Black carried an entire game on gun sounds and moderate destructibility. Deathwing is bad for a host of other reasons and while I agree that gun feel in an FPS is important - god knows I've whined about it enough in the Steam threads - I think that's really sweeping Deathwing's many other problems under the rug. And that's what makes me just a tiny bit apprehensive about Necromunda (no the other one), Streum on has a long road to travel to prove that EYE isn't a fluke or a bizarre series of collisions of good things sandwiched between very bad. Still interested though.
