Quick question, can I ask for a refund for two DLC's? I bought them now for a game I had for years but I'm regretting it already.

DLC is refundable under the same rules as games. If you refund it within 14 days or under 2 hours of playing, you should be fine.

Thanks, I'll go for it then.

I assume that some people just had a cool idea for an XCOM spinoff as a chance to try new themes/gameplay mechanics. It’ll probably be pretty short and not as varied as mainline XCOM, and for $10 that seems fine.

So, an XCom version of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon?

Unless this is a ruse to give away copies of Bad Rats.

Just curious, I'm replaying the first Prototype on pc and while the movement powers feel good and tight, I find the combat and certain mechanics somewhat annoying and I have an itch for something better. Sadly I don't own a PS4 but it's good to know about that Spiderman game.

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.



I wish I had more time this week to give it a whirl, but I'm a tryharder and a full playthrough of Dredmor's Going Rogue in non-NTGR takes so much time to complete.

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.

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.

Yup, even with NTTG they are a huge slog, even though at that depth you get showered with amazing items, so at least you have the chance to improve your gear at least.

Well poo poo, I don't think I can be bothered to compete against that because that's a lot of time to go that deep.

And then you get killed by the boss in a few turns unless you've optimized your character build to work against him.

Dredmor run completed.

Decided to go with a straightforward wizard build relying mainly on psionics for damage (sweet sweet pyrokinesis) and decided to use astrology for the first and capstone skills, also throwed in Bankster in just for fun, never completed the entire tree and haven't played with it since insurance fraud was nerfed into oblivion. Bankster turned to be pretty useful, hedge fund is an incredibly potent defensive passive ability and money was never an issue, even thoug it would have been more useful in normal mode.

No time to Grind, Going Rogue, permadeth, no mods.

Build: Psionics, Bankster, Fleshsmithing, Astrology, Blood Magic, Leylines, Mathemagic.

The hard part of a build like this one is surviving the first four floors, if you do, sans extreme bad luck or being careless/impatient, you are probably going to win. I'm gonna be honest, I decided to pick this build because I wanted something that could complete the game as fast and possible and no crafting skills means I didn't need to bother with inventory management too much.

For some stupid reason the game started crashing often in floors 13 and 14, it was incredibly annoying and had to redo the same monster zoo three times. Decided to skip diggle hell and Vlad Diggula entirely, my main skill is fire damage and Diggula has a bazillion fire resistance and just didn't have enough holy damage to spare. Also skipped all pocket dimensions codes and mysterious portals, too much risked of getting stranded due to bugged maps.



Final stats before entering floor 15. Pretty decent magic power all things considered.



Encountered Lord Dick lurking next to the stairs. Look at that life, holy crap.



The fight itself is fairly simple, just keep teleporting away and throw poo poo at him until he dies. The most damaging attack in the game against Dredmor if you are a wizard is pearlescent wands, because he has crap holy resistances and the damage scales with magic power (extra damage to undead). Each cast did more than a hundred damage. Sadly, only had one wand. Sonic wands and holy hand grenades are also really useful.

Defensively speaking, I was fine, decent magic resist plus 50% damage reduction from Hedge Fund+a massive instant heal spell for 3 mana is pretty good.



gently caress you Lord Dredmor.

Finished my replay run of Shadow Warrior (2013), man, what a great game, my only regret is that you can't play with the fully upgraded sword from the beginning, I know it would make the game a cake walk, even in insane difficulty, but it would be a fun time.

I bounced off that hard in my current backlog speed run. I beat the first level but it just seems to be lacking what I loved about Doom and Prey.

Like Alien Rage. The game is gorgeous and I want to love it but the controller bindings were hosed and even on the lowest setting I was getting wrecked. I'm just not good enough at the classic hard FPS to enjoy what looked like a blast of a score attack arcade FPS.

Honestly, I doubt I could ever enjoy this game with a controller, the real meat of the combat system revolves around the sword and ki powers, which seems too messy with a controller, though I'm a classic pc gamer guy, so I may be kinda biased there.

You switch characters every 2 chapters; there are 17 or so, and when you're close to the end you'll get the option to switch at phone booths.

Pretty close to the end of the story you can swap characters at any time; until then you're locked to whoever you're currently playing as

So for once the answer really IS both yes and no! :v:

Ok, I thought I'd be able to switch at will soon after the first couple chapters as a kind of an extensive tutorial. Seems I was wrong.

No side quests are missable, progress away! You might be locked in as another character or in a new area for a while, but that's it.

Is there an FPS that goons recommend? I miss headshotting Nazis in the early CODs, but a lot of modern shooters feel a bit kinda bullet spongey.

Call of Juarez:Gunslinger, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Shadow Warrior (2013) are all good, thematic and filled with comedy, also they are relatively short too. However some enemies in Shadow Warrior get bullet spongey towards the end though.

Agreed, Arena is the most affordable modern magic game. Legends of Runeterra is also another good candidate for online TCGs.

Anyone has played Dragon Ball Z Kakarot? I've just finished watching Dragon Ball Z Abridged (by Team4Stars) and enjoyed it so much that I want more. I heard combat is fairly similar to Xenoverse and I found that pretty enjoyable except the targeting/camera against multiple opponents, which was a nightmare.
