I like Dishonored 2, but I'm not very good at it.

- gently caress Clockwork Soldiers
- C-Spam mom never has anything useful to say, I kind of want to put her out of her misery in advance
- For about two whole missions I got sleep darts confused with stinging bolts and was getting angry that they weren't working

I just started this the other day and I made the dumb decision to do a No Alerts/No Kills/No Powers playthrough first. I guess that'll make my kill everything and find all the collectables playthrough all the more satisfying.

Never do a gimmick run on your first dishonored play through. That’s stupid and insane. You’ll hate the game. If you get spotted, use the many tools it gives you to get away. Why would you decide to ignore most gameplay mechanics your first time playing? :psyduck:

I did mention that it was a dumb decision.

But you didn’t you changed your mind and decided to not play the game in a way intended for people who had beaten it like twice already.

Where did I say I changed my mind? Are you referring to me saying I was going to do a kill everyone playthrough? Because that hasn't happened yet. I'm still working on the first playthrough.

Sorry I'm not playing the way you think I should, but I did just do three different playthroughs of the first game and decided this was what I wanted to do first.

Are Dead Rising 3 or 4 worth sticking on a wishlist? I absolutely loved 1 and had a lot of fun with 2, but my understanding is that 3 & 4 largely move away from the optimization and time management in favor of more generic ubisoft-esque open world stuff?

At least with Dead Rising 3 there is Nightmare Mode which makes it more like 1&2. I would recommend getting it.

Honestly, don't bother with 4.

There were apparently remakes of Ultima 5 and 6 done in the Dungeon Siege engine that I never got around to playing, but I always kind of wanted to. But now the engine is so old that I can't really go back to it and would rather play the original versions of the Ultima games instead.

I'm just waiting for Koei to announce Samurai Warriors 5 to see if they're going to iterate on the DW9 style gameplay or keep with the old style.

That and announce Dragon Quest Heroes 3, but only if it has Sylvando.

I remember spending like 15 bucks on a four pack of Terraria years ago and even though I haven't played it in years its still some of the best value I've gotten out of a game. I'll definitely reinstall it when that update drops and see all that has changed.

I was really wowed when I called a summon in Final Fantasy XV and it razed the entire forest I was fighting in, but then it turned out that they just applied a “smoldering embers” texture to all the trees and when it faded in thirty seconds or so the forest was all pristine again.

It says my first three games are Counterstrike, Team Fortress Classic, and Day of Defeat. 3 games that I got for free when I entered my cd key for Half-life. Pretty sure it also gave me Blue Shift, Opposing Force, and uhh Ricochet.

Just asking here because it's the de facto active PC gaming thread-- can anyone help me remember the name of the old early windows game (probably came out between 1995-2000?) top-down view driving game set in a futuristic city? You played as a female character, and I think it had the oldschool shareware episodic structure -- you drive around a futuristic doing overhead combat missions in hovercars, and I think the structure was a little bit like GTA 1 & 2 where you could just sort of gently caress around in the city between taking on missions at specific locations. Pretty sure there were illustrated character portraits that would pop up on the screen during dialogue, and that your "home base" was a bar for most of the game.

So Dragon Quest Builders 2 is 30 quid over on GMG at the moment. I'm guessing it's worth it? I haven't played any of the other games in the series except about an hour of Dragon Quest 11 but I'm guessing it's totally standalone? Is there a lot of JRPG combat or is it mostly building stuff?

It has a pretty big demo that goes through the first story island if you want to check that out before pulling the trigger.

The only sub services where you actually keep the games forever to my knowledge are Humble, XBox Games with Gold, and Sony PS+ but those last two are obviously console only.

I'm not sure on Xbox but at least on PS you lose access to the games when you're not subscribed, so you don't technically have them forever.

I had the problem where my controller would randomly disconnect and what fixed it for me was

1. go to device manager

2. right click on USB driver under the Universal Serial Bus controllers section

3. click on Power Management tab

4. uncheck the box that says Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power


Hope it works for anybody else having problems.

I loved the Surge 2 but I rarely give a poo poo about the stories in the soulslike games. It was all about how loving satisfying the directional parrying was. And to a slightly lesser extent the whole "see a weapon or armor you like, target it and get it" system instead of hoping for a random drop, but that was in the first Surge too.

I really got to play that game. Dontnod are the kind of insane creatives who, if some corporate suits just lasso and controlled them, would probably be putting out AAA GOTY caliber games on a regular basis.

Instead all their games are 75% brilliant ideas and 25% straight up dogshit, with some minor exceptions. Remember Me is one of the best takes on cyberpunk dystopia I've ever seen but it's wrapped up in a real lovely combat system with pretend parkour movement. The key feature of the game, where you can hack into peoples memories and "remix" them to change them entirely to now be on your side was intensely chilling to watch and see the results of.

Huh. I had no idea what that game was about. I guess I got it in a Capcom bundle like 7 years ago. I might actually give it a try now.
