Rolo posted:That looks to be it! Anyone recommend it? It’s not really that much like Battlefield in practice. It feels closer to Hell Let Loose or ARMA or Red Orchestra or something. The basic conquest set up from Bf is there, but the game play is way more “realistic”/slow-paced. It’s fun imo, but in a very different way from shooters like battlefield.

Junkie Disease posted:My only gripe is last boss blows My gripe would mainly be that I want to play everything but the bosses on hardest difficulty, and the bosses one rung down from that. Also the boss fights rely on adds more than I’d like. All over it’s definitely a great coop game. I really like the mechanics in general.

I'm very late on this, but A Short Hike was really good. Especially given that (1) the world is a bit depressing and (2) you can't go outside much, it was really ideal. Such a chill exploration of a small open world with pretty satisfying traversal mechanics. You're basically a bird who goes on a short hike, as the title suggests. Would definitely recommend -- it's maybe 1-2 very pleasant hours in total.

Are there any mods for gen zero? Some of this sounds fixable with relatively minor tweaks the devs might just not be up for. I’d probably give it a try in coop either way since there are just not that many coop games, but it does really seem unfortunate how this ended up going.

space marine todd posted:Thanks for all the recommendations! I asked about point and click games mostly because my wife's internet speeds aren't that great where she is at so FPS games/games with lots of motion wouldn't really work. Just piling on here at this point  -- but I think that A Normal Lost Phone, Observer, The Room games, or Return of the Obra Dinn all might be good. They make it really easy to work together on a game even if you aren't both actually connected, and since they are mostly set up as mysteries you can sort of talk through what you want to do/figure out the mysteries.

My only issue w remnant is that I would have really liked a way to play everything but the bosses on nightmare difficulty, but then do bosses just on hard. I think that would’ve been the ideal balance for me- the adds just got to be too much on nightmare. Such a good game though coop imo.

OzFactor posted:Remnant question: I just got through the first boss (it was Gorefist and it took me a while but I got him by just being really patient and only shooting at him when I was sure there were no poison bubble dudes left). After jumping over a railing in the next area I apparently unlocked a new trait which gives me... +1% speed jumping over railings? You want me to spend a trait point on that? xp >>> hp and stamina are best initially imo. Eventually more involved stuff gets unlocked, but those three help so much. The game isn’t really about leveling up the traits imo- they are not a super thrilling part of the game.

The other interpretation would be that it is selling poorly on steam because it sold so well on EGS so everyone owns it already. Ofc there’s no particular reason afaik to think one is more true than the other, but I could see people posting from both angles as a result.

Gort posted:Another game that gets it wrong is Wasteland 3, where you can make as many characters as you like. Skill points are a limited resource per character, and you can put them in crafting skills, or in combat skills. This means optimal play is to have some dudes back at base with all the crafting skills who you switch in whenever you need crafting done, while your team that actually does poo poo has nothing but combat skills. Weapon and armor mod skills never come up in dialogue, so it is best to have a character at home for those two skills. That said, those are basically the only skills this applies to, and you can basically ignore both of them if you like. Still an odd decision though. I would definitely go back to it once coop is stable for you, it's great to play through coop. It does do well on the dialogue checks too -- it uses the party member's highest value.

Anyone into shooters should try out Sector’s Edge. It is a free multiplayer PvP FPS that just released into early access. The hook is that all terrain is destructible, and you can build/dig while fighting (if you’ve played Ace of Spades, imagine building sort of like that, but attached to a much better game). It opens up really fun strategies like flanking someone through a wall in the middle of a fight, and gives a ton of variety to the maps since the geometry can end up so different match by match. On top of that, it’s just a really well made shooter. Gunplay is great, movement is fluid, and it has a ton of nice quality of life features already. It really just ticks all the boxes for what you’d want a game like this to do, and player population has been solid enough that I haven’t had to wait more than 30s for a match. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1024890/Sectors_Edge/

nordichammer posted:What do you think some of the best rogue likes are? Dead Cells would be an obvious recommendation following Hades I think. Basic gameplay is just super good though there are some weird design decisions if you’re trying to go super deep into its higher difficulty levels. The meta progression is rewarding, especially early when it lets you unlock new areas (tho once you get into the aforementioned very high difficulty it starts to drag). I’d still definitely recommend it on the strength of its basic gameplay- its a master class on how to make combat and movement feel incredibly rewarding and fluid. These two are maybe not full recommendations, but at least worth checking out I think: Undermine is solid but sort of unremarkable imo. Top down, go from arena to arena as you explore a mine. Hits all the marks you’d expect from a roguelite. Meta progression is sort of fun? Atomicrops is a fun mix of a top down bullet hell where you explore and loot during the day, and then go defend your money making crops during the night. It’s meta progression is super minimal though imo- I don’t think that’s a strong point for it. (Also an aside but Slay the Spire is not really RNG dependent until you’re at higher ascensions!- I felt this way at first also, but once you get the hang of it the game starts feeling much more controllable. I’d maybe try coming back to it after awhile and giving it another shot. I put it down for like a year and then came back & asked questions in the thread and it really clicked for me after that)

buglord posted:Ever since I joined SA I stopped looking at journalist game reviews. All I do is basically look at these forums and the steam reviews to get an idea of what the game is like. The latter has the added benefit of floating useful reviews to the top so I can see any dealbreakers which might affect me but not others. TBH I've had zero luck finding anyone similar on Youtube, so if someone has reccs I'd be interested too.

It is really good though. Not sure what the rough stuff was in reference to, I think it’s one of the best coop FPS games out there right now. The puzzle vaults are pretty straightforward once you get the hang of them, albeit a bit silly game design wise.

Kadorhal posted:I figure this is the best place to ask: what's a good controller with a worthwhile D-pad to use on PC? I got a Steam Controller when they were discontinued last year but the way it works means it doesn't work with most of the games I actually wanted to use it with. The Sn30 Pro+ is good! Also gives the bonus of a wireless option and working with a PC, switch, whatever. Haven’t used an Xbox one controller but other Xbox controllers’ d pads are definitely not good so I’d be a bit skeptical?

Mescal posted:I'm looking for a roguelike/dungeon crawler to play online with my boo. Nothing too complicated with too many numbers and stats and stuff. No character creation. No continuing story or human-designed maps. No worrying about whether my ice bonus on my lightning character's laser sceptre does aether frostburn damage on undead dark-types while parrying a reverse buff-burst. 2d or 3d, but 2d is usually a lot tighter gameplay for me. I'm not a serious gamer like my boo is--they play fancy stuff and my favorite PC games are Spelunky and Stardew Valley. If you use the program Parsec or Steam Remote Play you can play local coop games online very easily. Would open up your options.

There's a dramatic high level hack that makes your target literally point their gun at their head and commit suicide, and it's super cool and brutal and an instant kill, but it bugged out for me in a fight recently and a guy just put a pistol to his head and shot himself and it did like 500 damage out of his 10k healthbar and he just went back to fighting me. It was kind of disturbing! This is incredibly metal tho

pentyne posted:3/4 of those games were only a couple hours long. Aside from the real deep ones, like Witcher 3, Guijan 3, and Yakuza, everything else was just a few hours here and there since January. I only beat like 2-3 games a month on average, and that includes things like Tacoma & Shardlight I could finish in half an afternoon. I think it’s a joke about all of the games being a few years old- the list does look a bit like the greatest hits of the past 5 years. I feel like I should go track down and play some of these too now tbh, I’m realizing how many I totally missed when they released.
