I can recommend Hades as a good podcast game, though it can be a bit too intense to fully zone out of.

A Sometimes Food posted:Ugh I thought I was current. Uh new topic, anyone playing Stoneshard? Reaaaaaal early but pretty promising top down rpg. So like if you've ever plaed Dredmor or Dungeon Crawl or Nethack and thought "I like the rpg poo poo in here but kinda wish someone made a handcrafted dungeon crawler with it for a change" that seems to be where it's going. My understanding is that the only thing that's handcrafted is the prologue dungeon. Everything after that is procedural.

Orv posted:"Odyssey with snow" could actually be really good. I suppose my issue is the lack of major landmarks or towns. I don't want to return to the trees of AC3. Though as its subtitled Valhalla, maybe it will lean more into the supercool mythical stuff from the last two games.

What are some of the better games with that sort of gameplay loop? Zompiercer entered Early Acess recently, so maybe keep an eye on that.

StrixNebulosa posted:- you still have to dig in tiny squares, going down means carving out 2 tiny squares at a time so you can go down one unit. Takes forever. Are you using the smart cursor button? Its finickity without it but with it on just automatically digs a hole at your width/height.

Awesome! posted:hades has story stuff before your run, not so much during it. you can just run past it if you want. Also you only really encounter it once, its not repeated. Griftlands looks like you'll be going through the same story stuff every run.

Did they ever fix the thing in Vampyr where if you try to skip a single piece of dialogue it skips the entire conversation until a different character speaks? That always seemed really bizarre to me, far more annoying than the combat.

You really need to name which game you're talking about, because its confusing as gently caress. I started searching Steam for Artificer Rogue, thinking it sounded like an interesting Roguelike.

While Titanfall 2 is better, I always thought it was a bit of a shame Infinite Warfare seemed to be so overlooked. Its even got its own friendly robot who sacrifices himself for you.

Cardiovorax posted:Well, there are also like a million of them and they're all basically the same game, that limits possible conversation about it I imagine. It's not the kind of thing where someone stumbled about it out of niche interest and tells other people about the neat thing they found. If you buy a CoD game, you know what you're looking for and you know what you're getting. And Titanfall 2, developed by the guys who made CoD truly massive, is different because? As reply said, the reason it comes up so often in this thread is probably mainly due to discounts.

Nefarious 2.0 posted:gonna take a wild shot in the dark here and say giant robots I was talking about Infinite Warfare, which has giant robots, space battles, zero-G stealth missions, and optional campaign missions that give persistent upgrades. I just thought it was a shame its written off as just another CoD and doesn't get mentioned anywhere near Titanfall 2. Plus, you get to smash Jon Snows teeth in.

Ciaphas posted:Yesterday someone mentioned Starcom: Nexus. Looked like a game I might enjoy, but it seems a little too heavy on the combat for what I want. Starcom Nexus is fantastic, but I really wouldn't compare it to EV, Star Traders or Starsector. You're basically a lone ship in a completely alien galaxy so its very much about exploration rather than missions/trading. It is fairly combat heavy but if you've ever played a twin stick it won't be too tough and there's no time pressure. You can always back off and upgrade your ship to take on difficult foes. Closest comparison would be Star Control 2.

Cardiovorax posted:To expand on that encounter, it apparently continues with an Intelligence check that will instantly kill you if you succeed at it, unless you also succeed at a Wisdom check right after. That just seems like bad design to me. Sounds like its trying to do a Disco Elysium of "Not all failures are bad" and failing spectacularly.

You get the obvious actiony stuff with the various Souls and Witchers or depth with turn-based-tactics games but I don't really remember a top-down ARPG where the combat was actually fun since, well, Diablo 3.

twistedmentat posted:Any spooky games that can be recommended to keep an eye out if steam has a sale on them? I'm interested in more exploration and investigation than survival, that is more about environment than jumpscares. Also nothing with a mechanic where you have to maintain some resource. So nothing like Outlast, its basically everything I hate about horror games. Soma and Layers of Fear. No resources IIRC. Soma has some monsters that stalk you, but they actually patched in a safe mode if you don't want to worry about them.

exquisite tea posted:Translation is a bit sketchy That's a bit of an understatement. I doubt a native English speaker looked at this. Edit: Also, it feels like it wants you to start investing skill points in specific weapon types straight away, with improvements having zero crossover between them. Just let me level up strength, don't make me choose to raise my attack power in swords only to find out I hate the style. The dual swords special ability is right at the end of the tree, how do I know if its crap to use? Fatty fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Oct 15, 2020 |

800peepee51doodoo posted:Anyway, if for some reason any of y'all have gone this long without playing Immortal Redneck yet, its currently two whole dollars on GOG and it owns. Immortal Redneck is well worth 2 bucks, especially if you like Doomguy style zipping around. In a similar vein, Ziggurat 2 entered early access recently, and I was surprised at how polished it is already. Enjoying it a lot, and this is coming from someone who bounced hard off the first. Spells will always have worse gunfeel than actual guns though.

That said, I loved the game

Is there any reason why I shouldn't beeline max hacking and break in to every building and computer I see? Will the game ultimately give me reasons to do so?

Gamerofthegame posted:inherent problem with non-jedi games is then you're just shooting the same clone/droid/stormtrooper forever with the same gun that goes pew To me Star Wars open world screams bounty hunters, and there are plenty of ways to jazz up that combat/progression. Given the insane popularity of The Mandalorian it seems like a no-brainer. Though, I think there may have been numerous stalled developments so far. Not even counting the linear Bounty Hunter game for PS2.

AfricanBootyShine posted:What happened to the dungeon crawler genre? I remember a few years ago there was a revival with Legend of Grimrock and Might & Magic X, both of which I really loved. I tried LoG 2 but I lost interest in it after awhile because of the lack of direction- I'm open to restarting it, but when I look at other games, they seem like they're for grognards who love the Wizardry series. Vaporum: Lockdown came out recently if you want an industrial style Grimrock. Its kind of got an active-pause combat which I much prefered to Grimrocks bizarre multi-headed character cooldowns. Can't comment on the first game. Theres also Starcrawlers which is more of a turn based party RPG.
