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.

I played a lot of a game on my boo's account (remote two player thing) then I bought the game and it doesn't run well on my computer. They don't want to refund it. The steam app records me as having played it for many hours but I only played the copy that i bought for ten minutes. Other than that we were playing on their copy. Is there any further recourse with them?

Is steam gonna let me install and run games on a second PC? It's a virtual PC, and I already tried this through Nvidia Geforce but I'm going another route. It will look like account sharing to their servers, I think... will I have a hard time?

Yo, what's the best pool game on Steam for an IRL pool player? I want to play one-fifteen rules, so it would need customizable rules or manually spottable balls, and internet two player. I doubt any game would have one-fifteen as one of the default games.

Oye, can anybody help me remember a game? It was a 2D top-down survival game set in the Scandinavian wilderness. I played it like five years ago and it was probably at least five years old at that point. It looked like it was from circa 1995. It was a gather stuff, make camp, kill moose, don't freeze to death kind of game. I just played Wayward, which kind of reminded me of it.

tildes posted:UnReal World? It’s from literally closer to 1995 but has been developed continually since then, and is set in Scandinavia. http://www.unrealworld.fi/ That's it, thank you. What an unfortunate name! I tried to google it but didn't get it because it suggested unreal world but I thought that was like unreal tournament or something. And, poo poo! It's been out since 1992 and there's still no co-op mode?

I'm a very picky video game player and I've been trying to find something I really like after going through Divinity OS2 a number of plays. Middle-earth shadow of war is quite a pleasant surprise, I really like it so far. Even though I'm not a particular aficionado of the genre or Tolkein. It's like a spider-man game, really. The very free movement feels fairly acrobatic (which IMO is a rarity in non-2D games.) It might be kind of a babby game for people in this thread since it's very you know, mainstream, polished, and accessible--not even too hard on hard mode--but I'm sold on it largely due to the basic mechanics of moving around being fun. It's a breath of fresh air after the punishment of Dark Souls III, where you can't jump off a stepladder without dying and you can't get anywhere from anywhere.

Cardiovorax posted:It pretty much is, yes. The Middle-Earth games and especially the Arkham Batman games share a lot of DNA with each other. It's personally one of my favourite games of its generation, I spent a lot of time loving with orcs and figuring out better ways to gently caress with orcs. I don't know why, but it really bothers me that the main character is a fairly stout guy, when with that movement he should be like a tall guy with a swimmer's body or a female rogue-type.

It's a relatively short game, however. I think it took me less than 30 hours to complete. I play em for the combat.

Gromit posted:Saoshyant gifted me a copy of Yoku's Island Express and I just busted out a quick couple of hours to give it a test run. The game is high-effort and stuff, and unique, so it seems like a big missed opportunity because there are no pinball physics at all. Pinball serves only as a theme, not as gameplay. Bummer. - This extremely picky gamer echoes all recommendations for Into the Breach. It's basically one puzzle, where you place markers around a small grid, and try to move or destroy the AI's markers. The board could have been made as an 8x8character ASCII display--I like that simplicity--with enough chesslike forethinking (my brain stops at weighing two different combinations of three moves) to keep you very engaged. I only just got it but the level of challenge seems chef's kiss. I'm usually thinking "Ah hell yeah I'm nailing it" for a while, then the "oh god dammit!" comes and game over. The package is pretty polished and tight in my opinion. Plug in your controller, it's better with controller.

GTA 5 has really good driving mechanics, but the car air control mechanics present in prior titles are amped up to way over-the-top levels and car damage is cranked way down, just a few of the unfortunate ways single player was compromised for GTA:O. Overall it's probably the best casual driving model ever. Why not make the multiplayer better for multiplayer and the single player better for singple player

OgNar posted:I was completely disappointed with it. Yeah, I mean I was gonna pay $60 anyway later, so it didn't matter if I just bought it now. I agree that the camera is garbage. I'm frankly worried that they'll be able to fix it at all. I'm sure they would have foreseen that the camera would not agree with the high-verticality battle design, so maybe we can hope that they've been developing a camera for it while using DS2's camera as a stopgap? I dunno.

pentyne posted:I bought the EA and played it right away, not really impressed all that much, but the game still doesn't release until at least oct 2021, more likely 6 months after that if their previous EAs were any indicator. I think it's worth doing EA just to figure out which class you like. They're all real different. I would never have gone with a fighter to start but I think it's the most fun. If I had chosen a cleric and been stuck with it for an entire game it would not have been fun.

I usually like magicians but the consumable spell slot system turns cocks into capons. I've learned about DnD rules from the game, and... well, god. I'll start complaining if you let me. Trying to make a video game by a tabletop game's ruleset is a fool's errand. They're doing a good job, though! Like I said, I'm a big fan of the game.

Can somebody give me a hand with my Switch pro controller? It stopped working when I rebooted. Device manager does not recognize it. Control panel does recognize it. the "test" bit lights up like Vegas like I'm smashing all the buttons. Shadow does recognize it as a switch controller but Steam in shadow sees an Xbox One controller. SCRATCH THAT, now Shadow recognizes it as an xinput controller and Steam in shadow still sees Xbox1 controller. I tried disabling and enabling in control panel, rebooting and all that. I tried updating the drivers. If I get in a game in Steam-in-Shadow, it responds to the sticks and 2 of the buttons. If I play a game in Steam on my PC it works fine. edit: it sorted itself out. again. for now. again Mescal fucked around with this message at 07:50 on May 19, 2021 |

Sailor Dave posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1029780/Going_Medieval/ Hey, thanks for posting this. What's this genre of game called? I've never gotten into one before, but I'm really feeling this one so far. Should be really nice when they sand the edges off. I dunno who chose the hotkeys but... anyway, I'm liking it. Y'all should check it out. Re: saints row iii remaster, I've been playing and enjoying the original release for the first time. It is hella fun! It's like... this'll sound dumb, but it feels like an indulgent throwback to a golden era there never was where having fun was the one and only goal of video games. How refreshing! For the remaster, job one would be making it so your character goes in the direction you point when you're running around. The pedestrian control system is frustrating in a firefight. And: "Press Y to use human shield" presses Y "You have chosen get in car. Your car has exploded. Your corpse is in parking lot."

Hey, guess what it broke itself again. It works on my PC but not in Shadow my virtual PC. Using steam in both. Tried disabling controller support in steam, didn't make a difference. Dead Cells seems to think that I'm pressing keyboard buttons when I press controller buttons, though it does recognize that I have a controller connected. I've been having intermittent problems with my setup since I set it up, and never actually solved them--it just ends up kind of working eventually, then ends up breaking eventually. If you help I'll give you a code for one of the crappy bundle games I haven't activated! Edit: okay okay it's working again now, after I opened shadow through steam then disabled steam controller support in shadow's steam, which I might have to do for every single game now?

How do I shaman in Shadowrun Hong Kong? I was able to summon a spirit once in the tutorial... I think I clicked on something in the environment but I don't remember what it was.
