>>

Mainly indie stuff. Dustbowl, Runespell Overture, Environmental Station Alpha, etc. Can't say I'm terribly impressed with any of them, but they're cheap and at least somewhat interesting. I would always rather play something flawed but interesting than hyper-produced AAA dross.

Trails in the Sky: First Chapter and Second Chapter. Play them in order, otherwise you'll be lost story-wise. Incredible games if you're in the mood for a deep slow-burn story.

Fairy Fencer F is supposed to be one of the better JRPGs on Steam, but I can't tell you much more than that.
>>
>>318138621
Pillars has a good story. Just because you're incapable of reading longer passages doesn't undo that. The story isn't great, it's not as good as Baldur's Gate's story, but overall it's at the very least competent and serviceable.
Which makes it better than D:OS' story.

Already got it. Actually, I stand corrected. One of my favorite games in recent times is Invisible Inc., and that is polished as hell, and has very few flaws.

Okay, you're on the lookout for interesting games and like Invisible Inc..

Have you heard of Renowned Explorers? It seems like a novel and refreshing adaptation of 4x and TBS concepts. As a plus it has relatively short campaigns/games, they're supposed to be like 4 hours long each.

It does come heavily recommended, and I'm currently trying to decide between it and Invisible myself.
>>
>>318139118
That's certainly true, it does have flaws, but I still think it's one of the best RPGs in recent times and a pretty good revival of the classical CRPG. It needs work, and I haven't tried the DLC myself, but it's still a good game.

I was gonna buy duck game and borderlands the presequel, both are games I know I would enjoy, but not enough to justify their price tags, and honestly? even on sale i don't feel like it's justifiable, they're still too much.

it's not even about actually paying for them, since i've got 140$ in my steam wallet from tf2 garbage, but something about even wasting fake money still burns me
>>
>>318139354
Damn dude you missed out
It was 5 dollars a few months back and $1 as part of a humbebundle a few months back as well
>>
>>318139231

I have it on my list. I tried Curious Expedition while it was free a while ago as well. Pretty fun, albeit a bit too random for its own good. Still worth a look.

As for Inc, I heartily recommend it. I got it on the recent sale with the dlc, and it was worth the 14e.

Great game desu senpai. It's like if ftl and xcom had a baby. None of the stupid 95% chance to hit and then miss either. Every level feels like a puzzle where you know there's some way to get out alive if you play right.
>>
>>318140282

The core gameplay is really enjoyable, if you like turn based tactical games. The levels are proceeduraly generated, which leads to some jankyness and sameyness, but nothing unwinnable or gamebreaking. Very little RNG otherwise (there is not to hit % etc.). the difficulty is fairly customizable, you can easily find what's appropriate for you. The presentation is great, although it would greatly benefit from a bit more dialogue between team members.
>>
Bought Elite: Dangerous just cause it looked nice for a space game.
>>
>>318140760

It's a kind of game that would greatly benefit from having a bigger budget. The core ideas are really solid, it just needs more content (more hand crafted levels for example). Definitely worth the money though. It's what indie games should, instead of endlessly recycling retro platforms and fotm youtube fodder.
>>
>>318141028
Speaking of more content, how's the DLC, been meaning to pick it up?
>>
>>318141203

I bought the game with DLC included, so I can't really say. More items, longer timeframe, some new agents.

If you own the base game you get a discount on the expansion, so if you buy the base game now you pay the same amount of money as if you bought game + expansion on Horizon's release.

It makes no difference money-wise.

It's literally Euro Truck Simulator in space. Even Minecraft has more content than this game, and the fact they're tagging the addition of planets as an expansion, priced as high as a top AAA game, instead of patching them in like they were originally going to do, is reason enough to not support them.

I've had the game since day 1 being a fan of the old elites and i can tell you it feels like an early access title, it looks pretty but there's no substance to it, even Freelancer had more depth.

Hard West is fun as fuck.

Really considering GTAV.

It reminds me of 3 and I really liked 3 and VC. Kinda thinking of getting 2 and playing with the GF, but not sure how multiplaye works, or if coming back to GTA after so long if it will feel fresh. Never got into Saints Row, liked Prototype, JC2 was good but everything looked the same.

The sequel improved upon the first one a lot. Firstly, most of your shit actually hits now. Meaning that it's more about tactics than what the RNG feels like that turn.

>>318144097

Literally, not at all. I played through the first one, and I noticed a few re-occurring characters who happened to survive the last one's ordeal. My brother, who never touched the first one, also played through the second one and said that he that all characters where fleshed out so well that he never felt in the dark or as if he was missing anything about any of them.

The plot as a whole is set in the same universe but has absolutely no relation to the events of the first game.

Honestly, what made it the best experience for me though, was the combat with less RNG.

The fact that you didn't have to cross your fingers every time something launched and assume that it would probably miss, meant that you could focus a lot more on the fun stuff like using niche abilities for interesting effect.

The only game I bought this year from steam was an 80 cent joke game I was testing as a joke gift to others.

Nothing is interesting enough to be worthy of buying, Nostalrius is out and it costs nothing. Vanilla wow > all games in 2015

Steam better start bringing back the 75 80 and 90% off big name titles or else Im going to just save my money this year, and next year, until I finally feel I have to buy something.

They are the ones losing out, not me. I dont need their low value shovelware for almost nothing, they can keep it and make less money in the end. People dont buy games they dont plan on playing, if the prices are only 30% off.

It's a good game as long as you like japanese history, it's event and text heavy. Castle building boils down to making it bigger and better, you build provinces around the castle to either raise crops (Needed for population and army supplies), crafts(Overall income) and Levy (How many soldiers the castle can raise), the goal is to make provinces as efficient as possible. Combat is mostly automatic.

Any recommendations for someone who likes platformers, and games like pic related? I think I'm gonna get Shantae since I've never bothered checking it out yet.

Supposed to be a proper and great stealth game, fighting means almost always that you lose, you absolutely need to stealth your way around. Great verticality in levels. As I've heard it involves a lot of trial and error and reloading, though. So it really depends what you're looking for in a stealth game. Think Thief or the earlier Splinter Cells, not Assassin's Creed or so.
>>
>>318145858
How about Gunpoint?
>>
>>318145832

Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence, and I wouldn't recommend it for castle building, castle building is as shallow as in Total War games.
>>
I want Dwarf Fortress with spaceships:

Do I get Elite Dangerous or X3 - Reunion?
>>
>>318141878
And it won't. It will, after Early Access. Devs said so.
>>
>>318145950
Nope, I'll check that out then.
>>
>>318145013
Tag small guns, speech and lockpicking. Take gifted as it's really good because unlike Bethesda Fallout games SPECIAL itself is super important. Small frame is great if you're not a pack rat.
>>
>>318145993

Just play Dwarf Fortress and settle in a red sand biome, and pretend you're in mars.

Otherwise, X3.

Intelligence, along with agility are god stats. More skills points and more action points mean that you get to shoot more often and hit more often. Also, get the best conversation options.

Also, any good hardcore racing games on Steam? I only know of Project Cars but the AI is beyond retarded in that.

Love that game, definitly the last good one of the series.
>>
>>318146879
Yes

I sure hope you know what you're in for with Alpha Protocol, though. It's a neat game overall but everything about the gameplay in missions is god awful. The dialogue system saves it for me, personally.

Seconding this. It has some great ideas, but the generic TPS gameplay from the early oughts was never good, and it aged poorly as well.
>>
>>318146538

Honestly man? Nah, not really. Rance has great gameplay and great sex scenes, but calling it a dating-sim isn't really the right genre for it.

Think of it as an alpha-male-sim.

If you intend on playing online then stay away from it.
The game is overrun with hackers.

Dying light was a breath of fresh air for me. Loved it.

Are there any good games like Shadowrun? I'm in the mood for some RPG's. Shadowrun was great but left me craving more since none of the CGC is as good ass the main story.

>>318147375

I had it since early beta. It's fun in short bursts. In theory, it's good with friends, but since there are so many explosions, and you die in one hit, the game is actually harder that way than just going solo.

Dragonfall

Have you tried Dragonfall? It's better than the base game in every respect. Hong Kong.... not so much personally.
>>
>>318146001

I don't understand why they don't release it already and continue to update it. It's already complete enough that if you weren't informed that it was early access, you wouldn't be able to tell (except for the 'coming soon' features that don't need to be in the base game anyway).

>>
>>318147849
Yes
>>
>>318147849
No. The game has no way to win. Its designed to be hard but gives you no way to properly mitigate. There is no "right" answer.

I love hard games like this but there has to be a way to do it. There has to be a choice I can find to solve the puzzle. This game just throws shit at you and you are stuck with the RNG bullshit. Forced to restart because "lolhard!"

Does it still have a decent online population? Is the multiplayer even active?
>>
>>318147854

For me, weaker side quests, fewer skillchecks in conversations, not much improvement interface-wise, weaker main plot. It's not a bad game, but I didn't enjoy nearly as much as Dragonfall.

Spent 50 eurodollars on DLC for eu4 and ck2.

Also, Industry Giant 2 is on sale for basically nothing. Fun game if you have autism.

Lords of the Fallen is a perfectly decent filler game to tide you over until DD and DS3
>>
>>318147792
It's worth it for the original games imo. I lost my discs so this was a godsend. The remasters are OK... HW2 is just updated graphics, but the remastered original is a homeworld mod in HW2's engine.

Therefore, no fighter tactics like evasive and ship formations were all kinds of fucked up.
>>
>>318147776
I know anon, I feel like I'd be fucking my beloved computer in the ass and calling her a whore for having to install it.
>>318147784
Yeah that was the gist of it that I was expecting. I haven't played an AC game since 2 (which I enjoyed a lot) and Black Flag is the only other one that's caught my interest.

Maybe I should just splash out and get Dying Light instead, that looks breddy gud.
>>
>>318137314
Got Dark Souls. Couldnt start it. Then it looks like shit. Controls are shit. I literally have to play on xbox controller, thank god I have one. tho it was the only game i was missing so i wont get anything else.
>>
>>318148015
I've had Lords of the Fallen for quite some time but barely play it. Now, I admit that the Souls' games aren't really my thing, but I at least enjoyed my single playthroughs of each of those games. Lords of the Fallen? I enjoyed marveling at the graphics for a bit, then realised that the beginning areas are the only good looking parts of the game then just got bored to fuck by the combat throughout my single playthrough. While the Souls' games have weighty combat and movement, Lords does it way too much and you just end up slow no matter what weapon you use.

I'd like to see them come up with better everything for a sequel though.

FTL there is a way to learn the game and to make the "right" choices. You are never faced with a situation you could have avoided. Darkest dungeon you can not. If the game decides to rest you you are getting reset.

most RTS'es i liked in the past were, red alert 1,2, cnc generals, tiberium wars, tiberian sun/firestorm

dont like medieval and middle age RTS so much, swords/spears are boring because i played the shit out of AOM and AOE when i was younger

Forged Alliance was the standalone expansion that did everything the original did but better. It even ran better but that's kinda a moot point with modern systems. You get more troops, a better campaign, more maps and just more everything. And no, you don't need both.

You might also want to check out Company of Heroes (don't bother with the sequel).
>>
>>318148978
Same, hoping it's like pikmin where the time limit is virtually pointless.
>>
>>318148895
Forged Alliance is the stand-alone expansion to SupCom. The only thing you'll miss out on by not buying the original SupCom is the story missions.

If your main focus is multiplayer (Hell, even if it wasn't) then buy Forged Alliance.
