What is the most /tg/ game on Steam, and why is it Trails in the Sky?
>>47976557
Previous thread, some good suggestions >>47955585
>>47976557
I'd say it's Alpha Protocol.
You know, actual roleplaying without complete railroading.And as broken as most homebrews
>>47976557
Technically, it's Knights of Pen and Paper, since you play as actual fa/tg/uys.

>>47976557
I'm having lots of fun with hands of fate, the card system is very rad, the combat doesn't feel quite adequate, isn't bad but I feel another kind could be better.
Other games like it? With the FF vibe and choose your own adventure style.
>>47976557
I'm enjoying this bara orc game to an undue degree.
>check out pathologic steam page
>half the text in the description overlaps to create unreadable gibberish
Spooky as fuck. What is the game like?
Looking for recommendations for atmospheric horror games and stealth games. Anything that hasn't been turned into an action schlock.
Also strong narrative point and click adventure games.
>>47977946
Amnesia for horror, I'd suggest FEAR too if you didn't say that you don't want action, because both the gameplay and horror elements are top notch if you like the horror style.
For stealth you can't go wrong with splinter cell chaos theory.
>>47977840
Same, wanna know more about E.Y.E: and Legend of Grimwald (probably spelled it wrong) as well

Some cheap things I found and got, havent tried them yet.
Big fan of Frozen Synapse if you haven't played it yet. Great twist on turn based strategy.
The Overlord series are not the greatest games, but they are very entertaining, and right now you can get all three games (one is an expansion of the first game) for about 6 dollars
>>47978020
E.Y.E. is hard to explain. It was made by frenchies who probably spent most of their time smoking weed, but ended up producing a stellar world with some interesting mechanics. Now, mind you that it is made on ye olde Source engine, so it's going feel outdated and a bit clunky.
The main deal with the game, and why it gets so much praise, is because of the world. Pic related, you can get killed hacking a door because it fights back. Mainly though, it's a big organization, E.Y.E, loosely based on the Imperium of Man/Space Marines, that's split into two factions: the Jian and the Culters. The two don't get along, and there's a fair bit of mysticism involved in the game as a whole.
it's p. good though
>>47978564
Oh, and EYE will vomit stats, abilities, and numbers in general at you.
Rainbow 6 Siege is pretty fun for those who like tactical or shooters
>>47977699
what's the actual name?
As a brief list of stuff in the "came for some quick action, surprisingly stayed for the plot" :
Hotline miami 1+2 (you wouldn't imagine but characters and events are quite fleshed out, lots of little pieces here and there you can put together to get to the bigger picture)
Zeno Clash 1+2 (world building has some nice elements)
Shadow Warrior (the whole backstory between the deities was pretty good)
Spec Ops: The Line (everything goes to shitand it's all your fault+some meta stuff thrown in)
>>47978579
>>47978564
Cool! So is it like a massive story campaign that you play through with friends? How do you up your stats? Mods? Etcetc
>>47978789
Bastard Bonds
>>47978893
It's more of a single-player game. Stats are rolled at the start, then enhanced by spending Brouzouf. There are no "essential" mods to my knowledge.
>>47977699
I thought that was like, free this weekend?
>>47979870
It is? Where?
I think I'm gonna pick up Dragon's Dogma based on recommendations from this thread.
What's the best way to play through it blind? Is it like NWN where I get fucked over dialogue-wise if I don't put X in certain stats or whatever?
Any decent games with character building where you play as a robot or cyborg? I already have E.Y.E. and need to play though it.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/276810 MORDHEIM, it's fuckin' good.
>>47977946
>Looking for recommendations for atmospheric horror games and stealth games
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
http://store.steampowered.com/app/22340/
>Also strong narrative point and click adventure games.
Tex Murphy, though I don't know if Steam sells it. If only /tg/ had a thread for the GOG summer sale.
>>47980017
Stats are all automatic, and they're strictly combat related. There are very few meaningful dialogue choices. It's all about the sense of adventure, the combat, and making your own story.
These videos are what pulled me into the game, and they give you a good sense of what it is without spoiling things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrCiV4LOYk4
>>47976557
It definitely isn't the most /tg/ game on sale, but the Trails series could easily be made into a decent homebrew with a few tweaks. Setting itself lends to easy development of quests and plots. Shit, the Bracer Guild is halfway between international freelance police force and professional sidequesters.
>>47978893
It's got coop and should be played in coop so that you and your friends can spout inane bullshit quotes from the game at each other and laugh at the nonsensical plot.
>>47977840
>>47978020
Pathologic's probably one of the more unique games you'll play and I say that knowing full well how overfuckingused that statement is.
Made by a bunch of batshit auteur slavs, you play as one of three healer-types who travels to a strange Russian town in the sticks only to find the place is hit by an epidemic that seems bizarrely supernatural. You've got 12 days to figure out what the fuck is going on, also to not die. You need to manage hunger, infection, exhaustion, fight off robbers and arsonists, keep important NPCs alive because they can and WILL die if you fuck things up, and the story will go on regardless of how bad you fuck up and how many people die.
I can all but guarantee the plot will be unlike anything you've ever seen. That said it's clunky as fuck, it's dated, the HD upgrade makes the atmosphere real nice and the translation actually legible, but the graphics are still ass and combat is a nightmare.
It's a flawed masterpiece in my opinion, if you like it you'll like it you'll be lost in it for days and probably won't come out quite the same way again. I know that sounds like wank but if it's your jam, it won't even be exaggeration.
I'd also recommend The Void by the same devs but it got yanked from steam a while back due to fuckery.
get behind it and strike the tail!
>>47978893
I told you not to make waves.you level up by killing shit, it's kind of important that you go into the game with 3 or 4 people though the game supports up to 36 players in coop
I killed my mentor yet I am not his murderer.kill guys>collect brozouf>buy weapons and mods>kill guys>get brozouf>buy weapons and mods
>>47980745
>due to fuckery.
Of what sort?
Repostan my recommendation for "Age of Barbarian" - http://store.steampowered.com/app/402880/
Not part of the sale, but only about $15 and, as a love-letter to a certain 1982 Ahnuld movie and "Barbarian 2 - the Dungeons of Drax", probably as /tg/ related as you're ever going to get.
Pic related: the playable characters are Rahaan the barbarian, and Sheyna the once-princess-turned-slave-turned-warrior. Each has their own reasons to seek REVENGE! on Necron, the foul necromancer, and will leave a long, wide trail of slaughtered and dismembered foes on the road to his sky-fortress.
(Be warned: I've found that the keyboard controls on this one are a little janky, so it might play a little better if you use a controller.)
>>47981366
My legs are OK
>>47981437
Looked it up just now, apparently the devs (Ice-Pick Lodge) didn't actually even put it up on steam, their old publisher just did it without asking, and somehow or other the publisher got to keep rights to it so the whole thing was out of Ice-Pick's hands. Which lead to a clusterfuck of a legal situation and the game getting pulled, though people like me who bought it before can still play it.
I believe it's up on GOG though. One of the most interesting games I've played, I'd highly recommend it if you like weird/unusual stuff/something different.
Waifu Bartendering.
Comfy as hell.
Great with a drink and snacks.
>>47980373
To be honest, if you get to every ending it isn't really all that Nonsensical. It's more... Useless? Perhaps Futile is a better word for it.
>>47981990
> -> neXT
read that as
> XD rekt
at first
>>47981990
Seems like a cool concept, but I'm not seeing hoe it's /tg/.
>>47976605
This is the correct answer.
>>47981316Guess what hunts in packs?
Stardew Valley or This War of Mine, /tg/?
Both are suitably groggy to pass Commander Keen muster. Both tell stories MUCH bigger than implied. One is a pseudo-platformer survival / combat sim and the other is a classic 2d Zelda-style lite RPG fucking a farm sim. I'm torn, and can fit either in my budget.
>>47978006
The first FEAR game was excellent.
Great atmosphere and great action.
Whole series slid downhill after that.
>>47982383wolves?goblins?wolvesand goblins?
>>47980017
A blind run is totally possible and you won't lock yourself into a corner, but there are a lot of side missions and tiny story tidbits you'll miss.
Just one tip: if you get an important story mission item, try duplicating it at the Black Cat. You might find other uses for it.
>>47982503
Stardew Valley is a Harvest Moon clone, plain and simple. It's fine at what it does but if it passes CK muster, it does so only because /v/ loathes flavor-of-the-moth games, and not on its own virtues.
>>47982722
Harvest Moon is deceptively /tg/ flavored in how well it captures roleplaying.
You live your character's every waking moment. You choose how you spend your time, how you make a living, who you befriend, who you marry. Basically everything is up to you, without being a completely barren sandbox. There are NPCs, storylines, events, etc
It may not be ye olde epic quest, but it is roleplaying to the core.
>>47982959
It's also fun and satisfying. All the satisfaction of a hard day's work without actually having to do any of the work yourself!
>>47981990
I remember when that dev was posting on /agdg/, and like all successful developers from /agdg/ decided to distance themselves from 4chan entirely
>>47976903
>I would only be able to play 4/13 of those games
Damn. Sometimes I get a little sad being on my OS, but I choose it for reasons other than gaming.
Gonna repost my recommendation for La-Mulana. It's only barely /tg/-related but if you want to finish it without a walkthrough you're going to have to draw maps and take notes. Gives it a neat old-school dungeon crawl vibe that way without specifically being a dungeon crawler.
>>47983367
A wise move, to be perfectly honest
>>47976557
Hard to be more /tg/ than an actual cardgame.
>>47983367
They just return to the fold.
Into the sea of anons.
>>47982503
Stardew Valley is ultimate comfy mode.
>>47981316
I picked this up yesterday. 10/10 would get suplexed by a ogre again.They're masterworks, all. You can't go wrong.
>>47982959
I feel like that applies more to Rune Factory than Harvest Moon. Which is for all intents and purposes the same game, but in a lighthearted fantasy setting with stats and crafting and dungeon diving and beating up monsters and taking their stuffand a better selection of waifus.
Legend of Grimrock!
A throwback of the CRPGs of old ala Dungeon Master and Wizardry. Where movement is tilebased and there are puzzles and secrets around every corner. If you want to experience an "old school" dungeon crawler then this is the game for you. This game also comes with a map editor and is fully intagrated with steam workshop so there are a ton of player made dungeons out there waiting to be exploredI recommend the "Tomb of Zarthos" myself. Think you are a man? Well turn on hardcore mode and grab a pencil and some graph paper pussy. Those dungeons ain't gonna map themselves. I sure hope you have a compassand plenty of torches.
You will dieto spidersIn the dark. You have been warned.
Now buy this game.
>>47983993
Don't forget to turn on only saving at the Healing Crystals and single use Healing Crystals. For maximum fun.
>>47983993
>Draw your own map
>In a real time game
That's dumb. I would like Legend of Grimrock a lot more of it was turn based (or at least had a turn based option).
>>47984149
someone missed the glory days of megaten
>>47982503
I bought both, and both are pretty good, though This War of Mine has a few issues, like not being able to send multiple people on missions.
>>47984200
I've played maybe about an hour of SMT4, but that's it.
>>47982579wolves AND goblins?!
You monster.
>>47984149
Agreed.
>>47984423
Analog mapping is an option, and not even the default one.
A turn-based first-person dungeon crawler would be fucking tedious.
>>47984478
Literally what is Etrian Odyssey?
>>47984516
Fucking tedious.
>>47980077
>http://store.steampowered.com/sub/59637/
yer started my skaven warband the other day this game is clearly made by people that played the original even if their current jobs is porting mac games they knew what they where doing with this one. also they are brits so they game on PSP and valkiria conicles. its a shame this game doesn't have real targeting or vechiles or any thing but I guess they always have a chance of doing that with the same necromunda treatment of this kinda game.
>>47984531
Good response.
>>47984542
Look, yes, fine, I'm being flippant.
EO isn't tedious because it's a FP-TB-DC, it's tedious because Japanese game developers that don't exponentially pad out gameplay with grinding are executed.
I'm sure that somewhere, whether realized or still-nascent, the idea has/could be executed in a way that could appeal even to me; all I can definitively say is that I haven't seen it.

Mordheim or Vermintide?
I don't have any friends to play with.
>>47984690
Mordheim. Vermintide is just a reskin of Left4Dead. The combat still doesn't feel good.
>>47981493
youre full of it or the dev. this game is not worth 15 dollars. the gameplay is clunky, level design average, and its overall just meh. its certainly a good milestone but theres alot to improve for the devs latest game
>>47985419
To be fair, it is a revamped version of a game first released in 2011, and the way I hear it Crian Soft is basically a one-man show. I've logged about forty hours in-game, completing both character storylines, and now practicing my head-chopping on Rogak is pretty good stress relief.
Maybe my standards are low because I haz no moneyz and I just don't buy games often - hell, I've never owned a console! - but I thought $15 was a reasonable price for what I got, especially since the average turnaround on bugfixes since release has been less than two days.
(It certainly beats the shit out of paying $75 for the same game from a big studio that takes a *month* to patch a reported glitch and asks another $15 to unlock the second character path as DLC.)
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, Civ: Beyond Earth, or Battlefleet Gothic, /tg/? I can only get one, and I'm passingly interested in all three.
Alternatively, is there a particularly comfy, strategy-ish sci fi/space game out there that you like, that I've not listed?
>>47986182
civ beyond earth is shit
>>47986182
beyond earth is shit, can confirm
>>47986246
>>47986278
Aw, that's too bad, I think it's the only co-op vs AI game on the list. I'd like to play with a friend, something slow paced and strategic.
>>47986307
try dominions 4
>>47976557
CK2 is on sale for like 75% off, and you can just get the DLC from /gsg/. The dynasty simulator where every single character is that guy.
Comes complete with the standard rash of paradox bad decisions.
>>47986182
Stellaris
How is the Anima game?
>>47986182
>>47986307
Sword of the Stars not 2, oh god, anything but 2, is super comfy, until you realize that a locust ship just drained 30 computer worlds, or the computer just released an AI rebellion. Neat worldbuilding too.
Sins of a solar empire can also be really comfy. Especially if you want something really slow. Has some sweet ship designs, TEC in particular really makes me think of battlestar galactica.
>>47986389
>paying for stellaris
Fuck off johann
Card Hunters is free.
It's literally D&D and has alot of fun little things like being able to see the dice sitting on the table next to the board where your characters are.
Just play the base campaign, only the multiplayer is p2w.
>>47986182
Kharak desu lad, only one that isn't total trash
>>47976605
Steven Hack, Albatros, Sis, SIE, Conrad Marburg and Konstantin Brayko would all make great player characters.
>>47986441
Actually SOTS 2 is pretty decent now, after about a year's worth of patches. It still has a few optimization issues, but it's a five year old game, so unless you are running it on a toaster it shouldn't be an issue.
>>47986182
Kharak is good. HW Remastered gets continuing support, not long ago they released an update that among other things brought back formations, greatly improved flight pathing and redesigned the projectile system to use true ballistics rather than statistics. It also has a huge mod community, there's Complex and Tactical Fleet Simulator which re-balance and quadruple the unit options, and a TC mod for pretty much every major Sci-Fi franchise.
>>47979880
I dunno about a free weekend but there's a demo

I enjoyed it and I'm not even gay.
Though speaking of that the nudity is pretty casual both ways, while you might come across countless shirtless hairy orcs that are built like brick shithouses and incubuses trying to kill you while sporting only a grin and a giant throbbing erection you also encounter female demons as naked as the day they were birthed from the sordid pits of hell and other female demihumans that bare all their naughty bits to your view.
Its kind of refreshing that none of this is censored.

It's only vaguely /tg/ related due to all the mythology in it but it's fun and you occasionally get to have crazy shit occuring, like a souped up vampire hero fighting off angels and skeletons and mages and shit on his own. Pic related.

Magicka - irresponsible, overpowered wizards. Okay with friends.
Magrunner: Darkpulse - Portal meets Lovecraft.
Eversion - Mario got eaten by Lovecraft.
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada - RAMMING SPEED

>Okay with friends
Fuck autocorrect. PLAY with friends. Great alone too. (Except the crazy hard DLCs)
Sword of the Stars 1 is also toppest tier 4x.
>>47989422
The game was very balanced betweent the smooth, aggressive and professional approachs. In the end, it really paid to adapt to the person you're speaking with.
If you anger Marburg enough, you can taunt him out of cover and kill him in Rome.
Not as satsifying as making him go rogue in the Alpha Protocol facility, but still nice.
>Look, old man, you can talk big all you want, but at the end of the day? You're just a corporate drone collecting a paycheck. You answer to a cardboard cutout half your age with the fashion sense of a screaming child. He spends thousands on his fucking hair.

Wait...wait...
Holy cows, that is actually my pic and blood marshall.
The blood marshall was only thing keeping army of birds/angels from killing my god and taking my capital.
After throwing an army of around 300 mages, (those mages summoned all the skeletons in pic) the bird player gave up the idea of killing me with force and focused on remaining major players instead. On the phone so can't post any pics.
Anyway Dom4 is worth of your space credits and very tg indeed.
I REALLY want to play a new RPG /tg/. Idk what I want though.
I want fantasy, I want open-world adventure. I kinda want dark and gritty. I also sorta want nautical pirate adventures. Does such a game exist??
I DID look at Elder Scrolls online but I've heard a bit more bad than good.
I'm liking Stranger of Sword City. A dungeon crawler in the vein of Wizardry. You can add your own character art, so with a bit of editing you can make anyone or anything into your party.
Not to say the default artstyle is bad, it's actually very nice. There's also a more anime artstyle for characters/NPCs, but I didn't like it too much.
>>47990042
Risen?
>>47986885
they actually fixed HW? Oh thank fuck, I got so frustrated over it. Gonna be able to actually go back to it and not want to rip it apart.
Adding on to Kharak, I've been enjoying it. The giant sand carriers are awesome, good design on how fighter craft work, really been enjoying the single player, it seems like there are fair design differences between factions and they maintain their faction identity while still using the same basic unit design. I've been enjoying it, though I wish completing the mission objective didn't cause the mission to end then and there.
>>47987468
you savages need to get golden gaytimes.
>>47987691
if i had that rules of tg jpg i would post it, but it confirms this post belongs on this board.
>>47976557
Darkest Dungeon.
Fun, atmospheric as hell dungeon crawler with a kind of lovecraft-lite feel to it.
'lite' in that there is a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel and the monsters are horrific but can be killed, it's more on the Conan side of the Mythos than the Lovecraft side.
I really like it, great class system, fun gameplay, very good looking and great sound design, and it does the X-Com thing of having tactical missions and base management without either feeling like it detracts from the other.
>>47990094
maaaaannnn, i played risen 2 and i was not overjoyed. i might have been missing something, but it just felt lacking in fun somehow.
>>47990585
Risen 1 was made to be Gothic - like. And it was amazing, up until the "go forth and kill" phase every Gothic had.
Risen 2 was different from Risen 1. Fights became easier, atmosphere leaked away, everything became less fun.
Try Risen 1. Seriously.
>>47988310
>hydra slithers in my general vicinity

Alright so this may have been a terrible idea. I think it's back to normal mode for me.
>>47990893
Hard mode is hard for the first few levels but since it gives you double gold and exp you shoot up in levels quickly enough that it actually makes the game easier than normal mode.
It also increases stagger resistance so warriors are even more useless.
>>47987377
Avernum and Geneforge series are really good. The last geneforge game has more endings than most modern RPGs, and they're all unique. I think there were like 8 of them.

Hardmode is for NG+ in Dragon's Dogma, Anon. No shame in going normal your first run.
>>47988310
Hard mode was so much fun, but you're better off being a ranged character and leaving the heavy tanking to your unkillable pawn you can revive when shit goes south. I also think that hard mode only multiplies damage done to you, meaning pawns are more survivable anyway. When I realized that, I went from play not!Guts with a kidney-stabbing loli sidekick to power-archer with Warrior-loli; I miss taking out an entire health bar with a single warrior skill, but I like surviving combat a lot more, plus it's sort of cool to watch a little girl in plate armor swing a hammer bigger than herself.
>>47991327
Holy shit yes Geneforge is great. I'm partway through the first game and it's excellent.
I can also second This War of Mine, Dominions 4, Alpha Protocol and E.Y.E.
>>47989739
Stuff like that was definitely the strenght of Alpha Protocol. I just wish it'd have been more about that side of things and less about sneaking and fighting.
That conversation with Leland towards the end when you've played your cards right, though, with Leland all smug as shit but obviously unaware of some of the things you've done and set in motion...it was incredibly satisfying.
>>47991498
Can't agree. Sure , more bullshit all over the screen from your allies, but easier resurrection and (hopefully) higher DPS.
>>47992495
Hardmode is weird because you get increased EXP for defeating your opponents, meaning that you start off getting oneshotted by goblins but then suddenly you are so overleveled that the game normalizes.
Pity. I liked getting oneshotted by goblins.

AI is awful and it needs serious polish, but if you have friends you can sucker into playing with you, go for it.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s pretty good at making you jump at your own shadow, and it's absolutely dripping in atmosphere.

You guys friends obviously don't spam enough magic. If you can see what you're shooting at there's not enough beams crossing.

Take off the piracy angle and I would suggest Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Probably some of the most fun feelings of pure adventure I've had in a while, along with kickass boss battles
Thoughts on Duskers? Its a roguelike with a very interesting sci-fi theme. Even has something of story or two scattered around.I think its a good game, I just forgot I hate roguelikes.
>>47990528
See, I really want to try Darkest Dungeon, but I hear that the endgame is nothing but an impossible RNG grind that sucks out all the fun. Any word of balancing that from the devs?

Can any one who has played Pathologic tell me how much spiders it contains, thinking about buying it for a very aracnophobic friend.
>>47993938
You should get them this.
>>47993819
I haven't actually gone into the final dungeon yet, but even against the toughest bosses I was doing pretty good right up until the end.
>>47993938
No spiders, as far as I can remember, but lots of spooky shit besides.
>>47993938
No spiders, other spooky/weird stuff. I also played the original English translation, which was a clusterfuck and I had hard time following what was going on, but it's fixed in the remastered edition, at least so I've heard.
>>47993783
That doesn't look anything like Rogue.

Somewhat /tg/-related in that some friends and I are going to use Company of Heroes 2 to RP a narrative war campaign as if it were set in a dieselpunk homebrew world. Should be fun.
Also, you guys sold me on Trails in the Sky. Gonna buy it, but I may be a bit before I play it since I'm currently working through the FFX remaster, then FFVI.
>>47994097
I was actually thinking of doing something like that by using wargame RD to handle higher level operations in our OW campaign
>>47994097
>use Company of Heroes 2 to RP a narrative war campaign as if it were set in a dieselpunk homebrew world
But, how?
Anyway, the last few patches for Company of Heroes 2 are placing it on very good tracks, fixing some cancer strategies and fixing FUCKING STUPID AND RIDICULOUS old warspoils system.
Brits are still kind of a one-trick pony and some old commanders aren't adjusted, but it's still preeetty good. Best time to get it in my opinion.
>>47994164
>But, how?
As far as the friend that's organizing it has told me, a combination of keeping track of wins/losses on a Facebook page and some imagination.

Little late to the thread here, but seconding Sins Rebellion. Damn good game with more mods than you can shake a stick at.
The Star Trek Armada 3 mod is probably one of the best mods I've ever played, period.

Fallout 1, new Vegas
Sunless Sea (sorta)
Mass effect 1
>>47995103
It's crazy, neat, surreal,, and the best love letter to the source engine around. Also Imperial Assassin Simulator.
I find the surreality and poorly-translated-from-French-ness endearing.
The Ys series is very, very underrated for the quality of it. They're not marvels of original fantasy storytelling, but I was still invested, and the gameplay and music are fucking kick ass.
>>47995172

Dunno, I tried it, I found it boring, poorly optimized, repetitive, and the dialogues were really shitty.
Even in French, they sounded like something out of babby's first fanfic.

Not really on sale, but Exanima is pretty fucking good once you get a grip on the combat.
Plus, it's an atmospheric dungeon crawler. Can't ever complain about those.
>>47983390
I don't know what OS you run but most of those games seems to be playable with WINE.
So are flash deals no longer a thing? Deals are as good as they're going to get barring intervention by publishers?
>>47996017
They're dead. Too many people bought games without waiting for the flash sales, only to find the game on a flash sale later and get it refunded so they could buy the game again for less.
>>47995522

Please shut up instead of talking out of your ass. I just want a fun game, not an overrated mod made by two guys in a cave constantly shilled by idiots.

Does that work better than it used to? I normally say no to WINE because I want to vote with my wallet to get more games to Linux, but might make an exception for Spiderwick games.

Get Eschalon trilogy.

Terrible?
I picked up Rogue Legacy, because i hadn't allready, and i tried it.
What in the holy fuck is wrong with that game? I feel as if I did something to offend it's programmers. The game is bullshit of a calibre i cannot properly express, and requires i become more "gud" than i ever have before.
In about an hour and a half, i hit my skill ceiling, and found myself completely unable to afford any further upgrades to my castle. the Heroes feel like wet tissue paper. i encountered more rooms that were absolute bullshit than ever before in my life.
Also, despite the controls being fast and responsive, they start out intrinsically handicapped: you suck. No two ways around it.
I get the feeling that, if i could only have a few more HP, or a longer invincibility frame, or a Downward thrust that actually goes all the way down to the ground instead of being a half-second poke in mid-air, then I could enjoy it more... but with the castle pricing itself far outside of my meagre skill level, I'm just going to curse it.
>>47997588
Because it's shit. It's objectively shit, and all who defend it are just shilling.
Get a refund already.
>>47997588
>Rogue Legacy
>requires i become more "gud" than i ever have before.
Jesus fucking christ anon
>>47997663
I anticipated people would tell me to "get gud" and attempted to circumvent it.
I used to be good. I beat Battletoads without a game genie. I stomped airman and beat Little Nemo and collected every treasure in Ducktales. I learned to platform in Super Mario Brothers on the NES. I'm old. I long ago passed my peak. and playing that game with a keyboard is just infinitely frustrating. ESPECIALLY with how many of the rooms are just flat out designed to kill you.
On one play, I paid charon what few coins i had left, walked through the first room with the journal, walked into the next room and- immediately got hit by an overhead trap, then a giant sized knight, who, by any sense of scale, had to at least be a mini-boss rushed over and smashed me. and then i was hit by the overhead trap again, because they fire that fast, and i died. I died in the second room to the first enemy because the goddamn game decided that every ceiling tile in room #2 needed to be a fireball launcher, and that the only enemy in that room should be a mini-boss.
>>47997838
I am garbage at games, anon, but Rogue Legacy was not unfairly difficult. I don't remember ever getting hit by a trap upon entering a room.
What was this "overhead" trap? And minibosses only appear in dead end rooms. It's literally impossible for the first room to be a miniboss room.
Get Fallout 3 and New Vegas ultimate editions.
Then install Tale of Two Wastelands to turn them both into one huge super game.
Get NMC's texture pack to work in both game areas.
Install Nevada Skies to vastly improve lighting and skies, day and night.
Enjoy two great games rolled into one, looking better than ever with hundreds of hours of gameplay and adventure all rolled into one.
Best use of 20 bucks I can think of.
>>47983752
Don't forgot about Stardew Valley!
>>47997950
nigga learn to follow conversations, Stardew Valley is what they were talking about initially
>>47997927
Where is that screenshot location? North-east of Vegas? Novac?
>>47997917
the overhead trap was a fireball launcher that launched fireballs straight down. There was a bank of 8 of these, a very narrow center area with no overhead fireball launchers, and then another bank of 8 of them before the end of the room.
The monster in the room killed me, and, since i have no familiarity with how this game functions, the best way i could describe it, would be as a giant version of a common gray knight. except it used a dash attack that you don't see on the regular knights, and was using a different weapon, a spear i believe. It was not kind to me.
>>47997987
I didn't take it, but I'd say somewhere south of New Vegas, maybe southwest heading parallel to the mountains.
>>47997927
That sounds amazing. Totally something I'd want to do, but for some reason, my PC and Fallout 3 can't agree, no matter how many fixes I try to look up.
>>47998036
I don't know why it wouldn't work, mine worked just fine, though mostly I play TTW which is technically playing Fallout 3's assets through New Vegas.
>>47998024
I thought so too, but the only overhead highways are close to vegas iirc
>>47998036
Tale of Two Wastelands runs through NV's executable, so if your PC can run that you're fine to run TTW
>>47998076
>>47998079
It has something to do with Fallout 3 not being able to run on anything bigger than a dual-core, IIRC, which is supposedly a simple fix in one line of the code. Tried that, as well as about half-a-dozen other things, and none of it was working.
However, since Tale of Two Wastelands runs off of New Vegas, then that's perfect for me, since New Vegas works just fine on my PC. Thanks for letting me know.
>>47998005
Spear knights are just another generic enemy.
My friend and I both played it at the same time, and he was able to make progress much more quickly than I because he was gud enough to not need to grind.
>>47998126
Yeah, check it out, I love the mod and as long as you have all the DLC for both games, then it should be fine.
Mods for New Vegas also mostly carry over into Fallout 3's game area, so armor mods and new weapons will show up on those characters.
Nevada Skies works without conflict, which makes the game a lot prettier, but NMC's texture pack needs to be run through a fan made script in order to make it replace stuff in the Capitol Wasteland as well.
Might seem daunting but the instructions are very clear and I got it to work first time with about a minute's effort.
The game is so goddamn pretty with the right mods installed, high-rez everything!
>>47998193
Really modding Fallout TTW for me has become like a hobby in and of itself, like a banzai tree I've groomed to perfection and occasionally mess with again.
Finally I think I've reached as good as it's going to get, with hundreds of weapons added in, each with proper reload animations and using the correct ammunition types, tons of clothing added in and every texture replaced and polished to look absolutely gorgeous.
I don't see myself putting this game down anytime soon and I really hope it works out for you, I can suggest some mods if you're new to the idea.
>>47997588
Wait people find Rogue Legacy hard? Sure it's not an easy game but I never in my wildest dreams imagined someone making a huge rant about how hard it was for them.
Do you just not play 2-D action platformers? How can you start the game as bad as you claim you did?
>>47998005
So you're mad because you got caught off guard by enemies you don't recognize, and had difficulty with a room layout you've never seen before and might not even be equipped to pass through?
>>47987709
It's not about being gay, man. I'm not enjoying it for gay reasons eitherand I'm only moderately gay. It's a legitimately fun game.
>>47994695
Motherfucking It's-it I love those things. Fucking expensive though where I live.
I'm probably the only one who unironically likes Onechanbara Z2: Chaos, bugs and all.
>>47998478
>>47987709
So... This is a game where I can play a mostly naked orcish shaman?
But what about the gameplay, the trailers all just show a bunch of sprites rushing about fighting at high speeds, what is the game about really?
>>47998652
You can play an entirely naked orcish shaman, if you like.
Combat is fast-paced for a turn-based game, but quite simple. Story also is simple, but fun and interesting so far. It's about low-lifes and scum doing low-life scummy things, mostly. You have a stronghold, which isn't super deep but is nice. It isn't the game if you look like megamind and want to train your brain in pursuit of psychic powers, but there's still challenge to it, and it's consistently well-polished and fun.
>>47987385
Rum, mate. Water it down if it's too harsh for you, and it's still good to drink.
