Post in this thread every time you play a new game and rate it, I'll start, currently playing Dread Dawn, pretty jank and honestly not that good but I'm desperate for more zombie games to wait until PZ 42 comes out. 6/10.
109 posts and 44 image replies omitted.>>44747>like coop so I do need the originalonline-fix.me
>>44727>>44742To me this seems like the worst premise for a game imaginable. Like they can do anything as long as the corpos are fine with it, and they make like the most banal and mundane thing imagineable?
>>44787never underestimate the lack of self awareness of a "job simulator" player
>>44787>>44789The premise is "normie loser
just like you gets to hang out with cool characters who want to fuck him". Its a social simulator, not a job simulator. Mundanity is part of the appeal, makes it more relatable.
Anyway, episodes 5 and 6 came out, only one more week to go. I was wrong about release schedule, they release 2 episodes every week, which is weird, but whatever.
I have hard time finding places where to talk about Dispatch. I checked its subreddit, and while I enjoy the game, the level of dicksucking people there display is too much.
One thing that I found amusing in new episode is the cast hanging out at the "villain bar", which in look was designed as a dingy punk/metal bar, but insode which they played some indie rock song. Again I suspect it relates to writers writing not from personal experience, but from other media. Like they sort of know how seedy bar should look like, but not sound.
>>44793i didn't say you're not allowed to enjoy them.
you just gotta keep your head leveled.
for example i enjoy VotV but i understand that the premise is about a stupid student sent to a death camp to do mundane chores or some shit i could go to sleep playing this shit.
but i like going out at dusk so i feel scared of night
So, anyone else playing Arc Raiders?
+99999999 billion points for the trotskyist who made Duskpunk, could have been harder, lasted only four hours maybe, but very much enjoyed it regardless. Hopium levels completely replenished from building class consciousness, killing the emperor, dissolving parliament and spitting on the corpse of the priest who helped you in the beginning but thinks you are too radical in the end so he tries to off you with the help of a drug dealer, ending up getting double-crossed himself. Strong 4/5.
>>44787I liked the game. I have big problems with telltale games but this one felt better. Probably the actual game aspect and the social sim affection points actually changing the story beyond "you see this cutscenes with x character instead of y character".
I thought the voice acting was good, besides the youtuber characters.
Just finished RDR2 along with its epilogue. It's really good. I was thinking about how at the end John and Arthur seem to think how Dutch was 'showing his true colors' in relation to what he was all along, but I don't think it's true. It's a partial picture painted by the group coping with the gang's tragedy, which is great in an in-universe perspective.
But really they were always criminals with loose morals. Yeah, Dutch lost his morals even more and became too focused on surviving, getting money and living this dying lifestyle of an outlaw, which made Molly and Grimshaw get shot and him abandoning Arthur and John to death.
The issue is, they were a successful gang for many years, who scored lucky and minors hits, managed to get good money and cared for one another. This ends with Blackwater, as they're sending running up north, collecting one enemy after the other. Even without Micah it would not go that well. In reality, they didn't really need that much money to get off to Canada and then stepping on a boat to Tahiti. The outlaw life was too dear for Dutch, Arthur and Hosea to simply put it off for 'honest' jobs, they were never escaping as RDR1 serves as example.
>>45055id play this game but so few pixels
>>44742I have to reflect that, it was terrible for me to be basically forced into a relationship with a girl that threw herself at me. Also you need to choose between your manager or a worker under you and the game knows it's problematic because at the end if you pick invisibitch your manager says "it will be a problem with HR" and I was like "yeah" just after forgiving Coupé, a psychopathic serial killer (because I'm a good guy), but then she's like "no I'm just kidding". Very toxic workplace.
>>45062the 2 women are terrible romantic partners, sex assault gal double² agent vs i'm too confused for kissing you even though i caressed your face during a covert business trip but later want a relationship as soon as i dump phenomaman
>>38141Sorry everyone I haven't been using my own topic!
Currently playing:
Call to Arms: Gates of Hell Ostfront
Decent game, pirated it so I can't play online which I think would be fun. I keep losing men/tanks to stupid things in conquest but I feel like that's probably my fault. 8/10
Ghost Recon Breakpoint
Playing this with my friends online when we're free, it's deeply mediocre and repetitive in terms of playing alone but I have got the bug for gaming with the boys and eagerly awaiting when we can play. 6/10
Catherine
Holy shit, this game is miserable, I can see why people say the story is so good because the gameplay is terrible. 4/10
Endoparasitic
Kind of a one trick pony, I kind of expected more variety in gameplay. Alright though. 6/10
Beat 5 games recently
>House of Necrosis
Resident Evil if it was a mystery dungeon/roguelike. I liked it overall but felt it could get boring at times once you got good equipment and knew how to deal with enemies. Thankfully there's post game dungeons that shake things up. I still need to beat the 99 floor dungeon but apparently there's some secret you get from beating it that you can only access from getting all the spells which you have to grind for and I don't feel like that.
>Kill Knight
"Twinstick Doom Eternal" if I wanted to pitch it to someone else. Fast paced game where the player character's kit is tuned for specific enemies and how well you do is knowing when to use X on Y and making sure you have the resources ready for it. Killer aesthetic and music. Pretty difficult. I still want to clear the game on sufferance difficulty and then try and complete sever mode. Sufferance mode doesn't seem too bad but having to do all the stages in one go (they can get pretty long) and being like 2 mistakes from death makes sever mode sound daunting.
>Tormentor X Punisher
Can't really "beat" this game since it's endless but you can loop it once you kill all the bosses. Has a weird learning curve figuring out how to get certain upgrades and beat bosses. I find it fun to play for like 20 minutes to see if I can beat someone else's score for the day. My biggest complaint is that there's no pause button and if you try to press what would be the pause button in any other game it boots you back to the title screen.
>Resident Evil DC
Always wanted to play the 1st RE after beating REmake around 3 times. Overall I found this game to be way easier despite the lack of stuff like quick turn and defense items. The only time I felt things were getting difficult is when hunters show up after you come back from the mansion. Want to play it again as Jill.
>Final Fantasy Legend 2 (or SaGa 2)
I feel mixed on this. I liked FFL1 but FFL2 makes good changes to the combat and classes but the overall experience of the game doesn't feel as fun. The first 2/3s of the game there wasn't any challenging fights, and there's more worlds than in the first game but most of the feel samey and insignificant beyond collecting the magi there and dipping. The last 1/3 of it is what I wish the rest of the game was like. The worlds had a unique aesthetic to them and story+bosses that actually kept my interest. I was expecting Apollo to be the final boss of the game only for them to effectively be a joke fight, not even sure if it's possible to beat them before the fight ends. The final boss is lame and is laughably easier than the random encounters in the final stretch of the game. Overall, it's a game I want to replay since I did end up kneecapping my characters due to lack of knowledge. My human was mediocre since I just uses str and dex weapons with them and they never got good at either to do serious damage. My robot could shit out a ton of damage with xcalibur and gungir but I neglected equipment that gave agi so they always went last and many enemies late game toss out magic which robots don't have much defense for. My mutant never learned a good ability and just spammed flare and heals end game. I lucked out that my monster turned into titania despite being mid the entire game. I decided to look stuff up on gamefaqs and apparently with mutants you can just forsake gambling with them getting god abilities and can just give them equipment early on in the 2 slots they use for abilities, wish I knew that at the start. Don't know when I'll play FFL3 but apparently it's more of a traditional jrpg than 1 and 2 which sounds disappointing.
>>45127 this is a fucking sick shopping cart dude
>>45266Play one of many Russian mods so you wont understand cringe jokes.
>>45266It's ok, the evangelion of fps games isn't for everyone
>>45266>boredpick up a book.
Played Dispatch, it was pretty good, 9/10. My biggest criticism is with the writing, it was pretty intolerably Whedonistic in the first episode but seemed to calm down as it went on (or maybe it just didn't bother me as much later when the game was in a more light hearted office environment). Also it suffered a lot from trying to shoehorn in the 'are they a traitor' plotline for one of the characters with it being obvious they aren't but refusing to actually explain their actions outside of shit like "I did it to protect you!" and "just trust me bro!". Also the plotline of 'we need to cut someone' felt really forced, I understand sometimes management tells you to do something that you don't agree with and it was needed for the plot they wanted, but I wish I at least got more of an opportunity to express that I didn't agree with the decision. But yeah overall good, I recommend it if you can tolerate capeshit.
It was also funny that they seemed to really be hyping Phenomeman as an Incorruptibile/Invincible character in his first scene with Blazer before revealing he's just depressed and doesn't understand social norms
Actually you know what, I have another criticism, this game really normalises your work colleagues attacking your character, especially women, and it just being played as a joke, that's not a joke, it's fucked up. You can't even complain about it to your boss as your character immediately backtracks and says it was his fault if you pick that option. Cool choice and consequence bro. That's it I'm docking another point, it's only 8/10. Without Sonar I may have docked further.
>>45314You could just pirate bro. Not bad though. I got too bored to keep playing by the time we started colonising the Americas, you have to assign each individual little province to an explorer and puppet state and so on (fucking thing SUCKS) unless you want to put it on automation but that's too slow and bad.
Slay the spire
Any good free games anons?
>>45317Pretty much every game is free unless it has Denuvo. But idk, for freeware ones try Liberal Crime Squad I guess?
>>45312>9/10>only list downsidespretty much the average "recommended" review on steam
>>45319Well they are more fun to talk about.
>>45316i had it pirated but tbh i just buy stuff for steam workshop and pirate the DLCs
My winter car.
I had a glace at the steam awards when logging in and while recognizing most of the games, I had only actually played one of them. Is it over for me?
>>45380>My winter carSame. It's a grind but pretty fun. Might finally get a wheel/shifter/pedals
>>45477How does Outer Worlds 2 compare to the first one? I really wanted to like that one, but couldnt.
>>45483Gunplay feels like a step up at least in terms of animations and such. I ran into some weird difficulty spikes that I'm pretty sure weren't present in the first game. I went into this enemy base for a main story quest and enemies just had much bigger health pools and did a shit ton more damage then everything else I ran into.
>>38141I'm playing ostranauts, and I'm suffering.
Great game though!
Microprose Risk II. It still has the best computer Risk ruleset. Try it out.
Replayed some old Hitman games, namely Silent Assassin and Contracts. I wouldn't be able to play SA if this was my first time, that's for sure. The game has too many annoying mechanics, not that it doesn't have a lot of great things about it, of course.
Contracts, on the other hand, is still perfectly playable in 2026. I really like the nihilistic atmosphere in it, there aren't many games like it.
Currently playing Fran Bow. Pretty good, it gives off schizo vibes, all the way until you find your cat. Cats are my only friends irl…..!
>>45549That reminded me that I have it on Steam even though I hate point'n'clicks. I really lack patience a lot of the time when it comes to puzzles.
