Stupid budget publishers not putting their games on steam  :maf

Might show up on Steam, wait till Tuesday.

Also, there's a new Drakensang game on Steam for $20. I don't really know much about it, but it's a janky Euro-RPG so it's probably worth getting for $20.

I've wanted to play Grey Matter.  I thought it would be a steam.  Is it a retail release then or one of those games that appears on a different digital distributer, kinda like White Gold and Precursors.

Come off it, bro.  Uncharted 2's story was on par, if not better than National Treasure.  All those ass comments made me half mast in a way I haven't been since Sonic and Kaoru-chan ran (no pun intended lol) into my heart.

Screw that Oscar nominated director for screwing with the Uncharted movie.  He's not worthy enough to pickle Naughy Dog's dick.

That's good to hear. I enjoyed the first one and the premise of this latest one sounded interesting, plus that $20 price point is nice too. I think I'll go ahead and buy it now, download it tonight, and play it sometime tomorrow.

oh yeah, got gemini rue prepurchased as well (..as well as men of war assault squad and cities in motion. already got gray matter when it came out in germany).


just picked this up, came out a couple of days ago, http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/02/21/omnibus-driving-simulator-is-impressive/

looks fucking BAD ASS. anyone who sat in a bus in the 80s will agree.

This came out last week, by the way:

[youtube=560,345]NTEpprylp2U[/youtube]

It's just the sort of part-based, turn-based RPG'ing that PC-Bore needs to be playing now that Bioware spit the bit and went gay for consoles. It's also one of the most polished Euro RPGs you can find. It and it's predecessor are $20 each on Steam.
Title: Re: PC-Bore: Jane Jensen's Grey Matter, Gemini Rue, and Cities in Motion this week
Post by: Bebpo on February 21, 2011, 03:24:05 PM
I would buy it to support janky euro-devs since it's only $20 and that's a totally fair price, but like with most story-related sequels, I feel like I need to play the original first :(

That bus game looks awesome though.  Looks way better than the bus simulators on dreamcast

Grey Matter actually comes out this week.

I know Duke Nukem got all the press about unlikely paths to the finish line for this year, but Grey Matter finally existing as a releasable product, after being shut down, switching developers (twice), and all told at least seven years of dev time, it deserves some attention.

it is awesome! just been driving around randomly a while now checking it out. the weight and feel is crazy good. couldn't get the manual gearing working for some reason, so was only using automatic transmission. so much nice detail and functionality to the bus, it really is the dcs black shark of bus simulators :lol. will try some route/schedule things later. the traffic is actually really well done also, the cars are very aware. sitting on the horn on some guy in a golf will make him shit himself. hehe. I hope they do more cities and locations. it's only two maps now, only tested one but it's not super big. will buy the shit out of extra stuff they release for this.

Maxis has really crashed since they released SimCity 4 in 2003. Although they've never been the same since the EA acquisition and the company being turned into an assembly line for The Sims expansions. Probably doesn't help that Will Wright bailed a few years ago, although Spore was his baby and supposed to be a return to form [but we all know how that turned out], so maybe him still being there wouldn't really fix anything anyway.

They'll probably churn out a few installments in The Sims series, but Maxis is pretty much done.

Financially, wasn't Spore a huge success? 

Yes, but I meant "done" more in terms of "any creativity they have left has evaporated and they're pretty much running on the fumes of their past successes". Spore's outcome, and Darkspore's apparent trash-like nature, cement that.

Post by: dicklaurent on February 22, 2011, 03:40:32 AM
space siege is ok. really really dumb. but ok. the main thing is to not think of it as an action rpg, at all. it's worth playing through for the terrible story. and the whole thing is only 4-5 hrs long. I knew what the ending would be before I got there and I still got annoyed by how shitty it was. well both of the endings really. hehe. they depend on how many robot parts your guy's got, so you have to do a strategic save before the decision to pick up the last robot part or not. good ending is no robot part, bad ending is any robot parts at all.

have to say I am loving the shit out of this bus simulator. really really well done. excellent feel to the driving. it crashes a bit easily though. still got a couple of hours of practice in driving passengers around now though. not sure I completely drove the route correct, even on the super basic training level. haha. germans passengers start muttering gibberish if you drive too fast. probably if you crash and do other distinguished mentally-challenged stuff as well. but I've only been crashing and running over pedestrians without passengers so far. tehe

only need more maps now. expand me this germans.

Shogun was the first RTS I ever played and it's still probably my favourite strategy game ever.

I could never get hooked on any other strategy games apart from Total War games from then on.

I have my copy of Shogun 2 here but Steam won't let me install it yet :'(

The people that made it also made Flotillia, which is another pretty dope game worth checking out.

I hear Shogun 2 turned out well.  Will probably be the first total war game I play when the gold version with all dlc is on sale eventually.  I passed on Empire since everyone said the AI is awful, but apparently AI is good in Shogun 2.

Like always, too many good PC games coming out all the time and unlike filthy console games that are 6 hour campaigns, PC games are usually like 100s of hours, so no time to play them all!

The Sims Medieval will provide a medieval setting for the player to work within, with newly designed buildings and scenery to give an authentic "back in time" experience. Players will build a kingdom up, send Sims on quests, and earn rewards in the form of Kingdom Points. The game diverges from the series in that players can win the game by achieving a kingdom ambition. Confirmed ambitions include "Best In Show", "Busy Builder", "Efficient Expander", "Fame", "Filled Coffers", "Hard Workers", "Imperial Domination", "Legendary", "No Quest For The Weary", "Safe And Sound", "Thoughts And Prayers", and "Wealthy Populace".[1]

In a change from other Sims games, the character creation, simulation, and architectural aspects are significantly reduced and altered to enforce a sharper focus on RPG-style gameplay. For example, players will be able to customise the aesthetics and layout of building interiors, but they will be unable to alter the basic structure and shape of buildings.[3] Instead, the game will involve the player upgrading a kingdom, choosing an ultimate goal for that kingdom (such as wealth or popularity) and then fulfilling quests that contribute to that goal. The goal can be completed through the use of heroes (or specialists). For example, the player can have a wizard and a physician cooperate on one quest.[1] Focus, experience, and the traits of the Sim influence their success, and players may choose how the team will attempt to conduct the quest. Players will also choose which Sim will lead the team. Interestingly, The Sims Medieval will not be a generational game. Much like the first generation of the main series, The Sims, the characters in the game will not progress through life stages. The Sims will still be able to procreate, but those children will never age to adulthood. Sims will each have two normal traits and one fatal flaw, which can be turned into a positive trait through a quest.

In an interview with Gamespot, the game's senior producer, Rachel Bernstein stated that the game will be more dangerous for Sims, with death and failure a possibility during the game's quests. Listed dangers included low focus on quests, plague, peasant revolts, wildlife, poisons, duels, and more.[4] Unlike past games, there is a definite beginning and end to the game. Players earn ratings at the end of the game depending on their performance. Players may also reach "Quest Failed!" screens if they do not complete a predefined goal in a predetermined amount of time.

Actually sounds pretty cool.

The Sims Medieval has successfully breathed new life into a franchise that was getting pretty stale. The Medieval setting combined with the streamlined gameplay and quests create an evolved Sims experience that feels deeper and much more fun than any of the other recent Sims games. If you’ve given up on The Sims, you’d be smart to give The Sims Medieval a try. Even with its minor flaws, The Sims Medieval mixes a great sense of humor with simple role-playing game mechanics that result in hours of fun.

8.5/10

I tried Darkspore for like 30 minutes yesterday. It seemed like an interesting enough concept although I was bored while playing it and stopped. In reality the major problem is I like my loot games based around stuff like superheroes or that medieval lotr stuff Diablo has been pioneering forever. The style of Darkspore wasn't especially interesting to me. I maybe would have been more interested if it went in a evolution style approach loot game like the original Spore was supposed to be but wasn't.

Anno 2070 takes place in a near-future environment where climate change has forced humanity to adapt to rising sea levels that have left stretches of once-fertile land completely inhospitable. Players need to master new technologies while facing numerous ecological challenges to build their empires.

Nevermind, filthly climate change proponents :yuck

You mean Gamestop Impulse.

Quote
Indie developer Blind Mind Studios has decided to remove the option to purchase their game Star Ruler from Impulse after GameStop officially takes over the digital distribution service from Stardock. As their website states:  "We are ending sales through Impulse due to GameStop's long, negative behavior toward the PC platform and independent games. We would never have signed onto distribution through GameStop, and being forced into this situation has only made it worse for us. We feel GameStop cannot serve as the leader of a true competitor in the digital distribution market."

You can get Witcher 2 or AssCreedBro for the same price.

Capsized demo was, uh, it has nice ideas but the feel of the game is so loose.  Nothing has impact.  It is sad because it looks like Metroid, and you have a grapple and a jetpack, which is enough for make a game seem interesting.

I'm at level 7 or 8 in Capsized. All the problems you may find in the demo never seem to go away. I actually got my character stuck in a spot while trying to move around objects. I was trying to open a passage, but theres so many physics based objects floating about that they trapped me in between two slabs and an elevator with no way to get out.

The game's problem is its excess of stuff on screen, be it too many physics based objects or too many environmental bits and plants that make it hard to tell friend from foe.

Post by: pilonv1 on May 08, 2011, 11:08:24 PM
I think the PC version contains a bunch of fixes they made to the console versions because they realised it sucked

edit: here we go

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-04-26-steam-ps3-hydrophobia-prophecy-revealed

Quote
Downloadable action game Hydrophobia is coming to Steam and the PlayStation 3, Eurogamer can exclusively reveal.

Hydrophobia Prophecy is described as version 1.5 of the game that began life on the Xbox 360 last year.

It also follows the December 2010 release of Hydrophobia Pure on Xbox Live Arcade.

The game includes new levels – around 70 per cent of the game is new - and existing levels have been reworked.

The cover system has been improved, and combat is now possible from climbing points. The game is said to have a "proper, dramatic new ending", with an expanded storyline. There are new voice actors, too.

And the game has been augmented, developer Dark Energy Digital said, with feedback gathered from the Hydrophobia Listening Post.

"It's Hydrophobia 1.5, really," managing director Deborah Jones told Eurogamer.

"It's also not the original and it's also not Pure."

"The game is now hugely longer," DED boss Pete Jones added. "We've honed, refined and developed the stuff people liked, and we've added a bunch of new stuff that's gone down really well in usability tests."

The Steam version launches on 9th May, with a pre-order price of £7.64 / $10.19.

The PlayStation Network version, which launches shortly after the Steam version, supports the Move controller, and will be similarly priced.

Here, the navigation controller controls player movement, and the Move controller is used to control the camera and aiming.

Pete Jones said "the ultimate decision" on whether DED will bring Prophecy to the Xbox 360 is Microsoft's, but "it's our intention to do so".

The Steam version of Prophecy includes a developer feedback system, called Darknet, built in. It allows players to pause the game and send contextually augmented feedback to DED's servers in real-time.

Prophecy brings the Hydrophobia story arc to a close, but DED wants to expand on the concept with "other stories within the Hydrophobia universe".

"We want to be the first game and the first developer that truly has a one-to-one connection with the community," Jones said.

"We're a bit of a slow starter and we made mistakes in the beginning, but we've got there in the end. We've been committed heart and soul to this project. We believe in it completely. We've created something now we're all very proud of."

Screenshots of the Steam version are below, along with a list of Prophecy's many enhancements. These are on top of Pure's additions:

PC Bore,

How are Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops online?  I have Modern Warfare, but always get hit with this Punkbuster crap that NEVER lets me get into a game.  I have tried updating Punkbuster but nothing ever works.  I remember reading that MW2 was nothing but cheaters.  Bullshit?  True?

EDIT: Now Punkbuster works...but I'd prefer to play MW2 if it isn't shit online on PC.

The expansion was unfinished when Radon Labs went bust. They got bought up by some browser game company and had to beg them to be allowed to get the expansion in working order, which was ALL they were allowed to do. In other words, don't even bother.

I don't think I'll ever play Witcher 2.  I want to play the first one before it, but I tried playing it this weekend and maaaaaaaaan was it janky.  The combat was really bad and the animations running around and fighting were awful.  I don't know if I can make it past all that euro jank.

The Witcher is one of the least janky Euro RPGs ever! Probably only second to Drakensang.

And the only thing "bad" about the combat is that it takes time to get used to what it wants from you and what it requires to win battles. Different fighting styles, different weapons, support magic, and various potions. It's all about figuring out the right combination.

Man up, bebpo.

Also, TW2 is supposed to be hard as fuck, even on normal.

Quote
Combat is hard. Even on normal. One on one you're going to be fine, two on one is tricky, three on one is a fight for your life, 4 or more you have no chance. Aard and Yrden are a must, as is blocking. Rolling is not good enough to spam it, better to position yourself correctly. You can't insta switch between swinging your sword and, say blocking, Geralt has to regain some balance beforehand so no kamikaze strikes or you're dead.

I can't wait.  :rock

PC Bore,

How are Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops online?  I have Modern Warfare, but always get hit with this Punkbuster crap that NEVER lets me get into a game.  I have tried updating Punkbuster but nothing ever works.  I remember reading that MW2 was nothing but cheaters.  Bullshit?  True?

EDIT: Now Punkbuster works...but I'd prefer to play MW2 if it isn't shit online on PC.
Title: Re: PC-Bore: It's Witcher 2 Week, fools!!
Post by: cool breeze on May 17, 2011, 08:42:35 AM
I can't speak for the punkbuster issue (not sure if MW2 or Black Ops use it on PC, but Bad Company 2 does and I didn't have a problem there).  But I had no issues with MW2 and Black Ops on PC.  Granted, most of my time playing both was around launch and cheaters could have formed since then.  many hours I played Black Ops, only ran into two people cheating.  As for which is better, um, black ops has dedicated servers but I never had a problem with MW2 peer to peer stuff. 

Personally I enjoy Black Ops multiplayer more, but that's just a personal preference than saying one is a better online experience.

CoD4 MW should run fine.  MW2 actually looks a bit better than Black Ops, but I don't know if that has a big impact.  I've only ever played them on my beat of a PC (circa 2009)

Jamestown is a really fun shooter, by the way. Not too hard for a shooter and it looks/sounds great. The only real gripe is that there's no online multi, but local multi is great fun if you can get some people together.

Yeah, I just played stage 5. Most of the time I don't like it when shooters make you navigate through stage geometry like that, but it was okay there I guess. The boss was pretty good too.

Gonna start working on my scores now. I would've been #3 on stage 2, but I didn't realize you have to hit a button to submit your score to the leaderboard. :(

Cool.  I was waiting to see the shmup community's reaction before plunking cash down.  The trailer looked hot, but sometimes they can be deceiving.

I'm liking it, but the whole 16:9 vertical shooter deal is giving me some trouble. Your ship doesn't move very fast, so when you need to get to the other side of the screen to take out an enemy, you usually can't get there in time unless you know it's coming (I guess). It doesn't seem as tightly designed as some other games. But it's still fun. I like the scoring system a lot, and a good scoring system makes a game 5x more fun to play.

I just spent almost 2 hours playing stage 2 and trying to get a good score (and I finally did - got 1.7m). I'd always wind up chaining half of the stage and then dying right before the boss, causing me to lose my bonus. :maf

lol yeah, it's not too hard though, you just have to take out as many bombs as you can and then use vaunt to survive the ones you can't.

Post by: Bebpo on June 10, 2011, 02:44:05 AM
Yeah, I played it for a few hours and it's pretty nice.  The scoring system makes the game.  

The only thing I wish it had to be more like Cave is 1) I wish the gold would automatically come to you; having to go pick it up is annoying since like you said, your ship moves slow and you want to get moving to the other side to fight new enemies and 2) I wish your ship had more a more powerful screen filling width shot like in Cave games, which again would help with the slow moving wide screen ratio so you could still shoot down all the enemies.

Otherwise it's great and the replay value with all the bonus levels, and shop, and 0-5 star ranking system, and having to play on higher difficulties to progress; it's all great stuff that means I'll be playing it for 5x the amount I would be playing it otherwise.  Definitely a good deal at $8.

In that way it seems more like it's designed for co-op than solo play. Too bad about the no online, though.

Got in the top 5 for every stage, and I got #1 in Gauntlet mode. 8)

I like Legendary the most because it's pretty well balanced for scoring & survival. Divine seems okay, but scoring on most of the stages seems a little annoying because you have to use your barrier for survival sometimes. But I dunno, I haven't played it much. I finished up all of the challenges as well. They're a nice distraction, but I wish they had leaderboards. That would've added a reason to play them more than once.

Post by: Bebpo on June 11, 2011, 02:53:39 AM
The last level is craaaaap.  Not only dodging tons of bullets but ENVIRONMENT KILLS and good job making the environment DARK BLUE so it's hard to see anything.  Blah.  Will try to beat this another day.

There's also a huuuuge discrepency in this game between the levels themselves and the bosses.  I got to the stage 5 boss with 0 credits, 0 lives and I took out his first form without getting hit.  Same with the other stages on legendary.  I'd usually die a ton during the stage itself and then beat the bosses without losing a single life.  Bosses are generally a joke in this even on the higher difficulties, whereas the stage has a lot of bullets going on.

I also find it hard to keep track of the hitbox of my guy when dodging bullets coming in at an angle.  Wish they put a glowing dot on your ship so you could always see the hitbox.


Also they should have done a ketsui credit increase where the longer you play, the more credits you get so that everyone can at least see all the stages and the ending.  Stage 5 on legendary is going to be a biiitch to complete on 2 credits :\
Title: Re: PC-Bore: Pride of Nations, Jamestown
Post by: Bebpo on June 11, 2011, 03:24:19 AM
Alright beat it.

+Bosses are fun
-Bosses are all a joke except the final form of the last boss
-Stages are pretty fun
-Except stage 5 sucks and the 2nd half of stage 2 is kind of eh; some of the bullet patterns are kind of iffy
+music is great
+art is great
-except it's not always easy to see the bullets
+unlockables are great

About as good, fun and polished as any of the $10-15 XBLA/PSN shmups; not up there with the better Cave stuff or Raiden Fighters Aces though imo.

Appropriate thread?

http://www.neowin.net/news/did-microsoft-execs-overrule-windows-team-to-put-start-menu-back-in-windows-81

 Paul Thurrott posted word on WinSuperSite.com, via unnamed sources, that the Windows team had objections to restoring the Start button for the first major update to Windows 8. However, it appears that Microsoft's upper management made an executive decision and overruled the Windows team, telling them the Start button is back in the Windows 8.1 desktop UI. The article does not give any specifics on which members of the Microsoft executive team pulled the trigger to put the Start button back in Windows 8.1.

Before this week, there's been no indications that Microsoft was going to change its mind on the Start button issue. Indeed, the two leaks of early Windows 8.1 development builds, including one that was posted on the Internet earlier this week, showed no evidence in its code of a Start button revival.

Don't Starve really is cool. Don't let the terraria/minecraft genre lumping confuse you-the time constraints and increasing danger as time progresses really make this game feel more like a roguelike than those 'shit crayons' games.

I think the game needs additional stresses to push the the player harder over the long term (the addition of winter, for example, is great), but as is the game is well worth the asking price.

Those who aren't familiar with it, the best thing I can compare it to is a rail shooter like Rez, but with added gimmicks that will likely overload your senses.

Cannot wait

the full version is out,i played it for quite a while

it's a pretty cool and original game but it's not much of a stealth game as more of a puzzle one,most of the level's involve your ability to rewire the circuitry of the level so that you can get to your objective,one thing that the demo doesn't show is that circuit comes in different color and you can only link circuit of the same color... you also need to find special haywire point before you can link circuit of colors other than red

so for example in one level the easiest way to enter is by breaking a window trough the roof,of course this alert every guard near but you can solve this by rewiring the doors so that they stay locked when the guard tries to open them... another level has a bunch of motion sensor that trigger when a guard move near them and you have to rewire them in a chain like fashion to gain access to the entrance (guard 1 trigger the red sensor which open the red door thus letting guard 2 trigger the blue sensor which open the blue door thus letting guard 3 trigger the yellow sensor which open the entrance)

the way you can control the level's is really neat,when you turn off lights,guard go search for the closest light switch and push them,so you can turn off a light and then rewire the light button so that it does something else like calling an elevator so that the *DING* distract a guard that's facing the wrong way,later in the game you get the ability to link button to the guard guns so it's totaly possible to simply kill a guard by causing a rube goldberg like reaction

you get ranked on each level for how many people you kill (or don't kill) how many people see you,how much sound you have done and optional laptop you find,depending on the level your client request you something specific and your actual rank depends on how you score that particular category (for example in one level your client might not want anybody hurt so you have to leave everybody alive but in others you can go crazy and murder everybody)

you also (apparently) have some control over the plot and can tell certain characters the truth or not,the dialogue is all skippable so i'm not really sure it makes any difference

if there is one weak point in the game is that the level feel all the samey,sure you get new gimmick (quite early the game introduce armored guards you can't pounce on for example) and once in a while the game throws you a more gimmicky level (like the chain reaction one described above) but most of the time you are just rewiring thing and pushing button to reach your objective

Hopefully Banished doesn't turn out to be as boring as the Anno series. I played the original way back when and they have not fundamentally changed since then. Banisheds higher focus on micro-managment looks promising.

The game looks alright. Graphically it looks kinda drab though, and I expect the game to be as clunky as previous efforts from the developer. On the other hand, I do like world/city building, but this one doesn't seem to have the same sense of scale :(
Previous efforts? I thought this was his first project since leaving the industry. That's what he says on his site, anyway. http://www.shiningrocksoftware.com/

The current Anno devs are two big studios (50+ employees each, I think), both owned by Ubisoft, no way they would make a rinky-dink video like this. Or change the direction of the series as drastically. :lol
I really hope this doesn't turn out like Anno where you might as well stop playing if you finish one big scenario/map that features every system, because every other session is going to play out pretty much the same way. I played one large economically focused map in 1404 (because combat is unbelievably tedious, holy shit) and uninstalled the game right after.

The Anno series is great and I'm expecting Banished to be fantastic too. Unlike most other resource management sims it seems like it's actually challenging and it's easy to reach a fail state. Anno and Settlers are mostly limited by how much land is available for new buildings. Having to plan several years ahead just to make plum ale is weirdly captivating.

I adored the first game and setting up trade routes was fun in 1404. I watched some guy's Youtube series of the Imperator scenario from 1404 Venice. Highest difficulty, aggressive AI opponents, huge map, etc. and that just kind of put a lid on the series for me. With the exception of the combat I had done everything he had, just not as efficiently and seeing it deflated any kind of desire to play more. I looked at the other scenarios and immediately lost interest in puzzling out how to do them. I dunno, I think those games are just lost on me now. Not even 2070 seemed to be all that different from what I've seen in the demo.
I do need to try out the Settlers games though, I somehow managed to evade them for all this time.

Also, I think my video card just died. Will have to get a cheap replacement until I can afford a more permanent upgrade. :stahp

1404 was definitely the apex of the anno series. i wouldn't call 2070 a misstep and mechanically it had more going on than 1404, but it lost a lot of its charm.

Sunflowers only ever published the games afaik. Up until 1404 anyway, when Ubi took over. The first two were developed by Max Design who've shut down after 1503. Related Designs developed 1701 and its expansion and then Blue Byte collaborated with them on 1404, Venice and 2070. I don't know if any of the original developers migrated to all these companies over the years but I kinda doubt it. People don't really move around the country (or to other countries, in Max Design's case, since they were an Austrian company) to chase a job like developers in the US seem to do.

it's even more impressive then that the games have remained so polished and consistent. 1404 made even blizzard games look clumsy and unintuitive by comparison.

i've search around for word of even a hint of a numbered sequel and all i've found is similarly distressed souls stumbling around clawing for a light in the black.

The legacy of the critically acclaimed Giant games, already continued by the successful "Train Giant“, highlights now the popular theme Agriculture up to a new level in “Farming Giant”, presented by UIG. In the best tradition of the giants-series the player will get a first-class business simulation crafted with a lot of details. The player will build farms, maintain and upgrade his properties. Whether farming or ranching, the experience covers all parts of agriculture. With the right strategy and the courage for expansion, international success is guaranteed. A huge game world, a variety of production processes and trade opportunities and various game modes as well as achievements provide long-lasting fun. Furthermore the agricultural giant impresses with wide range of management options (from seed to distribution - the players takes decisions by himself) and an extensive fleet of vehicles. A detailed skill tree provides RPG elements and offers the opportunity to specialize more and more!

It was cool, but the difficulty was kinda buggered in spots. If you didn't remember some scenes, you'd have a lot more trouble dealing with them. The outside level(s) against the military were somewhat shorter I think? And you have to crouch-jump a lot more. Xen is still not done, as the article states. That's it.

Well worth your time, all in all.

Paper Sorcerer came out today. (http://store.steampowered.com/app/263560)

It's a dungeon crawlan game with a Game Boy color palette.  Good stuff, though and fairly challenging.

It's only $5 so it's a good impulse buy.

If it's anywhere near Chivalry it will be good enough. Better, possibly, because you have a turn-taking AI instead of an entire enemy team swarming you and spamming thrusts and overhead swings.

What are good recent indie titles on Steam? Aside from Rogue Legacy, Stanley Parable, Papers Please, Jazzpunk, and uhhhh I guess Gone Home? After I beat Link Between Worlds I want a good pc game to play alongside FFVII. Of those games, which should I get? I play Spelunky every day btw so I definitely think Rogue Legacy is out for now. I want that new Doublefine adventure game, but I'm going to wait till part 2. I dunno. I'm just in the mood for a good crpg but I don't want BG2 because I've played it enough times and Might and Magic X...ugh I'm not big on that style of first person rpg. May just get Ultima 7 from GOG.

how about some freeware titles himuro? if you like turn based strategy battle for wesnoth is fucking amazing, it looks super professional with detailed sprite graphics, really good music and tons of unit and the like... there are even some small rpg element too

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRrQ8dyb6UI

or you could play hydorah, it's a gradius inspired shooter that is really well done and you can really see the love the programmer had for retro games

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okHlHgQC3WQ

i guess both of these titles aren't exactly recent though...

Haven't played all of those, but some that had good feedback over the last year:

Kentucky Route Zero
Super Hexagon
Banner Saga
Eldritch
Paper Sorcerer
Gunpoint
Antichamber

Guacamelee is fantastic if you haven't played it



The Novelist didn't get exactly good feedback but still looks interersting.

Naissance looks cool art wise, no idea how good of a game it is:

Ever played one of the Spiderweb Software Rpgs? They are ugly, but play very zippy and have decent enough writing.

The latest release Avadon 2 got good reviews and I can recommend Avernum: Escape from the Pit as well.

Can we please have an overview for 2014/2015 titles for people like me who are starting to adopt the platform in a more serious manner rather than gaming on it every few months? Star Citizen and No Man's Sky are at the top of my list, as are Project Eternity and Torment 2, but what else? I like Warhorse.

:leon

I've got about 30 hours in this now. There's definitely some content that has been held back, but it's not stopping me from enjoying it. What is stopping me is the campaign structure, which is much more rigid than 4. Also there's not a great deal of new stuff. I really like the micromanaging with assigning managers to buildings, but that's about the only major new addition worth talking about, everything else is relatively minor.
