I've never really been much of a console gamer (except for jrpgs like final fantasy) and anything but kbm feel unnatural to me. I would probably be fine if the bot autofired it's primary attack when I had something targeted, and then I could have a key for its secondary attack. That and the...

Ok, I so I threw some Nier: Automata into the mix. Holy hell, I need more buttons or a better control scheme or something. I need WASD for movement, but arrows for facing, while controlling two attacks for myself while targeting and controlling two attacks for my drone. The game also doesn't...

I'm bouncing between two games. Elite Dangerous. I always avoided it because of the reputation of having a really steep learning curve. I've played space trading games before, but this is definitely more complex. However, I'm slowly getting the hang of it. In other news, I spent the better part...

Ok, this counts as "looking forward to" since I'm working on downloading them now. The Steam Summer Sale has grabbed me for Disco Elysium, Nier: Automata, Frostpunk, and Elite Dangerous. All really good deals. I'm not sure what gaming headspace I'm in right now, but I figure I have a new game...

Kenshi is on my wishlist and it's not a terrible sale. I've been thinking about this a lot lately and maybe this belongs in the gameplay loop thread or something, but I'm finding that my gaming preferences are heavily connected to whatever is happening in my real life. So, if things are routine...

Well, I'm definitely disappointed in the Steam Summer Sale. Almost nothing hit the price points I was expecting. I was banking on Subnautica Below Zero, but that fell short. The only games I'm considering now are Nier:Automata, Frostpunk, and maybe Don't Starve. I'm kinda in the mood for...

That's the one. And, looking over the chapters, I apparently missed a few things in the second chapter so I have a reason to run through that again. :) Edit: No wait, I did get everything you could get in the demo. It cuts off mid chapter. The chapter screen made it seem like there was more to...

@Antimatter Did you find all the notes/collectibles? I'm just missing the third note from the first chapter. I've replayed it a couple times, but no luck.

That's the reaction shot I was talking about! I'm wondering how long the game is going to be. They weren't stingy with the demo, so I'm figuring it's going to be a generous amount of content, too. $40 is not unreasonable, especially with all the industry attempts to boost the standard price...

Ok, just finished the demo. The blowgun showed up as anticipated. The mechanics for it are great. You need to consider timing, position, and what to do with the body when it drops (and the timing and positioning for that). I do hope the game evolves further in later chapters, but if it doesn't...

@Antimatter You had me at stealth game. I downloaded the demo and gave it a shot. It definitely looks polished, especially for a demo. Despite the high level of detail (the visuals are great), it actually runs well on my old potato computer, albeit hot. I really need to start thinking about an...

I'm in a kind of awkward gaming place right now. I have less than a month until the Steam summer sale where I'll pick up Nier;Automata and Subnautica Below Zero and will then want to get right into that. I don't really have a lot of casual/short games to hold me over until then. I've been...

Is there background lore with which I should familiarize myself ahead of time?

I don't know if this counts as a "looking forward to" because it's out there already. I've been just browsing around, waiting for the Steam summer sale where I plan to pick up Subnautica Below Zero, and seeing if I want to wishlist anything else in preparation for that. I noticed that I already...

I think timing/era was definitely a thing. My first RPG was Dragon Warrior on Nintendo. What followed from there was more JRPGs (FF and Chrono were big, naturally). After that was classic Fallout (also TB), and then Deus Ex, not TB, but that was really a FPS/RPG hybrid. I think the IE games (and...

That's what bothers me the most. I'm fine with games that have more elaborate control schemes (System Shock 2, Thief), and I'm fine with games where the control/interface is janky (Fallout New Vegas, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines). In fact, all of the examples listed are 5/5 games for me...

I thought the same way. The tactics system is virtually identical to the gambit system from FFXII, just with slightly different commands. I started with a really simple program. The top line was to heal self with a poultice if a character's HP drops below 25%. The second line was to attack...

I have to admit. I'm hitting a bit of a wall here with the gameplay. Since tactics are a grab bag for me, I have to micro everything. And, the toons are frequently quitting their auto attacks for no reason and just sitting around doing nothing. Or, the party bar will say they are attacking, but...

I never thought I liked space operas (never really got into Star Trek and I've never liked Star Wars), but shows like Farscape and Battlestar Galactica (and Firefly) proved me wrong. I haven't seen The Expanse, but I've heard good things.

I caught that one right off the bat. But, I've also watched all of Farscape a number of times (I'll watch anything the Henson Creature Shop touches). It kinda gives me another reason to keep Morgana because I liked CB's character in Farscape so much.
