It's a classic, but I love Evil Genius. It's still very playable if you've never tried it. You're taking the role of a James Bond villain and developing your evil spy operation.

Rollercoaster Tycoon; Well, it's a builder, but you build theme parks!

Any of the Roller Coaster Tycoon games are awesome. RCT 2 is a lot of people's favorite and it's only 4 dollars. Or you can get all 3 for around $11.

Thanks. I'll check out Evil Genius.

I've played so much of RC Tycoon 2 and Sim City when I was a kid, grown bored of the two. Kinda hoping to see games similar to Hospital Tycoon and The Movies.
 
InputMapper is my personal preference for using a DS4 on windows, I haven't had any trouble since I started using it and I can map all sorts of stuff to touchpad actions.

Too bad Zoo Tycoon isn't on steam, luckily I still have my CD copy with all the expansions.
 
Does the DSM Fix not do enough to fix the M+K controls. That's how I was planning to play the series, since I lack a pad where I live (and can't find a wired Xbox controller anywhere).

Play it with a controller or not at all. 360 degree movement and variable speed are really necessary--precision is key.

KB&M is possible, but far, far from ideal. The default keybinds are bananas.
Wait, that's what Binary Domain is? I m now thoroughly intrigued
Third-person squad-based cover shooter? Sounds like Binary Domain to me.
Was HL2 not cool until two years after it came out???

For some reason I thought it was held back so as not to release before HL2. My mistake.

Dark Messiah is the HL3 we've all been waiting for.

I'll keep an eye out for a basic controller then during my vacation. Would DS3/360 wireless work well with either 8.1 or 10? Been some time since I was involved at all with PC gaming.
 
Final Fantasy VI without the bilinear filter on the characters looks pretty damn amazing.



I honestly don't know what Square Enix was thinking.

Why would they even do that? I mean the original sprites were better, but that isn't awful.
The bilinear filter makes it look terrible!

I use a wireless PS3 controller with a mini-usb connection, you just need a third party program to make it work with x-input though.
 
How's Axiom Verge compared to Guacamelee, Ori, and other games of its type?

even more like Metroid

I don't know what this says about the games but I 100%'ed Guacamelee and got every achievement and I stopped playing both Axiom Verge and Ori when some other stuff came out

that's probably just me being dumb tho, they're all great games. I even bought Axiom Verge on release ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Holy shit, right as I start playing this again too. It looks so much better now. The only thing I still have an issue with is the tiling, but I can live with that.
 
Any recommendation for some good casual simulation/tycoon type game that's not a city builder?

I've found the Anno games are good casual games like that. Technically building a city but it's not like Cities Skylines or something where you're meticulously planning things, it's all about building your corporation up.

I just finished 2205. It's a fairly laid back experience. It has "rival" corporations, but they don't do anything but increase their own level so they will be slightly harder to buy out. There's some very light (and not good) RTS elements here or there but most can be skipped by just leveling up your corporation.

They are very structured games so they're not really all that replayable, but a single campaign will last a while.

Heard a lot of good things about Factorio and Big Pharma too, but not sure how casual they are.

It's much uglier.

That's all I know for sure, I haven't played it yet but I want to soon. Oh I also know there is a stupid frustrating boss later in the game, I read that somewhere
 
even more like Metroid

That's the impression I got from the Steam trailers. Is it really good? I'm having a hard time finding anything else to buy just yet since I actually am working through my backlog but more Metroid is always good.

edit: read your edit and Rhaknar's thoughts, maybe I'll just stick with Mushi then.

Whereas I'd rank it Ori > Axiom Verge > Guacamelee.

Axiom Verge just feels a lot more like Super Metroid than the others. Exploration and world-wise it's just more akin to that and the style of gameplay just feels more 16-bit.

It's pretty great, honestly, but I'd prefer to go through Ori again. Axiom Verge has the best secrets and puzzles of those three by far.
 
How is it ugly?

I said it's uglier than the other 2, not that it's ugly.

Even tho I do think it's ugly as sin, I hate it's look

That has nothing to do how it functions as a metroid game, which is why I want to play it
 
Oh man.... I can't even get Dark Souls to start..... It crashes as soon as the intro movie ends. HELP, PLEASE. Maybe some option from DSfix is the problem.


nVM..... Disabled in-game AA. Working now :D
 
I think this is the first steam sale where all of my purchases are from the same series. I blame Star Wars The Force Awakens since I just bought KOTOR 1 +2, Force Unleashed and Battlefront 2. Never had any of them and only tried them occasionally at friend's houses so we'll see how well this goes for me.
 
another day and three more useless discovery queues with literally zero games bought or added to my wishlist

if anything the thing that makes this sale the worst is feeling compelled to use this garbage system
 
How's Hard Reset? I've been looking for a new fps. My other option is Wolfenstein but i'd be double dipping in that case. Condemned is also a big maybe

I know right? It keeps suggesting a bunch of disgusting Anime VNs like what the fuck?
