Im about halfway done with Lisa and that game is fucking ridiculous. Definitely not for the easily offended or triggered. Imagine if Earthbound had no reservations as to being grim and morbid. It's super dark but I feel like it carries itself well through that. It's superbly written, I feel like it's genuinely funny, there are some great references throughout
for instance when you defeat an enemy, he starts singing Crossroads from Bone Thugs and Harmony
, and the soundtrack is amazing. Most of the enemies are just plain ol humans which could be extremely boring except the dev made sure to give each character a personality. There are also some great uses of player choice such as having to choose between a party member or your arm which permanently gimps you for the rest of the game. Lisa is probably one of my favorites games that I've played recently. I can't wait for the sequel that's apparently dropping soon

Legend of Korra is pretty fun. I haven't seen a minute of the show so this all seems like nonsense to me but it looks great and plays decently (it's no Bayonetta or MGR of course)

They made Sacred Citadel 2 but called it Sacred 3. From a loot game it went to a co-op brawler.
The game isn't bad as far as I'm concerned (and I said as much in the thread for it and in past Steam threads) but, obviously, it launched at the wrong price bracket (too high for what it offered, had I paid full price instead of Russian price I would have been annoyed too) and completely missed people expectations about a "real" Sacred sequel.
For the 4,99 GMG asks though I think it's a good experience, though the humor is hit and miss (the game is full-on not serious mode).

Basically, had the game launched at 20€ tops and called itself Sacred Citadel 2, it wouldn't have generated so much negativity, or so I believe.

Hmm Sacred 3 Gold's lowest price was $15, I'll wait and see if it goes on a cheaper price over the next few sales before getting it.
Might get Sacred 2 though.

If you're in the mood for some looting, I think you can do better than Sacred 3. Whether it's Diablo III, Path of Exile, Torchlight 2 or that new Van Helsing compilation, I'd recommend them all over Sacred 3.

Sacred 3 can't be any worse than Dungeon Siege 3 surely.

Also played Rocket League with some friends on PS4. Was quite fun. But not 20 dollars fun, nor something I would buy to play with randoms online. I don't think any MP game will ever work for me. Seems Gears 1 was the last hurrah for me.

I wouldn't be surprised. Sacred 3 is pretty hated.

And don't worry there will be a multiplayer game one day that you will like again. I am sure of it.

If someone is looking for a looting game, they shouldn't be even looking at Sacred 3.

I actually had high hopes for Operation Raccoon City shame that fell flat on its face. MP was so crap. Unsure why they didn't just make the game socom with zombies. Since a lot of the issues with the game is bullet sponge related.

I've beaten it 3 times once on each system (I also own 3 copies of it). It's not worth trying unless it's in the 5 dollar zone. Also should be played on the easiest difficulty, to negate some of the gullet sponge that plagues the other difficulties.

I go overboard when it comes to Resident Evil and MGS. Double dip all the games to hell and back.

Also I beat it that much because the game is quite easy to cheese. Either Vector for invisibility, or Lupo for invulnerability. If you focus upgrades on those, you can run past a lot of the game on a first play through even on the hardest difficulty.

Damn, gmg is out of legendary skyrim keys. I'll never get it for cheap at his rate.
Click to expand...

Still waiting for a deal on the DLC. Seeing how low GMG priced the legendary edition, the bar for a good deal on the DLC just got even lower. So to echo your thoughts, I'll never get that DLC at this rate.

(I could just buy the legendary edition cheaper than either of the main DLCs but at this point it's a question of principle. I'll probably never start that game again.)

If it ever goes on sale (which I don't think it will) maybe.

So I just bought Phantom Breaker Battlegrounds from Nuuvem, and it said that my order was placed successfully but there was a little red bar at the top of the page that said there was an error with my payment. But the payment shows up on my Paypal account as completed. Anyone else have this issue?

I got bored of the first game in the first dungeon. I actually enjoyed Torchlight 2 more for some reason but it's still very repetitive, I clocked quite a few hours into it so I wanted to finish it but it just drags on...

Odds are, you're going to need to contact support.
I had this happen with an order of mine a week or so ago... they took a few days to fix it and the solution was a strange one, but they should make it right.

The first game kinda only was the one dungeon. I played through once, never could get into a second try. I kinda fell off Torchlight 2 somewhere in the desert or maybe the area after it.

I think I don't like loot games as much as I thought I did.

No I didn't use a VPN. The order seems to have been successful as far as I can tell, and I have the key in my account, but I was wondering if I should be concerned at all about the error message.

That desert section was what ultimately killed my interest in playing that game (I was already not enjoying it much anyway), it went on for so long.

yeah everything just drags on forever, it's the definition of grinding dungeons without much progression, I mean each skill was pretty much just +1, it reminds me of that steam sale clicker game but you actually need to play it manually

Yeah, the desert is probably the longest part, or at least, has the most irritating side quests and enemies. Those flying things from Riddick or whatever.

I blame it on the game, although I'm not familiar with the loot genre.

For me, T2 was better than D3 pre-loot patch. Although with D3, I did like not having to worry about skill or stat distribution. If you're playing Elite on T2, you pretty much have to look at which builds are best for survivability for each class.

It's definitely the game, it's boring in so many ways, Diablo 1, 2 and 3 are still in my opinion the best loot driven ARPG's in the business.
Click to expand...

I found those interesting for the first playthrough, but playing beyond that was kind of just a chore and a grind. Nowadays I kinda dread having to pick up lots of randomly-generated items and compare them to my currently-equipped randomly-generated items to see which ones let me get randomly-generated items slightly faster.

Seriously. I like D3's ability to adjust your build as the situation requires, rather than T2 and every other game's "hope you don't gimp yourself" approach.

All of this talk about looting just makes me sad the two best dungeon crawlers will never be playable on PC outside of emulation. Why Atari and Interplay can't work some magic is beyond me. There's has to be more money in Dark Alliance 1&2 for PC than clay fighters.

It is fine. I just bought Shadowrun: Dragonfall Director's Cut for $.73

I forgot I had that credit from the Metro rewards. That shit gave me like almost $5 and I didn't get all the achievements for the rewards. Now everything gives you like .10 cents for evert $49.99 purchase.

I'm sad I never remembered to buy Dark Alliance 2, or Champions of Norrath. Dark Alliance 1 was so much fun.

Played a bit of Rocket League earlier (against AI only). iosefe is right, the game is pretty cool.

But starting out it's tough to actually do something productive in that game. Half the time I set myself up to do some elaborate play, and I just zoom right past the ball without making contact. Still, it's fun.

Though playing through a season on the easiest difficulty, I'm pretty sure my teammates have scored more on our own goal than on the other team's. I'm getting better as I go though, so I'm able to mostly make up for their incompetence.

Also, I just beat a team of computers whose player names were Iceman, Goose, and Maverick, so yeah...

I think Borderlands did it right with ability to respec your skill tree for a small fee. It maybe would work for every game, but it definitely felt right for those game.

Though I know the Torchlight games have always encouraged modding, and mods that allow respecs were added pretty early.
