Some new PAX gameplay for Dusk.

Hey guys, anyone has played the new master of orion? Got some money and I am thinking between it and Endless Space 2. Other 4x recommendations are appreciated too!

EDIT: that dusk really tingles my doom sense

Getting real tired of Steam fucking up my controller

I have a question regarding new accounts? I made an account for my wife so she could play Cook Serve Delicious and Stardew Valley around 1 year ago. Its restricted, since she didnt buy anything, but I got her the games thanks to generous gaffers from SteamGAF.

What I wonder now is whether she can get cards with a restricted account. She actually got some cards before, but now I ran Idlemaster for the whole night for some other bundle-games I gave her and no card dropped.

Is it because she logged in with a new device (that 7 day market restriction) or is it because the whole account is restricted?

Dusk looks like a wad for a source port of Doom 64 using a 3D models mod.

I think the restriction is to the commerce module (trade and selling). The problem may be with Idlemaster being non functional in some stuff (at least what i remembered it is not being updated right now and they may have changed the card drop system).
Otherwise more experienced people should know about it.
Edit: I was wrong as seen in here

So first KOEI Tecmo got beef with Itagaki, now Atlus got beef with Kaneko?

Kanekek BTFO

The redrawn art isn't bad IMO, but...they don't have Kaneko feel, and the fact that they're replacing the original art is hella lame; surely they could've just used original art and implemented them?

That doesn't look like a redraw, more like someone just threw the original through a shitty upscale filter, losing all detail in the process.

According Archi's Steam Farm FAQ, it's no longer possible to get card drops on limited accounts.

No, you can't drop cards on limited accounts anymore (those that never spent 5$ in steam store). It was possible in the past, but it's no longer the case.

turns out it's only a remaster tho

kinda disappointing

I just saw that and I'm actually quite excited for it. I don't mind that this is just a remaster instead of a remake since I honestly doubt that Blizzard would do this game justice by remaking it while also trying to "improve" it. However I have to admit that I'm disappointed in the animations I saw in that trailer since they appear to be mostly or entirely unchanged, at least in number of frames. I'm sure there is a good reason why they didn't improve them to make the game look smoother, but for a remaster of such a legendary game, I was hoping for a slightly more extensive visual overhaul. I'm probably just nitpicky tho.

 

[JaseC]

Yeah, it was possible to receive drops initially even though the FAQ said otherwise. That's Valve Time for you.

I bet overhauling the animation would potentially lead to breaking the "features" that the BW pros have found out over the years. Mutalisk stacking,etc. Those thing always seemed like unintended consequences of janky systems to me. Blizzard got lucky that they somehow balanced out.

Anyways I think it's fine. There are lot of people who still like that game and would love to see it on modern systems and resolutions.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Alright. Any other way to get that restriction off or I really have to buy some game from her through steam?

 

[JaseC]

how does it work if Valve trademarked steam? Or did they not trade mark it?

Trademarks cover specific use cases. Valve trademarking "Steam" doesn't mean it has legal claim to the word in all business contexts, just those declared upon registration.

Alright. Any other way to get that restriction off or I really have to buy some game from her through steam?

It needs to be a $5 Steam Store purchase. This also includes a $5 Steam Wallet top-up (not to be confused with the redemption of a $5 code).

 

[Ludens]

Alright. Any other way to get that restriction off or I really have to buy some game from her through steam?

You don't need to buy games for her, you just need to spend 10€ with her account, you can even gift a game to yourself by using her account, and the restriction will lift.

 

[Nillansan]

So I'm wondering, for any recommendations. Quadrilateral Cowboy, Rainworld, or The Surge...if I had to pick one?

Quadrilateral Cowboy made it on to the fourth spot on my GOTY list. It's pretty damn good. Here's what I thought.

+ The free-form nature of the heists and the absolutely endearing retro cyber punk aesthetics makes for one of the most engaging puzzle games I've ever had the pleasure of playing. Manipulating objects using your deck's terminal and command lining your way through each mission is unlike anything I've tried before. Quadrilateral is a short, albeit a neatly paced package well worth the asking price. I would love to see the deck mechanic worked into a non-lethal, stealth focused game that is similar to the Hitman games in terms of scale.

- The Caser Phases has a tendency to glitch out, I would often get stuck in the geometry. Sometimes the deck would glitch out as well causing it to auto execute commands when navigating through the command history. The levels involving extracting safes using launch pads were heavily dependent on physics and were reduced to frustrating practices in trial and error as it was difficult to gauge the trajectory of the safes. I still haven't figured out how the leaderboard stuff works, some of my times are recorded others aren't.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

The redrawn art isn't bad IMO, but...they don't have Kaneko feel, and the fact that they're replacing the original art is hella lame; surely they could've just used original art and implemented them?

Perhaps it's because there's animated cutscenes now and they want to make them look consistent?

That doesn't look like a redraw, more like someone just threw the original through a shitty upscale filter, losing all detail in the process.

Naw, it's not like they lost the original hi-res artwork and some of these new portraits even have different expressions.

I preferred that one way more than To The Moon. Replayed it at a point, both of them, 'cause I figured maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention.

Spoiler

Maybe it's just the involvement of an animal, 'cause I really didn't care about that sick guy's dream of going to the moon. Kept holding out that bird would stay. Poor kid.

Man, finally I bought "Verdict Guilty" for 0.79€ and it's "so-bad, so-good", just like some type of broken doujin-mess LOL
(or the korean equivalent of doujin, I don't know the correct name)

Awesome.

I've started playing Way of the Samurai 3. I died during a vegetable cutting job as the lady started throwing small stone statues at me instead of vegetables...

LOOL Another "gem", I just finished the game few weeks ago, with the "True Ending".

Good game, I think, even with its bugs and nonsensical choices.

 

[Tizoc]

No touchy!

 

[Regginator]

I threw a quick look on my Steam profile and apparently I haven't been logged on to Steam in two weeks. Damn you, Zelda! But I've beaten it today, 105 hours on the clock. What a game, my GOTG so far.


Anyway, I'm all yours again, Gabe.

LOOL Another "gem", I just finished the game few weeks ago, with the "True Ending". Good game, I think, even with its bugs and nonsensical choices.

It's quite unlike anything I've ever played before, the only thing that comes somewhat close is Deadly Premonition. I was sent on a quest to retrieve some old ladies' under garments and I failed the mission as a bird stole it from me the moment I actually managed to find the damn panties.

[Rhaknar]

That moment when you realize you are playing 2 Musou style games back to back...

which ones?

 

[Ludens]

Since it's on sale, I'll spend some words for Mad Father.
I bought it but I didn't think it was so good: I didn't like Corpse Party too much (essentially, too many dialogues and little gameplay, with obscure stuff to figure out in order to get the best ending and way too much backtracking in my opinion), and I thought Mad Father was something like that.
I was wrong.
If you can pass on the art (I didn't like it so much, I also think it's misleading in some ways), the core is pretty good. The gameplay is pretty much similar to what To the Moon offered, only...faster. There are less dialogues, more puzzles, even little side-quests you can complete in and there, usually rewarding you with an achievement and/or a gem (if you collect them all, you can unlock a secret epilogue I think).
The game is easy to follow and figure out, very linear and with a minimal amount of backtracking. Puzzles are never frustrating, and the introduction of QTE is a nice addition to propose something different between exploration and puzzle solving.

I really suggest you to buy the game, it's very cheap right now, it's not too long or short (let's say around 4 hours to 100% it) and for sure it's entertaining.

Thinking of giving MvC3 another chance (I gave it a chance in 2012 on the PS3 with UMvC3 and didn't like it but, also feel I didn't give it enough of a chance.) and thinking of getting it on PC. Already know how the netcode preforms and how it runs but, just kinda concerned about the community for random games since I don't know too many people that own, err well will play it.

ran to google to find where the save was located. Woops

Shoutouts to modders for coming through in the clutch. The cutscene/framerate fix would have been nice for the first playthrough, but it was nice to end the game out without it feeling like 15fps.

It's sold 30K+ so far which is pretty good all things considered. So I'd think the community should stay at least decent. Especially when sales hit.

King's Quest is the Nier Automata of point-&-click adventure games. Episode 1, which is free, was really innovative. I will get the full collection once it is on sale again.
