out of pillars, divinity, and wasteland 2, which is the "best"

i remember reading that wasteland is pretty rough, but that may be pre patch?

I'd like to play all 3 eventually but I have to come to terms with the fact that I'll never find the time. W2 is the most appealing to me because I'm a sucker for post apocalyptic settings but I think Divinity usually "wins" this debate, at least when it comes to gameplay.


Edit: god, these mobile ads are so fucking annoying.
 
Ahahaha, AHAHAHAHA, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH !!!

Finished a Hell run, once and it only took me 128 hours.

What a beast of a game.
Congrats Veggie! That's one of the true feats in modern games.
Did MKXL get renamed back to MKX while I was asleep?

Random bit of news. If you just got Twitch Prime as a part of your regular Prime subscription, you can get a free copy of Nuclear Throne by subscribing to the Vlambeer Twitch channel with your monthly token and then linking your Twitch account on the Nuclear Throne website.
I wish I knew about this before now, because I already threw mine to Idle Thumbs. Hopefully they will offer this for at least one month more. Does anyone know how the money works out for a twitch sub to get a key? No cut to Valve in that case.

Happy birthday jshackles, and thanks for the giveaway. Pay it forward. Interesting. It's been a while since we had one of those.

You'll get four types of answers. One for each game, and a fourth option to buy all of them (though start with one, they are all time consuming games). They are all great games within basically the same genre, yet they are quite different from each other. I'd have a hard time ranking them, or at least my ranking might change every week depending on my mood. Right now I'd go Divinity > Pillars > Wasteland 2 because right this moment I remember Divinity combat being the best. Next week I might prefer story and go for Pillars, and yet on another week I would go for Wasteland 2.

Happy Birthday jshackles!

As an aside, did anyone have any impressions from Elegy for a Dead World? Apparently, I missed the bundle that had it in it recently. I've been waiting for it to drop in price for a while now.

Divinity has some of the best combat ever seen in a turn based RPG, but it's story is utter trash. Pillars has really good RTWP combat and a really good story, with some stand out characters written by the dreamy Chris Avellone. Wasteland 2 I've not played.

So Pillars > Divinity > Wasteland 2

hot hot hanuman-on-man action
is there some sort of bundle w/ spec ops floating around?

i have avoided spoilers for this game for like... 10 years and now that i have a pc en route i want to play it asap
 
Heh. Click on the information dot to the right of the meter.

That's just... wow.

I wish I knew about this before now, because I already threw mine to Idle Thumbs. Hopefully they will offer this for at least one month more. Does anyone know how the money works out for a twitch sub to get a key? No cut to Valve in that case.

I just found out about it today, but my understanding is that they've been 'selling' the game by proxy of a Twitch subscription for a long time now. Well before this Twitch Prime business happened. I think the offer will be around when we get next month's token too.

Also, happy birthday JS! Have a good one.

I just gave DoA5 Core Fighters a try. The game is still very enjoyable but it is disappointing that they never added an option to play your friends (otherwise I would have bought the game long ago). The online mode is absolutely dead (at least in Europe) and for some reason I'm unable to get matched with a friend despite both of us looking for a match at the exact same time.
I might still pick up the full game if it will ever receive a decent discount, but without a online multiplayer those games aren't worth much to me anymore.

oh that explains it



I guess I don't play enough of those games :<

so you guys say Fall is still worth playing then? I already am set for War and the PG game, but Fall is the one that's hanging.

Get it. Although if you want check IsThereAnyDeal.com first to see when it is cheaper on other sites like Gamesplanet etc.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Happy birthday, jshackles.

Question for the spelunky die-hards: Do you care about getting the alien gun? Cause I try to get it every run, but I'm not sure that's the proper risk/reward thing to do. You can't take it with you to hell (if I'm correct?), but the fourth world and olmec are a lot easier and more profitable with it.

Happy birthday, js. I thought you already had a birthday recently. Time flies.

Personally, all I care is the jetpack and a shotgun. Also sticky bombs and the baseball glove are good stuff.
