Someone took "play-doh graphics" to a new level:

Current humblebundle:

Out of this games I only know GalCiv and Fallen Enchantress(This was made by the guy(or guys?) who made that famous Fall From Heaven mod IIRC), but I didn't play either of these games long enough to have an opinion on them. Anyone know how these games are?

 

[hello friend]

Fallen Enchantress is a good idea with terrible execution. Terrible, terrible execution.

 

[mastroego]

The XtraDeconstruct mod is good though.

Stardock in a nut shell.

Need some codexers to tell me if this Kickstarted mario64esque platformer turned out good:


Adaptation of Ogre came out yesterday

Edit: I suppose Empyre deserves a bump even if not my cup of tea

Need some codexers to tell me if this Kickstarted mario64esque platformer turned out good:

Aspects of gaming media claim this game supports White Supremacy or something, and want it destroyed.

Not sure if that's a glowing recommendation or just those same "aspects" of gaming media finally showing themselves to be bat-shit insane.

Jontron or whatever his name is voicing some characters in the game. Apparently, he's a nazi, but I know nothing about him or his views.

Recapping the last couple days and shit that was probably already covered in other threads:
Bob Bates' Thaumistry: In Charm's Way (www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/thaumistry-in-charms-way-a-new-comedy-text-adventure-game-by-bob-bates.112936/) finally landed on steam:

New humblebundle:

Do you guys think that this is worth it? I heard BL games were pretty fun in MP, if anyone wants to play together(and live close to Turkey for latency reasons) PM me
Also should I post these here or in the indie bundle thread? I post here because all keys are activated on Steam anyway
Also BL2 only includes these DLCs it says:
Psycho Character Pack
Mechromancer Character Pack
Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack
Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2

 

[Dawkinsfan69]

Wtf these assholes need to start including dlc in the bundled games endless legend has like $100 of dlc not included in classic

 

[Zombra]

Do you guys think that this is worth it?

Borderlands is worth a buck for sure. Van Helsing is supposed to be trash, Wurm is apparently MMO trash. Endless Legend is supposed to be a good 4x, I have it but haven't played it. Borderlands 2 is fine but it's just more of the same, might as well play Borderlands 1 twice. That said I would play the Pre-Sequel if someone gave it to me free.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

All 3 Borderlands games are fun, so is Endless Legend.

 

[I'm Big Into Anal]

nothing wrong with van helsing i had fun with the first game

 

[hello friend]

Endless Legend is cool but gets old real fast, there's not a lot of meat to the game.

 

[Hobo Elf]

I wouldn't bother getting Endless Legend unless it came with the DLC. The base game is really bare bones. It only feels like a complete game with all the DLC.

I felt the same while playing vanilla Endless Space. Kinda hoped that Legend will avoid that.
Strangely enough, Dungeon of the Endless holds much better, despite that it's a crazy vinaigrette of different genres and ideas.

First Borderlands has the best itemization, and it's really enjoyable with 3 other players, to maximize the chances of loot drops of enemies. Sadly I'm burn out on the series, and vanilla BL 2 was so bad when it comes to the weapons/leveling system that I didn't even bother with any DLC.

I guess Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep is kinda fun? Maybe tomorrow they have a casual Weekend Sale, I would recommend it at 66% off.

 

[Baron Dupek]

VH Final Cut - average playtime 11h?
Game contain all 3 games (with ~4 chapters each) merged into one world and yet most people bail out because it's that fukin boring.
Go with Path of Exile, it's free and vastly superior compared to other trash

Yeah, I heard it's good and actually a nice mini-episode, but like I said, the sequel was a letdown.

The problem with BL 2 apart from the butchered unique weapons system was that a) you were quickly out of ammo and you just had to gather ammo like a crazy hobo, especially for automatic rifles b) the stronger you get, the more deadly were the enemies. It doesn't matter if you have 26500 HP and 35000 shield. A couple of foes and bam - hey guys, revive me please. At least in the first part you could make add some bravado even without the support from other players.
